PasquaIe Amato

PaSquale Amato who belonged to "the golden age" of the Metropolitan Opera in New York, will long be remembered for his many outstanding roles. He retired from the opera and concert stage some years ago and has since been head of the vocal school at the University of Louisiana. Amato was distinguished musician; likewise he had the dramatic instinct and his performances in the old days at the Met brought forth braves. His baritone voice was pleasing and powerful and he used it to best advantage in familiar baritone ariaS such as the Toreador Song from Carmen" the Largo al Factoum from "The Barber of Serville," the Fri Tu from "The Masked Ball', and many other favoriteS.
 Many record collector still possesses the important one in which Caruso, Tetrazinni and himself featured in the famous Sextette from Lucia.
 Amato, we have been told, made the same success of his teaching out at Lou isiana State as he did in his professional performances. The opera presentations each year at the college were important events and considerable good opera ma terial was selected from students in the voice department.
 Waterbury was privileged to hear Amato more than once. He came here in years gone by under Paul Prentzel manage ment, immediately captivating his au dience with his dynamic and pleasing personality which added to fine hand ling of his voice gave pleasure to all. He made his debut at the Met in "Traviata" in 1908 Pleasant memories will always be associated with the name of Pasquale Agnato.

Don't Lose Them

This business of losing your gasoline or sugar rationing card is serious one. And such being the case the authorities are devising ways and means of main- taining thorough check on the same. If you have ever followed labyrinth in one of the amusement parks you'll know just what it is to get new ration card after losing your original. The unfortu- nate person pursues devious course, somewhat long one, too, and not until 1t has been followed is he assured that the rationing board will seriously consider granting new card.
 However, don't cuss the rationing boards for making it so hard to replace the lost articles. It's merely an effort to protect the public from victimizing It's very easy for somebody with an elas- tic conscience to report a sugar or ration card lost only to discover it later on. Or the Host" article may be even repoSlng within the dstraught applicants pocket when he "sobs" out his story to the off, cials. Much as we hate to say it there are those who think nothing of acquiring more than their own fair share of ration books.
 To circumvent all possible evasions of the law and to outlaw the lost or stolen articles certain steps are now prescribed which may seem unnecessary but cer- tainly will protect all concerned The best advice is not to lose your ration card. Keep it on your person or in some safe place. Don't leave such cards in your automobile where they may be obtained by light-fngered individuals.

Air Cargo

Undoubtedly there is a strong senti- ment in favor of expanding our present small air cargo program. This is true not only of laymen, who are intrigued by the sensationaiism of the idea, but also among many top men in our planning organizations. Grover Looming, aero- nautical engineer who is consultant to the War Production Board, has been talk ing air freight as solution for our ship ping problems for some time.
 The real psychological impetus came, however, when Henry J. Kaiser, wonder man of the shipbuilding industry, pro- posed that we turn nine shipyards into air freighter plants. Donald Nelson, tell ing Kaiser to go ahead with 800 flying boats despite reported opposition from the Navy, has given the program it's big gest push Nelson had said that we could have action any time proponents of air freight demonstrate that they can obtain the necessary ray materials without 1n- terfering with bomber and fighter plane production.
 It may prove to be significant that in that statement, MT. Nelson did not reject the diversion of materials from water craft to air freighters If we are to go into an air freight program, to avoid submarine activities, it can be done only at the expense of the merchant marine. In view of the shortage of materials and of plant, we are called upon to make choice = either ships to be sunk at sea, or planes Co take their chances in the air. We can't have both in adequate quantities.
 Nobody can predict certainly what the

Commander-in-Chief

Majority opinion appears to be that General George D. Marshall now chief of staff, may become commander-in-chief of the United Nations forces. On the basis of his record and known capabilities, probably General Marshall rates the post. There are those who believe that Douglas MacArthur has earned it. Many, in and out of the Army, consider Lieutenant General Walter Krueger as our best field commander.
 But for top man in the anti-axis army we need somebody whose personality and record will invite enthusiasm not only from soldiers and the American public, but also from the people of every United Nation and neutral in the world. Mar shall does that.

Mayor Jaspeh McLevy of Bridgeport took notice of the absentee voting law the other day and issued public state ment in which he urged servicemen to make use of this form of voting for the fall election However, the mayor will have to do more than merely urge service men and others eligible to use this form. So far as we can see there will be thou sands of American soldiers deprived of their right to the franchise this fall simply because it won't be possible for them to make proper application to their respect i've communities, receive and get back in time the ballot forms. Less than three months now remain before the Novem- Der election. Soldiers out of the country certainly aren't going to be able to ex- change two communications with their own Town Clerks in that period. We think those men and women are defi- nitely excluded from the November elec- tion right now and only strenuous efforts will prevent many servicemen and women in this country from being similarly treated in the next two months.

