A Mailed Fist

The Sob-siSterS were at work immedi- ately after the big gun-battle up at Bangor, Maine in which a squad ot G-men and other enforcement agents, local and state, riddled the bodies of two erstwhile gangsters so thoroughly that they expired on the spot - the middle of Bangor's busiest street. There were cries of shame" and yes, even coward" directed at the police Why we don't know? They executed duty and in convincing fashion. It has already been remarked upon by U. s. Congressman that with such gun battle taking place there is no recorded instance of by- stander being wounded by stray bullet.
 We don't agree with those people who think that the two slain gangsters should have been given chance and not ambushed the way they were. They re- ceived a dose of their own medicine, so necessary If gangsters are to be wiped out in the United States We sincerely believe that instances like that one in Bangor, Maine, will do more to curb the enthusiasm of youths who are halfway down the ladder of crime than the most powerful sermon that the most eloquent preacher in our land could deliver
 New York's police commissioner has Teen vigorously criticised for his orders of several years ago In which he told police men to rough up" criminals when mak- ing arrests or bringing them in on suspicion or actual charges. Unfortu- llately most people have not been hard- cned in the same school as our police commissioners and laW-enforcement au- thorities. Face to face with crime in It's worst forms day after day, watching one days progress lost in the tWinkling of an eye, we doubt If our peace-lovers would stick to their guns to the end.
 The Brady gang was responsible for at least four known and semi-verified mur- ders Their victims didn't receive letters notifying them to be prepared and to see that their wills were drawn up prior to reception of the speeding bullet. And who knows the track of crime they left of which we may never know or the crimes for which they may be indirectly responsible by showing other unfortu- mates how to become public enemies. We can see only one real sure way to rid the nation of gangsters who are travelling arsenals - they must be moved down by the police or dispatched to the execution chamber. The former route is the more certain today.

Biz Brother Role

The Scrap of Paper" incident of early World War days remains too fresh In the memory of the world to permit much credence in Germanys "big brother" pledge of Belgium's neutrality in event Of western European war. Echoes of war machines rumbling across devastated Belgian fields drown out the pleasant platitudes Reich spokesmen voice in proclaiming lasting friendship and un- dying faith with their western neighbor Tacitly, seeking every advantage to pro- tect herself Belgium has accepted the pledge-somewhat tongue-ln-check-bu awaits developments to test It's fulfill ment.
 Not wholly altruistic was Germany's promise to respect the territorial rights of neutral nation and to defend her un- threatened sovereignty. Hitler eyes covetously the lands of western Russia. If Germany is to be deprived of colonial possessions, on other continents, more attractive lands are nearer, more ac- cessible. With Belgium a neutral buffer between French and British armies and her own western border, Der Fuehrer secs opportunity to concentrate his growing military machine on eastern objectives.
 Treaties bind France and Russia in case of aggression, but Hitler discounts French assistance If his ancient enemy Is forced to fight along the narrowed battle line between Belgium and Switzerland. To check France and throw the main weight of his army against an eastern front is Hitler's all-too-apparent aim.
 Turning to policy of strict isolation in future European conflicts, Leopold III, worthy successor to a hero king, sees little return from devastating war that cost Belgium more than 93,000 men. Last April he asked and was granted release from the Locarno pact, by France and Great Britain, retaining, however, obliga- tions of the League of Nations against aggressor nations.
 And herein lies the danger. For as a member of the league, Belgium might be obliged to enforce sanctions against her newly found friend, in which case Ger. many - according to the terms of the latest agreement in ease "BelOi''r1 Hhniilh

His Stand Already Taken

Congressman Alfred N. Phillips has asked Governor Wilbur L. Cross to state his position on the public power issue in New England. The Stamford legislator has just forwarded telegram to the gov- ernor in which he urges him to go on record as standing side by side with President Franklin D. Roosevelt on the question of cheaper electric light and power rates" We don't presume to speak for the governor on this subject, but we do know that the governor as well as many other public officials in New Eng land are vitally concerned over the et- forts of the Roosevelt administration to attach power plans to flood control pact.
 After all what Connecticut, Massachu- sets, Vermont, and New Hampshire authorities are concerned with is some means to curb the flood waters of the Connecticut and Merrimac Rivers. We thought that everything was all ready for launching an ambitious, if rather eX- pensive, plan whereby the Connecticut River valley would be assured of flood control, thus eliminating any repetition of the 1936 scenes of disaster. But If these plans are to be dependent on fed. eral control of all power rights in the valley then the states are going to do a little complaining.
 If Governor Cross must commit him. self on the subject of government owner ship of electric utilities he has big field to discuss Uncle Sam is going into the electric power business in many sections of the country; he may eventually be in that field right here in New England. But right now state officials are con- cerned not with expansion of this govern ment activity but with federal govern ment cooperation in providing flood con- trol. If this must be linked with electric power generation, then we are sacrificing state control for government monoply.

