1cn's immediate enrolment. Many of the more conservative voters spent the Sabbath at the Oak Tree, searching for forgetfulness, hunting for a reason to be glad, or sitting in corner playing "Set Back" which seems to be what democratic government is having the most of right now.
 From the Flat Hill Country came several voters to- be-made. The news is that Flat Hill will be connected with Squeak Street by a new stretch of hard-surfaced highway, come spring. Estimates for a bridge over Flat Hill Brook are already being figured. What traffic will do when that hillside trail is widened and graded re- mains to be seen. The last we heard, John Schielke was plan- ming to put up a soft drink and sandwich stand at Little York, just on the off chance that the detour would be that way.
 
 Looking over the maps and flg- uring hard, it seems that the Lit tie York bypass might be exactly what the doctor ordered. Years ago, Dave Marshall. lived down on that road that hides away in the wild lands northwest of Flat Hill Farm, but he had to give up travel because the town just wouldn't spend a dime on the thoroughfare. The lower end of the old road is badly washed, a few trees have fallen across it, but it might be opened up and with it much more desirable acre. age might be available.
 Last week we read headlines, Burke Outlines Plans of South bury Hospital" and Burke Would Set Aside Room For Southbury Pupils. Smoky Jenson wanted to know who Burke was, and the only man we could think of was 8 for mer cook in Battery c, 77th Field Artillery. Qt's a cinch that Cook Burke wouldn't make any such statement. He knew enough about Connecticut to know that a town the size of SOuthbury couldn't afford a hospital, and if it could, the man to outline" plans for it would bear a Yankee name.
 As for setting aside room for Southbury pupils, Southbury will attend to that when the time comes, and the room set aside will be in an up-to-date consolidated school built by local help on a plot of land that the township now owns. Sand for that school will be screened from a local bank. Cement will he purchased locally. Our own help will be employed.
 Employment is a funny thing. A man we knew bought 8 truck on the promise of work at the new State Training School for Mental Detectives in Pierce Hol- low. He never got to first base. Promises were forgotten. This truckman went to work for . fieighhoring township and again found difficulty. The town next door sent him . check for serv- ices at ten cents per hour less than prevailing rates. The check was returned.
 What our town needs most ls e hard road connecting the Pur. chase IiiIl area with Roxbury. Years ago, Roxbury ran c road straight to the Gouthbury line. our town built hard road around Purchase Hill that circles like a calg running around c hay. stack.

OF his own views toward Russian
Communism, the President said:
More than 20 years ago, while
| most OF you were very young chill
dren, had the utmost sympathy for
the Russian people In the early
days OF Communism I recognized
that many leaders in Russia were
bringing education and better health
and better opportunity to millions
who had been kept in ignorance and
serfdom under the imperial regime
| Il disliked the regimentation under
Communism. I abhorred the indis-
criminate killings of thousands of
innocent victims. I heartily depre-
Gated the Punishment of religion
| though I knew that before long
Russia would return to religion for
the simple reason that four or five
thousands years of recorded history
have proved that mankind has al
ways believed in God in spite of
dozens of abortive attempts to
. exile God.
| I hoped that Russia would work
out its own problems and that their
government would eventually be-
come a peace loving, popular gov
ernment which would not interfere
with the integrity of its neighbors.
Calls Regime Dictatorship.
That hope is today either shat
tered or put away in storage against
a better day. The Soviet Union, as
a matter of practical fact known
to you and known to all the world,
is dictatorship as absolute as any
other dictatorship in the world
1T has allied itself with another
dictatorship and it has invaded a
neighbor so inf1nitesimally small
that it could do no injury to the
Soviet Union, and seeks only to live
at peace as a democracy, and a lib
eral, forward-looking democracy, at

Secretary Hulls comment on

restoration of world peace and what
4 the world will be like then.
He pointed out that for long

to sound and stable international
relationship when peace is restored.

President Pledges Aid
To Victims of Tornado
By the Associated Press.

