Getting Into Shape

The announcement that the states bonded indebtedness will be considerably reduced by virtue of an extremely large surplus at the end of the recent fiscal year is pleasing news to most of us. Com troller John M. DoWe'S report indicates that the financial state of health of the state is good. At the end of the next fiscal year 1t should be even better for tax re- turns this year and for the remainder of the year are bound to swell anticipated figures.
 The financial report, incidentally, cov- CTS six months of Governor Robert A. Hurley's administration and the last six months of ex-Governor Raymond E. Bald wins. So if credit is to be given it must be apportioned out fairlyeven between both Democrats and Republicans. And that's as it should be. However, we can't blame the Democrats if they do bit of growing for all sorts of dire things were being predicted last fall when Governor Hurley was campaigning about how he would treat the surplus the Republicans were building up.
 As matter of fact Comptroller Doves figures show that the surplus on June 30, 1940, was $1, ,748, 1908, whereas this years surplus is actually $5,393,514. Of this surplus probably close to $4,000,00O will be applied to debt reduction. The state law requires that all surpluses over $1,000,000 be used to retire the bonded indebtedness. This should make quite a dent in the $25,0O0,00O we borrowed a few years ago to eliminate deficit and launch a long-range building program. Another few years like the past one and Connecticut would be out of the red, while at the some time maintaining the services to which we have become ac- cuStomed.

Do You Remember, Adolf?

Viggo Hansteen and Rolf Wickstroem have by their death at the hands of the Nazi overlordS in Norway wiped out the blot of QuiSling. The two Morse labor leaders, led before Hitler firing squad on charges of having Sabotaged against the conquerorS of their country, more than overbalance in their martryrdom the man whose name has become a synonym for treachery and shame. Han steen and Wickstroem There are two more names to remember. One man should understand their crime" and that man is Adolf Hitler. Leo Schlageter was his hero when he wrote Mein Kampf. Schlageter was German Hansteen or Wickstroem of 20 years ago. But the shoe was on the other foot then.
 Leo Schlageter had been a German artillery officer in the World War, a fel- low veteran of Hitler In 1923, five years after that war was over, the French oc- cupied the Rhineland when Germany failed to pay separations. A railway line between Dusseldorf and Duisburg was blown up, and Schlageter was caught in the act Despite appeals to the French by the Reich government and even by the Vatican, Schlageter was executed on May 26, 1923 Immediately he became hero of all the nationalist elements of Ger many, and one of the political saints" of the early days of the Nazi party. Many a "Heil" has Hitler himself given to his hero, Leo Schlageter.
 Now 1t is almost 20 years later The position is now entirely reversed. Now 1t is Hitler whose legions trample the peoples of dozen conquered countries. Now 1t is German oppression that brave men take their lives in their hands to resist. Now 1t is Hitler, who admired the courage and loyalty of his comrade, who is giving the orders to shoot down other Schlageters of other lands.
 Hitler thought all the Schlageters were in Germany; that courage and loyalty and devotion were German Increasingly, day after day, week after week, month after month, he is going to run against the same qualities in other peoples. In Holland, France, Belgium, and Denmark, in Jugoslavia and Greece and Czecho- slovakia and Poland there are other Han- steens and other Wickstroems. Hitler may shoot them, but he must understand them and as each dies, may Hitler start up in his bed and look into the eyes of his old comrade, Schlageter.

in the Town Hall, and edging up to a man he looked down into his pocket and spied a handkerchief. Below it he thought theremight be a pocketbook, so he began very carefully to withdraw the handker- chief. Suddenly he stopped. Some thing on the inside seemed to lay a hand upon him and bid him desist. He turned quickly, slunk out of the crowd, ran all the way to his home, weeping bitterly, and hurried oil to bed. Tn later years he had a fine career as a business man. while Bimbaum and all tho rest of the gang went through lives of petty, and some through lives of major crime.
 what stopped the youngster as he was about to steal for the first time? The blood Of generations who had lived honestly, the thought of his mother: most of all an inde- finable conviction that to take this step would involve him in ruin.
 God speaks to all hearts, but only e few listen. Blmbaum and his satellites are too busy carving out a career for themselves.

