Garden Members to Hear Ridgefeld Man Deliver
 Talk on Trees

The Federated Garden clubs of Connecticut, through its program chairman, Mrs. Henry Renell or Southport, announces the following outstanding speakers for the annual spring lecture course:
 Maurice Condon of Ridgefield will speak on Trees. The subject was se- lected because of the present wide spread interest due to the damage wrought in the state this autumn. MT. Condon is one of the most pro- gressive men in the nursery industry today, watchful of every scientific development in the research labora- tories of our experimental stations and agricultural colleges. The nuIs- cry of which he is general manager has done much of the tree planting on the parkways of New York and at the Worlds Fair.
 The second speaker. Mrs. Robert R. Kerfott, will talk on Flower Ar- arrangements. She is one of the few lecturers who make arrangements while you watch. She demonstrates stem by stem. step by step. from the empty container to the complet- ed picture. An intensely interesting lecture full of real value.
 The thir6 speaker, Mrs. Henry Page wodell. will discuss How Gar dens Are Made. Mrs. Wodell is not only a delightful woman on the platform, but. she is a practical, rrl- derstarding person: her suggestions are always good. always applicable and always helpful. The frequently heard criticism that the lecturer talks only of big gardens, expen- sively designed. cannot be made of Mrs. Wodell. she will give plenty of ideas that can be used on the small property

 The Vatican also owns 0 German monoplane but this is parked in 0 Roman airport for there is no room to build landing field,
 Wandering around the grounds one would come upon the little jail which is nearly always empty, the handsome Civil Government Palace built at the order of Plus xI, the Ethiopian College where members of M,issolini's new subject race come to study for the Roman Catholic priesthood, the large buildings housing the Papal staff, the famous Vatican Gardens, the fine Vatican Observatory, the Academy of sci- ence, the Papal Palace and the factory-residential section where the plain people live. Here is located the two-level garage built by Plus XI. It houses about 100 autos bee longing to various officials. The Pope has five cars for his personal use. His American car bears license No. l.
 In the factory residential are., is the modern printing shop erected by Plus xI. The plant has rotary presses and linotype machines. Here are printed the Papal daily "Os- servatore Romano" which many consider the freest paper in Italy; q weekly illustrated paper called "1i- lustrazione Vaticana," and Q weekly political review, "Rassegna 1nterna- zionaie."
 Near the Osservatore building ai, the Vatican power house and Il machine shops where everything from household gadgets to heavy machinery Is repaired by the corps of skilled mechanics.
 Tn this area is the "village post office," modernistic building erected by Plus XI. Nearby Is the "village pharmacy" where drugs only-are sold. The Vatican's l00C inhabitants are under the care 0. three doctors. Serious cases are hos pitalised outside in Rome.

 None of these modern utilities have dimmed the glory of those other things for which the Vatican was famous; its books, its art.
 The library, renovated and fire- proofed by Plus xI, contains nearly Q half million printed books and many thousands of Greek and Latin manuscripts.
 No other place has been painted, sculpted and decorated by so many geniuses.

DECLARES FISH
Union,
However, Turns Down
Chairman's Plea

OSLO, Norway, Aug. IL. The
American delegation to the inter-
parliamentary Union Congress has
washed its collective hands of the
proposal by its chairman, New York
Representative Hamilton Fish.
Fish visited German Foreign
Minister Won Ribbentrop on his
way to Oslo and says that he came
away with the impression that
Europe will have war by next Sun
day.
Fish proposed to seek approval
of the Interparliamentary Union of
plan for a 30-day truce and ne
gotiation by Germany, italy, France
and Britain to be followed by i'm
partial arbitration of the remain
ing differences.
The % other Congressman and
four Senators emphasized at a
meeting before the Congress con-
vened that Fish's plan was his
own and that they wanted no part
of it.

