Willett Voices Plea.
'~ In the words of Mr. Willett, the
drive yesterday was slightly over
one-third of the goal amount, in
about four -tenths of the time of the
campaign, which closes November
H. He called on workers to intensity
their efforts to send the Washington
total over the top, to keep in line
with many other cities throughout
the country who already are exceed
Ing their goals. He suggested the
slogan be changed from Don't Let
Them Down." to Don't Let Wash
ington Down."
The five different major groups
Of services which will share in the
Community War Fund are divided
as follows, Mr.. Akers pointed out:
United Service organizations, both
national and local, $597,776.
United Nations War Relief, $780,
461.
Community Chests and other local
welfare. S2.522.4O5.

tributors that they will not be asked
to contribute again in 1943 to any OF
the above organizations nor to any
other war relief agency that may be
organized during 1943 to meet a
genuine need among our Allies in the
war, $264,997."
Melvyn Douglas of the Office OF
Civilian Defense painted a gloomy
picture of the needs of Washington,
and predicted that if the campaign
failed to provide for the capital, such
a failure would give Hitler just the
sort of ammunition, he would like
to use.
Organized welfare he characterized
as sheer efficiency" necessary in
this war for survival"
He pointed to shortage of housing
here, needs for protection of the
health of the increasing population,
"a people living in an Groom, one
family house with one sink and one
bathroom; overcroWded hospitals,
prostitution so serious as to be
frightening; juvenile delinquency
on a 30 per cent increase.
ITO fail to meet these needs" he
charged, I'VE would be less than citi-
zens, we would be less than human
beings"
Miss Mabel R. Cook, chairman of
the USO staff conference of Wash

here by USO.
You and I are realizing" she
told the luncheon group, that in
this great community effort it doesn't
matter who gets the credit, but that
in Washington we unite our efforts
so that every serviceman, every war
worker, every family in need is
taken care of. 1t takes all of us to
do it, working closely and co-opera-
lively even though the task may
seem beyond us-because the needs
are crucial"

Cost Is Incidental

Bice Clemow, executive secretary ot the War Production Boards Bureau of Indus trial Conservation, says that there shouldn't be any consideration given by city to the cost of removing trolley tracks from streets, so long as the steel can prove of benefit to Uncle Sam'S defense program. There has been a slight ten dencv here in Connecticut to look as- kance at the rail removal projects in view of estimated costs announced after some had been taken up from Hartford streets.
 Maybe that's why Haverhill Mass, doesn't object to the fact that it will re- ceive S13,0O0 for it's trolley rails which are to be removed from the streets at cost of S164,O00. It will be a WPA pro- iect and the city will contribute S5O,0O0 as it's share of the cost, the remaining S114,000 presumably coming from the federal government. Maybe were bit preiudiced but this seems like expensive patriotism And if every city with idle trolley rails indulged in we don't see how the nation could escape bankruptcy.
 There's no doubt but what every bit ot scrap metal we can find should be con- tributed. And we think that every com- munity is eXerting itself to provide as much as possible and to awaken its cit izenry to the need of doing the same and providing all these salvageable materials. But where such a one-sided proposition as paying $164,000 for $13000 worth of scrap comes to light, then 1t does seem as if we're stretching things too thin. There must be other ways in which we can win the war other than turn our economic theories upside down.

is not going to save the United States a single dollar in the purchase of the ma teriel of war. Exactly as many billions will be borrowed, to pay for the war, whether the bonds are bought by the U. A. w. membership with their overtime pay or by willing subscribers who know how badly their dollars are needed, and don't object to an interest rate rather liberal in these days.
 These concessions have to be considered in the light of two things. First that they are conditioned upon acceptance ot a nine-point program which, sound and enlightened for the most part, is econom- ically unavoidable in at least one detail. The union demands both price control and wage increases. That won't Work.
 Second, the fact that the whole prob lem of overtime pay is one of cost. we can produce under the present pay scales. The men will work Sundays, holidays and nights at price. So 1t isn't matter of production primarily. The trouble IS that even this rich nation is going to be hard-pressed by the size of the bill we are contracting in order to supply the entire anti-axis world with food and weapons The relatively small income waived by men whose normal shift in- cludes Sundays, or an occasional holiday doesn't scratch the surface of the real problem. Give credit to the U. A. w. for a fine gesture. But let's look this gift horse in the mouth and see if he will prove worth his keep after we get him into the barn-if we do.