it's going to be difficult to continue to get steel to make new plates. At the same time it's an economical step in other ways, for it eliminates lot of red tape in the handling of new plates and taking care of the many requests for special numbers. The Connecticut idea is good one, even better than recommendations that license plates be reduced in size. Once they start to do thefell be a corre- spending reduction in the size of the numerals.
 The New York Herald Tribune says: Our neighbor state of Connecticut uses the same license plates year after year, the autoist merely obtaining new date numerals, which may be easily attached to the old plates. Possibly there are prac- tical objections that do not occur to us which would make such methods as this inapplicable in New York, but the fact remains that the Solution" of the prob lem just announced is one that reflects little credit on the reSourcefulness of the states motor vehicle authorities"

 HENRY'S HORROR CHAMBER
 Under the office of the Seere- tary of the Treasury, and cons nected to 1t by 0 private eleVa- tor, is one of the most amazing "Chambers of Horror" to be found in any government depart- ment.
 Although Q bright fire burns in the hearth and the sun streams in through Q window overlooking the White House, the walls of the room are covered with cri- ticai, scathing cartoons and cari- catures of Henry Morsenthau showing him and the President garbed as high priests sacrificing the American taxpayer on the altar of government expenditures: or garbed as surgeons, needing" the American dollar; plus others even more pointed and unflatter- ing.
 The room Is used as Q private dining room for Mfr Morgenthau and intimates, and why the Sec- retary of the Treasury, who is rather c sensitive person, main- tains 1t is difficult to determine, unless to prove that he "Can take it."
 Center piece of the room Is an oval table, formerly in the office of Undersecrctar Gerald B. Winston ct which the debt-fund- ing agreements were negotiated after the World War. The table is described by one Treasury of- flee as "the table where more money was talked about and less paid over, than any other piece of furniture In the world"
 Around the rim of the table are c series of engraved silver plates, commemorating the various nego- tiations. the amounts and person. nel involved. Poland. Austria, JugoslaVia, Greece, Turkey, Lat- via, Italy, Belgium, France, Great Britain, and Finland, the only one to keep its promise, are all represented.
 Curiously, one plate is bare reserved who can say for what nation, and negotiation yet to be consummated for what amount and under what circumstances.

Motor Vehicles Commissioner John T. Mccarthy may get request one of these fine days to furnish the New York State Motor Vehicle Department with more in- formation about the type of automobile marker we are using. The officials of our next door neighbor are concerned over the lack of materials from which they produce the license plates. The Connecticut plan of using the same marker for long periods, merely substi- tuting new date numerals each year, ap- peals to great many New Workers.

Democrats are apparently convinced that the administration of Mayor Vincent A. Scully is all right and should be sup ported instead of opposed. Only one slate of delegates was filed with the Democratic Town Committee this week, which means that the advertised primary on Friday will be but formality with only one vote needed to elect these delegates to the three conventions which the party will hold In October. No one would be foolharoy enough to suggest or point out that any of these conventions could be railroaded into changing the present set-up in Democratic ranks. And after all any such attempts would be fool-hardy with condl- tions ideal for repeat Scully victory.

 e. Were Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis related?
 A. No evidence has been pro- duced that the two men were even distantly related. The popular myth that they were half brothers or first cousins originated apparently dur ing the Civil War, and has no foufl- dation in fact. They were both Kexls tuckians by birth, and 1t iS barely possible that there may have been Q very distant relationship.

