To Save Rubber

If we lived under dictatorship, dedi- cated to unflinching efficiency in the conduct of this war, no automobile would be permitted on the streets with out specific permission of transporta- ton control board. Thus far we have found only one man with pretensions to authority who disputes that an acute emergency exists because of our rubber shortage. He is Elliot E. Simpson, an independent rubber dealer. His views have been given publicity through con- gressional committees before which he has testified as an expert.
 It may be that we are all out of step but MT. Simpson. There may be an average of 500 pounds of scrap rubber per family lying around, awaiting reclama- ton. The preponderance against MT. Simpsons opinion is so great that we are convinced he is deluded on the subject. If every insider except Mr. Simpson is correct, then our national stock of rub Der is not enough to service the military establishment, provide for the transpor- tation of war workers and war goods, and permit civilians to continue driving to the theater, to stores, to the beach, to the golf links and the tennis courts, to ball games, to bridge parties, to their country homes.
 Conceding that hard-working men and women require diversion and exercise, we arc coming face to face with the necessity for choosing between two evils. For the relatively limited time we shall need to win the war against the axis, is recrea- ton of war production the more essential? The best available figures indicate that If all the tires we have were to be used eX- clusively for war purposes, they could be stretched for enough to outlast Hitler and Hirohito.
 Unfortunately they now are being wasted at the minimum rate of about 455 miles wear every week in the east, and even faster in the western areas, not affected by gasoline rationing. A hard boiled dictatorship would not permit this wastage. Such dictatorship would take the tires from everybody who does not drive his car for war purposes.
 We do not believe such course will or perhaps should be followed in this democ- racy. Our restraint is due principally to fear that such program would be fumbled - that chislers would get away with murder while the periodically CO., operative held the bag. But If rubber continues to be wasted as 1t is now, even democracy may be driven to adopt some modification of this plan.

The waters around Bridgeport have been given a clean bill of health so far as bathing is concerned. That should be of much interest to residents of all Fairfield County. It was a year ago, we believe, that Bridgeporters were warned about bathing in certain waters because of contamination. Evidently since then authorities have managed to get these waters cleaned up. However there will be weekly tests of the waters which are used for swimming purposes as health officials have stated that it's possible for evidences of pollution again to crop forth, although one week there might not be even a trace of the same. Only complete elimination of pollution through treament of sewage and factory wastes will ever make our fresh and salt waters safe for all purposes. That day may seem far distant, but we'll wager that when this war is over the people Will see a great amount of work done to pro- vide just such condition.

Make It Definite

It's unfortunate that the military authorities couldn't have remained con- sistent on their attitude with regard to dimming out the Connecticut coastline. We rather think the areas affected by the current order would have liked it better and grumbled less had the ban on shore lights been allowed to stand when orig inally put into effect. But for some reason it was decided that the dim-out was serving no practical purpose and that Connecticut shore lights weren't visible over Long Island nor were they forming back screen for ships at sea.
 We hope the persent order to dim out, while it won't be received with any too much grace by the resorts most affected by the ban, will last until the U-Boat menace has been removed from the At lantic shipping lanes It must have been apparent from the very beginning that lights along the Connecticut shore were contributing toward better obServa- ton of coast shipping. Hence the puzzle ment of the general public now over the lifting of the ban and then imposing of it again.
 A more positive action with regard to New England'S compliance with war regulations would create more response among the people. The ability of official dom to fiddle while the country yearnS for action is not conducive to high morale or united effort.

Macarthur for President?

The Draft McArthur for President Clubs, and all others who cooperate with them, are doing an immeasurable disserV- ice both to the cause of democracy and to the hero of the Philippines himself We hope he will take strong steps to repudi- ate the movement. The task given to General Macarthur is of surpassing inn portance. Even more vital is it that he should remain untarnished as symbol of American military valor.
 But no man can run or he run for the Presidency without having every casual indiscretion of his life broadcast to the winds. and every real achievement be- Titled. This must not happen to Mac Arthur The indomitable spirit or American arms which he personifles IS infinitely more valuable than his can didacy for President possibly could be-

While this might not be just the time for it, still the idea of granting the terri tories of Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico the right to elect their own governors IS in keeping with the principles for which we are fighting this great war n the right to self-determination of the form Of goV' ernment that nation may have. AS a matter of fact it's quite likely that If we emerge from this war glorious and un' scathed Alaska might well become our forty.ninth state. We think Alaska has more chance of Puerto Rico or Hawaii or being admitted to the Union, but we dont need to concede any chance at all for the others.

Mott evaded the issue of ethics. "I am 8 member of Con- gress," he snapped. T have 2 right to see the original"
 "Okay, Congressman, if you insist" grinned the clerk, pre- ducing the original transcript which showed that Willkie had not revised the campaign ora tory" remark. The reporters notes and the printed hearings were identical
 Mott's face turned a tomato red, but he still insisted he was right.
 So the clerk informed the con- gressman that he could easily verify the transcript next day by talking to the reporter who took the testimony. Mott never re- turned. Bu the remains one of the politicos on Capitol Hill who still operates on a pOlitics-as-usuaI basis.

Beet Growers Ask Migrant Mexican Labor
BY PETER EDISON Waterbury Democrat Washington CNrraan0uHanf

The heat is on from the sugar beet growers of the southwest to import anywhere from 10000 to 100000 Mexican peonS to take of this years crop and thereby hangs a tale of woe. The shortage of farm labor is given as the excuse for the need of this wholesale mass migra- ton but the question follows na- turally whether the United States

Meanwhile, few people realize how much the French people though they don't relish it-are contributing to the Nazi war ef- fort. Here is the latest survey of the situation taken from con- fidential government reports:
 1. 100000 French workers are now employed in war factories.
 9. There is no French indus try which does not contribute to a substantial degree, to the supply of the military or civil departments of the Reich. This is done under German contracts, on generous terms of payment. But the money paid by the Ger mans with one hand is taken from the French with the other, in war indemnity.
 3. The French industries which are favored" with Ger man orders are making substan- tiaI profits. but their deliveries are draining the substance of France.
 f. The textile industry-one of the largest in France-re- gently completed delivery of 100000 metres of army cloth to Germany. The price is report ed to be I3O francs per metre. compared with a price of only 90 francs paid by French army authorities in the unoceupied.
 s. Another major French in- dustry, automobile Enanufactur- ing, is devoted almost entirely to contracts for. the occupation authorities" Incidentally, more than half of Frances pre-war

What is the salary Of the President of the United States, the Vice-President, the Cabinet Mem bers, the hCief Justice and Asso- ciate Justices of the United States3
 A. President, SIS, 900 a year; Vice President, $15,0OO; Cabinet Mem bers, SIS, 900; the Chief Justice, $2O,- 800 and Associate Justices, $2O,OOO. @. How can estimate the amount of paint needed for the exterior or a building?
 A. Measure the distance around the building in feet and multiply by the height to the caves or corn ices. If there are gables, multiply their widest part in feet by one half their height. Add these figures and divide the result by 700, which is about the number of square feet that one gallon of wnite-lead paint will properly cover. This gives the number of gallons needed for the body of the building for one coat. Multiply the number of gallons by the number of coats to be put on and the result is the amount of paint necessary for the job. For the trim, figure on using one gallon of paint for each 800 feet of usual" width trim.
