LIONS ROAR, BUT
GAME ENDS Sc

Amid the constant and deafening
roar of Lions, the members of the
local lodge played to a draw yes
terday with their fellow-clubmen
from Torrington at the Bantam
Lake softball grounds. The score
was 6-6, with Patterson and Patter-
son comprising the Torrington bat
terry, and Snyder and Gentle doing
the work for the Waterbury team.
Hostilities were forgotten after the
game, when both sides joined in a
dinner at Botelle's, and each en-
joyed the Lions share.
w. Harry Byrnes, who supervised
the taking of the 1910 cnsus in the
fifth congressional district will be
the speaker at the weekly meeting of
the Waterbury Lions Club at the
Elton tomorrow noon. Mr.. Byrnes
will now be able to reveal to the
club some of the interesting facts
which he discovered during the pro-
cess, but could not make public until
after the completion of the task.

mo BUNS RUSH
FOR CULBERTSON
Opposed To Labor Losing
Out In Name OF Ma
tiOnal Defense

Ely Culbertson, of Ridgefield, ia
nous contract bridge authority,
newspaper columnist and author,
who is seeking the nomination for
congressman-at-large at the Demo-
cratic state convention, said he was
opposed to giving the buns rush
to the working man, in the name
of national defense"
Culbertson said an effort is to be
made by certain groups, under the
pretext that it is necessary in the
national defense, to do away with
the gains that have been made by
labor under the New Deal"
He said he was opposed to such
a move, and if nominated and elect
ed to Congress would fight it al
every turn.
Labor fought for generations,
to get reasonable concessions for
| the working man, and great
progress to this end has been
made under the administration of
President Roosevelt. The election
of 1886 proved that most of the
people in the United States are
strongly in favor of this move
ment. Now, some of those who
must be regarded as the enemies
of labor, want to use the cause
of the national defense, as an
excuse to give the buns rush to
the working man. They want to
nullify and emasculate the Wages
and Hours or Fair Labor Stand
ards act, and the National Labor
Relations act with amendments,
that will rob labor of all it has
won.
81 say that it is not necessary,
in the name of the national de-
tense, nor in the name of maxi
mum production by Americas in
dustrial machine, nor in the
name of fair profits for industry,
to modify or revise or take away
anything that is now guaranteed
to labor under these and Others
acts of the New Deal, and I stand
for strengthening them, rather
| than stripping them"

WILLKIE STILL
| SEEKS TO DEBATE
Again Issues Challenge To
/ President To Get On
Stump With Him
BY WILLIAM II. LAWRENCE

NUnte0 FFeSS St&H OOEECSpOnuCHsJ
Rushville, Ind, Aug. 21.-OP)-
Wendell L. Willkie charged today
that the Roosevelt administrations
defense program was "hopeleSsly in
adequate, delayed and improperly
organized" and challenged Presi-
dent Roosevelt to debate this sub
ject at the scene of some defense
work.
The Republican presidential NOM
inee renewed the challenge OF de-
bate despite Mr.. Roosevelt's state
ment yesterday that his position as
president and the pressure of DOM
este and foreign events precluded
the active campaign which would
result from acceptance of WILKES
challenge.
Willkie said the third term issue
and the challenge of the totalita-
rian forces to the democratic pro-
cesses made 1t essential that Mr..
Roosevelt engaged In public discus
sion Of campaign questions. He said
he offered the suggestion for a de-
Tense debate at the scene of a pres
idential defense inspection so it
would not waste any Of his time"
He suggested last night that Mr..
Roosevelt let national defense ex-
pertS make the defense inspection
trips and that Mr.. Roosevelt him
self devote such time as he now
uses for that purpose to making
democracy work by discussing the
issues in which the American peo-
pie are very much interested"
WiIIkie Statement
He issued the following state
ment:
81 think It would be an appro-
PIRATE thing for Mr.. Roosevelt and
me 10 engage in joint debate on
defense during one of his visits to
defense projects.
81 think I could show conclusive
" that the administration defense
program Is hopelessly inadequate,
delayed, and improperly organized
'Alr. Roosevelt should tell us how
much (armament) is on hand, and
how much on order.
THAT won't waste any Of his
time. He probably would be. making
a speech anyway, and it would just
give me a privilege of making a
speech at the same time and then
each could reply to the other"
Willkie probably will leave Rush
vile by airplane for New York to-
night or tomorrow morning. He had
conferences scheduled today with
John D. Hamilton, executive direc-
tor Of the Republican national
committee, and Dwight Green, Il
hnois G. O. P. gubernatorial NOM
