The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-05-19

Detroit, May 19.-Very few people in the motor capital take seriously the demand for congressional inves- tigation of the citizenship of Will liam John Cameron.
 The portly. silver-haired man of 61, whose voice is familiar to mill lions as speaking for Henry Ford on the popular Sunday evening radio hour of that company, has been a Detroit fixture for more than 50 years. Canadian-born (Hamilton Ont, Dec. 29, 1878), Cameron always believed he was a citizen because his father was.
 When he wanted to go to Europe few years ago, he was asked to find proof of that. He couldn't. So he went to federal court, and in 1885 citizenship was granted by that court without filing of the customary dec- larations, under law apparently providing for just such cases. Cam eron welcomes any investigatoin INTIMATE
 WITH FORD
 More interesting than the citizen ship question. however, is Cameron himself and his relations with the Ford company. Without specific or identifying title, Cameron holds an intimate relationship with Henry Ford.
 Cameron's office in the Engineer ing Laboratory at Dearborn is close to os much of an office as Ford may be said to have. The motor magnate has no desk-his headquarters are wherever his nimble and restless feet take him. Cameron'S office is as frequent port of call" as any.
 This intimate relationship goes back more than 20 years. Cameron had been for 15 years in the edito- rial department of the Detroit News in varying capacities, rising to that of managing editor. In 1918 he switched to the Ford Motor Co.,, and was soon on the staff of the Dear born Independent.

perhaps 10 millions. The gospel he expounds in this hour, if not Ford's, is undistinguishable from Ford's- the philosophy of individualism, high productivity, opposition to the banking and money power, and such opposition to labor unionism as it functions today as to amount to op- position to labor unionism.
 Cameron lives quietly in Dear born, functions in simple surround ings at Ford's, quite without display or ostentation. Thus he is almost un- known in his personal character to a country which knows him well as a potent voice and the public alter ego of Henry Ford.

Small Claims Court Pays
Own Way, Cayton Relates

Judge Nathan Cayton told men,
bers of the Cosmopolitan Club yes
terday how the Small Claims Court
of the District had functioned for
10 months without costing the tax
payers a penny.
Delay and expense were the chief
difficulties confronting the small
claims litigant prior to the found
ing of the Small Claims Court,
Judge Cayton, its founder, said. The
clerk of the court is now empowered
to interview witnesses, and if he
feels there is case the cost of
filing is 81. To this is added the
registered mail service of 20 cents,
which has cut down the cost of
serving summons, and if the plain
tiff does not have the necessary
fees it is put in the costs waived"
docket. Under the old plan the
plaintiff would have taken the paul
per's OATH"
The clerk has interviewed more
than 5000 persons in the 10 months
the court has been in existence,
Judge Cayton continued, and more
than 300 have been in the waived
costs" class. More than $50 cases
have been conciliated by the judge
without trial, more than 1000 have
been settled out of court before
coming to trial. About $500 cases
have been tried.
The court has paid all its expenses
by taking in over $4,000 in fees,
Judge Cayton told the club He

the Forum Committee. President

| Plates Not Made
| By Paul Revere
BY the Associated Press.

CLEVELAND, Feb. 17.-Dr. Fred
erick c. Waite, professor Of histology
and embryology at Western Reserve
University, said today Paul Revere
did not make George Washington's s
dental plates.
Historians, he said, long have at
tributed to the famed moonlight
rider-dentist the unruly teeth used
by Washington. DR.. Waite deposited
with the Reserve School Of Dentistry
documents which, he said, show that
the teeth were made by John Green
wood, Washington's personal dentist
The plates were carved from the
tusks of hippopotamus or the
horns of COW. The upper and lower
sets were joined with spring hinge
and as a result provided numerous
difficulties, historians say.
DR.. Waite said Revere, a gold and
silver smith, could not have made
the teeth because the Father OF
the Country" had them before
Revere's teacher, DR.. John Baker,
came to this continent from London
in 1767.
Among DR.. Waites papers was a
copy of the Boston Gazette and
Country Journal of August 20, ITO
in which Revere advertised he could
fix teeth "as well as any surgeon
dentist who ever came from Lon
don," and that 'he fixes them in
such a manner that they are not
only an Ornament but of real Use
in speaking and eating"

GROUP WILL PROMOTE
DIAMOND JUBILEE,
PRESERVE HISTORY

Organization of the "Red-
wood Falls Pioneers" whose
purpose will be to sponsor the
Diamond Jubilee homecoming
this summer and future at
fairs of a similar nature and
to preserve historical mater
ial on the city, will get under
way Friday.
Plans were furthered at a
meeting of the jubilee COM
mittee Wednesday and will
be completed tonight at a
meeting of the American Legion
Auxiliary. That organization has
volunteered to promote the sale
of memberships.
Attractive buttons bearing the
insignia of the celebration are
here and will be sold in a con-
certed drive. Memberships will
cost 81 and it is hoped that sew
eral hundred former residents as
well as local people will join.
The committee decided to give
one membership with each dona-
ton to the celebration of SIS or
more, giving the organization sew
eral score of members from the
outset. Donators of amounts of
more than SIS will receive but one
membership, however.
The name was chosen after
careful consideration of several
suggestions and was favored be-
cause of the desire to make the
organization more than a temper
airy project. The need for some
group to take an interest in his
tory of the community has long
been apparent.
Also here are ten thousand en-
velopes printed with the insignia
of the celebration which will help
advertise it far and wide. They
are available to residents in small
packets, as well as in larger
quantities for business and pro-
fessional men.
Plans for the celebration are
progressing rapidly and will be
Laid before the Civic and Com
merce association at a big meet

ming at the city hall.
The program will include two
days crammed with interesting
events, Sunday and Monday, Aug
ust 20 and 81, followed by the

Relief Items
Secret Despite

SLIM HOPE SEEN FOR
PUBLICATION; BLAME
FEDERAL RULING

Redwood county taxpayers who
clamored for publication of relief
items and believed their goal was
reached through the passage of a
bill by the 1899 legislature were
disappointed this week as Benja-
min E. Youngdahl, director of
public assistance with the state
board of control, indicated that
the status of relief publication
rulings remains about the same
as it was before the new law was
passed.
County Attorney Tom Reed re-
ceived the letter after he had ask
ed for Qualification of the new re-
lief publication law on behalf of
the board of county commission
erS.
'The federal social security
board" wrote Mr.. Youngdahl,
Gin 1888 passed a resolution to
the effect that it would consider
as one of the factors in judging
the efficiency of the state plan
whether the state agency had the
power to and did promulgate
rules and regulations prohibiting
the improper use of lists of names
and preserving the confidential
nature of the records"
'In view of that requirement,
it is our Interpretation that we
must issue rules and regulations
which will prohibit the publica-
ton of names of public assistance
recipients which will prohibit the
granting of lists of such recipients
and which will keep confidential
certain material in the records.
"This agency plans to issue
such a regulation in the relative
ly near future. 1t is our inter-
probation that once such a regula-
ton is issued, it will have the
force of law as stated in chap
ter 1885,"

ditures, the publication of which
are not prohibited by law"
