Complaints OF WiIdlife Dep

State Game Warden E. Lee Lee
Compile was fguratively between "a
rock and a hard place" "If you don't
have any game, then the hunters cam
plain; when you've got lot Of game,
the public complains"
Warden LeCompte's troubles are
conferred around the growing depreda-
tions of certain elements of the wild
life population under his jurisdiction.
The squirrels, is seems, are gnaw-
ing at the roofs of citizens houses;
the rabbits are eating boulevards thru
flower and vegetable gardens; rae
coons and foxes have been raiding the
Eastern Shore muskrat marshes.
And, to top the sorry tale, band of
Cecil county deer have just staged an
unparalleled blitzkreig on a considerable
acreage Of Cecil county cabbages. In
this county, rapidly increasing deer
herds are making hay in the wheat
fields, farmers say.
Washington county orchardists are
in justifable lather because deer
have been eating the succulent tips of
fruit tree branches.
"We're getting complaints every
day" LeCompte announced. SO far as
the smaller animals were concerned
LcCompte explained, the department
can set traps, catch the game alive,
and move it into game reservations,
but the deer present knottier prob
lem. The department has had so many
squirrel complaints it can't handle
them.
Under state law, citizens are pro-
hibited from killing any of the game

MT. LAKE PARK

The past winter Mountain Lake res
idents had congratulated themselves
upon the fact that they had rather an
ideal community. In years past there
was much petty thieving and many
small misdemeanors annoying to the
hOuseholders, but the past year we
said to ourselves, "Well, we have got
ten rid of all those who preyed upon
US and the Park is a fine place in
which to live" That was before several
of our summer residents arrived. Then
we were disillusioned indeed, for 1t
turned out that two lovely homes had
their windows shot out, one home had
five panes of glass shattered, another
had four; one summer boarding house
had all of its electric fixtures taken
out and many small articles missing,
and to top it all we ourselves had our
one and only new clothes line cut and
taken away. These are only a few of
the things reported.
Now a situation of this sort does not
add to the prestige of the Park, which
again brings up the question of proper
policing facilities.
Mr.. Wetzel last week at the meeting
Of the Park Improvement Club brought
this subject up, which was certainly a
most pertinent one to him and to the
organization for which he stands.
If citizens know of persons doing
these things and report the same to
the proper authorities, then that might
help to put a stop to this evil prac-
tice

Friday evening, June 81, the Ladies'
Bible class of the Methodist church
will meet with Mrs. Charles May.

All Should Vote

With 10000 registered Democrats on the primary lists more than a bare majority of this number should exercise their voting rights and privileges. Too often primary is ignored because the average registered voter doesn't consider the issue at stake serious enough to de- mand his participation. Any election is important, no matter what the issue or whom the candidate may be. In this particular instance Democratic voters of Waterbury have an excellent chance of taking an important step towards winning the November elections.
 It is to be hoped that in both the 18th and 18th senatorial districts, where inS teresting contests are being waged for control of the two conventions to follow, Democratic voters will consider today's balloting one to which they should give complete attention. There are bound to be a number who will be unable to vote due to the variance in working hours; others will be incapacitated or unable to- get to the polling places But thousands are able to vote and certainly should do so during the proper period and at the determined places.

Russia Drops the Curtain

From Britain and from Germany, America learns only what the govern ments of those countries want Us to learn. In spite of every effort by Amer ican news and picture agencies, we learn only what authority permits us to learn. Not so we'll known Is the fact that cen- sorship has dropped an equally tight cur tain across the whole Of Russia, from the Baltic to the Pacific. Russia has always had censorship, but under Litvinoff 1t was quite liberal.
 In January, l040, Molotoff dropped the veil, according to c. E. R. oedye, New York Times correspondent, who was SO dlsgruntled by tho conditions Imposed that he closed the Times bureau And left. Americana, striving to understand their reiatlonshlpB with the rest Of the world, are handicapped by the fact that basic facts on which those relationships must he based Rfe nearly all censored at the source, The fight to learn tho truth is aB grim ae anR of the battles that nov con.