Germans and Japanese would be able tO do to interfere with air cargo. Aviation experts are convinced that losses would be much less serious than they are by sea. Kaiser, whose achievements thus far entitle him to respect as a prophet of production, believes that nine shipyards, turned to making 7O-ton flying boats, could begin work in six months and be in full production in 10 months. Thence forth, Kaiser believes, those yards could make the air freighters at the rate of 5000 year.
 Others, even more unconventional but fully conversant with aeronautical Sci- ence, urge that we concentrate upon 200 ton air freighters. They sad that 10000 such would replace all the ships now available to the United Nations. And ob- viously, their greater speed and flexi- blity would be desirable. We could do worse, in this crisis, than lay aside our fears of the unconventional and give every aspect of this radical air cargo proposal a lot of sympathetic study.

AN ABLE MAN
(Hartford Times)

l NS@~SS -~N~~~~S
 No appointment which Governor Hurley could have made to the va cant Republican minority place on the State Liquor Commission proe- ably would have been more unex- pected than that of Attorney Fran cis Rohrmayer who lives in West Hartford and whose office is in this city.
 That is not because MT. Rohrmay- CTS ability as 8 lawyer and stand ing as citizen is not recognized, but because he has hitherto been cotent to confine his relation to public affairs to being an observer, albeit in that capacity keen and understanding one.
 MT. Rohrmayer is veteran of the Bar. He has, in many cases, partic- ularly those involving constitutional questions or interpretations of the City Charter, shown 8 strong grasp of fundamental principles. He has been little identified with partisan politics. Indeed, he has been regard ed as a liberal thinker along politi- cal lines.
 Former Mayor Joseph H. Lawlor who was elected in 1914 was then a young lawyer in MT. Rohrmayer's office and was his political protege. MT. Rohrmayer was keenly inter ested in MT. Lawler's candidacy and in the very excellent administration which followed his election. There has been lively interest in the filling of this vacancy and some have seen evidence of factional ef- forts to persuade the Governor to make an appointment acceptable to a particular group. From the fact that Senator Leon RisCassi prac- tices law with MT. Rohrmayer, some might conclude that such factional suggestions were behind his appoint ment. Perhaps they were, but those who know MT. Rohrmayer will not take seriously any suggestion that this identifies him with any particu- lar group. It is too well known that he stands upon his own feet and does his own thinking.
 The new appointee is an able

Don't Wait Too Long

If a large proportion of those in the eastern states who can will convert oil burners to coal furnaces soon, they need not be cold next winter But here's a thought for those who plan to wait and see what happens The transportation lines ability to move enough coal de- pends upon early orders, so that deliver ies can be made before the cold weather rush begins.
 If too many wait too long, there will be a jam, and even coal will be scarce. Those who delay will suffer, and will be responsible for the suffering of others who had enough foresight and initiative to act promptly.

you would have in the state tomor- row, you must put into the mind of the child today" And he was seeing to 1t that the mind of Ger man youth was being molded in the way with which the world is all too familiar at present. Napoleon came and went: but Fichete, Hegel, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche. the teachers of Germany. were creating the Germany of Bismarck, the Kaiser, and Hitler.
 This should be a lesson to us. both as citizens and as Christian believers. Tomorrow is fashioned on the basis of today's teaching of youth. If we fail to teach our chil- dren good things. the world will see to 1t that they are taught evil things. If we would build for to- morrow, we must do 1t by wise and careful teaching of the youth of today. The teacher, not the mili- tary leader. has the last word.

The picture of our state finances con- tinues to grow rosier. Right now accord ing to figures of Comptroller John M. Dove show an all-time high for the cash balance in the general fund. On July 3l it touched $12,887 ,691 This is more than twice as much as it was year ago. It certainly is encouraging to all Of us who are at all concerned with the gov- ernment of our state. When Governor Hurley's first term ends this year he will more than have fulfilled his promises to the electorate that put him in office In 1940.

U. s. Naval raids on the Gilbert and Marshall Islands were hit and run affairs. There our Navy had no idea of enemy strength, but depended on quick surprise htis and speedy withdrawal.
 In the battle of the Coral Sea also, we were able to take the Japs by surprise. And in the battle of Midway, we knew the enemy was coming, while the Japs did not know we knew.
 But in the Solomon Islands battle, our reconnaissance planes had made advance surveys and we knew fairly accurately the size of the enemy-knew also that we were up against tough job that would exact heavy cost.
 There is every reason to beleive, too, that the Japs knew about our preparations, because troop trans ports cannot be loaded and brought within striking distance without enemy scouting planes planes sighting them. Therefore, this was real test in more ways than one.
 For instance, this was the first time land, air and sea forces all cooperated in 8 single striking force.
 Upon the final outcome of that cooperation vii, depend whether the United States follows the ad- vice of many high Army Navy strategists and concentrates more on thme Pacific than on Europe. CAPITAL CHAFF

Selected Poem
THE LILIES OF LIDICE

(Percy MacKaye in the New York Times Tn Lidice the lilies SOW Of dye wherein mot Solomon Tn all his glory was arrayed." In Licide the lilies SOW Their seeds of ire whose prison Breathes from earth's heart: Be not afraid! Be not afraid! The orgies of hate Devour their own obscenities Hacked by the terrors which they are. The ires of forging love create Their own immortal images To make anew what demons mar. Be not afraid! With ashen soil Scorched by the raging tyrants' glare In boast of Christ His overthrow, Despoilers but themselves despoil To quicken loam of beauty, where In Iidice His lilies blow.
