termine which restrictions can safely be lifted, if only for the duration of the war.
 The situation has been rather thor oughly publicized. Illustrations of the ex- isting confusion are plentiful, sometimes dramatic, and typical rather than indl- vidually unique For example: Five hum dred truckloads of roofing material had to be moved from Birmingham, Ala, to an army depot under construction just outside Atlanta, Ga. In Georgia, each truck could carry approximately twelve tonsS net, In Alabama, each was llmlteo to about seven tons and half, net, Re suit, 200 unnecessary truck trips rom Birmingham to Atlanta.
 Again: several days could have been saved by trucking roof trusseS from Los Angeles to San Diego for the Navy de- stroyer base being built there. But the trusSes were 15 inches wider than state laws permitted on the roads, The high way department could have waived the limitation. It wouldn't, because trains run between Los Angeles and San Diego. So a naval base was delayed. A trucking company wasted whole day getting per- mission to haul gun-turning lathe over Delaware and Pennsylvania highways from Wilmington to Bethlehem. A con- cern specializing in 600- to t000-rnile hauls between New England and the south has to underload it's equipment regularly be- cause about 40 miles of the trip is through Delaware whose laws are less liberal than those of other states along the route.
 These are only few out of hundreds of authenticated illustrations = often more dramatic than the ones mentioned, but indescribable in the space available here - of the statutory confusion that exists. Some states already have recognized the emergency by liberalizing their statutes It is time all states got together on uniform code as liberal, so far as war shipments are concerned, as reasonable regard for highway safety will permit

What, No Stoves?

The latest WIPE ban forbidding the sale of stoves of all descriptions is more or less misleading anG we certainly nope it's a mistake To clamp down on such sales would be serious mistake, we think, particularly so at time when so many young men and women are con- templating marriage. It may be that some sections of the country are so con- stituted that the modren home can get by without stove, but up here in New England we're still old-faShioned enough to wonder what's home without stove.
 This ban, if it actually amounts to one, is more or less in the class with that on piping which, according to city officials, Is going to hold up and postpone defense housing because 1t will prevent water being piped into them from existing city mains. Defense areas, such as Water bury and environS constitute, should De given every opportunity to expand ana accommodate the thousands of workers needed to keep the local war effort on an even keel. If we're to be subjected to such limiting practices as the above, then there is apt to be, before long, serious disruption of community effort.
 There probably will be an explanation forthcoming before long on the situation. But until then we can only hope ana pray that 1t isn't so. New stoves are almost vital necessity even in the face of the utmost economy in use of various mater ials for domestic purposes. There Just are certain things that can't be done without, war or no war. And to win a war the community must be maintained.

A Thought for Today
The Absetee Vote

According to word from Hartford the office of the Secretary of State is endeav- bring to find out from local officials how many absentee ballots will be required for the November election, That's just about as anSwerable as the old query of "HoW old is Amp" In short it's virtually impossible to tell how many absentee ballots some of the larger communities will require this fall. In the small towns where the soldier vote amounts to only few and it's easy for election officials to find out their mailing addresses the task is an easy one, but in community like Waterbury, and we imagine ln smaller ones, too, it's a real job.
 The problem becomes all the harder because between now and November there will probably be steady stream ot iraftees leaving the city, of whom a goodly proportion may be presumed to 1e duly-registered voters of this city and others in the state. A rough guess, ot course, can be made as to the number ot local people in service and who will be absent from the state on election day, but it will have to be rough. However, this is only part of difficult task. The job of procuring the soldier vote is lar from easy.
 N lC lSll | COulpllCdGSu DuSlIlSSe' IAlae St using absentee ballots, but it's one that requires considerable aid from political organizations if it is to be at all success full or endeavor to reach all those ellgl- bio to vote Not only must the exact address of the potential voter be secured, but his voting address has to be checked against the voting lists to be used as of the election involved, which usually doesn't allow too much time for voting list changes. Lists of nominees presum- ably have to be furnished and means of returning the application for ballot supplied.
 No absentee ballot may be issued un- Hess proper application for the same has been made on the forms provided, all of which may seem simple to the officials up in Hartford, but actually when 1t comes to distribution and return of the same it's job requiring special attention and considerable clerical detail that 1can't be done overnight nor by one per son. If there is any volume of absentee voting you can be assured an actlVe political group has been hard at work.

 justice does not consist in punish. ment only, but in the creation ot maintenance of order. They have inspired our prisoners and officers with the American conception Of the dignity of the common man.
 But the tire shortage now deters Yale men from journeys to distant jailS: SO Parnassus seeks to enlist the aid of local educational institu- tons in the vicinity of each county jail. The response of Wesleyan llrll- versity and of Connecticut college is heartening.
 Now that our prisoners begin to grasp the great fundamental con- ceptions of American democratic government in contrast to the Nazi principals of slavery, our prisoners begin to. utter their personal desires to aid in the defense of our country.
 This is our great opportunity to inspire our prisoners with renewed loyalty to America, by giving them some share in our National De- fense.
 Never in history have Connecti- cut jails been so crowded, partly owing to thousands of men called 10 defense industries, and falling to qualify; or If employed, yielding to the lure of liquor.
 Besides numerous drunkards lost to self control, unless science and religion more gallantly intervene we find many able-bodied workmen and boys in our jails; and now our sherifEs wish to transform these previous grammar schools of crime, where formerly there had been no real expectation of the improve ment of prisoners, but rather the idea that they would continue in crime.

