William s. Parish, had given the House Committee. After he had finished one page, Fred Willkie almost jumped down his throat.
 "Aw, that's just advertising
 that Standard Oil Is spreading all over the country" he said,
 we're not interested in that. We want facts"
 Then Dr. Donald B. Reyes, WIPE assistant chemical director, joined in. MT. Wlllkie has given us the details of how his plant is making rubber. He has shown every step of his processes, how long it takes and how much 1t costs. What we want from you is the same thing regarding the Standard Oil process
 You gentlemen are merely looking for something which is already in this building" Frolich shot back. We have given you our process reports and there is no need for me to reveal any, thing
 Look here,' shouted Dr. Reyes. You're telling me the information is here. work in this building. know 1t isn't here. And if you don't want to give it to us, we'll find out our selves how your process works
 "Yes,' continued Fred Willkie, T understand that you offered your formulas to the entire coun- try through the Justice Depart ment's consent decree. So let's have them"
 FACE REAL RUBBER FACTS
 After this almost every scientist present jumped on pr. Frolich. The process they wanted was cov- cred by German rubber patents owned by Standard Oil of N. J. and l. G. Farben-patents which were cOmpelteIy tied up until af- ter Pearl Harbor. The discus sion continued for sometime. In the end Dr. Frolich became very meek. But he never did give the cost and time estimates of his company for making rubber by this process, despite the fact that this is the basket in which Jesse Jones has placed most of his rub Der eggs.
 NOTE:--The meeting definitely agreed that it was absolutely nec- essary to drag out into the open all the hidden cata on rubber, no matter how distasteful to the pub lie.
 BACK BREAKERS
 An American diplomat return. ing from Italy tells this revealing story about the true sentiments of the Italian people.
 In his office at the U. s. En- bassy in Rome one day he found a clerk, an Italian girl, crying. When he inquired what was wrong, she rsplied: "Oh, I'm ashamed to be an Italian. You remember what boasting the Fas- cists did about the Greek cam paign? They said, we will break their kidneys" But everybody knows who really beat the Greeks; 1t was not our army; 1t was the Germans. But now--have you seen the poster on the streets this morning?' And the girl broke into tears again.
 The diplomat looked outside at the poster, which that day was appearing ali over Italy. It showed
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-07-22

a Greek soldier lying on his face, with a steel bar across his back. On top of the bar was the. Fascist insigne, and on the side, the swas- tika.
 The caption read: we said we would break their kidneys. Mus s0lini is always right"
 NOTE-All reports from Italy tell of growning disgust with the Mussolini government, and a growing hatred of the Germans. But the people are too cowed to revolt.
 NO-CHAUFFEUR ARNOLD
 Trustbusting Thurman Arnold halls from the small town of Lara mic, Wyo., and he doesn't see any reason why he should hire chauffeur to drive his car. So he drives it himself.
 One evening, after he and Mrs. Arnold had been dinner guests of Mrs. Evalyn (Hope Diamond) Me- Lean, they were going out the front door, when the doorman said, in his most elegant manner, Shall I call your car, MT. ArnOld?"
 With dour expression on his face, Arnold said, You can call 1t, but I don't think it will come"

eSted in what God reveals rather than in trying all the, time to raise the curtain and peer into what god for some reason has hidden.
 What difference does 1t make what heaven IS like? Our job is to establish the kingdom of heaven upon earth. If we try to make the area about us celestial in kindnness, redolent with faith and spiritual expectancy, we will have plenty to do. Or of what practical value would 1t be to know when the ex- isting world order will come to an end? There was an implied re- buke in our Lords statement to His disciples (Acts 1:7) when He told them 1t was not for them to know times or seasons. The one unmis- takable teaching of the Bible is that we are to watch and always to be ready for our Lords return, no matter when it takes place.
 So Fenelon was right, was he not? It is better not to seek to know what God hides but to be faith fully attentive to what He reveals. All Rights Reserved - Babson Newspaper Syndicate

The Bay State problem is one of time: Under it's law no ballots may be provided until after October 12 This is on account of primary voting in the state. But if that's the case it would be impossible to supply ballots to those in far-away sec tors and have them returned for Nov. 5. Uncle Sam had better do something or else tell the soldier boys and girls it's too bad, but they'll have to fight this year and vote the next time.

Selected Poem
THE HIDDEN LIFE
(Perley A. Gilmore In the New Haven
 Journal -Courrier)

(Perley A. Gilmore in the New Haven
 Journal-Courrier) Born in lonely desert,
 A child of no mans care, Born but to waste its sweetness Upon the blighting air, A flower oped it's petals
 To the hot whitening sun, It seemed its life must perish Though scarcely yet begun. But nursed by unseen forces,
 And freshened by nights dew, It struggled ever upwards.
 In form and beauty grew; And although quite forsaken- A little Waif alone A sort of cheerful radiance
 Around about 1t shone. The Hand that rules all Nature, And holds the world in place, That clothes the hills and valleys, Gives thee thy charm and grace; And though thy hidden beauty No eye shall ever zee, Thou hast worthy mission,
 A perfect flower to be. Thou teachest us the lesson
 That we ourselves may shine Though by the world unnoticed- Some service ours to find; Thus shall we all take courage That thou hast lived thine hour The world thou hast made brighter, God bless thee, little flower.

Work Out On Worry Warts Labor Morale

There is a good deal of official worrying in high places of govern ment about the morale of labor.

(New York Sum

(NeW XOrk sum
 An officer of British ship tor- pedoed ten miles off the Florida coast on July 2 tells wh y 1t was easy for the enemy submarine: we could see the loom of a Florida port thirty-five miles at sea. That glow of light is just what those submarines want. I plainly sil- houettes any passing ship, making it an easy target for submarines"
 This is one more lesson in sup port of dim-outs or blackouts along the Atlantic coast and the need of enforcing them rigidly. It raised an- other point, however. Why not name the port whose lights gave aid to the enemy? Tn the present instance a number of Florida ports, presum- ably innocent, are left under sus- picion. This is not fair.
