WATERBURY IS
 NAMED IN STORM
New York Story Relates Some of Conditions in
 This City

New York, March 4.-CUP)-A storm that left Eastern Seaboard States under glaze of ice, isolated many scattered villages and caused the greatest property damage since the hurricane of 1888 centered its force on New England today.
 New England weather forcasters warned local authorities to prepare for the worst as the storm, moving Northeastward, swept up through Connecticut.
 Waterbury, Conn.,, a city of 107 ,0O0 was left without light and power and a single feed line, sufficient only to supply the city's two hospi- tals, brought current from nearby Thomaston. The Connecticut Light & Power Company reported almost every municipality in the state had suffered. A completa breakdown was experienced for a brief period at Torrington, Greenwich, Norwalk Seymour, New Milford, Danbury Beacon Falls, Harwinton, Goshen and other areas in the Western sec- tion of the state.
 The storm struck over wide area, reaching from Canada to lower New Jersey.

But one point is made clear by a survey-books are in about twice as much demand after they have been translated into a movie than before.
 Ten days after the movie, Gone With the Wind," was released, the publishers sold 350,000 copies of special movie edition. Tn six weeks they had exhausted three printings, or 1,000,050 copies. Margaret Nit chell's novel, of course, is the classic example, yet it was the nations most popular novel for two years after publication and long before the movie appeared.
 Grapes of Wrath" Revived
 John Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath" is only a few weeks old in celluloid form. Already the demand for the book has been mounting steadily. Said Robert l.. Hatch, of Viking Press:
 1T don't know the ultimate effect the film will have on this ook, but the immediate effect is certainly stimulating"
 Waiting lists of public libraries are reported growing. Recently one library disclosed that 2,465 readers had signed up to wait their turn for "The Grapes of Wrath"
 Even "The Good Earth" long of the best-seller list after 1t was made into, a movie, was revived by the Hollywood touch.
 One of the largest circulating libraries in New York, admits that the movies are recreating interests in books that might have long since been forgotten.
 "Thin Man" Started It
 The No. examples was ''The Thin Man." by Dashiell Hammett, pub- lished in 1884.
 The book had a tter-than-av- craze reception when 1t was first released. After a few months, the sales began to drop. Later, when 1t was filmed, the sales skyrocketed. The movie public saw William Powell as "The Thin Man." liked

Revamp railroad debt.

of the unemployed during the past 10 years. No country is rich enough to support 25 per cent of its peo- pie while robbing itself of their productive power"
 La Toilette cites the railroads as an example. Their personnel and management are good, he feels. But they are plastered with an over- layer of debt.
 He would have a law empower ing an appropriate federal court to revamp this debt structure, laying aside old debts so that new money could flow in. Then the whole rail- road plant could be modernized. We have been too anxious to pre- serve the debt structure of the past" he says. we forget that we must create new debt structures if we are to move forward"
 He believes in the profit motive, but that it must be harnessed to social end. Through a central bank of issue, and by means of debt readjustment and incentive legisla- tion, he woull free up the flow of new money into industry, and thus break the log-jam of depression.

CHRISTIANS MUST
 CURE WORLD EVILS
Rev. Charles E. COughlin So Advises Hearers in
 His Sermon

Detroit, March 4-(UP)-The Rev Charles E. Coughlin said in his Sum- day sermon that Christians must cure the worlds evils to guarc against insurgence of a dress suit Communism supporting a material istac religion.
 He asked his audience to "resolvt to bring about security, flnancia liberty, peace and prosperity under the scepter of the real lord of the world, Jesus Christ" to prevent pro- pagandiSts from gaining converts tc a religion of worship of maternity and paternity, life and food.
 Tt is time that we recognize that Communism is in the state of tram sition," father Coughlin said. Com munism is dofflng the overalls ot persecution, of massacre, of confis- cation. It is preparing to vest itself in the evening clothes of tolerance of humanitarianism."
 He intimated that unless Chris tianity "does not rise in protest against "injustices touching upon the economic and social life" nc force could check the dress suit Communism, whose object is tc abolish these injustices."

 Only three members of Congress now bear the Progressive" label, all from Wisconsin. They are Senator Bob La Toilette, brother of Phil, and CongreSsmen Merlin Hull and Ber- nard J. Gehrmann.

Roosevelt has been well-intentioned and he is skillful and admirable politician, but the conservative wing of his party draws back as soon as he attempts anything fundamental. And of course the Republicans have no answer at all.
