ton in the protectorate is reported
to be extremely low. A large pro-
portion of the people seem to think
some kind of disaster is inevitable
and imminent-either major Euro
pean war, or internal collapse of
some kind. A good many Czechs
even seem to look forward to the
possibility of a major war, with
actual hope in the expectation that
such development would afford the
only real chance for recovery of
Czech independence.
Czechs also claim that their whole
economic system is being gutted
Currency initiation already has be-
gun, they assert, and they even &C
cuse the Nazis of deliberately print
ing an excessive number of bank
notes to use in acquiring Czech prop
erty.
Nazi quarters deny the Czech
charges fatty. They claim that the
Czechs themselves are deliberately
wrecking their own economic struc-
ture. There is at least this much
agreement between the Germans
and Czechs on this score, however
they disagree as to who is RESPONSE
BILE but they agree that the pro-
tectorate's economic system is in a
bad way.
Attack on National Unity Charged.
CZechS also claim that the NaziS
are using the Czech Fascist party to
attack the very scheme of national
unity" and one-party rule which the
Nazis themselves forced on the
Czechs in the first place The Nazis
were surprised and annoyed by the
fervor with which the Czechs ral-
lied together and supported the
one-party system, according to these
charges, and are now encouraging
the Fascists to destroy 1t.

New Budget Director
Suggests Unit 10 Map
New Deal Spending
Would Have Board Fix
Long-Ronee Policy
Of Expenditures
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Harold D. Smith, new director of
the Federal budget, today suggested
creation of planning board to fix
the Governments long-range spend
ing policy.
What he wants, he explained,
amounts to fiscal road map so that
when a costly undertaking is advo-
Gated a look at the map will show
whether it is on the same road as
the other Federal spending activi-
ties.
Mr.. Smith would not say whether
he favored the budget-balancing
ideas of Secretary of the Treasury
Morgenthau or the borrow money
In bad times-pay off in good times"
theory of Chairman Eccles of the
Federal Reserve Board.
But he would like to have some
definite policy decided in advance
so the budgets of the next few years
can fit into it.
Broad and Specific Fields.
Tentatively, he proposes that the
National Resources Board, headed
by Frederic A. Delano, do the broad
planning. Then he would have an
other group, such as the Presidents S
Fiscal and Monetary Committee
which includes Mr.. Smith, Secretary
Morgenthau ano Mr.. Eccles-trans-
late the general policy into specific
projects and appropriation requests.
The budget directors advocacy of
a plan to systemize Government
spending came as a Senate COM
mittee approved employment of an
executive staff of 10 or IL experts
to make the Commerce Department
driving force" in promoting trade
and industry and working out broad
business problems.
The Appropriations Committee, at
the request of President Roosevelt,
added $257,500 to the Commerce
Department appropriation bill to
setup the new staff directly under
Secretary Hopkins.
Members of the group, distinct
from the departments Business Ad-
visory Council, whose members do
pot draw pay from the Government,
would be selected from many fields
and would be paid a maximum of
$4,000 year
Not Limited to Department..
That would not limit their ac-
tlvity to Commerce Department
matters, according to Secretary
Hopkins testimony before the COM
mittee made public today. They
would consider also in a broad way
problems concerning labor, anti
trust matters, consultations and
other questions which come before
other branches of the Government.
Mr.. Hopkins told the committee
his short experience in the depart
ment had convinced him it's exist
ing bureaus cannot touch a "frac-
ton of the problems" of industry.
Their work needs to be spanked
by a driving force of policy" he
said. 1T is the lack of any organi-
zation for forming and carving
through broad vital policies that
now most concerns me-"

Seap|ane Cuba Lands
AT Cocos Island
BY RICHARD ARCHBOLD.

