HICKEY NAMES
TWO LOCAL MEN
Roach and Cavanaugh on
County Com. to Fight
Subsersive Activities

Police Supt. William ]. Roach
and Fire Chief Thomas F. Cav
anaugh have been appointed by
Consr. Edward Hickey, of the state
police, to the New Haven county
committee to combat subversive
activities.
Eight committees, representing
eight counties, have been appointed
by the police commissioner as CO.
ordinating groups in a closely-knit
plan for fighting subversive elements
in the state.
Besides these county groups, Col.
Hickey has organized liasons with
public utility officials, water, gas,
and electric. Railroad police also
form links in the chain of enforce
ment.
The menace Of suspicious pack
ages is being met by the appoint
ment of two explosive experts who
will be on call within the state.
BY the first of August, the police
commissioner hopes to have the
police belt functioning smoothly
throughout Connecticut.

mobile keys in his pockets were
blackened. Mr.. Alees suffered mi

Others who felt the shock de-
clined medical attention and the
company scattered under the di-
rection of Capt. Robert s. Nourse
of the Twenty sixth Infantry to
reduce the danger.
II felt as if I had been hit by
baseball bat," said Captain Nourse.
Another officer who was stun
ned was Major Frederick Undritz,
who was in charge of the range.
He had just given the order to
cease firing and to pull the targets
down when the bolt came.
The storm spoiled an otherwise
fine day. In the morning the 300
lawyers and farmers, bankers and
tradesmen of the Training Bat
talon bestowed the closing hon
ors on the 286 young college men
Of the Reserve Officers Training
Corps, who completed their month

Hay Fever!
Season of Sneezes,
Blooming Noses to
Be ''In High"
Within Two
Weeks.

Millions of Americans look with
dread upon the approaching hay
fever season - a season Of sneezeS
wet eyes and blooming noses. In
the peak period, August to frost,
the glamorous movie star can
match sneeze for sneeze and driz-
zle for drizzle with the wayside
tramp.
Treatment has advanced in re-
cent years, say medical experts at
Battle Greek Sanitariu1n. Response
to treatment has been gratifying.
Victims who cannot seek out
lands of partial immunity have in
creased the roll Of sanitarium
patients.
Called rose cold, summer ca
tarrh, and pollen catarrh by some,
hay fever is no respecter of age,
sex or social position. City
jewellers are said to be the great
est sufferers.
Daniel Webster, who endured
severe attacks yearly, called it a
depressing and discouraging" dis
ease. Other great and near
great have used more picturesque
language in describing the malady.
Public misconception is wide
spread. Many think the 125 pol
len-shedding species OF goldenrod
are the only plants bringing on
attack. But the experts say the
homely dust-covered ragweed that
grows in backyards, by roadsides,
and along sidewalk edges causes
some IS percent of the late sum-
mer hay fever attacks east of the
Rockies. Other villains: timothy
grass, corn, cockleburs, thistles,
sagebruSh, sunflowers and vari-
GUS trees. In fact, early spring
hay fever is stated to be caused in
most instances by the pollen Of
trees; in a few instances by dan
delions. Generally speaking, late
spring and summer hay fever is
caused by the pollen of grasses;
late summer and fall hay fever by
the pollen of certain weeds. In
the south the pollinating season
of grasses averages somewhat
longer than in the north.
Medical records show that the
hay fever cavalcade begins NOV
ing toward places of treatment in
July and swells to full force by
mid-August.

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, July 25.-(UP)-
President Roosevelt and Secretary
of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace
confer today on campaign strategy
amidst signs that the anti-third
term Democratic bolt is of to a slow
start.
Mr.. Roosevelt and Wallace return
to the capital this morning after
short vacations. 1t will be their
first meeting since they were nom
mated to be the Democratic party's
standard bearers in this years presi-
Dental campaign.
The outline of the New Deals
drive to elect Mr.. Roosevelt for a
third term probably will be evolved
at today's meeting. 1t also was ex-
pected that arrangements will be
made soon to send Wallace on an
intensive stumping tour of key
states, since the president has said
that he would spend most of his
time between now and the Novem-
Der election in Washington and
Hyde Park.
The anti-third term bolt and the
strategy to be used against it also
will be an important subject of the
Wallace Roosevelt conference. The
so-called bolt still is only potential
one, but its extent and intensity
cannot be determined either way
until this presidential campaign
really gets going sometime after
September /.
No Real Bolt Yet
If there is to be q major bolt
that facts is not yet evident. More
conservative Democrats here have
announced that they would support
the Roosevelt Wallace ticket than
have said they would take walk.
But the possibilities Of a fairly
extensive political sit down are
much greater than are the prospects
of a substantial bolt. Even the sit
down cannot be called at this time
more than a potentiality. The facts
are that a number of Democratic
members of congress, obviously in
Guiding those against whom Mr.
Roosevelt directed his 1888 purge
are unhappy and ripening for pro-
test if the political climate remains
unchanged.
When the campaign gets into its
swing evidence will accumulate in
the states of such Democratic sena-
tors as Van Mugs, Ind, Tydings
Md, Clark, Mo-, McCarran, New.
Gillette, Ia, Wheeler, Mont, Byrd
and Glass, Va, Bailey, N. G. - to
name some standouts.
If those men are whooping it
up for the Roosevelt Wallace ticket
as well as for the Democratic states
in their own states, there will be
no sit down strike against a thiro
term. If they are refusing to say
kind words for the president ane
his running mate or if they arr
refusing to accept speaking assign.
ments outside their own states II
behalf of the national ticket, it viii
be fair to assume that the Sitdowr
is on.

Although Mr.. Allen, who spent
80 years in the teaching profession
here and was the guiding spirit in
the development of high school

was highly praised by prominent

the campaign Is well under way,
Farley will have retired from the
cabinet and from the national come
mittee Craftsmanship. But he still
will be chairman Of the New York
state Democratic committee and, In
that capacity, committed to support
the Democratic ticket from president
down - and there is no doubt that
he will do so.
The question is how muh ems
phasis Farley will place on Mr..
Roosevelt and Wallace who must
carry New York. time, probably, II
they are to be elected. And equally
interesting is the matter Of Massa-
chusetts where the Catholic vote Is
large and important. For Farley
to make couple Of whoop-it-up-
for Roosevelt speeches in that state
would help the Democratic ticket q
great deal.
The so-called ''bolt" so far does
not amount to muh. A meeting Of
Jeffersonian Democrats scheduled
for today in Chicago had been post
poned. The Jeffersonians met In
Detroit four years ago to oppose Mr..
Roosevelt's second reelection and
accomplished nothing discernible to
the naked eye or even to statisti-
clan who might examine the Mo-
Vember, 1896, vote returns.
But a bolt of some degree is as
sured. A little bolt is almost i1-
evitable in any campaign year re-
gardless Of who Is nominated and
only events will determine whether
1910 shall see q big bolt such as that
of 1928 when southern Democrats
and others preferred Herbert G.

"It seems to me that the name
should be left" the commissioner
said. after all Mr.. Allen, who was
