And what has that loss meant to today's world?
 Because all those things are so intan- gible, nobody can measure them; because they pertain to the spirit no one will ever know, perhaps, their accurate weight. How many children of Nthe generation which grew up directly after the World War bear today the marks of the insuffi- cient nourishment, the tense, hopeless times in which they lived? Never forget that that is the generation, in large part, which made up the Nazi movement. All these factors no man has measured, be- cause, perhaps, they cannot be measured. Yet one knows they exist. The social loss is undoubtedly greater than a similar loss throughout a cross-section of the whole population, because soldiers are selected for physical and mental fitness.
 Now it is all happening over again. Though almost as many civilians as sol diers are being killed in this war, the destructive effect on the coming genera tion will not be less than that of the World War if it goes on as long. Already in France relief workers and physicians are reporting that babies born are markedly undersize, weighing only two and three pounds at birth. Why? Because their mothers are undernourished. People recently come from France report that they dare not look into the faces of children. If that be true in France, what must be true in Poland? In Belgium? In Greece? In Jugoslavia?
 What will the next generation be in Germany and Italy, decimated by series of bloody and useless campaigns, "edu- cated" in mental straitjacket, fed from babyhood on diet of blood-lust and a-morality. Isn't it about time to stop all this once and for all? First, by con- clusively beating those who have espoused all of it as a normal, desirable way of life, and forced it on the rest of the world? Second by taking our part in organizing the world so that it shall not happen again?

Vigilance Required

The report of the office of the Fire
 Marshal last night that 43 false alarms
 have been registered here in Waterbury
 since the first of the year is one to cause any responsible citizen to show concern. After all, if we want an efficient fire fighting force in the city we want to eliminate all such things as false alarms which are not only expensive and morale breaking, but are potential cause of serious accidents. Every one of us should be on the alert to prevent false alarms and to see that those responsible for them are arrested.
 Every community is bothered from time ! to time with an outbreak of false alarms, but there seems to be regularity to them now in Waterbury. Every month since January has witnessed number of such registered at headquarters with April leading the list with IA. The people who
 are responsible for these alarms, of course, don't realize that every time a piece of fire apparatus is called out it means added expense for the taxpayers. If lives Ire saved or property preserved from damage we count it not an expense but m asset But if the trip just consists . of cruising around a neighborhood look ng for blaze, well, that's where the city
 and everyone of us loses.
 But even more than this is the con- tinual danger of some sort of an accident. Fire engines responding to any call must use every means to get to the scene as rapidly as possible. That's where the element of risk enters. It's there whether the call be a real or false one, but in the latter instance any accident would seem all so fruitless and so unnecessary. We urge the citizens of the city to cooperate with the proper authorities in wiping but this epidemic of false alarms and in seeing that the guilty parties are arrested and punished.

Bearing Down Already

!, The new Public Utilities Commission, new, in that it's membership has under 7 gone changes as result of appoint
 ments earlier this year, is already show ling some signs of unrest It has sum- 7 moned into session public water con- pany and is barring facts, in connection ! with the hearing, which certainly are !, no credit to the utility, if they stand up under pressure, and shows that the oft , heard claims of too much leniency by { the PUG. may have been founded on , fact
 There have been rumblings in the Dem- ocratic Party of recent years with regard ' to giving the Public Utilities Commission ' the necessary power and energy with which to prosecute instances where it
 was believed or feared the general public
 was not being treated fairly. All sorts of , charges have been preferred against var
 ious utilities. And there has been, with
 out doubt, a very serious attempt on the
 part of the commission to fulfill its
 obligations to all concerned.
 But just this one instance of the ! Cromwell Water Company shows wherein , have been weaknesses in the commission.
 In 1884, or seven years ago. the company
 was ordered to improve the purity of its

O'Connell of Bristol and Pro- { lessor Clyde Fisher of Wesleyan Uni Yersity, however, seem determined to . make commission rules binding on those concerned Which after all is said and done should be the situation. The Pub lie Utilities Commission is an important ! arm of our state government. If it can't control those groups over which it is sup posed to have jurisdiction then it should
 be abolished. We're inclined to think, though, that the next year or so may find this commission putting people right pm what's what in the field of public utilities.

