Muttering in their boards will be a favorite pastime with some of our Sunday < drivers this weekend when they learn that the new section of the Wilbur l.. Cross Parkway, extending from the Housatonic River bridge to Derby Avenue in Orange, won't be available to them to- morrow. Its availability is just today. And this after editors galore had eXtolled to the skies the fact that the first part of this parkway route was finally ready for public use.
 It was just a mistake, say the officials at Hartford. The road can only be used today when traffic is expected to be very heavy in and around the Yale Bowl, where Yale is playing host to the Army foothall eleven When this sporadic furry has subsided the road will agaln he bl1cked off and work continued along if The inference, though, is that the route will not be made generally avail able until mid-winter or later. Mentlon is made of the fact that it may be openeo for other Saturday football croWos'

Special Elections

While it is advisable that prompt action be taken to see that all congress ional places are filled at such cruclal time in our nations history as the pres ent one. we do think that Governor Noo- ert A. Hurley should move delloerately III determining a date for special electlon in the Fifth Congressional Dlstrlct. Al1 the first place the present lncumOehI' Representative J. Joseph Smith, has not resigned his office for the very good req son that the Senate has not ratlfleo HIS annointment There's no doubt of sucn favorable action on the Presidents nom ination. but Judgment and other consio- erations direct that until such time as the district office is vacated nothing be oone other than to study the situation very seriously. ,a4
 Tnasmuch as Waterbury is the largest community in the Fifth Congresslonal District and it is rapidly approaching municipal election it's participation III any special election should be given con sideration. It would be confusing, to saw the least, to endeavor to hold the spe- cisl election on the date of or close 10 our citv election. Of course election laws wouldn't give political partles or caliai. dates time enough now to be ready TOT a November polling. But a special eiec- lion even within week or two or NC vernber 4 would impose quite a task OH this citys election officials It IS no easy task to set up election machinery anu whether one or dozen candidates are to be voted for, the same process and the same tasks are obligatory. The major lI political parties would also be plunged Into a duplication of their present ei- forts. While this may seem a seli1sn attitude on Waterburys part, remem.- Der 1t is but an opinion and not report of official feelings. We voice it for what ft may be worth and with the hope that elsewhere throughout the district, when the great sense of loss that Representa- tive Smiths resignation will cause has been lessened, it may be viewed sympa- thetically.

been tremendously improved. Hundreds of thousands of new cars have been ordered, and hundreds of thousands more will be ordered in the future. The railroads pledged themselves to expand well ahead of demand. They are fulfilling that pledge to the letter.
 But the quantity and quality of equip ment dosen't tell the whole story. The so-called failure of railroad service in the last war was, in reality, failure on the part of shippers and receivers of freight to load and unload it promptly. So thou sands of cars sat about for days and weeks and months, in yards. They were used as warehouses.
 Railroad management remembered that = and 1t got together with repre- sentatives of shippers. Plans were made, polished, perfected. Today cars are load ed and unloaded swiftly, and sent on their way to do another job. Shipper and railroad cooperation has made another transportation experience such as that of World War I, next to impossible. As Nations Business says, "Our transporta- ton plants has no rivals in extent, capac- ity, variety, flexibility." It's doing the biggest job in it's history = and it's do- ing it right on schedule.

Knowledge, Power, Victory

Down in that far corner of the world that lies between India and the Medi- terranean, between the Caspian and Arabian Seas, the winning of World War IT may be at stake. Most Americans know next to nothing of these lands, which were the cradles of civilized man. Now they may be his bier. But in Bri- tain they know about these far places. Stuffed away on the shelves of the stuff fer London clubs are the forgotten books written by travellers of' this restless race: "Six Months With the Djhigur of Brandee" or "Tenting in Tabriz With the Sheik Hadji Dinar"
 We laughed at those ponderous travel books when they penetrated to America. But now it is shown that perhaps they were not so vain; their writers were ex- ploring the odd corners of the world III which World War II may now go to de- cision. The better ones, like Doughty ana Lawrence and Bell, amassed knowledge now being translated by the British army into terms of power, perhaps into ulti- mate victory.

Right On Schedule

Nations Business recently published 4an exhaustive report' on the nations Transportation facilities. That report thoroughly blasts any and all fears the country may have that it's transportation systems are likely to 'break down" and sproduce congestion, delay, waste, and industrial chaos. The backbone Of American transportation is the railroad train. Other carriers perform highly val uable supplemental services. But it is the iron horse and the cars it pulls which must carry the bulk of our freight - and practically all of the heavy freight.
 It can be said without qualification that the American railroad plant is unsur- passed on earth. That is the result of twenty years of preparation for precisely the kind of emergency we are grappling with today. The modern railroad car carries far more freight than its predeces- Dor of even a few years back The modern locomotive runs far faster Roadbeds, signal systems, and everything elst that has to do with railroad operation, have

 We appear to be living in world in which men have forgotten the key. Armies are marching across the world. Men are lunging at each other,se throat. What for? Because men have forgotten the key to real living. Hundreds of businessmen are dying before their allotted span of years. They intended in just a little while to retire and enjoy life, but in the meantime they kept their noses to the grindstone, working day and night. They forgot the key.
 People grow rich and neglect love and friendship. Of what use is their wealth when they have for. gotten the key? The Greek word Tor inherit" comes from Q word which means keys. Everything comes to those who, as they climb upward, are very sure that they have o key which will make the climb worth the effort when they get 70 the top. Otherwise, life Is e sad story.

