Up to Cardinals

We have been reading much in the last few days of the pressure that IS being brought to bear on members of the sacred College of Cardinals, to whom will be entrusted shortly the task of naming a successor to Pope Plus XI. Many con- lectures have been made as to the next Pope of the Roman Catholic Church. There even have been suggestions and recommendations from the secular press. We don't believe such were in good taste. After all this election is purely one of the Church and not of the State, although admittedly 1t will be reflected in many states.
 Members of the College of Cardinals represent many nationa.ities and must naturally bring to Rome their own racial tendencies and thoughts. But they also come with one common feeling and un- dertsanding - that contained in the Roman Catholic Church to which they owe allegiance. In Rome newspapers have been clamoring for an Italian Pope. Other stipulations have been made. To lege of Cardinals will pay no attention as in their serious and important task they know no outside influence.
 It is most likely that Pope Plus suc- cessor will be an Italian, for choice has naturally gravitated that way in recent centuries. Many factors are considered when the Cardinals meet to elect Pope, but the worth of the candidate is above all the first considered. Race, residence are secondary to the qualities that must be found in the temporal ruler of such a great church as the Roman Catholic.

Suwanee Bells

This winter is expected to see the be- ginning of a new memorial to Stephen Collins Foster. It is to be built in north Florida on the banks of the Suwannee River near White Springs, 60 miles west of Jacksonville, and is planned to in- clude an amphitheater and carillon tower. Already a grateful nation has memorialized Foster. His birthplace IS in the Henry Ford Museum at Dearborn, Michigan.
 Pittsburgh, his native city, has a $500,- 900 shrine which houses among other things the purse Foster carried when he died, and which contained three pennies and 35 cents in "shinplasters." There also are his last scribbled words, Dear friends and gentle hearts ." found in the miserable Bowery lodging house from which he was carried to Bellevue Hospital to die Nobody ever has known whether they were the beginnings of a new song or message to friends
 Bardstown, Ky, has preserved as shrine the "Old Kentucky Home" made immortal by Fosters song and the Suwannee River already has a memorial near Waycross, Ga In world which is lionizing men of force and violence, it is certainly no bad thing to build one more memorial to the man who wrote the simple songs to which whole people turn for comforting assurance that the entire world is not scored either in march or swing time.

DUAL-JoB COMPROMISE (New Haven Journal Courier)

The compromise worked in the dual job matter by the judiciary committee between the willingness of the spirit and the reluctance of the flesh is captivating. In the serv- ice of 6 high ideal, the members now holding jobs have not alone succeeded in continuing to hold them; but have actually contrived e tariff against competition from hungry colleagues. The pledge of the Republican platform is respond ed to with some degree of accuracy for the future; but the response displays in its own texture 6 sui- cidal contradiction with respect to members holding double office on January 4th.
 The enthusiasm with which such members greet this agile concilia- ton between sin and righteousness already rings through the state. But the wrath of certain one-job leg islators rises almost high enough over principle traduced to hide their silent chagrin at such a check mate on their own more earthly as- pirations for plural preferment. We note with interest that the Gov ernor himself declines to bless the dexterously balanced contrivance which now is offered in the name of Q promise that he gave. The state in general, we suspect, will hope that if 1t can't have all 1t asks, if uyill get a soYneWhat more resDect. able half-measure than this.

The death of Dr. Wilton Everett Brit ton of New Haven was recorded in all the state papers, but much more could have been written about him than the few lines that were contained therein. Dr. Britton spent the last 38 years in the employ of this state. And certainly Connecticut has never had to regret this service that he rendered so faithfully and so efficiently Everyone naturally recalls the fine work that Dr. Britton performed in ridding our shoreline of mosquitoes But the magnitude of this work cannot possibly be comprehended. It was not something that actually could be done overnight or in a short space of time: It was hard work that took years of planning, then years of execution. He performed pioneer work in this state and he should be properly honored for it and the progress that was marked down for
 Connecticut in this field.

