 KEEPS LONG
 OFFICE HOURS
 When a friend of MT. Frankfurter was asked where he supposed the new justice would live in Washing ton, he remarked "If he does the way he always used to, he'll live about g of each "A hours in his office."
 The new justice could pick a worse spot, at that. The impress sive Supreme Court building, with its gleaming white marble and its towering colonnades, may have all the home-like qualities of a high class tomb - but the office suite which awaits the new justice is as pleasant and comfortable as man could wish.
 Each justice rates suit of three rooms on the main floor of the building, and the suites are all ex- actly alike. From the corridor, you enter an outer office, with a deep carpet on the floor and rich blue drapes at the windows. The walls are panelled in oak, and the little floor that can be seen at the edges of the carpet turns out to be a tasty inlaid job. In this outer office the justices secretary holds forth.
 From it, one door leads to the

 In the City Manager plan, the chied administration officer, called the city manager, is always responsible to the council by whom he can be removed from office. The manager appoints the heads of the administrative de- partments, supervises and directs them.
 The council is supposed to "control" the manager and the members of that council are elected by the people. It may be small body elected at large, or large body elected by wards

When the bill is presented to the legislature you can expect every legislator from the City of Waterbury to vote against the bill and whoever might introduce the bill will certainly do so only on request" which means in the language of the layman that the person thus introducing the meas ure retains the right to speak and vote against 1t.
 Here are few of my reasons for not wanting to see the meas ure passed in this city. I con- slider the theory of the City Man ager plan plain distrust of the people who make up the popula- tion of this city. The theory that the voters do not know what they want, that they do not know how to vote or for whom to vote.
 I believe the people should always have the right and abil- ity to select their own public of- ficial without assistance from out side help.
 The City Manager Plan will practically eliminate minority rep- resentation.
 It will make it possible for the importation of, professional ex- perts of doubtful value to run the city government.
 It will give not City Manage ment" but Boss Rule".
 It gives rise to the possibility that someone might be picked" by the council who would never have a chance of being elected by the people.
 Consider for @ moment. every city, every town, in this great state of ours has what is known as @ political boss" Sup- pose for the sake of argument the city manager plan of government was about to be adopted in any city, any town. Don't you think that politician would make certain that certain" people are elected to the Council. Don't you think the politician or some one seekine control of the city government would tell those council members who to "select".
 The City Manager Plan, in my opinion will create a dictator ship" in this city if it is ever adopted, because the dictator" ns I would call him would be su- preme in that he will have full control, of the city government, all commissionership. the naming of heads of various city agencies city agencies, etc.
 I believe this form of govern ment would violate the funda- mental American principles in that the people shall have the

RemarkabIe thing about this political game is the fact that all during the recent state political campaign Uncle Toby Cross, ex- governor of this great common wealth said nothing about Mayor Casper the Great McLevy of Bridgeport or the Socialist party which Jasper headed. But now that the election is over and the leaders of the Democratic or- ganization realize their mistakes, Uncle Toby is taking the So- cialists to task. But Cross will always have one great distinction that of being one of Connecticut's best governors.

Edward J. Ryan

It has happened! And just as I warned the leaders of the Democratic party it would hap- pen. Three Democratic senators led by George T. Culhane of Wa terbury showed their independence when they lined up with the Re- publicans to allow the adoption of the joint-ceEnrnittee form of or- ganization.
 There will be more of this kind of independent voting before the final day of this session is reached. Naturally this kind of treatment at the hands of some of the Democratic senators is causing the Headers" of the state party no end of worry and con- fusion. But as one senator said to me today, After all it was I who was elected from my district to serve the people to the best Of my ability and not the leaders. So why should I be their stooge."
 Wm. Hanna of Bethel, former speaker of the lower house, has been named law clerk for the powerful judiciary committed; AL bert s. Bill of West Hartford has been named expressing clerk; and Matthew A. Kennedy of Stam- ford has been named assistant re- vision commissioner. These names all smack of "Old Guard Rule".
 Bill" Hanna and J. Kenneth Bradley of Westport could be seen on numerous occasions talking things over".

