Look to Volunteers
For Civil Defense

Washington, d. c. To the Ques-
ton, what can T. do tor America"
the Red Cross is providing an answer
Cor hundreds of thousands Of men and
women who want to do their part on
the civilian defense front. =:
For women, the Red Cross Is pro-
viding an s0-hour training course to
recruit corps Of 100000 Nurses
Aides. 1t is the Red Cross, newest
project, undertaken at the request of
the U. S. Office Of Civilian Defense to
relieve the current pressure on nurs-
ing facilities.
With thousands Of nurses being
taken into military service with our
armed forces, civilian nursing has suf-
fered dirgI blow. the Red Cross
points out. Moreover, the defense pro-
gram has created additional health
problems which has heightened the
need for civilian nursing.
Red Cross Nurses Aides will serve
as assistants to registered nurses, per-
forming scores Of important duties
which will enable nurses to care for
more cases. The Red Cross stresses
that Nurses Aides will not take the
place Of the registered nurse, but WIN
serve in an auxiliary capacity.
On the more dramatic side Of civilian
defense, the Red Cross is gearing It's
far-fung disaster fighting machine to
handle mass feeding, housing and
clothing of exacuees under wartime
conditions. In cooperation with the
Office Of Civilian Defense, chapters
nre Strengthening disaster relief com.
mittees to cope with man-made disas-
ter much on the same scale as relief
operations following natural catastro-
phe. Organization along these lines
include preparedness measures for
fires, explosions and epidemics which
may be expected to result from accsl-
Grated industrial activity incident to
national defense or sabotage.
Strictly as a precautionary measure,
the Red Cross Is devising means of
confronting emergency relief in the
event Of sporadic air or sea attacks,
considered conceivable hazards in
some coastal and boundary areas.
The need for First Aid in civilian
defense has not been neglected by the
Red Cross. Last year nearly 100000
were trained In emergency treatment
OF the injured. This year the figure
is expected to go much higher with
special emphasis being placed on the
formation of detachments. which would
serve as units in factories, office, build.
ings, schools and other places where
persons are concentrated. -
Red Cross courses in Home Nursing
end in Nutrition also are being ex.
banded az feature Of the civilian
defense program, 1t was pointed out
Mounting health hazards and the short
age of civilian nurses may at any time
obligate the housswife--or even the
man Of the house-to assist in caTln &
Tor the sick. Likewise. the Red Cross
is placing greater emphasis ON Nutri-
ton courses designed to teach house
holders the art OF purchasing ana pre-.
pairing weil-balanced meals within the
range OF the family pocketbook.

Office Building Income
Drops IS Per Cent

Annual income of the average Of
fee building in the last 10 years
has declined nearly three times as
much as has been the decrease in
operating costs. data compiled by
the Mortgage Bankers Association OF
America shows. Annual income OF
the average building during this
period is reported to have declined
IS per cent while operating costs
have only shrunk about 13h per
cent.
However, according TO Dean r.
Hill, association president, the in
vestment future Of ONCE buildings
looks brighter today an 1t has in
Is years. In many l-ge American
cities considerable surplus space has
been eliminated through the demoli-
ton OF older structures to make way
for smaller taxpayer" units or for
converting the land into parking

Army Grows In Power

General George C. Marshall Chief of Staff of the
United States Army, says I'VE try to retain sense
of humor" but admits "that it is difficult to accept
gracefully" comments indicating that the nation is
building manpower Army on an outmoded pattern"
He calls attention to the maneuvers in California
the largest in our peacetime history. Other large
units are being assembled for special training and the
General insists the soldiers of today have devoted only
twenty out of 572 hours of training to close order drill
The training program is developing soldiers and lead
ers and when industry catches up with the production
of modern weapons the Army will be ready to man
them.
Meanwhile, the War Department announces that
for the first time in American history. "a fulstrength
panzer division of American troops will take the field
for full combat maneuvers in Tennessee, beginning
June 16 The Second Armored Division trained at Fort
Benton, in Georgia will have 1000 men, with mechan-
lied equipment including than 1000 vehicles,
ranging from medium and light tanks to motorcycles.
General Marshall points out that ground forces
consist of twentyseven infantry divisions, four
armored divisions, two and half cavalry divisions
and five general headquarters tank battalions. Ten
tank battalions are being activated, and
four more armored divisions planned, two in the
fall and two later on.

ports that only one per cent of

Court Reverses Itself

Twenty years ago, the United States Supreme Court
refused to sustain the conviction of Truman H. New
berry for irregularities in his senatorial campaign the
Court holding ivetofour that Congress poweress
to interfere with primaries.
Justice McReynOlds, who wrote the opinion, filed
May 2 1921, held that primaries in cleo
lions for Office but merely methods by which party
adherents agree upon the candidates they intend to
offer and support for ultimate choice by qualified
electors"
Court in decision written by Justice Stone said that
the Constitution (Sections and of Article u ''re-
QuireS to hold that primary election which involves
necessary step in the choice of candidates for cleo
ton of representatives in Congress and which, in the
circumstances of this case, controls that choice,
election within the meaning of the Constitutional pro-
vision and is subject to congressional regulations to
the manner of holding it,
Chief Justice Hughes did not participate in the
Court decision, because counsel for Senator New
berry, he argued his case before the Supreme Court
in 1921. Justices Black and Murphy conceded congress
sional rights to deal with primaries but declared that
Congress- through the years., had refused to ntrude
in this field, and Justice Douglas asserted that ths
Court is legislatng"
because of its Importance although election procedure
experts view the decision very vital one, but to
demonstrate the working of the American system.
The Supreme Court, representing the judicial branch
of the Government, plays its part in the life of the
nation and in the present instance at time
its position
Twenty years ago the Supreme Court said, "Pr-
mares in elections for an office" but in
1941, the Supreme Court says, "A primary election
is an election subject to congressional regulation"
Such changes in the judicial interpretations of the
Constitution and statutes inevitable and represent
of the necessary shifting which makes the frame
work of democracy fit existing conditions

Excellent Showing

Pardonable pride may be exhibited for some time to come by the adminlstra- ton of Mayor Vincent Scully on the very excellent financial report on operations of the government during the fiscal year, 194O. For some time past city officials have known that there would be size able surplus. The last figure that was arrived at, before the city officially closed it's books for 194O, though, was slightly over $300,000 and this figure was up the 1941 budget.
 But addition of $101, ,000 more surplus is enough to win the plaudits of all those who are concerned with the conduct of our city government. From Mayor Scully down every city official may well feel extremely proud of his part in achieving such an exceptionally good record. AS Mayor Scully himself says the taxpayers should first be thanked, for it was their cooperation which made it possible for revenue to exceed so far the estimates set up year ago.
 But vigilance and economies through out the various departments also played an important part in achieving the $417,000 surplus. That is something for the individual department head and his aides to be proud of. It only goes to prove the claims advanced year ago that economy can go hand in hand with service in Waterbury and nothing lost thereby In the first year of the Scully administration the best record of many years standing has been made It is only the beginning Of similar performances.
