'CLOISTERED' AT
 CAPITOL THEATER

Unanimously acclaimed by New York critics, "Cloistered" opens at the Capitol theater today for a four day run. Seldom. If ever, has a film been so well received, and the me- tropolitan critics are not the only ones who have afforded this new screen masterpiece superlative re- views. Quoting in part the New York Times: "One of the most un- usual pictures of the year. Remark ably interesting. Unquestionably au- thentic." And the New York Post said: "A minor miracle. Irresistible appeal" The New York Daily News commented: strangely moving and beautiful" Each review heaped praise upon praise and "Cloistered," l" which is a true picture of life in the Convent of the Good Shepherd, stayed at one large New York play house for four monthsl "Cloistered' clearly and beautifully unfolds the real story of the mysteries of convent life.

EIGHT RECRUITS
 ENLIST IN NAVY
Industrial, Army Competi. ton Fail to Decrease
 Naval Volunteers

The Navy Recruiting Service com.
 pleted another successful month o
 recruiting in the state, closing il
 out with the enlistment of eight
 recruits here yesterday. Despite tht
 continued demand for youth ant
 man power in industry, coupled with recruiting competition from other
 branches of the service, 1t has not been necessary for the navy tc deviate one bit from the high stan- dards Of requirements, Lieutenant Walter F. Hinckley, the officer in charge asserted.
 Enlisted today and transferred to the Naval Training Station at Nor. folk, Virginia were: Joseph J. l.. Marrotte, 40 South street, and AL fred E. Van Haverbeke, 23 Potter street of Willimantic; Richard l.. Brennan, 97 sherman avenue, and Thomas P. Lord, 82 Oakridge street of Norwich; Cornelius J. Maher, 34 Prest street, New London; Richard J Shea, 42 Colonial street, Hart ford; Francis w. Cole, Box 55, West Cornwall; and Robert L. Searle, 40 Knapps Highway, Faiarfield. All but two enlisted for a period of minor ity.
 Since the Navy Recruiting Service here has taken over all Naval Re. serve Recruiting activities, the re- cruiting stations in New Haven, Bridgeport, Hartford, New London, South Norwalk and Waterbury have been literally swamped with in- quiries about various classes in the Naval Reserve. It is more than likely that the majority of enlist ments in these classes will be made from the thousands of young men of enlistment age completing high school this year.
 One of the classes now available to young men between the ages of r and ? Is the class known as WEE TWO. Applicants must be male citizens of good character, possess the moral, educational and physical requirements specified for enlist ment in the regular. navy, and be graduates of an aviation vocational, Or aviation trade school, or possess equivalent experience through pre- vious employment.

Republican Women
Hear Brooks AssaiI
Bill
Gives Greatest Grunt
For Making War, Senator
Declares at Meeting

Denouncing the leaSe-lend British
aid bill as an attempt "in the guise
of national defense" to vest in one
man the power to make war, Senator
Brooks, Republican, of Illinois told
the League of Republican Women
yesterday at the Mayfiower Hotel
that if the American people under
stood the true significance of the
measure it would never be passed by
Congress.
"It is the greatest imaginable
grant of power for making war" he
declared, and added: THE tragedy
is that it is the Presidents own bill.
He says it will keep us out Of war,
but already we are beginning to di-
rect that war"
Cites u. s. Tradition.
Senator Brooks said that America,
alone in the world, was inbued with
the tolerance, regardless of race,
creed or color, that enables a nation
to live and prosper in peace. This
country, he said, had been built
upon the principle of a division of
authority that was the antithesis of
the governing authority of Europe s
war makers. I'm one hour of hys-
terra are we going to give all that
power to one mani" he demanded.
Reviewing his World War expert
ences, Senator Brooks related that
he had volunteered to fight because
he believed that it was a war to end
all wars, battle to make the world
safe for democracy. Maybe I was
just stupid kid" he said. "I guess
I am still stupid because I don't
think now that this Is our war"
Hopes England Wins.
He said he hoped England wins
the present war but admitted he was
not sure what winning meant. "I
don't know what the future holds,
but I'm not filled with hysteria
about getting into that war to in
sure it," he declared.
This thing is endless" Mr..
Brooks said, referring to the present
war. They preach hatred and in
tolerance into their children and
when the children grow up they
start all over again. When this is
finished and they are all crippled
and bankrupt there will be one place
on earth that can still help them

The legality of President Roose-
velt's removal of Arthur E. Morgan
as chairman of the Tennessee VAL
ley Authority was defended today
by the Justice Department in a
brief filed with the Supreme Court.
Solicitor General Francis Biddle
urged the tribunal to refuse to re-
view Mr.. Morgan's appeal from an
adverse decision by the Federal Cir
cult Court at Cincinnati.
Mr.. Biddle asserted that the Cir
cult Court correctly ruled that the
T. v. A. Act does not restrict the
inherent and implied power of the
President to remove the directors of
the Authority" and that "the Au-
thority exercises purely executive or
administrative functions"
THE directors of the Authority"
Mr. Biddle said, "are appointed by
the President and it Is well settled
that the power to appoint includes
the power to remove in the absence
of statutory restriction"
Mr.. Morgan is seeking payment of
$4,583 salary from the T. v. A. fol-
lowing his dismissal in 1898 for
"contumacy."
