Ulrlch ON THE RECORD By DOROTHY THOMPSON (Continued From Editorial Page) capitalism and private enterprise, but distribution of basic necessi ties food, clothes and shelter will be largely socialized. The idea of balances and checks to power as expressed in the American Constitution will be modified into distribution of power and will have new interpretations in the economic field as well as the political. Naked power ot any kind will be regarded as the worst enemy of mankind.

Citizenship will not be achieved by birth or naturalization, but will belong only to those who can qualify for it by intelligence and integrity. It will be as hard to be a voter as to get into college, but the opportunity and training lor citizenship will be universal. Men and women will care in tensely to be respected and not at all to be rich. Nationalism will be regarded as a curious mania that possessed the human race for a few hundred years and gave rise to a number of curious and fanatical secular religions resulting in anarchy and war. Patriotism, however, will flourish in a passion to preserve values of proved creative quality and cultures of esthetic and productive worth.

There will be competition between cultures, not between nations. The fear of death and anything after death will disappear. Death will be accepted as a fact of ever continuing life. Children will come of age earlier. Youth will be briefer.

So will the working years. Wise and good old men and women will be immensely respected and will have most to say about the affairs of the Education will revolt from specialization and its goal will again be the classical objective of the creation of a. "whole man." In this, science will be integrated with a more passionately ethical religion and with philosophy. The concept of "natural rights" will have undergone drastic re vision. All rights will be attend ed by reciprocal obligations.

The basis of society will be democratic, in that there will exist for no one any a priori social, legal, racial or economic disability. But the social structure will be hierarchic. The concept of the nobleman will be revived as the embodiment of the life of effort, shorn of self interest and dedicated to the larger interests of the community. Lrovernment will be derrocratic in its base and aristocratic in its exercise, and the universi'y will be the constant re creator of the state. Hague Force 1 Defeated in Bayonne Election Newark, N.

May 10 Five avowed opponents of State Demo cratic Leader Frang Hague were returned victors today in a hotly contested Bayonne City Commis sion election which drew the heav iest vote in the history of the Hudson county municipality.

Murphy and James J. Donovan defeated the "Citizens League for Constructive Government" slate by margins running as high as 2 to 1. Hague, mayor of Jersey City, did not support a ticket in the campaign Camden voters swept the "nonpartisan league for good government" slate, headed by Mayor George E. Brunner and Mrs. Mary W.

Kobus, into office by a 2 to 1 majority over the "better govern ment" forces led by Commissioner Frank J. Hartmann, Jr. Treasury Receipts Washington, May 10, VP). The position of the Treasury May 8 compared with comparable date a year ago: Receipts, ex penditures, net balance, $3,086,798,851.38. Senator Irked by Telegrams Against Tenure Shapiro, Receiving Hun dreds, Prefers a "Quiet Conference" ACTS ARELAID OVER Declaring an hour's quiet conference could produce more in the way of adjustment of differences on the teachers' tenure law compromise than $10,000 worth of telegrams, Senator Harry Shapiro, Democratic floor leader in the Senate, renewed criticisms of methods used by teachers to bring their views on the four Senator bills to attention.

The two bills were laid over for further study after Shapiro had voiced the statement that showers of telegrams did not help much. He said he received 780 in a day. Speeches Again The Senate session ran until late evening after a demonstration by "The Live Store9' The New Senator 3. Albert Reed, Washing ton, supported by Senators Hale Sipe, Butler, and Anthony Caval cante, Fayette, because of the previous question being raised against further discussion of the newspa per management statement repealer Monday night when Reed had the floor. His statement was a declaration for free speech and at tracted much attention.

Senator G. Mason Owlett, Republican lead er, retorted the time of the session had been taken up too much by speeches and that while the Re publicans had been patient they wanted xo resume oraeny wors. Shortly afterwards Shapiro assailed the course of the majority on big bills, admitting there had been a great deal at talk, but reprimanding the Republicans for not pushing the big subjects. "1 don't care for this junk on the calendar, but I want action on such sub jects as compensation and the like," said he. Shapiro later objected to the recall of a bill from the Governor, but lost 30 to 13.

The whole Democratic course last night indicated a desire to fili buster occasionally and to do some obstructing. "Blue Sky" Change The Edmonds "Blue Sky" bill bringing the securities act down to date passed by a handy ma jority and the signing of the Tahl Hamilton fireworks bill by laeu tenant Governor Lewis practically ended that subject in the Senate. Senator Franklin Spencer Edmonds, Montgomery, called atten tion to the statement of Assistant Secretary Howard L. Russell on how many aliens were receiving relief and the small number applying for citizenship, suggesting that senators study Russell's report. The senator did not discuss the income tax amendment; it just passed it 40 to 3 and it is now up to the House.

History is repeating itself on amendments in the Senate. Senator Robert M. Miller, Luzerne, called from the postponed calendar the bills advocated by county commissioners to lessen expenses in permanent registration of voters and all passed without opposition. With partisan feeling more and more, manifest the Senate adjourned until 3 p. m.
