1t is interesting that the lives of

ally and effectively he said: Tt is obvi- ous to an onlooker who listens to the statements of grace and reverend sena- tors that not only is unanimity necessary, but 1t is acheived in the Senate. The Senate knows how to handle the rubber situation; and the co-ordinators, or what ever they may be called, are all wrong. It is quite evident from the discussion and the statements of senators who know more about the rubber situation than any of the co-ordinatorS, that there ought to be no regulation of gasoline which would effect the use of rubber in any way.
 we can handle the situation. That has been demonstrated in the past hour and a half. It was further demonstrated by the great speech made this. afternoon by the senator from Florida (Mr Andrews) in which he called attention to the steel and iron in sight in the Senate Chamber. He called attention to 80 tons of iron, 85 or 90 tons of steel, and the great quantity of other metals. He called at tention to something that made chills run up and down my spine, when he said that if the facts should become generally known we might all be arrested for hoard ng.Steel right here in the Senate.
 "That demonstrates that we know how to regulate rubber and gasoline and that we ought to do it. It has been demon strated that 96 senators can do much better job\ than can one person who wants to be tyrant dictator, or some thing else, and set the pace for the whole country It seems to me that we have had demonstration of how to settle the whole thing; and do not see why we should not proceed to settle it."
 Nor do we.

Nebraska Sarcasm

One need not be an answering follower of Senator George Norris economic phil osophy to sympathize with that honest, belligerently straightforward old war horse as he sat in the United States Sen- ate the other day and listened to the debate" on gasoline rationing. On the merits of nationwide rationing there is room for legitimate disagreement, unless one accepts the thesis that our rubber situation is so serious that we must ration gasoline to control the waste of tires.
 Even then, Senator Kilgore of West Virginia made pertinent point that the proposed system for rationing fuel to save tires permits every motorist to do about 60 miles week of non-essential driving. Unfortunately the debate" wandered from such matters to what many consider an unseemly display of vituperative demagogism directed against the men notably Leon Henderson - who are trying to handle very difficult situation with a minimum of errors.
 To Senator Norris, as to many outside of Congress, the air of the Gentleman's ~lub grew unbearahle. Briefly, caustic-

Better Days Coming?

The housing situation presents itself in as confused state here in Water bury as in any. defense manufacturing area of the nation. Almost anyone can tell you of woes and worries of housing problems The city is already over crowded and people are resorting to every means to find shelter for them selves and families. It's an unusual sit uation, of course, not normal and no one knows exactly whether it will con- tinue or cease abruptly once the war is over.
 Few people know, however, of the diff faculties of building at the present time unless they happen to be engaged in the same. Time was when any number of contractors would listen to an earnest plea to build house. Today they listen to the plea, then weep silently for the contract they have to turn down. There just isn't anything to be done for the individual who wants to build house, even if his need for the same is pressing and he is vital part of our defense in- dustry.
 Uncle Sam is more concerned with
 mass production right at the moment. You'll find plenty of encouragement for an impetus given to building of defense housing units, but that's about the extent of the story. Beyond that the federal government won't let the building in- dustry move and there is gradually pill ing up an immense number of homes that come well within the defense necessity category. Sooner or later this pile will topple over from weight and the result won't be so good. Some clarification or loosening up of federal building restric- tions throughout New England would end a precariouS situation.

The Absentee Voter

. As the months pass it becomes more and more evident to those familiar with the process of obtaining the absentee vote that this year difficulties will be pre- Sented which may make it well nigh impossible to guarantee the right of the franchise to all eligible men in the serv- ice. There yet remains question, voiced some time ago, whether military officials will permit wholesale absentee voting. Some speculation on the advisability of the same has been heard with the the- ory advanced that the same might dis close troop movements or locations, which knowledge would be valuable to the enemy.
 In addition to that there is slight problem of locating the eligible voters among the servicemen in ample time to send them applications for ballots, get the applications back, return ballots, and then get the ballots back within the legal period. Men within the country would not experience so much difficulty in applying for absentee ballots and in receiving them in ample time to vote, but what of the thousands (presumably) who are not in this country?
 Sooner or later some governmental agency will have to make definite rul- ing with regard to application of the absentee voting law to our soldiers, sailors, marines, technicians, nurses, etc, who may be stationed now and expect to remain so for the next few months on foreign soil. A haphazard attempt to reach them or one in which the forty eight states, through their individual communities, try to get this vote regis tered for next November is bound to be Sc confusing and so disrupting to postal service between American ports and sail ing and foreign ones of reception that little or nothing is gained. The situation demands clarification and definition of national policy

