More And More Of Them

Almost simultaneously comes news or a decrease in gasoline tax receipts and possibility of increased gasoline taxes. The gasoline sale curfew now general along the eastern Seaboard, is to blame. State Solons anticipate a generous de- crease in the gas taxes in the coming year and are preparing to offset it by raising the present rate of taxation. In our own instance we don't know if anything can be done There is little likelihood of the legislature being summoned into special session to raise gas taxes. That would cause too much of Squawk.
 On the other hand it's barely possible that Uncle Sam may have Congress do something about tipping the present federal tax. On the other side of the led ger is a potential loss in revenue by the state of S4 ,OOO OOO That's what officials fear may happen. We're not quite so pessimistic as all that. We think that once people have adjusted their mode of existence to the situation where they can't buy gasoline after P. m. they Will do just as much driving and consequently their cars will consume as much gasoline.
 The threatened loss of revenue in gas taxes would be much more apt to occur if gasoline were rationed along the east ern coast That's what will probably nap pen in another month or so if MT. IckeS and his assistants find that restricted selling hours are having no effect on amount of gasoline consumed. The re- suit of such a program would, Of course, mean serious curtailment ot the SCaCe Highway Departments program for the present biennium It is based on detlnlte income from gasoline taxes and if upset, as Com. William J. Cox pointed out dur ing the legislative session, might push highway construction back several years.

Views Of The Press

During the more or less somber period, in drama and literature, whcih immediately followed the war of twenty five years ago, it became the fashion to regard the last decade of the preceding cen tury as a period of primitive amuse- ment; as part of the Mid Victorian era" But in plain fact the sobriquet applied to that decade, even today, of ."the gay Nineties," the golden Nineties," pictures the period not inaccurately.
 It may be that the very popular productions of Daly's Theater, Wal lacks and the Lyceum would not appeal with equal force to the the- atergoer of today; yet certainly 6 successful piece is not often nowa- days the focus of social conversa- tion as 1t was forty or fifty years ago. Perhaps even the audiences were different; possibly they were less mature. Yet the joyous recollec- tion which even now surrounds reminiscence, not of Weber and Fields" alone, but of Belasco's "Za- ga" and Heart of Maryland 2 Maude Adams's Little Minister 2 Gillette's Secret Service" and Sherlock Holmes" mot to mention score of plays which drew audi- ences for more than a season be. cause the theatergoer wished to be amused, not necessarily instructed
 marks out the period as quite of itself.

OverpIaying The Hand

It has been galling to have to sit back and watch Germany insinuate itself into American countries by means which the United States dislikes to adopt and for which it has small talent. But there IS good hope today that the Germans have badly oVerplayed their hand. The very arrogance and effrontery which served them so we'll up to point is now begin ming to trip them up. Bolivia stood for a lot. But when letters were found from their own military attache in Berlin to the German ambassador at La Paz de- tailing plans for military coup, the Bo- livians called halt, and called it in words of one syllable.
 Next piece of Nazi effrontery was cir cular letter to all Latin American govern ments demanding that they protest against the action of the United States in stopping shipment of American goods to Nazi agents in Latin countries, Such cool crust has seldom been seen in dip lomatic circles = at least not since Berlin was promising Mexico most of the Amerl- can southwest in return for support In the World War. But the Mexicans, who are proud people, know how to answer a request that Berlin dictate its foreign policy. With the smooth and delightful language which has distinguished Mexi- can diplomatic correspondence in late years, Mexico replied to the Germans that she alone lis competent, in absolute fashion, to note on what occasions the liberty of commerce and the sovereignty of Mexico are injured"
 Further, continued this little gem of diplomatic wordage: T can assure your excellency that the road Mexico will take will be that which it esteems most ap- propriate, without the need of receiving or carrying out instructions of other authorities conveyed by any of the ac- credited diplomats in this capital" A few North Americans have been annoyed at times when, in the oil controversy and other matters, Mexico and other Latin American countries have shown quiet determination to go their own way But when that same rugged spirit of indepen- dence shows itself equally determined fO take no back talk from European totali- tarians, we of the United States must feel a little thrill of pride.

Those Negative IceIanders

The Parliament of Iceland (the oldest in the world, having existed continuously for 1000 years) voted 39 to to approve the cooperation of American forces with British to prevent possible seizure of the island by the Nazis. Three Icelanders voted in the negative. They were Com muniStS
 That's odd, since the official Com munist line, now that Russia has been invaded, is Everything to beat Hitler" Now you might have assumed that to pre- vent Hitler from seizing Iceland was help ing to beat him. But not to those Ice landic Comrades. How come? The only way we can explain it is that Iceland is remote, and that telephone and telegraph connections with the Krenlin are not all the Comrades might desire. So there they were, caught hanging to last weeks line instead of this weeks.

