Ordinarily the Army and Navy don't air their private differences but feelings over this issue have become SO heated that unless the top brasshatS step in and order silencers a lot of very interesting information will come to light about Navy interference in prior ity matters which VII hang no medals on the admirals.
 It will be disclosed that due to wholly unnecessary Navy hogBli1g of steel production, tank output for the Army and the Lend-Iease program has been seriously cur- tailed.
 Also It will be revealed--un- less the TOlan committee & cerEored - that the various Navy construction and supply branches have deliberate pol- Icy of secFetlng statistics on materials they have on hand or on order, so that even OpM, re. sponslhle for all defense produc- ton, cannot get any accurate data.
 It has never been disclosed, but several months ago Navy Un- der Secretary James Forrestal, concerned about complaints of Navy hoarding, attempted to set up . statistical agency within the Navy to get the facts.
 He persuaded Secretary Frank Knox to issue an order creating the agency. But before For. restal could get the experts he wanted, the brasshats scuttled the ,whole plan. Since then OPM has been trying to get some data. but was even unable to get any figures on the amount of steel, aluminium, copper and other met- als that went Into the giant new North Carolina.
 Tolan has invited both Army and Navy officials to attend his hearings and If they tang!e, lot of fur should fly. Be rind the scenes they have been sputtering at one another for months.

While interest right now in Waterbury is centered in work along Bank Street where we're getting brand new surface, not to mention the new Baldwin Street bridge, and the scond pipeline, a lot of people are hoping that the proposed new plan of street lighting isn't too far away. Some time ago there was an ink ling of what might come revealed, From time to time various city officials or boards have disclosed that the city has plans for new types of lights that will make our thoroughfares as bright as day after nightfall, yet eliminate the glare that often comes with such lights. There are certain stretches of central thorough fare that should be dressed up with new lighting and we hope it is provided for the winter months.

NO SACRIFICES OF AMERICAN LIVES FOR BRITAIN
 WORTH WHILE

To Editor of The Democrat:
 To the fathers of Waterbury and to your wives who are the mothers of American Sons who gre about to be sacrificed in @ suicidal at- tempt to reconquer the continent of Europe while all except a token of the British army will remain In England for its home defense.
 You Gold Star mothers elect Of this current war may not realize that your side has reached the turning point in its fight against involvement in foreign war but this only emphasizes the fact that you must fight all the harder to save your sons from dying on the altar of British imperialism with Joe Sta- lin acting as altar boy and Pagan Adolph as executioner while a penitent Benito in rear pew mutt ters belated prayers of contrition as an unwilling but easily tntlu- enced partner in sin.
 I know that you mothers and fathers would give your sons for American defense. know that your sons are willing to die for Ameri- can defense. They are not babies But why should they be sacrificed in an attempt to conquer Eu- rope for Britain. Let us for once follow the advice of Lord Lothian the late British ambassador to the United States when he said shortly after World War No. Quote ''1lae greatest contribution that Great Britain could possibly make for the peace of Europe would be to with draw British control and influence from Europe" and now the following lines are from Holy Gospel:
 "And it came to pass afterwardl that Jesus went into . city that | called Naim: and there went witf Him His deciples and 8 great mul' titude.

German Volunteers

At this distance, it is hard to guess what lies behind the German announce ment that they are opening the s. s. Elite Corps to volunteers from IT to 45. Germany has had conscription, of course, for many years = any man in the Reich was subject to military service at the Fuehrer's will. Why volunteers at this stage of the game? It might be pub: licity play to announce later flood of volunteers, thus showing the world the great and enthusiastic support of Hitler. It might mean that among men of 4S, many of whom are probably World War veterans, Hitler prefers to have in his s. s. Corps only those who volunteer.
 A draft of men of this age might in- clude many who remember too well the free days of the Weimar Republic, and who are less pliable Nazis than the younger men. It might mean only that

