On the Business Front

With WARD SCHULZ
Detroit Times Financial Editor
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-04-30
Small Pickings

If the Capitol advices are correct about this city's charter revision bill help up until Republicans can be assured that they'll be given certain patronage privi- leges, then the part is dropping to new low in it's effort to get back on basis here in Waterbury where it can vie for the popular favor of the voters. Reports are that Republicans want certain per- . centage of the old age tax census enumer- ators named by their representatives in the city government or by party officials. Right now such list is handled through the mayors office and presumably on fair nonpartisan basis, though the COP Squawk would give reason to doubt this.
 If the city's charter revision has to wait on such a hold-up as this it certainly would be cheaper to pay for having the bill printed in the House calendar rather than to skip any corners and find 1t necessary to pay a toll for the same. If the bill is sure of being passed by the House, and why shouldn't it be, the added delay now of forgetting about suspending the rules and letting 1t take the usual course of action would be far cheaper than the workout which is rumored in prospect for local officials.
 The Waterbury Republican organiza- tion is apparently not being consulted too much on this matter, according to Hart ford reports. We don't think 1t would want to take the responsibility for failure of the charter revision to get by this leg islative session, yet that might be the result if things go along as they seem to be right now and Waterbury legisla- tors hold firm to their convictions about the whole matter. It's too bad charter changes have to be wrapped round with such huge piece of political wrapping paper. r

The Quality of Mercy

Whatever comes, the United States can always be proud that it's people gladly and freely gave $27,000,000 to relieve the suffering. That is the total relief to all countries extended by or through the Red Cross alone, and of course other relief activities would multiply that total many times.
 For this the American people expect no return; there is no political aspect to 1t, no expectation of influencing events. It is the simple, spontaneous reaction of a people whose heart has never failed to be touched by suffering, no matter where or by whom What stern courses lie be- fore us, we know not But let us hope that it is given us to help keep alive in a rnerciless world the quality of mercy.

Closer to Home

Just when we were beginning to believe that the forest fire menace was about gone for this season 1t has broken out with renewed fury in many sections of New England. We can't recall any year where there has been so much damage done to property all over New England as this spring Of course the weather has been ideal for the fires, but with every conceivable agency cooperating to pre- vent them and urging people to be extra cautious with outdoor fires there might be cause to believe there'd be fewer out breaks. But, no, there are more fires than ever and more disastrous ones, too.
 This week they came close to home. A great area of the Naugatuck State For est between Beacon Falls and Naugatuck was burned over for the second time in recent years. It had just been replanted after a former fire. The Mattatuck State Forest to the north of Waterville was scorched by flames that endangered sec- tionS of the vile. Fortunately the flames have been turned aside every time they laeared human habitation. We have thus communities, notably in New Jersey and Massachusetts.
 Carelessness is to blame for all such 1lTeS as CI1cSe 11lSTe IS q UdLl OIl OutuOOA fires in Connecticut right now, but on every side there is indication that the edict is being disobeyed. Smokers toss their cigarettes from autos to the side of the road where small fire spreads to adjoining woodlands. Workers in fields may do the same thing. All that is need ed to avoid such occurrences as these is thoughtfulness. Any smoker must real ize by now what potential dangers there are in a cigarette butt. If everyone of us would resolve to exercise precautions at all times with all forms of fire there'd be fewer brush fires and less danger to our city.

What a Relief {!

It being an i'll wind that blows nobody good, it is only fair to note one of the ir1- cidental benefits being blown in with the defense blizzard. The relief rolls are fal- ling. Not as much as you might expect, but falling. Not even the most enthusias- tic partisan of relief regards it as desir- able, or as preferable to private employ ment.
 So when the Social Security Board re- ports that during the last year the total number of people receiving public aid grams has decreased by three million, that's a relief indeed In February, such aid went to 14,996,OO0 people, as com pared with 18,024,000 people a year ago. The tendency is still downward. Threat of war has stepped in with a palliative for the unemployment problem. The remedy is yet to be found.

Hint for Labor Peace

A little more than two years ago Toledo launched, amid widespread skepticism, plan for local board to mediate, con- ciliate and peacefully settle labor dis putes. Result: Toledo has had only 15 minor strikes in the past 28 months. There is no magic in it, no "open sesame" in the simple plan of local board from which panels try to adjust disputes. Sue cess has come not from technique, but from spirit.
 First, Toledo had a series of strikes so disastrous that they pretty well showed both sides that there was no future in them. That brought (the hard way) certain mutual willingness to seek a better road. Then the local board grad ually built up a reputation for fairness, which slowly brought about tendency to trust it. And 10, and behold, without any magic machinery or trick laws, put by initial goodwill and long, arduous work, Toledo finds that 1t has got some ==<&/I.Z

Ye of Little Faith

As always, it is the simple, humble people who come to bat when freedom Is threatened. We wish every person we have heard recently muttering in his long gray beard that democracy Is about through could read the letters that come pouring in to the White House and the Treasury at Washington, with dollar bills and small cheeks pinned to them. A 1S-year-old New Jersey girl sends dol lar, saying, Please use this for army pay roll"
 A letter laboriously typed on ruled paper reads, q do not pay income tax. I'm too old for war duty. But owe this to my government that has given me ir- dependence and liberty" So they come streaming in, touching evidence that many who have the smallest material stake in freedom drink deepest of its spiritual values. They make one feel ashamed to be downhearted.

