Frankly Speaking
BY PAT FRANK

guised anti-labsr and anti-liberal
legislation, New Dealers charge.
A continuation of the committee,
it is claimed, will place Dies and
his conservative colleagues in
position to continue their sniping
at the New Deal i'm an effOrd to aid
conservatives in their fight for
party control at the 1910 cOnven-
ton.
On his part Dies says any polit-
ical aspect of his investigation has
only been purely incidental and
constitutes proof that he has been
interested only in un-American &C
tivities. He is equally distrustful
of the Federal Governments drive
against subversive elements as
New Dealers are of his. The
Texan has frequently voiced the
allegation that the Government
has failed to cooperate with the
House probe and that it leans over
backward to protect Communists
and other extreme left wingers
from any application of existing
laws.
Dies has taken cogniZance of
the basis of the attack which will
be launched against any legisla-
tive program he will seek to have
enacted by congress and in recent
statements has stressed his avOW-
ed belief that such legislation
should be enacted with scrupulOus
regard for fundamental liberties.
The whole fight will be strictly
an inside affair designed to keep
the House from considering any
part of Dies future program. If
the proposal to continue the COM
mittee gets before the House, the
battle will be lost for the New
Dealers because few congressman
will vote against it in view of the
widespread popularity the probe
group has attained.
The fight over the legislative
program will center i'm House and
Senate committees considering va
riOus legislative phases of it where
a strong effort to substitute an
Administrative program for that
outlined by Dies will be made.

SERUM COMBATS
PNEUMONIA GERMS
State Health Officials Are
Pleased With Results
Obtained

Although the use of serum ther-
apy and the recent development of
new drugs have contributed to
marked reduction in pneumonia
deaths, the neglected common cold
still remains an important contrib
uting factor in seventy-five per cent
of pneumonia cases, William G..
yelling id,rector, Bureau of Vital
Statistics, pointed out in the weekly
broadcast of the State Department
of Health. He advised people with
colds to stay in bed and to call a
physician not only to avert develop
rnent of pneumonia themselves but
to prevent spread of the disease re-
sulting from exposure of others to
their infection.
Besides advising people to keep
away at all times from a person
with a cold, Mr.. yelling recon-
mended other common sense meth
DDS Of prevention which should be
applied particularly during the win
ter. Pneumonia Is more prevalent. In
Connecticut at this time of year
when the weather may be extremely
variable. For this reason it Is impor-
tant to protect the body against the
elements thus helping the human
system to accommodate itself to
these changes. This can be accom-
plished by wearing rubbers during
wet weather and by dressing suita-
bly, for temperature changes, Mr..
yelling said.
While such advice based on COM
mon sense is so infrenquently fol-
lowed that its actual practice be-
comes almost uncommon sense, Mr..
yelling commented, with just bit
of cooperation on the part of every
one tine common cold and pneumo-
mia may be avoided.

DEMOCRATS OPEN
ELECTION FIGHT
Attorney Scully in Radio
Broadcast Tonight
launches Campaign

Plans for q vigorous campaign for
the election Of the entire slate of
Democratic candidates have been
made by party leaders. Reversing
tho trend Of previous years, it has
been decided to begin the campaign
early and keep 1t active up to Mo-
vember IA.
Attorney Vincent A. scully, the
Democratic nominee for mayor, win
open the party's election drive with
radio talk over stations WATR and
WBRY at 7:15 tonight. He will make
. number of other radio talks during
the campaign. Other candidates for
o6flce on the ticket and several prom
inent party leaders will also face the
microphone between now and cleo
ton day.
In the past the Democratic party
has favored q campaign as short. as
possible, and usually has limited its
campaigning to week or 10 days.
But this year, with the election al
most three weeks away, the Demo-
Gratis have already begun their cam
paign.
Mr.. Scully plans to direct the cam
paign personally, having resigned his
city post as corporation counsel in
order to be able to devote his full
time to electioneering. He offered
his resignation Tuesday, the day
after he had been nominated for the
mayoralty.
The Republicans have done no
campaigning thus far, but Socialists
have been active for the past two
weeks. The Socialists hope that,
through an active campaign they can
either win the election or offer
serious threat to the major parties.

It maintains 1000 films in circu-

Two schools are maintained where
