Life of Action

BALTIMORE, Jan. 12.-Dr. How
ard Atwood Kelly, "a, information
ally known medical authority and
member of the big -Four" of the
Johns Hopkins Medical School here,
died today after brief illness. He
caused wide discussion toward the
end of his scientific career by
voicing disbelief in some phases of
The doctrine of human evolution.
Upon his election in February
1881, as trustee of the William Jen-
nings Bryan University at Dayton.
Tenn, an institution which had its
genesis in the famous Scopes trial
srowing out of the teaching of
evolution in Tennessee public
schools. Dr. Kelly stated that he
accepted the evolution hypothesis
with definite reservations.
He held that man, created in the
image of God, had progressed
downward, rather than rising from
lower forms of life. Animals, he
conceded, had changed their
forms through the ages, but under
a process directed by God, the Gre
atOr.
Wins Degree at 10
Born February 20, 1858, in Cam
den, N. j., Dr. Kelly won his bach
elor's degree at the University of
Pennsylvania when he was only
10 years old, and then began the
study of medicine His studies, how
ever, were interrupted by impaired
health and during part of 1880 and
part OF 1881, he went to Ebert
County, Colorado, and became a
cowboy, riding the range in search

resumed the study of medicine,

Awakening at Last

Texas legislators, alarmed at the eX-
pansion of Federal authority at the eX-
penSe of states rights embodied in the
Guadalupe-BlancoR River Authority and
the Lower Colorado River Authority, have
passed measure designed to curb the
powers of the administrators of the au-
thoritieS. These authorities are similar
to other government power projects. They
are all part OF the program of SocialiZa-
ton of the electric industry, which has
been carried on by Federal agencies who
care no more for states rights than for
private enterprise.
For many years the owners of the pri-
vate utility industry have fought the ex-
panding grasp of socialism and bureau
cracy alone. The rest of the country has
stood by as if the controversy was strict
ly between the utilities and the govern
ment. Local business men and local poll
ticianS have actually encouraged the con-
struction OF power projects because So
cialistic Spellbinders enthralled them
with visions of subsidized prosperity The
fact that the local private utility was able
to supply abundant power to meet COM
munity needs was of little consequence.
The principle of private ownership versus
socialism was obscured by promises of
power at "cost" Also how fairly the gov
eminent negotiated for purchase of pri-
vate utility companies, did not particular
ly interest many of the onlookers. The
power socialists could do pretty much as
they pleased. Their authority has been
unlimited and their ventures into the
utility business have been free of scru-
tiny by any regulatory agency.
The Texas law is one of the first at
tempts to put halter on the expansion
OF centralized government and the Fed
eral electric power specialization program.
Texas alone can do little unless the eff
forts of her citizens are buttressed by
similar action in other states.

Standardization Plans

For some time it has been apparent
that, in order to obtain maximum Of
civilian commodities from a minimum Of
material and plant and manpoWer, it
will be necessary to institute a program
Of standardization that may 60 far be-
yond the tentative steps already taken.
War Mobilization Chief James F. Byrnes
IS supposed to be working on such plans,
The publication PM, which maintains
intimate contact with many of the left
st elements in Washington, prints what
it says will be the elements of standard
ization. They are:
Elimination of brand names on all
commodities.
elimination of trade marks.
Ruthless curtailment of varieties in
all products.
STANDARD grades and styles in very
United numbers
STANDARD prices"
PMS article begins to lay the ground
york for a publicity campaign which will
ndeavor to put across this planned econ
my. The keynote, as you must have
guessed, will be the charge that all oppo-
ition is based upon selfish economic
motives and plays into the hands of the
Axis
We have no doubt at all that the plan
l-betser-World shock troops in Washing
on, who for years have been trying TO
kill brand names and trade marks by
every stratagem, are preparing such pro-
posals and will try to foist them upon Mr..
Byrnes. Knowing quite bit about pub
licity methods, we have no doubt that
this story is trial balloon designed to
test the strength, the afertnesS, the skill
and the location of the opposition to I'M
necessary theological phases of this pro-
gram, which are the two first enumerated.
If those proposals ever reach the open, we
shall oppose them. We shall express our
opposition regardless of the fact that, be-
cause the advertising of brand names and
trade marks helps to finance publication
o. this newspaper, we shall be accused OF
selfish motives
Competition among manufacturers and
merchants, based upon brand names and
trade marks, has given Anglo-Saxons the
highest standards of living this world ever
has seen both by creating employ
ment and by making that employment
produce an ever-greater quantity and
quality of consumer goods We believe
in an economy of plenty, not one OF scare
ity. We shall fight for such an economy
pleased that it makes possible the main
tenance of a free press, and refusing to
be frightened off by innuendo or eplthets.

Congress Persists

Having walked up, Congress is proving
quite remorseless in insisting upon it's
constitutional prerogatives as the ma
TONS legislative agency.
First came repeal of that $25, 900 salary
limitation which the White House enacted
against the expressed will of Congress.
Now the solons have challenged the ad-
ministration's plan to use subsidies to
roll back the cost of living, in face of
prior congressional disapproval.
The process is leading to new type OF
legislation. Instead of telling the execu-
tive what he can do, which has been ira
ditional American practice, the Congress
now is driven into telling the White
House what it cannot do.

