 Wisconsin Republicans are learning that to play on religious prejudices in Q political campaign is dangerous business. To woo Catholic support against Governor Phil LaFollette, the COP attacked his brother Bob for voting for Justice Hugo Black and for sign- ing last springs congressional message of greeting to the Span- ish Loyalist parliament. But the tactics boomeranged when 1t was disclosed that Julius Hell, Repub- lican candidate for Governor, was an apostate Catholic and Fred Zimmerman, nominee for Secre- tary of State, was a one-time Klansman ..

THE TRIAL GOES TO NEW
 HAVEN
(Hartfc. d Courant)

(Hartfo. Il Courant)
 Not Hartford but New Haven will be the scene of the trial of Mayor T. Frank Hayes, former controller Daniel Leary and their associates on charges of having conspired to defraud the city of Waterbury. Al- though Judge Simpson agreed with MT. Alcorn that facilities in Water bury are not adequate for trial that will run for several months, he did not agree that the trial should be, removed from the county in which the crimes are said to have been committed.
 The Judge did not go into the question of whether or not a fair trial could be obtained in Water bury. Certainly the selection of a jury there would have been more difficult than 1t should be in New Haven, which, although in the same county, is sufficiently removed from the locale of the scandals to be rel- ativeiy immune from the intense feeling that they aroused. Perhaps bItG HkkktVoYuCxG UA 44hktA010 WVdah have been still more conducive to 8 calm trial, but there are good rea- sons why a change of venue from one county to another should not be granted save in the most extra ordinary circumstances. The right of 6 defendant to a fair trial implies the right to be heard where the charges were made unless conditions make . fair hearing utterly inlpos- sible.
 The removal to New Haven leaves only the fixing Of the date as the final preliminary to trial that has already made history for Coiinecti- cut. When 1t opens. the elections will be all over, and the political effect of the charges will have been reg istered. The primary objective then should be 6 trial so ably conducted and so fairly heard that no doubt can be entertained as to the justice of the verdict

Waterbury's athletic field on Water town Avenue is rapidly approaching the state where a person can actually see what tremendous project this really is With the stands right on the thorough fare, we think that in few years the ath- letic field will be attracting great crowds to the various school contests, just as they did years ago when everyone stood up and enjoyed it, too. Children of this gen. eration not only seem wiser than those who went before them, but they're get ting more advantages, too.

Just read that in some sections of the state light and power service is still inter- rupted as result of the September hur- ricane. It's hard to believe that over here in Waterbury where service was out only few days at the most. We thought that was bad; what would we do if deprived of lights for a month Sure, we'd get used to 1t, but there'd be a lot of grumbling with the process of returning to early-day means of illumination. The Naugatuck Valley is a remarkably sheltered spot in which to live. We wonder that this is not stressed more when influencing persons where to live or manufacturers where to buy.

Selected Poem
OCTOBER RIDE
Cape Cod)

Cape C0d) Enid Goss Lowe in the Christian Science Monitor) Today the autumn valley cups deep blue lake, And among the warm gray stones The blueberry bushes make Red patches on the hill. Atop the distant rise, steepled church Cleans white And here along the roadway Low-roofed. silvered cottages Are shuttered bright. This is where with quickening chatter We will cross the village street And canter fast where cranberry bogs are spread Like mulberry velvet rugs. and turn Into little sandy lane that winds Where the bayberry bush is pungent, sweet For overhead The muted shrieking of sea gulls Is calling us from the patterned countryside, And, as always, It Is seaward that we ride: Gulls that are wind-tossed inland CaIl us to the white-necked sea Past bright green pines And oaks low-spread Tn rich rose-madder tapestry.

A Book a Day
Childs Examines Labor. Democracy

A mid much talk of democracy as @ theoretical ideal or as an elus' i've abstraction, Q book on real, basic democracy at work with its sleevea up is worth reading today. Marquis W. Childs, who introduced the Scandinavian countries as the locale of something more vital than fjords c"The Middle Way'c has produced the latest result of his study of those countries in This Is Democracy" (Yale University Press: $250).
 Democracy is something more than parliamentary government. It is a democratic way of life, social, economic, and political. Chiids' book has more scope than it's subtitle, collective Bargaining in Scandi- navia," might lead one to think.
 It is the place of an organized |'lahor movement in a democratic so- ciety that occupies Childs' attention. The labor movement in Scandinavia has risen to power, both economic and political, and yet has realized that 1t must exercise that power with due regard for the welfare not OAtAy 0A 4to VWAA A4AGAAk0EA0 gat VA AAA clements of society. It is labor movement that has realized that perhaps its only chance to better the income of it's members is to help them increase their production, the world being what it is. Chapters on the Household Assistants Trade Union, on farmer-labor cooperation based not on phrases but on practi- cal willingness to help one another, and on the ingenious streamlined drive to organize white-collar em- ployes. make this book distinctly worth reading. -e.
 Indexed and illustrated by fine photos. Childs' work is scarcely light reading, but is 6 must" for those interested in the labor move ment and in democracy in the more inclusive sense of the word.--W. T

In New York
BY GEORGE ROSS

New York, Oct. 28-We told the story of the man who built Q house and forgot to include stairway and that reminded some or our friends of other preposterous cases of absent-mindedness. Architects who designed the Music Box Theater here, for ex- ample, forgot to build a box-office, probably the most important fea- ture of a playhouse. And when the mammoth International Casi- no was erected on Broadway, the builder simply forgot about dress ing rooms, although the show ac- commodities a couple of hundred performers. And when the Main Station of the New York Post Office was unveiled, an official throng was chagrined to learn that every thing was complete except in one detail-a mail chute for city de- livery had been ignored.
 MTG recently made elaborate preparations to launch his care, the Midnight Sun, and an hour after he opened, he was shocked to find out that he couldn't sell liouor because 1t was Primary jDay. We went to a press preview at a place the other day where they had forgotten to set aside tables and chairs for newspaper men. It is an open secret that the New York Athletic Club was erected sans heating equipment because someone had overlooked it. - !
 A huge dance ballroom, now demolished, once opened around here without a coatroom wherein lies all the profit. Someone didn't think of it. that's all. Surprise!
 The other night, Q well-dressed young fellow stepped out of a night club, approached the chauffeur Of a waiting limousine and said: sYour boss told me to tell you to drive me to Brooklyn" The chauf- feur opened the door; the man clambered in.
 Three hours later, when the chauffeur returned, he found his employer at the curb in q fury. Who 1 told who what? He never had even heard of the strangerl
