 Then Jack Warner got into the Army also as Q lieutenant cole onel in the Air Coorps.
 Whereupon the rivalry start cd. It. Col. Daryl Zanuck inc vlted Maj. Gen. Dawson Oln1- stead, chief of the Signal Corps, out to Hollywood, where he gave him . big blowout with all the stars and starlstS for trimmings.
 Shortly thereafter, It. Col. Zan- uck was promoted in the Signal Corps to the rank of full, colonel. So he sported eagles oaa his shoul- ders, whereas It. Col. Jack War ner has only silver leaves. Then : Col. Warner staged a big Holly wood luncheon for General Hap" Arnold, his chief in the Air Corps.
 And all Hollywood is waiting to see how soon Jack Warner be- comes a full colonel. If and when he does, they know that Col. Daryl zanuck will have his. eyes fixed on the rank of brigadier general.

No Hitler Justice

"We want no Hitler justice here," says Associate Justice Byrnes of the Supreme Court. we want no trial by ax men instead of juries. We know the meaning of equal justice under the law. We know the blessings of liberty To pre- serve these we will give our all."
 This, from high source of sound lib- erality and unquestionable patriotism, is a plea against condemning nationality groups as such, against prosecuting loyal citizens because they or their fathers chanced to be born in some country now at war with us. It is hard advice to take, but good, so long as we do not permit termites to destroy those very freedoms.

It was deep, bitter and personal.
 Stimsor contended that big war; ships were not necessarily the best type of vessel for the Navy, that small, fast cruisers, able to fire at lightning speed, might be just as good, perhaps better. Stim- son maintained that the Admirals should experiment with different kinds of ships before they put all their eggs in the big ship basket.
 Because of this argument, the late Admiral Hilary P. Jones re- signed for a time from the Arneri- can Naval Delegation at London; and 8 battery of admirals bonn barded Stimson publicly before the Senate Foreign Relations com mittee.
 But Stimson won his fight until Roosevelt entered the White House. Then the adYnirals rushed to the man who once was assist ant secretary of the Navy, and concentrated on their one great love-big warships. L LESSONS OF BIG BATTLES
 The Navy's announcement of the past week, however, have sup- ported Stimson 100 per cent. For in the battles of the Coral Sea and Midway Island, the Navy's big warships did not fire single shot at Jap vessel. They did not get even remotely within range.
 Everything was air power, with a few submarines also par-

Registration of rentable pr

Registration of rentable property in Waterbury which started here as in many other defense areas this week, might not seem like much of task, but by the time the list is compiled it'll be one. whose length is almost unimagin- able. Few people realize to what extent Waterbury has grown in the last ten or twelve months. Only when the housing problem is brought home in a. close sense do they begin to see what has happened here and how many housing units there are which are being rented. At the pres ent time housing has reached the bulging point. What it'll be year from now no one knows But certainly the figures ob- tained through the cooperation of land- lords will be most invaluable.

Judging by the reports issuing from the Board of Works meeting the other night sale of city water outside of the city presents it's difficulties. However, there is this to remember always. So far as we know the city has never become a salesman to get rid of surplus water in adjoining towns. If it has been petitioned for such service, where it could make 1t available, it has done so, but not at Wa s2rbury taxpayers expense, which is right and proper.

 Meanwhile, there are indications that the big battleship advocates have been decisively defeated. Senator Brewster of Maine has re ported that he understands the Navy has abandoned work on five super-dreadnaughts In favor of expanding the aircraft carrier pro- gram. This is a move which has been urged by many White House advisers, who also want to see battleslaip steel going into mer- chant ships and patrol vessels which can be finished In l942, not 1944.
 A stalrnch advocate of the bat- tleship who has been won over to the new strategy of naval warfare is Admiral William Leahy. One of the ablest and most fortnight of- ficers who ever bossed the fleet, Admiral Leahy has come back Vichy to confess:
 "This war has made , fool out of me. The battleshipS I advocated have to be wrapped up in cotton wool. The trouble with us Is that our Bureau of Ships sees what the Japanese are building and says We've got to build ships to match the Japs.' Then they see what the British are building an q say, We've got to have ships like thoSe.'
 ''What we readily want are some far-sighted designers who will plan some ships which no. body else has - ships that com. bine the best features of the battleship and the aizpiane car- reir."
 CAPITOL CHAFF
 High Commissioner Sayre of the Philippines has sent his resig- nation to the President. His let ter carries a tag line that he is available for other duty. (Sayre is the son-in-law of woodrow Will son) Undersecretary of War Patterson has drafted Herbert Bayard Swope, ex-star editor of the New York World, to advise him on public relations for the duration /. Jack Dempsey has resigned as Undersecretary of the Interior to run for governor of New Mexico. He will have the Presidents full support \. Likely successor to Dempsey as Under- secretary of the Interior is Mike Strauss, publicity expert for Har- old Ickes-tInless the White House objects to having two men from Chicago in the two top Interior Department positions. Usually, the Rocky Mountain states get first crack at one of these jobs To prevent sabotage, the Army soon will begin fingerprint- ing all war plant workers-in- cluding officials of factories.

Selected Poem

SAW THE ROOTS OF MOSCOW (Charles Malam in the New York Sum- saw the roofs of Moscow
 Through early autumn frost, The smoke was thin and shining, The land was winter lost. And on the roads to Moscow
 The raiding wolves saw, The wolves that walk like humankind And feed human rnaw. But now another summer
 Is warm upon the plains, And still the roofs of Moscow
 Take the summer rains. And green again is showing
 Where the people stood And met the raiding wolf pack
 And killed them in the wood.

 Juneau Jitters" is the result of unfounded rumors, Juneau, known as the rumor center of Alaska, has been afflicted with the disease for years. War popped up to an all time high. It got so bad that the rumor mongers were believing some of the stuff themselves. Prize was the one circulated about the Capi- tai City that the Alaska Juneau mine was going to close down because the Seiective Service was going to draft all the employees out of the mine.

 upshot: Governor went on the air. advised Gastineau Channel residents to take 1t easy, and without rumors: suggested that the only safer places he could recommend at the moment were caves in the Bad Lands of the Dakotas, or perhaps a nice bomb- proof shelter in Kansas, heart of the U. s. He declared there was no jus tification for the state of mind ex- isting in the Juneau area and for the folks to keep your shirts on"
 Rest of the towns in the Terri tory smiled complacently; wondered why Juneau couldn't take it; sug- gests shots of spinal fluid to straighten up the backbones: went on in their quiet way to help win the war.

 Meanwhile, Alaskans were being complimented by Rear Admiral c. s. Freeman, Commandant of the 18th Naval District, for their cooperation. In a communication to the newspa- pers and wire services in the dis trict, Admiral Freeman said: Your precautions in checking unconfirm- ed rumors, and your cooperation in many other ways. with the District Public Relations Office are very much appreciated.
 Alaska has been declared in the zone of war operations. Every one in Alaska, except the isolated case of the Juneau Jitters'', is more than willing to take it, and, as the Chief so aptly put it, they are ready to do some giving back with com pound interest when the time comes.
