The Yankee Trader

Ten years from now or perhaps even
sooner this land of ours, all things being
equal, will hail Franklin D. Roosevelt as
typically American in his handling of that
recent Yankee swap whereby the United
States has traded fifty destroyers of World
War vintage to Great Britain in exchange
for valuable naval and air bases scattered
up and down the Atlantic coast. There'd
be more enthusiasm expressed through
out the nation today were it not for par
tisan poison that permeates many minds
and forbids recognition of the coup.
This exchange will probably 60 down
in history eventually and be mentioned
along with such things as the Louisiana
Purchase which already has been COM
pared, the Alaskan Purchase, and maybe
even the sale of the island of Manhattan
by the Indians to the Dutch. There are
countless other examples of Yankee trad
ing down through the history of this New
World. But there's no reason why the
nation shouldn't extend to it's chief ex-
ecutive today the seasons award for the
best swap of the day.

the defense program; that there
have been no strikes or jurisdic-
tional fights between rival unions.
Inside light on how this record
has been chalked up was the
threatened AFL-CIO clash at Ia
coma, WASH, last week and how
Hillman cut it short.
The row arose out of two-year
old decision of the National La
Dor Relations Board favoring the
CLIO longshoremen's union. On
Friday, September 6, the AFL
longshoremen'S union staged
walk-out against their CLIO rivals,
and 1t seemed as if the North
west was in for another siege of
the costly jurisdictional labor war
that has so plagued it.
When Hillman got word of this
on Saturday morning, he immedi-
ately inquired If national defense
production would be affected. He
was told it would not, also that
peace moves were under way.
Tuesday he checked again, this
time satisfied himself that defense
was involved. He waited another
day for an agreement to be
reached, then swung aggressively
into action on Thursday.
Telephoning union officials in
Tacoma, he warned: ''That strike
must be called off at once. It's
not in the interest of national de-
Tense. Go back to work and well
settle this by arbitration"
Next he called the NLRB, terse-
ly asked for reopening of the
old controversy. Then he tele-
phoned Joe Ryan, head of the
AFL union.
"Joe," he said. 'That juris-
diction fight in Tacoma can't

your union are patriotic and
don't want TO do anything to

Few Voters Register

There is need for education of Water
bury voters, particularly those registered
with one political group, when only a bare
5000 of them exercised their right 10
vote in the Democratic primary yester-
day. The outcome, which saw the pop
ular, likeable, and Woodworking State
Senator Edward P. Egan virtually re-
nominated in a three-Way contest and
newcomer in the person of the highly
accomplished, well-liked, and handsome
head of the Waterbury Bar Association,
ATTORNEY Michael v. Blansfeld, beat the
veteran Senator George T. Culhane, was
achieved with less than SO per cent OF
the registered Democrats voting in all
thirty-two of the city's election districts.
We don't think the results in the city's
two senatorial districts would have been
greatly changed had higher percentage
of voters responded yesterday, so it actu-
ally can't be argued that more votes
might have changed the standing. But
all five candidates in the senatorial race
worked hard to put their slate OF dele
gates across and it's not highly comph-
mentary to either themselves or their
ardent organization workers when the
voter response is so small. We do think
that if voter is going to register with
any of the political parties it should be
for a definite purpose and that purpose
was best served yesterday by casting
ballot.
Party leaders need to do bit of preach
ing here in Waterbury. There has been
demand of recent years for more primary
contests and fewer behind-the-scenes
manipulation of nominations. In the last
two years primary contests have been held
here, but on the basis of voter interest the
demand for them has yet to be substan-
tiated. It's up to registered voters to
indulge in primary voting If they want
leaders to preach it or demand 1t.

