university but his 68 years couldn’t prevent him from giving his native state of Connecticut a few lessons in statesmanship Today he still is receiving congratulations on one of the most astonishing victories In the November elections He is the first Democratic governor-ele- ct in 20 years the oldest of the neW chief executives and the youngest in point of political experience Never before had Dr Cross even considered running for office His entire career has been in the field of education He is internationally known as a literary historian one of the greatest of critics editor of the Yale Review the quarterly devoted to learning and letters which he has conducted since 1911 and as an author and editor of works dealing with eighteenth and nineteenth century English literature Last June as the result of an arbitrary university rule regarding age limits he was retired as Dean Emeritus of the Yale Graduate school And it was in the same month at a meeting of Democratic leaders that he was asked to make an address in the absence of a scheduled speaker “Just say nothing Doctor” the committee told him ’apologetically “We’ll put you on at the end of the program” SPEECH WON ATTENTION The crisp old New England scholar spoke for less than five minutes Though personally dry he attacked prohibition The next morning he awoke to find the morning papers mentioning his name as likely gubernatorial material “I had no idea at the time that anything would come of it” said Dr Cross “I made no move to secure the nomination” But he got it by unanimous acclamation a few months later and lost no time in going into action He knew exactly what he wanted to do Prohibition and machine government were the issues He knew exactly who he wanted to manage his campaign too and began by demanding the resignation of two Democratic state central prominent committeemen When the organization balked he threatened to decline the nomination The organization capitulated They tell how a group of politicians made an appointment with Dr Cross for a long conference in which they would impart to him their plans 'for the campaign- He listened for a few moments put in a few terse suggestions told il - brown derby A1 Smith once gave him and spoke a few conventional word of thanks But to a group of friends he said: “Wouldn’t have taken it if it hadn't been an uphill fight Big normal Republican majority to overcome Didn’t think I had much chance” INTERESTED IN POLITICS “My personal interest in politics dates back to the time when I was 6” he later explained “That was in' ’68 Seymour and Blaine tne Democratic candidates were represented by ‘the boys in white’ and Grant and Colfax by ‘the boys in blue’ The pageantry of the thing delighted my imagination I can remember the heated discussions around the country store in Mansfield where I lived “My first vote at 21 wfas cast for Grover Cleveland in 1884 I can remember the college debates Classmates thought I would be a professor of law or of politics and I was called ‘senator’ Still am in fact by my old friends” As a professor of English how ever first at the Sheffield scientific school and later at the Yale graduate school he was affectionately called “Uncle Toby” because of his long classroom association with that character in English romance After his his nomination in September nickname changed to “governor’ and it would have stuck tos friends say even if he had not been elected “My work at the university and with the Yale Review always was too demanding to permit any ac live part in politics”

feasibility of a tunnel under the Straits of Gibraltar to connect Spain and North Africa is beginning to believe the project is less fantas-tic than it sounds Luis de Pena head' of the commission has said that if the final analysis proves favorable the engineering difficulties would not be so great 'as the problem of raising enough money to finance such an undertaking He estimated for The Associated Press that several hundred millions of dollars would be required Lt Col Pedro Jevenois another member of the commission has become an enthuiastic supporter of the scheme He believes that construction of the tunnel Is only a question of time PROJECT CONCEIVED The project was conceived about 75 years ago by a French engineer Laurent de Villedeuil It has since been considered by engineers of Spain England France and some other countries but in each case when tests were made there was wide divergence of opinion as to actual experimental results The present commission was appointed by the Spanish ‘government in an endeavor to resolve these doubts one way or the other The commission laid out its work in two main fields First geological strata were to be explored and second data was to be assembled regarding water conditions In the Straits are In testing the rocks two wells disOne is a short being sunk tance outside of this city while the other is about 18 miles

constructed by Belgian company although all work is under a Spanish government subsidy Geological experts will compare the strata tapped by the two wells and if they are identical the conclusion will
