H RRAH FOR CARDINAL O'CONNELL AND LINDBERGH! THEY'RE FOR AMERICA
 FIRST, LAST AND ALWAYS
Waterbury, Conn, Feb. 5, 1941.

Waterbury, Conn, Feb. 5, 1941.
 Hurrah! For Cardinal O'Connell and Colonel Lindbergh, two loyal Americans who have the courage to think of this country first, are against war and aren't afraid to say so. Well, bet 90 per cent of us are with them. WE DO NOT WANT WAR. It is disgusting to think that Walter Winchell or Rob- ert Sherwood or some of these Small-souled editors, who, because of their personal hatred of Hitler, or because their real love is the British Empire, or because they want to get rich, or possibly are paid some of that gold that Eng land spends by the million for propaganda in this country, can in- suit man like Colonel Lindbergh, whom I think has more intelligence and loyalty for this country than all of them put together. They seem to forget that he warned the whole world about Hitler's air force in 1888 and all he got was ridicule. Well, I believe he is correct now WIlcl Ilc dQVUCdtcS NcbObAhtCu Peace" It will not only save mile lions of lives in England and Eu- rope but also millions of our own boys. A regime like Hitler's never lasts long anyway and 1t is far bet- ter to be alive than dead. Remem- Der, this 10 per cent minority who yells n-appeasement" the loud- est and who want war the most arc NOT the ones who will do the iights ing. It is we, the great common majority who will become the rot- ting corpses strewn over Europe. Asia and Africa while they stay home and take In the dough, or If any of them really enter the "serv- ice" you can bet it will be a nice safe corner.

 Yes, and did MT. Herbert Smith and a few others resent Colonel Wellington Furlong who spoke at the Women's Club recently? They did. Why? Because the colonel committed the unpardonable sin of thinking of this country first and being 1O0% pro-American. He said that this country should not give away any more ships, should build an adequate defense, especially on the Mexican border and Boring Strait, and no power on earth could invade us, even if England should lose the navy which he does not be- lieve will happen anyway. Of course, Colonel Furlong was in the army only all his life, was on Pershing's staff and was an intelli- gence officer in Europe for this government for over 20 years so I suppose he cannot compare to these birds who tell us how Hitler is go- ing to invade us but who learned their brilliant military strategy out

ARMY MORALS
 Telegrams and letters have been pouring into the War Department and to the Wisconsin senators from wives and mothers of the 32nd Division of the National Guard, about immoral conditions around Camp Beauregard. at Alex andria, La.
 wisconsin troops happen to be involved, and Louisiana happens to be the state complained of. But the situation has brought to a head a problem which exists in other states and with other troops.
 This controversy between Wis consin citizens and the War De-
 partment may become a n2- tional issue as the new selec- tive service army of million men moves into camps all over the country. A similar cOntro- versy already has developed re- garding Jacksonville, Fla, and its neighbOring Camp Banding.
 In the Louisiana situation, Wis consin senators are demanding that the War Department remove three houses of prostitution near Camp Beauregard. But the War Department replies that it has no jurisdiction over the civil com- munity outside camp limits. To this Senator Wiley has replied that the War Department should extend its jurisdiction.
 Meanwhile, officials of Alex andria contend that their town is perfectly moral. War De- partment attitude is that the Army is not charged with moral reform of it's recruits, and that their conduct around 8 camp is likely to follow the same pattern as their conduct at home.
 At the same time, experts of the Morale Division hope to hold men on the reservation. even in their spare time, by well-planned recreation program, and by serv- ing three-point-two beer. Beer of that strength is declared by law to be notwithstanding, and the experts reason that if man can get beer in camp, he is less likely to go to town looking for liquor.
 The War Department also ex- poets that Army life will prove rigorous for men out of civilian life, and there won't be much time or energy for idling.
 McADOO'S DEATH
 One of the last persons to con- fer with ex-Senator McAdoo be- fore he died was Oscar Chapman, assistant secretary of the Interior. During their two-hour luncheon the tall-erect, 77-year old states man appeared to be just as vigor- ous and youthful as ever.
 McAdOO discussed plans for rallying the State of California around Roosevelt, told how he was boOed for the first time in life by the Al Smith delegation at the 1882 Chicago Convention, and how he swung the California delegation to Roosevelt. thus stampeding his nomination.
 McAdoo also told how he had been elected to the U. s. Senate from California despite the criti- cism that he was a "carpet-bag- ger" This criticism he obviated by telling how his father had gone down from the Tennessee moun- tains on a raft via the Ohio and Mississippi and fought in General Scott's army in the Southwest. It was this army which helped lib. crate Texas and California. and therefore McAdoo pointed out that

Another COP leader on the dotted line for 8 book is Bruce Barton, who before he entered politics was best known as the author of "The Man Nobody Knows" :. .