Dockxard Dolly

Just when one begins to think that
the war IS just about as bad as it can get,
that men are Hopping dismally back
into brutal barbariSm, come the little
light touches that illuminate even the
grimmeSt scene. At Dover, down in the
"hot corner" of England, air raids and
air battles have been as bitter as have
been seen anywhere. Taking desperate
chances, German raiders recently dived
down through thick anti-aircraft fire to
bring down number of barrage bal
looms.
Favorite balloons had been named by
the British defenders: Dockyard Dolly,
Undulating Ursula, Willie, and King Lear
VII all dropped dismally to earth. Men
with enough humor to christen thus their
favorite balloons, Swaying above them as
the bomberS come over, will be hard to
beat In the fury of war they have APP
parently managed to save their sense of
humor. That gives hope for the future.

Looking over the film releases for the
coming season the setup looks like west
ern films were in the majority. There
are many westerns in the offing as well as
historical pictures, with American back
ground Such pictures give an escape
from the stern realities of the life of the
day, and this is good time for escape
ism in pictures. And this sort of pictures
is better at the present time than an
influx of war pictures which only serve
to excite and present picture which
resolves in the mind of the writer who
may just happen not to know what he
is talking about. But he's giving the
public something hair-raising and aimed
at being good box office. If it's choice be-
tween present day war pictures and west
ems, give us westerns. No one knows
enough about the details of the war at
the present time to write about them,
calmly and truthfully.

Good Selections

The election yesterday of states OF dele
gates pledged to support the nomina-
lions of Michael V. Blansfield in the 18th
senatorial district and Edward P. Egan
in the 18th will prove pleasing to Jar
more Democratic voters than appeared
at the thirty-two polling places to regis
ter their choice. Of the 10000 registered
Democratic voters far less than half voted
at the primaries, but it's safe to say that
well beyond $4,000 Democrats will pull
the top lever on November which Will
safely insure the election of MIR. Egan ana
MIR. Blansfeld.
We could say and write much OF both
these potential candidates. They are line
types of public citizens and Waterbury,
if thew are elected to the State Senate, Will
never have any regret that it chose them.
MI. Egan has already served term IN the
Senate and performed his duties faithfully
and energetically. He was a jealous
servant for the City of Waterbury seek
ing to preserve and advance its interests
at all times while in the legislative cham
beers. vet at the same time maintaining
certain dignity of office that won him
both the respect and admiration OF his

We know that Mr.. Blansield, if elected
from the 18th district, will be equally as
efficient and cooperative in seeking legls-
lation of distinct benefit to this COM
munity and in general endeavorlng TO
cooperate in the passage of laws and acts
that will give to citizens OF Connecticut
a state in which they are all proud to
live. His reputation as lawyer and as
private citizen is such that we can eX-
pect much from him in Hartford.
AS supporters of Democratic candidates
for public office, with very few exceptions,
The Democrat is proud to be able TO
endorse the candidates of Senator Egan
and Attorney Blansdeld, the same to be

nominations will mean election, but we're
of the opinion that this will come true.

WHO is PAUL REVERE?
(Hartford Courant)

Paul Revere was one of those I'M
fortunates whose luck 1t was to be
given a taste of fame and then
showed back into the ranks with the
rest of us poor mortals. Not that
the Boston patriot was failure
after his daring ride to rouse the
colonists on the Lexington and Con-
cord road, but his star was definitely
in eclipse. His subsequent career in
the Continental army is a record of
routine service marked only by a
court-martial for disobedience, and
although civilian life brought him
measure of distinction as crafts
man in metal, that good fortune was
dimmed by ugly rlmors to the effect
that If he did spread that famous
alarm over twenty-six miles Of coun-
tryside, which many doubted, he
never completed the job in one night
leaving most Of the work to fell
low Minuteman, William Dawes.

Gene Tunney is doing great amount
of work in forming his non-partisan or
ganization known as the National Foun-
dalton of American Youth. His attitude
is commendable and there is no time
like the present to appeal to youth
and get them started along the right
path. His organization was begun when
he came to grips with the American
Youth Organization which has undergone
no little criticism for it's communistic
leanings. Among other things Tunney
wants American youth to be interested in
the coming presidential election and not
to shirk their duties as voters.