Rotary Club News

Visitors at the club were Allen
F. Hinton and A. L. Walker, agri-
cultural economists, from Wash
ington, D. c. and Jack Gaffney of
the Coolidge News.
The program was in charge Of
Nate Dodge of the Casa Grande
National Monument Mr.. MIR. Dodge
gave an interesting talk on Ma
tional Monuments and National
Park Service. He stated that prior
to 1872 a number of wild stories
came out of the West and else
where into the Nations capital Of
the natural freaks of nature. In
1872 an expedition went out to
explore these places with the re-
suit that the National Park Serv-
ice was inaugurated as a result OF
their recommendations. After these
were taken over by the Govern
ment, the problem of protection of
the monuments was set up. Roads
had to be developed Educational
features and research had to be
developed. Such question as diff
ferent types of rocks, flowers. diff
ferent species of plants and amin
ais all had to be studied and tabu-
lated in order that the Park Serv-
ice men may intelligently answer
the questions asked Of them. Mu-
seums and displays had to be set
up in order to illustrate these diff
ferent species. Libraries with
bulletin and pamphlets had to be
set up and tabulated. AS result
of these educational features, the
outdoor plants and rocks on these
Government reserves had to be
marked for the benefit of the
visitors. Library reference research
had to be prepared for distribution.
These are sent out to the public
mostly by mail requests. The
local National Monuments head
quarters is located at the Casa
Grande Ruins consisting of 26
units scattered over four states.
consisting OF 1888 square miles.
These units are looked after by %

S. P. Employees Will
Meet at Fair, May IA

Twenty thousand Southern Pa
cific employees and their families
will meet at the San Francisco Ex-
position May IA to celebrate 70
years of railroad progress in the
West since completion of the first
transcontinental rail line.
Officially designated Southern
Pacific Day, the special program
will draw railroaders from as far
south as FL Paso and from Ogden
and Portland to the east and
north, representing the largest
single group to visit Treasure Is
land to date.
Colorful ceremonies throughout
the day will hark back to May ID
1869 when a small party of rail
pioneers gathered at Promontory,
Utah, on the shore of Great Salt
Lake, to drive the last spike
signalling the meeting of the
Central Pacific, forerunner OF
Southern Pacific and the Union
Pacific.
All that remains today Of Pro-
montory is a modest stone monu'
ment beside the now little used
right of way, while luxurious
streamliners and other swift pass
enger and freight trains "go to sea
by rail- over the Lucin cutoff
across Great Salt Lake, many miles
shorter than the old route.
But Promontory and the historic
wedding of the rails" with its
little wood-burning locomotives and
tiny wooden coaches, will be called
to mind again by the railroad cele
bration at the Fair, as tribute is
paid to the hardy rail builders who
opened up the West to its present
rich development.
Early arrivals for the Southern
Pacific get-together on Treasure
Island will take part May 13 il
preliminary Homecoming festivit
les in San Francisco, sponsored By
the Southern Pacific Club.

He slept peacefully throughout
the time Herr Hitler delivered his
big address last week. We suggest
ed sometime ago that the cause of
peace would be advanced if broad
casting companies would stop
broadcasting the speeches Of our
war-minded leaders. You can't
work yourself up into a lather on
empty seats. The most important
thing on earth to a speaker loses
it's fire and punch when spoken
to a blank wall.
AS soon as a speaker becomes
aware that what he has to say is
of no particular Importance to
anyone else he begins to lose
interest in it himself.
There was an advantage in the
old way of having to swap notes on
The Coolidge examiner., 1939-05-11

grave issues. Days and weeks had
to elapse while the notes were
being exchanged across boundary
lines or oceans. The waiting
period allowed time for cooling
and deliberating. Today you can
talk back" across vast distances
as quickly as if speaking to a
person within arms reach. 1t is too
easy to say too much on the spur
of the moment.
Instead of an announcer saying:
Herr Dumb Noodle will deliver
his red-hot at two p. m. today,
listen in everyone" the better
thing might be to say: Herr
Dumb Noodle wants to get some
hot stuff off his chest today at 2
