A Thought for Today
Honest Endeavors

Seldom does Mayor Vincent A. Scully become so aroused that he finds it neceS- Sary to deny as vehemently as he did this week some of the remarks of his political opponents. Listening to His Honor speak over the radio Wednesday night friends were quick to notice his resentment in discussing charges that had been made about him and his administration by his opponent for the mayoralty, Patrick M. Perriello. Somehow or other we don't think that MT. Perriello really meant what he was quoted as saying to Bun- ker Hill audience.
 Of course, we may be wrong, but here Eofore the COP candidate has shown re- markedly good taste in his references to the Scully administration and to the Democratic Party. But it may be that he Is going to follow a different pattern throughout the closing days of the cam paign. The pattern was clearly outlined this past week by the Republican news papers of the city. Mayor Scully man. fully defended himself against the lmpll- cation that his administration is out of his own hands and in those of behind-the- scene manipulating politicians.
 That matter has been gone into pretty thoroughly, but evidently MT. Perriello Has Dee1 G1lCOu1dSeu GO COIAI444uS ouCl1 c line of attack. It's not good one for the simple reason that it's far from com plimentary to the man whom Waterbury now has as the head of it's city govern ment - a man who has given more generously of his time and talents than q good many mayors before him and who has been acclaimed in most non-parti- san manner by everyone. When the issues are discussed Mayor Scully will argue Ehem thoroughly, hoping, of course, that l1is defense or his explanation will satisfy the voters.
 But when the issue is the Democratic Party of the past, then the mayor takes exception and rightully as he rather pointedly indicated to his opponent Wednesday night. This 'boogey-man-in- the-closet' business is really overdone here in Waterbury, most people are be- ginning to think.

Sweet Music

It was good to read the other day that the big radio chains and ASCAP had come to mutual agreement. It brought to an end the differences resulting in with drawal of all the music, controlled by ASCAP, from those stations allied with NEG and Columbia. Of course, originally Mutual and many independent stations had also put the ban on the music, but in most of these instances early agreements had been reached.
 To good many people this announce ment won't make much difference. Music is music to them whether it's ASCAP- controlled or not. They'd don't differen- tiate between what they have been hear ing the past few months and what they may have been accustomed to over per- iod of years But to a great many others, whether they be musicians or just have a nice ear for music, the news is most agreeable. It released for broadcast priv ileges great stores of music, familiar over great many years. We are sincerely glad that an amicable settlement of dis agreement could be reached.

Unite Against Imitation

The case against imitation has never been better nor more strongly put than it was the other day by Secretary Nor genthau Never was it more clearly shown that all must unite against it, or all must go down together beneath 1t. It is folly, the secretary said, for farmers to push prices up, by creating scarcities, for labor leaders to continue to seek re- peated and regular wage increases that only increase costs and prices and thus wipe themselves out, for landlords to charge all the traffic will bear in crowd ed centers, for business men to seek ex- orbitant profits or bankers to hike interest rates.
 Each, seeking to advantage his selfish interest, is contributing to downfall which might engulf all. Wisdom, re- straint, and sanity, not on the part of few officials, but on the part of millions of ordinary people, is all that will save us.

Uncle Sam is making money hand over fist these days. The hints are working night and day to keep up with the de- mand for all the coins of the realm. The hints at Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco are working their employees night and day, seven days a week. Ii business continues as it has been this year the federal government may even build new mint at Anderson, Indiana: Pennies and nickles are most in demand by the American customer, probably be- cause of the increasing prevalence of a great many types of slot machines and sales taxes. Silver dollars are also ex- periencing remarkable pickup. A few years ago you couldn't give one to any body, but right now they not only take them but come back for more. On ob- server said the "cartwheels' was sought by soldiers, but they might also have been greatly popularized by "give-away" radio programs At any rate our money is in great demand-but when wasn't 1t?

Americas Slave City

It's all right to boast about American freedom as contrasted with the lack of liberty in Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, but how about the city of Wash ington? Its citizens are totally disfran- chised. Not to speak of national elec- tions, they have no voice even in their home affairs. They have taxation with out representation. They are totally dependent upon the will and whims Of Congress.
 And with congressman and senators, Washington is a secondary affair. There are no votes to be gained by catering to WashingtonianS. Just as long as the people of the capital city cannot even get an increase in their police force without securing consent of Congress, just so long will Washington be helot metrop- plis.

Another Hero Dies

Men who find the chains of tyranny too chafing to be worn are falling before firing squads throughout France these days so it isn't headline news when a citizen of that trampled land dies Yet Dr. Felix Lobligeois, whose passing rated small notice, probably was as heroic a figure as those brave men who resist their Nazi masters.
 Both of Doctor Lobligeois' hands had been amputated in an attempt to block the spread of radium poisoning which he contracted after 30 years work with that marvel of medicine. There probably was no surging crowd at his last rites such as would have attended services for a mlll- tary leader or matinee idol. But the ser vices of Doctor Lobligeois and his kind cannot be measured by the numbers who come to their funerals

Some of the wild stories that are now being paraded under the heading of "sins' of the Scully administration don't deserve the paper they are printed on. They are the same sort of stuff that you read about in the movies and the stories. But when you start to trace them down here and find the answer, you're dlsap- pointed if you were seeking excitement. As the mayor has said on various occa- sions his administration is not perfect, but it is devoted to public interest and Ii anyone is guilty to violating what he con siders good government then he or she IS acting independently and not under or ders from him.

