rogative to fire until notified by the Navy.
 NO BLITZ DEFENSE
 This was system based upon the more leisurely methods of old-fashioned warfare, and would seem blissfully to ignore the long, established Hitler Japanese te b. nique of the surprise L-.A.
 Moreover, the Navy, in fig uring on it's defense of Hawaii, based it's calculations on a Jap ancse attack by battle-fleet. The Navy had the backbone of it's fleet, including some of it's best battleships, concentrated at Pearl Harb0r for such an attack. And it ruled out the idea that an airplanc carrier could steam at 30 knots all night, and get close enough so that it's planes, un- leashed two hours be1Ore dawn, could take Pearl HarObr by sur- prise.
 Ordinarily, Navy patrol planes flew only about 1000 miles out to sea from Pearl Harbor. But an airplane carrier steaming 12 hours under cover of darkness, could make 360 miles; while its planes, flying 300 mics an hour, could make 600 miles in two hours or total of 960 miles. Thus an airplane carrier could Turk on the outskirts of the navy patrol planes 1000 mile cruise, and at D. m. begin its dash to Pearl Harbor.
 The most, important thing to note, however, was that this an- tiquated red-tape, set up for the protection of Pearl Harbor and other coastal areas, was worked out by Joint Army Navy Board on which there was no member of the Army Air Corps.
 General Stanley Embick, Dep uty Chief of Staff, dictated an appropriation estimate for only six long range bOmbers for the Army in the budget of 1940- until world events later forced a revision upwards.
 General Embick has spent most of his life as Coast Artillery man and in his line was a very competent officer. However, he was not an aviator. And no mem Der of the Army Air Corps i,, nt least by the puDlic) as the most important branch of the service sat on the General Staff until a few months ago.
 WILL TT BE REMEDIED
 The big question in the minds of many Air Corps officers now is whether the Investigating board headed by Justice Owen Roberts will go to the heart of this cum bersome divided responsibility between the Army and Navy.
 Unfortunate, three members of the Board were committed to the Joint Army-Navy Board scheme. Admiral Standley was Chief of Naval Operations, while Admiral Reeves was a member of the General Board, so that both approved it. General Me Narney, who is not very aggres- sive, also had gone along with the Joint Army Navy Board plan, though he is a member of the Air Corps.
 Therefore. the only investiea- ors who will approach the prob lem fresh are Justice Roberts and General Frank Mccoy, a cavalry officer who has been in Washing ton very little during recent years.
 The present situation at Pearl Harbor is that Admiral Chester V. Nimitz commands the Navy. And as full admiral he outranks Lieut.. Gen. Delos c. Emmons, head of the Hawaiian Department, and also Brigadier General Clarence Tinker, commander of the Army air forces.

THREE YEAR COURSES
(NeW Britain Herald

(NeW brltdlIl feralQ)
 Various colleges, including Har- yard, Yale, Trinity and Wesleyan in New England, have begun com pressing their four-year courses into three years by adding three months of regular study each summer.
 Very good But why not continue that after the war?
 The four-year college course con- sists of approximately nine months each year. In four years that to- tals to 36 months.
 The three-year course will con- sist roughly of 12 months study. That totals to 36 months in three years exactly matching the four year course. Students can study in summer as
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-01-10

well as during any other time of the year. There is no need of a three months loafing period each summer. When they go "out into the world" they'll work during the summer re. gardless of the heat. The three-year courses save years studying and 8 years expens- es. Therefore 1t must be considered more efficient-the same results ob- tained in shorter time and at less expense.

which followed his lottery speech. Thomas had advocated a na- tional lottery to help defray the cost of war. It was a sober, we'll reason speech, but immediately came a journalistic blast from back home.
 The Oklahoma City Star, which describes itself as an All Church Press" came out with a banner headline reading:
 WHAT HAS HAPPENED
 TO ELMER THOMAS The sub-head blared forth:
 He No Longer Represents
 Oklahomans
 And the second sub-head de- clared:

 Citizen Hangs His Head In
 Shame Because Of Him But the worst blow of all was the caption under Thomas picture which read:

 To leave no stone llnturned, the Star marked a lot of copies in red and sent them to Thomas Senate colleagues, to warn them against voting for national lot tery.

Selected Poem
WINTER HILLS

,rthur Wallace Peach in the Christian Science
 Monitor The great hills soar like mighty seas Where blue horizons dimly rise White seas whose rolling pillows break In silence on the northern skies. Like some mysterious oceans held Tn flight by magic word or spell The far slopes pause aS if to wait The springs releasing miracle, The patient valley roads reveal No wonder at the white seas flight; Dark valleys hold their ancient peace And silently the brooks unite. Alone, with question pointed high A farmhouse chimney's lilac spray Fingers the sky's immensity To feel the wonder of the day!

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. rs. - The
fabulous William Saroyan, author
of many fantastic stories and
plays. has turned over to M-G-M
a 400-word script. The Human
Comedy" Believe it or not, 1t IS
a tender, human interest story Of
a small, mythical California town
which he calls Ithica.
The characters are all middle
class people-a mother, son,
II, a girl in school and brother
IN the army. Mickey Rooney plays
the Extraordinarily a wonder
full Rooney role.
There is quite story back OF
the Saroyan deal. The author said
he wanted TO write story directly
for the movies and that he didn'
want 10 be paid until he had COM
pleted a satisfactory job. So he
went to his home in San Francisco
and The Human Comedy Is the
result.
M-G-M bought II and Saroyan
will develop IL. Later he will put
his movie in hook form. He is
probably not AS altruStic as this
sounds for | reckon he will got a
pretty sum for his completed
movie script.

Judge Says Resident Alien
Is Entitled 10 Use of Courts

Justice James M. Proctor yester-
day ruled that a resident alien is
entitled to full use of the courts and
legal action during the wartime
emergency.
The jurist took this action in a
civil contract case in a memoran-
dunn to suspend the case for the
duration Of hostilities. He also made
the same ruling in another case
involving divorce proceedings and
has third case under consideration
which involves the right of resident
aliens to 60 before United States
courts
Recently the United States Su-
preme Court ruled that non-resi-
dent aliens could not seek recourse
in the courts during the war, as
stipulated in the Trading With the
Enemy Act of 1918"
Justice Proctor in his decision de-
clared that "at the pre- trial of this
case the question arose as to wheth-
er. in view Of the admitted Italian
citizenship of plaintiff, prosecution
Of his suit should not be suspended
during the war"
The jurist declared "the courts
remain open to citizens OF an enemy
nation residing peaceably within
this country under its laws"
