William Gibbs McAdoo

No history of the Democratic Party from the time of Woodrow Wilson down to the amazing story of Franklin Delano Roosevelt would be complete without sui ficient mention of William G. McAdoo, the little southern boy who grew to be one of the most influential members of the party to which he always gave al- legiance. Many people had little or no regard for McAdoo; they could never grow to like him. But regardless of personal feelings in this matter it can't be over looked that he was a powerful force in the party for a quarter of century or more.
 He was more than a mere Cabinet member when Wilson was elected He was a valued and respected member whose opinion was often sought, al- though it may have been more or less personal feeling in the matter that made Wilson appoint him to the Cabinet. His handling of the nations railroads during the latter part of the World War was al- ways sore point, but McAdoo outllved the memory of this brief experience to soar high in the councils of his party.
 In 1924 1928 and 1882 his was per suasive voice at the national convention of the Democratic Party. He might have won the 1924 nomination for President but for the magnetic personality of Alfred E. Smith Certainly in 1882 it was Me Adoo who proved a bulwark in the Roose- welt camp. His public career ended with a single term in the Senate, representing California To the end he remained a born politician and on this score he cer- tainly had remarkably successful career

Not One. a Million Leaders Needed

In times of stress and crisis, leadership is everything.
 The United States needs leadership - not the leadership of one man, to which several European countries have turned, tired and beaten by struggle and com pleMty - but leadership in every field. It is no longer enough for any man to be a leader simply in his own held the leader of today must see the rela- tionship of the special field to the whole, and act accordingly. Nobody ever ac- cuSed James TruSloW Adams Of being wild radical. He is a conservative busl- ness man turned historian. Yet he be- neves that the American scheme of things as living men have known it is now being given it's last chance.
 In recent article in "Barron'S," Adams appeals to business men to show them selves again capable of the leadership which once made them the heroes ot America. He sees turn to the business man from the politician especially since the defense drive has put so great a premium on efficiency. These factors, he feels, have given the business leaders new chance, and perhaps their last, to prove their value to the great society and to provide for it that leadership and serv- ice without which no class can perma- nently survive.
 Business leaders must realize, Adams warns, that today "a high business posi- ton, as has been said of public office, is a public trust and not merely we'll paid job" Business men like Knudsen end Stettinius who have given up we'll paying jobs to help their country are merely one example, Adams says; every business man must now devote part ot his time, energy, and thought to the general welfare, for it is at last realized that even a well-paying business is of no value if the whole country goes to smash.
 What Adams has so trenchantly point ed out to business men is true, of course, of all men occupying positions of author ity and influence. It is true of labor leaders, of lawyers, of financierS, of artists, of all who wield power in any form All are on trial today All will be judged in the future by the degree to which they have served society in general.

Annual Sessions

The Legislature probably won't Speno too much time arguing about the merits of that bill, introduced last week, calling for annual instead of biennial sessions. Legislation that affects this body or US members, unless it be patronage, IS apt to meet with lack of enthusiasm. And yet this is a proposal that has much merit behind it; there is need of considerable debate both in committee and in the two houses on the advisability of the change. As it now stands our biennial session IS hurried and the wonder of it is that so much is accomplished.
 However, in changing to yearly meet ingS the state might find it bit more expensive. Although it would be plan ned to cut down the length of the session so that for two years there probably wouldn't be any longer meeting, never theless it might be difficult to accom- pliSh this without sacrificing legislation to constitutional authority If the con stitution were changed to make an annua! session end on such date in April ana unusual circumstances attended, thered be a rush of special sessions.
 On the credit side of the annual session, though, is this It would mean that there would be no wasting of an entire month on organization and filing bills. Much Of this would be taken care of before the legislative session began. When senators and representatives arrived in the Capitol they'd find a legislative program outlined for adoption, amendment or rejection. They would have contributed to this, ot course, but routine would have been avoid ed through a permanent body created for the purpose of facilitating the legislative process.
 The state has tried several times to do this, but each time didn't get far because officials and legislators don't think much of programs that are prepared for them and about which they can't do lot ot explaining. That's why we don't think thererl be too much serious thought put into . proposal to change the present arrangement of sessions

