The books of Bertrand Russell, who was busted from the City Col lege of New York by a supreme court decision Saturday, are not in demand at the Bronson Library here, it was learned today.
 Believing human nature un- changeable since Adam and Eve, the reporter called at the library expecting that Russell's writings would be in the greatest demand since the author became the prin- cipal in one of the most notorious educational controversies in rec ent times.
 The library said, however. that they have five or six of his books, including those which caused his his busting from City College of New York, but so far no one has asked for them. The library ex- pressed the opinion, however, that inquiries about the books would come in soon.
 Protests Start
 Appointment of Russell to the faculty of City College was immed- lately followed by a great outcry. Bishop William T. Manning, of New York being one of the leaders to oust Russell on the grounds that his life and works were sal- acious, immoral, libidinous and other adjectives.
 A Brooklyn housewife, who called herself the figurehead in
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-04-01

the batle to oust Russell, brought suit and won it, the supreme court ruling that among other things, the appointment of Rus sell would establish a chair of in- decency in New York City College.
 Among the books which the Bronson library has is Marriage and Morals" excerpts of which were used to prove Russell unfit to teach at the college. Other books obtainable here are Con quest of Happiness" and Why Men Fight"
 Russell, an English Earle, and now professor at the University of California, in an interview yester- day described the situation as "all in days work"
 ReprOves Bishop
 He reproved Bishop Manning with the following statement:
 T am not interested in sex as is Bishop Manning, who is greatly concerned with it. Sex is only a small part of what I have written. Bishop Manning and his suppor- ters have noticed only this part. They don't notice that almost all of my writing has been on other subjects"
 Russell is, in fact, described as one of the greatest mathematic- ians of our day. He was appointed to teach Philosophy and Logic at the City College.

|CITY ENGINEER
 FILES REPORT
Progress" to Be An= nOunced at Meeting of
 Board of Aldermen

City Engineer Charles A. Root, instructed by the board of aldermen a month ago to supply information on the status of the proposed new Baldwin street bridge, will submit report of progress" tonight, The Democrat learned today. The city engineer will state that comple- tion of actual plans for the new structure depends on the board of works.
 MT. Root will recommend that plans be made to hold the public hearings necessary before changes ir the layout and grade at both sizes of the new bridge can be made. It is planned to raise the street from its present level.
 The aldermen voted unanimously early in March to have the city en- gineer report on the status of the bridge plans. The vote was taken after Alderman Burton H. Walker, Republican, had charged that the bridge in its present condition is unsafe, offering a hazard to private cars and trucks as well as busses.
 MT. Walkers claims were later denied by Mayor Scully and others, who contended that repairs made last fall hal insured the safety of the bridge. MT. Root said that signs on the bridge, limiting loads to 10 tons, had been placed there by the street department without his knowledge, and were not at all me- cessary.
 Construction of the new bridge will cost an estimated $65, 900.

not like a great nation with the wealth and the potential strength to look out for ourselves.
 There is too little of the strong. heartfelt By Heaven, he'll never lick us" talk and too much of the "intellectual" attitude which always glories in painting the worst possi- ble picture and calling it facing facts"
 Well, let's cut it out. WHY SCARE
 OURSELVES?
 Let's leave the America hasn't a chance" attitude to the Nazi propagandists who thought 1t up. It is more natural when it comes from them.
 Let's quit the glooming. All our talk accomplishes is to get us scared and doubting.
 Right now America and Ameri- cans need to play the role of the strong, silent man who doesn't have much to say but who leaves no one in doubt that he will take good care of himself in any kind of trouble.
 We're foolish to sit around soaring each other-like kid who deliberate ly turn the lights low and scare themselves to death with ghost stories.
