I'VE need to think of our city in
terms of City Beautiful that will
command our pride. There are so
many things that can be done to
make this more beautiful, a hap

things some of the most important
begin at home. You and I can do
something in our own yard and in
our own neighborhood. We can clean
up our own garden and our own
hallway. There are many things
that the city might do, might be
persuaded to do, if we were inter-
ested to exert the pressure. Why
shouldn't there be a boulevard along
the Naugatuck River? Are there not
other enterprises that might be in
augurated to make this a finer city
and that would cost a great deal

itself is concerned, some expert ma
nipulation is going on, on both sides.
ONE TOO MANY
INVITATIONS ISSUED
The first move was made by the
administration Immediately after
Congress convened, when caucus
of Senate foreign relations commit
tee Democrats was summoned to
discuss the sort of program that
ought to be offered. The caucus was
supposed to be deep, dark secret,
but unfortunately some clerk made
a slight mistake and invited Senator
Bennett Clark of Missouri.
Senator Clark is a Democrat in
good standing, but he is also an
isolationist; the caucus had to be
called off and then re-summoned to
keep the beans from being spilled.
One smart administration move
was the enlisting of Senator James
Byrnes of South Carolina as one
of the principal strategists in the
fight for repeal of the embargo.
Byrnes is popularity credited with
the move which brought Col. Charles
A. Lindbergh back to Washing
ton after Lindbergh's radio speech
had been interpreted as favoring
retention of the embargo. Lindbergh
didn't discuss his speech of his
position in public, but the visit at
least created the impression that
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-10-09

perhaps he wasn't for the embargo
after all.
Another administration move was
the strategem of putting a CASH
and-carry clause into the revised
bill. The administration didn't want
caSh-and carry, originally; as of to-
day, most Of the isolationists do
want it; furthermore, some of the
senators who are prepared to vote
against the embargo don't like
caSh-and-carry.
SUBSTITUTE BILL
HELD PROBf.BLE
Practically all of the isolationists
in the Senate, with the notable ex-
ceptions of Borah and johnson, are
willing to take cash-and-carry if
they can keep the embargo, and it
is probable that a substitutes bill
embodying both features will
presently be offered. Beyond that,
some of the isolationists favor
presenting either a separate bill or
an amendment to the Pittman-
Bloom bill which would clamp an
embargo on all exports to belli-
gerents.
Nevertheless, the administration
maneuver has had some effect. Its
tendency is to submerge the arms
embargo itself, on the argument that
the administration bill really safe
guards American interestes better
than the present low does. That
explains the spirited effort leaders
of the isolationist bloc are making
to keep their forces talking about
the arms embargo to the exclusion
of all else.
Meanwhile, the political lineup
in Washington is vastly confusing.
The conservative Democrats are back
in the fold-temporarily, anyway
and such bitter New Deal critics as
Senators Glass, Byrd, Bailey and
Burke are doing battle for the
President Just incidentally, this
fact has created some concern
among the left-wing New Dealers,
who fear it may presage a new dose
of business appeasement."
Fighting against the President on
the embargo proposition are such
men as Senators LaFollette, Bone,
Overton, Downey and Wheeler, who
have all gone along with the bulk
of the New Deal program. The
Republicans are far from united.
Presidential candidates Vanderberg
and Taft ane on opposite sides of
the fence. If Borah, Nye and john
son are leading Republicans, so are
Austin, Gibson and Hale-who favor
repeal.

Need / add that the dynamic
ideal behind the good city is always

We want vice and gambling stamped
out because we are well aware that
not only are these things fostering
acres in the life of the city generally
but they inevitably result in the de-
bauching of public officials.
There are some of us who believe
that we need a larger unity in all

Typhoid Germs Live
As Long as 7 Years

b. the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, Oct 20.-Typhoid
fever is still a constant menace in
the United States because the germs
which cause it may live as long as
two years without food.
The germs are spread mainly by
water contamination, DR.. Paul j.
Beard of Stanford University. Calf,
told the American Public Health AS
sociation today, and tests have shown
that they are vigorous in resisting
extreme heat, cold and water condi-
tionS
The California scientists exposed
typhoid germs on ordinary soil in
containers to every condition of Cali
fornia weather and to incubation
and refrigeration to test their re-
sistance. They proved to be eXcep-
tionally hardy and resistant bacteria
Fifty per cent of them usually died
within two days. The rest, however,
hung to life tenaciously for as long
as two years, and could still cause
typhoid infection in humand beings
Sunlight kills them quickly, but only
on the surface of the ground, and
rainy weather is particularly favor
able for their survival.
Hazard to Water Supply.
The studies show that infestation
Of the soil on slopes from which
water runs off into reservoirs for
city water supplies forms a real
hazard in the spread of typhoid and
may cause epidemics months or
years later, DR.. Beard declared.
Tomato juice is apparently an ef-
fective addition to the best known
methods Of preventing tooth decay
in young children, DR.. Mark D. Ell
lott Of Boston, Mass, reported to
the association.
Working with Miss Dorothea
Nlcoll of the Massachusetts Depart
ment of Health, he fed small guam
titles OF tomato juice to half of a
group of 81 children in the State
tuberculosis Sanitarium.
IlS oliNo VIII ulQ IlOt receive lie
tomato juice developed five times as
many tooth decay spots as the chill
oren in the protected groups.
TIC test the method, DR.. Elliott re-
versed the feeding of tomato Juice
IN the two groups. At the end of
four months he found that the
group which had been deprived of it
had developed four times as many
decay spots than the ones who had
1t added to their diets
Attributed to Vitamin c.
He attributed each improvement
to the vitamin c in the tomato
juice, the vitamin which other pub
lie health service workers have de-
Clarcd this week to be the one which
makes calcium and phosphorus more
available in the body for the build
ing of teeth and bones.
Food is as important as drugs to-
day in the treatment of disease, Dr..
Morris Ant of Brooklyn. N. Y, told
the nutrition section of the asso-
citation.
Such diseases as high blood pres
sure, asthma, insomnia. jaundice
and headaches are now being treated
effectively with properly regulated
diets instead of drugs, he declared,
