Some of the information, he said, was the result of consultation with en employe of the Gammino Com- pany.
 The meeting with Bushell took place while Attorney General Fran cis A. Pallotti was making his in vestigation of Cox and the highway department.
 under cross-examination by Chief Defense Counsel Joseph F. Berry, Lucian H. Beebe, Norwich resident engineer of the highway division, said he was taken to see the governor late in January dur ing preliminary investigation ot highway department affairs, which preceded the suspension of Com missioner Cox.
 Beebe testified he was with the governor fcr nearly two hours, after waiting a similar length of time for the governor to get through questioning Ronald J. Brown, highway department in- spector on the Gammino Construc- ton company's building of two small bridges at Ledyard.
 In the governors office, Beebe said, he was shown a chart of con- struction on the Ledyard job, drawing which he said was rather poor" It was not brought out who made the chart, but Brown testified last week that act ing Highway Commissioner Frank Upman, Jr., made 8 chart which he was shown.
 Earlier in his testimony, Beebe said he was taken from Norwich Brown was, and brought to Hart ford. He said he thought he wal under arrest.
 In the attorney generals office Beebe testified, he was shown var1- ous records, including that of idle equipment on the Gammino job and was asked to explain various features.
 Beebe said he refused, asserting he was either going home or tc jail very soon." He went home without answering the questions.
 On the stand all day Tuesday Beebe was reticent witness when questioned by Assistant Attorney General Richard F. Corkey. But he talked freely when cross-ex- amined by Defense Counsel Berry.

Proper Food Vital
 Preventive Factor
Progress of Tuberculosis Checked by Natural Resist
 ance Says Miss Kennedy, NutritiOnist

Miss Margaret Kennedy, com- munity nutritionist, today endorsed the early-diagnosis campaign being conducting this month by the Anti Tuberculosis League with the following statements concerning the relation of food to the dread disease being fought by the league:
 "'It has been shown that resis- tance to tuberculosis can be en- hanced or reduced according to the foods that are eaten"
 "The normal human body pos sesses remarkable powers of ward- ing of or of overcoming infec- tion. It Is now generally accepted that natural resistance to disease is dependent upon, and varies with the nutritional state of the body" Miss Kennedy continued.
 During World War I, the in1- portance of nutrition as related to tuberculosis was clearly demon- strated when the death rate from tuberculosis doubled in Germany and in other countries in which the food supply became low. As soon as the food factors were re- stored to normal, the toll of tuber- culosis again dropped to pre-war level.
 Important Factor
 Good, nutritious food is esserl- tial to maintain the body's resis- tance to disease, and is a very important factor in fighting tuber- culosis. By Nutritious food I mean not only plenty of food of good quality and variety, but also plenty of the protective foods those con- taining large amounts of vitamins and minerals" Miss Kennedy stated. "When furnished plentifully these substances can help prevent tuberculosis by helping to keep the body vigorous and functioning nronerlv like any well-cared-fO

BETTER TREATMENT FOR
NEGRO SCHOOLS

Editor. Daily News: When 1 read
an editorial in your Daily News with
as much in it as the one in the June
4th issue on Better Negro Schools I
cannot refrain from writing you and
saving amen. In the first place it
takes courage to advocate anything
that one knows is very, very touchy
and unpopular. Negro education is
not so unpopular with the powers who
control educational policies in Missis-
sippi, but it is something they are
very anxious to have outsiders leave
alone. say very little about and in
vestigate not at all.
| am at loss to understand how
the leaders in education in this state
justify themselves in the extremely
unfair treatment negroes are given.
We expect so much of negroes and in
return give them nothing. but actual
v take from them what richtfully
belongs to them and apply it to the
edHca~ onal funds for the white child

THE WAY OF DEATH
by
Ruth Taylor

The Nazi way of life is a liel The
Nazi way of life is the way of death
for all those who believe in the sane
tity of the individual, in the rights Of
man and the Christian doctrine of
equality of all men before God.
The Nazi way of death is more than
the policy of the man Hitler Remove
Hitler and you would still have the
Nazi way. 1t is not just a conception
of the militarists. 1t is not just an
offshoot if Fascism, as that was an
aftermath of Communism.
The Nazi way of death is the spread
of any idealogy which breaches the
domination of any one group = be il
group of class, race, religion al
nationality over all other groups
The Nazi way of death stirring w
if hatreds between groups, the ere,
alton Of barriers between them by APP
peals to fear and prejudice, the play
ing upon complacency, Indifference
1aziness, self-interest.
The Nazi way of death is not :
crusade. We have among us those
who bend over backwards and cal
the totalitarian idealogies religious.
This is false. The Nazi way of deatf
cannot be dignified with the cloak Of
principles or even of an ideal o.
National Socialism.
The Nazi way of death is the prac
teal application of gang rule, or thu
domination by terror of small groul
of murderers and thieves. We hav
had experience with that. We hav
seen what has happened in our ow.
cities when we became careless an
indifferent and we have learne
that the only way to combat tn
gangster is by drastic action - b
roofing out the gangs, lock, stock an
barrel - and by an extirpation of til
idea by strict allegiance to law an
order. HIKE

Why art thou wroth? and why is thy

thee shall be its desire; but do thou

And it came to pass, when they were
in the field, that Cain rose up against
Abel his brother, and slew him.

Where is Abel thy brother? And he
said, I know not: am I my brothers
keeper? ----

done? the voice of thy brothers

Better Schools For Negroes
Newton's Junior College.

Newton's Junior College.
l often wonder just how long it
will be before we assemble a legisla-
tive body of men supported by a
governor with a sense of justice to-
wards the negroes that will try to
improve the schooling advantages fo1
our negroes. We expect them to rur
our tractors and keep them in opera
ton. We expect them to know how
to cultivate a growing crop. In fact
we expect them to know about as
much as we know and on a dollar 6
day wage.
I think the measure of any man
especially a legislator or governor, is
his sense of fairness to every citizen
of the state. The state could not in
vest its money in a safer and better
paying proposition than to give the
laboring class of the state chance
to learn how to become efficient work
ers on farms, in factories. on the rail
roads and many other places.
1t certainly is encouraging to have
men like Mr. Fl. v. Watkins of Jack
son express themselves fearlessly and
publicly favoring an agricultural and
vocational school for Kinds county.

True Americans do not need to be
warned of the evils of Nazism and its
divide and Conquer" policy. They
will fight to the finish on the battle
field and in the factories. They will
stand as they have in the past for
freedom for all because they know
that once the country sinks to a ma
ton of relegated or submerged min
critics, freedom will have vanished
for all and all that will be left
will be the Nazi reign of death.

To all presidents who had deceased
members to be paid off in the June
Boards: I wish to say that some of
the presidents are still renewing
members up, paying $1.35 for the
June Boards. We had notified you
that we had enough to bring the
claims up to $4,000 and now we
have more than that. Therefore we
have decided to wait until the Con-
vention meets at which time we will
no doubt have more.
This will save us in sending out 70
many checks. The balance of the

going higher and higher. We are
proud of this.
