First Step

In accordance with its announced
policy of halting all construction
work not directly essential to the
war effort, the War Production
Board recently issued stop work
orders on a number of Federal pow
er projects now building. Similar
orders for housing and other ac-
tivities have already been received
and obeyed by private firms. If they
had not been obeyed, heavy penal
ties would have been imposed.
But what has happened in the
case of the Federal power projects? ?
The answer is simple and brief:
Not man laid down his tools.
These projects of the power social
lists, by order of the Secretary of
the Interior, have been continued.
Here is typical example of the
country-be-damned policy that has
guided the public ownership cam
paign from the beginning. Abuse of
public trust and disregard of pub
lie welfare have been the rule ra-
ther than the exception. A vital in
dustry has been made a plaything
of politics. And the public has paid
the bill. Taxpayers money has been
freely used under false pretenses.
of millions of public dol
lars have been poured into hydro
electric power dams from coast to
coast. But until a short time ago,
when the real purpose of these
dams was admitted to be the ulti-
mate specialization of the electric
industry, the public was told that
they were primarily for navigation.
flood control, and irrigation. Their
has been accompanied
by increasingly punitive legislative
designed to deliberately
squeeze the electric industry be-
tween subsidized government COM
petition and death sentence" regu-
lation.
War has brought no cessation.
The electricity flowing into our war
plants comes from an industry that
is battling against adversaries
seeking to change our form of gov
ernment. Socialization of the cleo
trio industry is the first step in
that change.

A Fair Request

The railroads hope that they will
receive authorization to purchase
vitality needed equipment-for NOV
ing the materials of war. But they
are not going to get any more
coaches or Pullmans. This, togeth-
er with. the fact that millions of
troops are being moved by rail with
full priority over civilians, is pro-
ducing a pinch in travel accommo-
dations.
Railroad managements have ask
ed the cooperation of the public in
meeting this problem. 1t should be
given wholeheartedly.
Don't travel unless it is absolute
ly necessary. If it is necessary, the
railroads will get you where you
want to go. But you should acquire
complete information about train
schedules so that most efficient use
can be made of available passenger
equipment. The local passenger
agent will aid in selecting the most
direct route, making reservations,
getting tickets in advance, and ad-
vising what day of the week is best
for travel. If a trip is called off,
reservations should be cancelled
Immediately. You should travel
light and check personal baggage
through to destination except that
which is needed in transit. When
ever possible, purchase a round-trip
ticket. 1t saves time all around.
The railroads are serving more
than twice as many meals in dining
cars as last year, and more diners,
like more Pullmans, are unobtain:-
able. Therefore. don't linger over
meals. Above all, remember the job
the railroads are doing in this
emergency, and be tolerant of in
conveniences.
Public cooperation can go far
toward solving the problem of war
time civilian rail travel. That is why
the railroads have requested it.
Failure to cooperate will simply
result in more regulation, more re-
strictions. more rationing-mea-
sures which, though often neces-
sary, are still obnoxious to the av-
erage citizen.

No Short Cut

William M. Jeffers, rubber czar,
recently struck hard at loose and
careless" talk about the rubber
problem. The rubber problem is
not licked; there is a definite rub
ber shortage; there will be tires
for all only if the most cstringent
measures are applied and received
with 100 per cent cooperation on
the part of the public. That is the
grim truth.
There is no easy short cut to rub
ber conservation, or to the pro-
duction of more rubber. "The facts
are" Mr.. Jeffers said, that the
Japanese cut off 80 per cent of our
supplies and that as a result the
United States is COMPRISING into
two years the building of a tremen-
dous synthetic rubber industry
which ordinarily would take a doz-
en- years to build
"The greatest reserve supply of
rubber we have in this country is
in the million tons of rubber in the
tires of our passenger cars and
trucks. We must stretch that mil
lion tons as far as it will possibly
go-and maybe a little farther"

Painless Ruin

Government borrowing, accord
ing to a recent statement of the
Secretary of the Treasury, will
amount TO between S7,000,000,0 900
and $4,000, 100000 during Decem-
ber. He emphasized that as much
as possible of this gigantic sum
must come out of the current in
come and savings of the people, "
rather than from the banks.
The reason is plain. Borrowing
heavily from the banks means more
imitation, because it creates new
credit. Borrowing directly from the
people is an effective brake on in
fiation. Unfortunately, it is easier
to borrow from the banks-which
is only one step removed from print
ing greenbacks-than it is to go to
the already burdened taxpayers.
The politicians have so far taken
the easiest way with little objec-
tion from the people. However, the
cost of total war is so great that a
day of reckoning is close. We can
painlessly" stuff our banks with
governmental obligations until our
money and our savings are destroy
ed and the war effort imperiled, or
we can dig into our pockets and
our standard of living with the real
ization that the war must be won
the hard way. ~'
The banking industry has stead
lily opposed unlimited government
morrowing from the banks. The
bankers have worked ceaselessly to
sell War Bonds directly to the peo-
pie. They have sold over so per
cent of all such bonds in the hands
of the people. Thanks to their eff
forts, the inflationary trend has
been definitely slowed.