Two Good Plays To Be Read

Two of this seasons most success full plays have been published sepa- rately by Random House ($2). They are 'Kiss the Boys Goodby." by Clare Boothe, and Pocket to the Moon," by clifford Odets.
 Miss Boothe, as those who re- member "The Women" will recall, is c playwright who showers her characters with vitriol by means of an atomizer. In this particular case she would have done better to use Flit. A more loathsome set of people have seldom appeared before the public in any guise.
 The story concerns itself with the selection of . young lady to play the part of Velvet OToole in the cinema version of a best-selling Civil War novel. Any familiarity you may feel with that theme is justified. The action occurs during a weekend party at the home of an editor, and in spite of Miss Boothe's statements to the contrary, the idea seems to be to rip the nations trained liteyatt wide open for public ridicule.
 In this object she succeeds very well and does job worth doing. But she hasn't done 1t well enough. The people are never more than people on a stage, and while much of the dialog is amusing 1t has not yet been proved that throwing a crepe Suzette instead of Q custard pie makes the action itself any less vulgar.
 MT. Odet's play, Rocket to the Moon," is not . complete success, either. What might have been 8 great play must stand as Q good play (which is a lot) because of seemingly loose construction. These characters, however, are burningly alive, and the story of the young dentist, torn between Q bitter wife and a pretty, young assistant, is Q magnificent attempt at analysis oi a dark human passion.-E. M. T.

Increasing efforts are being made to have the state aid owners of seashore property who lost their all when the hur- ricane ripped along the Sound last Sep tember. We sympathize with these property owners, but we see in such state fargess the danger of having the state step in when a disastrous fire might sweep through a city or town. We can see the advantage of the state aiding in restoring shorefronts or helping to pro- vide buIwarks against future dangers, but aid for the individual owner should be out.

SENATOR CULHANE HOLDS THE KEY
 (Hartford Times)

In view of the impressive, uia- animous display of sentiment at the legislative hearing yesterday in favor of a popular referendum on a city, manager plan of government for Waterbury, the Cities and Boroughs Committee should have no difficulty in reporting favorably on the bill
 Officials of the Citizens Good Government League which has D. 900 members, representatives of the mercantile fiancial, industrial, legal architemtural and newspaper pub- fishing industries Of the Brass City all spoke warmly in favor of giving the citizens of that City an oppor- tunity to vote on the city-manager charter.
 Of strategic importance is the position of Senator Culhane of Wa terbury. He is firmly opposed to the city-manager plan but he favors the referendum idea. He Is quite willing that the voters of Waterbury decide for themselves what type of city government they should have. He will fight the proposed charter il it comes to a vote but he said he would support the idea that such vote be had.
 Senator Culhane is 6 member of the Cities and Borolghs Committee What might complicate the situation is the fact that he has submitted to that Committee, and at Thurs days hearing vigorously supported large number of amendments to Waterbury's existing charter which is the basis of its present strong mayor type of government.
 MT. Culhane, 8 straightforward honest fighter, has large opportun- ity for helping to place the issue of the city-manager plan squarely before the people of Waterbury ever though he believes they should vote 1t down. Those who know him best believe he will favor that course even though 1t means delaying &C., ton, should the referendum defeat the city-manager plan, perhaps un- til later in this session og the Leg islature, for his own bill of changes to the present charter. Should the referendum approve the new char ter, MT. Culhane's amendments tc the present charter would, Of course be definitely sidetracked.
 The City manager charter Is to come to a popular vote on the third Tuesday after the Governor signs

A Haverhill, Mass, inventor may revo- lutionize the automobile world. He has discovered way to eliminate the handles on automobile doors. And this is an advance in such manufacture that will be hailed everywhere. Not only have door handles been menace, but manu- lecturers have tried in every conceivable way to streamline them so that they would not protrude nor spoil the cars appearance. Centrally controlled mechanism on the dashboard operates all four doors. One or all doors can be opened simultaneously. A key opens the right front door from the outside.

the bill. While it is 8 60,0oo-word document, most of 1t is familiar material in Waterbury as the pro- posed charter was brought out first in l930 by the special Charter Com mission named by Governor Cross.
 If Senator Culhane, the Cities and Boroughs Committee and the Legislature cooperate, the citizens of Waterbury should soon be able to have Q direct voice in the future course of their government. It is fully due them in view of what has been happening in the Brass City In recent years.

Selected Poem
MORNING IN THE wooDLoT

All night the wind screamed, like sand sifted. Uneasy in his nest the squirrel shifted. The naples swayed, the high elms branches tossed. Their straining trunks groaned nwardly with frost. The grouse dug under snow, the nuthatch fluttered Deep in the hemlocks where the baked wind mutt
 tered
 Now in the morning hush the clear sky brms With light. The drifts lie curved like marble limbs The hills redden they flush, they burn with glory The squirrel chatters his old oratory. Earth shrugging fury from her shoulders takes Peace to her heart and with smile awakes.
