THE NEXT STEP
(New Haven Journal-C Courier)


 A few years ago 1t was bingo which was given legislative sanction in Connecticut on the ingenious as- sumption that gambling is no longer gambling if 1t is run for the partial benefit of churches, well-meaning clubs and welfare organizations. The manner in which that legal permis- sion has been exploited Is now noto- rious, but is blandly accepted as one of those necessary niiisances which 1t would be difficult to disturb. The opening wedge for the return and expansion of all manner of gambling devices was then driven into Con- necticut law. Now the opening is wid ened, the expansion process begins. Carnival wheels were given the ap- provalsof the late General Assembly. The terms are similar to those of the blngo legalization. How those terms can be used to advantage by the operators. Is an open secret.
 And when was that measure passed? On that last dlsreputable day when debate was impossible and hardly a state senator or as- sernblyman even knew what was go- ing through. According to reports, few of them knew what was in this particular bill and even less cared, "A tow influential na@usheTA wmkl1eM 5t

conditions. Many c ql stionabls bill has slipped through under such conditions.
 Apparently at least one measure of that type got by at the last ses- sion. The bill is no stranger in ieg- islative halls. It has been offered, in one form and another, on fre- ouent occasions. It legalizeS the op~ eration of wheels of chance and cer- tain other gambling devices at places of amusement like Savin Rock, Myrtle Beach, Lake Com bounce, as well as by volunteer Ire men, granges and other orBaniza- tons.
 The fact that the bill had been enacted apparently was not known generally to members of eith% house. The public did not learn Uk 1t until several days after adjourn ment. Its promoters apparently worked quietly as well as industri- ouSly.
 It is to be hoped that Governor Hurley will kill the bill. Howeyes he may feel personally about the kind of gambling which it legaIl9sA he can hardly approve of its be- Ing dipped over on the public wlslar NNN #E#1A l.A.A

of that scandalous hypocrite who lives farther down the street; see what success he has, what honor and satisfaction.
 But God sent Jesus Christ into the world and allowed Him to go to the cross that men might see that such reasoning is wrong. If God spared not His own Son, He will not spare us; but we can be sure that if we have His Sons spirit, we shall share His glory. Sacrifices and elf-effacement are the experiences in life which cause the heavens to open and Gods blessing to come down upon us.
 Do not look to Christianity imme. diately to solve all your problems. Christian faith constantly creates new problems at the same time that 1t solves old problems. Life is a school, and school without prob- leTns is not @ school at all-it Is Ia playground, unsupervised, where children run riot to their ultimate hurt and destruction.

The Sympathetic Warrior

It was a bitter Al Smith who slipped out a side door of the Congress Hotel in Chicago July 3, 1882. He was an hour before train time, but he was eager to avoid the crowd gathered at the front entrance to greet Governor Roosevelt, triumphant winner of the presidential nomination Smith had sought and lost. It was bitter Al Smith who through the succeeding nine years snarled criticisms of the New Deal and aided and com forted its enemies.
 Was it the memory of the days when he, too, bore the crushing weight of lead. ership and public responsibility that led Al Smith to the White House the other day? It was just friendly call he said. q wanted to shake hands with the Pres ident and wish him we'll" It was decent and gracious thus to dissolve old bitter ness in sympathetic goodwill toward one who is bearing staggering burden

Selected Poem
THE FORGE

(Grace Lee Kenyon in the Poets Column,
 Hartford CouranD The drop forge booms through the misty night Like mighty heart, throbbing with unrest; Like jungle drum rolling call to war Through tangled forests. With each beat red glare pulses like blood From the tall chimneys, Staining the scudding clouds, bringing vague un-
 rest To the sleeper. Even in dreams, we are caught in the surge of its
 iron rhythm, We struggle, submerged, in the rise and fall Of the roaring waves of sound. It is part of by day, 1t is one with us by night; Our hearts keep time in thin, ghostly tattoo To the steady revcrberations of the drop forge: Our blood ebbs and flows with the ebb and flow or the red tide from the chimneys.

