THUNS ARE DOWN ON PROPAGNDISTS Rotarians Express Disapproval of Using Their Club Five minute speakers, self invit. ed, professional uplifters and propa- gandists, speakers, advertising those who use the civic clubs for the purpose of selling their particular project, usually with a thinly dis- guised purpose of collecting funds or laying the foundation for future funds, were severely criticised at the meeting of the Rotary club today. The subject was opened by George K. Macauley, chairman of the club speakers' committee. Mr. Macauley explained that while it ‘was difficult to get speakers on sub- Jects of common interest, there are plenty of free speakers on partisan subjects. He severely criticised “ad- vertising spea " who, he said, “invariably have their own line which they hope to put before the ctub and to get beyond the club and into the press, thereby giving them that much more publicity.” He referred to the fact that this is & problem now confronting all the clubs, “especially these five minute speakers,” and said speakers who wish to advertise their business should be barred from all clubs. He called attention to the fact that many clybs bar advertising talks in their by-laws. “The civic clubs of New Britain are not the place for speakers who do their own advertising,” he added. Mr. ‘Macauley called attention to the attendance records of New Brit- ain civic clubs and said the reason for it is because of these propa- ganda speakers, who are not popu- lar with the members. “We must give the boys comething that will satisty them,” he said. He suggested that the club devote one week to a musical entertain. ment, one to the boys’ work pro- gram, one to an All Rotary pro- gram and one to getting a celebrat. ed speaker such as Dr. Irving Fish- er, Dr. S. Parkes Cadman or men of that type. “The reputation of the Rotary club has been somewhat in arrears, because of these propaganda speak- ers” sald Judge B. F. Gaffney. “They should not be received by this club and we don’t care to hear them. Once in a great while on a special occasion a propaganda epeaker s worth hearing, but not very often and we ought not to be imposed upon by speakers of that kind. “Affairs in India or Greenland do not interest us here very much. We can get good local speakers on local subjecti ith which we ought to be familiar and to which we pay too little attention.” Ernest W. Christ said: “I do not approve of people who come here with something to sell.” He ex- plained that he did not always ex- pect to be pleased with the speaker, realizing that one man cannot please everyone, but added that there was enough ability in the club member- ehip to speak in an interesting man- per on subjects of local interest. Dugald McMillan said he would like to hear more local speakers. Henry Washburn, the only man to take exception to the recommenda- tions, defended the speakers who ad- vertise their own project so stren- uously that several friendly argu- ments followed the meeting. Mr. [Washburn referred to a professional eformer and another five minute speaker with a personal ambition, vho have addressed the club recent- ly, expressing his opinion that their projects were worthy ones Rev. Willlam H. Alderson, presi- nnounced that the subject taken up again at a meet- of the directors. Boys from the Washington school baseball team, who won the cham- pionship in the Rotary league, were present and were given sweaters by [Noah Lucas, chairman of the boys’ vork committee. Rev. Mr. Alderson spoke briefly to the boys, defining the meaning of rue sportsmanship. He told the o 0l€ ZEST boys & good sport never takes ad- vantage of an opponent or never ives an alibi. Mr. Lucas thanked the umpires and score keepers in the league and thanked especially Gerald McCort, league manager. AUTO FIGURES IN WATERBURY TRIAL (Continued from First Page) man's hat flames. When the flames were out Beland said the man snatched the hat from him and ran around the corner of East Liberty street to the billboard where he lay down. Beland said he then ‘wept to the south side of the building and tried without success to kick in a door. At this point a gray haired man came up. The witness could not fdentify him as Edward F. Carmo- dy who testified several days ago. The witness continued by saying that he went into a doorway and helped a woman and two girls out of the hallway. Beland on cross examination said as he came up East Liberty street he saw a car going at a fast speed. He said it was a blue touring car with the curtains up. He admitted that he told the coroner that the man driving the car must have been drunk or crazy because he was go- ing so fast. Is Cross Examined Attorney John H. Cassidy, for the defense, asked the witness where he got the gust of wind idea and Beland sald he was sure he heard it. Attorney Cassidy asked him if he told the coroner about hearing a gust of wind and the witness said he couldn’t remember. He said that he can not recall being examined by the state in May, but said he was talked to this morning.

Beland said that after the sound of the gust of wind he heard the large boom of an explosion. He said he looked at a clock in a store window at Bouth Main and East Liberty streets and it was 1:50° when he passed there. Beland said that he didn't tell the coroner that he heard two explo- sions. Attorney Cassidy at this point said he would like to refresh the witness' memory and told Attorney Lewis to look to page 100 of the coroner’s finding. Attorney Cassidy asked the wit. ness if he hadn't told Coroner John T. Monzani that he had heard a “boom-boom" one right after the other. Beland didn't recall adding that at the time of the investiga- tion before the coroner he was very nervous. He finally said that he be- lieved he had said there were two explosions. Sen.