Dr. DOuglasS to the other. While you are trying to serve both, you are in state of spiritual dis equilibrium which will soon find true equilibrium on one side or the other.
 Life is a matter of decision, and with unwavering resolution we have to decide whom we will serve and what we will serve. Decide, said Jesus, and behold. you are in the light. Concord has replaced chaos, harmony has replaced restlessness, assurance has come to take the place of doubt. When we make a great decision, the Spirit of God comes down like flame to set us on fire with noble endeavor, or like a light to guide us, or like e warming fire to comfort us. But while there is doubt in our minds. while there l sstiil a confused halting between royalties, 90 long as we will not give up some cherished indulgence, there Is darkness in the heart. The light ls ct cross purposes with itself.
 To be indecisive is to dwell ill darkness: to make Q resoluto deci- sion at tho cost of sacrifice means the dawnlng Of c new day.

Taking No Chances

Political observers throughout the state are agreed that the failure of the Socialist state convention to name slate of presidential electors is move to insure Mayor Jasper McLevy of every last vote that he can possibly muster in No vember. The Socialists might have en- dorsed the Democratic presidential cleo tors, but this in all Likelihood would have resulted in drop in the strict party vote. There is no mistaking the fact that the Socialists are out to duplicate. or better their efforts of 1888, but to do this they have terrific uphill fight.
 Without seeking to influence vote one way or the other and in a strictly non-partisan statement we'd say that the Socialist vote for Connecticut would fall well below the 100000 mark in November. It may be that we'll want to take this back after the major party candidates have campaigned for awhile, but right now the trend doesn't seem to be to- wards third-party candidates nor does a protest vote loom as heavy one. In fact, Republicans and Democrats might make political capital of the fact that the So- cialist candidate is apparently as famil- jar with political tactics as he ascribes to them.

October 16, 194O

Mark off on your calendars tonight, Wednesday, October 16, 1940. It's an eventful day in the household of practic- ally every American family. There will be few that won't be affected by the ap- preaching draft which will inaugurate the first peacetime universal conscription this nation has ever witnessed. Generally speaking, October 18th ought to be pro- claimed holiday, for it will be that in many ways There will be such Spon- taneous outpouring of the youth of this nation to register that some observance might well be in order.
 Here in Waterbury the initial draftees will probably go to the polling places in the districts in which they now reside and in short order place their names on the list of those who are eligible or who are exempt from service for one year of mill tary training. From then on the machin- cry of the draft will proceed in very mechanical and orderly fashion. It's not a complicated business, this signing up of the youth of the nation between the ages of 21 and 35 years, but it is serious one. Here in Waterbury everyone antici- pates ready, whole-hearted, and unan- imous response by those in the age group.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-09-18

When the Socialist Party nominated Mayor Jasper McLevy for governor at its state convention in Meriden last week. end, it was the eighth time that he had received this honor It was something like eight times, or was it more than that, that Jasper was nominated for mayor in Bridgeport before he succeeded in being elected. Therefore, we presume that he is entitled to keep his hopes high each successive year that he competeS for gu bernatorial honors. Without disparag- ing his vote-getting ability it doesn't seem as if he were destined to achieve this ambition in 1940. It's doubtful, too, if he. can approach his phenomenal 1888 vote of 166,0OO

The Most Important InitiaIs


 Washington is full of alphabetical agencies, HOLCs and RFCs and cCCs. But the most important initials of all are not yet known to the country. They are NDAC. That's the National Defense Advisory Commission. Right now it is the most important of them all.
 The men and women grouped in this body, which is charged with co-ordina- tion of the civilian end of the defense effort, are giving a living demonstration, day by day, that it is possible to serve their country without regard for parti- sanship. They are not all New Dealers; they are not all even Democrats But faced with a national emergency, they are giving daily demonstration of service beyond party and beyond personal interests.
 It is probably true that nothing done in political government can be 100 per cent devoid of politics. Thus the De- fenSe Commissioners have had their share of problems Senators and congressman have been plaguing them for war indus tries plants in their particular constituent cieS There is limit to the amount of this pressure that ought to be applied It was all right in the old days for congress men to work for an appropriation to dredge Goose Creek. That was pork, but it didn't matter then. It matters ter ribly now.
 New defense plants ought to be located wherever the best thought and study of army and defense commission authorities decide they ought to go. It is the nation that calls now and nobody cares a rap whether Goose Creek gets it's slice of pork or not. There is every sign that the commission has worked with only the national view in mind. But it should not be plagued with political requests.
 People of the caliber of William s. Knudsen, Edward R. Stettinius, Sidney Hillman, Leon Henderson, Ralph Budd, Chester Davis, and Harriet Elliott can give the country devoted and non-politi- cal service if they are let alone. They have already shown that, at consider able personal sacrifice, they are willing to do SO.
 Quite regardless of the fact that a Democratic administration is in power, they should be accorded cooperation by anyone on whom they call, of whatever party or group. By the same token the Democratic party ought to claim no credit for what the commission accomplishes. A giant preparedness effort like the one we now face must have one agency like this which is clearly and obviously above party, above pressure, above self.