The Newspaper Guild struggle reaches A climax At ltS annual convention this month In De- trOlt, when . fight will be made Co eliminate the clique of left lsts holding key national offices,
 Chiefly from New Yrok, this faction has followed . straight Communist party line" policy In opposing defense and nnti-Axis measures. Recently, without the authorization of rank-and- file newSmen, they used Guild funds to put up an elaborate report" defending themselves.
 The Washington Guild, one of Che anti-Red leaders, plans Co force . test at Detroit by Of- fering . resolution endorsing the Presidents action ln breaking the outlaw North American Aviation strike, Since the leftlsts have violently denounced this, they'll have to show their hand.
 Other Cio unions due for house. cleanings are the Die Casting Workers and the Electrical Work CTS. Edward T. Soheyfitz, na- tional secretary Of the Die Casters who staged an outlaw strike at the Cleveland plant of the Alum mum Corporation, is O leftiSt who once spent 0 year in Russia, CORN GASOLINE
 The famous "kick" In corn liquor Is to be harnessed for defense. However, Dry groups don't need to worry. It's to be utilized for motor, not body fuel.
 Experiments will begin soon at Q Department of Agriculture chemical laboratory in Peoria, H., to determine if the alcohol made from corn mash Is suitable for mixing with gasoline. Idea is (D to find & blend that will in crease the octane rating of low grade gas; (2) conserve 10 per cent or more of the gasoline used by civilians; (3) provide new use for the corn surplus.
 NOTE-Wags In the Bureau of Chemistry already have coined Q trade name for corn gasoline Mountain Dew".
 HULL AND WINANT
 In making his various reports on the British situation, Ambas- sador Winant carefully saved his really confidential information for the President. To other officials he gave out little more than they could read in the papers.
 In his report to the State De- partment, for instance, he said al- most nothing. His session with Cordell Hull reminded listeners of two gentlemen each trying to irn- press the other with his wisdom but revealing almost nothing.

The fight may split the or. ganization from top to bottom, since tho Kommie element Is strongly entrenchcd in certain unions. What finally happens de- pends chiefly on John L. Lewis.
 The bushy-browed miner chief permits no Communists In his own outfit, has ruthlessly stamped on their attempts to capture key places. But when CfO president he surrounded himself with fel- low.travelers, and this year has played ball with them In hls poe litical and anti-defense maneuv- CTS.
 Tf Lewis raised his voice against the Reds they would be driven out of power In 90, days. But he has never said . word, and tho lcftlsts openly lean on his name and power in the CIO. This has acted Rs . strong TO. straint on anti-Red leaders, who would have launched purge long ago but for fear of John l..
 The wraps are off now, how ever, and the strictly trade union forces are determined to clean house regardless of Lewis. If he sides with the leftlsts, there will be Q battle royal that will make labor history. If he keeps hands off, the fight will take some time, but the CIO will remain Intact. If he should blast the Reds, the purge will be painless.
 OFFENSIVE UNDER WAY
 Besides the aviation purge, simi- lar offensives already are under way in the Newspaper Guild and the Woodworkers.
 L. c. Orton, Inducements head who thumbed his nose at q Medi- ation Board strike settlement ap- proved by Phil Murray, is head ed for an custer showdown. Mur- ray has given the signal, and union machinery already is in mo- ton behind the scenes.

Secretary Hull said what he though about Winston Churchill, and Ambassador Wlnant ehimed In with; And Mir. Churchill said Co mc"--and 50 on,
 Finally the discussion got down to the fine points of international law and whether the United States had violated it, Here the center of the stage was hold by Green Hackworth, cherub-faced legal adviser, who got out his Inv books and quoted various para graphs, sections and sub-sections,
 "You see, MT. Secretary" he said, "we are violating lnterna- tional law when we take British vessels into our ports Co be re paired. Hero iS the citation. It may not be In violation of the Neutrality Act, but tho Neu- trality Act is An unllateral dec- lArAtl0n N which Germany lS net R party. And anytime she wants to she can retaliAte against us."
 Nobody raised the point that Q considerable number of British ships already were in our navy yards and 1t was little late to be talking theory of international law, Nor did anyone raise the point that Hitler himself had been the chief scrapper of all there Is left of international law,
 Tn this vein the meeteing droned on,
 HULL THE MOUNTAINEER
 Secretary Hull was very differ ent when he summoned French Ambassador Henry-Haye to his hotel and romped all over him for resisting the British in Syria,
 Romp.ng over the Vichy am- -bassador is something which MT. Hull seems to enjoy and he does 1t well. Flo reminded M. Henry Have that Syria was a mandated territory entrusted to France by the League Of Nations, and that France had withdrawn from the League.
 Therefore" Mir. Hull said, "you have no business there and no right to resist the British"
 Hull also compared the Syrian episode to the French surrender of Indo-China to Japan. With far better forces In French Indo- China, he said, France offered no opposition to the Japanese. There- fore, France could have pleaded @ similar inability to fight in Syria.
 Instead you played into the hands of Germany" he conclud- cd, "and contradicted all the assurances you have given me-"

GOOD CHANGE FOR A VETO
(Hartford Times)

NkA0A tAO&V \ 4AAACSt
 It is quite likely that the recent legislature presented Governor Hur- ley with an exceptional opportunity to use the pocket veto as a means of killings undesirable legislation. There are always numerous matters which do not reach the Governor until after the session has adjourned and the final discretion as to whether they shall become law thereby becomes his.
 Due to the confusion which Slr- rounded the closing days Of the rec cent session, and the disputes be- tween the two houses, the number of such bills must be larger than usual.
 Under such conditions careless ness prevails. Matters do not get even cursory attention. Members frequently vote aye and nay with out any clear knowledge of the sib- ject before them.
 All of that offers a fine field for the operations of those who are inc terested In legislation which would nut nave QhAiaea HilN&z aEaAnAKy