No, It Does Not Die

It is 16 months since the people of Norway awoke and found the invader al- ready established in their midst. Are those Morse people broken by Is months of the heavy tread of alien boots in their homeland streets? It would not seem so For all of Norwy is now under stern martial law following demonstration in the town of Aalesund. Aalesund is so situated on the Norwegian Atlantic coast as to be the landing place nearest to Brit ain which is at the same time fartheSt from Germany.
 Evidently the Germans feared what many have expected that the British might begin their offensive by trying to regaiA Norway. So the Germans arrested 10 prominent citizens of Aalesund and Tkl taking them away ss hostages when

the backlog of unfinished planes in July, plus an increase in plant production. But, they admit, their guess may be wrong, as it has been in the past.
 NEGRO HOUSING John Carmody, Federal Works Administrator, took a trip to the Pittsburgh area to meet contrac- tors in defense jobs. While there, he asked McKeesport, Pa., officials to show him the site of the new Negro housing development.
 Bringing out map, they point ed to site on the shores of the Youghiogheny River. It looked very pretty -on the map. But Car nody is a realist. "Take me to the spot" he said; "I want to see it." So they took him to the spot. Where it it?" said Carmody. T don't see it."
 Right here," said the officials. The spot they pointed to was under water. '
 AnCy AASVChcu bO CApAdu. 'sWe're building a dam just a. bove here, and the water will be kept under controI.'
 How long before you build the dam?" said CarmOdy.
 About a year and half."
 Good Lord!' said Carmody. And how much is this land-- if you want to call it land how much it it worth?"
 Five thousand dollars an acre." Carmody turned upon them in amazement. Wash it up!" he exclaimed. "Wash it up, we don't want it."
 And he transferred the Negro housing development to new area of land away from the river.
 NOTE: :--Carmody is taking on increased power with every new defense development. Latest to come under his direction is the $320, 100000 appropriation for im- mediate construction of roads for national defense.

Selected Poem
WHEN THE WIDL ROSE BLOOMS
 ON THE HILLSIDE

ON HE hALk1OADE y Herbert Durren Smart in the Boston Pos In the long ago remember
 The old homestead in the dell; Every dear loved spot vision
 And there in fancy dwell. Still hanging out is the latchstring On the old-time cottage door; And honey -bees are humming
 Round the flowers as of yore. Lazily the smoke oft was coming From the chimney, long ago; The once familiar latchstring
 Outside the door hung low; The step-stone was worn in places By the tread of many feet; And in the chimney -corner
 Was the old familiar seat ". Underneath sky all star-spangled, Is the old homstead tonight, No smoke comes from the chimney, There is nobody in sight. Still hangs on the door the latcnStrlng, Weathered is the old step-stone; And ghostly in the starlight
 Stands the cottage there-alone My hearts in old New Hampshire, Where call the whip-poor Where the sunshine lovingly fingers And glorifies the hills. Voices echo through the valley,
 Where in childhood used to roam; And the wild rose blooms on the hillside, Tn my old New Hampshire home. Nashua, N. H., 1941.

ss There are all sorts of warning and cau- ton signs issued by the State Highway Department and by various cities and towns of the state to guide motorists. Many of these are to protect life and limb from injury. For example we have bad curves and steep hills guarded by warning signs But a new type of sign may have to be invented to warn boats going up and down the Thames River at New London to go slow. Workmen are busily engaged in building new bridge across the river and some of them go by the scene of operations so far that the wash from the boat interferes with work men. A request has been made of all boat owners to go slow at this point m the river.

The wisdom of former Motor Vehicles Commissioner Michael Connor in giving Connecticut motorists semi-permanent type of automobile license plate comes to the fore now. Everywhere states are finding it difficult to secure metal for license plates. Some of them are making it mandatory that when the new 1922 plates are issued, the motorist must re- turn the 1941 markers. It may be that here in Connecticut motorists will have to hold onto their present plates for a few more years or until they are definitely worn out All they will continue to be given will be the year inserts. The or iginal plan was to change the plates, every five years, but if the steel and aluminium shortage continues, there's no telling what plan may have to be followed to in sure every car owner of set of plates.
