VuItures of Humanity

No human misfortune is so great that some are not found ready to turn it to their advantage - human vultures clrcl- ing ever around the weak and sore-beset, waiting for them to stagger and fall. Newest of these schemes to profit by the extremities of others is the 'trade school racket" It is known that there are jobs now for trained mechanics and other skilled workers, while the unskilled still find it hard to get job. So "gyp" job-training schools immediately spring up to snare the savings of hopeful young men with promises of jobs in airplane and other defense plants.
 The Northwestern National Life Insur- ance Company, the Minneapolis Better Business Bureau, and various chambers of commerce have had complaints of such schools" which neither had equip ment for proper training, nor connec- tions to get the promised jobs. Look be- fore you leap, these agencies advise all young men considering taking training courses, and it is good advice in this case as in all others.

The Listener Suffers

Regardless of the respective claims of radio moguls and the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP) it's the listening public that now suffers as a result of the disappear ance from the airWays of any number ot familiar melodies Controlled by ASCAP these songs will not be presented by those radio stations which do not agree to the royalty terms imposed by the former. And most of the radio stations have banded together to oppose the terms.
 Creation of another music trust" - BMI - will not solve the problem. It will remain for the courts to do that. Already Uncle Sam has preferred charges against both groups on the ground that they violate antitrust laws. Some sort of solution should be forthcoming eventually but in the meantime the peo- pie who make it possible for radio to enjoy high ratings as an American irl- dustry suffer They are denied the privi- lege of hearing a great many songs for which they have often shown distinct preference On the other hand it can't be denied but that presentable programs can still be given with music controlled by BMI.
 As both these groups are ostensibly for the purpose of protecting the struggling song-writer, there can be no ultimate good for this species of individual if the ban persists Only ruling from some high judicial source can now restore equilibrium in an industry that, although mere infant, has tremendous potential ities. Those of us who manipulate the dials to catch favorite song here and there, as well as enjoy some of the better witticisms, trust that our wanderings up and down the broadcast band will soon be rewarded by what we seek for our favorite musical gems.

A Lame-Duck Session

The session of Congress just ended has broken a number of records. The one attracting most attention, of course, is the fact that it is the longest assembly on record. It convened on January 5, 194O, and has been continually in session since then. The actual number of days will be well up in the 300'S. And not since 1914 has Congress been continu- ously on the job for more than 300 days. On that occasion the 63rd Congress met on December l, 1913, and remained in session until October 24, 1914.
 Another record that this Congress establishes is the fact that there actually was ''lame-duck" session of Congress which the 20th amendment to the Con- Stitution was supposed to end. When Senator George L. Norris fought for years to end "lame-duck" sessions by having Congress meet in January instead of December the idea was to prevent the habit of congressman, defeated Tn No vember election, holding over until the second December following. This was caused by the fact that the new con- greSSmen were not inducted until the Short-term session of Congress ended and that was usunally thirteen months after their election.
 There have been many defeated con- greSSmen in Washington since November during the session just ended. But their successors are now being inducted so strictly speaking, they enjoyed but a brief lame-duck session and that due to the facts that Congress consistently re- fused to adjourn through 1940, what with conditions throughout the world being as crucial as they are. On it's credit side of the ledger the 76th Congress has more than these two records to boast about, but they are among the more unusual features of a hectic experience with na- tional law-making.

Alcohol in the CarburetOr

Everyone knows, and it's been said a thousand times to boot, that alcohol and gasoline don't mix. That is, drinking and driving don't mix. But few people realize that the problem is increasing in importance. In our motorized and mechanized civilization the question of drinking is quite another question from what it was to our pioneer or horse-and- buggy ancestors
 Donald S. Berry of the National Safety Council has, in the Quarterly Journal of Studies in Alcohol, pointed to the signifi- cant feature, which is that drinking drivers involved in accidents increased from 2 per cent in 1883 to II per cent in 1889; drinking pedestrians from per cent in 1883 to 15 per cent in 1889. In one of every five fatal accidents in 1889, Berry reports, either driver or pedestrian had been drinking. Even flat increase in traffic accidents involving drinking might be explained as due to more people in the country and more cars on the road. But the increase in percentage of accl- dents in which alcohol is factor is defi- nitely disturbing.