Selected Poem

OCTOBER SONG (Clare MacDermott in the Poets corner
 Hartford Courant She has twined her brow
 With cosmos bud; White as a soul new Striven, Is her light that falls
 In a limpid flood, Cleaning through branches riven; Half gypsy and half num- With mien now gay-now sober Scattering petals, one by one, Airily comes October. Her way lies straight
 Through lane of gold, With the sound of a blue jay calling; On rosebud limp in her languid hold, There's the plop of walnut falling Half gupsy and half nun, With a mien now gay-now sober,
 And her ears cooked wide For the hunters gun,
 Warily comes October. Later with trees
 In tangled wisp And their branches limp hereunder. And the wind blown sudden And sharp and crisp, Mid the roll of approaching thunder None of gypsy and all nun. With her gay mood quenched and sooer, Into the mistS when her time IS oone, Wearily creeps October.

 MT. Walter Angle

An open letter to
 MT. Walter Angle
 Dear Buddy, I take the privilege of addressing you as buddy as we were both in the last war, but fall to understand your attitude on the present. international situation and what constitutes the action neces- sary for the genuine defense of the United States of America.
 Ever since your debate with E. J. Ryan of Thomaston at which time you were completely outclassed anc discredite and your theories eX- ploded, you have continued to at tempt to imbue other people with your narrow ideas.
 I know that you will never lose your position on account of the att titude you are taking, out l belong to the class of Americans who have been threatened with less of mine If dared use the privelege of free speech.
 You claim that the Neutrality act was a blunder but I must remind you that it was instituted by MT. Roosevelt and our representatives at time when there was no British propaganda pressure to excite the people to war.
 You claimed that it prevented the loans of money to nations at war and you being in the banking bus mess would naturally object to that You realize that when you assist one side the other side will hate you You also claim that it prevented dis tinction from being made between aggressor and victim-well, Walter you must have flunked in history or you must never have heard of 1re- land, India, South Africa, the American Colonies or any other land possessed by Britain for which not one cent was paid, when England was the aggresSor.
 You claim that ;he LeaSe-Lend Bill allows us to aid our friends but if you have any knowledge oi Communistic Russia and the Con- munist party, then, be honest ano admit that they are no friends ot ours and furthermore, point out just one instance in which Britain has done friendly favor for this country in which they did not gel the better end of hard business bargain. If our country was at wal with all of the countries of South America and Germany was shipping all sorts of aid to them, what would we do? You figure that out, Walter I believe you are afflicted with 6 fobia that George Washington has warned all of Us against when he said, When we nave too much lovs for enc country and too much hate for another country we gre then or the road to war and ruin !"
 We have tried to act according tc international law out iIsternationa law is just what the powerful na- tions decree it shall be.
 We once fought England over Freedom of the Seas and we woulc be justified !n doing 1t again because only recently she stopped our ships took of mail, delayed sailings, tool Of and arrested passengers, arlc even refused to allow our food shipl to bring food to the occupied coun. tries, even connscated concentrates

yitamin tablets that were donated for the children of France and the latest report is that the British Government is selling food to it's citizens and putting the money in the Royal treasury, Food that we gave them under the lease-lend act, and paid for by American taxpayers.
 You think we cannot keep our se- curity if we do not give all aid to Russia and England, you think we will be invaded, but, not one mili- tary expert in this country believes it possible as this theory is advanced only by the arm chair colonels and over age statesmen.
 Both you and MT. Roosevelt dc not know the meaning of pirate stherwise you would nL. accuse the Germans of being such, for accord ing to Webster dictionary. pirate means a robber on the high seas and very recent history shows that Bri- tain has done just ths., wnile Ger many sinks ships carrying articles of war for her enemies.
 would take you on in public de- bate but I think you have made yourself rediculous sufficiently and some day when you are not basking in the radiance of your present com- pany you may again realize what is best for America.
 You claim the neutrality act failed because it was based on injustice and cowardice, but at the time it was passed it was approved by the vast majority of our legislators and the president and it failed because of injustice and cowardice, injustice to the American people who were to be protected by it and the cowardice of President Roosevelt and his new dealocratic advisers, who did not have the courage to tell the Amer ican people the truth.
 MT. Roosevelt certainly does out dictate the dictatorS inasmuch as he copies their tactics for after two terms in office and realizing he has failed, he pulled Hitler, turned to war and a war economy and decided to give us a false prosperity based on taxation at home and destruc- tion abroad.
 MT. Roosevelt knows that this po- Hey will also fail and then we will have depression. repudiation of debts and possible revolution but that will come conveniently in time to be blamed on the next president if we still have elections.

Hope for Poverty Islands

Ever since America acquired the Virgin Islands down in the West Indies, they nave been a headache for Uncle Sam because they have been poverty islands. But now there is hope. The main product of the islands is sugar cane. But sugar from that possession did not come into fhe united States on basis to compete with the homegrown or the Cuba-grown products. Therefore a federally-owned company, to help the natives, made rum nut of the cane juice so as to give the people a cash producer.
 But alcohol is an even better business product. America faces shortage or

earned in 1941 will come to $17,33O. This is based on the safe assumption that Mrs ROose- yelt's income is already in the S75,OOO bracket, and thus the added radio income is taxed at a high rate.
 Formerly, the entire revenue from Mrs. Roosevelt's radio broad casts went to charity. The spon- sor paid the entire amount di- rect to the Friend Service Com mittee and Mrs. Roosevelt never saw the check. But Congressman Ham Fish accused her of evad- ing taxation, and now Mrs. Roose- welt deducts from the income from whatever is necessary to (Continued on Following Page)