Yesterday was quite day for Joseph w. AlSop of Avon. It marked the 20th anniversary of his appointment to the Public Utilities Commission of Connecti- cut. On this date, back in 1917, he was named by Governor Marcus H. Holconb to fill the unexpired term of the late John H. Hale of Glastonbury. He has been reappointed at six year intervals regularly since then, his last one coming during the 1887 session of the General Assembly. However, 1t wasn't until he had served twenty years that Mr. Alsop had his salary as Public Utilities commissioner raised to the same figure as that paid his fellow members, Alvan Waldo Hyde of Hartford and Edward L. Taylor of New Haven, namely $o,000. For some unex- plainable reason MT. Alsop, the veteran of the board has only been getting $6,000, while they have been receiving $0,000. The discrepancy has just been made up by order of the Personnel Advisory Com. r1ittee
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-10-21

If newspapers are not c little excess sive in their praise of appointment to public offiee. Apparently the Danbury contemporary does not question that MT. Smiths appoint. mont merits widespread approval, for it goes on to say that he iS fully qualified.
 Tho point it makes seems to be that tho people at large are less aware of that fact than Tho Times seemed to think.
 That very likely Is true aS far aS concerns all Of tho million and 0 half of people who compose the States population. Not many men arc widely known in that sense However, the State has had aS good an opportunity to become aequaint- cd With the qualifications of MT, Smith, as it has witll these Of most mon who are named for public offiee. lie was considerably In tho limelight when Governor Gross sought to fame him as Public util- files Commissioner and there was general discussion ih the State newspapers of his character and peculiar fitness for the post,
 That was In the early dfys Of Governor cress' tenure, wfsn the Republican organization, aStonished aS tho presumption of tAo people in having presumed to elect 6 Demo- erat rather than 6 Republican aS Governor, sought to put that dev. ernor in his place by demonstrat- Ing that the Republican organlsa- . ton proposed to continue to run the Dtate regardless of him, So it rejects ed his nomination of MT. bmith.
 Since that time many things have happened, For one, the Republican organization has learned 6 great deal, ft Is not 50 keen today to UuFn down everything 6 foursterm oev- ornor suggests It even accepts hiA merit system and other parts of the program he has advocated since ne LOOK office,
 It b to Do imagined that If the Governor were to nominate Mr. Smith for the Public Utilities cem- mission today, the Republican re- eeption of t..s idea would Do quite different.
 However all that may Dc, the agi- tatien at the time eentered attehs ton upon MT, Smith suffieiAntly se that the State had more than usual opportunity to familiaFiSe itself with his fitness for public service, Upon that basis we think it Is Fea- sonable to suggess that approval yf his recent appointment may perhaps be more general than our Danbury neighbor feels that 1t, can eoneede.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-10-21

Oddly enough MT. Alsop's tenure of office was threatened some years back when Governor Cross wanted to name democrat to the board. Richard T. Higgins was then chairman of the board. Mr. Alsop's term expired in 1881 and at the legislative session that year Cover nor Cross offered the name of Richard J. Smith, then a resident of West Hart ford and an avowed expert on public util- ity law. MT. Smith was member of the Yale University faculty at the time. The nomination was assailed by republicans and due to the fact that they still ruled the roost, save the governors office they forced the withdrawal of the nomination and Commissioner AlSop was treasured of his office.

Great Mistake-0r Great Discovery?

 Prof. Rhine has been exploring tM misty borderiand of the humar mind, trying to find out whether such things as telepathy and clair Voyance have anything ii them whei subjected to rigorous scientific analysis. His verdict, offered tentR- lively but backed by . wealth Of evidence, is that they have--pienty.
 Specifically, he and his co-WoFk. CTS ct Duke sought to learn whether the human mind can receive sensa- tions through other means than the Ave senses. They conducted their tests by means Of decks Of cards bearing Ave kinds Of inscrip Hons. Some hundreds Of people were asked to identify the cards blindiy. merely by looking at the back Of the deck--- or, ifl some Cageg, without even Sees ing the deck ct All
 The results were astounding. About one person in i've could Identify tho cards with c far higher record Of success than the laws of chance would allow. After thousands and thousands of tests, Pref. Rhine is satisfied that there is some power -- extra-gefiBory perception, he calls it--by which the brain Can receive Impressions without the aid Of any of the senses. ,b A.b/5' ,l|'
