Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 attended the rally held at the Wilby High school sponsored by the America First Committee. The hall was packed, the speakers were ex- cellent, the spectators were gener- ous in their applause and with their contributions.
 A week previous the Mothers of America held rally at the same school, the same conditions pre- vailed. All of this took me back a few years to a meeting held at Buckingham Hall, sponsored by the Union for Social Justice. The same conditions prevailed, only difference here was that the principal speaker could be heard and not seen. The speaker was Rev. Charles E. Cough lin.
 Of all the words he said that afternoon that I consider most sig- nificAnt in this connection were in reference to Roosevelt" The last words to come out Of that ioud- speaker were You must defeat that man." The crowd roared its ape proval and then came the dawn.
 Roosevelt was not only elected. but about 0S per cent of those wiio were ct the meeting voted for him. Why do I say all thls2 Well. frank ly speaking I don't know, except

Won't Be Forced Out

The political season is moving apace. This was brought home rather forcibly of recent date when the Hartford Times broached the possibility of a Democratic party fight over the resignation of John T. Mccarthy as State Chairman. There have been all sorts of rumorS about this ever since he was confirmed as State Motor Vehicle Commissioner by the 194l Legislature. On the practical side of 1t there is the viewpoint that he would not care to assume the burdens that go with both these responsible positions, particu- larly in an election year.
 It's safe to venture the opinion that MT. Mccarthy will resign the chairman ship, but he won't be forced out. While he is mild-mannered lie is not easily pushed as Democrats discovered year ago in Waterbury when the State Central Committee did get around to naming a successor to J, Francis Smith of this city. The same thing was also discovered last fall when State Chairman Mccarthy set about winning the gubernatorial nomina- ton for Robert A. Hurley. MT. Mccarthy Is open to persuasion, listens to sugges- tion, but does not heed intimidation.
 Offhand it might seem logical to SUD- pose that towards the end of this year his resignation as party head would be submitted This would come after most of the towns and cities of the state, which elect in odd-numbered years, had concluded their activities. It would come, too, in sufficient time for his successor to acquaint himself with the many and diverse duties of the chairman. There's always the possibility, though, that Mr. Mccarthy may relish the chance to try a second time to get Governor Hurley elected. He's justly proud of his first such effort.

on the tide of price increases. For either to take deliberate advantage of the need for arms in order to enforce demands out of key with such situation is without excuse.
 It is wrong for an employer to hold off from producing vital defense goods be- cause he saw a chance to pressure the government into allowing him an extra per cent of profit since his product was unique and badly needed. So it is wrong for a union leader to put pressure on vital defense plant for. demands not so much concerned with maintaining the workers standards as with some matter of union politics or administration. These are times when, for the good of all, pro- duction of defense materials must come first. All are entitled to, and should, protect themselves against undue and disproportionate hardship and sacrifice, but it is no time to use the emergency for personal or group gains that are equally out of proportion.

the present leadership. It is general ly conceded that this group shall endorse ex-Mayor Patrick Perriello for their candidate as mayor on the primary ballot that they will put in the field. You all know what good job MT. Perriello did when he was mayor He did more for your benefit in months than his predecessors did in twenty years.
 Attend this meeting and support MT. Perriello. Unless you do the Re- publican party has absolutely no chance whatsoever of administering the affairs of Waterbury for the next two years anyway. Intelligent Republicans will not vote for an Upson, Hall, Taller, Pape stooge.
 P. s. II understand through the papers that they are having hard time to have even stooge represent them.
 Stooges apparently have no desire to take another shellacking from the Democrats TOT no reason at all, only that they would be sponsored by a small group who in the past controlled the Republican party but unfortunately did not know how to exercise this control for the benefit of the party and the voters of Wa terbury.

WishfuI Fancies

The announcement in the press late last week that Mayor Vincent A. Scully was being considered for an important post in the National Defense Administra- ton, over which Mayor Fiorella La Guardia of New York City presides, seem- ed to be accompanied by certain amount of anticipation. This, despite the fact that it was claimed that Democratic leaders were shivering at the prospect of their stalwart walking out" on them just as an election campaign comes into view.
 It was almost as if Republican cam paignerS were giving voice to the thought
 what chance we'd have of winning a city election if the top man in the city administration was suddenly taken out of the play. And there probably is some reason for such viewpoint. Removing a perfectly "sure bet" for reelection from any party would be handicap despite the presence of good party organization and a definite political trend.
 ! On the other side of the picture, though is the pride that Waterbury is entitled to take in the fact that our mayor was considered for an important defense ad- ministration post, if the report was &C., curate and authentic. His ability as an administrator is recognized; his aptitude for defense problems wins consideration The city and the Democratic Party are joint sharers in this honor of being marked for advancement, despite the lack of any official confirmation

Don't Use the Emergency

The defense emergency is national crisis. It is a national effort in which every man, woman, and child in the coun- try has an interest. Our collective future hangs on it's success. We do not know in exactly what way the military power we are building is going to be used. We know that, the world being what it is today, a nation like our own must have such power to be safe. The building of military power on a national scale of this kind is a national effort. It can be no less.
 What does that mean? It means that it is a collective effort, an effort of all the people together for common end. Since it is that, it follows that no one, and no group of people should use it for their individual advantage. Strong ef- aorts have been made to prevent profiteer- ing. Out of this national effort, the American people do not want to see a new crop of war millionaireS. Neither do the American people wish to be held up by unreasonable demands by labor groups which happen to be in a position to en- force demands.
 Nobody wants to see owners and man. agers of great plants operate those plants at loss, or see them stripped of proper reserves or equipment that will enable them to meet peacetime demands after the emergency has passed. That would be short-Sighted Nobody waats to sec labor caught without the ability to pro- tect itself by proper means of keeping efloat on life-preserver of better wages

