HENDERsON's ESTIMATE

Price Administrator Leon Hen
dcrson originally estimated that
one-third OF the East'S motorists
would sign up for "A" cards, while
the other two-thirds would obtain
b And X cards the latter good for
unlimited purchases of gasoline.
The three gallon unit was
adopted on the basis OF these eSti-
mates and the known available
supply of 400.000.000 gallons Of
gasoline for private passenger
cars in the curtailment zone dur
ing the period from May Is to
July /.
Early reports indicated, how
ever. that far less than one-third
of the motorists were obtaining
"A cards. In such case, the pub
lie would hold far more ration
units than the supply would ac-
commodate on the basis OF three
gallons per unit.
Officials said the most logical
and Simplest" step would be 10
reduce the value of the unit in
order 10 balance the demand
against the supply. Other posi-
bilitieS were 10 recall unmerited
X cards. or subject b card appli-
cations 10 review by local ration
ing boards.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 90
Most significant political remark
OF the year was made by Mr..
Roosevelt's alter ego, Harry
Hopkins, In a New York speech.
He said the test in the election
OF congressman this November
should not be whether the
candidates are Republican or
Democrats, but whether they
want to win the war"
That statement pushed into
the ash can the spring primary
campaign to make the test on
whether a legislator supported
the Presidents foreign policy
before Pearl Harbor.
It signified the end OF the
movement to purge isolationists.
or to make domestic. political
hay out of the war situation.
"A Test of Loyalty
II put the current congress
sional campaign officially on a
ground advocated persistently
and with precisely the same
words in this column while the
purge furry was on. II makes
the test of loyalty a valid one:
do you want TO win the
war;"
The political confusion in the
public mind likewise seems to
be settling. Reader reaction 10
my recent columns complaining
about hates. and urging political
dissenters TO get into the war
effort anyway. suggests that the
great conflicting masses OF
group opinions tstartled. dis
illusioned. and sometimes hate
full at the outseD are getting
into the war groove.
While many dissenters are dis
pleased with much recent his
tory. and do not intend 10 forget
their political likes and dislikes,
they have adapted themselves 10
earnest support of the war
effort.

Hull Has Done His Best

There are disquieting indications that Secretary Hull may have lost his desper.. ate fight to keep the French Navy out of Hitler's hands. The veteran Tennessean is a pretty realistic gentleman. In his negotiations with Tokyo, Vichy, Madrid, he never has been under niSapprehenston as to the results he might achieve. Like MacArthur in the Philippines, Hull has fought an impossible battle against insur- mountable odds Every day that he delayed Japan's entry into the war, every day that he kept the French battlewagonS out of German hands, gave the United Ma tions little longer to prepare for the inevitable
 If it develops that the Reich actually has obtained possession of the French vessels, the little left-wing coterie of Hull baiters at Washington undoubtedly will go to work again on the long-Suffering secretary of state. As for the public, let those who have accomplished the impos- Sible in this war cast the first stone at Vtatesman who did his best.

A Thought for Today
Your Victory Garden

Many's the word of advice being given out these days to those houSeholderS ambitious for backyard garden this summer. The best advice, though, is to begin at the right time and not to cease your efforts until the last crop has been harvested. If you expect to have a suc- ceSSfUl garden you must put lot of work into it; it will neither grow nor bear fruit by itself. Too many people believe that soil, sun and rain are all that are neceS- Sary to produce results. The human ele ment enters into the picture quite strongly from the outset to the finish.
 For example failure to prepare the soil by good spading or cultivating gives your seeds bad start If the soil lacks in the elements required for plant growth them by means of artifical or natural fertilizers Crops have to be planted with an eye to taking advantage of every inch of space in the garden, yet prevent over croWding. Successful backyard gardeners even rotate their crops or have succession crops When one planting has produced and is exhausted another of the same or different plant family will be coming along.
 Through all the productive season an endless battle must be waged against the forces that prevent or retard plant growth or kill off the bud of fruit. Weeds must be kept down by constant cultiva- ton or eradication. Plant pests must be controlled by spraying or dusting. If drought strikes water must be supplied. Your backyard garden can be profitable in crops attained and good health main1- tained, but not by pleasant contempla- tion from the back veranda of your home. The results are equal to the labor in- volYed

in Congress a proposal to set up 8 wo- mems army auxiliary corps, perhaps most of us have assumed women would just go on being wives and mothers, serving in the home, bolstering the morale of the soldiers, and serving as nurses with the armies and in the hospitals.
 But we have utter faith in the women of America to arise to the need when they see it. Our mothers and our grandma might not have worked in munitions fac tories, but they had what it took when the emergency became plain to them. We have only to cast a brief glance backward to the deeds of our pioneer women in help ing to blaze the trail through the wilder ness to know that they will not fail.

Why Those Japanese Jitters?

