You And Your Nations Affairs THE IVA, A DEMONSTRATION IN SOCIALISM
 GUS w. DYER
 Socaigy Vanderbilt University

pleX business can never be operated successfully under political direction. The American theory is that the best general welfare and the great est social and industrial progress come from the private ownership and operation of business, under constitutional judicial regulation. Hence, the American theory and the socialistic theory are antagonistic to each other. No sort of fusion be- tween the two theories is possible.
 Whoever believes in, subscribes to- and is the advocate of the theory that general government ownership should be substituted for the American constitutional system of industrial freedom is hostile to the American constitutional system.
 The Constitution, interpreted by constitutional judges-not puppets is hostile to socialism and con- munism, the invincible defense against all attempts from without or within to overthrow the American system of industrial freedom. The achievement of the New Deal in circumventing subverting, and re- pudiating constitutional authority in putting the federal government in the electric power business by the ruse of indirection was a great vic- tory for state socialism. It destroyed the "invincible authority" of the Constitution, and opened the road for socialism or communism by sim pie legislative action.
 With constitutional authority de- stroyed, the next step was to give a big fake demonstration of the al- legged superiority of government ownership over American free en- terprise and industrial freedom. The IVA was selected as the demonstra- ton to convince the easily led unin- formed masses that they can get cheaper and more satisfactory ser vice under government ownership than they can hope to get under the American constitutional system.
 There were 4,OO0 municipal gov ernment owned electric plants eS- tablished between 1882 and 1930. These did not impress the public. Since they could not hide the cost and charge it up to the taxpayers, 2,OO0 of these plants went out of business in competition with private ly owned plants, and those remain ing did only fraction of the elec- trio power business. But the IVA was a new type of demonstration. Under the IVA the rel cost could be hidden by charging over a hum dred million dollars of the cost to the noble constitutional activity of stirring up sand in the Tennessee River, and solving the problems of occasional overhows by putting the land permanently under water. With the price kept down by this ruse the people can be misled into think ing that the government can provide all services cheaper than they can
 be provided under the American system of enterprise.
 The attitude of Congressmen, who under oath to uphold the Constitu- tion, have appropriated a half bill lion dollars for a demonstration, the purpose of which is to overthrow the American constitutional system is difficult to explain.

Stonington, Conn.,, April 26 - (U. PD - A special auditor was exam ming the town budget today after First Selectman R. Peres Wheeler notified the State Welfare Depart ment the community was in "a very serious condition" because all relief funds had been exhausted.
 The state department was told the community could not pay $900 owed the state for widows aid and an ad- ditional $500 which the state paid for care of Stonington persons dur ing the last quarter of 1889.

COIOrful Harness Race Characters At Cherry Park

Several of the most colorful and prominent personages of the har- ness horse racing fraternity are to attend and take part in one manner or another the two-day meeting of the trotters and pacers to be held in conjunction with the three-day fair at Cherry Park, Avon, Thurs day, Friday and Saturday, Septem- Der 26, 27 and 28. The racing dates are the 26th and 27th, when purses totaling upwards of $1,800 will be awarded.
 The judges vii lbe Colonel Mich ael w. Delaney of Hartford, John Collins of Forestville and John OMalley of West Suffield, all of whom have a wide acquaintance in harness horse circles. Colonel Mike" Delaney, colorful old-time promoter and owner, is especially widely known. Back 10 and more years ago, he operated Cherry Park and raised it to great heights for a half-mile, country track, present. ing fabulous purses and conducting cards on which unbelievably large sums were wagered. The sky was really the limit as the golden flow poured into the quaint little racing plant in pastoral Avon. Since the revival of the game at Cherry Park, Colonel Delaney has taken an active interest in the progress being made under the new regime and is always an avid spectator.
 Of the other two judges, John Collins is a former owner and racer in the central Connecticut area. while John O'Malley is owner of the fleet Volo Mae, by Peter Volo, which has the impressive record of 2.04 2-5. Volo Mae is now in training at Cherry Park.
 Among the many experts drivers to compete in the Cherry Park events will be Frank l.. Wiswall of Lou donville, N. Y, executive vice-presi- dent of the United States Trotting Association. Several of the horses in his. Locust farm stable are being shipped to Cherry Park for the two- days of racing and he will drive them.
 Automobile stunting, large mid- day, vaudeville and revue and all types of exhibits and contests will alsobefeature d viattaoinhrdsluup also be featured at the fair.