Fellows, mild- hammered chief engineer. will succeed the late Col. "Pinky" Harrington as WPA boss. Har- rington also was elevater from the chief engineers post, but Fellows is not an Army man.

if there weren't, 1t would still be possible for 8 tourist from the prov inceS or a business man here to gel @ war contract or a job to take in all Washington's important high life In one night, not miss a trick and not see enough celebrities to count on his thumbs. Point is that Wash ington is strictly a private party town.
 You have to belong or be specially invited to get into Chevy Chase Army and Navy or any of the swank clubs. Aside from that, the height of entertainment seems to be to give or get given dinner at home It's perhaps the dinner goingest town on earth, the entertainment being talk Or be talked at, for a purpose or perhaps sometimes fol no good purpose. CongresSmen having seen each other all week, ad nauseam, crawl into their shells Dollar-a-year men fly home to their families.
 SIMPLEST EVENING
 JUST EAT TOO MUCH
 So, being cut of from the riff-raff of the upper crust and being on the town, you proceed as follows on either of two courses:
 A-1f your idea of fun is to eat too much good food, you go to either Harvey's, uptown, or Ho- gates, down on the river front, and stuff. You are thereby pleasantly and painlessly incapacitated, so you go to bed and sleep till noon like the good citizen that you are.
 B-You have afternoon cocktails In the Willard or that vicinity. There will be time, before dressing, for a couple of quick ones in the Halnil- ton Rainbow room and the Anbas- sador Hi-Hat lounge, catti-cornered at 14th and K on what has unoff- cially and accidentally become Washington's blind-date rendezvous, to put it prettily.
 Into your dinner clothes black tie, remember-and you're of at 7:30 for pre-dinner appetizers in the Cosmos room at the Carlton, currently supposed to be the No. spot for everybody who is anybody, but which is so Subdued in its light ing that nobody could be recognized even if there.
 LEscargot, serving French food, is the chic place to eat. You can dance there in the Sale Versailles, or walk across the street to the Mayfiower hotel, big and noisy, with 8 one-buck cover charge and drinks at the same price, each.
 ONE ORCHID, ONE
 UNIFORM AT SHOREHAM Inevitably you wind up at the Shoreham Blue room. Covers for 100. Tables on terraces. Orchestra on a stage Dance floor big enough for POO. Floor show. Nice crowd nice people.
 Who are they?
 Nobody whose picture you've ever seen in the papers. Only one uni- form, on a prep school cadet. Only one orchid, on gal in 8 gray street suit. Plenty of decollete, though the fashion books said that because of the war this was to be "cover-up" season-long gloves, and all that, to go with the black ties.
 The pay of comes when the M. c. directs the orchestra to play the first bars of Happy Birthday to You" six times, and the Lohengrin wedding march twice. Here are the people who live in Washington, out for an annual Saturday night binge, in nice polite way. The floor show sopranos numbers that this crowd appluded most were T Want a Girl Just Like the Girl That Married Dear Old Dad" and My Wild Irish Rose" I have witnesses.

Buildings at the Norwich State Hos pital in the future are being designated by proper names instead of numbers or commonplace terms. Names of men or women who have contributed to the his tory of psychiatric medicine are to be honored. Also three structures at the institution have been given names of former members of the board of trustees. Notable among these is the Seymour building, named to commemorate the late Judge Origen s. Seymour of Litchfield, who served on the board for many years. The Lippitt Building is in remembrance of Costello Lippitt, who was chairman of the first board of trustees after the hos pital was established. The custom seems a praiseworthy one.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-02-06

The royal line of succession in the house of Connecticut governors has rarely been questioned in the past history of the state, but legislators for many years past now have been trying to establish an order of succession, in the event of death, resigna- tion or some untoward circumstance. House Majority Leader William L. Had den of Orange now has resolution in the General Assembly calling for constitu- tional provision for the same. But this provision does not set up an order Of succession like we have for the presidency. After a governor dies the lieutenant governor would succeed. It's up to the General Assembly then to determine who shall act as governor or in what manner a successor shall be selected. Had we followed federal custom we might have established line starting with governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, treasurer, comptroller, attorney-general
 But evidently it isn't the purpose Of the legislators to put too many notions into the heads of our state government about succession to the governorshlp.

Flank Attacks on Pocketbook

These are hard and trying times for the patient American taxpayer. That ad- mirable citizen realizes there are certain city, state and national expenses that must be incurred. He knows the bulk of the money for these necessary things must be raised by taxation in some form or other But what he objects to = and rightly so - are the often concealed flank attacks upon his thinning pocket book, the niggling assaults embodied In or reason.
 The National Consumers Tax Commis- sion, Inc, estimates that the 43 state legislatures, which meet next year, will consider more than 60,000 bills, of which 11,OOO will be tax measures. The con- mission predicts that, if the solonS run true to form, they will enact 1900 of the latter, or an average of about 42 per state It would seem good moment to call for moratorium on most of these.
