TEXAS CENTENNIAL
tHartsord oourant, Feb. lOl

(HRrtford Courant, Feb. lO
 Today Texas begins It's second century as one of the United States of America. No other State can boast Q more unique or color. full history. Seven flags have at different times flown over It's vast territory. Three national sovereign ties, those of Spain, France and Mexico, had ruled 1t, aS had minor revolutionaries, by the time 1t es- abolished itself as Q Republic in ieS6.
 Talk of annexation to the United States spread through the years, On December 20, leA6, Congress voted to admit Texas, but the news did not reach the State Capitol ct Aus tn until the middle of January. Then the Republics legislature had to be called into session and formal ceremonies planned. On February 10 the Lone Star Repub- He's flag was hauled down and the Stars and Stripes run up.
 Fabulous ad fasciating as is Texas history. It's citizens of this day are convinced that as glowing an epic lies immediately ahead, Industries that dot the State have developed under, the strees of war, There is ample reason for the optimism that grips the State Deep in the Heart of Texas" may have been only a ephemeral popular song, but 1t appealed to the public because Texas is in truth deep ir the heart of the United States And for Connecticut particularly there Is the added tie that Stephen Fuller Austin, for whom the capita city was named, was educated at Bacon Academy in Colchester, anc was the oldest son of Moses Austin 0 native of this State.

TREES IN FIFTH AVENUE
(Hartford Times)

NE1dIVAO1u \ 4Ahco(
 When two Connecticut arborists, members of the executive board of the Connecticut Tree Protective As sociation. expressed the opinion that trees planted along curb in New York's Fifth Avenue were aI1emic and likely to have short and un- pleasant life, they ran into trou- ble. A judge of the Court of Special Sessions, known for his unortho- dox comments, remarked that New York does not need any advice from Connecticut about it's trees. Why, he said, i've might sa well ring in somebody from Cuba or some place."
 The background of the contro- versy over trees in Fifth avenue is difference of opinion among New Workers as to whether the avenue should become a tree-lined boule- yard or remain a barren highway

The latter claim that dc. spite the carbon monoxlde spewea from thousands of exhaust pipes, despite the solid rock that under" lies the avenue, despite the steam mains, water mains, gas mains, elee- tric service conduits, and who knows whatever other interferences with root growth there may be, the soil of Fifth avenue is as rlch as thht or the fertile meadows of Connecti" cut, All our tree experts tried to say was that that Is not so, and being not SO, trees on the avenue are sad examples of mans cruelty to helpless Should-be forest mon- archs, or something.
 Tn fact, to most rural dweiiers there is nothing in New York, ex- cept the railroad, whether Fifth avenue or RiVington street, has scant further appeal once 1t has been looked over. Even its annoyed jIoge one can believe, must enjoy getting away from 1t as much as anyone else does who has to stay there because duty 50 demands. But In this matter of trees, the Judge lets fanatical civic patriotism upset tu- dicial boise. Connecticut aIborists, like any Connecticut experts, go to New York only because sonae- body calls them there. They tell New York what they think only because New York seeks sound ad- vice.

"Is a man deeply In love with his wife when he says, She's the best little woman in the world9' "-Al- bert Edward Wiggam In the Boston Globe,

 sink,
 The cellar pane perpetually cracked, The kitchen switch that always has

 The drain In which a gill or two

 spade, The walk that somehow, never gets
 on edge,
 The hottleneck that's in the roller
 shade;
 And then again It's like the furnace

 sticky clutch. It's not the parlance heard in
 spouses dreams, It doesn't, I'll admit, amount 70

 And, yet, like the annoyances above, It's part and parcel of the days or

WASHINGTON CPD - Dele. gates to the United Textile Work. CTS (AFL) convention have called on their local unions to take pOliti. cal action in influencing their state and congressional representatives urging the establishment of legis. lative standing committees through. out the union.
 Acting on the resolutions committee report, the convention expressed op- position to the flood of anti-labor leg lSlation now in Congress, called for support for the OPA, and called on the international officers to set up a full research and publicity bureau "as soon as possible"
 Other resolutions called for union demands in each state for cash sick ness benefit legislation like that in Rhode Island, supported the United Mine Workers (AFL) soft coal strike, and backed the British loan.
 Vice Presidents Bill HerrOd and Nicholas Collins spoke at length of the need to put more organiz. CTS into the field in the southern states, stressing the amount of the industry not yet organized and the danger from raiding by the CIO.

.Chiselers Avoid
 Trial, Not Denying Anti Rap

Thirty-three companies and 30 individuals accused of cOnspiring to rob veterans and others on the prices of artificial limbs tried to hide their guilt behind pleas of ''nOlo contendere" in Federal court this week.
 Their lawyers gave the not very convincing explanation that they were not admitting the charges, but did not desire to contest them because of the expenses of a trial"
 ''Easy Out''
 It was an easy way of avoiding dis closure of shocking testimony which the Department of Justice was ready to present.
 Judge Bower Broaddus found them guilty of violating the antitrust law and announced he would sentence them when the trial of 10 others is com pleted.
