Obstinate, wilfull violators" are block Ing passage of anti-pollution laws In tho United States, said Senator Augustine Lonergan of Hartford In an address at Philadelphia last week. The senior sem ator from Connecticut Is anxious to have his bill, protecting the waterways of the nation from becoming entirely open sew CTS, passed and Is devoting considerable time and attention to 1t. He maintains that there Is 30 per cent cooperation, but that the missing 20 per cent Is what pre-. vents salutary legislation in behalf of anti-pollution. Control of pollution soon. CT or later must come; we could speed things up by aiding in the fight.

Well, after all was said and done twenty -one architects turned out for the examinations for state positions at the Capitol In Hartford last week. Up until exam. time 1t was a question If there would be any applicants, as Personnel D. rector Marsh was pessimistic a week or so ago, He threatened at that time to go outside the state to secure men for the several nice-paying jobs that were avail able. Various heads of architects groups stated that they believed 1t was mo not thst that most of them didn't care to have govern ment jobs where they would be forced to become part of a political organization. However, civil service requirements in this state should take care of that part of 1t very nicely. And the state jobs are supposed to be permanent ones, not just created for the moment.

Legion of Decency

Catholics were urged at all their churches In this country Sunday to renew the Legion of Decency pledge. This has been the greatest blow at indecent and immoral stage and screen productions that we have witnessed in this age. It has proved of considerable value in elevating the general tone of screen plays and 1t must have been noted that this year iS Is the intention of those promulgating the Legion to include stage shows in the boycott. Where the Legion was concerned originally and primarily with what ap- peared on the screen, 1t now takes In all stage productions.
 In another year we can expect that these two forms of entertainment will find third, and newer one, in their midst, striving to present q clean face and at the same time protesting that 1t merely reflects the will and whim of q great public We refer to the radio in- dustry. It hasn't yet met with any re. buffs on the ground of immoral or i1de. cent presentations, but they're fin the offing and the moguls who direct the great air shows will have to tend to busi- ness if they don't find themselves coming in for considerable criticism in less than c year
 We wouldn't be surprised if q popular Sunday night show might find a mock Garden Of Eden kit, in which one Of the characters was portrayed bv . scrcer &C.,

MENTAL DERELICTS", MUM. sKULLs"-YEP, THAT'S WHAT HE CALLS FEM
 TAao 1a iAa7
Dec. l3, 1857,

Editor, Democrat:
 It is time tho story was told Of how tho bJi mental derelicts spoken of as numskulls and known as met,i- bers of Congress are wrecking our country.
 Wrecking this, tho richest country in tho world for natural resources and for tho variety and abundance of the products of the soil, wreckins it for the men and women in it, wreeking 1t for tho boys and girls who go trooping to school. wreck. ing It for tho babes in arms and wrecking it for the unborn.
 The inquiBitors were constantly planning new means of torture, 50 when tho B3i infest Washington they are constantly passing laws to deprive the people of their freedom and to take from the people the few dollars they have not already taken.
 When the people of the South Seas saw a pirate ship approach their shores they trembled. When 1t was known that the 63i were to Do in Washington November 18th. 1887. knowing the damage they had already done to our country, the nation Shuddered.
 All tho advancements of OUT country have come from savings. The money saved by manufacture CT has served to enlarge his bus. mess and has enabled him to buy ,.a.., s.aa oSai i,aa aux, aaJl1asA SaAAAAh and to keep his business going through dull times and to keep his working men employed.
 The savings of the people have enabled them to own q home and to educate their children. When the people were allowed to keep their savings hopefulness abounded, but now their savings are taken away from them and despair hos come 'n its place.
 Wherever l go ! hear women, as well as men, say there iS no use Of trying to save for # we save any, thing t will Dc taken away from Us by officeholderS,
 If fiends out of hell had got cOns trol of our country and decided to wreck t in the shorteSt possible time, they could not have gone at it in any more certain way to achieve that result than by taking the savings Of the people away from them.