However, here Is what happened to the wheat crop according to diplomatic dispatches from U. s. officials abroad.
 Tn the eastern Ukraine the Rus sians were able to harvest part of the grain ahead of the Ger man advance. This was re- moved, the rest was burned. The Na2iS got nothing.
 In the western Ukraine where the harvest was e month late, the Germans found the grain stand. ing but again this will be of no help to them for this grain is on big collective farms and the managers have moved out leaving only un- skilled Russian workers. More important, nearly oil machinery has been removed or destroyed. Thus the Germans are confront- ed with the problem of harvest ing with primitive tools and lifl- skilled workers.
 Taking the situation as a whole, the Nazi conquest of the great Russian granary brings no advan- tage to the food situation in Ger. many. And looking ahead, Ger many Is also confronted with probable waste of this productive capacity next year: for the big problem will be to plant this vast area with over four fifths of the tractors removed or destroyed and few horses or cattle left.
 NOTE -- On the other SI6e of the picture, other diplomatic dis- patches report that Hitler has trained twelve thousand German farm managers to move into the Ukraine immediately to take over Stalin's collective farms. Hitler, incidentally, apparently believes in Stalin's farm system, for his managers have been trained !n collectivization. ICKES TAKES THE RAP

Selected Poem
WOODEN BRIDGE CLeone Rice Grelle in the New Haven Journal -Courier)

It's loose boards trundled the summer home,
 And kept the secret of mud-chinkd nests; And saw, reflected the starry dome
 Of midnight heavens; the rainbow crests On the eastern hills when the storms were done. And it sheltered a toad. and dragonfy; And a laby spatter of slanting sun
 That scarcely moved, as the days slipped by. And it viewed the years with a element grace
 The knife-scarred railings and great begged beams Were built for holding the even pace
 Of seasons march and an ancient's dreams And found 1t so. in the golden dusk,
 Trudging the way of an ox-drawn load. A bridge as sere as harvest husk Down the purple rutS of an old dirt road.

THOSE IMPENDING Ev1cTIoNs
(Hartford Times)

(Hartford Times)
 It would seem as If the City of Hartford has a definite responsi- bility for the satisfactory housing of the l4 families in the Canton street area upo nwhom eviction mo- tices have been served by the Hart ford Housing Authority.
 It will not satisfy citizens to read that the Housing Authority washes it's hands of the matter be- cause ample notice had been given the tenants that they would have to move. The Authority must have the site of the property where these families, comprising 60 persons, now live, in order to build the heating plant for the Bellevue Square hous- ing project. There is no criticism of the Authority on this account.

Down in New York proposal has been submitted to the City Council that the daylight saving period be extended by two months. It would begin late in March and end in the late October under this provision. The idea, too, is to start 1t off this year by continuing the present daylight period until the last Sunday of october. Then the period for 1922 would start on the last Sunday in March. Con- servation Of national resources is behind the suggestion. Newbold Morris, presi- dent of the City Council, preached the plan and says he intends to ask Governor Lehman to use his influence with the Legislature to adopt similar program. However, we think that MT. Morris errs when he says that the President may ask that daylight saving be extended through. out the nation in view of a national emergency Only short time ago the President intimated that this would be necessary only in few sections of the southeast.

Hitlerian Tactics Here

To put it bluntly, 1t is clear that cer- tain powerful labor leaders have one aim in mind: To make it impossible for any man to obtain a job any man to earn living, unless he belongs to labor union. These labor leaders, in short, are driving toward labor monopoly-and toward personal dictatorship over every work ing man and woman in this country
 In pursuing that goal, these leaders will use any weapon that comes to hand They will call strikes in defense indus tries, apparently not caring whit that the countrys security and safety are thereby imperiled. They will rig labor elections in one way or another, so that the ordinary union man is virtually voice. less. They will, on occasion, stoop to vio- lence and terrorism. They make use of that most terrible weapon-the black list Their obvious purpose is to put the fear of God into workers and employers, so that they will knuckle under.
 The callous disregard certain labor leaders have shown for government it. self in this time of grave crisis indicates the way the wind blows. They make to- tally unjustified and impossible demands on industry on an Tor else" basis. Their methods are often impossible to differ entiate from those of Capone in the hey day of organized vice. This projected labor monopoly is one of the most seri- ous problems the United States has ever faced.
 Let this state of affairs go on long enough, and the country will be helpless. few fat-salaried labor leaders will rule this country as surely as Hitler rules his Reich. Nothing will be done without their permission-and on their terms. These are the syndicalistic tactics that did much to destroy France.
