Somebody is all the time try
ing to make US think they can
maybe wave their hand, and the
sun will come up in the west
and set in the east. And we are
fond of tricks, so we say o. K.
Boss. And whoever can think up
the sweetest idea, and we do
not pay the same day-we play
ball with him-and he is elect
ed.
And lots of people are kinda
leaning to the idea that we are
never going to get over being
a goof.
But the U. S. is a great coun-
try-and we can stand a lot
and times change. Like this Mr..
Rip Van Wrinkle, he went to
sleep for 20 years up there in
the New York CatSkillS and
when he woke up, everything
l1as changed - and the lock
dropped off his musket. And
people, they had forgotten all
about him.
And it will be likewise 20
years from now. And the Big
Names today, our grandson, he
will scratch his head and Won
der. And he will not know whe-
ther they are a 7-day bicycle
rider-or played second base
or maybe just some politician.

JAMES PREsTow

Congress has adjourned, but
the camp-folloWerS LETT behind
in the exodus of adjournment
are busying themselves with a
critical peruSal of the accomp-
lishments of the session. There
is already no doubt in their
minds that the session reflected
a distinct change in public
thinking. Members of the House
who must stand for re-elec-
tOn every two yearS-are closer
to the people than any others
in Washington, even Senators.
Those looking at the session
find that it mirrored this public
thinking: Business should be
given a chance to move for
ward and create jobs and alb
serb the unemployed and
blank check" signing for use
by the Executive Departments
professional spenders should be
restrained or even halted.
The helping hand which Con-
gresS extended to business was
indeed a shaky one and main
ly involved Wiping from the
statute books the last vestige
of the white rabbit- out-of-the-
hat Undistributed Surplus Tax.
Then too, there was a tighten
ing of the burden of taxes on
payrollS - the SO-called Social
Security Taxes. Business baiterS
in Washington who have felt
the pinch of public opinion
grasp at these two sops to bust
ness and exclaim-"Now, let's
see industry and business move
ahead"
From the very beginning,
however, businessmen h a e
warned that dry bones tossed
to business will not make it
grow and thrive. Substantial
changes must be made, they
have said, before private enter
prise can move forward.
Pointedly, critics of the ses-
sion turn to the Wagner La
Dor Relations Act, which some
of Americas leading economists
and political scientists now are
asserting is breeding strife and
warfare to such a degree as to
be the leading obstacle in the
way of recovery. Aside from an
important move by the House
to investigate the National La
Dor Relations Board, which ad-
ministers the Act, there was no
effect from the effort made to
correct the one-sidedneSS of the
Act and the manner in which
it allows the Board to admins
ter it with bias and prejudice to
those who make payrols. It is
from these payroll makers-em-
ployerS, farmers and a large
section of the public-that re-
sentiment against this Act and
similar ones on the statute
books has sprung.
The sight OF a politician be-
ing kicked about figuratively)
is not an unusual one for those
permitted to tread in the wings
of the political stage, but the
sight of a cabinet member be-
ing clicked" up two flights OF
stairs is something extraordin-
airy. The victim is Secretary OF
State Hull.
Secretary Hull has his office
suite on the second floor of the
historic State Department
Building just across the street
from the White House. It is
not more than a.minute's walk
from his desk to that of the
President. Now, however, he
must give up his choice second
floor quarters because that is
the space desired for the six
assistant Presidents"

 T have just heard that Russia has given full diplomatic recogni- t ion to the government organjzed by Communist supporters at Tar- icki," he said. Despite this we still are hopeful that we can reach a settlement with the U. s. s. R. by negotiations. We do not consider the diplomatic outlook hopeless

Holiday Lighting System Will Be Turned on at 5
 This Afternoon

Waterbury's most prosperous pre-. Christmas season since the depres. sion started 10 years ago seemed assured today as merchants pre- pared for the start of the shop ping rush. The special holiday lighting system, whose cost is being shared by merchants, will be turned on at 5 o'clock this evening. Stores will remain open until g o'clock to- night.
 Business in the city Is now at the highest peak in years. Employment made record-breaking gains during September and October, and No. vember figures, which are now be. ing compiled, are expected to reveal further gains. Increased payrolls will be reflected in holiday trade.
 Expecting a heavy volume of bus iness, merchants have arranged to have exceptionally large stocks on hand. Variety of gifts is greater than ever before.
 The annual shop early" warn- ing is particularly significant this year in view of the rush expected during the last few days. before Christmas. It is pointed out that early shoppers not only will be able to make their choices from a wider selection but that also they wil! avoid the crushing discomfort ot then 1lth hour.
 The street lighting system ar- ranged by the merchants through the Chamber of Commerce promises to be the most unique that the city has seen. Streamers of laurel and holly have been stretched across the downtown streets, and frames in the shape of stars, bells, circles and other forms have been erected Multi-colored bulbs will give a hol. iday air.
 The stores will be open until o'clock again next Saturday night also the following Thursday and Saturday. During the period from Dec. IS to the 23rd, stores will be open nightly till g.

ALCORN GIVEN
 MEExTENS|ON
Judge Inglis Allows Attor- ney for State More Time
 to Make Answer

Judge Ernest A. Inglis this morn- ing granted a petition filed by States Atty. Hugh M. Alcorn seek ing an extension of time within which to file a counter finding in the Waterbury conspiracy case. The time under Judge Inglis' ruling is extended to January IS, although the states attorney had sought a February IS, deadline.
 Judge Inglis has had the exten- sion request under consideration since last Saturday.
 Attorney Alcorn stated in his mo- ton for additional time to prepare his case for the supreme court of errors that in view of the magnitude of the appeals filed in the high court by fourteen men in the con- spiracy case that it was necessary for him to have additional time and suggested February IS as the time for his counter finding to be filed. He pointed out in one part of his motion that defense lawyers have listed exceptions taken in the case running into the thousands anc that the transcript of the trial evi- dence is so voluminous that 1t will take weeks for him and his assist ants to reread 1t.
 Defense lawyers as far as could be learned had no objection to the extension of time sought by MT. Alcorn, saying that they themselves had been granted an extension by the court and that the states at- torney is entitled to the granting of his request.
 Just when the cases will be heard by the supreme court is not cer- tain but there was a general pre- diction that in view of the exten- sion of time granted MT. Alcorn they would not be reached at the May term of the court. which if true, means that the appeals will not be reached before next October as the court does not hold sessions during July, August or September.