Needs Some Study

The negotiations now underway between state officials and the British embassy at Washington relative to lifting taxes on British-owned property now being used for defense manufacturing purposes should be studied by our city officers so that when action is taken they'll know just what has been done and to what extent their own municipality is to pc called upon to provide exemptions. Ac- cording to recent reports Waterbury IS one of five cities in the state where there are British-owned defense plants.
 How true this is no one apparently knows right now, although an effort to check on the reliability of the claim has been made. But the fact remains that if exemptions from local taxation are granted for such British-owned property It may happen, as Mayor John w. Mur- phv of New Haven points out, that the focal tax structure will be upset. If the citv plans a grand list of a certain number of millions, then is requested oy the State Tax Department to grant ex-- emptions running into hundreds of thou- sands of dollars it's easy to see how budget might be ruined.
 On the other hand there is tendency on the part of some taxpayers to impure as to the real owners of this property which is said to be involved here in Con- necticut. If it is privately owned in Brl- tain, there certainly will be demand that Connecticut-owned (meanlng owned oy and managed by our own residents and taxpayers) defense plants get just as much exemption. While it is perfectly all right for the federal government to ex- tend courtesies to foreign governments setting up embassies and such in this country, it's doubtful if this should be extended into the field of business if for eign interests choose to operate here.
 So, it would appear as if there might be lot more said about this request for tax exemption for British properties m Connecticut. They should be accorded all the rights granted under law to domes- tic ones, but it's hard to figure out why they should be granted privileges.

Like Norway?

As was to be expected, German indigna- tion waxes high at the invasion of Iran by the British and Russians. Says the Boersen Zeitung, "a classical case of brutal attack on a neutral state which had done everything to prevent war and respect the interests of third parties and dedicated itself entirely toward peaceful internal reconstruction.
 How good a description of Iran that is, we don't know, but 1t certainly sounds like a perfect description of Norway.

Bowling, one of Connecticut's favorite indoor sports, is expected to enjoy one of it's biggest seasons this fall. winter, and spring. Bowling is distinctly a cold weather sport, but once engaged in it's usually good for six-month duration However, there may be one handicap this year - lack of help to man the alleys. Time will tell whether owners and man. aeers have surmounted this obstacle.

Selected Poem
LAMENT

(Gerald Battery in the New York Times) I weep for Happy Hooligan
 And Maud, his trusty mule The comics that I used to scan
 When first went to school. I miss those joyous capers
 From the good old days of yore. For the "funnies" in the papers Aren't funny any more. There are heroes, hard as granite,
 Taking of in rocket planes To attack some distant planet
 Out in Saturn's dim domains. While the c men and detectives
 Make old Sleuth and Sherlock Holmes Look like mental defectives
 Or pair of dopey -uomes. The funny stuff is in eclipse;
 It wrinkles up my brow To find that modern comic strips
 Are nst so comic now

was carried out, the only son of his mother: and she was widow; and d great multitude of the city was with her. Whom when the Lord had seen, being moved with mercy towards her, He said to her: weep not" "And He came near and touch ed the bier. And they that carried 1t, stood still. And He said: Young man, I say to thee, arise. And he that was dead, sat up, and began to speak. And He gave him to ms mother.
 "And there came a fear on them all; and they glorified God saying; A great prophet is risen up among us: and God hath visited His peo- ple'." End from Gospel.
 And again quote:
 "Millicns ef aged mothers throughout the world still live to mourn their sons whose lives were sacrificed in war to end wars and for an idle dream of keeping the world safe for democracy.
 "In vain have many of them iook- ed to their government for some thing more than a band of red rib- bon or a faded gold star to com memorate their loss.
 "In vain millions of them have reaped the reward of insecurity and poverty together with the bangs 0l broken hearts.

 "AS Cardinal Mercier once said: Oh, Christian mothers, be proud of your sons. Of all griefs, of all our human sorrows, yours is perhaps the most worthy of veneration. I think I behold you in your affliction, but erect, standing at the side of the Mother of Sorrows, at the foot of the Cross. Suffer us to offer you not only our coincidence, but our congratulation. Not all our heroes obtain temporal honors in this world, but for all we expect the im- mortal crown of the elect in the next. For this is the virtue if 8 single act of perfect charity; 1t can- cels a whole lifetime of sins. It transforms 8 sinful man into @ saint
 And you young mothers of this generation, learn from the past. Recognize that in Christ alone can you place your hope-the same Christ Who will repeat for every Christian mother the story once en- acted at Main in Palestine.
 Some day He will prove to an incredulous world that love Is not times fool. Some day we are quite sure that He will give your boy back bright, pure and beautiful. We know He wil; but keep our own and His until we fall asleep. We know that He does not mean to break the stands reaching between the here of this world ard the there of eternity; for we believe in the immortality of the soul. the resur- rection of the body following the last taps when the last light of this world will have been extinguished. l"
