Bridgeport's Beaches

The problem of preventing Brldgeport'S beaches from becoming open cesspools was brought to the fore during the hear- ing In Hartford this week before a con- gressional committee Investigating the effects of an influx of migratory workers into Connecticut defense industry cen- ters. Mayor Jasper McLevy, always firm believer In letting Uncle Sam do a lot for the community, said that the fed eral government would have to spend a lot of money to prevent disruption reach ing into his city.
 While housing conditions were point cd out as serious despite the fact that Bridgeport has probably fared better than any other Connecticut city in pro- curing federal aid in this respect, the i'm portant thing, to Mayor McLevy's way Of thinking, seemed to be proper sanitation facilities for a greatly increased popu- lace. This would naturally include an adequate water supply and expanded sewer facilities and disposal means. With regard to the latter phase of health pro- lection the mayor said thousands of users of the citys bathing beaches were threat. ened.
 It seems to this writer that this prob- lem is not one that has resulted from migratory worker difficulties for we have heard Bridgeport's beaches criticized for many years past. The city remained as lax as Waterbury or any of the others without proper disposal systems. But of recent years we thought that Bridgeport had met this situation with sewage dis posal plants and was rapidly correcting deplorable conditions in the Sound. How ever, If Bridgeport thinks 1t is bad off in this respect 1t should study our problem which is much more complicated.
 Faced with all these troubles Connec- ticut cities ought to get together now, pool all their respective woes, and come up with a real workable solution. There is one to be worked out and 1t might more easily be found through little mutual endeavor.

Always Impressive

An Eucharistic Congress is always i'm presSive, whether one reads about 1t in the daily newspapers or is an active par ticipant in the many ceremonies. Ger tainly the present one at St. Paul, Min nesota, where our own beloved Arch bishop John G. Murray presides, is by way of providing plenty of contrasts to events on the other side of the world. Out in the Twin Cities thousands upon thou sands of Catholics, and no doubt many of other religious beliefs, are renewing their faith; are raising their arms to heaven to pray for peace among all peo- ples
 Age-old rites are being performed by attending clerics of high and low rank. Men, women, and children are kneeling in prayer or raising their voices in the blended harmony of simple hymn of praise-glory to God in the highest. All this is very elemental and to some people quite uncomprehensive Their modern day beliefs have crowded out the simple little things they probably were taught In childhood. But if they would only read the barest non-sectarian accounts of this great Congress they could not but be inl- p bued with ideas other than those of nateriallstic age.
 We don't think that even writers would feel that 2l,00000o American Catholics would fall victims to the ruthless rule of Naziism in the event the Vatican fell before Hitlers European sweep in the face of this awe-inspiring spectacle at St. Paul Exemplification of faith in such manner as this, accompanied by digni- fled and serious discussion of the prac- tlcal problems of the day. are sufficient to convince us of the solid foundation on which this religion and It's followers rests.

 Now we find ourselves short of mater ials. Aluminium, rubber, copper, zinc, and many similar materials must he rataoned. This might easily reach Q point, fears Peter R, NehemlSis of the OpM's defense contract service, where third of Amer lean industry will be faced with the grim reality of guns versus butter" Not less than ten entire industries whose supplies are being either curtailed or shut off entirely may be faced with the stark prospect of either finding some ly. For time, in other words, there may even be more, not fewer unemployed, with windows in small plants making unessentlalS going dark that lights may blaze brighter in the windows of vital arms and defense plants
 In Q word, there is tendency, under pressure of the defense effort, to eltmi- nate the small enterprise entirely. Ne- hemkis is properly concerned about this prospect he Is right in suggesting that eff we permit total blackout of small business we shall have richly cult. vated the soil for fascist dictatorship" He might have added Tor a Communist dictatorship" for the two are alike in that neither offers place for the small enterpriser.
 The defense boards in Washington are aware of this danger, Nehemkis ayers, and are trying to be ready with plans either to incorporate such endangered small businesses into prime contractor sub-contractor relationships, find ways for them to make defense goods, or means of tiding them over SO they can resume production after the emergency. This is a serious situation, full of the gravest possibilities for the future. It is reassuring to know that there are those who are already trying to find solution.

