 LaGuardia said that he had had the policeman planted" because Moreno's brother had written him a letter saying that the two suspects, although they reportedly had con- fessed, had been held an 48-hour af1idavits and that these affidavits had been 'rnysteriouSly dismissed" :" Moreno's brother wrote the mayor that he thought "there was some thing queer about the disInissals.
 O'Dwyer explained the dismissals as follows: the failure to find the third suspect necessitated further investigation. He wanted to have McGowan make this investigation secretly, so he asked the court to dismiss the short affidavits without prejudice to 8 renewal, which the court did.

H1cOck held court at the Town Hall on Tuesday last and 2 large crowd attended.
 Those quintuplets are kittens. We hope the Hicock's have bet ter luck with their kittens than did the city man who brought out a blue ribbon pussy from town. The prize winner damned of over the hills toward civilization after he'd taken one look at this vil- lage; he hasn't been seen since. Getting advertising started to To- cate the puss, making queries about town, beating the brush himself, the city man did his best to locate the feline.
 Smokey Jenson saw the cat- loser over near Skeleton Hollow last week and Smoky figured that perhaps the man figured the puss had joined up with Charley the Fisherman and his dog and pigeon. Charley has twin naascots, you know, and he keeps them busy counting carp.
 Cats are not good bait. They make fiddle strings from cats, and the cheaper neckpieces and fur trimmings are sometimes of cat fur. But we know the city fellows cat didn't go into the fur market because of the color of the beast. You cannot do much with town cat.
 We're probably giving away no secrets because this boy is going back to New York, but a certain kid-on-vacation here has pre- vailed upon Nate Evarts to get him a dozen woodchuck tails to take back home. Nate has entered the woodchuck tail race against time with all the excitement of 8 quest for the Holy Grail Last time we heard, the boy had eleven tails drying in the sun.
 Nate also had an order for a stuffed chipmunk and we'll bet that he delivers on time and in good quality.
 The other day, some naturalist claims he saw an otter family playing in Warren. They play all the time down here. Ottefs are supposed to play. If they don't play there's something radically wrong with them and they should imIne- diateIy be investigated. We never knew a well otter to refuse to play the only trouble with them is they seem to play rough.
 Otter usually cut, Charley the Fisherman's nets to ribbons when he has a good catch. They play tricks on Nate Evarts, (sonae- times), and spring his muskrat traps with a stick, just to tease him. And, every now and then, some otter gets careless and grabs too close to one of Mates old-style Ira Hawkins steel traps; then Nate has an otter pelt to sell.
 There's nothing especially rare about otter. We have more of them here than you'd believe. Hesky Meadow, Paradise, the Housatenic, and the shepaug are good otter teKFiteFy. Warren may have made discovery but we'll bet .

Senator Maloney, who does not have wholly united party behind, aim, should be offering thanks these days that the Republicans are split as far as MT Cornell is concerned. Even should Cornell be nominated (and he is still far in the lead) some of the criticism from within his own party is bound to stick and react to the advantage of the Demo- crats during the campaign,
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-09-07

Some of the most aStute leaders in Republican ranks hold to the first view, that Cornell would be strong and would win. Others, equally astute, shrug their shoul- ders and say of his nomination, It'd be suicide"

Turning to the local Democratic situation, we find Mayor Scully and his administration promising strict neutrality in the 18th dis triet fight but actively and openly backing Attorney Mike Blansfield against Senator George Culhane in the 18th district. The contests fer the senatorial nominations in the two districts brought Mayor Scully face to face with the me- cegsity of making decisions whose results will go far beyond the pri- ms,TieS.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-09-07

The Cornell group, centered largely in Litchfield County, is cer- tain that the Washington resident would sweep the state if nOmi- mated. They argue that Cornell is already favorably known, that he is a clean-cut prepOssessing cam paigner, that his clOseness to the Republican national leadership will be a help, and that he has every qualification necessary to win a place in the senate. They offer him as an outstanding ex- ample of the new Republican ism" proclaimed two years ago by Gov. Baldwin and his sponsors.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-09-07

It's a very dieffrent story on the anti-Cornell side. Here you'll hear that Cornell is just another New Yorker sticking his nose in," that the fact he has lived in the state only six years will cost him many normal Republican votes on the "carpetbagger" count, that his key note speech before the state con- vention two years ago was aud, and that he would be a set-up for Maloney.