Shadows Against the Future

One of the questions which ought to be
 carefully studied, and which, so far as NC know, has never been carefully stud led, is the effect of wars on the next gen. sration. For instance, to what extent are Europe's troubles today due to the fact :hat the best, healthiest, potentially most able of the generation now mature were killed off in 1914-1D18? How many wise statesmen, how many poets and artists, how many economic and social pioneers, what sheer weight of human brains were dumped into the graves that blossomed from plcardy to Klev in those years2

powerful influence to bring the AFL and CIO together.
 ''I will bring peace to labor"
 he rumbled, when it suits my purpose to have peace"
 Privately, AFL leaders make no bones that they are very leery of a John L. Lewis festooned with olive branches. They don't trust him and want no part of him in any guise.
 Known facts about the Lewis Hutchinson get-together are the following:
 Big Bill" made the first over ture in a telegram congratulating Lewis on his radio broadcast bolt ing to wendell Willkie. Before that, for six years, they had been bitter enemies, although once close AFL and COP pals, As late as 1882, Lewis and Hutchinson went down the line together for Hoover against Roosevelt.
 The MIRA, with it's famed Sec- tion "a, rescued the United Mine Workers from the scrap heap, switched Lewis to the New Deal. Turning on his old AFL buddies, and after swapping blows with Hutchinson at the Atlantic City convention, Lewis set up the CIO with the backing of Sidney Hill- man and his independent Amal- gamated Clothing Workers. Rag ing with vengeance, Hutchinson led the movement that expelled Lewis from the AFL as wrecker.
 For six years their feud famed. In 1886, Lewis went all-Out for Roosevelt, and Hut chinson did the same for Lan- don as chairman of the COP Labor Campaign Committee. Then in 1940, they suddenly became friends again through their common hatred of ROose- welt.
 Lewis answered Hutchinson's telegram with cordial letter. This was followed several months later by a secret meeting in New York. They have had at least one other. more recently.
 It is definitely known that at this meeting the reunited pals exchanged notes on their common hatred, "that man in the White House." and also discussed AFL- CIO peace.
 NOTE: It has not yet been an- nounced, but the CIO convention will be, held In October In either Detroit or Cleveland. With Phil Murray in a hospital recuperating from heart attack, and barred by his doctors from any activity for several months, Lewis pal ace guard" has quietly started rigging the machinery to ensure his control of the convention.

Well, the Republicans have had their way in Massachusetts. The state has been redistricted and the new congress sional lines are those that COP legisla- tors called for. Under the recent census figures the state lost one representative in Congress so it was necessary to shift the lines around a bit to get rid of an existing district. The resulting furore was heard away down here in Connecti- cut for Democrats were overcome but not speeches. when it was revealed that the district to go would be solidly- Demo- cratic one Despite all protests the dis trlct has been wiped out of existence, for Governor Leverett Saltonstall has signed the redistricting bill and it's now law. Next year when national elections are held Massachusetts voters will have to get used to few changes when they cast a ballot for the congressional candidate they favor.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-07-31

This situation in Massachusetts is naturally an unfortunate one, but one that is hard to avoid. It's bound, to occur in any state where there is an ad vantage in the legislative body. In the Bay States it so happened that the Re- publicans were in control so tiiey natur- ally favored the redistricting plan that gave them any advantage. As Governor partisanship is so directly involved it is inevitable that everyone cannot be satis- fed" If the Democrats controlled Mas sachusetts they would have shifted the lines to favor their candidates. Maybe it's a good thing that Connecticut has thus far avoided redistricting row.

Selected Poen,
w1LFR1D's POOL

Peter J. Henniker Heaton In The Christian
 Science Monitor) This is the pool, the tiny sea,
 set on the hill where beeches grow, to match with simple brevity
 the rivers spacious curve below. The grass runs down on either hand, rock-fowers in cordon hold the brink, and here the thirsty pigeons land,
 the jay and pellowhammer drink. Steel-blue and tawny through the trees the nuthatch taps its ancient code, and cars that pass like distant bees acknowledge from the quiet road. At dawn from bright unnumbered threats the keen and lovely chorus swells, the blackbird's armor- piercing notes, the thrush's ordered chime of bells And here to watch the nipples pass, to gaze on marvels daily seen since first she tumbled on the grass, comes Sue, the gentle Aberdeen. From basins in the concrete bed
 grow lifted lilies, white and pink, and now beside their blooms is shed the small reflection, black as ink. Above, the Peacock fiickers by,
 the Burnets to the scabious throng, the sun with great gold single eye watches their movement all day long. Rnd when on spires of mullein tall
 the purple centers blaze and burn, here cool refreshment waits for all. and bird and dog may drink in turn.

