4 Feeder AirIines
To Link Capital and
Small Cities Proposed
Sample Routes Would
Top West Virginia,
Maryland and Virginia

An informal proposal for the es-
tablishment Of air pickup upes that
would make Washington the termi-
nus Of four air routes extending
through Maryland, Virginia and
West Virginia has been laid before
the Civil Aeronautics Authority.
The suggestion was made today
by Richard G. du Pont Of Whining
ton, Del, president Of All-American
Aviation, Inc, which operates a
system in Pennsylvania and three
other States.
The proposed routes would extend
through Virginia to Pulaski; through
West Virginia to White Sulphur
Springs on q line south to Elkins
on a line that traverses Maryland,
and to Baltimore and south on the
Eastern Shore, to Norfolk, Va.
Would Encourage Lines.
Mr.. Du Pont said his firm is not
planning to establish routes in
this area, but is following . policy
to encourage their development
through existing air lines or through
local enterprise where the service
y desired.
The firm has merely mapped out
sample feeder lines to demonstrate
how the system would function.
The route to Pulaski would in
elude Manassas, Lexington, Cul-
peper, Fredericksburg, Orange, Cor
louisville, Charlottesville, Lovington,
Amherst, Lynchburg, Bedford, Roa-
noke, Christiansburg and Radford.
Includes Staunton.
The one to White Sulphur Springs
would serve Front Royal, Winches-
ter, Woodstock, Shenandoah, Har-
risonburg, Waynesboro, Staunton,
Hot Springs, Clifton Forge, Coving-
ton, Upperville, Middleburg and
Romney, w. Va.
The Elkins route would include, in
Maryland. Rockville, Frederick,
Point O. Rocks, Harpers Ferry, Hag-
erstown and Cumberland, and in
West Virginia, Martinsburg, Keyser,
Chaffee. Thomas and Parsons.
The line to Baltimore and Nor
folk would run to Annapolis, Easton,
Cambridge, Oxford, Hurlock, Sails
bury. Pocomoke City and Crisfield,
in Maryland; Laurel, Del, and
Franklin City, Accomac, Eastville,
Cape Charles and Newport News, in
Virginia.

Should Prove Helpful

Appointment of the members or the commission to whom is entrusted the power of supervising dams, dikes, and reservoirs throughout the state actually puts into operation law that had It's real beginning last fall in the wake of the devastating hurricane. Numerous small dams around the state were washed out at the time by ponds and rivers which swept out abutments and supports Tn quick order. As a result the waters did considerable damage to private and pub lie property.
 Lack of proper official surveillance of such structures is blamed in part for thelr weakening before the hurricanes blasts and rising waters. Had these dams been inspected annually and repairs made as they were needed, it is believed that the number of them going down in the storm would have been fewer. At the time 1t was almost immediately decided that to some authority, then existing, or else new one should be entrusted the duties of supervising dams and reservoirs.
 The State Water Commission loomed as the best agency available to carry on the work, but so important work is being car ried on by this organization now that It would have been a mistake to saddle It with such vital new problem. The leg islative act in creating the new board was a wise one and we feel that the members just named will more than prove their worth before they give their first account ing two years hence. There is much work to be done; it's not work that could be efficiently done by the average lay man. Engineers are required and they have been provided. We feel confident that flood waters will raise havoc with fewer dams and dikes in the future with regular check-ups of them planned.

"Charming Dozen"

All sorts of lists have been prepared since President Franklin D. Roosevelt, following his conference with Paul V. McNutt, said there were dozen or more "charming" gentlemen in federal service who might be considered eligible for the presidency year from now In Con- gross, in particular, corridor conversa- ton chiefly is concerned with the names of the dozen" or more who might have been in the Presidents mind when he made the statement. AS yet no one has asked him to designate the fortunate dozen.
 Oddly enough the only list that we saw published which one neWspaperman thought would include the likliest eligibles failed to include the name of one senator or representative. Congress was repre- sentative Congress was represented by the vice-president, John Garner. In the old days presidential stock was always found in the House or Senate, but days are now different. At least they are on the Democratic side of the fence. Most of the Cabinet seemed to be regarded as as well as a number of other bureau heads in Washington You know them all.
 Personally we doubt If the President regards onyones chances for the nom- ination next year as seriously as his own. He's doubtless arrived at the conclusion by now that the New Deal rests squarely on his shoulders and if he wants its poli- cies to be continued, he will have to be the color-bearer And that, as everyone is aware, is going to provoke fight, not over a third term, but over the trend of the Democratic party - still with the New Deal or back to it's former position. We wonder if Roosevelt victory in such an instance as this would be popular one.

Bound For Somewhere

The ease with which Albert Levitt of Bedding moves from one gathering to another throughout the state, plus his ability to be quoted in the public press, indicates a desire on his part to be a candidate for something or other. Of course 1t might just be the nature of the Bedding man who has for many years come to the fore regularly when every one had concluded that he had retired permanently to life of peace and quiet at his home in southwestern Connecticut.
 His latest foray was at the Fairfield county convention of the Young Demo- crats where he launched an attack at former Governor Wilbur L. Cross and later accepted the rebuke of the conven- tion as vindication of his faith in the group to do its "own thinking" Former Rep. Alfred N. Phillips was also assailed by Professor Levitt in his address, which we certainly can't explain before Young Democrat group.
 In recent weeks MT. Levitt has also railed against the appointment of minor court judges, conditions in Fairfield county, and the lack of proportion in our Congressional and Senatorial districts. He has the makings of very fine plat form; all he needs now are the constitu- ents. Maybe that explains his appearance at the county convention. He is seeking backing. If it's for the Congressional nomination in the fourth district in 1940, he's too late. Haywood Broun has already scaled his hat in that direction.

