Discomfort or Defeat

It is a somber picture which the Pres iIent's special committee on rubber, headed by Bernard M Baruch, has painted. It is discouraging in two ways. First, because it verifies completely the analyses which this column has presented editorially on several occasions, pointing out that through 1943, at least, the most rigid civilian economy in rubber Will scarcely suffice to keep the fighting machine going. Second, because the re- ports very mildness and avoidance of personalities emphasizes the terrible fumbling which has bedeviled the rubber situation ever since the Japanese struck at Pearl Harbor. It is difficult to imagine an error of omission which those charged with protecting the national interest, in connection with rubber, have not com mitted.
 The Presidents ready acceptance of the report and his promise to implement IL immediately is the best that can be oone at this late date. Meanwhile, however, 1t is desirable that the people be on guard lest some of the same befuddled interests which have insisted = against all 1act and logic - that there was no rubber emergency, should cause further damage by removing sentences from their context and misquoting the report.
 The committee recommends that more rubber be made available for civilian tire replacement and recapping. But let no scatterbrain persuade you that it IS all right to burn up your tires in needless, reckless driving When anybody cltes that recommendation to you, fling back at him the next sentences of the report: sMore rubber to those who need it. Less to those who don't" The replacementS and recapped tires are not intended TOT pleasure drivers. "Let there be no doubt, remember, "that only actual needs, not fancied wants, can or should be satisfied.
 Need is not for the pleasure of driving through the fall countryside. Need is not to toss ones golf clubs in to the rumble and dash off for a spot of relaxation, or to drive to the bridge party instead of
 walking or taking the bus. Need IS TOT getting men and women to and from the factories where they are making arms and armaments; for delivering the goods of war and the commodities of suoslst- ence.
 With all that can be done, the best we can hope by the end of 1943 ranges rom d very small surplus to an actual deii- ciency for critical military use. Discom- fort. or defeat, are the alternatives offered us. We will take discomfort with grin'

A Thought for Today
Two Minds Agreed

Now that the Democratic State Con- vention is over and the candidates are named, it becomes apparent that prior to the activities there were two minds with a single thought. We refer to the somewhat concerted action of the mayors of Hartford and Waterbury in removing themselves from the Attorney General nomination race Some time ago it be- came more or less evident that party leaders would look with favor on the can didacy of Mayor Vincent A. Scully for this office. After deliberation and con- sideration he declined on account of the pressure of municipal duties.
 Monday in Hartford Mayor Thomas J. Spellacy, who had been mentioned as last minute candidate, stated that his first duty was to the city and to those voters who had supported him and put him into office Even if offered the nom- ination he stated that he would have to decline it. That is much the same way that our own mayor felt about 1t and ex- pressed himself privately and publicly when queried on the subject. Running a big city like Waterbury is fulltime job at any time, but more so in war times. No one can say that Mayor Scully hasn't been on the job often A hours a day and seven days week.
 While it would be distinct honor for him or for any Democartic mayor of Connecticut to run on the same ticket with our illustrious war governor, the Honorable Robert A. Hurley, still there are duties to constituents and citizens which transcend any personal glory or gain that might come from an advance ment to state office. We believe that such position, an honest one, will merit community approval

Forceful Utterance

The Governor Robert A. Hurley who took the platform yesterday to accept his second nomination from the Demo- cratic voters of Connecticut was a far different one from the untried public of- ficial who came before the state conven- tion two years ago in New Haven. And two years ago after notable triumph to secure the nomination Gov. Hurley went on to victory. Can we doubt that he will repeat the performance this year? Ger tainly not after hearing or reading his speech of acceptance.
 Gov. Hurley has come far in the past two years. He may have been an untr1ed candidate in 194O, but in 1922 he is a vigorous, forceful, intelligent official who knows the status of his own common w-alth, what part Connecticut has to play with other states in the great war, and how best to meet all the complex situations that arise. No more proof of the fact that he has achieved universal re- spect and liking among Democrats was needed than ex-governor Wilbur L. Cross endorsement yesterday when he rose to his full height to acclaim him
 It was said of Gov. Hurley two years ago that he rode into office on the RooSe- welt coat-tailS. He may well swing the entire Democratic ticket into office this fall on his own personality. his own pop- ularity with the rank and file of the vot- ing public, and certainly by his intense efforts to give Connecticut the best gov ernment possible during these trying times. If he was strong candidate for the Democrats in 1940 he is immeaSur- ably stronger today. It will be consider able of a task for Republicans to over throw him.

Hidden sources of salvageable materials are now being probed. According to re- liable reports Army engineers will short ly undertake stupendous job, namely, combing the bottoms of many of the na- tion's navigable rivers to raise material that has sunk in them down through the years. This should serve tWofold pur- pose. Not only will there be plenty of scrap recovered, but there will be much improvement made in the streams them selves. Already mentioned for such work are the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Ken lucky, and Tennessee. Why not go even further than that and see if the grappling or dredging expeditions couldn't be ex- tended to other sections of the country where there are navigable rivers. In an effort to speed up or facilitate such work all old records pertaining to sinkings in the above mentioned streams are now be- ing closely consulted Pretty soon the salvagers will have river map, well-dot- ted with probable underwater caches to explore. The results should be good; the work not too expensive.

hustling young businessman from Atlanta, Georgia, who knew noth- ing about red tape, spurned bu- reaucracy and went around say- ing exactly what he thought of people who seemed to be lying down on the job. Result: He made a lot of enemies, but he got an awful lot done for little business.
 For instance, he discovered that only three companies fin the entire United States got all the contracts for putting boilers in merchant ships. Other cOm- panies were ignored even when they were much the lowest bid der. HoIcomb jumped into this with both feet. Now little firms get 8 chance.
 In scores of other cases Holcomb went to bat for little business. Dut he stepped on too many peo- ple's toes, so now little business is minus its best friend in Wash ington.

September can always be relied upon to produce hot spell such as we have been enjoying this past week. October is apt to provide extremely warm weather, too, in moderation, but when you get a warm spell in October or November, it's usually tempered by the fact that the nights will turn off cool September, though, can produce hot spell that will equal any August or July can bring. This wasn't particularly overpowering sea son from heat angle. And maybe it's leading up to cold winter, for many prognosticators claim that they see signs on every side of a tough winter ahead Bird and animal activities occasion the prediction.
