Aviation Points Way

An important little anniversary skipped by unnoticed the other day. Pan Ameri- can Airways completed the second year of regularly scheduled commercial ocean flying in the Pacific - and wrote into the record books one of the most remarkable records in the history of aviation. Simply to add up the statistics on those two years is to miss the point of the story. It is interesting, of course, to note that the third year of ocean flying began with the 163rd scheduled flight across the Pacific, and that the Clipper planes have transported more than 3,500,000 letters, upwards of half a million tons of freight and nearly 2,000 passengers.
 Yet these figures don't tell the story. It is the less spectacular reports, which show a group of skilled technicians get ting tough job down pat, that are really significant. One of these, for a sample, is the story of how the Hawaii Clipper broke the speed record between Hono- lulu and California - and did it by add ing 450 miles to the distance flown!
 They did it with weather maps, not with mirrors. Painstaking weather surveys had shown that for this particular voy- age, a southern course far below the reg ular "great circle" would be advantage ous. So when the ship left Honolulu 1t swung off in the general direction of Samoa instead of passing Diamond Head and pointing for San Francisco
 Passengers were confused, of course, and the actual distance flown was 2860 miles, as compared with the regular 2,410 miles, But the trip was made in nine minutes less than the previous time record. thing like that tells how ocean flying has come of age, out ln the Pacific. It shows adventure being transfigured from a casual acceptance of risks to scientific exploration of the possibilities of wrestling safety and speed from the hostile elements.
 And the whole performance, the two solid years of 1t, is tremendously encouraging sort of thing - even 1T aviation as a whole leaves you cold. For here, after all, is one of the few solidly constructive movements going on in the world today. At time Wher mankind seems to be doing its best to split up into hostile camps, here is a movement that makes for unity and friendly com munication. At time when the terri ble destructive powers of the airplane are being demonstrated with grim frightfulness, aviation here is showing it's constructive possibilities.
 Our hopes for the future, when you stop to think about it, rest largely on the chance that the forces which tend to tie human society into one united, compact whole will prove stronger than the forces which are tending to disrupt and destroy it. What Pan American is doing in the Pacific is a fine, heartening illustration of the vitality which the former force can have, and the intelli- gence with which it can be directed.

Two Sides to It

State Personnel Director Harry Marsh thinks that talent is going a-begging in Connecticut. Today was the deadline for applicants for architectural jobs in the state government. These positions ranged from that of supervising architect at salary of $6,0O0 to $7,500 year all the way down to junior specification writer, $2,400 to $2,880 annually. Only a scant two or three applications have been filed for the openings. If no more were received by today Director Marsh expected to go outside the state to fill them. Which truly would be sad state of affairs.
 The obvious reason that occurs for lack of interest in the architectural world is that the jobs are temporary. This oc- cured to the Hartford Courant and it checked up to find that they were of permanent nature. It might not occur to many, outside the profession, that architects are avoiding these positions because of professional scruples. Judging by what we can unearth, though, that's the answer to the lack of interest in this state and elsewhere where such jobs have been available.
 Up in Boston architects claim that political pressure has discouraged many of the profession from working for local, state or federal governments. Down in New York the profession claims that architects do not want to be a part in building up bureaucracy that ultimately will harm the entire profession at the expense of good salaries for few chosen or select members Organized architect ural groups seem to be of the opinion that their profession is being subsidized and want no part in the process.
 And that no doubt explains the situa- tion here in Connecticut where attrac- tive jobs go a-begging and may event. ually go to Outsiders" unless return is made to allowing private architects to draw plans, specifications, etc., for all public buildings.

More Real Assets

Once again it has been stated in legal X fashion that the highways of this state are real assets in the interpretation of the public works act of 1937 Filing a demurrer to an amended complaint by the Connecticut Rural Roads Improve ment Association Attorney General Charles J. Mclaughlin asserts, "State highways and bridges, as well as state aid highways and trunk lines are real assets within the real meaning of the Public Works Act, and that the commis- sioner of public works is, therefore, acting in accordance with the authority vested in him with relation to the supervision, planning, construction, erection, altera- ton or repair of said highways and in certifying and approving for payment to the state comptroller all work, labor and materials furnished in such contracts. v
 Which to the average layman would apparently eliminate from any considera- ton of Highway Commissioner. Should this demurrer be upheld and an appeal to the Supreme Court fail to change the situation, we don't see what need there would be of continuing the office of High way Commissioner. Whether or not the office would have to be officially dropped out of the state government, we don't know. But 1t is obvious that If the At- torney Generals interpretation of the Public Works Act is the correct one, then the duties of Highway Commissioner have been usurped or transferred.
 This may have been the purpose of the Public Works Act, but If so 1t was well concealed and never announced. How ever, we've gone over this so many times now that there's nothing left to be said. The courts must decide what's what and the sooner the better we think.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-12-03

The American Automobile Association has been checking up on motorists hand signals and finds "The almost complete national breakdown in the practice of motorists giving hand signals" is responsible for many of the highway crashes of today. That's just about what this writer. has been maintaining for a long time. Time and again we have called attention to the fact that local motorists are extremely lax in signaling intentions to turn or stop. We really be- lieve that If authorities centered lot of attention on getting drivers to use their left hand and arm to signal vehicles in the rear or approaching from the front we might cut down the alarming num- Der of crashes we have today. Once every motorist has become hand-signaler, then the states should center their atten- tion on having all signals uniform

