Under the accelerated program

UNDER THE DOME
The Presidents rlght-hand aide
during the three hectic days OF
drafting the defense program was
Secretary Harry Hopkins. He
moved to the White House and like
Roosevelt stayed up one night un-
I'll 3 O. m, One thing that
struck Roosevelt forcibly during
delivery Of his message to Con-
gress was the silence OF the Re-
publican side. A number of Re-
publican Senators, sitting in the
front rows, joined In the applause,
but the Representative did not.
One exception was Representative
James Wadsworth Of New York.
80. Going down the House ele-
vator to his car, the President
commented on this to members Of
the White House staff. Three
Senators who did not join in the
applause when Roosevelt entered
were Hiram johnson Of California,
Harry Byrd of Virginia, and Hol-
man of Oregon.

DOLL SHORTAGE
New York SUM


An odd sidelight on the war is
the statement of the proprietor of
q doll hospital" at Fort Worth,
Tex. that it is creating a shortage
in dolls and doll parts. He points
out that mos. dolls came origin
ally from Germany and other Eur
opean countries, and, OF course,
those nations are directing their
energies in other directions than
making dolls. He says dolls are
handed down through generations
and 1t Is necessary that parts come
from abroad to hepair dolls when
they are broken. However IL would
seem that American manufacturers
can do as we'll. IL not better. than
Europeans In providing cur girls
with dolls.

Aid For Motorists

The Meriden Journal feels that some
means of affording protection for motor
lists driving along dark-surfaced roads at
night might be provided by laying strip
of white concrete down the middle Of
these roadways rather than simply paint
white lines at various danger points. This
isn't a bad suggestion, but might be
vetoed on the point OF cost. Our personal
reaction to such discussions Is that mo-
florists today are badly In need Of some
means OF penetrating the dense fogs
which so often overhang Connecticut
highways,
Probably due to the contours OF the
state certain climatic conditions in
duce extensive pockets of fog, Once road
Is engulfed by this mist 1t Is we'll nigh
impossible until vagrant breeze has
blown 1t to one side or lifted 1t enough
for car lamps TO explore the regions close
to the pavement. All cars are not
equipped with fog-lamps and even If they
were the problem would not be entirely
solved, for we've experienced fogs which
these lights did not penetrate very well.
Some means of following the roadway
through fog might be devised, though
to aid the motorlst. White lines through
the middle of the pavement are fine, but
they usually don't last more that few
hundred yards at the most before an
open stretch compels the car TO crawl.
White fences alongside are also good, but
there again the fence line has to run out
at some point. We really need a mag
netic thread of some description to shine
ahead Of US through the dense fog,
