leads to conviction of persons for deliberate crime of violence or sabotage which causes the death of permanent disability of any employe of factory where defense work Is going on. Where the injuries are not so serious or dam age is done only to the plant itself the reward for evidence leading to conviction will be S2000 All of which means that you can't just come forward with a wild story of suspected sabotage. You've got to have the facts with which the case can be built
 However, the mere fact that Hartford is willing to protect it's many defense in- dustries and their thousands of employees is sufficient to discourage sabotage ef- forts. There's no doubt as the war pro- gresses there will be subverSive move ments throughout the nation. We must be prepared for them just as we are now preparing for attacks that will lay low both civilian population as well as our plants. An alert citizenry is the best de- fense. It isn't hard to remain alert when your home, your loved ones, your future existence depend on it.

Fortnight Addresses

Monday night was high-lighted by the speech of President Franklin D. ROose- welt during the course of which he urged Americans to make every effort, to make every sacrifice that the war may be won. Just prior to the Presidents address those who attended the Washington Birthday Dinner in New Haven, held by Democrats of Connecticut, heard one of the best speeches that Governor Robert A. Hurley has ever made during his pub- lie life year ago his speech was acclaimed for it's common-sense and courage His 1922 one surpassed it in every respect.
 Putting politics aside for the moment he stressed the importance of united effort in Connecticut to help win the war. However, seldom has he gone so far as to take to task another public official as he did Monday night. After all the good things said about U. s. Sen. John A. Dana her at the Republican dinner in Water bury honoring Representative Joseph Tal- bot the formers ears must now be ring ing from what the governor said about the junior senator and his isolationist stand. The governor might have simply referred to Senator Danaher's stand, but he chose to label it as something more than politics.
 Take, for example, this remark of the governors when he summed up the effect of the isolationist campaign. C.. At the bar of history they will be brought to book for the thousands of lives, for the billions of treasure, for the months of agony which the delay they have caused will cost us. Only a serious state of affairs, which all of us should now admit, would cause him to make a statement like this before such large gathering Governor Hurley Democrats may boast of, is not afraid to speak his mind and his mind is set on making Connecticut an integral part of the federal machine in the fight for free dom.

Yale Shows the Way

Tradition has it that early-day stu dents at Yale University chopped wood, cleared brush and worked in the fields around New Haven to meet expenses and make the place every bit as attractive as, say, that school at Cambridge, Mass. We'll, the sons of Eli will soon be doing it again. President Seymour of that vener- able institution reveals Yale will require all students to take physical training to equip them for service in the armed forces.
 Of course there will be baseball swim ming, tennis and other familiar sports, but after working up good sweat at such sissy" pastimes these fellows will be put to chopping wood, digging ditches, saw ing wood and other quickHenry arnica" activities. Sure, we're soft, men, tally and physically, so it's good to see Yale lead out in campaign to make flabby muscles as unpatriotic as Warbling the Horst Wessel' song at a defense bond rally
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-02-25

We don't suppose that there ever will be a satisfactory answer given to the question raised every time the Democrats decide to hold money-raising dinner about the presence of state employees at the affair This year was no exception. Republicans called attention to rules and regulations regarding contributions of state employees to the Democratic Party. Retiring Personnel Director Harry Marsh has given about as satisfactory an an- swer to the question as we've yet read. In effect he says that state employees would be prevented from exercising cer- tain prerogatives as citizens if they were restrained every time they showed cer- tain political preference. The law seems to be very strict, though, in bannng class flied service employees from contributing towards anything that is of political sig nificance And there's no doubt but what the dinners are political. But no one seems to believe the law was meant to apply to Democratic or Republican din ners. At least political leaders don't think so.

IN ALL-OUT WAR NO FAVORIT- ISM CAN BE SHOWN
 TO ANYONE
Editor, Waterbury Democrat.