A Thought for Today
Many Ways of Cleaning Up

Local police have been unusually active this spring in arresting drivers who allow refuse to drop off their trucks. Violation of health ordinances, such as these, are often overlooked, but in view of the fact that there have been so many complaints of recent years about disposal of rubbish the authorities are now endeavoring to educate the public to proper use of pub lie and private dumps, as well as trans portation of debris through the city streets.
 Another little matter that is somewhat akin to this is that of broken glass along city streets. Many times an automobile windshield is accidentally broken and the glass allowed to litter the street for days at & time Occasionally call will be made to the police station and prompt action is usually forthcoming, motor patrolman being sent out with broom to clean up the glass. Glass bottles are often broken in gutters and sometimes remain there for two or three days before cleaned up.
 In Hartford this week it was proposed that breaking a glass bottle or throwing broken glass on public highway should be a miSdemeanor punishable by fine or imprisonment or both. The Hartford laWmaker who proposed it believes that the tire situation is too acute now to have motorists forced to drive through broken glass. He's right, but in more ways than this it should be brought home that brok- en glass along streets is unsightly as well as dangerous and instances of the same should be promptly reported to the po- lice so that either they or the street de- DArtnent can take care of them.

Before we break into huzzahs for the enlightened patriotism of the United Auto Workers, because of the pay con- sessions they have voted, let's consider the record. Exactly what is 1t that is to be given up -- and what does the U.A.W. propose to retain? What is the back ground against which the proffer was made?
 The union is willing that it's members should work 40 hours week for the reg ular pay scale. If, in the effort to keep our national plant and equipment pro Sucing to capacity this 40-hour basic week must include Sundays or holidays, the union will not require six days pay for five days work, That is concession Number One. But if overtime actually Is worked the agreement does not waive penalty scales, ordinarily at time and half Rather it is left that pay for all work over 40 hours week shall be in government bonds.
 Stripped of all extraneitieS, this means that the union will contract that its members shall purchase government bonds with everything they earn through overtime work on war production. That is a fine, patriotic gesture, worthy of emulation by anybody whose income IS above the subsistence level. For 1t the delegates representing 534,000 workers deserve congratulations when and If the plan becomes effective.
 To the extent that the treasury expects Co have difficulty in marketing enough bonds to finance this war the U. A. W. proposal Is valuable. But only to that extent. For the effeetuatict or the plan

We often wondered why the Atlantic coastal area couldn't be aided in the present situation of declining oil and ga- soline stocks by pipe lines. Evidently public officials haven't overlooked this bet. Some 1,40o miles of oil pipeline from the Middle West to refineries in the East may be relocated soon to relieve the grow ing pressure And at the same time a new pipeline may be built from Texas to Illinois to supplement present supplies and aid the situation If we can build a pipeline from Maine up to Montreal, then we surely can route oil from the York and New Jersey. No definite infor- nation on what actually may be done is yet forthcoming, but the general opinion seems to be that some one of these days we'll probably wake up to find that oil IS being piped almost into our backyard, It'll piped almost into our backyard. land is just starting to squirm bit about what may happen next winter

Shortage of Seawater!

It will come as a suprise to many, who had heard about Alcoa's monopoly (until recently in the production of aluminium, to learn that about A per cent of this continents output is made in Canada, Notwithstanding the huge expansion in American extraction of the light metals, we are told that still we need more alum mum and more magnesium from the Dominion.
 As for the aluminium, this is under standable. With our enormous plane program, there is almost no limit to our requirement.. But why can't we produce all the magnesium we want? A bathtub full of seawater contains more than seven pounds of the metal, and there is no wis., ible scarcity of seawater hereabouts.

It's quite proper that the new highway bridge across the Connecticut River be named the Charter Oak Bridge. The bridge commission has just voted in fa- vor of the name and we think the state will back it up in its choice. The title has been used for many purposes in Connecticut and no one, of course, will ever forget the part the Charter Oak played in state history, but it's good to see so imposing a structure as the new bridge is bound to be commemorate It.. Incidentally the new bridge is not too far away from Charter Oak Avenue and Place, where the famous tree actually stood