According to all reports the city's nu- nicipal golf course out at East Mountain is in marvellous condition this season. Players report the greens in excellent proved over last year. That's good to hear, but 1t mustn't be forgotten that there are other recreational fields throughout the city that should also receive consta1t attention. Not that we're insinuating they don't But certainly the condition of the baseball diamonds at Hamilton Park this year from spectators view point wasn't quite satisfactory. schoolboy games already played there produced such a dust storm that blue suits resembled white ones at the end of nine innings. Whether this is true at all of the parks we couldn't say but certainly it shouldn't exist at Hamilton Park. And there are 3 lot of tennis players in the city who feel that the early season should be taken advantage of. They'd like to play if the courts could be made available.

The public officials of state and con1- munity will have to be made of staunch material tonight to stand the barbs that will be hurled at them in Hartford where legislative scribes are presenting their Gridiron Dinner. This biennial event gives the reporters who cover the Legis- iature for the press of Connecticut a chance to work off some of their excess energy in "kidding" those about whom they are forced to write most seriously all during the year. No effort is made to spare anyone's feelings during the "horse-p play" so if you're nature IS not made to stand the gaff of "ribbing" don't attend a Gridiron Dinner unless you're just lone spectator He always enjoys the festivities.

 NOTE - The America First Committee has sent its branch of- fices a list of speakers available to promote the cause. The list in- cludes a great many names, rang dns from Wilbur Helm, who is willing to speak for only $25, to Major General Paul B. Malone, who will speak for $200. This is the highest fee except one, whose name leads all the rest. General Hugh Johnson is willing to promote the cause of America first for the stun of $750 per lec- tiire. ... HEAVENLY VISITOR or

 There was . drouth this month, but 1t did more good than harm. It made the ground firm and protected 1t against the invasion of the egg rolling hordles on Easter Monday. The grass suffered less because tho soil was not soft. 4g They call 1t blue grass, but there's nothing blue about 1t now. It's color is a lustrous green, and all the spots that were bare last fall are richly covered again, even under the beech trees. '.s Gardener William Reeves looks at the grass with pride. Last fall he waited until all the leaves had fallen from the beeches he raked them away, broke up :. the earth, and planted new grass seed. It has come up in abundance.
 The frcnt grounds arc open to the public, and contrast to cer- tain famous residences fin Berlin and Rome, anyone can walk through, right in front of the ! White House, as if it. were Q public park. Thousands of gov- er7iment workers use the grounds as c shortcut, going to work.
 Gardener Reeves doesn't worry. :Let 'em enjoy it," he says. ~. AMERICA FIRST sHADOWED?
 The America First Committee has become increasingly fearful of being spied upon or having It's wires tapped. So fearful that R. L. Bliss, one of the Coifl- mittee's chief officials, recently sent an inter .office memo to all members of the staff which read as follows:
 T suggest that you conduct all meetings in your office as quietly as possible, and that you do not
 discuss confidential business matters in the hall, or In going to and from the teletype. This will prevent visitors in the outer office from overhearing remarks. Let us keep our material and ideas to ourselves. t.

There are some Army chiefs who hold similar views, but they usually are circumspect about air- ing them. Secretary Henry Stim- son and Under Secretary Rob- ert Patterson are sincere believ- CTS in democracy and they rule their generals with a firm hand. Tn the Navy 1t is largely the other way around.
 A striking illustration is the Fharp contrast in the attitude of the two Departments on the ques- ton of an Assistant Secretary for Air.
 Deciding that the vastly ex- banded Army Air Corps needed Q central directing head, Stimson and Patterson selected Robert Lovett, New York banker and World War ace, for the job and had the President appoint him. There was no interference from generals, and Air Corps chiefs are working harmoniously and effec. lively with their. new civilian boss.
 Navy brasshats, on the other hand, are fighting tooth and nall to. block q similar civilian intru- sion into their gold-braided realm. Through high.powered lobbying operations in the House, the ad- mirals wormed into the $3,500, ,000,- 900 Navy Appropriation bill a pro- vision that would make 1t inpos- sible to name an Assistant Sec retary for Air.
 POLITICAL APPOINTEE"
 The prohibitive clause is Q very slick piece of axing. On its face 1t has no connection with the pro- posed civilian appointee. It merely bars the expenditure of Navy funds flor any additional positions at a rate of con1- pensation in excess of $5,000 Q year.
 one of the leaders of this url- dercover lobby was Read Admiral John II. Towers, chief of the Bu- reau of Aeronautics, who would be subordinated if Q civilian is ap- pointed. Towers, who knows his way around on Capitol Hill, but- torholed members of the House Appropriations Committee with this argument:
 "The Job probably will be
 filled with g political appoin- tee. That might be dangerous In
 this extremely critical period.
 Besides, we're running our air
 force quite satisfactorily and
 we don't need any more ex- perts."
 Towers got his way in the House, but in the Senate he was thrown for a loss. Administration leaders curtly eliminated the obstructive provision and followed this up by privately notifying House lead. CTS that 1t was going to stay out.
 NOTE - The"political appoin- tee" Towers was understood by House members to have in mind is ex-brain truster Tom Corcoran, whom Navy Under Secretary James Forrestal has been strongly urging for the aviation post. SPRING AT THE