Don't Sacrifice Small Business

There are warning signals flying In Washington that little business" which has for several years been tossed in heavy seas, is approaching real hurricane weather The depression years have been tough on "little business" in general, though some of it has shown itself more adaptable to new conditions than larger businesses and industries. The defense crisis has brought further difficulties to "little business" and may, perhaps, con- front it with fight for existence.
 When the defense effort began, lit tie more than a year ago, it was natural that most of the contracts went to big industrial establishments. They were the ones who could turn out the stuff, and turn it out quickly. Only few months ago did we come around to a concerted effort to spread the defense work so that smaller concerns might have share and add their power to the productive facili- ties so urgently needed for defense. That is being pushed strongly today, according

 1t may be that his advance from the Department of Agriculture to the vice presidency has given Henry Wallace Q broader perspective. Or 1t may be that now at last he feels free to express himself on matters on which he stifled his doubts in the past. Whatever the explanation, he Is now cautioning farmers against excessive grabs for bigger and better subsidies.
 "A greedy. grabbing and political spirit" he told the annual confer ence of Agricultural Adjustment Administration committeeman the other day, may reap the whirlwind later on." The farmers, he hinted, are not exempt from the national call to sacrifice in this great emer- gency. A farm-aid program pushed to record highs in these war days, he predicted, could easily result in drastic reductions that might de- stroy the farm program in peace days.
 In effect. what he was saying is just this: any pressure group which exploits the present emergency for selfish gain at the expense of the general public is apt to discover that the public will demand retalia- tory action when the emergency Is over. Taxpayers and consumers who have to make sacrifices now may well Insist that such a pressure group make sacrifices later. The advice is pertinent, and not igor farmers alone.

There were many quick to jump to conclusions that Gov. Robert A. Hurley erred In vetoing the bill that would al- low women entertainers to work longer hours in hotels and restaurants. There has been quite drive made during the last year to lift this ban on night working for women, particularly those employed at such trades as call for appearances at later hours than allowed by law How ever the governor in issuing special or- der to permit leeway for such work ac- complished the purpose effectively with out at the same time sacrificing the pur- pose of the law which very definitely ought to impose restrictions on night work for females. We don't think that there will be any need to complain now and certainly the ones affected by the order will fare better at the hands Of their employers. It was situation that demanded some little consideration and thought. We think the governor gave both successfully.

FROM AND TO THE STATE
 JUDICIARY
(NeW fIayen Raaisterl

Denunciations of the judgeship dealing which recently climaxed as sorry legislative spectacle at Hart- ford as many observers can recall have been commonplace since the event. The one which Superior Court Judge Kenneth Wynne dee livered before the annual trial jlis- ttces' assembly was unique in that 1t gave the great divide just about what 1t had coming to it in the public presence of the one body where the degree of sensitivity ought to be greatest yet whence have emanated the least of the nlurmurs of protest.
 Certainly 1t seems that the re- sponsible judiciary of the state might properly express itself re- specting this demeaning of the standards. Perhaps in SO doing 1t might exert sort of an anti septic effect if the doing were at the right time.
 To his denunciation of the traf- licking in the judgeships and at- tached court patronage, Judg c Wynne added some good words for the proposed constitutional amend ment tor gubernatorial appoint ment of minor court judges with legislative approval. Many feel that 1t is a step in the right direction of diminishing the judgeship grabs. After e demonstration like that recently seen, however, the ques- ton occurs to some 0nlookers

Election of J. Kenneth Bradley of Vest port as Republican National Committee man wasn't surprise to the politically initiated. It had been predicted. As a mat ter of fact it's doubtful If the Republi. can Party of the state could have turned in any other direction than that of It's State Central Committee chairman. He was about the only available eligible for the post. Precedent for this dual office holding only goes back as far as the re- gime of the late J. Henry Roraback, ne was both party chairman and National Committeeman for many years. It was such dual control of these offices, too, that enabled him to build his powerful political organization so compactly.
