The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-06-22

Now Is the time to do your squawking
about parking meters II you have anything
to saw about their installation along
Waterbury streets. City officials are pres
emily disposed towards giving them q try
here to see II they can improve or rectify
conditions with regard to parking abuses.
The trend towards metered parking
throughout Connecticut has been ap-
parent for a long time. All OF the large
cities are slowly succumbing to 1t and
after trial apparently are giving 1t full
endorsement.
There was a hullabaloo In New Haven
when the meters were first mentioned
and for day or two after they had been
installed there were long spaces OF curb
ing where not a solitary automobile
could be found. Today, though, these
spaces are occupied despite the fact That
1t costs so much to leave your car there
for varying periods OF time. New Haveners
like the meters where they have been
tried out, Judging by this experiment.
Bridgeport also has given way to them
and Hartford Is believed wavering.
Waterbury considered parking meters
when they were first inaugurated, some
five or ten years ago. At that time,
though, everyone thought they were
novelty. But gradually they have be-
come standardized equipment in many
communities where parking problems DO
not abate from one day to another. The
problem is certainly tough one for
local authorities to crack and we don't
think they are to be blamed one bit for
now turning to meters. It may be the
solution of our problems; 1t may be just
another temporary relief. At least it's
worth the try.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-06-22
Yes, We Are Serious!

Does anyone doubt the deadly earnest
ness with which the United States is
entering into its defense program? Let
him talk TO Treasury Secretary Morgen-
thau. Morgenthau has been embarrassed
by flood Of gifts, from dime to $500,
which has been pouring into the Treasury
from people who said, "Use this to help
defend the United States" The Treasury
does not encourage this sort Of thing,
though the law permits 1t to accept such
gifts when given for general purposes
without strings attached.
When people are enough concerned
about defense to send in their dimes and
dollars without even being asked you
know that the plain people are getting
stirred up. And when Che American plain
people get stirred up things happen.
Nothing must be allowed to balk, even
temporarily, a determination as strong
as that shown by these dimes and dollars
freely given.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-06-22

Everybody agreed an arms program,
yesl Higher taxes to pay for 1t? Yes!
Action Let's 60! But most people
thought OF all this as something to cheer
for, perhaps something to pay for, but
vet remote from themselves, something
the other fellow was actually going to do.
Now comes, from the President himself,
the proposal that every young man and
woman Shall devote to his country's service
q year OF his or her life. Some would
train for the fighting forces, some for the
mechanical and technical services which
keep modern fighting forces IN motion,
some in conservation work along CCC
lines some in ways not yet clearly out.
lined. But all serving their country, ana
preparing themselves to know how 70
serve 1t effectively In some later crisis
The President has apparently put TINS
idea before the American people IN
trial balloon" even before submitting
It in detailed form to Congress, which
alone has power to adopt any such plan.
It Is revolutionary, no less. To propose
any such plan for peacetime operation
would at any prior time In American his
tory have produced storm OF opposition.
Today even those who oppose 1t Will give
It gravest consideration. At no prior
time In the countrys history has 1t ever
faced a world such as 1t faces today. Pre-.
cedents are no guide, as England and
France know to their cost. This proposal
must be considered squarely In the light
OF today's conditions.
II any further reason was needed why
Congress should stay In session and not
adjourn, the President has provided 1t
by advancing this proposal for universal
service. The working out OF plan OF any
such magnitude, involving literally mil
lions OF young men and women, Is stag
Cering task. First, II Is Congress which
must decide whether 1t Is to be done at
all.
Then 1t will be Congress which must
reduce the general plan to specific terms.
The sooner 1t gets down to both tasks,
the sooner the whole thing will be either
discarded IN favor Of something else or
begin to be effective. In todays world
everything depends on time. Those tragic:
words, "too late" which were the doom OF
Europe, must not be written OF the United
States.

