A Thought for Today
The Lists Are Lengthy

By no means may the list of potential candidates for the mayoralty nomination on the Democratic ticket, as printed In The Democrat last Saturday be consid- cred complete. While it's very possible the eventual nominee is among those mentioned, it isn't positive. The suc- cessful candidate may not even have been considered as yet. That's pretty much the political status of all parties in this city right at the present time. Every thing that is said and discussed is done to create interest
 There might be another purpose, too. But that isn't mentioned. The active po- litical leaders refuse to concede the ad- vocates of the city manager form of gov- ernment even an outside chance of car- rying the special referendum that is to be held in October It must be remem- bered, though, that all discussion of poli- tical candidates is dependent on the out come of the October vote. If the elector- ate of this city wants a change in our present form of government, then candi- dacies discussed to date can be discarded completely.
 There is good psychology in this lack of consideration for successful city man. ager campaign by politicos. The average voter is apt to become convinced by next October that there isn't a ghost of chance for the city manager advocates to carry the referendum. And if such con- vEtion becomes widespread not only will there be small outpouring of voters for the special election, but there1l be a large group of voters who want to be sure their ballot has been cast for the winning aide.

Something to Celebrate

Next year will be the 50Oth anniversary of printing. The American Institute of Graphic Arts is preparing to celebrate this event, one of the most momentous in the history of man. It is also approx imately 400 years since the introduction of printing to the New World, and about 300 since the printing of the first book in what is now the United States. Libraries, schools, newspaper, book, and periodical publishers are all planning to join in observing the anniversary
 That is proper, for it was printing from movable type that first brought learning within reach of the common man. Per haps this will some day be regarded as his greatest victory. It is one he will do well not to throw away lightly by culti- vating the ear so exclusively that the eye forget the permanence, the clarity the beauty of the printed word It is a gift whose precious glint has become slightly tarnished by familiarity. If the institute can do anything to refurbish it in our minds, it will have served us all

Price Is Reduced

With no intention of diSparaging the efforts of the promoters of the New York Worlds Fair in their efforts to persuade more thousands of Americans to visit the Flushing meadows, We can't help but be bit cynical about the furore that was raised last week over the reduction in ad- mission prices. The price after 930 D. m. to the fair proper will be Accents instead of the 75-cents that has been paid up to now by adults and will continue to be paid by them during the hours preceding 9:3O.
 This reduction doesn't seem like much of concession to the "outlanders," folks from the sticks, etc. The fair exhibits close at 10 D. m, which gives anyone try ing to get in under the reduced rate scant opportunity to see any of them. Of course the obvious purpose behind the reduced rate for the late evening is to benefit the concessionaires and amusement zone proprietors They are the ones making the loudest squawks about the admission price. They claim that when people are obliged to pay so much merely to gain admittance to the fair grounds, they aren't going to spend money freely with in its limits.
 So after you get into the fair for 50- cents you now are privileged to take in any or all of the amusements, restaurants, and other concessions that do not close until a. rn Looks very much as if those who indulge in New York's night life would be the ones to benefit most by this price reduction

Protecting Pedestrians

Motorists generally have accepted traf- fife regulation as inevitable. But pedes- trians have not. The same man who when driving his car will stop for red light, will when walking dodge across the street relying on his own nimbleness rather than on the regulations. It is just a quirk of human nature. Man plus car accepts regulation; man alone insists on being free.
 But that is passing. The next step in cutting down the traffic toll must be the regulation of the pedestrian, says special committee of the National Safety Council which studied the question. Last year three of every five persons killed in traffic accidents were pedestrians. And two- thirds of the 12,500 pedestrians killed last year were violating traffic ordinance or committing an obviously unsafe act at the time. That makes the course clear. The time is coming when pedestrians must obey traffic ordinances as consist ently as drivers.

