Decorations for War Workers

The proposal of Cleveland's Mayor Frank J. Lausche to recognize outstand- ing production effort of war industry, workers by official citation is excellent psychology as well as an altogether fair appreciation of service. A mans pride in his work is a natural and admirable thing. And an appeal to that pride is stronger spur to activity than prods and threats.
 General adoption of Mayor Lausches proposal certainly would not end all abuses. But it's time we realized that there are heroes in the machine shops and on the production lines as well as on Bataan and the Pacific and over the Bur ma Road. Skill and resourcefulness and long hours of work will keep em rolling in this war of production. These are con- tributions that might well be recognized and rewarded.

 The Colonel Blimps who called Singa- pore impregnable said Russia would fold up under the Nazi arny'S first pressure. Sir Stafford didn't think so. He was in Russia as ambassador to the Kremlin when Hitler invaded He stayed in Mos COW when the Germans were almost with in artillery range. He returned to Eng the invader. He came back as a prophet with honor. He is the man of today in England. And somehow to the British people - and to other peoples = his homely face is shining symbol of better days to come.

A New Monsignor

Waterbury is honored once more m the recent announcement that the Rev. Leo M Finn had been elevated to the rank of Domestic Prelate with the title of Mon signor by his Holiness, Pope Plus XII. The honor is a becoming one both in view of Monsignor Finn's position as Supreme Chaplain of the Knights of Columbus and his priestly qualifications. But it will be accepted modestly as his friends well know.
 Waterbury has long been linked to the Supreme Office of the K of c. through the chaplaincy. For forty years this office has rested in the one family - first with the late Monsignor Patrick J. McGlvney, then with the late Monsignor John J. Me Givney, now with MonsignOr Leo Finn, their nephew Prior to that the inSplra- ton, the zeal, and the effort that gave birth to this great Catholic lay order came from the late Rev. Michael J. Me Givney, the first of the three brothers to become priests.
 Monsignor Finns contribution to the work of the K of C. in the short time he has acted as it's chaplain has been noteworthy indeed. His influence haS been a Steadying one. Here in his native city old friends feel that the toun- dation was built within the family home, the parish school, and the daily contacts from which Monsignor Finn has never been removed Not duty, but friendship occasions our recognition Of the rank bestowed upon him.

Confirming previous reports ex-mayor George A. Quigley has announced that he will ioust for the mayoralty nomination and election. We don't doubt but what MT. Quigley is the "runningest" man ln all political history. Surely he must sur pass Mayor Jasper McLevy's record Since 1914, the year the first World War began MT. Quigley has run for mayor 12 times. He won and lost the same number of times. We're not quite sure of the Bridgeport mayors record, but he set one for being deN feafed the most consecutive times, before he started to set up his run Of present consecutive victories. They make sturdy politicians here in Connecticut.

"The German club will never con- quer Italy"
 Americans of Italian origin are giving their lives and their fortunes to defend America. Tens of thous- ands of their youth are enlisted in the armed forces. Some have al- ready fallen. For these Americans there is an added reason for want ing the destruction of Hitler. The quicker the Axis is destroyed, the quicker will the burden of enslave- ment be lifted from the Italian peo- pie. Americas victory is Italy's freedom.
 As they helped in the building of America so will they contribute their share for its preservatl5.l. Italian American workers are vital to our defense industries, the mines, mills and factories. They will push pro- duction to the limit to guarantee that American boys are armed for victory. They will produce airplanes, tanks, and bullets, not only for our