CAIRNS ASSURED OF
 BATTING GROWN

New York, Sept. q - (UP) = Deb Garms, Pittsburgh's third base man, today loomed as an almost cer- tain winner of the National League batting title as a result of the dis closure that there is no rule in the senior circuit requiring the batting champion to have 400 official times at bat. The fact that the American League has such a rule led to the assumption the National League also required it's batting champion to re- cord 400 times at bat, figure Garms cannot reach w<sn only II games left to play.
 Garn,S, whose lifetime major league batting average is .293, has a 54 point lead over his nearest rival, Stanley Hack, of the Cubs, accord ing to the averages through games of Thursday, The Pittsburgh infield- CT has played in 93 games and been at bat 326 times for. an average of BIT. Hack, with 1923, has a hopeless job on his hands in trying to over take Garms with only eight days of action remaining.
 Joe DiMaggio, of the Yankees, moved into the American League batting lead despite muscle injury that put him on the shelf. Di Mag gio added seven points so his aver age, bringing him up to .351. Rip Radcliff, Browns. gained one point to move up to .346 but lost his lead.

|CHALLEDON EVEN MONEY TO BEAT
 'GANSETT FIELD
Maryland Colt Goes After Rich Prize Today; Hash
 Second Choice
BY JACK GUENTHER United Press Stoff Correspondent

lUniCed Press StOM COrreSpOndent)
 Pawtucket, R. T., Sept. 21-CUP)- Challedon carried his bright red and yellow silks back into New England today in a triple-ply attempt to score a second straight triumph in the Narragansett Speciai, tighten his grip on the 194O handicap cham pionship and skip up to sixth posi- tion among the great money win ming horses of all time.
 The husky Maryland bred colt was, rated an even money choice on the early line at Narraganset park as the vanguard of a crowd ex- pected to reach 40,O00 moved in to see him try to break tre jinx that they never repeat in New England" and move into a commanding posi- toin in his division for the second consecutive season.
 Challedon, already winner of $297, : 260 and No. thoroughbred on the listing of the worlds greats, faced 10 rivals in his quest for the purse which approomixated $28,00O. The track was fast for the seventh re- newal of the mile and three six teenthS fixture, one of the two last major hnadicapS on the eastern schedule this season
 Hash to Beat
 The opposition was headed by the Greentree stables Hash, who came in eight pounds lower than Challedon at 122 pounds. A fast but eccentric horse with remarkable speed when he wants to run, Hash was generally considered the horse Challedon had to beat. The rest of the field included runners of wide ly assorted abilities.
 The best of them appeared to be Gilded Knight, 110, who was a trifle short on his only start this sea- son; Viscounty, good campaigner in California and the middle west, 116; Dit, three-year-old, 107; and Honey Cloud, who lost prestige when he was beaten earlier in the week, 112.
 The others were Sun Dodger, 102; ouAAAAS 0tcIS AAz, ouoAy 1A.s 4VV Counterpoise, 107 and Yale O Nine. 1O6. There was some local backing for Burning Star, who is attempting a comeback, but the others were out. siderS and their prices were high.
 Challedon drew the inside post position and was handled by Jockey Georgie Woolf. The start was his first since owner William L. Brann and trainer Lou Schaefer parted company and Don Cameron took the four-year-old in hand. Hash had stall No. and Eddie Arcaro while Gilded Knight, one fthe best three-year-olds of 1889, had stall ten and Johnny Gilbert.
 The track has been fast all week but not even last minute rains would greatly affect the odds as the favor ties of the crowd can run on any kind of surface.
 Post time of the special was set for D. m.
