Politics
 in Passing
Ry RAYMOND J.FITzPATR1CK

The more we observe politics the
 more we become convinced that the awesome power attributed to any political organization" is much Dverrated, at least in cases where there isn't an outright steal. While she party in power stays in we are told on all sides how it can't be beaten because 1t has the organ azation": but when, by some mis- chance, 1t loses, the loss is blamed on everything but the organization"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-11-01

So strong has the IeSASn O1 an organization" controlling elections grown that the average voter, on hearing the word, automatically thinks of 8 smOOth-running, we'll oiled machine doing its work cf- fOrtlessly. If he's with the win- ming party he feels that it's 9 triumph of good and careful plan ming; if he's with the loser he planes the loss on the sinister ssrnachine'' of the other side.
 Tn Waterbury, at least, that's just so much pOppycOck. Putting 1t very bluntly, none of the three parties cOntesting the city elec- tion is even halfway really "Or- ganized" using the word in the commonly accepted political sense.

Charge Against Clerk
utterly Ridiculous

"Utterly ridiculous and prepOster-
ouS" was the term applied yesterday
by Representative Hamilton Fish,
Republican, of New York to any
"insinuation" that money used for
sending out material from his Office
came from Nazi or Communist
sources.
George Hill, a member of Repre-
sentative FiSh's clerical staff, was
indicted by the District grand jury
last week on charge Of perjury in
conjunction with its inquiry into
alleged Nazi propaganda activities
The lawmaker indicated Mr.. Hill will
show that the money for sending
out Congressional Record reprints
came not from subverSive sources,
and that official records were kept
for all disbursements and distribu-
tions.
Justice A. Alanz Goldsborough, in
District Court yesterday, gave Mr.
Hill until Thursday next to attack
the legality of the indictment.
Representative Fish's statement
follows:
1T has been my intention not to
make any public statement with re-
gard to charges made against Mr.:
George Hill, clerk in my Office (not
my secretary, as I know that the
facts will be fully presented to the
court by his attorney, Mr. John
O'Connor, at the proper time and
should not be tried in the news
papers.
However, certain false and mis-
leading statements and insinuations
have appeared in the press which
call for an immediate denial. I
understand Mr.. O'Connor, when he
appears before the court next week,
has in mind going into detailed
accounting of the receipts and ex-
penditures made by Mr.. Hill for
sending out congressional speeches,
extracts from the record and COM
mittee hearings. Official records
were kept for all disbursements and
distributions, with no thought or at
tempt at concealment.
The insinuation that any of this
money came from subversive
sources. NaZi, Communist, Fascist,
Japanese or from Hitler's headquar-
ters near Moscow or Stains hide
out on the Volga, is utterly ridicu-
lous and preposterous."

ing self-satisfied. On the contrary
all league officials are. necessarily
striving for more improvement ano
progressiveness.
The pros again will feature a
wide-open game with emphasis or
forward passing. This provides the
most thrills. Growing response to
the pro type of game proves thai
thrills are what the fans most de.
sire. The wisdom of the leagues

The National league is seeking

Unquestionab1y we will reach a
