 He had nothing to begin with but Q tremendous idea. He lived in a little town, worked at 6 humble trade, had no wealth. education. or influence. But he cIung to his idea and at last he got people to under stand it's importance.

Aircraft warning centers in this city from now on will not be so fully manned as previously. The local station was manned on a 24-hour schedule but this is no longer deemed necessary. The an- nouncement will meet with approval, we dare say, because the 24-hour duty did not seem necessary to many who felt this valuable time given by responsive citi- zens might be put to better use. The center up to the present time has given good service according to Wallace J. Inglis, chief observer, who himself has given no little of his own time in duty at the aircraft post. The new hours are not so lengthy and seem more in keep ing with the citys not too strategic location.

Navy Expansion

The Navy Departments report of it's three-year expansion may be discounted to some extent by it's studied effect upon the enemy, but this factor is negligible in view of what the people know of the Navy'S achievements both in conStruc- tion and in war participation.
 It was a small navy that sustained such a severe blow at P.arl Harbor - small, that is, in view of the task, then lnsuspected, which lay before it. It is admitted in the report that since Pearl Harbor the Navy has lost "a small navy in itself" But today the Navy has the "mightiest surface fleet in world history" and it has stepped up its acquisition of war planes from twenty-five in July, 1940, to nearly 2,000 in June, 1943.
 The extent to which the Navy has sup piled the needs of this war for landing craft is shown by its report that 1t now has more than 12,000 of these ships in commission. This record has been made against a bad start due to favoring a naval type craft that, it is alleged, failed to come up to the performance of a privately built landing shell.
 Thus within three years the United States has risen to the demands of a naval problem which existed from the time Japan renounced the 5-5-3 naval armament agreement. The problem was to provide the country with navy which could cope alone with any navy emergency in any part of the world.
 It is an amazing story of the country'S ability under stress of peril to exceed the most optimistic estimates of its power to exploit its resources of men and materials.

When the American Medical Association case was before the Supreme Court, Dr. Morris Fish bein pointed out to the ANA at- torneys that oral argument in the case would begin on Friday and continue on Monday. Therefore, he suggested that if their argu- ment didn't get across with the learned Justices on Friday, they should switch to new line on Monday.
 That's fine," replied the at- tOrneys, "but how are we going to find out how the justices like our argument?"
 That's simple" replied Fish- meln, "just see what they say to each other about it."
 And how will we listen in on their c0nversatiOn?" asked the intrigued, but puzzled, lawyers.
 "That again is simple" re. piled Fishbeln, according to Jus- tice Douglas version of the story. we will hire lip.readers to watch them"
 The lawyers confessed that the idea, though novel, was worth try- ing. So they employed two lip readers, brought them into court early and made sure that they had front seats. One hp-reader was detailed to watch one side of the bench, the other kept his eyes glued on the other side.
 The session on Friday was long and @ bit dreary. Except for Jus tice Felix Frankfurter, who ha- bitually fires long series of ques- tions at the attorneys, the Jus- tices kept solemn silent faces. Felix, as usual, kept up a barrage of cross-examination.
 Finally, Justice Douglas leaned over and made remark to Jus tice Stanley Reed.
 After it was all over, the Medi- cal Association attorneys gath- cred round the two lip-readers. AS Justice Douglas tells the story, the lip-readers were quite diScourag- ing. "There is very little to report" (they said.
 "But what did Justice Doug las say to Justice Reed?" asked the lawyers.
 "We're afraid it won't be much help to yOu," replied one lip- reader, but anyway here 1t is: Justice Douglas leaned over to Justice Reed and said: When Is Felix going to keep his - trap shut"

MAYOR MURPHY POINTS TO
 RECORD OF 12 YEARS
(New Haven Journal-Courier)

