No Lack of Candidates

With the ink on the word fms attached
to the recent city manager campaign
scarcely yet dry there has already
arisen enough political aspirants for
the mayoralty on the several party
machines to fill a bushel basket. The
woods are full of them. Out of this con-
glomeraton if given the opportunity to
properly register their claims and quail
fications it would seem that Waterbury
should be able this year to select the
best possible men and women to head
the various tickets at the coming city
election in November.
However, this multiplicity of So-called
political timber is just the situation
wherein the difficulty lies in securing
the best available candidates to run in
the coming election. Each and every
group or individual seeking political
office is so hemmed in and limited in the
field of operation that as far as the pub
lie in general is concerned in the final
choice and selection the person or group
of persons with the best possible timber
usually finds their candidates at the
bottom of the heap when the contestants
are finally selected. That's the rub.
It would seem that in the selection of
candidates this fall for the various

the confidence of the parties or party
leaders seeking election. For years now
there has been talk of open caucus with
covenants openly arrived at Now is the
time we think to adopt such system or
plan and the party or group of individ-
uals that follows that course will be the
enc most likely to be successful. Steam
roller tactics are out for long time to
come in Waterbury if we gage the
temper of the public Alright.
So we think if the leading parties are
sincere in Waterbury after Tuesdays
mandate from the public for the con-
tinuance of the two-party system their
leaders will sit down around table and
honestly scan and probe the growing
list of candidates for those with the very
best qualifications and fewest Interior
motives for seeking to handle the des-
TIMES of Waterbury at this time. Any
person or group of persons with or
suspected of having any motive other
than the good of Waterbury in present
ing candidate, ticket or slate of dele
gates, whether they be big or small,
should be Immediately and definitely
counted out. For if they are not now,
they will be on election day. The public
will see to it in no uncertain manner
with votes.

All the arguments that were used to
tell the need of a new highway bridge on
Harpers Ferry Road last year >appar-
emily fell on deaf ears until we learned
this week that city and New Haven road
officials were actually visiting the bridge
site to see what should or could be done.
Motorists are well aware of the draw
backs of the present crossing and its
complete lack of moderniZation. It really
is inadequate as highway bridge.
Everyone in authority probably agrees
on that, but the rub comes when the
topic of cost is mentioned The city
= doesn't want the burden of paying for a
new bridge which would also include
probably some incidentalS, such as
Strengthening out the roadway proper
and providing new approaches The
only other interested party seems to be,
consequently, the New Haven road over
whose spur tracks or right of way the
bridge passes. But we can't see the COM
pany building new crossing there to
please the city.
The alternative would seem to be the
State Highway department, but after
last years futile efforts in the Legisla-
ture it would seem as if this avenue OF
escape is out. Many towns have found
a way out of their road and bridge diff
culties by having the Highway Depart
ment assume the burden of both new
construction and maintenance. In the
present difficulty it doesn't look as if this
is the way out. Therell probably have
to be a meeting of several minds on this
matter to provide the new bridge the
city really needs.

Sudden Solicitude

There is a tinge of madness about war
and everything connected with it, But
today's war in Europe, with modern prop
uganda, is so battling as to leave one
limp. The Germans hate the Russians
on Tuesday and love them on Wednesday.
Poland is an aggressive, cocky military
dictatorship in July, but in September it
is martyred republic. An arms embargo
is neutrality in July, cash-and-carry is
neutrality in October.
To add just one more note to the gen.
eral confusion: the Soviet atheist news
paper, Bezboznik, is reported very indig-
nant because Orthodox churches in
Poland were broken up and turned into
Roman Catholic ones. But Bezboznik,
whose name means in Russian, Goddess"
made it's reputation by it's bitter attacks on
the Orthodox Church in Russia.

Views of The Press

from these figures, but their con-
illusions will not profoundly impress
the general public, which knows full
well that these purely local elections
have precious little to do with party
labels as such.
The issues seldom relate to those
questions over which the parties ma
tionally contend. Nobody can tell
from the returns how tire voters
feel about the Neutrality Act, if
that Is In any sense party issue,
or about the lending and spend
ing policies of the administration,
or its excursions into various social
fields. What they really reveal is
the attitude of townsmen toward
the management of local affairs and
their estimate of the personal quail
tiles of the candidates aspiring to
Office, plus an occasional direct vote
on a matter specifically referred to
their judgment. AS for example,
whether or not East Hartford should
join the Metropolitan district, which
it decided to do by two-to-one
majority. These are the matters
that govern town elections to the
exclusion of almost everything else,
and to attempt to figure national
trends from them is waste of time.

Paths for Bicycles

Again it is the coroner of Fairfield
County who takes the lead in campaign
for highway safety We we'll recall the
long years that the late Coroner John
Phelan spent in calling on civil author
tiles to make provisions for paths along
important highways, so that pedestrians
might be protected from fast-moving
motorcars. Time and again his official
findings contained words of warning
about this need And his counsel is still
being needed for the fight for highway
sidewalks is pressed all the time.
But now Coroner Theodore E. Steiber
urges the creation of bicycle paths in all
cities and towns that would be used ex-
cluSively by cyclists. In a recent find
ing on the death of youth who collided
with a truck while riding a bicycle he
said that public highway is no longer
safe for bicycle riding. In this opinion
he agrees with one given out by Park
Commissioner Robert Moses of New York
some time ago.
We'd like to see bicycle paths in view
of the increasing popularity OF the BIZ
cycle. We'd like to see every town in the
state take some precautions to protect
the boys and girls and grownups who
want to ride bicycles for pleasure and for
business reasons. But we realize that
any wholesale attention to It's problem
would be one of tremendous expense,
more than any community

