The J. V. A. got of to a good start among the younger boys and girls of Waterbury the other day, in Its call for members. The young people for the most part were be- tween the ages of 10 and 13. But when we issued this call we expected to find few older boys and girls, not only the younger children, whom are praised. It seems that every time the older children are called upon to give up some of their time

 in Passing
nAxMoND J.EIERAERIok

mo states Democratic and Re- publican leaders are seeing that Bridgeport bogeyman" again now that the fall elections are ape pronching. They don't know exactly how to figure out the eminent pr. Jasper McLevy SO they spend Q good deal of their time these late spring days worrying about him and the effect that his Socialist party candidacy win have on the election.
 
 Republicans hold 10 the theory that most votes for Jasper at the expense of the Democrats and it is easy to make out a case in support of this argument. At the same time there's always the lurking fear that maybe this time it's the COP. that will suffer.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-06-06

Jasper's stock dropped way down irl the l940 election, but the memory of 1888, when he boiled over l85,- 000 votes, Is still vivid in the minds of major party leaders. A vote com parable to that this year would up- set all the confident calculations that have been made.
 Again this year of course he will campaign on the theme that both major parties are helpless, inefn- cient and worse. Unlike 1888, how ever, this year Jasper will not be dismissed with a laugh and the threat of his candidacy will be dealt with seriously. Furthermore, pr. McLevy will be up against, in Gov. Hurley, @ man just as blunt and aggressive as himself. This time Casper will have to take it as well as dish 1t out, and that will be a new experience for him in state campaign.

It Is heart-rending to read of the plight in which the Connecticut Light & Power Co. says 1t finds itself-a plight so grave that 1t seeks authority to raise It's rates flor 0as and electricity. Fuel costs have risen steadily, the company hold Che state public utilities com- mission a few days ago, and the Ig0mpany needs authority to pass |Dn to consumers any further ad- VanCes in fuel prices. The commits sion now has the application under consideration.
 The company's argument raises
 some interesting speculation. If
 a consumer finds that his living
 costs have risen (as they have) will the company listen to him if The argues that he ought to pay less for gas and electricity? When
 fuel prices have gone down, have
 the service rates been immediately
 reduced i'm proportion?
 It was stated at Hartford that granting of the authority by the PUG would not mean any early in- crease in electric rates but would mean an early boost in gas rates.
 It Is hard to reconcile the com- pany's arguments about rising costs with federal figures showing that electric rates charged in Waterbury are among the highest in the coun- try for cities of it's size. Many of us consumers had been going along in the blissful belief that the c0lnpany's next action on rates would be a reduction, not an in- grease.
 Likewise it is difficult to recon
 eile the company argument with the recent order by the federal
 power commission that it submit
 accurate rather than inflated lig-
 nTeS on its physical preprefies.
 The FPC gave the company 90
 days tO file accurate figures after charging the utility with seeking
 to evade the law.
 The average man can't help but wonder if some Of the arrogance Qf the J. Henry Roraback days when a willing legislature gave the company anything it wanted. isn't cropping up again. Or should the

Gov. Hurley d0es not seem to Dc at all worried about the fall campaign. As perhaps the busiest governor in Connecticut's history, he has bothered little with party affairs, devoting his time instead t0 the state government and the var effort.
 On the Republican side, ex- GOv. Raymond E. Baldwin Is stiHl keeping the faithful on edge. with his "Will he or won't he?" strategy. Thus far the strategy has worked we'll, keeping him in tho forefront, but 1t might be fatal if kept mp too long. There is always the chance that while Mfr. Baldwin is on the sea-saw, some bigger boy may come along and take over the whole play ground.

 Norway Attempts Fails
 Stockholm, Swenden, April 2- EUP) - Ten Norwegian steamships making a desperase attempt to run khe German blockade of the Baltic and reach Great Britain have been Intercepted by the Germans, dis" catches from coastal points reported today.
 Two of the ships, the 12359 ton 5uhaler Skytteren and the 6,222 ton tanker Buccaneer, were believed to tave scuttled by their crews when German armed trawlers intercepted lhen.
 A third ship, unidentified, was re- ported to have been run aground on the Norwegian coast and a fourth, of about 4,ooo tons, was Ablaze in the Skager Rak, between tlae Norwegian and Danish coast It had nearly won Irs way out to the North Sea.

WAINWRICHT'S

 War department communiques said the Japanese attacked the right center of WaInwright'S line anchored on Manila Bay near Ahu" cay after dark, but were checked by fierce hand-to-hand bayonct action. The Japanese captured and held 6 few outposts but the war depart ment said they paid heavily in caS- ualtles while Wainwright's own loss- es were slight. It insisted that there had been no material change in the situation, and that the main line of the defenders was untouched.
 While American and Filipino bay- onets and artillery checked that at- tack, except for sharp patrol actions, Japanese naval units and dive bomb- CTS pounded Wainwright's positions along the left side of the line, ape parently near Moron on the China sea. The results of the attacks were not given, but it appeared that the Japanese were attempting to destroy strong beach defenses, possibly as c prelude to an attempted landing operation on this end of the line.
 Bringing of naval craft into the battle, the first since the current ate tackS began March 24, indicated ati increased tempo of the action. The last time the Japanese tried c major landing on the west coast of Bataan was Feb. 3, when Gen. Douglas Mac- Arthur directed an air and ground attack that resulted in great enemy losses of ships and men.
 Strike Back at Japs
 Meanwhile, American forces, in- cluding fierce fighting sulus, Philips pine scouts and the conStabulary, struck hard and spectacularly in raids on two major Japanese .occu- pied cities in the southern Island of Mindanao.
