Connecticut Cainus

In an age when the moulding of the character of the youth of the country is so important Connecticut welcomes into the state the first Jesuit school to be established here. The school, to open next fall is located at Fairfield and will be known aS the Fairfield College Prepar- atory School. The former Jennings and Lashar estates will provide the buildings and grounds, the former to be known as Bishop McAuliffe Hall, the latter as Car- dinal Bellarmine Hall.
 This state has always prided itself on it's high type of preparatory schools. They rank with the best in the country Right in our own neighborhood, so to speak, we have Taft School and Cheshire Acad- eny, and not so adjacent Canterbury School and HotchkiSS, as well as many other schools in other parts of the state, all of excellent scholastic standing. The usual high type of training is planned for the new Jesuit school, described as "a course in liberal studies"
 It goes without saying that the school will materially add to our educational structure in Connecticut, especially at this time. Boys of high school age will have the advantage of Jesuit training which assists in the forming of the boys character, giving him sound religious tu- toring and inStructing him in the neces- Sary curricular studies which will perpare him for his subsequent higher education. Connecticut undoubtedly gains by this valuable addition to it's important list of preparatory schools.

try. This is understandable for any, one who consistently reads Social Justice" or listens to and believes Naz radio propaganda, but the real facts are given in a recent editorial in P. M., where it is pointed out that in twenty years work neither the Communists nor their fellow travellers have got one of their members into the Presidency, the Cabinet, or the United States Sen- ate. While there have been occa- sional fellow travellers ia the House, probably in some State Legislatures, and in some labor unions, they have never controlled any important committee ic Congress. a State Leg islature, City Council, or had in,- portant positions in any appreciable number of unions.

SOVIET UNION REGARDED Al TREMENDOUS ASSET
 TO WORLD

Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 Recently your Tn Today's Mail'' contained a number of letters up- holding Coughlinism and taking the Nazi propaganda line toward Com rnunisnl. As regards Coughlinism it. self, its leader is disposed of by his implicit admission of sedition in failing to appear at a public hearing to answer the charge. But perhaps these letters deserve comment. It is interesting that out of four such notes only Frederick J. Mrazik has the courage to sign his name. "A Reader" on April 9 and "semper Fidclis" on April 20 attack Mr. Ho- race D. Taft's recent public stste- ments regarding CoughIinisrn. A bit- ter anonymous attack on the con- munity's leading and most respected citizen merely demeans the writer and anyone who pays attention to his drivel. Both letters are full of apti-semetic hatred, and make no serious attempt to show that MT. Taft's statements are wrong, MT. Fidelis shows his ignorance or care- lessness when he refers to an opin- ion in the United States Supreme Court by Mir, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, JE, as given by "chIef Justice Holmes"

At least there is one civic body that is taking issue with realtors over the dis puted point of what should be the cell ing date for rentals in defense area According to the OPA this date for most of Connecticut is April l, 1941, but real tors, say, and they have a good argu- ment, too, that the ceiling date should be as of the current year.

Sound of Heart

Upon reconsideration, it develops that the American heart is not the impotent, cratic organ we had been led to believe. The draft system has discovered that a lot of young men rejected for cardiac dis orders merely were nervous and excited. Out of the first two million examined, a hundred thousand-one out of 20-were rejected for cardiovascular deficiencies or, if you please, bad hearts. . three had any real pathological cardiac flaw. With the rest, the heart merely wasn't acting quite as the doctors thought it should. Often re-examination under different circumstances showed that there was no real trouble. Maybe we're not so soft as Hitler thinks On sec ond though, we know we aren't. Re member Bataan? Remember Corregidor? Remember the Coral Sea?

Why even in little old New York the busses aren't going to stop oftener than at four-block inter vals. IT'S to save gas and tires, you know.

Time to Hoard Coal

Slowly but surely gas rationing is go- ing to be felt throughout New England. There may seem to be just as many cars on the road right now as in the days when the sky was the limit on travel, put you'll see in few more days that more people are walking to work or utilizing the public transportation systems. .i By the end of the test period we're sure the ration plan will be making itself felt very strongly.

ment said the poW-WoW would consider vacation and other war problems affecting the union. But that was only window dressing. Lewis secretly has far more important business up his sleeve. He's bent on venting his fury on Murray and the CIO.
 Inside word is that charges of disruption, disloyalty, etc, will be placed against Murray before the Policy Committee-Which Is made up overwhelmingly of hand-picked Lewis henchmen. Also that long list of complaints will be made against the CIO.
 Purpose of the two moves will be to lay the foundation for oust- ing Murray as UNIV vice-presi- dent and for withwraw1ng the UNIV from the CIO.
 MURRAY SUPPORTERS
 Murray plans to attend the meeting. So does Van A. Bittner, head of UNIV District IT, and Pat Fagin, of UNIV District 5, both .staunch Murray friends.
 Bittner has been in Lewis's bad books since the West Virginian refused to knuckle down and go along with Lewis when he bolted to Wendell Willkie. Several months ago, at a UNIV Executive Board meeting, Lewis ir1stigated an investigation of Bittner by a hand-picked committee. Nothing more has been heard of this ma neuver. but 1t is expected to pop up against at the Monday con- ference.
 Bittner and Fagin are tough fighters and veterans of many union wars. With any kind of a chance, they'll give Lewis plenty battle for his money.
 DIVIDED COUNSEL
 But the big question Is what kind of a chance Murray and his packers will have.
 To begin with, the Policy Com mittee is stacked overwhelming against them. Most of the mem bers owe their good-paying jobs to Lewis and as he has long dem- onstrated, he is absolutely ruth less with those beholden to him who don't do his bidding.
 Secondly, there is a division of views within the Murray camp on the course he should pursue.
 Some are advising that he go
 before the Committee with a
 blasting denunciatiOn of Lewis
 and then resign, Others are
 urging that he denOuuce Lewis,
 but stick it out and defy him.
 These advisers contend that for Murray to resign would be play ing squarely into Lewis's hands; enable him to make the claim that Murray didn't dare face a show down. On the other hand, by meeting Lewis head on, it Is arg ued, Murray would force Lewis to carry the fight to the UNIV rank and file, to whom the nli'asr chief would have to justify his isolation ism, his attacks on Roosevelt, and his recent attempts to raid other unions,
 What Murray will do Is his
 secret, But if Lewis starts Rpy-
 thing, the fur WilI fly hot and
 furious,
 N0TEI Government authorities view the disturbed internal UNIV situation with concern, They fear that if the fight goes to the rank and file, which Is tough, jpder pendent and battle scared, the battling may seriously retagd coal production, Authorities are 100 per cent behind Murray and jf be needs any help hell get all he asks. f0F-apd then some,

New aldermen are Joseph
Klun, Jr., and William R.

at seeking public office, topped
the field of 10 candidates for
alderman. He had 929 votes.
Porthan polled 832 votes to be
reelected to his second term.
Harri had an even 800.

Mayor Kapsch was given 1,105
votes, leading all other candidates.
Alderman Joseph Koschak ran sec
ond in the race for mayor, receiving