 There is nothing much at Mid dleton except coupe of freight cards, a few houses and a station sign. It is typical country cross road flag stop.
 Yet suddenly, out of the flat Iowa prairies new industry has come to Middleton, an industry as foreign to the corn belt as the philosophy of Henry Wallace is to war.
 All of which is indicative of what is going on both in the heart of the Middle West and in the heart of Henry Wallace.
 In the last war, munitions plants hugged the Atlantic set- board. A few cities away from the coast, Pittsburgh, Detroit and Chicago, got Sprinkling of munitions orders, but no one ever dreamed of locating defense factories in Omaha, Tulsa, or Ft. Worth.
 But now the USA is con- fr0nted with bombing planes capable of flying 5000, even 1000 miles, and so the Middle West has become like the UraI Mountains of Russia, and every one knows that the more muni- tions plants Stalin has placed behind the Urals, the better are RuSSia'S chances.
 Just as great changes have talk en place in the strategic location of munitions plants, so great changes have taken place in the mind of Henry Wallace. War, even national defense, always has been anathema to him. He could see no reason for building an army and navy, regarded them as des- tructive institutions.
 Then last winter he went to Mexico, and came back changed man. The United States, he be- gan to feel for perhaps the first time, could be in real danger of invasion. The Middle West no longer was made impregnable by geographic luck. An invasion by air from South America, via Mex ico, was by no means an irnpos- sibility.

PEOPLE ENJOYING BOOM" DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS
 AHEAD OF THEM.

Berlin, Conn.
 July 27. 1s41. Editor of the Democrat:
 According to press reports, Mir. Roosevelt seems to feel that the people of the U. s. are not fully aware of the International situa- ton and how grave this is in re- spect to the position of the United States.
 It Is not hard to understand this situation in view of the fact that the people are now enjoying 8 boom" period which is caused by the world conflict and the manufac- ture of war equipment. Money is freely spent and the people are buy- ing cars, homes and other things which they feel will add more corn- forts to life and the thought of what might be ahead seems too far distant to even think of. To remind them Of what might follow is too disturbing for most people.

The more perfect the insulation, the greater will be the energy trans mitted.
 Spiritual power comes from God, and is transmitted through us as cables. In this case we can assume the generator Is all right Plenty of power is generated at the source. But so many of us, because of our bad habits. or lack Of faith, or dis couragement, or, lack of self-control, are mighty poor transmission cables. We do not insulate our selves against the weakness and vice of the world, and because Of this we lose spiritual power. We associate with worldly people. we cherish sordid ambitions, we pur- sue unrlghteons ends. We do not have the power which men had in the early Christian church because our insulation against the world and its ways has worn thin"
 God will take care og tho power. What we need te do Is to see that the transmission wires are An good condition, and above Ali that the insulation Is eaalsfact0Fk

Read the 24th chapter of Matthew and note what Jesus said about the present day The people would be doing the same things that they were doing in Noah's day, building houses, eating and drinking, marrying and carry- ing on without any thought of what was ahead.

 It is also written in Proverbs 29:2, When the righteous are in author ity the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people mourn" Therefore 1t follows that the people have choice of following rulers who persist in wicked course of disobedience to Gods laws or tak- ing sides with God and Christ Jesus

It has long been claimed in this state that the reason we have not created six congressional districts is the fear that the states population may drop and this bring about loss of one seat in the House. But actually the reason for not redistrict- ing is the inability of party leaders and state officials to agree on plan which would be non-partisan and not throw any advantages to either the Democrats or Republicans

 FDR AND PAPPY
 | The hairbreadth victory of Governor Lee C"Pass the biscuits, Pappy'') O'Daniel in the Texas senatorial election was a tough blow to President. Roosevelt. who openly espoused his young Con- gressional lieutenant, 32.year- odl Lyndon Johnson.
 It also was a tough blow to el- oquent Senator Tom Connally, who, while publicly protesting his neutrality, was plugging for At- torney General Gerald Mann of Texas, No. 3 man in the race.
 With the race over, the Presi- dent is resigned to O,Daniel's election, but Connally is still a bit miffed by the failure of his can- didate. He voiced this disappoint- n1ent when he accompanied a group of congressional leaders to the White House for 8 legislative conference. Spotting Connally, the President inquired cheerily.
 "Tom, when is Pappy coming to town? Pm anxious to get . look at his band"
 ConnaAy cogitated for a mo- ment, then shot back with grin:
 'I don't know, but I do know if you hadn't butted into the election, he wouldn't be coming to town at all"

 There is one matter that is not on the agenda of the AFL build ing trades executive council meet ing in Chicago this week. but about which labor chiefs are very curious, and will ask 8 lot of questions.
 This is the sensational inside word that William C"Big Bill") Hutchinson, boss of the carpen- ters, has been secretly pow-powing with the man with whom he once slugged in spectacular Atlantic City fist fight-Jonn L. Lewis.
 Just why Lewis. and Hutchin- son have put their heads together is a mystery. But strongly sus- pected is a Lewis scheme to spring a surprise peace" move with the AFL. TT ~~
 The AFLers are for peace, but not one that would enable Lewis to make himself the master of a united labor movement. This is exactly what he is believed to have up his sleeve.