Maybe 1t Can Be Done

There was much reluctance in official
circles about believing that there was
even an experimental possibility that
Henry Kaiser could build the huge ply
wood cargo planes he proposed, which
we're and are needed badly.
Thanks largely to public pressure, sup
porting Donald Nelson's willingness to
fi1d out, Kaiser was given opportunity to
make good Now ne has produced 16-
foot scale models that prove his point,
and has won the right to build full scale
planes with eight motors each, capable
of carrying go tons of cargo

More Land to Lovely Connecticut

The gift of over eighty acres of land
by the J. H. Whittemore Company OF
Naugatuck to the State of Connecticut
adds to our state park setup. The natural
beauty in our state, its lovely woodland
tracts and meadoWlands, adapt themselves
for state park USE Already we have
exceptional parks in our immediate area,
also in other parts of the state. Particu-
larly fine are the wooded tracts which
have been popular picnic haunts for
many years. State parks in, Goshen,
WATERFOWL, Riverton and many other
towns in Connecticut are of notable
beauty and finely adapted for their pur-
pose.
The Whittemore land which has been
given to the state this week is partly IN
Naugatuck, partly in Waterbury, and
borders both sides of the Naugatuck-Mid-
dlebury road. Many are acquainted with
the many winding and attractive roads
in the Middlebury, Naugatuck, Bradley
vile area. 1t is attractive, clean country,
the sort we are proud Of here in Con-
necticut.
This year our state park areas will not
have so many visitors. Scenery, however,
does not wear out through diSSuSe. And
in the days to come when we can once
more go and come as we please the
country will still be there for us to see
and enjoy, not the least of this the newly
donated land just a few miles outside our
own boundaries.

Ever since July 1910, Wall
Street and banking groups have
been trying to amend Securities
and Exchange legislation-some of
the amendments making sense,
other cutting the heart out of the
SEC. Hearings regarding these
proposed amendments have been
held before the House Interstate
and Foreign Commerce Commit
tee, but for about year now
they have lain dormant.
Out of the clear blue, however,
the proposed SEC amendments
have been revived Apparently the
big Wall Street boys figure now
is the time to strike while Roose-
welt is busy with the war, and
and Congress is lackadaisical about
New Deal reforms.
To this end, Chairman Clarence
Lea of California has announced
that hearings, in effect, to stymie
the agency which Roosevelt Gre
ated in 1888 to keep the money
changers out of the Temple, would
begin Immediately.
Further he has revealed the
amazing fact that the consul
tant for the House committee is
none other than Paul Frum,
partner in Newton d. Bayer's
Cleveland law firm, and repre-
restative of the National AssO-
citation of Security Dealers.
In other words, the National
Association of Security Dealers,
an organization active in the drive
to gut the SEC, has had its man
sitting on the staff of Congress
sional Committee supposed to be
impartial and supposed to decide
things for the best interests of the
country, not for the Wall Street
TRADERS.
Furthermore, Frum is sitting
with the House Interstate Com
merce Committee at closed-door
sessions, with no member of the
press or public present.
This caused SEC Chairman
Ganson Purcell to hit the ceiling.
Not even an SEC representative
was to be there to check on Frum's
advice. He protested so vigor-
ously that Congressman Lea
finally yielded to the point of

AS compared with food conditions in
other parts of the country we are not
too badly off in the east, The depriva-
tons so far are not such that we 60
hungry or even find our diets in any way
impaired More than likely, however,
things will be worse before they are bet
ter. Already hotels and restaurants are
hard-out to supply an attractive daily
menu. Many of them are cutting down
on service, and naturally the portions are
smaller. Leading hotels in Philadelphia
have cut their service, from room service
to daily changes of linen for the beds.
Whereas, you once faced rack of towels
in the bath room that went with your

face and one bath towel. This is Phlla-
delphia, where breakfast in your room
is also out.

semes to be happening to the spirit
ual life of many people today. They
become disconnected with life, rest
less, and all this in spite of the fact
that they live in the midst of condi-
tons which others covet and which
it would appear could not help but
make them happy.
The trouble lies in their roots, and
the fact that SO many adjacent
things, beautiful in themselves and
highly desirable, are taking the best
of their mind and energy and leav-
ing only few scraps upon which
spiritual life is supposed to subsist.
Such people need to have the roots
of their lives fed. The Bible speaks
about the tree of life, and in the
garden of every mans soul there
stands such tree. Foolish indeed
is he who allows it to die, when a
wise feeding Of its roots would pre-
vent death.

The same quality which was
largely responsible for making Ralph
M. Lowry a highly successful insur-

with making him, earlier. one of
the ablest news gatherers upon
Hartford newspapers in modern
times. That quality was an unusual
capacity for widespread acquaint-
ance and friendships.
Mr.. Lowry came to Hartford up
wards of a third of century ago
a stranger. Within an astonishing
ly short time he seemed to know
everybody, knew all about family
backgrounds and local traditions,
and to have made innumerable
friends. He had a natural talent
for knowing and being liked by
everybody, as we'll as being aware

demonstration of his gregariousness.
He received a greeting from the po-

as from bank and insurance presi-

the center of Hartford was reached
one felt that salutations had been
exchanged almost with the whole

manifested this quality, was only an
avocation with Mr.. Lowry. He came

He served that church and others
in such capacities for many years,
besides serving The Times for a
long time as music critic. The World
