tBY THE OUT EAsTER)

In his young and sturdy days, Lieut.. James Wagner of the Police Department, who died the other day, possessed the strength of an OK. He was big and strong, and seemed to be able to perform feats of strength without any .appar- ent effort on his part. And that is why he and his brother Tom, now dead, became connected with the great tug of war team of Old Company G of the Connecticut National Guard. The Wagner boys were fine looking young men, and in their military dress were most attractive to the eye. Fifty years ago almost every section of the city had a tug of war team, but Old Co. G's outfit could out do, and actually did win ill every one of the contests generally pulled" in the old city hall.
 And SO 1t was that after the G team defeated all of the local boys, 8 big match was arranged for the city hall on the after noon of some important holiday, according to what the lieutenant told US in times gone by. Their opponents were a team made up of active and alert athletes of Yale college, and commonly known as 'The Kling Brothers. They, too, were young, but not as heavy as the Waterbury men. On the day of the match, much money was wagered among the large number of people who were there. Waterbury really emptied its pockets in its mad rush to back its favorite team.
 But. oh, as Jim often explained
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-02-10

The night before President Me dina left for Washington in re- Sponse to President Roosevelt in- vitation. a huge mass meeting was held in the Caracas bull ring to urge votes for women and other constitutional reform. All political parties participated, including Me dina;s Venezuelan Democratic par ty. The meeting also sought a direct popular vote for President, and sweeping agrarian reforms to in- crease the. number of independent farmers. It is expected that the next Congress, opening in April, will adopt some if not all of these measures.
 That prospect is not sensational now, but it would have been reyolu- t1onary 10 years ago. before PreSi-' dent Lopez Contreras and then President Medina set about reviv- ing popular government following the Gomez dictatorship.
 Medina has strengthened his countryS relations with the neigh boring republics as a result of his tour of the Bolivarian countries last year, while Venezuela during and after the Rio de Janeiro Con- ference of American Foreign Min isters, has been in the forefront among the Latin-American nations which adopted and have imple- mented the Rio pacts.
 The large German minority nv- ing in Venezuela has been com pletely neutralized and dangerous aliens have either been deported or interned in concentration camps, deep in the interior of Venezuela.
 Venezuelan armed forces are &C., lively engaged in cooperating with United States forces stationed in Venezuelan territory for the pro- lection of the vital petroleum indus try against possible Axis attacks.
 The effectiveness of these defense measures is shown by the fact that only two ships flying the Venezue Ian flag-both foreign-owned-have been attacked during the war to which Venezuela is now contribut- ing Q. larger share of oil than any other nation in the world except the United States. .
 Medina has handled the question of foreign exploitation of Venezue- Ian oil properties with finess rare ly achieved in other Latin Amer ican il-producing states. He has succeeded in keeping satisfied all but the most extreme Venezuelan Ta- tionalists at home as well as the

foreign oil companies.
 Through the new oil legislation passed last year the royalties paid to the government were increased by about six per cent and the na- tion was assured of the quickest ex- ploitation of it's oil resources.
 While Medina's trip to the United States is expected to result in in- creased shipments of certain mate rials needed by Venezuela to speed up the development of her indus tries, Medina stressed the real sig nificance and purpose of his trip when he stated: T am going to the United States to represent nation of free-men in complete and Spir- itual unity with her brothers of the North"
 General Medina is 46. Orphaned early by the death of his father, a general who died fighting bandits in the Andes, he also lost his mother at the age of nine. Then he became a newspaper copy-boy, and was ad- mitted at IS to Venezuela's military academy. No politician, he publicly criticized dictatorial governments at time when his country was burd- ened by the notorious tyranny of Gen. Juan Vicente Gomez. Minis ter of War after Gomez's death, he resigned that post to campiagn for the Presidency in 1941.
 As President, Medina exercises an hour III the morning, works 12 hours consults his cabinet ministers every day. His salary is $500 a month, and he gets an equal amount for expenses. He plays golf on Satllr- days, shoots in the sos, frequently sees U. s. movies, adores his two- year-old daughter and has as his best friend the famed Venezuelan painter, Tito Salas.