Mrs. Winthrop B. Palmer of Fairfield, presidential elector in 1886, unsuccess- full Democratic candidate for Secretary of State in 1888, and also mentioned a few years back for Democratic National Commtteewoman, the post that Miss Mary Coughlan won, calls the Democratic State Central Committee "lethargic" in "any positive action" on the New Deal. Such charge might be preferred against many other Democrats, too, as Mrs. Pal mer must well know by this time. Whether or not it's anything that should disturb the party here in Connecticut is more or less personal issue. We don't think 1t should. AS matter of fact the State Central Committee is about the only vocal section of the party in between elections. We seldom hear the so-called leaders express themselves. So far as we can see State Chairman J. Francis Smith is about the only one who ventures an opinion in between elections and we'd scarcely say that his are not positive.

Selected Poem
A HOT WEATHER LYRIC
CBy Charles L. H. Wagner in the Christia

(By Charles L. H. Wagner In the Christian
 Science Monitor When the sun is hot and burning and the fields are parched and brown, Then for cooler climes I'm yearnilg where the mercury stays down, Tor my mind Is Jagged and hay and I am worn out and blue, Summer tends to make me lazy and there's little would do My appetite for pleasure is sated and the best Of song and dancing measure leaves me longing for a rest Urban joys do not enthrall me, happiness = an empty dream But the sea and mountains call me, they alone can life redeem. I can vision in my dreaming broad expanse of foam and wave, And the sunsets colors gleaming where the cool ing water have I can see majestic mountains beckoning for me to climb And the woodland springs and fountains offer
 treat sublime. But the thought of duty scolds me, cruel need demands toll, One must eat, and summer holds me here at home to fume and boil; Maybe, when I'm old and graying and the world l can anchors heavy weighing, sail and seek some golden shore Seek cline where skies smiling where heat or cold is known, Where the rhythmic winds beguiiing croon their songs for me alone, Where raucous noise perturbs me as write my Hitting song Where no weather shall disturb me, for that land all poets long

Hi-Yo, Silver!

When the storm of Mexican unpopu- larity descends on the United States as result of changes in the silver policy which may adversely affect Mexico, it is well to remember this: Mexican silver produc- ton has been declining all year, and had slumped badly long before the recent congressional furry. Labor troubles which are not the United States business were to blame for shutting down many mines long before U. s. policy came up in Congress.
 What Mexicans, or others outside the country, can never understand is that U. s. silver policy is decided simply by the pressure demands of small interested group exercising an influence on great Government which seems impossible to kn outsider. Mexicans naturally assume shat any changes in U. S. silver policy are made with Mexican production in

Visitors to Waterbury, seeing the city for the first time, invariably exclaim about it. Many times the writer has heard residents from larger towns remark on the beauty of this city and its layout. To the native Waterburian this should not be surprising for Waterbury is like so many other New England towns set in a rich setting that has not become dull, Such praise, however, should keep us on our toes; make us endeavor to improve our civic looks with each passing year

 Recently masses were celebrated for the first time in the new church which replaces the historic little church of brick that for consider. ably more than 6 century was c sacred landmark. The new site inc cludes the little plot of earth where the tenement house stood in which Cardinal Hayes was born. The new church may thus be considered 8 memorial to him as well as sanc- tuary for those who work by night and for those who have to do with the administration of justice. All faiths should unite to help make 1t both a memorial and sanctuary and keep 1t standing as symbol of the charity with which he blessed this city. Mgr. Cashin, the pastor, has labored for years to keep in that neighborhood church bearing the name of the disciple that was first called. All--especially printers and publishers, lawyers and judges should be glad to be enrolled upon the scroll of honor.

The all-night parking ban is going to prove troublesome problem for our city officials. At one time we think it might have been possible to impose such an ordinance without attracting much at tention or opposition. Right now we wouldn't be surprised to find many com plaints about the hardships that such an order would cause. Still in the interests o off sae, snfre e saod o be es sses so for as night parking is concerned. Everyone is aware of the potential dang CTS in 1t, but refuses to be made specific example of the general rule.

NEW SAINT ANDREWS
(New York Times

When Hilaire Belloc was ending his journey of two and one-half hundred leagues on foot, as describ- ed in '"The Path to Rome," he saw many churches Ito hand" and took the most immediate, which stood just within the wall of the Eternal City. Were he walking in the lower end of Manhattan Island he would find a church which Is and will be most immediate to thousands who pass to and fro near the entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge and in the shadow of the Municipal Building. It has 6 local parish of only fifty families. But 1t has a unique con- stituency scattered over the entire city. And even those of other faiths have been accustomed to look in for a few moments Of rest ana quiet meditation in the midst of the noise Of trafiic outside. Especially have It's priests ministered to the night
