There isn't going TO be any let-up in
plans for construction of the Wilbur L..
Cross parkway despite the war, shortage
of materials, lack of laborers, etc. On
February 10 in New Haven there'll be an
important conference of city and state
officials over the course the parkway will
follow through that city. The State High
way Department has already filed a
proposed route in the Town Clerks office,
but the City Planning Commission wants
to discuss the matter bit further than
this OF course the most important part
of the New Haven part of the roadway
will be the tunnel through West Rock.
That's still very definite, but very likely
will be one of the last pieces OF work
attempted and the road will probably be
brought right up to West Rock on each
side before actual boring begins. Present
plans for the parkway call for it to cross
Fountain Street near the city line, also
Amity Road DIETER known to Waterbur-
ians as the Bethany Road and Whalley
Avenue.

ANOTHER ROW
Wickards fronting for the farm
lobby in the price control bill,
isn't the only row hes had on this
score with inner Administrator
leaders.
The papers are full of stories
about a big crop expansion pro-
gram this year TO meet the food
needs of U. S. war allies. FIRE.
quent press releases issue from the
busy publicity staff of the Agri-
culture Department about gran
diose plans.
The real inside is that Wick
ard didn't get busy on these
plans until he was practically
ordered to do so by Vice Presi
dent Henry Wallace as head of
the Economic Warfare Board.
Wallace sent Wickard two
sharp letters demanding prompt
action to expand crop prGduc-
ton and only then did Wick
ard bestir himself.
Certain farm elements are
against crop expansion, on the
ground that scarcity makes for
better prices. Working through
politically minded Triple A Of
ficials, who have a lot of influ-
ence with Wickard, the anti-ex-
panders kept MIN on the fence
until Wallace Jared him off.
NOTE - Secretly, the AAA poll
ticos also had lot to Go with
Wickard's endorsement of the
gravy-train amendment in the
price bill. The AAAers are
jealous of Price administrator
Leon Henderson's authority, want
to elbow their way into the war
set-up as big shots.

ways and teachings OF God. The
young people are not to blame. They
do not establish and conduct the
schools; they attend them. All they
can do is to learn what they are
taught. And if they are taught
everything else under the sun but
are not taught the duties which
God requires of man and the moral
obligations we have one to another
because we are all children of the
Heavenly Father, then they have
not learned the best truth of all.
People with many letters after
their names signifying many de-
grees very often.know nothing about
spiritual truth. And conversely,
people who can scarcely read and
write sometimes have knowledge
of spiritual things and q deep faith
in God which lights up their minds
and makes them really wise.
1t will do us no good to gain
the whole world If In the process
We lose our souls. 1t will be poor
exchange If we make our children
wise as regards material facts and
ignorant as regards the eternal pur-
pose Of God.

MANAGER SCHWOLSKY
(Hartford Times

Appointment of Myer Schwolsky
as manager OF the Veterans hos
pital at NeWirgton is reassuring 10
Connecticut veterans and their
friends, since It puts in charge OF
the institution one WHO long has
been familiar with it, one who is a
native of Connecticut and is known
to all veterans and their families
in this area. The appointment also
is recognition of Mr.. Schwolsky's
qualifications for the place-duaN-
fications which he has demonstra-
ted as acting manager since the
death of Major Bannigan, who had
been manager of the hospital .or
SO many years.
AS chief attorney for the Vet
erans' Administration at Newing-
ton, Mr.. Schwolsky has performed
important duties, which included
the protection of not only Of the
Government, but also of the rights
of veterans. For many years before
coming to NeWington, he had been
connected with tie Veterans Admin
istration. His appointment as man

Gained down and persuaded to be
unanimous.
The dissenter was isolationist
Senator Rufus Holman of Oregon,
who put Under Secretary of War
Robert Patterson through stiff
grilling on the ex-OPM directors
"witness" for the high military
rank.
I'm against these Jump pro-
motions of civilians in the armed
services" snorted Holman. "Knud-
sen has no military qualifications.
He didn't come up through the
ranks like other officers. What
will his job be?"
"He will be assigned to speed
up production on Army con-
tracts" replied Patterson calmly.
II suppose you might call him
my chief Of staff"
"Will he have any military COM
mand or authority?" persisted
Holman.
mo, sir, he will serve in a
civilian capacity"
well, why give him this high
military rank then, If he's to have
civilian duties?" snapped Holman
with a triumphant air.
you're getting on rather deli
cate ground, senator" smiled
Patterson. my best answer
would be that Mr.. Knudsen will
be dealing directly with many
army officers, acting as inspec-
tors and in other capacities in
war industries, and he will COM
mand more respect, and prob
ably get better cooperation, II

WARY RAVY-TRAINER
You can write it down that
Secretary of Agriculture Claude
Wickard is going to be very chary
about using that gravy-train veto
power the farm lobby voted him
in the price control bill.
He knows that the White House
is still sputtering over his I'M
authorized endorsement Of this
lobby scheme at a crucial moment
in the Senate fight over the legis-
lation. Also, that If he attempts
to exercise the power he is liable
to be slapped down even harder
than when he fronted for the
lobby.
Actually, under cover, Wickarc
has promised i'll eject to be a
good boy.
1t didn't leak out at the time,
but during the secret deiibera-
tiOns of the joint Senate House
conference committee on the
bill, he wrote the committee q
letter repudiating his previous
endorsement and saying he
didn't want the veto power over
farm prices.
Wickard wrote this letter un-
der White House pressure. He
knew he was in bad and he tried
to square hims..f.
But for the Administration, the
backdoWn was too late. The dam
age had been done. for the amend
ment was in the bill and the lob
by's pals on the joint committee
We're in a powerful position to
stand pat.
In this final bitter fight, two
Alabama Democrats and Michi-
gan Republican were responsible
for the retention of the gravy
train provision. They were SEN
ator John H. Bankhead and Rep
resentative Henry B. Steagall Of
Alabama, and Representative Jesse
p. Wolcott of Michigan.
AS the amendment originated
in the Senate, under the rules, 1t
was necessary for the House con-
ferees to propose deletion. Steagall,
chairman of the House group,
publicly makes great show of
being a red hot Administrations
But behind the closed doors of
the committee room, he adamant-
iy refused to heed Roosevelt's plea
for elimination OF the lobby
amendment.
Backed by WOlcOtt, who fought
the vital war bill from the start,
and with Bankhead running in
reference in the Senate group,
Steagall forced the retention Of
the provision.