An Even Break


1t will take hundreds of millions
of manhours to do the paper work
and policing if we put the war
economy on a wholly compulsory
basis. This was the gist of a re-
cent announcement by Boake Car
ter, noted commentator. Mr.. Carter
then suggested that voluntary mea-
sures be tried. They worked in the
last war. Why not this time?
Most of the restrictions will be
in the retail field: food and cloth
ing, necessities which now go in
large quantities to our allies and
the military services. And although
the task that would be imposed on
the retailer would be staggering,
the record shows that he will gladly

Tubeless Tires

was skeptical but tests of these

interest.

Board and the War Council are

companies are making them. and
some companies are showing in ad-

tically all cases. these voluntary
controls have been accepted whole
heartedly by the public. One of the
reasons for this wide acceptance is
the fact that modern mass distribu-
tion is a closely integrated indus
try. Similar controls are in effect
in all sections. Particularly is this
true of the chain systems. Coffee in
Kansas is no more expensive than
coffee in California. Likewise, ra-
tioning of pineapple juice is not
confined to one or two areas.
Regardless of whether the con-
trolls are voluntarily established by
the merchant or enforced by the
government, public cooperation is
essential if the consumer is to get
an even break in the distribution of
scarce commodities.

To Win the Battle Of Peace
By j. E. JONES

Senator Wiley of Wisconsin has
proposed that the Senate and Pres
ident set up a Council to map out
and agree upon terms of peace af-
ter Victory. The Senator correctly
assumes that the Senate should
participate in the deliberations of
the United Nations.
Under the Wiley plan the Gov-
ernment of the United States, and
by that is meant the President and
the Congress, would be in posi-
tion to negotiate a peace that would
meet with the approval of the peo-
pie of the United States. That would
insure ratification of the treaty of
peace even if a two-thirds major
ity was necessary. However, con-
stitutional amendment may be
sought so that the Senate could
approve a peace treaty by a ma
jority vote.
The refusal of the Senate to rati-
fly the Versailles peace treaty was
due to the fact that President Will
son put through his own plan, with
out consulting the Senate. The leg
islative group rejected Wilson's
treaty, and the United States with
drew from the League of Nations
before it Joined. America lost the
peacei
Such tragedy might be repeated
after the present war if President
Roosevelt should choose to exercise
all of his constitutional powers the
same way he has done all the way
through the present war.
All Senator Wiley asks for is a
definite program at the peace table
to insure ratification. He insists
upon the principle, and not upon
details.
The main point is that the plan
should be developed and consum-
mated before it is too late-as in
1919.

The merchandising industry, led

Every effort has been made by

other items. Limits often have been

Hollywood, July 3 - CU.P.) = Comedian George Jessel, A, said to- day he and Lois Andrews Jessel, 18, had decided on trial separation, but anything like a divorce certain ly isn't in the cards"
 Jessel moved into the Biltmore Hotel while the showgirl he married when she was 16 remained in the tiny home she took when she came to Hollywood for screen tests.
 The separation and signing of Miss Andrews to a long term picture contract by 20th Century-Fox were revealed almost simultaneously. Her first picture will be a musical.
 "The house was too small for the two of us" Jessel said, land anyway 1t never was intended I should live there. We may get a bigger place later, but we'll see how this works out"
 We've quarreled, but that's all," Miss Andrews said. The Jessels' eight-month's-old daughter remain ed with her.
 Jessels romance with the young shoWgirl was in the public eye from the time it was announced until Jessel suffered partial stroke on their honeymoon.
 Studio officials predicted Miss An- drews would be cast in darmatic roles soon. They said she definitely is star material"

Two men were jailed today by Judge T. E. Conway in municipal court on charges of assault and breach of peace resulting from a brawl Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning in Library Park.
 The two, Frank Dalesio, 21, of 605 North Riverside street and Nicho- las Sorriero, 39, of the Stag Hotel, were arrested with three others on complaint of Peter Guglielmo of Oak street who said he was robbed of $24 during a fight with Dalesio.
 Three others arrested in connec- tion with the same investigation: Raymond Knapp, 21, of 4 Sperry street, arrested on suspicion was given a nolle; Michael Lacondrata, 33, of 553 Walnut street extension charged with breach of peace was given a nolle and Mrs. Natalie Fla herty, 26, of 487 Meadow street was found guilty of disorderly conduct.

