A Thought for Today
Good Opportunity

The announcement that Waterbury'S two state senators are planning to ask court permisison to use fund estab- lished more than fifty years ago as the nucleus for a trade school here is encour- aging news. All the Waterbury legiSla- tors at Hartford are heartily in favor of this city getting trade school, but there has been some apprehension felt ever since Governor Robert A. Hurley said in his inaugural address that he wasn't enthusiastic about expanding trade school facilities.
 Should the courts decide that the David Porter bequest might be followed out legally through establishment of a trade school there should be no hindrance placed in the path from state authorl- ties. Rather they should do everything in their power to speed up the acquisition of such an institution and it's speedy op- eration. Now is the time that such a school could be doing much good among Waterbury boys and girls desirous of fol- lowing the course of studies prescribed in it.
 Waterbury holds such an important and strategic position in the industrial life of the Naugatuck Valley and even in the entire state that it does seem almost necessary that trade school be listed among our assets. If the Water bury legislators do succeed in the. eStab- 1ishment of one here it will be cause for much praise and commendation.

The Right to Parade

These are the times when it is increas- ingly irritating to concede their rights to those with whom we disagree. Rights conflict with rights. The very funda- mental right of the state to defend itself and it's institutions conflicts at times with rights of individuals. Yet certainly indi- vidual rights must be respected right up to the very point where they become a proximate menace to the safety of all.
 A Los Angeles ordinance makes case in point This gives the police the right to deny arbitrarily permit for parade. The Superior Court held, however, that "parading is fundamental right, not a grace" It conceded that police regula- ton of parades is necessary to preserve public order, but that this particular ordinance was invalid because it allowed police to deny permits arbitrarily on grounds not related reasonably to the necessities of the situation"
 Scores of similar test cases on handbill distribution, free speech, and the like are sure to come up. The best rule of thumb we can think of is "the maximum per sonal freedom consistent with the safety of the state"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-01-17

Recently Governor Robert A. Hurley was quoted as saying he saw no need for new taxes in Connecticut this year and presumably in the second year of his first term. Prior to that he had assured Fairfield County businessmen that they had no cause for worrying that a state income tax might be saddled on them by the Democratic administration. There are many who agree with him on this matter. There doesn't seem to be any need to consider new forms of taxation We have quite few now producing good revenue and the chances are good that such revenue will be even larger this year. There would be only two forms of new taxation probably brought up and they're an old story. We refer to the income tax mentioned above and the sales tax which is a periodical visitor but not for long. The Legislature needn't consider new taxes, but rather ways of spreading the present ones over wider base.

Down at New London this week city fathers decided that when Ocean Beach is thrown open to the public for the 1941 season there would be no distinction be- tween a resident and nonresident. Last year the non-residents had to pay more to use the ocean-front park than New Londoners There weren't many com plaints on this score, but there were complaints from outsiders about the cost of parking car, securing admission to the park, and then renting a bathhouse oota So ae SMg anhoges m1t pe eong eay to try to boost those attendance figures of 194O, meagre enough for what facilities were offered at the resort.

PARKING METERS TO MAKE USE OF STREETS SAME FOR
 EVERY MOTORIST

January 16, 194l Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 Hurray for those parking meters they take care of g lot of cheap skates and chislers by making them put up or move elsewhere.
 There are 8 lot of birds who don't think our city is good enough to live in but still they are willing to work here in our offices, stores and fac tories. They pay no taxes like we do; they get a lot of free service and they want free all-day park ing thrown in also. Now the user pays and they will no longer clutter up our streets. The parking meters give everyone a fair and equal break and should solve a lot of traffic problems in our busy bus iness section.
 If all the 10000 or more car own- CTS in town wanted to park down town every day there isn't room enough. The fellow who won't pay penny to park has no right to own car. Let him go back to the horse and buggy and we will give him free drinking water for his horse at the Carrie Welton fountain.
 Progress.