COCOS ISLAND, June 8 IN. A. N.
A)-The seaplane Cuba landed at
Cocos Island after a ,000-mile flight
from Batavia, Java, yesterday.
Our flight was broken en- route by
a stop at Christmas Island. We plan
to remain here, surveying the Cocos
Islands as the probable site of an
air base on the projected Australia
Africa route. for about three days.
The Cocos group, numbering %
islands, with the entire coral atoll
extending 10 miles, is famed in re-
cent history as the scene of the de-
struction Of the raider Emden dur
ing the World War by the Australian
battleship Sydney.
The islands, a link in the British
Empire, are under the administra-
ton of the Straits Settlement. The
population is 1900 and the main oc-
cupations are operation of cocoanut
plantations and export of copra, oil
and nuts.

KANSAS CITY, June 8.-Charles

JAPANESE FISHING IN BRISTOL
BAY IS STILL DANGEROUS

JUNEAU - Declaring that the
question of Japanese fishing in
Bristol Bay is no closed issue, H. b.
FreiIe, president of the Nakat Pack
ing Company, who arrived in Ju-
neau from the Nakat eannery at Wa
terfall, urged again the passage of
the bill before Congress that would
claim for the United States water in
Bristol Bay of less than 100 fathoms
in an attempt to prevent foreign
fishing off the coast of Alaska.
Because little has been said
about japanese fishing this year, we
have a tendency to allow ourselves
to be Iulled to sleep on the question.
when, as a matter of fact, it has as
sumed more serious proportions than
ever before. Mr.. Friele said.
The cancellation by the United
States of its trade agreement with
Japan threatens to have a serious
effect in Bristol Bay. Without the
trade agreement to observe, the Jap
anese may feel now that there is
nothing to keep them from fishing
in deep waters off the Alaska coast. "
It was Mr.. Friele who first flew
over japanese fishing vessels in Bris-
tol Bay in 1887 and brought back
pictures of foreign operations as
first conclusive proof of Japanese
activities off the coast of Alaska.
To study the habits Of salmon,
conditions of water, tides, temper
ature, two large seine boats under
charter to the Bureau Of Fisheries
have been fishing in Bristol Bay this
summer and while SO engaged are
laying a scientific claim to the off
shore fisheries for the United States
This is to offset any claim the Jap
anese may have made to their rights
to offshore fishing because of the
study their fishermen, scientific and
commercial, had made, Mr.. Friele eX-
planned.

Life Expectancy In United States Gradually Gains

The average length of life of American wage-earners and their dependents is increasing more rap- idly than that of the population in general, according to the statis- ticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company. They base their statement on the record of the company's millions of Indus- trial policyholders practically all Of whom are wage-earnerS or members of wage earners' families.
 Their average length of life rose in 1888 to the all-time high level of 6l.94 years. Tn 1887, the latest year for which comparisons can be made, 1t was 607l years, or only nine months less than that of the general population. In sharp contrast is the record for the years 19ll-19l2, when the wage earner's average length of life was 64l years les sthan that of the population at large.
 And in the course of years," the statisticians say, "this mar gin in favor of the general popu- lation may be expected to disap- pear entirely"
 Tn the 28 years from 1911 through 1888 the insured wage earners and their dependents have increased their expectation of life by 15.3l years, which represents @ gain of practically one-third of the expectation of life at birth of 46.83 years attained in 10il-l012.

SUPERIOR COURT WORK REVIEWED
40 Cases Disposed of During Recent Term,
 Clerk Freeman Says

Superior court in Waterbury dis- posed of a total of 40 cases during the year ending July 1, the annual report of Clerk George H. Freeman discloses today. Of the 40, there were 48 completed by trial, while the remaining 362 were otherwise disposed of.
 There were 2o9 cases disposed of at short calendar sessions, 62 dis- continued, and l01 cases withdrawn.
 As the court year of l038-3o be- gan, there were 4o2 cases carried over from the previous year. 52 of them jury cases and 440 court cases. There were 375 new cases entered, 24 of them claimed for jury trial and 351 for court trial.
 There were 13 jury cases tried and 35 court cases tried, exclusive of matters handled at short calen- dar. There were 457 cases undispos- ed of July 1, with 52 of them being court cases and 4o5 being court cases.
 Court was in session 84 days, ex- elusive of short calendar, with 39 days for jury trials and 46 for court trials.
 The average time from return day to t"ial in court cases was 14h months and in. jury cases 15% months.

