Waterbury Lawyers Name to Be Submitted for Su.
 periOr Court Post
(By Democrat Legislative RspOEter)

CBy Democrat Legislative Reporter)
 State Capitol, Hartford, May l7- The name of Attorney Richardson Bronson of the waterbury firm of Bronson, Lewis, Bronson and Up. son, will be one of those submitted by the Republican leadership to Governor Robert A. Hurley for ap- pointment to the superior court bench, according to reports here. The COP. is preparing Q new list for submission to the governor, who declared yesterday that the only names thus far offered to him were those of Senate Minority Leader William J. Shea of Manchester and House Majority Leader William M. Hadden of Orange.
 Two of the four vacancies that will come up during the governors present term have been filled by nomination of Tax Commissioner Charles J. Mclaughlin and Execu- tive Secretary James E. Murphy. One of the other two posts Is slated for Republican.
 Should Attorney Bronsor's name be sent in, 1t would be an apppoint- rnent not for Waterbury and New Haven, but rather for Litchfield County. Attorney Bronson, though his office is in Waterbury, makes his home in Watertown, over the county line. One of his law part ners, former Republican Town Chairman J. Warren Upson, iS now acting clerk of the court of con1- mon pleas for the Waterbury dis- trict.
 The governors statement that the only Republican names offered him were those Of Messrs, Shea and Had- den occasioned considerable Sur- prise. It had been believed that on the list submitted by the Republi- cans were State Chairman J. Ken- meth Bradley, ex- Governor Raymond E. Baldwin and Howard Alcorn, son of States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn, ST., and brother of House Speaker Hugh M. Alcorn, Jr.
 Governor Hurley is said to have taken up for consideration, on his own initiative, the name of Alter. ney General Francis A. Pallotti. Judge Pallotti Is not on too friendly terms with the present leadership of the Republican state organization but he has many friends and politi- cal packers in all parts Of the state, {
 Action on the nomination may be taken next week, but there are hints that 1t may be delayed until close to adjournment day June 4

 Senators Claude Pepper, D., Flor ida, and Josh Lee, D., Okla, both strong pro.Roosevelt men who urge more active aid to Britain. have been calling Dakar 6 gun aimed at South America" and have been talking of seizure.
 Reynolds said Dakar "has been brought to the front because some people are interested in c place to land troops"
 ITO consider the forceful taking of Dakar, we would be fighting our way into c war, and I'm absolutely opposed to our Involvement" he said. "rf we start soizlng property in other parts Of tho world, out side our own sphere, we are doing the very thing we are objeeting to. We are greatly concerned over subVorSive activities in Central and South America. Wo are objecting to subversive interests in tho western hemisphere.

Continued from Page D the party one judge, both prose- cutors, the court clerk, and one Of the two probation officers. This would leave the Republicans only one judge, the assistant clerk, and Q probation officer.
 The Waterbury Democratic or- ganizationS slate is said to call for the appointment of Attorney Clar. ence V. Balanda to the $4,000-a. year clerkship, though political circles say that Senator Michael V. BlanSfield favors Attorney Irv. ing W. Pastenak.
 The organization slate also, it Is reported, calls for the two prose- cutors to come from q list including tho names Of AttornyS Carmine Ciprlano, T. Gordon Hutchinson, Frank T. Hoaley Maurice Healey, Aldermanic President John s. Mon- agan and Rep. John A. Membrino, aS well aS several others.
 Drop Prosecutors
 ThB would mean the dropping of both present prosecutors, Michael J. 0alullo, Republican, and Will liam K. LaWlor, Democrat.
 Capitol gossip has it that despite the city organizations slate, one of the court appointments will be left to former Town Chairman Joseph r. Mulville to decide. Tn this case, Attorney Harry Spellman would be 0 likely candidate for either clerk or prosecutor.
 Another complication Is that Prosecuting Attorney Lawlor hos substantial support for reappoint- ment.
 Want ProseeutOrship
 Republicans will seek to gain one of the prosecutorships, claim Ing that the set-up proposed by the Democrats gives the latter an un. fairly large share Of the patron age.
 Attorney Palomba, though still 6 candidate for judge, Is receiving considerable mention for prosecu- tor, post he almost won two years ago. He was turned down in 1889 by the Republican organiza- ton in favor of Attorney Galullo.
 Also figuring in the picture is Attorney Harry Krasow, who Is on excellent terms with the State c. o. P, leadership and who came Into the limelight recently as chair man of arrangements for the Young Republican state conven- ton at Waterbury.
 SuInma's Name Mentioned
 Attorney Charles Summa, who was dropped two years. is again a candidate for prosecutor. Also mentioned is Attorney Albert Bron- sky, now clerk of the court. who seems certain to lose his present position no matter how the pat- ronage deal is finally completed.
 Attorney Philip Bernstein, Re. publican, who is now male proba- tion officer, is a leading candidate for reappointment, though several c. O. P. lawyers are after his Job.
 A late and surprise entry in the court sweepstakes is Attorney Al- bert HuTnmel. Republican. several Influential Democrats as well as Republicans are backing him for e court post.