weeks ago prominent party members said
that Roosevelt would have to put Republic

They certainly can't deny now that they
didn't take them at their word. Unfortu-
nately for the COP, though, he made their

dental and vice-presidential winner, the

ONE IN THE
EYE FOR C. !. o.
The skirmishing began early this
spring, when FDR finally decided
that something must be done to clip
the labor boards wings and tone
down the act itself. Congressional
Mary Norton OF New Jersey, head OF
the House Labor Committee, shaped
O set of amendments to meet the adj
ministration's ideas, These involved,
chiefly, increasing the board 10 five
members, protecting craft unions
and providing that employers could
petition for an election II they got
caught In jam between two rival
unions.
The @. I. o. promptly declared
war on these amendments. The
administration thereupon went to
the A. +. of L., which welcomed
the amendments with whoop.
The administration figured this
would head off more drastic
amendments, and the A, r. OF L.
figured It would be one In the eye
for the G. ]. o.
AMENDMENT
DISOWNED
The G. I. o. saw II Just the way
the A. r. Of l.. did, and began to
put the heat on. II did this so ef-
fectively that Mrs. Norton presently
disowned her own amendments.
About this time Congressman
Howard Smith Of Virginia got busy
on his own hook. He went to Pres
ident Green Of the A. r. Of L. To see
II they couldn't work out o DEAL
They had o number Of talks, got no
where, and finally broke of negotia-
tons.
Then q fellow-member Of Smiths
investigating committee, Congress-
man Routzohn of Ohio, came TO the
rescue. Through him. the broken
negotiations were resumed, and IN
the end there was an agreement
Smith would drop some amendments
which the A. II, OF l.. leaders just
couldn't swallow and would put In
tho ones the A. +. OF l., especially
wanted--and In return the A, r. OF
l.. would support the rest OF his
amendments,
SURPRISE FOR
MRS. NORTON
This left Mrs. Norton high dry
and nowhere. She thought the A.
r. OF l.. was back OF her, and not
until the debate was In full swing
did she find II on the firing line
opposing her, Tho result was q
rout with the Smith-A. r. Of L.
amendments passing BY O huge
majority.
However the house-approved
bill goes much farther than The A.
r. OF L. really wants. Current issue
OF the A. r OF l. weekly news letter
admits as much and says that "the
federation will now strive TO have
the senate eliminate certain features
OF the bill which are considered
Objectionable"
Chances are pretty good that the

New Britains Common Council re-
ceived surprise resolution last week,
which Is still being talked about It
called for the city to ask the federal
government to furnish New Britain with
anti.aircraft guns for protection against
enemy attacks. The proposer, member
OF the council, claimed that New Britain
was an industrial city and that In the
event Of foreign aggression against the
United States such centers would be OBJ
jects OF attack. Whether or not there Is
any urgency, though, for cities like New
Britain, or even Waterbury, to consider
such.

The designation OF Speaker Of the House
William B. Bankhead as keynoter OF the
Democratic National Convention, sched-
uled for Chicago next month, was prob
ably at the request OF President F. D.
Roosevelt, for he had indicated a strong
desire to have the ALBANIAN assume this
important role. But, according to WASH
ington newsmen, 1t wasn't exactly to
Bankhead's own liking. He has been
more or less interested In the vice-presi-
dental nomination Of late months and
with a fair chance OF being accorded this
honor he naturally would not want to be
made keynote speaker which almost au-
tomatically removes him from the list of
eligibles. BY the same token Senator
Alben Barley Of Kentucky Is also taken
neatly out OF the running for the same
office by being named as permanent
chairman Of the convention, a post which
he can handle very nicely, but which
naturally keeps his name out Of possible
nominations.

Therefore it Is hoped that the
fleet, being the personal property
OF the King, will be ordered by
him to Canada where the royal
family probably will take refuge.
Unlike the French fleet, which
takes orders from the French gov
eminent, the British fleet would
not necessarily have 10 obey the
British parliament.
II this happens, there Is sure
to be close cooperation between
the U. 8. and British navies to
protect the Western Hemisphere.
II II doesn't happen, the U. 8. A.
will DO up against the tough and
almost impossible Job Of uphold