The Japanese government hints that it would view with concern the sending of American supplies to Russia. Japan and the United States are both at peace with Russia, and there would seem no good reason for the Japanese to be concerned with Russia's strengthening her&lf.
 Did not Russia and Japan onApril 1S, 1941, mere four months ago, sign a solemn treaty, undertaking 'to maintain peaceful and friendly relations between them and mutually respect the territorial integrity and inviolability of the other contracting party? They did. .,
 Did not that treaty add that should one of the contracting parties become the object of hostilities on the part of one tracting party will observe neutrality throughout the duration of the conflict? It did. Why then object to neighbor nation strengthening itself against ur- provoked attack, when you are bound to that nation by so beautiful a tie of friend ship?

Poets, Farmers, .Microphones

They have saying, in the corn coun- try, that on hot August afternoons you can "hear the corn growing" It seems true, too, in the midst of the endless fields of corn in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana or Ne braska, that you can stand still and be conscious, in some strange way between hearing and feeling, of the up-thrust of the greening stalks. Keats must have felt something like that when he wrote of "a little noiseless noise among the leaves, born of the very sigh that silence heaves"
 A Nebraska radio engineer, with mod ern scientific skepticiSm, set micro phone capable of magnifying sound 2,50O times beside stalk of hybrid corn growing nearly six inches day. Listeners cooked eager ears, fancied they heard faint "shshshshshshsh." Farther from the stalk, the microphone picked up no sound. Not quite proved, scientifically. But if it were, it would prove nothing that poets and farmers haven't felt and known for long, long time.

Price fixing is like a four
 legged chair" Baruch warned
 them. "It won't stand on two
 legs or even three."
 There is no use regulating con- Sumer prices, he said, unless you regulate profits, also wages, also farm prices. If one of them gets out of hand, the others will too. Baruct, who was head of the War Industries Board in the last war, has been harptng on this point for months. He urged Con- gress more than a year ago to adopt a very high excess profits tax to take away all the war prof Its from industry; and at the same time he urged the President to clamp down on wages as well as prices.
 The President actually got little irritated at Baruch's pounding away on this theme. Today, however, chief resentment of the farm belt is not so much against Roosevelt's urging that farm prices be kept down, but over the fact that labor's income has skyrocket- ed while the farmers hasn't. Fur thermore, the farmer complains that he has to pay a lot more for his labor-when he can get it at all--but he can't increase his farm prices proportionately.
 BRITISH RED TAPE
 "There'll always be an England" but U. s. flyers now trying to save India are wondering why. Bri- tish officials in India don't want them to enter India until 31 days after they have taken yellow fever shots. By that time the Japanese, who don't have to observe the 31 day rule, may obviate the need of U. s. flyers going to India at all.

Don't Worry About the Women

Some of our national leaders have be- come concerned about the part American women are taking in the war. Mrs. Eli nore M. Herrick, regional director of the NLRB in New York, has urged that the government proceed at once to take 1n- ventory of our resources in women. recent Washington report showed that of five million workers in war plants in this country only 10 per cent are women. This aS ContraSted to the waning days of the first World War when 25 per cent of the nine million workers were women. InaS- much as it is expected that Is million workers will be employed in war produc ton jobs by the first of the year, Mrs. Herrick suggests labor registry be con- ducted without delay. The problem of labor shortages in defense industries al- ready is on us, with so many men march Nng off to war.
 We commend Mrs. Herrick's idea of seeing what we've got in the way of women workers, but we hope she doesn't S0rTy too much about the possible failure If our feminine folk to bear their share. Ne may be complacent, but we feel she @ going to be bowled over by the response If our womenfolk, once they know exactly what the needs are. That, we feel, is all taat is really necessary-tell the women about it, and watch them sail into things Much has been said recently of how the women of Russia are driving street cars, kvisses, tractors and locomotives, piloting planes, toiling at blast furnaces, helping Io produce weapons and ammunition They have won praise for their heroiSm pn the battlefieldS and tending the woun- led in hospitals.

It does not hold the union reg oor1sible for bad faith. Bullying tactics, bluff and threats can never create con- fidence in an intention to reach an agreement from compulsion and prejudice.
 Leaders of unions local and ma tional must be held responsible for the exercise of their duties and for the consideration of the interests ot their members.

There seems to be no lack of interest among local real estate developers ill new home construction. Judging by recent articles in the newspapers there should be a tremendous amount of building going on locally within the next few months. All of which is healthy sign because the type of homes which are being planned are definitely permanent. That's quite ln contrast with the federal housing projects, of which we have two. They seem to be the subject of considerable controversy right now, but obviously situation pre- vails which never could be avoided. If you go back few years it may be recalled that local realtors and many others, too, opposed housing projects of this type. It was pointed out then and it seems to hold true now that what communities like Waterbury need are not more housing projects, of a more or less temporary nature, but small homes that can be bought as life investment,
