House Majority Leader John w.
Mccormack, in a radio address here
last night, recommended that voters
of the fifth district reflect Con-
gresham j. Joseph Smith. He
praised the Democrats incumbent's
record, citing especially his early
sponsorship of national defense
measures.
Congressman Smith was described
by the house leader as quiet, mod
est and unassuming, truly liberal,
willing and anxious to cooperate
and man of fidelity, diligence and
ability"
Said Congressman Mccormack, in
part:
"As an important member of the
Military Affairs Committee, Con-
gresham Smith gradually impress
sed upon the House his ideas con-
corning our National Defense. The
House learned that your represen-
tative had entered upon his duties
as a Congressman with thorough
background of knowledge Of Mill
tary Affairs and that he had devel-
oped very definite and vary sound
ideas on this subject. 1t became
known that his policy was to keep
the United States at all times in a
state of responsible preparedness.
More important, to keep us at all
times, regardless of International
Affairs, within striking distance a
full and adequate defense. He did
not believe that the United States
should maintain a huge and expen-
might be considered a threat by
other nations. The fundamentals Of
his policy were that we should have
an adequate supply of essential raw
materials, properly equipped and
trained industrial establishment and
an adequate reserve of trained per-
sonnet, especially officers. Such a
policy would not, in peace time,
make the United States threat to
any other nation, but would GER
tainly eliminate the possibility of
any other nation threatening our
own security
impressive AtCOEU
In pussuit of this policy the Con-
gresham from your district has
compiled an impressive record. In
1885 he authored a so-called stock
Pile Bill" which provided for the
purchase and storing of large sup
plies of necessary materials which
might not be available in time OF
war.
Also in 1885 he was the co-author
of the so-called Thomson Bill
which definitely improved the train
ing of Reserve Officers and mater
tally increased our supply of trained
officers.
Perhaps the most important con-
tribution made by Congressman
Smith to our National Defense has
been the Educational Orders Bill
which is known as the Smith Bill
This bill made 1t possible for the
Army to place relatively small orders
with various industrial concerns for
the production of essential war ma
terials. Its purpose was to encourage
these concerns to obtain the neces-
sary machinery and equipment so
that they could promptly swing in
to large scale production in time of
need. 1t Is impossible to exaggerate
the Importance of this achievement.
This bill was introduced in 1887
and passed in 1888, which shows that
it was not an afterthought when a
critical situation had developed but
was part of a long range plan.
In the Congressional Record Of
February II. 1899, tribute is paid
by Congressman Thamson of Texas
to the Importance of this measure.
He said 7 hope the people in New
England and in his district appreC-

have been cleaned up by bug hun

have been seen looking over the

Lyme has some slightly upland and
it should move quickly on this

be seeking a hideaway after No

Our OctagOn house has escaped
the attention of even the WPA
architectural survey of old houses.
The structure is in good shape and
sound. There must be considerable
history behind the building of this
mansion and a little research and
study might uncOrk a good story
down that lane.
Eght-sided houses were popular
only SO long as carpenters knew
how to frame timber with a steel
square. When mass production
and flimsy workmanship struck
the building industry, home own
ers had to be content with an
ordinary four sided dwelling. An
eight-sided house had several dis
tinct advantages, however, and we
should have had more of them.
A woman from Marshfield,

 Among the six round prelims are Babyface Morris of Danbury against 0eorgie Zietz of New York.

 Finals

New York, Feb. 28-(UP)-Bobby Riggs of Chicago, the nations No. l amateur tennis player, meets 8. Ellsworth Davenport of Forest Hills. N. r., today in the quarter final round of the national indoor singles championships.
 Despite two hours of practice for every hour of match play, Riggs has been in difficulties with second rate opponents several times, due, he says, to the difference between in- door and outdoor play. He says the bali comes off the floor like a rocket the lighting is tricky and he has to scramble for shots that that would be set-ups outdoors. He is favored, however, to win the title in his first indoor tournament.
 Tn the other quarter final Marvin Kantrowitz, peppery little Lehign University left handler, clashes with big Frank Froehling, of Chicago: KantroWitz eliminated ElWood Cooke. sixth-ranking player in the nation, early in the tournaments second round.
 In the women's division, the field will be narrowed down to the semi. finals.