The Iron Age

One often hears our times referred to as sThe Iron Age" or the "Steel Age" because on this metal the whole structure of modern industry seems to rest. There is something irresistible about good, humping, Staggering figure, and so here's another: Since 1854, the United States has put in use 1,760, ,000, 900 net tons of rolled or cast iron and steel. That is the estimate of the American Iron and Steel Institute.
 Of that vast mass of metal, nearly two thirds is today actually in use - 1,200,- O0O,O0O tons of buildings, bridges, rail road equipment, ships, automobiles, ma chineryr pipes, and a thousand other use full things. Roughly a third of that total production has been bought back as scrap and long since reappeared in some other s.ii1eafnation" as new steel Of course no mind can imagine or picture 1,760,- 0Q0 ,000 tons of steel. But so staggering figure does give some idea of the extent to which we have built our modern iIl- T tlfl1f. h1'a 1aeF 3ae e es',eae>as1VA yA 1sce1s

We look forward to the year 1941 for many reasons. It should bring rich re- ward to hard-working residents of Wa terbury It should also bring to this section of the Naugatuck Valley prom ise long unfulfilled. We refer to the modernization of the Naugatuck Valley highway from Ansonia and Derby right up to Torrington. There are many sec tions of this route, one of the most pop ular and heavily y-traveled in the state, which won't require too much attention. There are others which have seen little or no improvements since the days of the high-centered, narrow, curvy roads
 It is most important that the Naugatuck Valley get broad and safe route which will be used by both pleasure and com mercial vehicles. There is so much heavy trucking up and down the valley these days that few motorists any longer tra- verse it for the mere pleasure of enjoy ing it's beautiful scenery. That doesn't help the valley communities any and we sincerely hope that 1941 will find needed improvements launched and completed.

HUMAN NATURE NEVER CHANG ES, so WE HAVE POLITICAL
 RESOLUTIONS

Editor of The Democrat:
 History, it has often been said. repeats itself. Turning back the pages of our evolution that truth is proven to be a fact. There are social earthquakes as well as seismic explosions beneath the earth's sur face which cause cracking and dislocationS beneath the uppercruSts of the ground we walk upon. In 9 vernacular sense we call these social upheavals political revolutions. They stand out in history like mountain peaks in our evolution. A study of the great revolutions show that they are not the outcome of 8 day or a night, but have far reaching roots that may go back for centuries of expressions of one class by another. As rule when the upper class is overthrown and the lower class victorious, in a few decades the power in the hands of the former lower class intoxicates its leaders, and unrest and revolution again raises its Medusa-like head, and sets the world afiame. It takes time and much suffering to cause the masses to resort to war and bloodshed to obtain the justice they have been denied, but with great leaders they bring about great re- forms not otherwise to be obtained by the lower strata. With passing of the great leader of the revolution, the world resumes it's normal tone, and for while we have peace, for a few decades until the same causes again bring about the same explos- ions. So does history repeat itself, for human mature does not change. From the days of Spartacus, the leader of the. Roman gladiators to Napoleon the worlds evolution has been almost the same. SpartacuS with his heroic band of gladiators put the greatest of the Roman gen- erals to rout and like Napoleon caused wonder and amaze until at last he went the way of all who seek to compel recognition of the oppressed. The French revolution was long in the womb of time and was appeal to the sword to over throw the ruling class that had strangled the masses for centuries. K The Russian revolution was also the product of centuries of oppres- sion, and demonstrated that real revolutions do not advertise them- selves with fireworks, and bands and fireworks, but travel on rubber tires. The fireworks come after the revolution is fact. The same truths apply in a way to the Ger man people, crushed by . system

This battle of music between two groups seeking to control the musical output of those who write our popular melodies should prove another boom to the photograph record business. Right at the moment it's business peak is rap idly approaching the high mark set shortly after World War I. The present ASCAP-BMI scrap should send more people to records to get their favorite tunes when and as often as they want them A public, long accustomed to hearing music that has appealed down through the years, will continue to de- mand the pieces that have survived all manner of use and abuse.