The office of the Quartermaster General thereupon drafted a let ter calling Ford's attention to this deletion. It was sent to Patter- son for approval before being mailed-as required by Army pro- cedure.
 His reply was to send the let ter back to the QMC with word that if Ford didn't want to com ply with the labor laws of the Government, the order was to go to someone who would. Next day teIegraphic notification was sent Chrysler that it had been awarded the contract.
 SOL'S "BLOOMERS"
 Genial Sol Bloom is doing a good job as chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, but while visiting Mexico for the inauguration of President Avila Camacho he certainly got into a lot of Mexican hair. Sol pulled so many bonehead plays that a word was colneo TOT them-"BlOOmerS."
 Shortly after his arrival at the Reforma Hotel he announced that he should have equal diplomatic rank with Vice-PreSident-elect Wallace. The House of Represen- tatives, Sol proclaimed, voted the money for the executive branch of the government. and he did not care to be outranked by anybody.
 So when MT. Bloom walked into the Mexican Chamber of Depu- tics and found Henry Wallace seated in the Diplomatic Gallery for the presidential inauguration, he was 1t to be tied. In fact, he raised so much fuss that the Mex jeans. anxious to please, finally gave Sol and Mrs. Bloom seats on the floor of the Chamber.
 This was the first time In his- tory that . woman had sat on the floor Of the Mexican Cham Der.

If Waterburys railroad station were centrally located like Meridens and New Britain's some efforts might have been made long before this to make it more or less the central loading zone for all busses. But here our station is well away from the center of the town, removing as this does all necessity for railroad tracks through the business section. In Meriden and New Britain the railroad pierces the heart of both communities neceSsitating numerous grade crossings. Incidentally Waterbury has long had reason to be proud of the New Haven Roads station and property here, regarded as among the handsomest in the state.

 The same might be said also for his governmental reform measures, the lat est of which would accomplish something that has really been pointed out as nec- essaTy for some few years back. Ellmina- tion of several state departments by placing them under the heading of the State Department of Agriculture is both an economy and a move towards more efficiency. We only hope that the gover- nor can do what others before him failed to bring about in this respect Maybe he'll have more of chance with the Leg islature which has always been the stumbling block to any governors reform program

Later, at the fiesta for honored guests, Sol yelled to John Bank head, U. s. trade commissioner, to make that man sit dOwn!" That man" blocking MT. Blooms vision was none other than the Mexican Foreign Minister.
 PEOPLE IN TRADE"
 Arriving at a luncheon for the President, Sol found that he was not to be seated with Wallace and Avila Camacho. So he left. Em- barrassed, American Embassy of- ficials explained that he was ill. But when Henry Wallace called to see how Sol was feeling, he found him at Sanborn's restau- rant enjoying a healthy repaSt.
 By this time Lamar Hardy. for mer federal District Attorney of New York, cracked down on the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee with: Listen, Sol, I. knew you back in the days when ycu were just peddling photo graphs"
 However, there was one honored guest who stood up for him Mrs. Patrick J. Hurley, statuesque wife of the ex-Secretary of War.
 "I can understand MT. Blooms point of view" she said. After all, he represents Congress, which is the legislative branch of the U. s. Government"
 But when the honored Ameri- can guests attended the luncheon by President Avila Camacho, the Blooms rode in the same car with the Patrick Hurleys, and Sol sub sequently complained that he had to ride with people who were in Mexico lon trade"

o. Why is the Joshua tree, a arge yucca, so named?
 A. It was named by the Mormons of the southwest, because they be- ieved its sharp spikes, like Joshua, pointed the way to their promised land.
 Q. How cold is twice as cold as below zero?
 A. The U. s. Weather Bureau says that such expressions as twice as hot as" and twice as cold as" refer entirely to the discomfort of the individual, and even then are only rough comparisons of the statt' of ones feelings that depend on more things than temperature, Twice as cold as" and other simi- lar expressions, cannot be evaluated in terms of the reading of the thermometer. The subject is discus sed in circular, Twice as Cold as" which may be obtained by sending a stamped, addressed envelcp to the Waterbury Democrat Service Bureau, 1913 Thirteenth St., Wash
 