20 Years of Futility

There is something almost melancholy in the final dissolution by Jay Lovestone of his so-called splinter group" of the Communist Party. Probably you never heard of Jay LoveStone, which is the ulti- mate commentary on his 20 years of ef- of the founders of the American Com munist In radical circles, however, Lovestone is quite name. He was one of the founders of the Amreican Com munist Party, and in its early days he was the Browder of the movement. He rushed off to Russia for instructions from time to time, and it was because he dared to have little disagreement with Joe Stalin on a matter of policy in the U. s. that LoveStone was eaSed out and Browder substituted. Lovestone, then, in the fashion of all zealotS, founded his own private Communist Party, and very private it remained, too.
 Now, after 20 years, he gives up, and diSbandS the whole shooting match. "The existing socialist and radical groups are essentially out of touch with American life and it's problems" he says sadly. 'They live in an artificial world of their own that makes it impossible for them to see the fatal defects of their existence. They are unable to take positive, con- Structive stand on present-day problems" ]" Well, 129, 9,257, ,67S people in the United States have known for long time those same things, which it took Lovestone 20 years of heart breaking effort to discover.
 With the other radical parties it fares scarcely better. Providers orthodox, or total immersion Communist Party,
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-01-17

U. s. A., has never achieved any mass following in the group it loudly claims to represent. Communist policy out side Russia has been uniformly bust It was largely responsible for turning Germany over to the Nazis. It materially aided the collapse of France. It disrupted the Republican defense of Spain, and brought on the disorders that gave Japan its opportunity to overrun China. The Socialists, after brief filtration with the Communists, have had to start all over again after receiving that kiss of death, and the total vote for all radical parties in'the last election was lower than it has ever been in recent times.
 Why? Because the common man real izes instinctively what it took LoveStone 20 years to learn - that the programs advanced have little to do with life as we know it, and when applied have brought nothing but ruin and death No radical party can ever make the slightest headway in the United States until it convinces large numbers of peo- pie that socialist or deeply specializing program can be brought about in dem ocratic society. No such example has ever been produced; no convincing demonstration in the conduct of the par ties themselves has ever been given Americans continue to be reluctant to toss away their liberties, their demon strated advances, their well-grounded faith in orderly progress, for any will-o'- the-wisp promise of pie in the sky bye and bye.

MORAL PROBLEM
 Selective service and the induc- ton of the National Guard dumped a moral problem in the lap of the War Department.
 The brasshats have been try ing to figure out how to keep some of the boys out of clip joints on Saturday nights. The WPA thinks it has the answer.
 Ott Ron1ney, bluff ex-Navy fly CT and football coach, who runs the WPA recreational program, has proposed to the Army that it give his outfit the job of keep ing the boys entertained and out of joints. Romney would do this through supervised games, dances and shows directed by hand picked WPA recreational workers from the soldiers home locali- ties.
 ALIENS IN CONGRESS
 Amid all the breast-thumping on Capitol Hill about aliens, it is interesting to note that twenty members of the new Congress are fOreign-bOrn.
 Three are veteran senators Robert F. Wagner, New York New Dealer, author of the Labor Relations and Social Security acts, born in Germany; James J. Davis, Pennsylvania Republican, former Secretary of Labor, born in Wales; and James E. Murray, Montana Democrat. born in Canada.
 The seventeen in the House came from all parts of the world and some of them still have strong foreign accents.
 B. J. Gehrmann. of Wisconsin and Leonard w. Schuetz of Illi- nois were born in Germany. Karl Stefan of Nebraska and Rudolph Tenerowicz of Michigan were born in Austria. Incidentally, when Stefan gives radio talk for the folks back home, he says good bye in four different languages, in- cluding German.
 Two were born in Russia
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-01-17

