emphatically supporting the tradi-
ton that no man shall be President
more than twice. That resolution
was aimed at Calvin Coolidge whom
progressive Republicans refused to
accept as party leader.
Norris Long ago abandoned this
position to support Mr.. Roosevelt's
denomination and was instrumental
in organizing a national committee
to get out the independent vote for
the Roosevelt-Wallace ticket this
year. Norris said the third term was
secondary to preservation Of DEM
ocracy.
The second third term recruit was
Sen. Willard E. Tydings, D., Nd,
who accompanied Mr.. Roosevelt yes
terday on a national defense nspec-
ton tour of the Aberdeen Md, prov
ing grounds. TydingS refused to say
whether he contemplated speech
soon specifically endorsing the
Roosevelt Wallace ticket. But he told
all Corners that Maryland would go
Democratic this year. His appear
ance with Mr.. Roosevelt was tanta-
mount to endorsement. Two years
q. } the President invaded Maryland
in the so-called 1888 purge and
urged Tyding's constituents to retire
him.
Still to be heard from, among
others, are vice-president John N.
Garner, just returned from his W.
aide, Tex, home, president John L.
Lewis of the Congress of Industrial
Organizations, and Sen. Hiram w.
johnson, R., Calf. Garner is ex-
pected to reject all suggestions that
he endorse the National Democratic
ticket.
Mr.. Roosevelt and Lewis have been
dickering and some persons expect
the CLIO chief to get in line with
many of his top men in support OF
third term. johnson, whose sup
port is anxiously awaited by Wen
dell L. Willkie, Republican presi-
Dental candidate, remains silent but
Republicans have hopes.

gestions that Germany openly has
offered to help Finland in case OF
attack.
With Germany still occupied with
the war on Britain, such assistance
would hardly reach the proportions
Of an Official expedition, 1t was said
here. But it was recalled that Last
winter Sweden helped Finland stave
OF invasion for some months by
sending large quantities Of war
equipment, food, medical supplies
and many volunteers. German and
Swedish help Of a similar character
could do much to stem another Rus
sian attack If it came, observers be-
lieved.
Best informed Swedish circles said
an invasion attempt does not seem
imminent, although Russian troops
along the Finish frontier were re-
ported to be numerous. They be-
neve Russia could not hope to
launch a successful attack for two
or three months when the Finnish

Strike AS Prelude
A delegation from Reidville has
attended practically every meeting
Of the Board of Education since that
body closed their school in June,
but their plea for reconsideration
was always rebuffed. On the 1irst
day of school, strike was staged
in Reidville, the only result of which
was to speed consideration OF a new
sidewalk.
A clash between Mayor Scully and
Anthony DeLuca, of Reidville, de-
veloped almost everytime the two
men faced each other. Last night
was no exception.
Near the close of the meeting,
MIR. DeLuca suddenly spoke up, de-
claring that "for humanity's sake"
the board should reopen the school.
"We're getting the run-around, !"
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1940-10-01

Mr.. DeLuca charged. "The question
is this: VIII you reopen the school,
or will you provide transportation
for all. There Is no other question"
Mayor Scully grew red. wait q
minute" he shouted, shooting a fin
ger In Mr.. DeLuca's direction, and
holding his arm poised above the
head of Thomas p. Ashton, who sat
next to him at the board table.
Verbal Tits
Before the mayor could continue,
however, Mr.. DeLuca cried out that
he was being interrupted. II don't
interrupt you," he said, why should
you interrupt me?"
The mayor replied: That's my
prerogative here"
"Your privilege, you mean"
shouted Mr.. DeLuca, adding, how
ever, "go ahead.
The mayor then said that the
Reidville group was not getting the
run around.
Other temperamental highlights
of the meeting were furnished by the
Reidville women. One asked Mr.
Scully how you would like to walk
in the rain" Another charged SUI
perintendent of Schools Thomas P
Condor was lying to her on the tel
ephone, claiming the Superintend.

Condor said the woman misunder'
stood him over the phone.
Mayor Scully stressed the import

meeting, saying that plans for TN
sidewalks were proceeding well. HI
warned the parents to request then
children to stay off the middle O
the road, remarking that he saw
a group of them galloping on TIT
highway some time ago.
To question regarding final dis
