One of the most important of sev- eral complaints registered witf'7 the past few days is that oiced by em- plo:es of the Middlebury branch of the United States Time Corpora ton, formerly the Waterbury Clock company. Early morning rllshes of some 200 women for a few buses which convey them to their work have become rather disturbing oc- currences on the south side of the Green. About 7:20 o'clock there is Q wild stampede to board the buss- es. The inconvenience of late has reached such proportions that 1t has been intimated that the fac- tory is likely to lose @ number of employees who have grown tired of being pushed about. It has also been hinted that a local union will champion the cause for more bus Ses.
 The East End Community Club in its resolution presented by Salva- tore Bosco claims that scores of workers are late every morning as crowded busses Just "whiz by" stop ping places between Englewood ave- nue and Silver street.
 Residents of Fairmount section are reported displeased with the schedule as buses run away be- hind the hour and half-hour time
 Shortage of experienced drivers, as well as a shortage of busses, is one of the several explanations giv- en by the c. R. & L. Company. AS for keeping a schedule patrons are expo { ed to blame the veatherman for his recent snow. rain and sleet storm and continued cold spell. It has been rather difficult to keep on time owing to the condition of local streets.
 The East End Community club and other protesting groups will receive a formal answer shortly from Manager Drummond and per- haps some encouraging news for transportation service.

New Deal !'as Destroyed
Democratic Party, Gov.
John Brieker Declares

Governor John w. Bricker, Re-
publican vlce-presidential nominee.
delivered vigorous indictment of the
New Deal Administration as he car
ried his SpeeCh-a-day campaign tour
west of the Mississippi.
Speaking in st. Louis, on October
4lh, over a nationwide network, Gov
ernor Bricker accused the New Deal
of dividing the people Of the nation
in order to hold its power.
1T has set class against class"
he said. 1T has played minority
groups for their political support. It
has attacked not only the actions,
but the motives of all who dared to
oppose it: Never before have. we
had the bitterness. engendered by
selfish political interests, that we
have experienced in this administra-
ton"
Governor Brickcr condemned the
New Deal for Its vicious and per-
Sistent attacks upon business" and
for using its extraordinary wartime
power Ito suppress the rights of
the American People and to subor-
dinaie them TO constant bureaucrat-
ic domination"
Il do not condemn the Admins
tration for its legitimate efforts on
behalf OF the workers of this coun-
try" Governor Bricker continued.
But I do condemn the New Deal
for its favoritism among labor
groups, for playing one against an
other for political purposes, for bad
administration OF labor laws and for
political adjudication Of disputes be-
tween labor and management. Such
tactics have resulted in strife and
strikes, they have actually lessened
war production"
Charging that the New Deal sis
leading this nation away from Amer
lean principles of government
Governor Brickcr said that the
Roosevelt Administration had de-
stroyed the traditional Democratic
party.
Instead the reins of power have
been turned over to such White
House agents as Hopkins, Franklin
ter, Roscnman, Pepper, Ickes. Kel-
ly, Hague and the temporarily in
active Pcndergast." he said. They
know little of the real life of Amer
lea and they care less. They want
power and jobs. Patronage is their
meat and drink Power is their
passion. The American people are
their victims.
But there is now a more danger
Gus influence than these. AS the
New Deal took over the Democratic
party-so now the Communists and
the radicals have taken over the
New Deal. The New Deal Conven-
ton i'll Chicago raised to the pedes-
