The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-01-12

Vincent Scully of Waterbury, who died
last Saturday, was man who was
thoughtful in small things. His thought
fulneSs has been brought to the atten-
ton of many these past few months.
Many young man departing for parts
unknown to join up with the armed
forces has been surprised to see the figure
of the mayor coming down the platform.
AS far as the young man, very often, was
concerned, he was unknown to the mayor
and of no Importance. But Vincent Soul
ly was there to see the boys off; whether
a half dozen or several hundred were de-
parting. Little observances were remem-
bered by him. He made it point to call
and pay his respects to families on happy
occasions and in bereavements Appreci-
alton of these numberleSs kindneSSeS
were repaid in no small measure since
the mayors death last Saturday.

A Question in Their Eyes

To call the recently published State
Department White Book, step in the
right direction, would be blow to the
erStwhile students of government who
poured over every last word in the
massive volume. They will counter with
vehement assertions that, far from being
a mere step, the White Book is a veritable
tranSoceanic Jump. But step or Jump,
the publication raises almost as many
questions as it settles. True, it tells us
taat Ambassador Joseph Grew knew
something of the situation, and wasn't
spending his time either with rickeyS
or rickshas, as critics have intimated. 1t
also states that Cordell Hull was on the
Job, and even anticipated trouble with
Japan, although he expected it in diff
ferent area. But by letting us in on
these facts, it prompts us to inquire,
why was not knowledge of this kind put
to practical use?"
The answer which seems to suggest
itself most readily is that our leaders
were ever hopeful of averting, or at least
postponing, the falling out with the
Japanese. Well, that is commendable
attitude indeed, but at the same time
why weren't we getting ready at Pearl
Harbor? According to the White Paper,
Ambassador Grew reported to the State
Department that trouble was brewing at
Pearl Harbor as early as January Of 1941.
Even allowing that preparations were
tripped up time and again in red tape,
it would seem that there was adequate
time in which to defend the post against
surprise attack.
Perhaps the most notable omission in
the entire book is that of negotiations
on the days Immediately preceding Pearl
Harbor. The history of a century may
have been written in a single week, but
we know nothing OF the details. Maybe
the time has not yet come to tell of the
transactions of eXpediency which went
on in Washington, but until details are
revealed a curious public will face the
war with question in their eyes.

The 1913 Book Campaign is on in
full swing. Most of us are giving it
little serious thought. What does the
sailor and soldier on duty along the
danger points like to read in his spare
time? Democracy has its outposts, and
these are being defended and enlarged
by free men. The average American man
now translated into fighter likes to
read the same books you would read in
YOUR leisure hours. That is to say, best
sellers, adventure yarns, mysteries for re-
Taxation, also the modern and ageless
classics. That is why the campaign &C
cents the slogan: "Any book you really
want to keep is a good one to give"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-01-12

The scandal involves several
government officials who have
worked inside deals with air
plane parts manufacturers. One
racket worked this way: when a
certain Wright Field. employee
evolved an idea or patent, he
would sell 1t to an interested
Company. Then he, an official,
would turn around and write
the government specifications so
that only the gadget he had in
vented could be purchased by the
Government.
Another racket worked this
way: when a, certain manufacturer
wanted to sell a special gadget or
part such as an oil cooler, it would
get a man on the inside at Wright
Field to write the specifications
so only this particular invention
could be purchased. For doing
this the inside man got a kick
back. e.
This stifled competition and
often prevented the best prod
uct from being sold.
The man who first suspected
. this racketeering was Harold
Talbot, WIPES crack aircraft
production man. One of the
things that made him unpOpu-
lar with the Army was his
stream Of suggested reforms for
Wright Field.
Undersecretary of War Patter-
son, disturbed over smelly reports,
appointed the former Brooklyn
prosecutor, Bill ODwyer, now in
the Army, to investigate. He
has found so much dirt that his
report has been late. The JUS
tice Department will crack down
soon.
NOTE: Talbot got on the Arrny,s
nerves so badly that they abso-
lutely refused to let him sit on the
Aircraft Board and he resigned. He
was one of the best men in WPB.
DINNER PARTY POLITICS
1t begins to look as if the next
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-01-12

she came to Congress and was
interviewed by the Ladies of the
Press.
She had kept them waiting in
the cold railroad station, then
lodged them. They were furious.
When they finally cornered her,
they demonstrated conclusively
that the female Of the species Is
more deadly than the male. There
was no question too mean to ask
her, and since then nothing Mrs.
Luce has done has escaped their
attention - even the fact that
her petticoat showed when she
first went on the floor Of Con-
gress. 20
Furthermore, Mrs. Luce's Re-
publican lady colleagues also are
more deadly than the male. Mrs.
Frances Bolton Of Cleveland
and Mrs. Edith NOurse Rog-
ers Of Massachusetts are charm
ing and gracious to male menu
bers, but when it comes to let
ting pretty Mrs. Luce on the
important Foreign Affairs Com
mittee, they are "dOg-in-the-
Manager" Two women on the
committee is company they say,
three's crowd.
But - some Of the men folks in
Congress think Mrs. Luce would
be fortnight, intelligent adorn-
ment to the Dies Committee. In
fact they think the Dies Com
mittee could use some brains
and not even the lady reporters
will deny that Mrs. Luce has
brains. -

political campaign would be q war
Of dinner parties = the loser be-
ing he who throws the most
elaborate dinner.
That Is the implication attached
to the 100000 leaflets Republic
cans are quietly circulating, Civ
ing the menu and partial guest
list of the dinner which Million
aire Bernard Baruch spread in
honor Of Mrs. Harry Hopkins.
It is q devastating piece Of
campaign literature. After .
reminder Of ratiOninE and war
front suffering, the leaflet tells
how Baruch shOwered vintage
champaign, caviar, pate de foie
gras, lobster, turkey and long
lisht Of other luxuries on his
guests. -
The leaflet neglects to say that
a majority Of the guests were
high ranking Army and Navy
officers, plus Republicans from
the War Department, with Leon
Henderson and Hopkins the only
New Dealers present.
Because of the OMISSION, 1t Is
all the more potent, and Roose-
welt politicians viewed the leaflet
as dynamite until a political
gift-from heaven fell their way.
This took the form of an even
bigger dinner by Republican Major
Richard Mellon, nephew of Cool
idge's Secretary Of the Treasury
Andrew Mellon.
So now it's even. In fact the
Democrats say the dinner-table
balance is now definitely on the
Republican side. For whole
Baruch had 30 guests, Dick Mel
lon had 80. And whereas,
Baruch threw his spread in
hotel, Mellon did things really
right in the home he leased from
Mrs. Parke Brady, the former
Eleanor Ryan of the Thomas
Fortune RyanS.
As to expenses, Baruch and
Mellon probably were about even.
Bernie gave all his lady guests
perfume, but Mellon imported
Emil Coleman's dance band from
New York at a reputed cost of
around $1,000. Also he brought
from New York, Dwight Fiske,
cafe society's pet monologist,
whose fee is around $500 for
recital.
NOTE: Prize remark Democrats
are quoting on the Mellon party
was that Of one lorgnetted dow
ager who said goodbye as fol-
lows: ut was lovely party. There
hasn't been one like II since dear
Mr.. Coolidge left the white
House."
UNCLE BARUCH'S ECONOMY
Real joke on Bernie Baruch Is
that for O long time he has been
writing members OF his family
that they should be careful about
extravaganza; should do little
entertaining. Furthermore Ba-
Tuch himself seldom goes out TO