printing of thousands of copies of expensive publications, and other devices.
 The border" Germans are par ticularly close just now to the heart of the Nazis because they serve as the starting point for the policy of nationalistic expansion. The Aus landsinstitute in Stuttgart includes In the "border" Germans the pop" ulation of Danzig, 650,000 former Germans in Poland, 10000 in Me- mel, 50,000 in the provinces of Eupen-Malmedy in Belgium, l,300,- GOO inhabitants of Alsace.Lorraine, the 3,200,0 900 former Austrian South Germans, and some 10000 former Germans of the Hut territories (both of the latter belonging to Czechoslovakia), 100000 in Yugo- slavia, 260,000 in South Tyrol, and the Germarl-speaking nlinorities in Rumania and Hungary.
 To these must be added 100000 Germans" who have emigrated to non- German countries. The latter include all the so-called German Americans of the United States, the Germans in South America and South Africa, the Balts of Lettland, Lithuania and Estonia, and the for mer Germans of Hungary, Russia, Poland and other countries. All of these are claimed by National So- cialism as integral parts of the Ger man people and are used by Hitler ism as centers-when they can get the proper cooperation--for reac- tionary propaganda in all parts of the world.
 According to the Easier National zeitung," a substantial Swiss news paper, unlike those who have long been assimilated to other peoples, who think of themselves as Ameri- cans, Russians, etc., and unlike those who violently resent being drawn within the National Socialist network, who have no desire to be anything but what they are, the soc called Germans abroad are con. sidered as real Germans who have their place of abode not within the boundaries of Germany but iil some other country. National Social- ism has created great disturbance among these Germans abroad. It claims the right to lead them, 1t organizes their meetings, 1t appoints their local and district leaders, 1t seeks to control them completely in every phase of their activity Without regard to public opinion in the countries concerned, the N. &. D. A. P. (the Central German move ment for this purpose) has organ- ized these Germans abroad into groups according to country of resi- dence. There are today hfty-one such classiflcations."
 Fair.minded Americans will be sympathetic with the claim of Ger" mans that they got raw deal through the Treaty of Versailles, and there are many who believe that the best interests of the future cannot be served by deprlving Germany of a chance, if taken peacefully, to win an economic place in the sun. But medievalists who would folst the present governmental ideas of Germany upon those they can in. fluence in this country must be shown that the people of Connecti- cut will not become accomplices in such mistaken efforts.

New York has new newspaper. It's name is the New York State Journal. Does that sound familiar? Well, perhaps you're thinking of the Connecticue State Journal. However, there's a difference between the two. The N. Y. State Journal was founded to report and interpret the government of the State of New York for the information of its citizens" The Connecticut State Journal was founded for the purpose of advancing the republi- can party in this state. That's all right, too, and the c. s. J. seems to be going along all right democrats getting the tar end of the stick pretty regularly and thoroughly.

Selected Poem
THE POETASTER

tMartin Chesley in the New York Sum When try to wiite poetry
 And only accomplish rime, Somehow my soul finds curious rest,
 And an ecstasy sunblime. Stammerng out in pitiful words,
 Though haven't thing to say, Sometimes hit, but mostly l miss
 As tinker and tinkle away But suddenly, out of the darkness
 Out of nowhere at all, hear the beat of rhythm,
 The throb of a distant call, And my soul, distraught and tortured, Suddenly finds release, And dream of place called Heaven, And something that men call Peace, And the agony of living.
 And the agony of death, Are fallen away in silence,
 And the lone soul travaileth. Tn the outer space Of darkness
 Where never star can shine I see the world of illusion.
 And the wonderful world is mine, And the music surges and eddies Like waves on shoreless shore, And wake, and find have written Nothing but words, once more.

EVEN PRESENCE OF NAZI CAMP, LET ALONE IDEAS, ABHORRENT, CLAIMS
 DEVERE ALLEN
Editor, Waterbury Democrat:

Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 If the citizens of Southbury can succeed in speaking a decisive word against Fascism in Connecticut, they will earn the thanks of people as a whole throughout the state. The Idea which would be inculcated not only in the proposed Nazi camp, but through the presence of such a camp itself, are abhorrent to those who believe in democracy, peace and freedom.
 It would be pity, however, were the natural resentment against thls type of German philosophy to be al. iected indiscriminately against all Germans and those Of German descent in the United States. We do not wish Q recrudescence of jin- goism and anti-G German hatred, fot 1t is just that sort of thing, en. gendered by and during the war that produced Hitlerism and its works. Rather is 1t important to understand just what Is behind the effort to influence Germans in the United States in the direction of Fascism.
 Based on information received from abroad, reliable reports Ill the press of Europe, and in particular Q scholarly study recently made by the British Labour party, 0 picture oi Nazi control can be drawn.
 About three months ago, at Stutt- gart, a fifth congress of the Ger man Abroad" was held. At this gath' ering, steps were taken to consoli- date and unify the crusade to dom mate all those of Germant descent living in countries outside of the Third Reich. According to Nazi ideas there are about l20,000,000 "Ger- mans" in the world. Of these, more than 30O00,000 live outside Ger many. These are divided into four groups D the German people" CD the German colonistsl (0 the "border" Germans; (4 the Germans abroad. .,
 The German people" comprise all persons who were once Germans or of German descent, even down to the fourth generation, and even in- cluding citizens of, or residents in' countries which have been idepen- dent for centuries. They include. Tor instance, 6,000,00 Austrians, 3,800,- GOO Swiss, l2O00 inhabitants of Lich- tenstein, and 25O,000 inhabitants Of Luxembourg. The system by which they are classified as "GermanS' IS simple; they speak German, and arc therefore Germans, And because they are Germans, they arc under the "care" of National Socialism.
 Incidentally, If I may digress. It should be remembered that Social- ists in particular despise Hitlerism because 1t took a word which had social significance and perverted 1t Into medievalism--not to mention the brutal treatment and even mur- der of distinguished Socialists.
 The German colonists are those who have remained to live in the former colonial possessions of pre- war Germany, and to whose cult. vation in Nazl ideas much money and attention Is being devoted by powerful radio propaganda, the