(New Haven Journal -Courier)
 Almost anyone familiar with New Haven affairs could have written the acceptance speech which Mayor John Murphy delivered last Sat- rday night in the auditorium of Commercial High School. This is not to imply that there was any thing wrong with the speech but rather to say that an administration which has been in office for 12 years is well knwon and has de- veloped a pattern of action which is a reliable guide for the practicable future.
 Mayor Murphy's achievements over six terms enter to a great ex- tent around the financial manage ment of the city, In the speech the Mayor stressed the debt reduc- ton from approximately $20 million to the present $l0 million the favorable tax rate of the city, which he said is the lowest of any of the sizeable Connecticut cities the wartime increases amounting to IT yer cent that have been given to city employees .. the progress being made toward adoption of actuarily- round pension systems for all groups employed by the city.
 The other main topic of the speech dealt with the emergency services that have been developed under the New Haven War Council for the protection of the city. The Mayor stressed the cooperative spirit of the many coluntary work CTS and expressed a desire to see these activities continue as long as the war lasts.
 The Mayor made it clear that he does not lock for an early termlna- ton of the war and therefore the best planning the administration can do ls to kesp ils financial posl-

The sermon preached last Sunday by the Reverend Philip Hussey at the Church of the Immaculate Conception and which the Democrat printed in yes terdays columns goes deeply into the subject of juvenile delinquency which we mention frequently in these columns. Father Hussey places the blame for the present rampage of youth on parents who set the example for their children by living anything but exemplary lives. The child patterns himself after the par ent. The clergyman pointed out that punishment should fall on the parents of the juvenile delinquent, so called.

ing to the people encroachments against these liberties.
 Particularly does the war high light the job which the newspapers are equipped to do. The task of transforming a peace-loving derioc- racy into a war machine could not have been accomplished without los- ing all democracy upless the press had informed and debated such is- sues as selective service, rationing, taxes, wage controls and many others. The drives to collect scrap materials, to sell bonds and to gam compliance with wartime regula. tons would hardly have succeeded without the newspapers to carry the messages to the people.
 In war even more than in peace It is necessary that the decisions of public officials be scrutinized for err TOTS of judgment, for selfishness and for over-zeal. Since public offices are filled by every type of man, democ- racy would not last long if they alone were the judges of their acts. Here one newspaper may be biased but the judgment of many papers is likely to point to the soundest so- lution that is possible in a democ- racy.

ARMY ADVISES HOUSEWIVES

ARMY ADVISES HOUSEWIVES
 The Quartermaster Corps feeds so many thousands of mothers sons that 1t now dares to tell these mothers how to prepare a roast of beef. Here is the advice:
 Experiments in Army camps shown that if you cook a roast at relatively low temperatures, you will have 20 per cent more roast at the end. Cooking at high tenn peratures shrinks the meat, and dries up the juices.
 According to ONO, the desir- able range of temperature is 3l5 to $50 degrees Fahrenheit. Cook ing an eight pound roast at this temperature wil lrequire 4 hours and ten minutes.
 In other words, 1t takes more time than at a higher temperature, Cat 400 degrees 1t takes only 3 hours), but you save the juices, save vitamins, and wil lhave more roast to slice.
 BRITAIN vS. RUSSIA
 One thing which distressed the Flying Senators on their round- the-world inspection was the in- tense rivalry between the British and RussiaIlS in the Near East.
 The Senator reported that around the Gulf of Persia, where the Russians take delivery on U. s. lend-lease airplanes, the Brit ish local commander at first refused to let the Russians set up a local lend-lease receiving agency. The Gulf of Persia long has been coveted by land-locked Russia as @ means of reaching the sea. Brit ish opposition presumably was based on this.
 Finally, the British government
 in London ruled that the Rus
 sians could send an airplane mission to the Gulf of Persia,
 but even then, the local Brit
 ish commander, according to the senators, delayed and tried to block the plan.
 Now, however, the Russians are established at the head of the Gulf and work in close coopera- ton with U. s. officials. To save manpower, the U. s. Army used skirted natives to assemble air. planes under the supervision of sergeants and doughboys. Then the planes are turned over to the Russians for inspection. In test flights, the Russians cruise all over the Gulf of Persia area, obvi- ously have ample opporeunity to man out the terrain,

This week local Jewry observe Tom Kippur, or Day of Atonement. This feast is one of the most sacred in the Jewish calendar, and follows closely the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashana observed last week. Tom Kippur, or Day of Atone ment, describes itself, the central theme repentance for individual wrong doing and determination to avoid sin. Devo- tions on the particular day of observance, Friday, October g, will consist in part in the chanting of the Kol Nidre. The pro- grams in order locally have been an nounced by the various synagogues. Prayer and fast are the two important individual acts of observance.

