Needs Thorough investigation

The charges against a Windham Coun- ty children'S hone superintendent are serious ones. Likewise are the claims be- ing advanced that the institution was not being managed properly and that 1t may be possible that a scandal, similar tO that revealed in Boston recently, may be revealed. Connecticut cannot afford to lave any such happenings as occurred in Boston hospitals and prompt meas ures should be taken to ascertain if there are any
 Whether or not the charges brought against the superintendent relative to his personal conduct with inmates can be proved, we don't know. But in the in- terests of the accused and the children in the home they should be pressed to the limit and the truth brought to light. Likewise there should be some pressure brought to bear on county officials, should it be proved that there was some thing wrong at the home and that such conditions had prevailed there
 The Windham county scandal might also be an incentive to other institutional heads to do bit of housekeeping. Also it might encourage legislators and county officials to do little checking on their own account. If anyone is familiar with what was revealed in Boston this winter then it is easy to imagine what could happen right in our own state. As we said above Connecticut does not want anything of this nature so let's nip it in the bud if already at that stage of growth.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-04-17
Far-Reaching Consequences

The two-to-one decision on the Federal Social Security Act by the U. s. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston yesterday IS going to cause lot of confusion and per- i1aps serious trouble When it is recalled that this was the court that put the skids under President Roosevelt's AAA and the processing taxes, which probably are still Somewhat muddled, the precarious course that lies ahead of the federal and state governments can be appreciated
 The Supreme Court of the U. s. later upheld the Circuit Courts ruling on the AAA. If it should do the same in the present case, then what's to be done about the elaborate social security ma chinery set in motion by Uncle Sam and by the states where the old age pension is to be effective. Will it mean the com plete breakdown and consequent return to conditions that prevailed prior to 1887? It's not for us to answer this ques- ton as it involves a Supreme Court rul- ing, if one is sought.
 Invasion of states rights was what the two judges who wrote the majority opin- ion in the case based their opinion on. In no uncertain words, either, the court de- clared that Congress was assuming pow CTS to which it was not entitled and that it had gone beyond it's own province i'll the Federal Security Act, three specific parts of it. We can expect that the rul- ing will be greeted with loud huzzas by those who are inimical to the Roosevelt administration, but they will be quite out c,f place if they give vent to their feelings ia this manner. This is a serious matter and must be regarded as such. Millions of people are affected by it and will await the consequences.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-04-17
Witch Hanging Exaggerated

New England has been unduly abused for, that witch, business, in the history books and in popular tradition. A min ister now protests that current movie film fails to show an essential fact-the completeness with which the American Puritans themselves repudiated witch craft.
 He points out the evidence produced by Prof Ernest Garrison of the Univer- sity of Chicago, that there were only 22 executions of alleged witches in all New England, at a time when nearly all the civilized world believed in witchcraft, and when there were about half a million ex- cautions in Europe. Moreover, the craze in Salem, Mass, lasted for only one year, whereas abroad it continued for cen turieS
 Recovery from the transient craze in Massachusetts was certainly thorough. Five years after the Salem hangings, the Massachusetts General Court (the state legfslature) ordered day of humiliation for "the late tragedy raised amongst us, and the citizens who had served as jurors in. the witchcraft cases formally con- feSsed their fault in "convicting on in- sufficient evidence" The judge likewise publicly confessed his sin. It is well to have this matter set straight
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-04-17
Japanese Air Record

" You have to hand it to the Japanese for effort and persistence. It has been said that they were nation of poor fly CTS. Successful in many other new social and economic undertakings, they were mostly unsuccessful in aviation. Now that opinion may have to be revised. Two Japanese flyers = 26-year-old pilot and a 38-year-old wireless operator-recently flew from Tokio to London, breaking the record for that trip. They made the flight, matter of $500 miles in 94 hours. The plane, by the way is entirely of Jap aneSe make.
 One remarkable flight, one excellent plane and two exceptionally competent flyers do not establish national air sys- tenn or prove a whole nations ability in this field But such success is sure to raise the level of national pride and self respect and encourage others n air achievement.

Debunked

Slowly, one by one, the miracles" with .yhich the untutored savage beguiles the visiting white man turn out to have simple, rational explanations - to be, in short, no miracle at all. One of the most famous of these is the fire-walking stunt. Natives walk barefooted over beds of glowing coals and are not harmed; and whole generations of travellers have wondered just what the secret is. Some of them have invented very hifalutin theories to explain it.
 But group of scientists recently put the matter to the test, near London, send ing group of doughty experimenters through the coals; and they report that there is no mystery to it at all, although there is something to learn about the hardness of the human foot" In other words thick skins, not magic, are the fire-walker'S secret.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-04-17

The Twentieth Century Fund commit tee, whatever that may be, has published a report urging that so-called hidden" taxes be repealed. It is interesting to read that among the hidden" taxes are sales taxes. We can understand them much better than we can hidden" taxes, term which might easily, and probably does, conceal a multitude of sins How ever, we were bit surprised to find the foundation recommending that all such taxes be replaced by personal income taxes. It argues that tax like those on sales aren't understood or appreciated by the average man. But if he has to pay an income tax to Uncle Sam and also to his state then he knows he is being taxed And if he knows he is being taxed he may feel that the government imposir" this tax needs bit more of his time.

 The idea spread until there are now 50 such projects and several hundred young men conducting them. Recently the plan has taken slightly different turn. Home communities are being asked to build houses for the students who go from their high schools to Texas A. and M Such sponsorship would be beneficial in some ways, but the students might be handi- capped in getting acquainted with those from other localities.

The idea, of course, is to cause the tax payer to address more inquiries towards duly-elected officials, state and local, to find out where the money he contributes is going. That's not bad idea, but we doubt very much if even state income tax would have the desired effect. For a time there might be some grumbling and few calls for government reform and reductions in cost, but we'd pay will ingly in few years. The best way to get lower costing government is to have it provided by those now in control of the government. If they can't be persuaded to lower the costs, nobody will.

Supreme Court with the ability to justify whichever side of a case it was easiest for him to take. This does not mean that he was looking for the easiest side. But it does mean that he is more impressionable, more cas- fly swayed.
 SlOw-SWinger
 Roberts has known the govern ment's point of view as prosecu- tor in the Teapot Dome oil cases. For a much longer period he has known the big business point of view, as a highly successful cor poration lawyer.
 Most of the time he sides with the later, but on occasion he recognizes that all is not perfect in the present economic system. Once while talking with Arthur w. Rossiter, one of his neighbors at Phoenixville, Pa. who criti- cized in vigorous language the la bor policies of a big Philadelphia manufacturer, Roberts observed:
 There's no question that we must find some way more equit- ably to distribute the national income"
 But on the Supreme Court, Rob- erts has adopted policy of run ming to the fire only after he hears the alarm. He does not believe in fire prevention. And in recent years, he has had to hear the alarms ringing jn his ears for many months before fin- ally reversing himself.
 The swing came so late that lie did not win the sympathy of the liberals whom he joined, but only riled the reactionaries whom he deserted.
 OWEN JOSEPHUS ROBERTS IS THE SWING MAN OF THE SUPREME COURT, BUT HE IS A SLOW SWINGER.