Views of The Press

their rights in resting without put. ting . witness on the stand for their defense. The burden of proof is upon the state. Unless that proof is sufficient beyond a reasonable doubt the states case fails. After sum- nations have been made by counsel and the court has made its charge to the jury the public will learn, in due time, the verdict of the nine men and three women who have endured winter cold and summer heat in listening to the evidence and lawyers arguments sincS last Jan- uary.
 Whatever the verdict, t...e Water bury conspiracy case will go down in Connecticut history as the longest and most expensive legal proceeding ever carried through in this state. It has tried the patience of the court and jury, tested the abilities of the prosecutors for the state and the skill of counsel for the defense, and has kept the defendants under strain such as has been endured by few such groups over such long period. Every person concerned, and the public. will be glad that the end is in sight.

 As my name implies, I am Scotch Irish American, addicted 70 neither the right nor left dictator ships, but a wholehearted worker for the preservation and extension of American democracy. That IS why I must object to MT. Murphy's speech before the Hartford Rotary club in which he told his audience that the Cooperative Movement IS Communicate and un-American. On the contrary, the Cooperative Movement ,i the finest example or pure democracy wherever 1t may be found-in England and the Scandi- navian countries (hardly Commun- istic nationD where the movement is oldest and strongest; or Tn our own country, particularly in the Midwest where 1t is making re- markable progress.
 The Consumer Cooperative Move ment is an ABSOLUTELY VOLUN- TARY MOVEMENT of all those consumers who prefer to cooperate for their mutual advantage rather than submi. to Relationships of any kind, whether 1t be of the Euro- pean or our own American brand.
 If anyone is interested in proving MT. Murrhy or me wrong, let him go to 189 North Main street, where Cooperative enterprise is func- tioning and doing its best to interest the people of Waterbury to helr the American consumer in his ef- fort to resist dictatorship J. MacNEIL.

down the streets scattering refuse gaily and thoughtlessly as they go. That empty cigaret package, that banana skin, the discarded newspaper or package wrapper off they go, out of speeding cars and into the street. Who cares? The city will clean it up.
 In New York, 10000 school children are being taught to fight this attitude; police arrested 22,402 chronic violators of anti-litter laws after warnings, the Amer ican Public Works Association reports. But the basic responsibility is on every citizen. Those who think, and those who care, will not litter up the streets in the first place.

All these particular parkway. in Greater New York connect nicely with Westchester ones, such as Saw Mill River, the Hutchinson River, and eventually with our own Merritt Parkway in Con- necticut, which has already taken on a seasoned look in it's second year, new shrubbery flourishing in the middle sec- tion and along the roadside In no time this Parkway will come as far west as Trumbull and other points and eventu- planned under West Rock, said tunnel to be named for former Governor Wilbur L.

We read that the East River Drive in New York City between Forty-Ninth and Ninety-Third street is nearing completion. Certain sections are now complete, but by June, 1940, the entire distance will present drive similar to the Henry Hudson Parkway on New York's West Side between the Hudson River and Riverside Drive. Eventually a tunnel at 178th street will be con- meeting link between East and West and with the George Washington and Tri- borough bridges, thus making Long Island and New Jersey accessible without getting mixed up in any New York City traffic. In this way by means of net and enroute to other points driving will be, and, in fact, already is, greatly simpli- fled, and as matter of fact easier driv-
 ing than in any about smaller cities
 whose busy streets are always congested.

 FATHER COUGHLIN
 Father Coughlin is quietly ex- banding his time and coverage on the air.
 Through Aircasters, Inc, a mysterious Detroit agency, he is contracting for daily quarter and half hour periods on 8 large num- Der of stations. So far he has a network of 48 stations. The larg- est single group is the Yankee network with IS stations.
 The daily broadcasts, in the form of news reports "from . social justice standpoint'. are transmitted by direct wire from Royal Oak, Mich, Father Cough. lins headquarters.
 Who is financing this expen- sive activity is a closely guarded secret. The radio priest claims that the money is coming from his listeners and Social Justice subscribers. In recent Sunday broadcasts he has urged his hearers to subscribe to the mag azine.
 Aircasters, Inc, is one-man agency controlled by Father Coughlin and handles no other broadcasts but his.
 The manager is Father Stan- ley Boynton, who directed WJR, the Detroit station on which Father Coughlin got his start as a radio spieler. A significant fea- ture of the agency is the fact that 1t never writes a letter to radio stations but transacts all business by long distance phone from Detroit.
 Another interesting angle is that time for Father Coughlin's new daily programs are being