Unholy Spectacle

snectacle of the Waterbury Republican rehuking the Hartford Courant for criti' cism of the Ku Klux Klan's part in the southbury Nazi bubble, the last exposed bv The Waterbury Democrat, must cause general laughter among members Of the Republicn party in Connecticut.
 Spectacle of the Republican, itself tarred with stigma of starting the fuss over the German American Bund camp and then getting out from under" when The Democrat made known one or the influences behind private protest, point. Inc to %small town indignation ana journalistic clamor -. find The HartIoru Courant amused" ., must cause general laughter among persons Of all parties Ill the state.
 But spectacle of the Republican today standing sponsor to the thought that the Ku KluX Kan might be revived m Southbury as an instrument, with Com- munists, against the Bund project ceases to be a laughing matter. Every right. thinking citizen In the country must find such suggestion repugnant to the point of nausea and the fact of It's source strange commentary on what the Republi- can party's organ must have In mind TOT racial warfare when next the Issue of the polls Is made.
 Consider the Republicans editorial stand: "If It means marching cluo against marching club with partial re- yival of such Klan spirit as ever got root cd In Connecticut hills, and with apolo. eists for Communism lending as much encouragement as they dare, this VIII lead perhaps to deplorable incidents, but with whom fundamentally to blame7"
 Who, indeed, will be to blame? Not the Waterbury Republican, of course, which, at the start of the journalistic clafnor" about the Bund camp at South. bury. received letter from Carl Nicolay, Bund organizer, thanking "the editor and his two young men" who first visited the camp site and came back to Water bury to undertake such protest as finds the Republican aligned with the Ku KluX Kian, the Communists and some whose records give them passing degree m the school of rabble.rousing.
 True, the Hartford Courant became involved when one of It's editors, head of the Amerlcanizatlon committee Of veterans group, sent a Hartford lawyer to sec George A. Holmes, eX-Klansnan from Naugatuck, offering the latter a trip t. Washington to make protest before Congressmen. But The Courant back. tracked when exposure of MT. Holmes as Klansman by The Democrat cast some doubt over the American" background of his United Americana.
 And now the Republican rebukes the Courant for taking editorial leave Of a controversy In which the Republican fore- sees revival of such Klan spirit as ever got rooted in Connecticut hills".
 The Democrat offers It's sympathy to the Republican for the attack of editorial "hot.foot" which the LeavenWorth street crusader has encountered in It's treatment of the Southbury affair. But The Dem- ocrat cannot sympathize with the Re- publican's suggestion for revival of Klan spirit; nor can any other who would make the cause of real AmericariSm his own.

Another extension has been added to the Hutchinson River Parkway Last year 1t was extended to the New York Connecticut state line, where 1t joins the almost-ready Merritt Parkway. Now Q two-mile addition links the parkway with the Boston Post Road at the WestcheSter County line. Another extension will ulti. mately link the parkway with the Bronx Whitestone Bridge. And by that time we can put in our oar by saying the Merritt Parkway Is the main extension in Connec- ticut.

 Dead DOdO
 Only one thing is keeping the A. F. of Leo. I, o. negotiations alive - neither camp wants the onus of breaking them off.
 As far as the rival leaders are concerned, their peace parleys are dead as e dodo. Privately, they admit this frankly. But the last thing they desire is to be smeared with the blame for torpedoing the dove.
 So the original delegations will meet again December 2l and 70 through the motions of dick cring. But they will go no- where. To avoid open confess sion of failure they will either appoint subcommlttecs or ad- journ to another date for "fur- ther discussions.
 The last rapprochement hope was sunk at the Green-Lewis talks. Lewis proposed that the 0. I. O., with its full voting strength, re.enter the Federation fold and that Q convention be held to: (D thresh out agree ments on conflicting unions; (@) decide the question of the power of the A, r, of l.. executive coun- oil. Green was inclined to be friendly to the plan, but the craft union rulers of the executive coun oil hit the ceiling.
 "Before mako peace with Lewis on such terms" roared William Hutcheson, burly head of the carpenters, "I'll take my organization out of the Fedora tl0n!"
 "That goes for me too." snapped Arthur Wharton, boss of the machinlsts and the ablest of Federation command.
 Between them. Hutcheson and Wharton control about half of the membership of the A. F. of l.. For them to walk out would be e death-blow to the Federation. So there was nothing left for Green to do but to inform Lewis tho deal was off, Thate nded their discussions.
 Green didn't go into details on the reason for tho ttrndoWn. He didn't have to; they were obvious.
 Readmlssl0n of the c. !. o. with full voting strength would give lt practical dominance of Q convention. That would mean finish for Hutcheson, Wharton and the other craft-union lead- CTS as the whip-c crackers of the A. r. of L.
 Having no intention of volun- tarily relinquishing their reins, they shouted . loud and cnpha- tic mo" to Lewis proposition.
