YALE PROFESSOR
SPEAKSAT YMCA

DR.. Raymond Kennedy, instructor
OF sociology and antropology at Yale
university, told a large gathering at
the lobby forum held at the
Y. M. G. A. last night that racial
prejudice can be eliminated by edu-
cation. 1t Is obvious he said that
racial prejudice is instilled In the
minds of the younger generation
openly or indirectly and proper edu-
cation can eliminate 1t.
He reviewed the anthropological
rise OF man and said that there was
little biological difference in the
human race so that there was there
lore no biological basis for racial
prejudice. He gave the characters
tics OF the various types for humans
and cited reasons for apparent pre-
JUDGE, most Of which, he said, were
founded on jealousy, fear, of fiction.
He explained that anti-Semiticism,
Tor instance. waxed strong in times
like these, when people feel that
someone ought to be blamed and
easily adopt the suggestions of pro-
pagandists that the Jews are to
blame, regardless OF truth. The anti
Negro wave down South, he said, is
fostered chiefly by politicians today,
whereas years ago It was the land
lords who kept the colored folks
|subdued. He said that the Negro in
America Is becoming lighter each
year, some 10000 being assimilated
into the white race.

Package Store Assn.
Plans Injunctions To
Bring Cos. In Line
Al to Be Issued Locally Recent Article By Director
Of Assn. Relates History Of Movement to Estab-
IisEl Fair Price Schedule In Member Stores

Waterbury will furnish the back
ground for a fight to the finish on
the part Of the Connecticut Retail
Package Stores Association, Inc. to
effect plan seeking state support
in the future in the establishment
Of fair trade price maintenance on
a practical basis.
The Beverage Times" the organ
ization,s paper In its issue, Just out,
announces that Al injunctions will
be issued In Waterbury fair trade
test case, which 1t is hoped by the
association will be generally sup
ported throughout the state and
bring the fair trade matter, which
was acted upon by the last General
Assembly, to the front and put on
successful operating basis.
Theodore L. Taylor, executive d.
rector Of the association, in an ar
ticle in the Beverage Times" tells
the story in part as follows.
Some time ago, the Calvert Dis
tilling company In cooperation with
the Waterbury local Of the state as
ISOLATION, issued voluntary injunc-
tons to all AZ retailers in the city
Of Waterbury. Due to extentuating
circumstances since that time, 1t
was found that one manufacturer
could not alone maintain fair trade
prices In such an inflexible manner
without receiving equal protection
from his competitive manufacturers
in the same market. Therefore, the
Waterbury retailers requested in
functions on all merchandise APP
pearing on the fair trade list.
1t was found that to receive vol
untary injunctions on all merchan-
disc, 1t was necessary that such in
functions be issued by retailer VS..
fair trade suit. This was necessary
since 1t was impossible to receive

Two 1904 Cars
Oldest Now On
State Highways

Under the title Where Are The
Cars Of Yesteryears?" the State
Department Of Motor Vehicles has
prepared a report showing that
1875 per cent of the $685. 18 motor
vehicles registered In Connecticut
as of July 3lst were 1880 models
or antedating that year.
I'VE have many requests" stated
Commissioner Michael A. Conner,
discussing the report. from time
to time asking for breakdown on
motor vehicle registrations by year
OF manufacture. This report de-
veloped as a byproduct of research
conducted to learn the year of
manufacture of cars involved In
traffic accidents, the percentage Of
involvement as to number regis
tered, etc. The objective Is to de-
termine whether there is any sig
nificance as to the age of cars in
volved In traffic mishaps. That
study Is In progress, this report on
cars Of yesteryears' coming to
pass as an interesting sidelight."
Two Ford cars, 1904 model, are
the Oldest motor vehicles regis
tered in Connecticut. Then comes
1914 Oakland. AS the years 60 on,
the registrations increase until
1913 cars Of 1924 models are reg
istered. Names long since forgot
ten by many are included, such
as Chandler, Davis, Flint, Jordan,

facturers on such a plan. Therefore
the state association with the CO.
operation of the waterbury local,
chose a plaintiff retailer, Michael A.
Pace of the Gem Package store, 35l
East Main street in waterbury, to
appear as plaintiff In Al injunctions
to be taken out restraining all Wa,
terbury stores from selling all Mer-
chandise listed on fair trade below
the fair trade prices.
Voluntarily, Signed
The papers have been drawn up
by Attorney Abraham D. Slavitt Of
South Norwalk. Mr.. Pace volun-
teered as plaintiff and will restrain
by injunctions, which will be vol
unfairly signed and served upon
each Of the other Al dealers in the
city of Waterbury, SO Of whom are
members of the local and state as
ISOLATION. There are approximately
200 items listed in the cumulative
Injunction and any further viola
lions on any Of these price con-
tracts will place the violator liable
to be held for contempt proceedings
by the court.
The financing Of this plan has
been accomplished by contribu-
tions given by those affected by
this plan. The state association
as well as the local leaders hope
that contempt proceedings will
not be necessary, but with the
cooperation Of the state associa-
ton, we will be fully prepared to
shop and follow through with any
contempt proceedings based upon
these injunctions.
The state associations plan Of
price maintenance does not 70 as
far as voluntary signatures or the
actual acceptance Of injunctions
by voluntary signatures. The state
associations plan Is actually to
create q shopping agency or police
powers to bring violators to the
attention Of the courts. This shop
ping service Is the expensive part
Of fair trade price maintenance.

the Nazi Fuehrer for rendering pro-

The government, which today
welcomed Polish Foreign Minister
August Zaleski to London to con-
fer on war aims and on formation
of a Polish fighting legion, was be-
lieved to have decided to delay any
complete statement on the Allied
war aims.
Last week it had been indicated
that the Allies would soon announce
detailed statement of their war
aims. said to have been tentatively
drafted. But consultations with the
French appeared to indicate that
the Paris government considers the
moment inopportune. Chamberlain
presumably has deferred to the
French viewpoint.
Tt was understood that Chamber