The State of New York hasn't been needlessly worried over the fact that :s on Monday Rockland County, through its treasurer, Gilbert H. Crawford, expects to sell the Bear Mountain Bridge to the highest bidder. Rockland County claims there are unpaid taxes of $16,37O.16 out standing against the bridge. However, no one seems to know exactly just what taxes these are or whether they might be properly assessed against the former owners of the bridge, the private corpora ton which maintained 1t for so many years before selling out year ago to the State of New York. Incidentally If the county did try to sell the bridge dt' could only offer for sale part of it as only the anchors and approach from the Bear Mountain side lie in Rockland County. The other side of the river is a different county and, of course, the middle section spans the Hudson River which probanly would be considered state and not county property. It will be enlightening to see whether or not the bridge goes under the hammer Monday.

The State of Connecticut has finally succumbed to pressure or petitions for plans are now afoot to make several picnic areas adjacent to the Merritt Parkway in Fairfield County. Their development will be postponed until next summer, but it is very definite for that time, according to State Highway Com missioner William J. Cox. One picnic area will be in Trumbull on the south side of the parkway and the other will be in Stamford. So long as these areas are sui ficiently large to permit ample parking and are not right along the shoulders or the highway there should be little cause for complaint. But there should be close surveillance to prevent picnicking at any other points than the selected ones.

 Then came the deportation de- cision, followed by an official Commy blast scorching Bridges pants for temporizing on the foreign issue. One or both of these blows apparently brought him around and, cutting his close ties with Lewis, Bridges scran- bled aboard the party line wagon.
 Tn his speech Bridges not only came out Tor full aid to Britain and maximum defense production but even said that he and other leftwing instigators of the North American Aviation strike might have been mistaken in their tac- tics.
 "There Is no question: he declared, "that all concerned did not have the proper perspective and realization of the necessity of utilizing to the utmost the machinery of the established government agencies to secure the demands of the workers"

HARRY M. DAUGHERTY
(Hartford Courant)

N61dI It1O10 OVd4 uAAsJ
 The last years of his life Harry M. Daugherty spent largely in seeking to clear his reputation of the mary charges laid against 1t during the brief years when he was national political figure. Few will care now to go into all the details of the scandals that hesmirched the admin iStration of Warren c. Harding, whom he served as attorney general of the United States. Most of the individuals concerned are now dead, and the rest are living in the same obscurity that has virtually con- cealed Harry Daugherty these last twenty years. Teapot Dome is Serv- ing its proper function as 8 naval oil reserve, and the nation has vigor- ously survived an era of corruption that saw cabinet officers go to jail, government business transacted in gambling hide-outs and public serv- ice made an opportunity for private gain.
 Yet the lessons they learned ought not to be forgotten. Harry Daugh- erty was enabled to put himself and his friends into positions of vast power largely because the people of the nation, having been raised to a high pitch of sacriflcial idealsina, permitted themselves to go on bust of responsibility. MT. Daugherty did not create the mood, but he did take advantage of it. At the present moment the people of the United States are making another vast na- tional effort that is burdening their pocketbooks, straining their nerves, drawing on their emotions. The ef- fort cannot be halted without com- plete and unprecedented reversal of national policy, but thought can be given as to the manner in which 1t can finally be terminated without the

MT. Hoover doubtless believes this. But it also happens that one of his principal European as- sistants, from whom MT. Hoover obtained much of the information on which he based his feed-Eu- rope campaign last winter, was on most cordial terms with high Nazi officials.
 This man was John Hartigan, representative of the Hoover re- lief organization in Germany. Hartigan was famous among the American coldny in Berlin for several things.
 One was his hats. He had 12 of them, of four different styles and three Of each style. Hartt- gan would explain to callers that he bought his hats in Bond street and got a new one every time he visited London. All the hats were kept on display on a large table i'm the ante-r0Om of Hartigan's elaborate suite in the Adlon hotel, the most fashionable in Berlin. Hartigan never failed to tell call- CTS about the hats. Tn fact, he sometimes invited guests especially to come up to see the unique col- lection.
 Hartigan also was noted for his piano playing. He had a fine piano moved into his suite and he liked to invite guests to hear him.
 Among the walters of the Adlon, Hartigan also had a special repu- tation. To them he was known for his remarkable breakfast ap- petite. They were much impressed by the fact that he often ordered two whole breakfasts.

Selected Poem
A DEEPER GRAVE.

A DEEFEH GOAVGs acob Levin in the New York T1mes) And know unearthly fright, I dig my shallow grave I sit alone and rave Upon the coming night. I do not light the fire I used to light in vain, I know it would expire Beneath the coming rain. I wait for wind and storm To fall before my face, And angry shades to swarm Through intervening space. At last the night is gone, The sun is sorely bred. Beneath a broken dawn A thousand men are dead; And alone remain, A coward for the brave, To bend and dig again- A wider, deeper grave.

 o. What is the purpose ot streamlining automobiles?
 A. To decrease air resistance, which varies approximately as the square of the speed. If a car dou. bies its speed, the air resistance will become four times as great. At very high speeds, the loss of available horsepower may be considerable. Tn a moving vehicle, air resistance IS produced by three means: Q air pressure built LID in front of tl.e vehicle; (2) air "skin friction" along the sides, top and bottom of the vehicle; (3) drag" resulting rom the vacuum at the rear of the veni- cle owing to the turbulence or ed dies of the air current. The greatest possibilities in reducing air resist ance by streamlining are: first, re- duction of the drag" and second, reduction of the air pressure at the front. Very little has been accomp- lished toward reduction of skin friction"