DEFEAT FOR AXIS SEEN AS WISH OF ALL ITALIAN
 AMERICANS

Editor, Waterbury Democrat:--
 Americans of Italian origin stand united with the rest of the Ameri- can people to defend our America from the Fascist Axis. They de- nounce the treachery of Benito Mussolini, that miserable lackey Hit ler,l for dragging Italy into an un- necessary war.
 The Italian people have no quar- rel with either the American or Russian people. Mussolinis url- provoked declaration of war against America is the act of servant who must now obey the orders of his master. It completed the sub- jugation of Italy to the rule of Adolf Hitler. For the Italian peo- pie it is ruin, death and enslave- ment. the last desperately in the criminal career of fascism.
 The Italy which Garibaldi freed from the foreign oppressor is no longer a free nation. The people have been robbed of their dignity. Italian soldiers fight and die on distant battle fields without cause -as mercepary soldiers hired to the brigand Hitler. The glorious land of the Renaissance and RisoTgimerto is reduced /to dirt for the Hitler Gestapo to spit on. K Italian Americans gre honest, hard working people. Willie 1t is true that many were inislee to iden- tify the interests of Italy with fas- cisin, the treachery of Mussolini has quickly blasted this illusion. They now look with great pride to the peo- pie of Italy who are beginning to speak out more boldly against the fascist oppressors inspired by the glorious cry of the Garibaldi Hymn:

 Further, Mrs. Britt isn't the only member of her own family draw ing a government pay check. He husband, M. G. Britt, has a $3,2OO job in the food section Of the War Production Board
 His rise to this pay scale is almost as spectacular as was that of his sister-in-law, Mrs. Holmead.
 A little over year ago, before he became q McReynolds' son-in- law, young Britt was a messen- ger in the old OPM at Sl,O8O a year. He vigorously insists that his Success story" rise was not due to his marriage, and cites as proof the fact that his latest pro- motion was prior to his wedding.
 "T got it entirely through my own ability" he declares. MT.
 McReynOlds had absolutely nothing tO do with it. In fact, met my wife in December (l941), we became engaged two weeks later and were married in January"
 At the time he was making his meteoric rise, however, his future sister -in-law, Mrs. Holmead was . a high official in the OPM's per- sonnel office.
 The other two McReynolds' rela- tives on the government payroll are Mrs. Holmead's husband, drawing $3,800 as a Procurement Division employe, and his father John Holmead Sr,, getting $23OO with the Farm Credit Adminis- tration. With McReynolds' S1O,OOO a year, the combined take" for the family is $21,OOO. MERRY-GO-ROUND

P4IleS, W1leIe Jap piOpdSdIlQ
 That is why Macarthur or dered lot of propaganda leaf lets.
 Reports received here are that high Filipino officials have gone over to the puppet Japanese gov ernment much more than the pub lie realizes.
 Among them are the follow ing:
 CIarO Recto, formerly 8 Su-
 preme Court Justice, and for
 mer counsel for foreign gold
 mines, now new puppet Minis
 ter of Education.
 Jose Yulo, former Minister of
 Justice, and speaker of the
 House, now Chief Justice of the
 Philippines.
 Antonio de las Alas, a Har-
 ward graduate who was former
 Minister Of the Interior, now
 Minister of Interior in the pup
 pet cabinet.
 Speaker Paredes of the House
 of Representatives and former
 Commissioner in w ashington
 now reported in the cabinet.
 While some of these may have been motivated by necessity and 8 desire to protect the Filipino people by cooperation, neverthe- less the Jap's chief appeal has been on social grounds. The Japs have rubbed home the fact that Filipinos were not admitted to American clubs, and this caste distinction, at least with some Filipinos, has erased all of the excellent colonization, the pros perity and the virtual irdepend- ence which the United States had given the Filipinos for years.
 NOTE Intelligence reports from the Orient indicate that in some areas almost as much dam age has been done by Japanese social propaganda as by Japanese bullets. It had something to do with the fact that the British could not make a last ditch stand at Singapore. And 1t had agreat deal to do with the speedy Japan csc successes in Burma. Bur- mese even staged disastrous insur- rections behind the British lines. CAPITAL CHAFF

 WHITE HOUSE NEPOTISTS
 Capitol Hill isn't the only place in Washington where nepotism is practiced. Tn the White House, is William H. McReynolds. per- sopnel administrative assistant to the President, leading authority on civil service. and a career man who has been on the federal pay roll 35 years. McReynolds can expound by the hour on the glories of the merit system. But he also knows how to make 1t ., pay personal dividends.
 Four members of McReynOlds' family are holding down nice paying government jobs.
 There were five until short time ago. But one Of them, Mrs. John Holmead, daughter, quit her S4,0OO a year job recently. Previously, she had come to public attention by skyrocketing over- night from S1,SOO clerkship to personnel chief at S4,SOO.