Rather than saddle" the town of East Haven with brand-new lake Judge John c. Fitzgerald in the New Haven Court of Common Pleas refused to upset de- cision of the towns Coming Board which denied construction concern the right to erect "wet" sand classifier on its own property. In the trade such a machine actually would be more of factory than anything, else. Also its use would result in creation of a lake, presumably one that would grow with continued use. As a matter of fact in the course of argu- ments presented for and against the con. struction of classifier it was claimed that eventually the lake formed by the waters pumped out of the ground would spread over most of the 13 acres involved in the premises. All of which. evidently East Haven residents didn't fancy and the final authority, unless the appeal IS carried higher, seemed to concur in re- fusing to allow lake to be created within the township.

Editor, Waterbury Democrat:
 America is at war. Labor and capital join hands, Industrial mech a n isms are transformed. Housewives salvage paper, alu- minum and tin.
 Connecticut sheriffs begin to sal- wage men.
 Tn his Fairfield county farm, Sheriff Platt succeeds in raising farm produce, and aims to redeem damaged men. Thirty-five thousand dollars covered all his initial costs the first year. including rent Of land; $500 for machinery, truck tractors, fertilizers and trarsporta- ton of building supplies for an ad- ditional building erected from the cellar Up by prisoners.
 Fifty dollars a year paid for rurl- ming the daily truck between jail and farm, with twenty-seven pris- oners, all under one guard; not the same men always, but different men, to give as many as possible the improvement of outdoor labor.
 Sheriff Platt says we discovered a variety of means for training men on the farms. We placed one or two blacksmiths in factories; we answered calls of employers for us to supply a carpenter. a mason, Q painter, plumber. besides drivers for tractors and trucks for farmers. We arranged for Federal Farm Bureau agent, to supply instruction to the men, in the science of agri- culture;;' so that when farm hands leave us they know more than the common laborers do."

New Code Needed

The long-standing fight between rail- roads and trucking companies once had only academic and long-range interest for
 those on the outside. Now the contro- versy, or more specifically its effects, has become very important. Restrictive state laws, enacted often to protect railroads against the competition of trucks, are tIl- terfering seriously with the effective util- ization of trucks, tires, gasoline and man. power in moving war material.
 The question now is not whether rail- road or truckman shall get particular moving job. The problem rapidly is be- coming one of finding means of moving vital war products in hurry. Also, insofar as we must and do use trucks, there is the need for making every pound If rubber. every gallon of gasoline, every hour of man and car usage produce a 1raxlmum of results. It becomes, then, tile patriotic duty of every state to re- examine its trucking statutes and de-

Ships That Go Down

News from the seven seas becomes in- creasingly distressing. Axis submarines are sinking our commercial tonnage tas-- ter than we can replace it. Germans and Japanese have whittled away our naval superiority. Vichy collaboration, an i'm mediate possibility, would strengthen Hit lers position at sea.
 Under such circumstances, we may have to reconsider priorities on war production, and allocate more of our materials and manpower to ships. We can't win war by training and arming men unless we can transport them to the scenes of action and maintain them while there.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-04-22

If the Office of Defense Transportation has its way about 1t, there won't be any further fooling around with the clocks this summer. In short it doesn't want another hour tackled onto the war time program for fear of disrupting railroad schedules throughout the East. As a matter of fact 1t might do more than that If the present war time is allowed to con- tinue throughout the year there's no doubt but what 1t probably will do as much good as setting clocks back two hours for only few months of , the ,: year o The present system of daylight saving time is all right; we don't think there's enough to be gained to set the clocks ahead another hour.

 The issue is over the charge that certain employer members of the Board are deliberately stall- ing disposal of major labor cases affecting war production.
 Precipitator of the showdown Is Dean Wayne Morse of Ore- gOn University law school, twO- listed. talking public rep resentative on the Board. Prin- cipal of MOrse's fire is Walter c. TeagIe, tall, bulky chairman of the board of Standard Oil of New Jersey and an employer member of WLB.
 The long-smoldering controv- ersy came to head some days ago in connection with the Inter- national Harvester case. This case had been pending for near ly a year. Finally Morse demand CT that the WLB render a de- cisIon, threatening to resign and issue statement bluntly telling why he quit unless the Board acted.
 Under this challenge the Board got down to business. After most of 8 day of dickering, Teagle fin ally proposed that the matter be held over the following weekend on the possibility that split de- cision could be ayerted. This was agreed to.
 During that weekend most of the employer members of theWLB had a secret pow-wow at which they debated what stand to take on union security, the basic issue involved in the Harvester and number of other pending major cases. Participants in this conference later told other WLB members that an agreement on the compromise" union member ship maintenance" formula could have been reached but for Teagle.
 It was stated that the oilmen vigorously objected to accepting this proposal and blocked an ac- cord.
 When the WLB resumed de- Alterations on the Harvester case, TeagIe again proposed delay. He urged that the controversy be returned to the complaining union and the company for an- other attempt at negotiation.
 NOTE: WLB members claim that Fowler Mccormick, head of Harvester, expressed private will irlgness to accept union member ship maintenance" in his plants. THE SHOWDOWN
 Morse blew up at the Teagle plan and waded in with both fists flying.
 He bluntly accused the oilman and his employer associates of diIatory tactics that were ham, pering the war effort. Morse con- cluded by charging them with act- ing not as impartial arbiters but as management agents.
 The scorching blast drew indig- nant protests from T2agle and George Mead, president of the Mead Paper co. They co1tended that their function was to repre- sent management. MorSe's reply to this argument was to quote a statement made by another man. agement member, Roger Lapham, president of the Ainerican-Ha- waiian Steamship O., that the

 'Tt was my understanding that we all agreed with that" said Morse. "NOw you tell me that you aren't judicially -lnind- ed arbiters. but special pleaders. If that's the way this Board IS to operate then you can count me out
 Morse had his way. The Board issued a union membership main- tenance" decision by a split vote of 8 to 1.-the four public and four labor members making the majority and Teagle and the three other employer members the dis senting minority.
