he were bit jumpy), was bringing
him down the Amazon on a river
launch some years ago. Every time
Raymond jumped overheard the
captain had to reverse his engines,
drop the anchor and put rowboat
oversize.
Raymond and the crew of the row.
boat put on some splendid races,
with the little tapir doing the
Australian crawl, or something, and
the seamen laying to their oars. It
was hot on the Equator and some
of the crew were slow about ap-
plauding Raymond's aquatic talents
The Indians on the shore, however,
cheered and cheered! Being igno-
rant savages, with little more than
a G-string to their names, they
thought the white men were staging
a regatta.
Now the captain, in addition to
Raymond, had a lot of coconuts
and Brazil nuts on board. Like
many another Brazilian, he wasn't
in too much of hurry-there al
ways being tomorrow or the day
after-but he did hope to get down
the Amazon by Christmas anyhow
He doubtless felt that a lot of small
boys in the States would appreciate
Brazil nuts in their stockings on
Christmas morning.
Pre-Whistle Warning.
So the captain worked out a
system. Being a Brazilian, he loved
to blow whistles, Raymond or no
Raymond. So he kept right on
blowing the whistle for landings,
curves and crazy Indians in canoes.
but he began to seek out DR.. Mann
in advance.
Don Senor Doktur." he would
say, Il am about to blow the
whistle!"
Then everybody would jump up
and search the ship for Raymond,
who usually was busy about his
own affairs-nibbing the crews
shirts on a wash line, squealing
about under the cooks legs in the
galley, etc. Raymond, being only
youngster, still in short pants (he
hadn't outgroWn the juvenile stripes
on his coat, would get bundled off
to the little boys washroom and
locked inside. Then somebody would
run to give the "all clear" signal.
Even then Raymond would jump
into the bathtub every time the
whistle blew.
Il should think he would have
caught his death of cold" l said
Dry Jump.
THAT shows, William" DR.. Mann
said, that you don't know much
about bathtubs on old Amazon River
boats. In those days the last thing
you'd see in one was water!"
If DR.. Mann gets any tapirs here
Che hopes for two) they will be in
crates going back. The ships of
the good neighbor fleet have big
whistles. and tapir would have to
be high diver as we'll as channel
swimmer to duplicate Raymond's
stunt.
DR.. Mann became quite attached
to Raymond. as men often do to the
creatures who give them most
trouble. He got him safely through
to the States. And then one day
| without any warning Raymond died.
1t wasn't pneumonia, overexertion,
overeating or homesickness.
He just died-another of the
heartbreaks that sometimes go with
the collecting business.

The Democratic majority divides
up into blocs.
Here and there a Democratic bloc
will form an alliance with the Re-
publicans- maybe that alliance
will put the singer into the Demo-
cratic majority.
I've referred especially to the
Senate, because that's more compact
than the House of Representatives;
hence easier to analyze. But they're
in the same classification.

rest, anyway. Rest is just what the

point, often is mean customer. Still

Senator Norris doesn't count. Once
he was a Republican, and now vir
tually he's New Dealer, but he quit
being a Republican quite a while ago
and today officially is an Indepen-

Senator La Toilette, in effect, is
an administration Democrat, but he

Senatorial Leader Barkley gamble

The Republicans, though? They

They vote in one bunch. They're in a
minority, but they vote together as

Refugees Would
Develop Alaska,
Declares Report

WASHINGTON, April 13. CUP
Interior department experts in
report to Secretary Harold l.
Ickes today intimated strongly
their belief that utilization of Alas
ka as haven for European refug-
ees greatly would aid development
of the territory.
The report, although not refer
ring specifically to proposals that
Alaska be utilized as such a haven,
was compiled to furnish informa-
ton on development prospects af-
ter many inquiries had been made
as to the possibility of settlement
of Alaska by European Jews and
other political refugees.
The report said development of
Alaska now is hampered by lack
of man-p power and capital 1t added
that settlement properly planned
and based upon adequate financ-
ing might conceivably benefit
Alaska by development of new in
dustries upon resources now being

creased prices. The tellers sold the
coins given them for deposit at
$3.50 an ounce, substituting or
binary currency for the coins.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-03-22