,s The biggest surprise came In the Aomination of Highway Commis- Aoner William J. Cox for the two gears remaining In the term for Which the Senate refused to confirm him two years ago. Up to almost the moment that Commissioner Cox's names went to the Senate, the gov- ernor had planned to send in an- ether nomination. The post was to Co to Public Works Commissioner George L. Burke, but instead MT. COX was named again and Mir. Burke was nominated for 6 full four year term at his present job, which 11N took over following Governor 1farley's inauguration in January.
 4T'he reasons behind the romina- ton of Cox are still obscure. The commissioner has strong opposition within both parties and chances are that his nomination will be the one nest bitterly contested when 1t canes up for confirmation in the Aznate next week. Presumably, how exer, the governor had assurance that enough votes were available to coAfirm Commissioner Coxs ap- pctntment, though possibly 1t may he that Governor Hurley decided to take the bull by the horns and send the nomination in without any Niedges of support whatever. We eAh tell better about that next week

IN THE SHADOW OF THE
CROSS by Frederick X. Stamm
Macmillan, New York. $1.50. Any
new book by DR.. Stamm is anxious
ly awaited by readers Of religious
literature. He here interprets the
Cross for our generation, and
makes able application of the Cos
pei of Jesus to this troubled world
He sees the Cross as no isolated
event in history, and Jesus as "the
crown and destiny of all things in
the universe and out of it." The
reviewer expects this book to be
on the recommended list of read
ing for the Lenten season. g. . .
Standing in a world of storm and
stress of disquiet and difficulty,
when the world seems bankrupt
of wisdom, 1t is we'll to stand close
to the Cross of Calvary, our one
strong hope, the strength of to-
day, and the hope of tomorrow. We
shall look in vain to see man
crowned with glory and honor, as
the Psalmist hoped, but we see
Jesus, the crucified. One hour be-
fore that cross is enough to save
us from cynicism, from fear, from
despair"

that ancient truth may answer
some of our modern questions"

sages is one topic: "Will God Bless

and her figures indicate that the
family spent in cash about 10 dol
lars a month for food, and about &c
dollars worth of home-produced
food was consumed each month
This means that about rs per cent
of the food used by the family was
produced on the farm.
Interest of rural Delawareans in
producing more and greater var
iety of foods for their families is
recognized as a definite contribu-

Control Tuberculosis By Finding
.Open Gases, Dr.. Philips Adyice

examinations were made last year
in Delaware's ten tuberculosis clin-
les scattered throughout the state.
OF these, 1925 were examinations
of new patients and 634 were o.
old ones. From these, DR.. Phillips
reported total of 134 new cases
OF tuberculosis in the state last
year, which more than replaces,
as sources of infection, the 124
persons who died Of the disease
during that same period.
At present there are about 140
patients in Brandywine Sanator-
ium, who were they on the outside
would be a source of danger to the
people in their families and their
community because of the possible
| ity of infection.
Edgewood Sanatorium for color
ed, situated next to Brandywine,
Just outside of Wilmington on the
Newport Turnpike, is run by DR..
ConweIl Banton and now has 48
patients. Others go to the sani-
tariums for periodic treatments.
The Dangerous Ages
The ages from IA to 80 are the
ones where there is the greatest in
cidence Of tuberculosis and hence,
within the group, the more inti-
mate the contact with any known
case OF tuberculosis the more i'm
portant it is to have an examina-
ton. Deaths from tuberculosis are
highest in girls ranging in age from
19 to "a and in men from "a to 39.
Infants exposed to tuberculosis Of
ten develop the dreaded tubercular
meningitis.
In the years from to IA there
seem to be fewer cases of tubercu-
lcsis developed than any other 10
year period but. strangely enough,
more infections, providing these

cases of tuberculosis. The germs