President Roosevelt telegraphed
Gov. Rivers of Georgia last night a
pledge OF Federal cooperation "to
the fullest possible extent" after re-
ceiving reports that deaths in the
tornado at Albany, Ca, might reach
30, with 500 injured.
His telegram to Gov. Rivers said :.
:! am deeply concerned for the
welfare OF the sufferers in Albanv
and environs and have directed the
Federal Governments agencies tn
cooperate with State and local ALL
thcritles to the fullest possible ex-
tent IN relief measures. Please con-
vey my heartfelt sympathy to all
who suffer and who grieve for the
loss Of loved ones"
The President also wired Francis
Shurling, Georgia director of Gov
ernment reports:
Please extend every assistance
within your power to the stricken
community of Albany and ask Mayor
Haley T. convey to all sufferers
from the tornado my deepest svm-
pathy as their friend and neighbor, !"
Mr.. Shurling sent the report on
the extent of the damage and loss of
life.

I believe the other members of our !,
subcommittee will also do and see
what we can do for improvement.
Representative Rabaut, Democrat,
of Michigan-I will devote special
interest to these institutions and
spend all the time necessary to get
the truth and correct the mistakes
that have been made. The interest
OF Mrs. Roosevelt is most timely and
the fact that the First Lady of the
Land has devoted herself to working

ing our attention 50 earnestly to our
duty to adequately provide for the
aged, infirm and children. Some
one had to pull the institutions out
OF hole. The mistress of the White
House sets a good example, which
am sure will be salutary. We will, I
feel sure fix up these institutions.

papers Of conditions at those insti-
tutions, about the special interest
taken by Mrs. Roosevelt, and have
heard as well as read about her
statement before the District SUBJ
committee. I feel that we all ap-
preciate Mrs. Roosevelts interest,
because it was due to that interest
that such unsatisfactory conditions
were brought to light. The District
is fortunate in having her take such
a strong personal interest in the
municipal affairs. There must be
good grounds for her to become so
active for improvement in those local
institutions.
Careful Study Planned.

publican, of Kansas-Of course the

ences but I am sure that all of the
members will consider it their duty
to make a careful and sympathetic
study of the conditions that are said
to exist. If there is situation that
needs to be corrected, especially as
concerns the care, comfort and
maintenance of the INDECENT aged
and underprivileged children. We
will all have our heart in such an
effort. Whatever funds can be de-
voted to Improvements, within rea-
son, will, am sure, be appropriated
by the subcommittee after study
and with all other demands for
funds given relative consideration.
We will try to do what is right and
for one will give careful study to
the situation.

OF South Dakota-Out of the city.
His Office, however, said that as a
member of the Appropriation Sub
/! committee he has been studying the
statements that have appeared in
the press concerning conditions said
to exist in some of the District in

steps that may be taken to remedy
them.

Blue Plains Needs
Win Sympathy
OF Legislators
But They Won't to Know
Where the Money
Is Coming From
Continued From First Page.)

Haskell, superintendent at Blue
Plains, and Robert Bondy, director
Of public welfare.
The House Subcommittee on Dis
trict Appropriations will not meet
for at least two weeks, members
said.
Following are the comments made
by members of both the Senate and
House Appropriations Subcommit-
tees on the needs Of the institutions
under investigation:
Senator Overton, Democrat, Of
Louisiana. chairman of the Sem
ate Subcommittee on District Ap-
propriations-My reaction to de-
velopments of the past week, and
to the very thorough Investigations
the Senate subcommittee has here
tofore made in reference to the well
fare and other institutions of the
District, is that more money is need
ed to meet demands for necessary
improvements, not only for Blue
Plains and the Receiving Home, but
for other agencies. The problem is
how to get more money. Will the
people of Washington be willing to
pay more taxes, or will the Federal
Government respond more literally
to its obligation toward the main
tenance and improvement of the
Nations Capital? We spend the
money as wisely as we can, and as
far as it will 60. The trouble Is we
haven't enough to meet popular de-
mands.
Senator Glass, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia, chairman of the Appropria-
tions Committee and a member of
the subcommittee-No comment.
Senator Thomas, Democrat, of
Oklahoma, member and former
chairman of subcommittee - The
Commissioners have made up their
estimates, and the budget has rec
commended certain amounts, based
thereon. When we meet we will
have before us the action Of the