Editor, Waterbury Democrat. After hearing the appeal of MT. Morganthau, Secretary of the Treasury of our country, for an all out effort to win the war, I am wondering if all of our citizens realize what all out or total effort means and also if they realize what total war means.
 Part of the war aims of our country has a great deal to do with the post war period and both MT. Churchill and MT. Roosevelt have expressed determination to pre- vent future wars and that aim makes 1t necessary to first defeat all of our enemies so decisively that they will accept our harsh terms.
 The United Nations will be satis- fled with nothing less than the un- conditional surrender of our enemies and their submission to permanent armies of occupation International Police) as q guarantee against fur ther rearmament and new wars.
 These war aims of MT. Churchill and MT. Roosevelt which some of the best minds in the world con- slider unwise and impractical, are also well known to the Axis Powers, who have entered into an all out effort to conduct total war to pre- vent this happening to them.
 AS our enemies have always copied our methods and in many cases improved on them, is it not wise to assume that the Axis Powers will be satisfied with nothing less than our unconditional surrender, and the maintenance of their armies of. occupation for the purpose of pefpetuating their new order?
 These thoughts bring me back to MT. Morgenthaus plea for an all out War effort, to conduct a total war. The meaning of the word total is known to the average child in the lower school grades, but seems to have lost it's meaning to many Americans, including MT. Morgen- thau.
 MT. MOrgenthau recently stated that tax exempt bonds would be taxed and short time later decided that the United States will not tax outstanding bonds. The outstanding bonds, state and local, amount to more than twenty billion and be- cause they are tax exempt the United States is losing two hundred million dollars annually.
 So far the only ones who really know the meaning of "all out effort and total war" are the common working people, people whose lives and money were spent in raising families and future soldiers.
 When the proposal to tax bonds seemed imminent, Senator Taft of Ohio did not favor the idea. Said Senator Taft, Quote "Such pro- posal would be unfair, If adopted to the persons who have purchased the bonds In good faith, believing that they were tax exempt" Ill those words the Senator exempted bonds and bond profits from mili- tary service.
 l can remember when two presi-

dential candidates running on two almost identical platforms, each promised in good faith, to a public that listened in good faith that our boys would not be sent out of this hemisphere to fight all over the world.
 Now I realized that conditions have changed, our possessions have been attacked and 1t is now neces- sary to send our boys to protect our possessions and those of our allies. Did Senator Taft say that it would be unfair to our boys who were promised in good faith, and voted for a certain candidate, be- lieving that they were exempt from foreign service? No, a thousand times No. Military exemptions are only for bonds and bond profits and the average holders of these bonds.
 On December ', 1941, about three thousand American Mothers and Fathers went "All out" for a Total War" effort, when they lost that many sons at Pearl Harbor". Are bonds and bond profits more sacred than our boys? Should not bond go to war also?
 Our leaders are asking for tota. war effort, but so far have not shown leadership as it is only the poor and near-pcor who are sacri- ficing everything from sugar, tires etc, to their sons.
 MT. Morgenthau says that this 1! not 2 per cent war, but his ac- tions give the lie to his words, and in this country we should be willing to buy non interest bearing bonds bonds that would pay no profits and be glad to pay $100 for a bono now and get back only $l00 for i after the war.
 If the spirit of true American patriotism prevailed, it would no be necessary to pay profits ant bonuses to purchasers of bonds profits on the blood of our men.
 Why can't our leaders be of tht same caliber as Washington, Adams Jefferson, Lafayette, ard Stueben who gave their fortunes for fret America and who did not fight or percentage?
 Why is it that the small people including children who buy defens, bonds and stamps are to receive

Nearer to Home

According to Col. Samuel F. Fisher, Connecticut Defense Administrator, this state can expect to be bombed within the next few months. We presume this must be reliable information for we don't think that Col. Fisher would make such q state ment just to scare people into taking the proper blackout precautions However, the majority of us don't seem to be con- cerned or scared about the prospects of being bombed. At least there are no signs of panic. And we don't think there will be.
 On the other hand if the defense ad- ministrator knows Wha. he is talking about we should spend a lot of time henceforth in getting ready for these attacks. Ours is not the duty of driving off the invaders. We'll leave that to the military authorities They should be capable of doing this, seeing as how they are prepared for the very worst. But civ ilians have lot of lessons to learn, the first of which is to lose their bump of curiosity when enemy planes start to make their presence known.
 We are the darndest people for want ing to see what's happening. Under nor nal circumstances a bomb crater in the center of the city would probably tie up traffic for couple of days If it is our lot to have our community bomb-pitted we hope it will have the effect of causing mast of us to dig in. Life will continue to pursue it's course and everyone should try to fit himself or herself into the pie ture of a bombed area. Civilian defense aides know what they are supposed to dc The rest of us should let them do 1t.
 All the tasks that are coupled With bombing raids are now being apportioned among volunteers By the time the raids come, if they actually do, Waterbury should be pretty vel organized for the worst. There is a lot of satisfaction in just knowing this There will be more if everyone falls into line when the time comes and performs the duties assigned. No confusion, no disorder, complete agreement with official procedure. That's the job ahead of us.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-02-25

The states recreational needs aren't going to be overlooked in this all-out war effort. There will be every consideration given to the need of providing means Of recreation for workers during the com ing warm months. However the best laid plans along this line may meet with defeat if wartime restrictions hit the car owners. If there is gas rationlng plan put into effect this summer there won't be very many factory workers using their cars on Weekends to take trips around the state. And those whose car tires aren't too good won't be putting lot of extra mileage on them So, if recre- ational programs are going to be kept up this year it will be the areas close to the big defense centers that will attract the crowds