 ington, D. c.
 o. How may Plaster of Paris be mixed so as to retard setting?
 A. The setting time of Plaster of Paris may be retarded by the addi- tion of certain materials, known as retarders. One of these is glue or gelatine. which may be dissolved in the mixing water. A few tenths of one per cent of retarder to the weight of the Plaster of Paris is all that is required to markedly increase the setting time.
 o. Does Mrs. James R. Crom- well, former Doris Duke, have any children?
 A. No. On July II, 1940, at Hon. olulu, Hawaii, Mrs. Cromwell gave birth to a child three months pre- maturely. The infant died about 25 hours after birth.
 o, What is a standing" army?
 A. Permanent army of paid sol- diers.

On his previous visit he con- ferred with few political and press inti1nates about his cam paign to force the British to open their blockade to permit shipment of food to NaZi-occupied Europe. But this time he had the lend- lease bill on his mind.
 As on his first trip, Hoover held forth at the home of William Castle, soft-spoken Under Secre- tary of State in his cabinet close adviser of Colonel Lindibergh, and one of the master minds of isolation. For the occasion, Cas- tie gave a private dinner and in- vited small group of Republi- can isolationist leaders, among them Senators Vandenberg and Taft.
 The ex-President vigorously de- nounced the lend-lease bill as dictatoriaH and urged that every effort be made to "blackout," as he expressed it, the broad powers it would give Roosevelt to aid Britain.
 According to HoOver's explan- ation of his position, he favOrs a bill under which the British would be lent a stated sum of money for the purchase of arm amentS and materials here, but only after putting up as col lateral British capital invest ments in the U. s.
 Hoover expressed a desire to have his ideas offered as amend ments when the bill is debated in the Senate, and it was agreed that he should draft the amend ments.
 NOTE-All present at the din- ner voiced hot disapproval of Willkie's endorsement of the Roosevelt bill and junket to Lon- don. The term irresponsible" was used several times to describe his action.

LET MANUFACTURERS TAKE UP SLACK IN OUR FINANCIAL
 PICTURE, SAYS EDDIE
Editor, Waterbury Democrat:

Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 In your editorial comment on one of my bills in Saturdays Democrat, you were both unduly pessimistic and unreasonably optimistic. You were pessipistic on the matter of pulling the city out of the bed- raggled manner in which its finances are being handled and are apparently afraid that its perpetual nuisance, its floating indebtedness will be removed. You ask in the caption. Is the Chance Coming? And you continue in the same vein by saying that such an aim cannot be accomplished painlessly.
 In answer to your question, Is the Chance Coming, my answer is that the chance is not only coming, but is actually here. It will be a long time before the city will have an- other opportunity such as presents itself at this time 10 put its finan- cial house in order And 1t is pos sible to accomplish this painlessly. An extra two millions of dollars in taxes can be collected from our tIlhIluAdCtuItEo WHO hAC WOIAAAAB OAi defense orders. Such additional tax ation will not hurt them in any way. It will only cut down their dividends slightly, But they will have plenty to divide up anyway
 You repeat what you suggested in your first editorial that the other cities are also maintaining the same kind of Q nuisance that We have maintained, that is borrowing in anticipation Of taxes and that we should not try to abate the nuisance ourselves. but walt until the other cities join in. Well. cannot agree to that sentiment in this editorial any more than I did in the first. I say. let uS abate our own nuisance and let the other cities continue to 1 stew in theirs if they wish to.