world armaments and adoption of
sound and liberal commercial pol
icies as the only means of avoiding
world autarchy and economic total
itarianism, he said.
Points to Past Efforts.
The United States is continuously
preaching these principles in the
hope that every other nation that is
not already doing so gradually will
come to support the same objec-
tives, the Secretary added, 50 that
when the peace conference comes
there will be definite understand
ing and commitments which would
lead to firmer foundation for peace
than the world has ever seen.
Declining to name the countries
already engaged in the talks, Mr..
Hull said he was ready to discuss
the program with anyone interested,
but made it clear that only questions
relating to the postwar period were
under discussion now.
The rowing assignment Mr..
Welles will undertake in Europe Is
more directly concerned With gprss-
ent war conditions and the possibiii !
ties for peace. He will sail next sat-
urday for quick visits to Rome and
the bellgerent capitals ana mahS a
confidential report to the President
and Secretary Hull on his return.
Announcement Of plans for his
trip emphasized he would not be
authorized to make any proposals
in behalf of this Government, but
solely to advise the President and
Secretary of State as to present con-
ditions in Europe.
His report undoubtedly will help
guide any actual peace moves Mr.
Roosevelt may have in mind, along
with reports from regular ENJOYS
abroad. William c. Bullitt, Amer
lean Ambassador to France, who
flew here from Paris last week,
talked with Mr.. Roosevelt. Mr.. Hull
and other State Department officials
yesterday and planned more de-
tailed conversations this week.
To Go to Rome First.
Mr.. Welles will go first to Rome
but has not yet announced the
order in which he will visit the
belligerent capitals or just what Of
f1cials he expects to see. It is pre-
sumed he will see Mussolini and
thus bring closer the relations with
Italy and increase the chances for
a joint Italo-American peace move
in the future.
BY a significant coincidence, Mr..
Welles will arrive in Italy on the
same boat with Myron c. Taylor,
named by the President as his per-
sonal representative to the Vati-
can to facilitate "our parallel en-
deavors for peace"
Indications are that the Presi-
dent and his advisers are not op-
timistic concerning the possibility OF
an early peace and realistically face
the prospect that little can be done
to end the fighting for an indefinite
period.
The long-range program of try
ing to assure firm foundation for
peace when 1t does come will not be
affected by prolongation of the war
however, except as the problems OF
reconstruction are complicated.
Officials dealing with foreign af-
fairs frankly do not want to see q
peace treaty like that which ended
the World War. They realize it
must be broader and less punitive
than the Versailles Treaty. Hence
the far-sighted move to promote the
objectives outlined by Secretary
Hull.

House, and wherever the House cuts,
/ will favor restoration. And II the
city authorities can show the need
for more than the budget allowed,
I'll support them, because they know
the needs better than any one else.
Senator Burke, Democrat, Of Ne
braska-I am always willing to vote
whatever appropriations are neces-
sary to carry out the obligations
Of the Federal Government. I don't
know why there should be deplorable
conditions here. II anything Is
wrong it has not been lack Of ap-
preparations. The situation indi-
Gates the necessity Of placing more
control In local government, and of
reversing the trends toward concen-
tration Of power in the Federal
Government. 1t is striking proof
that the Federal Government never
does the job as thoroughly, because
here under our very noses, things
aren't as they ought to be.
Predicts Full Consideration.
Senator Bankhead, Democrat, of
Alabama-Not available for COM
ment.
Senator OMahoney, Democrat, Of
Wyoming-I am sure the subcom-
mittee will give the fullest consider
alton to these matters when it
meets.
Senator Maloney, Democrat, OF
Connecticut think the conditions
cited recently should be corrected
I was more familiar last year with
the general relief problem than with
the question Of institutional care
but If the latter is inadequately pro-
vided for, am anxious to take ap-
propyiate action.
Senator King, Democrat, of Utah
chairman of the District Legislative
Committee and a member of the
Appropriation Subcommittee-When
the subcommittee meets am sure
any person interested in the matter
will be heard. I have been in many
States and I think they (the insti-
tutions here) measure up to those
elsewhere. Moreover, appropriations
here have increased 100 per cent in
the last 20 years. The Presidents
budget makes the recommendation
The Commissioners have to send
every bill that is reported to Con-
gress to the Budget Bureau first.
Senator Chavez, Democrat, of New
Mexico-The impression I get from
the discussion of these institutions
is that they need some help. Maybe
that's not all, but I think that's the
main thing. I would be in favor of
improving the conditions.