Earlier in the day MT. MaScoii stated that no conferences had been held and the situation remained un- changed.
 MT. Mascoli at the outset of the strike issuing a public statement stating that the union had refused to cooperate with him.
 In reply to MT. Mascoli's statement James Manetti, business agent of the Motion Picture Operators Local BOA, today presented the unions side of the case. His statement is aS follows:
 "The fact that other theaters in the city of the same seating capacity as the Plaza employ two motion pie ture operators does not justify the Plaza in doing likewise, since . service the Plaza demands requires the labor of three men, and no less.
 The true facts are these:
 On January list, Mascoli nego- tiated a verbal agreement to employ four men so as to be able to run from 10 8. m. to Il p. m. On January 4th, however, he asked to drop one man because he had decided to run from 1 to II p. m. instead of 10 a. m. to il D. m. That was permitted. Two weeks later, he asked for . re- duction of pay for the three men, which was granted by the union.
 On March 1st, he proposed to drop one man. This proposition was turned down by the organization.
 Last Saturday night Mascoli then dismissed all union men from the Plaza.
 As result of this, the union withdrew all men from the Carroll because it felt that since no union men were employed at the Plaza, 1t is only logical that there should be no union men employed at the Car- roll which is under the same man. and control.
 It seems strange, however, that MT. should have substitutes al. ready at hand when he dismissed the union men at the Plaza Satur. day night without notice.
 Inasmuch as the Plaza has er11s ployed three men of our organiza- ton since 1881, which has been ab. solutely justified by the services de. do not see why the prac. tice should now be changed without reason or ground whatsoever.
 "The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees and Mov-. ing Picture Machine Operators of the United States, of which BOA is a part, has supplied men since 1903 to the theaters of this city.
 I have never refused to cooper. ate. am always ready and willing to cooperate in the interest of jus- tice and fairness for union labor"

 The bill repeating the present statutory restrictions was passed without debate. It already has been passed in the House and now goes to Governor Raymond E. Baldwin for his signature.
 Section 2264 of the General Sta tutes provides the pay of Assistant States Attorney shall not exceed $25 per court day.
 Senator William D. Shea of Man. chester in presenting the favorable report of the Judiciary committee today said the statutes made it im- possible to compensate assistant states attorneys for work done oth- CT than in court.
 With repeal of Section 2264 pay ment of assistant states attorneys comes under the provisions of Sec- tion 6539 of the General Statutes which takes care in general of costs of court prosecutions.

USED CAR BUYERS
 OFFERED VALUES
Greatest Opportunities in Years Await PrOspec-
 tive Owners

All prospective used car buyers should be yitally interested in the announcement sponsored by the Wa terbury Automobile Merchants asso- citation which appears in today's Democrat. The new car dealers of Waterbury and surrounding territory are participating in great spring used car selling event at this time. These new car dealers now have one of the finest selections of late model used cars on display in their show rooms and in anticipation of a busy automobile merchandising season have decided to clean these cars out at astonishingly low prices in or der to make room for new arrivals. Right now they are offering some of the finest bargains that have ever been available in used cars.
 Every one of these cars has been thoroughly reconditioned in these dealers own service shops by trained automobile servicemen. This factor assures safe and satisfactory per- formance. You will find that 1t is much cheaper to buy later model car than to recondition your present car for spring and summer driving, You can get~a better buy from a new car dealer right now because used car prices are bound to in- crease later as tn seasonal demand increases and the good buys become more scarce. And don't forget, the longer you keep your present car the smaller allowance you will re- ceive when you do change over, so why not get on the band wagon now and cash in on this once-in-a-life- time opportunity.
