Self-Sufficiency
 Italy's Aim Today
Dr. Leonard CoveIlo Tells Unico Club Ethiopian Con=
 quest and Spanish intervention Called Mistakes

The role of Italy is not to ex- pand its empire, but to continue to make its cultural contributions to civilization, said Dr. Leonard Co., vello, principal of Benjamin Frank lin High school, New York City, in an address at the Waterbury Unico Club last night. The lecture, largely attended by teachers, leading pro- fessional men, and many out-of- town visitors, was preceded by a dinner.
 Easing his impressions on an automobile trip through Southern Italy last summer, Dr. Covello said that many Italians believe that the Ethiopian conquest and the Span- ish intervention were mistakes, springing nj great part from the Italian dream of regaini11g the posi- tion in the Mediterranean that once was Rome's. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the speaker con- tinued, the country was split into factions and the Roman colonies were seized by others.
 The long period of attempting to regain political unification, Dr. Gov clio said, was marked by great diff ficulties caused by strife among the city states on the one hand, and foreign dominance on the other While politically for many centur- ies Italy was torn apart, the speak CT declared her activity in the arts which reached its peak in the renaissance, was prominent.
 With the eventual political uni- fication, which was not completely achieved until 1918, when Italy added two more provinces to the combination which began in 1870, the country developed a strong cen- tral government, then a totalitarian state, and now dreams again of empire.
 One of the main objectives of the country at present, Dr. Covello said, is to attain self-sufficiency. This

BOSTON COLLEGE
 TO REPEAT PLAY
Return Presentation of "Second Spring" to Be
 Given April 2l

A return presentation Of Emmet Lavery's Second Spring." play based on the life of Cardinal New man, will take place in Boston at Majestic theater on April q. The play was first produced on any stage in February by the Boston College Dramatic club, Rev. John l.. Bonn, formerly of this city, directing. As sisting on the production staff was James Deeley, s. J., also formerly of this city.
 The April presentation, which is by popular demand, due to the Suc- cess of the February performances, will be for a most worthy motive, the proceeds to be donated to the Father Finn Medal Fund. The Father Finn medal is awarded an nually to the author of the best boys and girls book, and the first award will be made ill l940. A ma tiopal committee is promoting this project, and Catholic colleges, schools, and associations, will be asked to donate proceeds from some artistic presentation. The inaugu- ration of this project takes place in Boston with the April presenta- ton of Emmet Laverys Second Spring."
 When this play was produced in Boston in February by Father Bonn, the author came to Boston to see its first performance and had the greatest praise for the acting of the students, stage settings and direc- ton. About this play Commonweal comments in its current issue that the American theater has passed up a moving and distinctive play in not giving it professional presen- tation. Grenville Vernon, writing in that review, says, "'Second Spring Is a work of art, and a work If Catholic art. We have too few such works in America to be willing to neglect them" MT. Vernon also compliments the Boston college group and it's directors for being the first to give MT. Layery's play yis- ual form"

LEGISLATIVE DEVELOPMENTS | OF INTEREST

State Capitol, Hartford, March 29.-The labor committee yester- day afternoon voted to report favorably on a bill calling for the appointment of a commission of five to study the employment problem of men over 45. Several speakers supported the bill at a hearing, among them Major Leonard Maloney, who spoke on behalf of the state employment service and the Yankee Division Veterans association.
 The cities and borOughs cOm- mittee has reported unfavorably on a bill providing for biennial elections in the town of Beacon Falls. The committee said that no one appeared to speak in fa- v0r of the measure.
 Alleged discourtesy on the part of the judiciary committee to those who attended the liquor bills hearings last week was charged in the senate yesterday by Senator Daniel Mccarthy of Ansonia. Though hundreds were unable to gain entrance to the small hearing room, he said, the committee refused to transfer the hearing to the hall of the house, where there are better facilities for handling a large crowd.
 Tabled for the calendar and printing in the house yesterday was a favorable report on a bill allowing the town of, Litchfield to set up zoning commission. The commission personnel would in- clude the first selectman of the town of Litchfield, wardens of the boroughs of Litchfield and Ban tam, and four other individuals.
 Republican legislators from the 31st senatorial district yesterday endorsed Hallock Clark Of Win sted, for the post of Litchf1eld county commissioner. He won the endorsement over Lee Kellogg of Canaan, and Abraham Martin of Salisbury.
 Insurance Commissioner John Blackall spoke before the finance committee yesterday for bill re- quiring automobile finance com panies to be registered with the state banking commissioner. Such registration would require an an- nual fee of $25.
 Governor Raymond E. Baldwin, it developed yesterday, visited the site of the state home for the feeble minded, at Southbury, Sum- day afternoon. Alleged excessive prices paid for some land pur- chased for the site have been un- der criticism.
 Democrats in the lower house took exception yesterday to re- mark by Rep. Hugh M. Alcorn, IT,, Republican majority leader, that legislators from New Britain make up in lung power what they lack in sagacity in financial mat ters." The remark was made dur ing the debate on the New Britain bond bills, which were defeated by the Republican majority. T. Elm met Clarie, Democratic minority leader, declared that MT. Alc0rn's statement was "most improper"
 MT. Alcorn and other Republi- can leaders came in for criticism from Rep. Wesley Carroll, Repub- lican of East Hartford, who charged that the G. o. P. steer ing committee was regularly de- laying the start of the legislative sessions. Rep. Carrolps move to have the committee censured was defeated.
 The Merritt Parkway scandal was rehashed during a hearing yesterday afternoon on a bill to license real estate agents. OppOn- ents of the bill said that in pre- viOus sessions similar bills had been supported by several real estate men later indicted in the parkway investigation.

drive, the result of the boycotts im- posed on Italy, during the Ethiopian campaign, has been in many ways fruitful.
 As far as the condition of the Italian people is concerned, Dr.. Covello stated that a great deal de- bends on what part of Italy one visits. In some sections there is unemployment and hardship, while in others there is plenty of work and higher standard of living. In general, most Italians have faith in Mussolini, and they seem willing to bear privation and discipline for the sake of the state. Although there is a marked tension because of the possibility of war, the speak CT continued Italian youth has been reared to accept the idea of danger unflinchingly.
 Dr. Covello declared that there exists in Italy general dislike against the anti-Semetic decrees. Several Italians expressed the opin- ion, he said, that the decrees were more a gesture on the part of Mus solini, designed to show Hitler that his heart was in the right place, than general man persecution. Italy has been liberal for centuries, admitting all who came to her scores, and the idea of race perse- cution is distasteful, he said.
 With regard to the United States, >rA T4A1s are kindly, and that many still re- gard this country as the land of opportunity.
 Rev. Joseph valdambrini, presi- dent of the Unico Club, introduced the speaker. On the committee of arrangements were Joseph Man ganaro, Frederick w. Palomba, Will liam Summa Amedeo Pelosi, and Paul Puzzo.