Laura Krey Spins Epic of Texas

The pride that every Texan has in his state, in its history, it's size and it's greatness can now be shared l by all who read Laura Krey's mag i nificent novel of the birth of the /, Lone Star state, "On the Long Tide" (Houghton Mifflin: $2.75). This is a
 story of the adventurous Americans
 who pushed west from the Mississip-'
 pi into Mexico's province, fought for liberty and established their own republic.
 The author of And Tell of Time 'surpasses her earliest work
 with this splendid new historical
 novel. Although her story encom-
 passe a third of a century, intro duceS numerous historical charac- ters, touches major events from the battle of New Orleans to the fall of the Alamo, there is never a letdown. Nor does she allow his-
 tory to overshadow romantic inter-
 est, or personal characterization. The story is that of Jeffrey Fem tress, son of a Virginian who roved
 westward. After serving under Jack
 son in the Indian campaigns and at New Orleans, Jeffrey follows rain-
 bow westward into Texas. He falls in with James Longs ill., fated scheme to establish an inde- pendent republic, later adopts Ste- phen F. Austin's more conservative program, when the Mexicans whom Long had counted on for help are found lacking in the zeal for liberty which fired the Americans. Fentress build his home and his fortune in Texas, marries the daughter of one of his Mexican friends, seems headed for a com- fortable existence. But not for
 long.
 Indian troubles and the death of l his wife follow in swift succession. And constantly there is the mount | ing tide of American opposition to Mexican domination, 8 tide that

The confusion was understandable, for Ramspeck was filling in as substitute of substitute of a substitute Speaker, problem of succession that had parliamentary wizards going around in circles.
 Speaker Sam Rayburn; his designate, Majority Leader John Mccormack; and the latter's stand-in, Rep. William F. Cole of Maryland, all were out of town. Ordinarily after the House is called to order, the chaplain promptly leads in prayer. But this had to be postponed until Ramspeck read g letter from Cole turning over the gavel to him. Not until it was all over did veteran congressman realize that 8 precedent had been shat tered.
 Then to complete the mixup, prayer was read by a substitute minister, Rev. G. Ellis Williams, filling in for the regular chap lain, Rev. James Shera Montgonl- cry. @ GUARDING THE PRESIDENT
 No public appearance of the President receives more elaborate advance precautions than when he makes a speech or attends a dinner in hotel. Secret Service men virtually turn the place in- side out.

If you should happen to be registered at the hotel, the Se- cret Service will find out all about you, your business in the city, wher you came from and where you are going. Here is the procedure for guarding the President when he arrives:
 The day before he is to ap- pear, White House Secret Ger vice Chief Edmund w. Startling carefully inSpects every foot of the route through the hotel and the chamber used for the meet ing. Next the guest register is inspected. All guests whom h0- tel officials can't vouch for personally are quietly checked up by Starling's men. In addi- ton, the management. must Sub- init complete information about all employees.

COUNTRY BOY IN WINTER ((By Billy B. Cooper in the Christian
 Science Monitor)

His whistling can be heard field away On winter mornings, as he strides through snow To do his chores. A shaggy shepherd dog FriskS at his heels and pauses to inspect . recent rabbit trail The air is clear, Sunbright and crisp; and from the nearby wood Comes sound of chopping axes as the men Fell oak and hickory for the seasons fuel. The boy climbs through the fence and cuts across The lower meadow to the pasture pond; Skates dangle from his shoulder in the hope That ice has frozen smoothly; there has been A shifting wind the past few days. To call His dog from aimless tracking in the wood, He gives the redbird whistle, long and shrill;