In the last paragraph of your editorial, while admitting that the idea embodied in my bill is pretty good, you are suggesting that you have better one. You are suggest ing that inasmuch as the city acquired a sizeable balance last year and is also certain to acquire an- other one this year, ultimately, you say, these balances will wipe out the floating indebtedness and the city will not have to resort to tenn porary loans. Isn't ultimately a very very vague and indefinite word in this case? Have you ever read Aesop's fables. MT. Editor? If you haven't. I would suggest that you do so as I am certain that you will find a fable there with the right moral to fit this case.
 Before concluding, I would like to ask you another question. Suppose

 However, there was a great deal more to it behind the scenes-in fact, the most significant defense development in weeks.
 What was not revealed in this routine announcement was that Ford was the low bidder but did not, get the contract. He was de- nied the order because he refused to agree to labor provisions.
 For labor, this was a tremen- deus victory. For withal its protests, the die-hard auto mak- CT was awarded several big Army contracts several months ago despite failure to comply with the labor laws.
 The man who did the cracking down was quiet-mannered, con- scientious Under Secretary of War Robert Patterson, former Repub- hcan U. s. Circuit Court judge, and this is what happened:
 On December 31 the Army asked for bids on the desired trucks. Three firms responded, Ford, Chrysler and International. The bids were opened January ?, at Holabird, Md, headquarters of the Motor Transport Division of the Quartermaster Corps. Ford was low. Chrysler second and In- ternational high.
 The QMC specifications re- quired compliance with the Walsh -Healey Act and "all other statutes" In the Ford bid, all labor provisions were scratched out.

goes into commission, 1450 officers and men will march abroad. Each one of tho 1450 must know exactly where he is to sleep, what his battle station is, where he slows his bag gage, what his daily routine is go- ing to be and precisely what part of tEe immensely complicated &C., tivity of battleship's life is to be his.
 Captain Hustvedt and Commander Shepard have to figure all of that out, and reduce it to writing, before April II. They can't copy it from any rule books, either. They can re- view the organization existing on other battleships, of course, but the North Carolina is bigger than and different from any other U s. ship, and there can't be much duplication. TURRET WEIGHS AS
 MUCH AS DESTROYER
 Some of the engine room ratings are already on board, getting fami- liar with the ships intricate ma- chinery. Crew lists are being com piled from day to day. About 85 per cent of the total complement will consist of experienced men, either from the fleet or from shore stations. The rest will be rockies fresh from the training stations. They'll be assembled in navy yard barracks early in April, ready to go abroad when the commission pennant is hoisted.
 The North Carolina was launched last June, and when she hit the water was about three-quarterS completed. Since then she has been getting her side armor, her turretS, her guns and her superstructure. Building of the turrets started about the time the ships keel was laid on Oct. 27, 1937-and getting them l installed is one of the toughest parts of the whole job of battleship building. since single turret with guns and armor weighs about 1,500 tons. just about as much as an average destroyer.
 Navy yard inspectors of course go over all of the work to see that satisfactory, but Captain Hustvedt is expected to check on everything also. Another part of his job is to see that the infinity of small stores and accessory equipment gets abroad. This includes staggering list of items, ranging from a set of the flags of all nations to 5000 feet of three-inch anchor chain, and run ming to such unexpected things as an electrical meteorological incuba- tor, a soda fountain, four sewing machines, six barber chairs, den- tist's chair, a portable pulpit, 38 oil lanterns, a full set of band inStru- ments, a garbage incinerator, an assortment of brooms and swabS and supply of neatly printed ships | stationery.
 TEST RUN TURNS
 UP THE BUGS"
 Getting the ship into commission doesn't end the get-ready work, either. The new crew has to be trained in handling the vessel. There must be a shakedown cruise, with a return to the navy yard for adjustment of minor bugs that are sure to be discovered. After that comes trip to Rockland, Me. for official tests over measured-rnile course, with careful checking of fuel consumption, propeller revolutions, speed and the like. More adjust ments and repairs will follow those tests.
 Then-some time in June, the navy hopes-the first battleship Uncle Sam has put into service for IS years will be ready to take her place as a fighting unit in. the bat tie fleet.