Selection of Sam" Rayburn as the new Speaker of the House of Representatives was wise one. No more qualified legis- lator could be found among Democratic ranks than the congressman from Texas He is of the same type as the late William B. Bankhead whose death was so abrupt as to shock all official circles in Wash ington. Oddly enough the mortality among House Speakers has been higt of recent years. Time was when House Speaker was good for decade or more years in that office, but not of late. In fact, Mr. Bankhead actually served longer than his immediate predecessors and he assumed the office only in 1936 Prior to him there were the late Joseph w. Byrns of Tennessee (1935-36) and Henry T. Rainey of Illinois (1933-34). Vice president John N. Garner served as Speaker from 1881 to 1883. Prior to that it was in Republican hands, save for Champ Clark's eight yeafs in the Wilson administration

augurated in Europe not only serfdom of labor, but a serfdom of mind.
 Those who desire to behold the fruits which spring from this un- Christian culture of material inter ests should go to England for an il- hlstration. Though the Anglican sect is the state religion, infidelity no. where has made greater progress than in that country. The interior does not address itself like Paul to Aeropogus, but Ike the Aeropogus to Paul, for 1t inculcates an unadul- terated heathenism. The first monu- ment that arrests the attention of the visitor is dedicated to the pagan Fama, who, consoles Brittania for the loss of her heroic sons. The next monument belongs to the heather goddess of Victory, who crowns a Pasenby; while a Minerva calls the attention of passing warriors to La Farchand's death at Salamanca. Then came a Neptune with open arms. Egyptian sphinxes, the East India Company seal. When the prin- cipal religious ediface of nation Is turned into heather temple, the people themselves must become heathenized, and thus we find so here. The Scotchman Ferguson pre- dicted that though would become a trade and La Sale remarks that 1t has already become one in the hands of most English scholars.
 "The London Examiner laterly de- plored that there should be less danger in crossing the great desert than in passing through some Of the more remote suburbs of London ct night"
 The writer includes statistics on education and crime in England of that period with the whole essay leaving the reader with Q rather poor estimate Of the Tasting" power Of the great empire.

such a concerted and successful ta lobby as that which has swarmed the halls of Congress in an effort to gut the alleged ex- cess profits bill.
 Result is that the new tax bill is not an excess profits bill at all. At least two-third of it is an increase on corporation taxes which doesn't even began to take away big business profits on na- tional defense orders. As mat ter of fact, this flat tax makes 1t harder for the smaller firms to compete with the big ones.
 Furthermore, the new tax bill
 will raise only drop in the
 revenue bucket compared with what was expected of it. With some six billions of national de- fense voted at this session of Congress, the new defense bill will be lucky if it nets one- third of a billion dollars.
 TOBACCO LOBBYIST
 Most potent personage-behind the scenes-is shaping the new tax bill was Clay Williams, able and amiable head of the Rey- holds Tobacco company. Wil- harns' influence results from his friendship with Rep. ''MuIey" Bob Doughton, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, who lives just one county away from Clay Williams in North Carolina.
 It is Doughton's job, as chair man of the Ways and Means com- mittee, to write the first draft of a tax bill, and in previous years he has backed up the Treasury's recommendations almost 100 per cent.
 This year, however, Clay Wil- Hams, who is also a pillar of the