you would at the receiving end of a telescope.
 Now the color is a deep orange. At one end is an elliptical, yellow ish area--one of the polar ice caps which grow and diminish with the seasons. Summer is approaching in Mars now, shrinking the northern ice cap, leaving the southern cap predominant.
 A bluish green, elongated patch starts just beyond the ice cap and continues to the equator. There is a smaller patch near the equator. Belief is that these are areas of vegetation. The rest of the planet is probably desert, accounting for the reddish hue.
 Apparently melting ice and snows of the polar caps provide the lone source of water. It seems logical
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-07-18

that moiture from the caps should roll down over the planet, reviving vegetation.
 MAN-MADE?
 CANALS
 But about those canals--some scientists even deny their existence. In 1924, however, astronomers did sight some fine lines, forming 8 sort of network on Mars.
 Because most of these lines do not bend, like a river, but follow rather straight course, the late Percival Lowll contended that they were canals constructed by living beings and used for providing ne- cessary irrigation throughout the planet.
 If there is life on Mars, the in- habitants must be much different than we are. Living conditions would resemble those in our stratos- phere, IS miles above the earth's surface. It's much colder up there; temperature at the equator rarely rises above 50.
 By and large, Mars is still quite Q mystery. That's why science Is so eager for the "visit."

Fairfield and Naugatuck are the only Connecticut communities of more than 10000 population not charged with resident operator involved in a fatal accident during the first six months of 1939 as well as in 1888.
 Our study will be placed in the hands of interested accident preven- ton agencies for their information and guidance in spurring up the traffic accident prevention programs of the various communities of the state."
 Adult pedestrian accidents in- creased during 1899, as compared with 1888, according to the com missioner, five moer adult pedestri- ans being killed during the first half of this year.
 Despite the constant complaints received by the Department of Mo- tor Vehicles concerning dangerous riding of bicycles, one less bicyclist was killed this year than during the first six months of 1888, the comparison being seven for 1888 to six for 1889.
 Other conditions surrounding fatal traffic accidents remain the same as usual. Sunday was the most prolific day, twenty-three being killed on the Sabbath. Thursday, however. reported twenty-one fatals, one more than Saturday which usually is the second highest day. Weather was clear in most instances and road conditions favorable to safe motor vehicle operatoin.

Science Ready To "Shoot" Mars At Close Range (36, ,O3O, 900 Miles)
July 27 Will Find Planet "Near" Earth
By NRA Service

D NRA Service
 Science B aiming it's "heavy artillery" right smack at Mars this rncnth---and waiting. Only the weapons are not cannon, but telescopes. And Mars is not the threatening symbol of war, but the planet.
 Science believes in firing when you see the whites of their eyes, On July 2, Mars will be looking" at the earth from a distance Of no more than 36,o3o,0oo miles. < Astronomically speaking. that's about as far as the house across the street. Mars hasn't come as close since 1924, won't approach as near again for many years. Some- times the planet is 248000, 900 miles distant; was almost that in June, 103e, in fact.
 It all happens like this. Mars and the earth travel about the sun In different orbits at different speeds. Sometimes Mars Is on the other side of the sun from the earth: often it's of at an angle. But, in late July, the earth will be directly between Mars and the sun. CHANGE FOR
 RESEARCH
 Astronomys armies don't plan a military expedition to mars; they just want to look at 1t. They ad- wise the public not to lose sleep over a Martian invasion like that in last years Orson Welles "horror broad east" Tn the first place, they don't sven know whether Mars Is in- hhbited.
 Secondly, although light will travel from Mars to the earth in tos seconds as the worlds approach each other, 1t would take a rocket ship much longer.