Big Guns Of Army and Navy
Cant Go 10 South America
BY PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Aug. II. The
last-minute legislative jam in the
Senate stopped the War and Navy
Departments from extending our
hemispherical defense network down
along the coasts of South America.
Legislation was proposed to let
Latin American republics buy our
most modern air and coast defense
weapons direct from the army and
navy. The law already permits
them to buy munitions here from
private concerns. But private U. S.
concerns don't manufacture heavy
calibre coast defense weapons nor
the speed-firing and sighting de-
vices for anti-aircraft operation.
The only place the Latin Ameri-
can countries have been able to
buy such equipment is in Europe.
They are buying it extensively.
Prices are much lower than for
American stuff. Only recently Brazil
placed an order for $6O,000,000 worth
of German artillery and other war
material Germany took cotton, cof-
fee and other raw products in ex-
change.
Brazil is building three destroyers
from American steel, but, now that
they are about finished, she can't
buy U. S. guns for them although
the U. S. navy has large stocks.
The State Department doesn't like
the idea of European nations, nota-
bly, Germany and Italy, supplying
South American nations. The De-
partment thinks it is likely to win
the Latin Americans away from the
u. S. orbit.

Professors
AfHearinq
Of Bridges
Both Testify Communists
Do Not Advocate
Violence

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. II.
The Harry Bridges deportation
hearing developed into a technical
and philosophical discussion of the
writings of socialist authors yes
terday.
The defense summoned two Stan
ford University professors, Harold
Chapman Brown and Walter
Thompson in an attempt to show
that the Communist party does not
advocate the overthrow of the gov
eminent by force and violence. The
government seeks to deport the
Australian born CLIO leader on
the grounds that he is a Commun-
list.
Both professors denied that they
are Communists but both have
made extensive studies of Commun-
list teachings.
Brown insisted during five hours
of cross examination that he found
nothing in the writings of Com
munist leaders to indicate that they
favor violence. He admitted that
his knowledge covers only theory
and not the actual workings of
the Party
Thompson corroborated Browns
testimony. He said that the claim
that Marx or Engels advised a
small band of Communists to adj
vocate overthrow of the govern
ment of the United States by force
and violence is too ridiculous to
warrant consideration.
Bridges did not attend yester-
days hearings.

NEGOTIATIONS
DEADL0CKED IN
COAST TROUBLE
Employers, Longshoremen
Exchange Letters on
Proposed Contracts

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. II.
The Waterfront Employers Asso-
citation and the Longshoremen's
Union have exchanged letters, but
the tons of the communications did
little toward bringing about new
working contract.
Negotiations were broken off last
Saturday when representatives of
the two groups could find no basis
for agreement.
The Coast faces the threat of an
other maritime strike unless a new
contract is signed by September 30.
In yesterdays exchange the En-
ployer's Association secretary, F.. p
Foisoe declared that penalty pro-
visions are necessary in the new
contract because longshoremen par
ticipated in socalled "quickie" strikes
and other job disputes in the past
nine months. He said all disputes
should be settled by arbitration in
stead of by direct action.
Longshore Chief Harry Bridges
replied that each case resulted from
an attempt of the association to
chisel on the dock workers. He
charged that the employers collabo-
rated with labor spies and strike
breaking agencies to undermine and
wreck the unions.

DEMOCRATIC
PARTY MUST
BE LIBERAL
Solicitor General Jackson
Gives His Views
10 Leaders

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,. Aug. II. =
Solicitor General jackson said to-
day that liberal Democratic party
must carry on the Roosevelt poll
cies in 1910.
Jackson said Illinois Democratic
leaders fear that conservatives
within the party hope to adopt
middle of the road course next year.
Said he: "a middle of the road
driver, as everyone knows. simply
holds up traffic going in both di-
rections. In this way some men
hope to eliminate the Roosevelt
philosophy from the 1910 campaign.
The answer of the rank and file
Democrats to this move has been
a widespread demand that Presi-
dent Roosevelt himself accept an
other term. They know that our
Party will hold power only while
it is faithful to leadership that
faces the moral. social and econom-
ic issues of its times"