CARDINAL MUNDELEIN
New York Sun)

OF the seven American Catholic
prelates Who achieved the Cardinals
hat, three-McClosk Farley and
Hayes-were archbishops of New
York. James Gibbons was of Bal
timore; Cardinal O'Connell is OF
Boston and Cardinal Dougherty is of
Philadelphia. Cardinal Mundelein,
who has left a great flock to mourn
him, was the first churchman west
of the Alleghenies to become a
Prince of the Church. He was, too,
the first American Cardinal not Of
Irish blood. Like Cardinal Hayes,
who died only a little more than a
year ago, George Mundelein was a
native of Manhattan and an alum
nus of Manhattan College. His
a.. ilities were made manifest in
Brooklyn, birthplace of the first Am
erican Cardinal, John McCloskey.
How great an administrator he was
is shown in The building up of the
Chicago archdiocese since Bishop
Mundelein was sent there twenty
three years ago. In his autobiog-
raphy, published this year, Bishop
Kelley of Oklahoma summed up
Carolina, Mundelein: HE is Chicago
history. Already he has the unique
distinction OF having town, a bank,
a seminary, women's college and
a hall of philosophy named after
him. Without him was made moth

two decades in the life of Catholic

Times have changed since some of us

BIRDS VS.. CATS
(New York Times)

The world may roughly be divided
into those who like cats and those
who don't. 1t isn't the kind Of thing
that one is Indifferent about, like
bustleS or the way a wife does her
hair. A Mr.. Haushalter of Wicasset,
Maine, apparently lacks enthusiasm
for cats. He has developed his lawn
into, sort of bird sanctuary, and
supplies food and water. In the nor
NAL course of events young birds
come along, to which proving
cats" he says, become a danger. Mr..
Haushalter has solved this problem
in a neat way of his own and has
taken pen in hand to write The
Times about it: II find that small
Fourth of July torpedoes are effec-
tive. scatters small pellets against

This sounds effective, If little on

NEUTRALITY DEBATE
Here is how the Senate LOOKS
during the most historic debate
since the fate of the League of
Nations was decided:
The chosen So are in their seats.
1t looks like 100 per cent at
tendance. Newspapers are put
away; Senators actually are lis
tening. Around them on the floor
level, and above them on the gall
lery level, the great chamber is
filled. Members of the House of
Representatives fill the couches
and standing space about the
walls.
A page boy comes in, leading
blind, snow haired ex-senator
Gore. Senator Guffey stands
against the wall; somebody has
pre-empted his seat. The ham,
Der is so quiet that the only
sound to compete with the
speaker is the signing of the
air-cOoling system.
A preponderance of women in
red, green, blue costumes, give the
crowded galleries flashes of color
in contrast to the drab senatorial
attire below. The diplomatic
gallery, usually empty, is filled to
overlooking, with persons sitting
in the aisle.
A page boy brings in card
to Senator Nye, who leaves his
seat and goes out to speak to a
peace lobbyist. Senator john
son, looking for a seat, takes
Nye's place. Senator LaFollette
snaps his fingers for page,
gives him a dime. The page
comes back with package of
cough drops.

Selected Poem
MY OLD CORNCOB PIPE


(By Herbert Durrell Smart in the Boston POST
Glorified is an ear of corn today
Natures cherished gift where'er we may stray;
It's fashioned cob gives comfort and joy
To it's owner, like child's treasured toy.
In selecting a corncob pipe note the size
For therein its hidden secret lies;
The bowl with cut plug tobacco stuff,
Touch a match TO it and contentedly puff.
Fastidious folks may smoke their "briars,'
And IT'D" pipes charm our Irish sires;
Some like to color" meerschaum too,
But corncobs the honey" I'm telling you.
An imported "briar' suits men of wealth,
But corncob pipe is the best for health;
The bowl with cut plug tobacco stuff,
And freely draws where the stem fits in,
L'ENVOI
My regards to you. friendly corncob pipe
OF convenient size and old-fashioned type;
When sad and lonely, for you pine
Longing for you, old pal OF mine;
And until tobacco is grown no more,
Your usefulness will ne'er be DER;
Though pipes be made in rare design,
Still to you I'll cling, old pal of mine!

. HIGHLIGHTS FROM
LATEST BOOKS

The arrival of the British in South
Africa early in the 18th century
brought hatred and distrust into
the hearts of the peaceful, con-
tented Beers who had established
Dutch colony there. 1t is the
early development of this rising
antagOnism that Stuart Cl0ete
traces in his historical novel
watch for the Dawn" (HOugh-
ton, Miffin: S2.5O). From defiance
of British law to open border war
fare, the tide of hate increased.
Cl0ete's heroine speaks for the
Beer women at the execution of
five rebel Beers as n friend tries
to shield her from the sight:
"Baie danke, meneer, but I wish
to see. ia, before God, ] wish TO
see everything; to see all so that !
never forget. You say this. is not
thing for maid to see, but ! say
that it is a thing that all should
see. ia, down to the very children
in arms. For if it comes to pass a
seed will be sown, and it is for us,
the women, to plant it in the hearts
of our children: a little seed Of
hatred tht will grow, watered by our
tears, into a great tree"
"You are foolish" he said. Look
at the soldiers. Look at what has
happened. They are too strong. We
are but handful"
"A handful. meneer, but a free
people, and it will be as say. Nee,
1t will not happen IN one year. 1t
will not happen in two years. But
in so, in 100 years, who can tell
what will happen meneer?"
Il do not understand women"
Joachim shrugged his shoulders.
"They were all against this rebel
lion. They did not care who ruled
the land, and now that it has brok-
en-, they are all like you"
ia, they are like me. And their
children will be like me and their
children's children"
