Cameraman Shoots Years-Maine to Marne

Even back in 1913 Jimmy Hare
 was called "the worlds greatest
 photographer" He was first to
 snap" the Spanish American
 War, including the sunkcn Maine,
 first to shoot an airplane flight,
 first with pictures of PanchO Villa. He covered the RussO-Jap-
 anese War and the World War and at 84 he'd like to cover another.
 He can't, of course, but you can Cover this pioneer picture man in
 lively biography, Jimmy Hare"
 by Cecil Carres (Macmillan: $3).
 Take the following quick glimpse
 of Hare in Cuba AZ years ago:
 The fierce Cuban sun beat with out mercy upon the slope of Kettle Hill. The blockhouSe above them spat sheets of fire at the khaki clad soldiers who were grimly inch ing their way toward it. =. Yet up the hill and through successive lines of sweating men came a pho- tographer, walking steadily and half erect, his camera held before him ready for instant use. He was small of stature, most desirable thing. Nearing the top, he stood up and carefully aimed his camera. An angry voice at his elbow promptly ordered him down. It was an officer who had come up unnoticed by him. He turned his head for a look at the soldier, and in that terrible in- stant the blood turned to ice in his veins. Leonard Wood himself, the colonel of these Rough Riders!
 He was in for it now. With the calmnesS of despair, he took the picture. And if in for a penny, why not a pound? Hurriedly, he pre- pared to make a second exposure. This was going @ bit too far for the outraged colonel. With 8 smart tap from the flat of his sword he repeated his command in terms so vitriolic the insubordinate civilian fairly collapsed to safety. Wood moved on, and the photographer wiped a streaming brow. He could scarcely credit his good fortune. He had his picture, and he hadn't been asked for his permit to be among

a body of men authorized to make laws for our city. Common sense should have made them visualize the apparent outcome of such dras- tic action. The fire hazard has not been lessened; it's been increased Prompt action should be taken be- fore tragedy strikes.
 The claim" is also made that be- cause of parked cars, ''minute-men' of the street department were "ham- pered" in their job of keeping the streets clear of ice and snow.
 Within this same" area on last Friday morning, as late as 2 a. m. Qate to us National Emergency workers) at the dangerous intersec- tion of Grove and Prospect streets observed cars scri5bling perfect fig ure-8S on the 1ce-glaZed surface where not a grain of sand appeared although the icy condition had pre- vailed throughout the night. Inci- dentally, there were no cars parked there to hamper tie work of the street departments flying squad ron" Because of this neglect, severs collisions in other sections were re ported in the news, but observed nc arrests were made, and rightly so Arrests would bring "squawks' which in turn would bring "alibis, but of course, they would have to be new ones. x
 In closing, may address the fol- lowing to our 'law-makers":
 We, the citizens of Waterbury, de- nland that you immediately return to us, the use of the streets where we have our homes and in which we claim 8 share, during the only hours the opportunity is ours to enjoy our homes, and where we can reach our cars without being obliged tc walk half mile or more to where we are now compelled to park then outside of No Mans Land" After all, you have not eliminated the con- gestion, you have simply moved il just outside the lines where you vii

 Last fall the War Department was host to the chiefs of staffs of most of our Latin neighbors. The generals toured Army posts and schools and were given closeup view of the defense program then getting under way. The visit made a big hit with the Latins and the President decided to take advant- age of its success.
 On his instructions the War
 Department recently invited the
 southern republics to send off,
 ficerS for courses of special
 training with U. s. Army. The
 opportunity was enthusiastically
 accepted, and forty -four Latin
 American officers will begin
 work the first of next month.
 They will be enrolled in the in- fantry school at Fort Benning, Ga, the field artillery school at Fort Sill, Okla, and the coast ar- tillery school at Fort Monroe, Va. This instruction will cover four teen weeks, after which the offic- CTS will be attached to units of the Army for another ten weeks

HOW find the streets choked with cars. Perhaps your intentions were of the best when you framed this or dinance but let's hope that nothing tragic occurs to mar those inten- tions. Remember, car left on the street can be rolled away much quicker than the time it would take to clear narrow building entrance of several locked cars.
 And as for Snow--oh well! We can still wait for the spring thaws to melt it away. It wouldn't be a hard ship. We're used to it.
 To others of you citizen motorists who feel that this law should be re- sc!nded, let's have your views. It IS only in this way that perhaps a more intelligent solution can be found. The writer's views coincide with that of many persons with whom he has talked. Let's hear from you.

If the city want ed publicity for the new meters it could not have received any more than it has through the efforts of those who are op- posed to their operation locally. Present plans may interfere with the immediate operation, but we don't see how they can prevent the ultimate use of meters local 1V

 tween 25 and 50 House members. It ] has just enough of an organization to have chairman, who is Coffee. ! Its members meet once week dur ing sessions, usually in the Dodge Hotel. There's generally a speaker sometimes a congressman, some I times New Deal functionary, ! sometimes an outsider-whoSe talk in followed by a chat on pending legislation and a discussion of cur ! rent issues. This group had more importance earlier in the New Deal than it has 1 had since Maverick unintentional- 1 ly brought it low in his final. term. He was chairman, and was forever being referred to in print under that title. The average congress man, liberal or otherwise, is pretty ] jealous, so 8 lot of bloc members began to figure they weren't doing 1 anything much besides getting Maverick lot of publicity, and at- tendance at the meetings dropped. Coffee is keeping pretty much in ! the background, nursing the bloc back to vigor with due regard for everyone's Sensitivity.
 LIBERAL TRADITION
 IN COFFEE FAMILY ..., .- Coffee himself is an unusual sort. Son of a well-to-do Tacoma busi- ness man who was once president of the Tacoma Chamber of Com merce, he was reared in better-than average comfort and given an ex- pensive education at the University of Washington and at Yale.
 There was strong liberal tra- dition in the family, however-Wil- liam Jennings Bryan used to visit i thehome when was child, and the elder Coffee was a great admirer | of the elder Bob La Follette-and as soon as John Coffe got to Wash ington in 1886 he began to establish reputation as two-fisted left Winger.
 But as chairman of the new House liberal bloc, Coffee isn't just l another congressman Spouting. He speaks for group which sometimes holds the balance of power in the House when the Democrats get more than usually split and which often runs interference for the ad- ministration on measures and ideas l the administration can't go to the l front for.
 This group says Coffee, is going to be unusually vigilant this winter to protect domestic reforms and see that monopoly doesn't get furth- CT entrenched under cover of the defense program"
 i CUNNING FOR WAGNER
 ACT AMENDMENTS
 1 Congressman Howard Smith of Virginia has re-introduced his Wag- | ner Act amendments, which failed of passage in the last session, and stands ready to bring in 8 bill re- | stricting labor's right to strike in defense industries. It's such meas ures that the House liberals are gunning for.
 "The reactionarieS are going to take strikes in defense industries as examples of hampering our pa- triotic effort" says Coffee, "but they say nothing about the way some industrialists are demanding their pound o flesh. If they put any such laws through you can bet la- bor will start hollering to have the government do some commander ing of factories.
 of course, what's happening is that few extremists on both sides are guilty. They've all got to see that the public interest comes first in this emergency"
