new adjustments and only those who
can make the adjustment survive.
Changes in circumstances are con-
stantly wedding out the ineffective
and enabling those of valiant heart
and keen mind TO achieve. When
new highways 60 through our lives,
we have to learn how to move our
resources out to those highways, I'M
less we are willing to atrophy and
die
Let us be prepared in the days
which lie ahead for the new high
ways which will run across our lives
everywhere. An old order is appar-
emily coming to its close. How pic
turesque and quaint were the roads
of that old day, how. inviting the
homesteads along their narrow
courses. But new highways are be-
ing built, and we must adjust our
lives to them.
Only let us be sure that they are
the highways of the Lord and not
the highways Of seltishness and sin,
of tyranny aIN repression.

VOICE OF AMERICA
The German public is now get
ting U. S. radio programs over
standard wave lengths for the
first time since the fall of France
in May, 1910.
For close to two years, the only
way the U. S. could reach Nazi-
dominated Europe direct by ra-
dio was via short-wave. AS short
wave sets are scarce there, Amer
lean broadcasts had a very linn
tied audience. Listening could
cost listeners life.
But now CoOrdinatOr of In
formation Donovan has arranged
with the British BrOadcasting
System, to broadcast American
contemporaries programs.
These are written in French,
italian, German, though American
in style, tempo anG content are
telephoned across the Atlantic to
BIS, which rebroadcasts to Eu-
rope over standard wave lengths.
Although these programs have
been under way only a short time,
it is significant that the various
Nazi Lord HaW-HaWs' consider
them important enough to begin
a campaign Of violent denuncia-
ton.

Battle OF The Streets

1t begins to look as if there might be
withdrawal of the ban on all-night park
ing along city streets. Judging by the
outcome of a conference between tne
Board of Police Commissioners and Board
of Aldermen the former authority seems
inclined to rescind it's order, but with
the understanding that ultimately 1t Will
be invoked, perhaps when warmer Wea-

So through forces over which they nave

NO FUNERAL JUST YET
(Meriden Journal)

Special significance in the recent
election OF Republican to Congress
by the Fifth Connecticut District is
seen by George Rothwell Brown vet
eran Washington political cores
pendent. He writes:
The Republican victory in Con-
necticut should allay the fears OF
those who have been saying that the
two-party system in this country is
obsolete, and that no Congressional
elections would be held at all in No
vember of this year . The people
not only are going to continue the
Congressional system but it seems
very clear that they are. determined
to strengthen and augment the min
GRITTY party in Congress"
To further confirm this outlook,
the writer cites the election on De-
cember 8 of Republican in a Col
orado Congressional District that
had been Democratic for 80 consec-
utive years.
These elections may not indicate
a definite wind direction for the
coming general elections but they
do show that the people will not
hesitate TO send a Republican to
Congress even if it is said, as it was

They lett no DOUBT Oh their re-
sentiment and distrust of the IRON
handed miner car
That CLIO chiefs privately were
anti-LeWis long has been no Sc
cret in labor circles. But only
recently have they been so out
spoken.
Inside reason for this is that
the big CLIO unions, once heav-
lily In debt to Lewis, are now out
of hook.
FOR EXAMPLE,: When Il. J.
Thomas became president Of the
United Auto Workers several
years ago, the union owed Lewis
United Mine Workers $165,00O.
Today, not only has Thomas
paid off this debt but the JAW
has q surplus of S75O,0OO in its
treasury.
Similarly the powerful Steel
Workers once owed Lewis a big
chunk of money. Now it, too, is
out of debt and has fat bank
balance of its own.
In fact, the only CLIO unions
still in Lewis debt are some OF
the small leftWing- controlled
nuisance" unions that Lewis set
up when he was CLIO boss and
was waging a bitter raiding war
against the AFL.
From the current independent
attitude OF the CLIO chiefs it is
apparent that much OF Lewis for
mer strength in the organization
. was based largely on their de-
pendence on the purse-strings
which he controlled as ruler of
the United Mine Workers. AS
long as The CLIO leaders had to
borrow from John L. they had to
60 along With him whether they
liked his policies or not. But
now that they are financially
free, they are displaying their
real feelings.
Labor insiders say that Lewis
is aware of this changed re-
latiOnship and that this was
one of the chief reasons for his
sudden passion for AFL-CIO
peace. Lewis, they say, re-

WAR TIME

WAR TIME
CBy Jean M Crayke r. N in the Boston PosD
An hour of light, To make planes,
Will go each day, That top the best,
To make for war OF enemies,
Times ends way Which now lnfest
To carry on: Our countrys shores
And build us ships, So use it well,
So speed them on This extra time,
To fight the foes When war Goes end
Who came at dawn, The call sublime,
To Hawaii Will show the way.
And tell how,
To it then,
For times own peace:
No matter when,
We end 1t all!

Almost without exception eastern
states are putting the speed limit on al
highways down at 40 miles. We've done
that in Connecticut; neighboring New
York has also done the same as mas
Massachusetts. It's a good thing to en-
force this rule, because nothing burns up
rubber like high speed And car owners
are going to find themselves walking one
of these DAYS if their tires give out.

sored the first bill in Congress to
take the profits out of the manu-
facture Of munitions of war?
A. The first measure of this kind
was introduced in 1921 and was

plish that purpose was made i'll

by Senator Gerald Nye (endorse5
by Senators Bennett Clark Bone
Vandenberg and Pope and anoth1r
by Senator Connally, with the ap-
proval of the Senate Finance Com
mittee. Identical bills were into

tives Maverick and Lister Hill
None of these measures was passed.
