Press Comment.
THE GOVERNOR
Bridgeport Post)


 What the Democratic convention lacked in drama in renominating Robert A. Hurley and Odell Shep- ard for governor and lieutenant governor respectively. it made up in unanimity and enthusiasm. The lack of drama was due simply to the fact that there were no con- tests and that everything ran of smoothly.
 It could not be otherwise, for. after his two years in office Gov ernor Hurley deserved renomina- tion at the hands of his party and the Democrats would simply have stultified themselves if they had considered any other course.
 It is interesting to note that there was widespread demand in the ranks for the renomination of the ieutenant-governor, an un- usual phenomenon. AS rule. the people at large pay little attention to the second in command.
 At any rate, congratulations are in order. The meteoric rise of Bob Hurley in public life was deserved by his fine performance in the tasks which were originally en- trusted to him, first the manage ment of the state WPA and next the states own Public Works ad- ministration.
 The Bridgeport community again finds itself in the position of hav- ing to choose between three ina tive sons" for the office of governor. The present governor, former Gov ernor Raymond E. Baldwin of Stratford and Bridgeport's mayor will fight 1t out between them.
 Between Messrs Baldwin and Hurley on the issues of the war there is no dispute. since each as governor foresaw the coming of the war, urged his fellow country men to prepare for it and initiated definite steps on the part of the state itself.
 The issue here may devolve on whether the war is being efiiciently conducted or not. The Republicans this time have devoted their plat form solely to the question of win- ming the war, regarding this as the one issue which stands out above all others. The Democrats have paid some attention to state Issues but in the main the party prOni- ises are much alike. Both parties agree on what ought to be done.

Selected Poem

NIGHT WATCH
 (Carl John Bostelman In the New York Times) As shadows shut the waning moon away And wear fringed rims of silver from the night To leave . deeper drakness in, my sight, On this lone hill, stand and walt the day I trace the changeleSs pattern Of the skies, No intervals to count, no miles to measure; While Vaulted vastness and eternal leisure Enveop earth, no darkness aims my eyes At this night vigil. while 1 watch and sonaer How al the eertAinties ot time and place Elapse Co solitude and distant thunder, [ delve beyond horizons, Into space, To read the unsnhpeeted calendars or fate amid nights wilderness Of stars

Tn fact, suggestions from the outside in some cases have been bitterly resented.
 If, for instance, the Army Air Corps had not gone into a tan- trum over the suggestions of Major de Seversky, our flyers might not be having such tough time combating Jap Zeros today.
 Or, if the Bureau of Ships had not been so adamant in rebuffing Andrew J. Higgins, the New Or leans small boat builder, we might be better prepared for a second front today.
 But Major de Seversky is Rus- sian, speaks imperfect English, doesn't care how he offendS the Army. Air Corps generals, instead of taking his suggestions, did their best to avoid him. Yet he is a genius when it comes to air de- sign and the nation would be much better off had the army listened to him.
 Likewise, clustering Andy Hig- gins can be very disagreeable, likes to write insulting letters to ad- mirals, gets on almost everyone's nerves, but is a genius when it comes to small boat design. His ability regarding large 10,000-ton freighters, for which his New Or leans contract was cancelled, never has been tested. But for small naval landing boats, Higgins rates at the top.
 Nevertheless, because Higgins got on the Navy's nerves. he was rebuffed. And as result the positions of Russia, Great Britain and the United States today all have suffered.
 PREPARING FOR SECOND FRONT
 To get the full picture, it is necessary to remember that the second front today is the most important move of the war. Sta lin demands it. Roosevelt has promised it. It is the only way Hitler's armies can be split. In order to start a second front, it is necessary to land troops in Europe. For this modern, efficient landing, boats are essential. Fur thermore, these landing boats must carry tanks.
 To prepare for a second front. a meeting was held at the White House last spring, at which the Bureau of Ships was instructed to build a large number of tank landing boats as quickly as pOs-' sibIe.
 Prior to this White House con- ference there had been consider able rivalry between the Bureau of Ships and Higgins, as to which had built the best tank landing boat. The Bureau had designed it's tank lighter, and drowned up- on that designed by the bragga- docio Andy Higgins.
 However, as early as Aug. 4, le4l, one year ago. the commander of the Atlantic Fleet had report ed:
 "The importance of the fOI- lowing advantages of Higgins type tank lighters over the Bureau type Bureau of Ehlps) Is so great that tt Is Fecem- mended that no further con. tracts be awarded for additional tank lighters of the Bureau type. ..." BUREAU JEALOUSY
 Despite this, however. the Bur. eau of ships. jealous Of It's own @Bnraans design, refused 10 do business with Higgins. It felt, ace cOrdlng 10 Captain V. l.. RAwls lngk, 'ihas the nuFeau type 0f de- algn, alshowsh ig had not been