Politics s-in-
 Passing
BY RAYMOND J. FITZPATRICK

The Strangest part of the dispute over whether or not Paul Cornell should be given the Republican nomination TOT U. S. Senator is the way in which the experts within the party disagree over his chances against the incumbent Democrat, Senator Francis T. Maloney. De- pending on which side is speaking, you're told that Cornell is either sure winner, should he run in November, or that he has no chance at all and that the convention would be crazy to name him.

the 18th is briefly this: That in the 18th, the two leading contenders Senator Edward Egan and ex=Sen- ator Joseph Lawlor, are both reg nlar" Democrats, who would CO., operate with the city administra- ton in their work at Hartford; but that in the 18th. the fight is be- tween regular" Democrat, Attor- ney Blansf1eld, and an "anti' Democrat, Senator Culhane.
 Many Democrats dispute the
 mayors argument, and claim that
 he should have either made an endorsement in both districts or made no endorsement at all. Sen- sator Culhane's friends declare xthat the administration is show ing prejudice" against Culhane,
 but Mayor Scully stOutly denies this allegation. 'The situations in the two districts" he says, "are
 entirely different"
 O4 UIlc UldyO1 hope to make capital out of his en- dorsement of Blansfield against Culhane, claiming that it will boomerang. They compare the Blansf1eld endorsement to the one given eX-Gov. Wilbur L. Cross ir his futile fight against Commis- sioner Bob Hurley for the guber- tlatorial nomination.
 \.
 Mayor Scully, however, remains apparently undisturbed, and is ready to go ahead with his plan to lend MT. Blansfield all possible aid against Senator Culhane, while ntaking no sides between MT. Egan and MT. Lawl0r.
 E In speculation about the 18th dis trict, it should not be forgotten that there is third candidate, William @Tipper" Conley. His strength is still an unknown factor but it must De remembered that in a three sided primary almost anything can happen.
 Republican leaders say that the choice of a congressional can- didate in this district depends on akwhat happens at the state con- .ventiOn. .. A surprise candidate sfOr the G. o. P. nomination for aprObate judge may soon enter the field. In the race now are Attor- neys Maurice Wrenn, George

 lican.
 The problem facing local Demo- cratic candidates these days is raiS. ing the money for the deposits that must be posted with states of dele- gates next Saturday. The candidates for senator in the 18th district must each put up S525: those in the 18th must each post e276. Whatever re- 1naius after primary expenses have been paid will be returned.

Peoples Plan No. | Wins
Commission Hearing

Peoples Plan No. l, providing for minimum ade-
quate transportation for Prince Georges County
dents is scheduled for hearings before Maryland
Public Service Comm ssion Nay -, 1910.
This notable victory is reported by the chairman
of the Greenbelt Citizens Association Transporao
Comm who is of the two delegates represent
ing the Assoa ton the Joint Comm ttee for
portation for Prince Georges County.
At the hearing Tuesday, April 30, 1910, before the
Public Service Comm ssion, R. T. ". Duke of Rogers
Heights, spokesman for the group representing the
Joint Committee, moved that consideration of the
transit comanys proposal to abandon serc between
Peop1e's Plan No. could be given a hearing. In
further support of the Committees contenti on, it
pointed out that petition requesting such
ing had been forwarded the ssion September
q, 1899.
The motion of the Committee held to be reason
able by the Comm ssion which thereupon postponed the
transit company's proposal until May -, to follow
hearing the Peoples Plan.
The proposal of the Capital Transit Company to
abandon service this line at College Park would
have the effect of shortening the Ind Maryland
zone viii oh is established the distance from
Rverdale to Branchville. Also, under Peoples Plan
No. l, that part of this line extending to Beruyn
would be integral section of through bus line
from Greenbelt into Washington.
Counsel for the transit company protested the
postponemen of hearing the proposal to abandon,
stating that such action not justified by inter-
lection of th "new and novel" plan. In reply the
Comm spokesman pointed out that the company has
been in posse of map and full information
garding the plan since August, 1899, at which time
negotiations in progress to solve the trans
portation problem in the County.

sunless you have hankering to discover

grown in the garden. No matter how small the garden
there should be few plants. The Marglobe and Stone
are standard intermediate and late varieties and
don't think you wrong by selecting either
riety for your garden.
A very good and recognized method of growing to-
matoes in the home garden by pruning suckering
the plants to single stem, at most to two STEMS
and tying them to stakes. By doing, the plants
be set close two feet apart in each direc-
tion thereby conserving garden space for other
crops. Tomatoes tied to stakes much easier to
cultivate and the fruit is cleaner because it is
kept off the ground, and out of the reach of that
Wen-knom animal that caused me to have three

that the fruit Will ipen earlier when the plants
suckered and tied to stakes. Any stakes poles
that are one and one half inches in diameter and
four to five feet long should serve the purpose.
TO sucker prne your tomatoes authority in the
Department of Agriculture has this to say. Pinch
the side shoots as they appear in the axi1 of the
leaf; that is, where it joins the main stem. The
fruit clusters appear the opposite side of the
stem where there is no leaf. AS a suggestion, any
old cotton goods jute string is sui table for t

round the stake in such manner that it wi IL not
