If there Is one point in the present
state liquor laws that could provoke an
argument here in Waterbury, 1t Is the
section dealing with exits from establish
ments, dealing in liquor. On several
occasions the office of the Fire Marshal
has commented in reports on the danger
in forbidding taverns to keep rear exits
open. They must be not only closed and
locked, but sealed, according to the liquor
commission. In fact, there have been
revocation of licenses because investi-
gators found such doorways open or not
properly sealed. Whether or not this
could be considered violation Of local
fire ordinances remains to be seen. We
hope some day that there may be test
made of this particular ruling. We have
had instances here where it did harm; we
expect to see more if the commission in
sists on retaining the regulation and en-
forcing it as rigidly as it does right here
in Waterbury.

Waterbury unfortunately has been
drawn into the unfavorable cloud Of pub
licity relative to mans brutality that has
enveloped this nation In recent days.
Never have the front pages carried so
many terror tales. We sincerely trust
that this phase will pass quickly and that
sanity will overpower the forces Of evil
which have caused bloodshed and suf-
fering. It is no mark of civilization and
the sooner erased the better off we'll be.

Selected Poem
DEEP SEA CAPTAIN

.uth Lambert Jones IN the New York SUM
When he was boy
His days were spent
With his fathers ships
In the Orient,
Rummaging through cargoes,
Scampering over quais.
Swinging on the pigtails
OF the bland Chinese.
When he was q man,
With ship for lass.
It was Antwerp to Boston
with window glass:
Shanghai. Singapore,
Lisbon, all
Heard his wtnches'
MadrigaL
And now,
with gales behind him,
And all his seagulls
Flowers,
He uses oars
For fence posts
And sails
For haycock covers.

Soviet Aviator Believes Party
 Dead in Arctic
Belief Prevails However, Russian American Airline Will Be
 Established Few Years
(By The Associated Press)


 MOSCOW, Russia, Dec. 10, - Death in the Arctic is the fate suffered by Russian Aviator Sgi- ismund Levanefsky and his five companions who left Moscow the middle of last August on a flight to the west coast of the United States by way of the North Pole and Fairba nks, Alaska.
 Base For Search
 This is the opinion Russian Av- iator Vodoupanoff, experienced Arctic fiier, expressed today on his return to Moscow from Ru- dolph Island, the Russian base on the European side of the North Pole from which Soviet airmen have kept up a continual search for the missing aviators.
 Despite the ill-fated termina- tion of the ll-fated Levanefsky plane, Vodoupanoff said he is con vinced regular trans-polar air line between Russia and the Un- tied States will be established in a year or two as a result of the experience gained by the success ful flights made last summer be- tween Moscow and the west coast of the United States.
 Airfields Are Needed
 Establishment of this trans polar route depends partly, how ever. he asserted, on the esta- bGshment by the United States and anada of suitable airfelds on their side of the North Pole.
 Vodoupanoff declared four Rus sian planes remain at Rudolph Is land under command of Aviator Ivan Chuknovsky. They will re- s,lme the hunt for the wreckage of the Levanefsky plane as soon as weather conditions are favor able.