 What impression such a platform will make upon the voters will not be known with absolute certainty until the ballots are counted on the night of November 8. Until that time there should be no doubt in anyone's mind just where the Mayor stands.

 State Director Robinson of Selec- tive Service System has put the Connecticut manpower situation into one sentence. The state can pro- duce either men or guns for the armed services, but not both. It is up to the officials in Washington to decide which one they prefer to have. However, there is decision which is not in the hands of Washington officials but must be made right here in our state. Will our workers who are still in non-essentiai ss- dustry transfer into war work, or will a national war service act have to be imposed?

Selected Poem
ASK THE WINDS

ASK THE WINDS udeut Arthur M. Sampley in the New York Times) We have gone forth like winds: on lost Batann, Deep in New Guinea's jungles thunder r-high Above Australian reefs we rode the dawn
 Blanching across the long Pacific sky Search for our bones on steaming Burmese coasts Or seek our smoke plumes on Tibetan snow Or trace the pattern of our shvering ghosts Hearken above the North Atlantics roar
 For motors limp.ing home to friendly lands And when you reac hthe Mediterranean shores Filter the waves and sift the desert sands. Kindred who seek us through the worlds wide ends, Ask of the rain and thunder, ask the winds.

tile instrument is Dr' Masters entirely normal in infancy, and in many ways among adults-so, 1t is altogether natural for babies to get off the track, SO to speak in thoir buccal explorations.
 ELIMINATION 7f
 One of the earliest, most annoy- ing (though fortunately not coTn- mon) eating habits is called r1irnin- ation. It occurs any time around or after the fourth month, and most often in poorly nourished or puny babies, though occasionally in healthy one. The infant, shortly after eating, sucks his fingers and even his whole fist. The suction brings up the liquid food, SO that without the child's vomiting, an en- tire meal can be gradually pulled back into the mouth and spit out. This process is usually accompanied by gurgles and smiles, at first at- tractive to surrounding adults, but if rurnination is continued and ap- proved of, 1t may accentuate mal- nutrition.
 An interest in inedible and in- dtgestible food may also lead to malnutrition and stomachc- c-upscs. Eating the flzz off blankets, tast- ing mudpies, swallowing hair are common examples of the desire fsr inedible objects, and spring frs Il the same passionate interest in ex- pertinent as above, but may easily become harmful perverston of ap- petite. Physically and emotionaliv inferior children are generally predisposed to this habit, but oa- casionally others as well take 1t up. The cure here is also early preven- tion--giving the child some un- pleasant association with the object eaten, and substituting attractive normal foods.
 Babies quickly recognize paren- tal concern over their satisfactory nutrition, and long before they can walk or talk learn that eating or fasting, vomiting or constipation arc fine levers of childish tyranny. ELIMINATION
 Tn their desire for regular bowel elimination, parents sometimes get a copy book idea of infant behavicr. and by encouraging daily movement with suppositories, enemas, or worse, laxtives, thereby rob baby of his intestinal independence. Babies have at first a liquid diet. and If well, establish their own routine of elimination, which may be permit ted to take its course rather than be forced.
 Vomiting is extremely easy for babies, and may not be associated with nausea. Many a precocious child discovers that vomiting is c fine method of protest and first rate attention getter, since yomit- ing as an early symptom of dis order causes immediate concern. The significant evidence here for the parent must again be loss ot weight. If the child is not losing weight, habitual vomiting may pc an act, to be ignored until the child sees 1t brings none of the desired results.
