 The new pipe line is being con- structed by the Lock Joint Pipe Co., which submitted bid of $894,- 900. It is part of a huge $2.0O0. 900 water supply expansion project, which also involves construction of new dam, reservoir and chlor- mating plant at Morris.
 Specifications call for the pipe line to be completed by next June, but the contractors have expressed confidence that they will be fin- ished a good deal before that.
 Plans and specifications for the d am m, reservoir and chlorination plant are now being prepared. Tn this part of the work the city will seek federal aid, having applied for funds under the Lanham com munity service act. An application was also made for pipe line aid, but was withdrawn after 1t had been decided that further delay b starting pipe line to supplement the present single, 46-year -old line, might prove very costly.

GERMAN CLAIMS DOUBLED
 London, Aug. 9.-(UP)-Authori- tative quarters warned the press to- day to take with reserve" German claims of tremendous victories in the Russian Ukraine, but admitted that the German drive toward Odessa continued to make dangerous pro- greSs.
 During the Russian campaign, the Germans have repeatedly made high-faluting claims and then for got about them," authoritative quar- terS said.
 But they said that the Germans probably were now within 75 miles of Nikolaev, an important naval base on the Black Sea, approximately 60 miles northeast of Odessa.
 Authoritative sources said that in the past month, Japan had sent ap- proximately five divisions totaling 100000 men to Manchukuo, increaS- ing the garrison there to 35O,000.
 The authoritative source said an- other admonition had been sent to Japan today saying that Britain "feelS that Japan could not miSun- derstand (Foreign Secretary An thony) Eden,s warning regarding Thailand."

For years back into the past the commission had been almost morbid. It had interrupted its doxing to hold hearings and issue minor orders now and then, but seldom was anything done to ben- eft the public. Yet in the few weeks since the advent of MeSsrs. Fisher and O'Connell, the cOm- mission has ordered re-hearing of the rate increase the New Ha- ven Water Co. was allowed to make over a year ago, has taken steps to remedy the water Situa- tion long complained of by CrOn- well residents, and has secured agreements from electric cOm- panies for extension of electric service to remote rural areas.
 This is dizzy pace for 8 state body that had been so inert for years that many citizens wOn- dered if 1t actually existed. It is . pace that the new commission CTS indicate will be continued.

The Hole In Your Sock

Hidden around this country in
private purses now is the astound-
ing total of more than $4,000, ,000,-
900" writes Paul Mallon Much
Of It Is In mattresses, socks aud
private safes. The evidence is clear
that a boarding era has reach
"a suspicious proportions since
the frsf Of this year"
Many OF these hoarders believe
that they are protecting themselves
against either iniiatiOn or a gov
ernment fiscal policy which might
force them to invest their money.
But. as Paul F. Cadman, economist
of the American Bankers Associa-
ton, points out, they have small
chance of success. "Hoarded cur
rency is practically useless meth
pd of protecting the holders of
property against the arbitrary acts
OF government" says DR.. Cadman.
'sEarly attempts to hoard money in
continental Europe to avoid gov
ernmental levies during and after
the first world war were met by
.YiOch4HS bduh dCCouAAlD dAA sue
beQding transactions on the ex-
changes. Outstanding currency
ceased to be legal tender or to have
any validity unless it was pre-
sented TO a government agency and
stamped TO indicate that tax had
been paid or imposed conditions
Had been met The holders Of cur
rency found themselves in exactly
the same position as the owners Of
bank deposits
The boarding of currency is
nbout 100 per cent futile-and. on
top of that. hidden currency is al
ways in danger of being burned,

HITLERIAN TACTICS HERE

To put it bluntly. tits clear that
certain powerful labor leaders
have one aim in mind; To make 1t
impossible for any man to obtain
a job, any man to earn a living,
unless he belongs to a labor un-
ion. These labor leaders, in short,
are driving toward labor mono
poly and toward personal dicta-
torship over every working man
and woman in this country.
In pursuing that goal, these
leaders will use any weapon that
comes to hand They will call
strikes in defense industries, APP
parently not caring whit that the
country's security and safety are
thereby imperiled They will rig
labor elections in one way or an
other, SC that the ordinary union
man is virtually voiceless. They
will, on occasion, stoop to violence
and terrorism. They make use of
that most terrible weapon-the
blacklist. Their obvious purpose
is TO put the fear Of God into work
ers and employers, SO that they will
knuckle under.
The callous disregard certain
labor leaders have shown for gov
ernment itself in this time of grave
crisis indicates the way the wind
blows They make totally unjus-
titled and impossible demands on
industry on an ;or else!" basis.
Their methods are often imposs-
ible to differentiate from those of
Capone in the heyday of organized |
vice. This projected labor mono
poly is one of the most serious
problems the United States has ever
faced. sa
Let this state of affairs go on
long enough, and the country will
be helpless. A few fat-salaried la
Dor leaders will rule this country
as surely as Hitler rules his Reich.
will be done without their
permission-and on their terms.