Selected Poem
DAVID NAUGHTY II

George E. Tingley in the New Haven Journal
 Courier) Never-never walk on Guilford Green In those secret, dismal hours When the sky is lost and the moon unseen, Except by unseen powers. Never walk, never tread on its burial ground Midst the soft, sunken, hallowed green, For your eyes will fear what may be found And shall ever regret what they have seen. David Naughty the Second a-restin there, His body alone with the dead, His body alone, and baleful glare That perces the night from his head For David is standing up straight in his grave, With his head sticking Up through the lawn, (An uncommon way for a corpse to behave After he's dead and gone) But so David has stood for many year, And no one has dared to contest His right to stand upright inside of his bier Instead on his back-with the rest. And gravely ne stands within his own grave. And gravely he fixes his glare At the home of John Redfield whose soul can't be saved,
 Until David's forsaken the air.

 Press correspondents released from Germany and Italy recently have brought back stories of the horrible effects of the operation of the Fas- cist form of capitalism in Europe. Nazi capitalism Is estimated to have footed conquered areas of Europe of $36, 900, ,0O0, 900 in cash and goods and to have murdered nearly 100000 Europeans by firing squads.

gently was on the verge of coin- ing new nickel without any nickel in 1t when Congressman Charles Dewey of Chicago stepped in and pointed out that the new nickel could not be used in New York subway turnstiles, nor in thousands of slot machines which sell refreshments in factories and elsewhere.
 Behind all this is the fact
 that nickel Is one of the Scarcest
 of defense metals; so the gov-
 ernment had decided the new
 5-cent piece should not be made
 of nickel at all, but of fifty
 per cent copper and fifty per
 cent silver.
 But suddenly Congressman Dewey discovered that 1t is not entirely the. weight or size of the Scent piece which moves turn stiles or slot machines, but a magnetism coming from the quantity of nickel in the coin. Copper and silver, 1t was also found, would not set off the mechanism. So the mint sud- denly held up making the new coins.
 Since then it has been discov- cred that electrolic manganese, not a critical war material, can be used to supply the magnetism, and 1t will be used instead of nickel. So the new 5-cent piece will function in slot machines and subway turnstiles after all. PAINFUL WORDS ,

OPA inspectors have been active throughout Connecticut, it is reported, checking up on retail establishments A number, so the report states, are not com plying with the new law requiring prices to be posted. Others have made sure that their price cards show ceiling levels. As yet no real enforcement of the new law has been attempted by the OPA, but probably there will be recourse to court action if warnings fail to procure CO., operation among the establishments wis., ited We doubt very much if there is any intent to violate the law in this re- spect. There may be confusion and even ignorance of what the law means, but little explaining back and forth should make everyone familiar with what's nec- essary.

It begins to look as if Governor Robert A. Hurley would only have two major appointments to fill in the next few weeks. The post of State Bank Com missioner will continue to be filled by the present incumbent, Walter Perry, despite the fact that he is eligible for retirement. Commissioner Perry has done such a thoroughly satisfactory job that few question any plan to retain him in office. In addition Governor Hurley has pointed out recently that he, as Bank Commissioner, is the receiver of number of closed banks, including the Merchants Trust Company of this city, and to relieve him of such duties and name a. new receiver would involve a lengthy court procedure, which, in some instances, might not aid the operation or handling of assets of these closed in stitutions. The governors expressed opinion is that "he wants MT. Perry to remain" That should be good enough for all of us.

"The opposition played that record all over the district" Patrick, until \ had nightmares. I bad said over the radio
 "Ladies and gentlemen, we passed some kind of an apprO- priation bill up there . while ago. I voted for 1t. You know how 1t is with congressman. We vote . bill out today, and then buy 8 paper tomorrow to see what 1t was
 "I thought 1t was a pretty clever joke then, but when I heard that record played back to me q dozen times down in my district over the radio, 1t did not sound 90 funny. No, sir, I did not think 1t was . bit clever"
 And, judging by the votes neither did the people iA Patrick's district. WAR NOTES
 Suggestion to the Army and Navy air branches: How about giving the navigators and radio operators of plane crews a fav- orable mention in announcement of successful attacks. Pilots and gunners; who of course richly de- ssrye credit, are always cited, but it's rare that the navigator and radio operator get any mention, although vital to execution of a mission Here Is more good news for U. s. cotton growers: Camouflage requirements in the far-flung war areas are making leavy inroads in the huge cotton surplus. Vast quantities of cot- ton cloth are being bought by the Army for carnouflage pur- poses. .t
