HOPE FOR CREW

Although it was assumed Luet-

circles held out hope that some of
the crew may have taken to life
boats when the situation became
hopeless.
Others said il was likely Luet-
jens may have ordered his ship

tween 1000 and LOO men, was

A Thought for TOday
Demand Has Caught Up

Tt,s a bit hard to believe it, but the demand for doctors and physicians has caught up with the supply, According to statistics offered in the American Medi- cal Association Journal the 5000 grad uateS of medical schools each year is just about the number needed to take care of lnterneShipS vacant in our hospitals and other such similar institutions. In short, today the medical profession finds itself caught up" on production. It's no longer an overcrowded one.
 And the chances are that for some years to come there will be room for even more than 5000 medical grads every year. The Army and the Navy and all the other branches of American military service are making inroads Physicians, surgeons, dentists, and veteranarians are being sought in large numbers to care for the growing corps of armed branches of service, At the present rate of growth 1922 will find an army of three or four thousand medical practitioners required to care for men in the service.
 This should be good news for the young man in college or medical school A few years ago the future might have seemed somewhat hazy so far as the average would-be doctor was concerned, but our preparations for defense and war have changed all that. Instead of crowded profession there are growing signs of a serious lack of trained and competent medical men. In such time as this the youth of the nation, with eyes towards Q profession in the future, can well feel that hard work and sacrifices may be worth the effort

sdual citizenship" That is, they permit their nationals to go to another country and become citizens there, yet retaining a claim on their loyalty to the homeland. Many people of Japanese, German and Italian origin, for instance, are dual citt- zens of this country and of their home. land Germans coming to Mexico, and other Latin countries, freely take out citizenship there, never assuming for an instant that this alters their relationship to the homeland.
 Secretary of War Stimson has proposed legislation to eliminate complications arising from such "dual citizenship" He says. he has evidence that advantages gained by such system have been used to facilitate. spy work. His bill would provide that any national considered un- der the laws of another country to be 8 subject of that other country may be required to appear before a U. s. comnlS- sioner and either renounce United States citizenship or formally renounce any allegiance elsewhere. Refusal would sub- feet the national to deportation. As long as national citizenship is a recognized and apparently necessary institution, 1t must mean all or nothing. Other countries may tolerate or even en- courage in their laws such divided royalties. There is no room for them here. American citizenship either means undivided and unreServed loyalty to America, or 1t means nothing at all. This bill is worth Congress earnest at- tention.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-11-22
Expense Is Heavy

Few people realize the amount of money that will be spent in the next six or seven weeks within the Fifth Congress Sional District, where special election is to be held on January 20. The task of finding a replacement for Judge J. Joseph Smith, now presiding in the fed eral court of Connecticut, is not one that can be done at minimum expense. The formality of election is, even when only two or three candidates contest for the sole office, just about the same as If there was a host of candidates for different offices.
 Setting up election machinery in the towns of the Fifth District is in itself a considerable task and one that will cost each community fairly substantial sum, depending on the number of registered voters. Such an expense can't be escaped as it is more or less a fixed charge on every election regardless of who or what, Add to that the sums that must be ex- pended by the political parties repre- Sented and the total expenditures are considerable to say the very least.
 All of which may be brushed aside with the statement that these are serious times and representation in Congress IS essential for every section of the nation. It remains perhaps a bit debatable, though, if an eleven months continued vacancy in office imposes any more prob lems than the interim between the re- cent resignation of Judge Smith and the announced date of election of this suc- cessor. In short the district has lacked and will lack for two more months an elected Representative. The odds, how ever, are heavily in favor of the election process going through as provided by law, regardless of outcome or added local expense.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-11-22
Dual Citizenship

It would probably be fine thing if the world were such that national bor- ders could be less rigid than they are. A man is first of all man, a member of the human race, and there should be no finer title than that of "citizen of the world" !" Some day this may come. It has not come as yet. For the past 50 years the tendency has been the other way, toward raising and tightening the barriers be- tween one country and another. It would be plain suicide for any country, in this world of ultra-nationalism run riot, to let down those barriers when others will not. And to allow breaches in our own barriers to be regularly used as channels for flooding subversive influences into the country is simply stupid.
 Most Americans probably do not know even the meaning of the term dual cit izenship." Tn our simplicity, we always assume that to be citizen of our coun- trv means undivided loyalty to this coun- krv and to this country alone. Because Americans generally have this simple, un- complicated view of the matter, very few of them ever become naturalized citizens of another country. They feel the finallty of the step. knowing that they would rem der the same undivided loyalty to a new country that they paid to their own. Not siI countries of 0eople take tlaIs view: I|lsre sEn NsHc eopntrleS kscq9

The Coward's Way

Lord Halifax, British ambassador to the United States, has now joined as 8 charter member an organization of which Wendell Willkie, last Republican nominee for president, is a founder. Both men met the same treatment. Both weathered the same kind of incident. Both were subjected to the same form of rowdy attack. They were struck by eggs of ancient lineage. They were the victims of an old form of hoodlumism that has sprung up again in this country in the past few months.
 It is this: when you can't answer a mans arguments, or do not like the man himself, or hate his party or his country, throw something at him. It is what a baboon does when 8 man enters hiS native jungle, The act is unAmerican. It is uncivilized. It is cowardly. The rotten eggs that were thrown at Halifax were not half as rotten as the spirit that animated the throwerS.

He was 2i years old when he left home to roam through the mining areas of the Far West, and later to become Q tough union organs i1er.
 Fabulous stories were told about him even ct that time: that he ate three raw beefsteaks for breakfasts, that he had once feiled a mine mule with Q blow of his fist, that he pounded on the desks until trembling state legislatures passed the labor laws he dc. handed.
 In this mythology was . cers tain core of truth. John L. Lewis got what he wanted by letting no man stand In his way, and he glOried In that reputas tlOn.
 Furthermore, he was fighting mine owners who were just as tough aS he, and frequently more ruthless: men who were culling the cream of the countTy's coal without regard to the future; men who would rather see entire cities cave in than spend money on mine props: men who made the green hills of Pennsylvania and west Virginia dreary and desos late with piles of black waste.

The latest along the motor front Is that there will be an adequate supply Of anti-freeze solutions for New England motorists this winter. A month ago we were warned that the supply was limited. So low was declared to be the supply avail able for distribution throughout New Eng land that in the sections like northern Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont car owners were planning on storing their vehicles rather than try to operate them without sufficient nonfreezing fluid m the radiators. Why such contradictory reports should get around is more than we can understand. It's just the same as It was with the gasoline scare. We were told that supplies would be low this winter and New England would have to ration out fuel. This was exploded and now 1t seems as If the anti-freeze supply shortage is just as big myth. Two m one season Is too much.

Down in Bridgeport the Christmas lighting scheme throughout the business sections of the city is going to be cur tailed. A government ban on extraya- gant lighting systems is declared to De the reason for decision not to have the streets brilliantly lighted from now until Christmas. That's an exemplary attl- tude to take, but we thought that Con- necticut was in no danger of a shortage in electric power. So far as we know there has never been any question about curtailing electric supplies throughout the state. However, 1t may be possible that such a curtailment is necessary, but from all indications 1t won't because power companies declare themselves pre- pared to handle any and all demands.