Small Business Is Hit

Ever since the United States shifted to a war basis there appears to have been a steady stream of criticism of the way in which things have been done under di- rection of our Government Is it not reasonable to expect good many mis- takes and missteps in plans that run into billions of dollars? It seems only fair to say that the records show that the whole job has been done better than anyone could have possibly expected when the defense program was launched.
 Unfortunately small business has been hurt. Small business firms today "face a precarious and uncertain future," in the opinion of the Washington Evening Star Among the reasons for an increaS- ing number of failures of small business firms is traced to advancing prices, and increased costs of keeping business going as usual Small business and small wage earners are badly hit by the action of Congress in scaling down the exemption levels.
 The National Industrial Conference Board reports that 275 industrial com- panies set aside 51.6 per cent of their earnings to meet Federal taxes, during the first half of this year, as compared with 267 per cent in 1940 That is very informative item which shows that in- dustry is carrying heavy burdens Big business will wiggle through; but thous- andS of small business firms are already in the red and the mortality rate in that group is steadily increasing.

More and more people are sympathiz- ing with the efforts of Senator Francis T. Maloney in pushing probe of condi- tions that brought about curtailment of gasoline supplies throughout the Atlantic seaboard New England seems to be more than affected by the ruling of Fuel Ad- ministrator Harold Ickes. There is a growing suspicion in many quarters that all of MT. Ickes' claims about the neces- sty of drastic cuts in the use of gasoline won't hold water. That's why the need of some such check-up as the Connecticut Senator recently proposed catches public fancy The motoring public would be and certainly has been quick to accept the when the suspicion that all this is for naught starts to penetrate deeply it's time for something more satisfying than a declaration that winter supplies of oil will not be able to be handled.

REPUBLICANS URGED TO DESERT PRESENT PARTY LEADERSHIP IN PRIM-
 AIRY FIGHT

Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 Very shortly now, in fact within two weeks, the Republican voters of Waterbury will have, an opportunity to decide whether the Republican party as 1t is operated now by the present leaders is satisfactory to them or whether they will join forces with the active Republicans dis satisfied with the disgraceful, high handed, unethical, and unsuccess- full method of operation by these- so-called leaders and relegate them to the background during the com ing municipal election campaign.
 Much depends on the success of the Republican party for a number of years to come by the decision of the majority of the Republican vot- CTS in the coming Republican prim- aries.
 Forewarned is forearmed. A dor- mant attitude, a lackadaisical effort to assist your party or a dilatory response to the pleadings of Repub- licans who want the party to be suc- cessful locally depends entirely on Republican voters listed on the Republican primary list. All intelli- gent Republicans know as well as I do that the present leaders of the Republican party locally are fiat failures politically. Unless you in terest yourself at this time these same flat failures will continue to dictate Republican policies in Wa terbury and you will be governed by the Democrats. Upson, Hall, Taller, Pape, combined with their Stooges, could never win an election in Wa terbury regardless of the fact that MT. Kenneth Bradley, chairman of the Republican State Central Com mittee, did come to Waterbury and make a statement, at least it has been attributed to him, as being made by him and which I'd doubt because I have always believed that he was too smart to make such a mistake-"You must support the organization or else get out of it." In other words right or wrong you must support these leaders or else get out of the party. Don't believe such hash. The present leaders with the assistance of Mir. Bradley, if he were willing to lend 1t to them. could not drive you out of the party for exercising your constitutional rights. You liv. n a free country and thank God that you can oppose dictation from any man or group of men. especially incompetents. !.

Rhode Islands oyster industry is done, finished, blown up. Not single commer- cial oyster boat moved in Narragansett Bay Monday. September 1 is the tradi- tional first day for oysters to come into season, but officials in our neighbor to the east are convinced that dredging op- erations this fall will find the crop sparse indeed. The 1888 hurricane raised havoc with the oyster beds and what were left were recently given pretty bad harrow ing during dredging operations at the Quonset Point Naval Air Station. Here in Connecticut the industry has been bat ting not so much mans inroads, but those of the oysters natural enemies, StarfiSh, etc.

While the spacious East Room GAO by 80 feeD was torn up, workmen did thorugh job of overhauling. There is a new base of dark red marble, running around the room, where the floor meets the walls. The old ma hogany doors have been refinished, the three elaborate glass chan deliers have bne cleaned and poll ished, and the ntir room, walls and ceiling, were given tw ocoats of white paint.
 But Howell Grim, who had charge of the job, is proudest of the new oak floor. "When we get a wax polish on that floor" he says, "even a fly would slip on 1t and break a collar bone"

@. Is the weight of the earth any different than 1t was i've thousand years ago?
 A. Presumably 1t is heavier than it was thousands of years ago, since the acretion of meteorites and mete- oric dust from innumerable meteors that burn up in the atmosphere add thousands of tons annually to the earth's weight. Even 80, as an addition to the earth's mass, this weight is trivial, and its effects on the revolution and the rotation 7of the earth are too small to be meas urable.