 NOW PLAINTIFF
Defendant in Recent Will Case Sues to Collect
 Insurance

Stephen w. Robinson of Water bury, who as defendant in the Lorenz Buck probate appeal case last week received superior court jurys verdict in his favor, filed an action in common pleas court today to recover on an insurance policy of the late MT. Buck. Tn the com- plaint filed against the New York Life Insurance Company, MT. Rob- inson claims $2,000 policy taken out Decemfe CT IS, 1922 and assigned to him by MT. Buck on April 27, 1940 has not been paid.
 MT. Buck instituted an action in superior court March 27, 1940, one month before the alleged assign ment of policy, in which he sought to have the will of his late daugh- ter, Mrs. Anna Buck Robinson, overruled. By terms of the will, Stephen Robinson, her husband, was named sole beneficiary to her $30,- 900 estate.
 Two superior court juries have upheld the validity of the will, the last decision being returned last Friday afternoon, the last day of the superior courts spring session. A jury which heard the case in December, 194O, likewise upheld the will but the supreme court of errors found an error and retuned the case for a new trial.
 The appellant, MT. Buck, died November 4, 1941. Prosecution of the will litigation was assumed by his daughter, Miss Minerva Buck of West Cheshire. A few days ago her counsel filed motion to set aside the jury verdict of last week.
 The matter of insurance policies was brought up by Atty. Edward Mascolo, counsel for the appellants, during the trial. He pointed out that the son-in-law had taken in- surance policies from MT. Buck making him allegedly totally de- pendent on his needs from him and Mrs. Robinson. No provision was made for the father in the will.

taxes of 6.7%o are 8 limited form of a withholding tax applying only to wage-earners, not including farmers, small storekeepers, self-employers, and many of the professional classes, etc., of whom there is a total of some 12 to IS millions in the United States.
 In the case of those now paying personal income taxes it would con- Stitute double taxation, unless cre- dit for 8 deduction from an income tax were allowed. To the extent that it anticipated an income tax it would require the payment of more than one years taxes on earnings in the first year of its application.
 A Sales Tax is fairer than with holding tax because 1t allows the in- dividual discretion as to his expen- ditures and savings, and thus to a greater extent withdraws him as a consumer contributing to imitation. A 10% withholding tax, on the other hand, woulc cazSst ::--.e715abiy sea6 to 8 demand for a 10% increase in wages contributing directly to infla- tion.
 Every other country at war has found, including Great Britain, Ger many, Russia, and Japan, that it can only obtain the funds necessary for this war by 8 tax which requires a contribution from everybody, every producing and consuming man and woman. The income and tn- heritance taxes now constitute 75% of all Federal revenue raised. One- sixth of the population bears the burden of these taxes, while the re- maining five-sixths are competing to purchase and consume between 70% and 7596 of the consumers goods necessary to sustain human life. Here is where great surplus of purchasing power exists. It has double the capacity to absorb and pay for consumer goods of the total of all other groups and 1t has been the least affected by war taxation.
 A general retail Sales Tax, to be effective, should be subject to no ex- emptions except on Governmental purchases. To do so would defeat It's purpose. It should be minimum tax of 58o on the essentials of life, with the higher rates up to 159o, which are already imposed on luxur- les.
 The President, in his address of April 27th, said, "the achievement of Victory in war and security in Peace requires the participation of all the people in the common effort for common cause.
 By no other possible tax can we secure as great a contribution of all the people for the common cause as by a general Sales Tax.

FARM RIVER SOLD
 BY ELM CITY MEN
State Board of Fisheries Buy Fishing Rights From
 WaltOnian Club

Hartford, July 3. - The State Board of Fisheries and Game an- pounces the purchase from the Waltonian Club of New Haven of the fishing rights on the Farm Riv- CT and it's tributaries situated in the towns of North Branford and East Haven.
 The Waltonian Club has con- trolled the fishing privilege in the major portion of these streams since 1870, and its acquisition by the state will ensure continued pub lie fishing. The Waltonian rights covered about six to eight miles of very popular trout water, and for the past ten years have been man. aged by the State Board of Fish cries and Game under lease from the Waltonian Club. G. H. Scran- ton of New Haven, president of the Waltonian Club, negotiated the purchase with the state.
 The Farm River has, for the past several years, yielded the largest brown trout caught in New Haver county. Since the stream enters di- rectly into tide-water, sea-rur browns returning to the stream from a sojourn in salt water art quite frequently taken and ar' highly prized by the angler. Thi! new acquisition is in line with thu boards policy of purchase and leas' of fishing rights in the better trou streams of the state in order to pro vide for continued public fishing.