Samuel Dickstein of New York and Herman KOpplemann of Con- necticut. Rep. Samuel Weiss of Pennsylvania was born in Poland, and AdOlph Sabath of Illinois, the genial, popular Dean of the House, in CzechoSlovakia.
 There are two Canadian-born members of the House-Charles Eaton of New Jersey, and Albert Rutherford of Pennsylvania. Will liam Barry of New York was born in Ireland; and Frank Crowther of New York and Robert Ramsay of West Virginia in England.
 Robert Crosser of Ohio and George Gillie of Indiana were born in Scotland; Noah Mason of H. linois in Wales, and Pehr Holmes of Massachusetts in Sweden.
 Outside of Congress a number of high placed officials are foreign born, prominent among them De- fense Commissioners Knudsen and HilIman. But the Delegate from Alaska, Anthony J. Dimond, was born in New York.
 MERRY-GO-ROUND
 That Chicago speech of J. s. Kemper, head of the U. S. Cham Der of Commerce, attacking the Administrations policy of "all- out" aid to Britain, has stirred up a ruckuS within the Chamber. Floods of protests have been re- ceived from members and one business man resigned . One reason for the overwhelming House rejection of the demand of Chair man Andrew W. May of the Mili- tary Affairs Committee for juris- diction over the lend-lease arm- ament bill was his personal un- popularity. Although the grand standing Kentuckian telephoned every committee chairman to back him, the House didn't even go to the trouble of taking vote.

Treading Lightly

One thing that most of the legislators up at Hartford are doing this year IS avoiding prolonged arguments on the question of reapportionment. It's hard to pin them down to this issue right now, because the majority of them are afraid that once involved there'll be no way of escape Reapportionment is about as puzzling and discouraging task as might be found It will always be such, so long as there is partisan feeling among mem- bers of legislative bodies And in our system of government how can 1t be avoided?
 But partisanship or no partisanship something has to be done at the current session about those political subdivisions of the state which are dependent upon the changing rate of population. These include our senatorial and congressional districts There may be nothing done about the latter, but the former certainly must be taken care of. A workable plan, agreeable to a majority, should be pre- sented at the proper time, debated, and approved. AS for the congressional dis tricts there may be ground for the argu- ment that declining population figures in New England warn of the possibility of smaller congressional delegations for some of the states ten years hence.
 In New York State there is similar move afoot with Governor Herbert Leh- man warning the Republican-controlled Legislature to reapportion lon true and accurate basis. New York has had more than it's fair share of trouble over reap portionment, so we may draw consolation from this fact It isn't easy to reappor- tion, but it's necessary and Democrats and Republicans alike should prepare themselves to do what is best for state and not for the individual party.

 Along the Illinois moved great
 characters and great events, Mar

 the following rare bit Author Gray
 contributes a bit of Lincolniana
 sharply reminiscent of 194O:
 The boys of the old Eighth Cir cult had had their share in bring ing about the unexpected result (nomination at Chicago of Lincoln over Seward). Judge Davis'S un- wearying efforts in committee rooms had been supported in character istically dramatic way by Ward Hill Lamon.
 The night before the balloting was to take place in the convention hall at Chicago, Lamon had had an extremely busy time. From the barrooms and other centers where strong young men with lusty lungs were likely to be found, he gath cred together a small army of fol- lowers. For many hours, which they seem to have found refreshing rather than exhausting, Lamon in- Structed thm in the art of shout ing. Enthusiasm for Lincoln was their theme without words.

The lungs of the men from Illinois made finer clam or than those of all the other states combined.

 This practice is known as the run ming wire or R. w. and has long been fought by the groups interested in preventing unnecessary cruelty to animals. Your readers will per- haps be interested to learn that the Association of Moving Picture Pro- ducers has recently agreed to abolish the running wire and the victory is being hailed as a major coup by anil nal lovers.
 While your correspondent in the past got "big kick" from those ex- citing falls in the movies, he now feels that he was being fed some rather crude amusement and now would like to join in the chorus of those rejoicing in the elimination of the running wire.
