Politics
 -in- Passing

BY RAYMOND J. FITZPATRICK
 What to do about the compensa- lion coEnmissionership in the fifth district has Gov. Raymond E. Bald win and his official family at Hart ford quite a bit worried. They're afraid it's one of those cases where in they'll be criticized no matter what they do.

The term of the incumbent, Com missioner James M. Lync1l, expires Jan. 1, a week before Gov. Bald win has to leave office, since the state constitution provides that the gubernatOrial term begins on the first Wednesday after the first Monday of January in odd numbered years. Commissioner Lynch is able, respected and has remained alOOR from politics, so ordinarily the expectation would be that he would be reappointed. But it happens that MT. Lynch is 8 Democrat. That's the rub.

Local party leaders are in quan- dary over whether to go or not to go. They don't want to offend the govern0F-elect, and yet they don't want to help anything di- rected by Senator Culhane. The chances are that at least some of those listed among the invited guests will not be on hand, either because of timely illnesses, official duties or even blunt refusal to have anything to do with the af- fair.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-11-30

The first heavy snowfall of the year last Tuesday night, and the traffic difficulties in the days that have followed, bring up the question of snow removal, which caused such a controversy last winter. One phase of it might be taken up today is that of state aid.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-11-30

There is no question of Commis- sioner Lynch's fitness for the job;
 the only objection to his reap pointment is that he is a Demo- crat. If a record of thorough fair ness, detailed study of all cases, and solid knowledge of the law applied in a humane way counts for ayn- thing, then Jimmy" Lynch should be feappointed.

1t is quite possible that the Brit

of Lord Willingdon's mission to
South America with his record as
a cricketer. When he was appointed

easily. Genial, discreet and digni-
fed, he is one of the shrewdest
negotiators and best trouble-shoot-
ers of the realm This was his
reputation during his service in In
dia, from 1919 to 1923, his later
service as Viceroy of India and as
Governor General of Canada.
He was never a die-hard imperial
list and in India was the first British
administrator to Introduce social
equality among British and Indians.
In Parliament, as Freeman Free
man Thomas in the early years Of
his political career, he was Liberal
whip in 1905. His family drew
vast fortune from West Indian
plantations.
In addition to Lord Wilmington,
the South American mission includes
large and impressive personnel,
titled and untitled, all widely ex-
perienced in empire trade problems.

Once again the question of ad-

a burning issue. Majority leader

whether votes enough to that end

come questionable. Sentiment in
the House appears to prefer the
three day recess system. notWlth-
standing members desire to go home

international situation in unceas-

Senate feel 1t would not only be
unwise in the national interest for
Congress not to stay in session, but
that the effect on the political for

 to Armistice

Hartford, Conn, Nov. ll-(UP)-- Conencticut's vital armaments in dustries hummed along at top speed today-the 22nd anniversary of the Armistice-pausing only for two minutes at II a. m.. to pay silent tribute to the dead of the first Worl War. By gubernatorial procla- nation the day was legal holiday, but it's observance was confined principally to the closing of public offices, banks and schools, and through the holding of memorial services in the many communities which sent its soldiers to the great conflict.
 Shortly before II o'clock, cannon on the State Capitol lawn boomed out 2l gun salute, and the solemn notes of Taps" floated over Bush nell Memorial Park. Bells tolled in the tower of Christ Church Cathed- ral as the Hartford Federation of Churches opened it's Armistice Day services. On New Haven's historic Central Green veterans ograniza- tions massed their colors in front of Center church, where 165 years ago colonial troops prayed for divine guidance before waging the opening phase of the revolutionary war.
 The largest military turnout of the state was at Hartford. where hundreds of draft registrants swung along the llne of march led by the national guard. members of veterans and patriotic organizations, the Naval reserves and the famous Governors Foot and Horse Guards.
