POTATO SHORTAGE
STILL ACUTE HERE

Rice and spaghetti are gradually
taking the place of potatoes in res
taurants as we'll as in homes as the
current potato shortage continues in
force. Several local restaurants
have revised their menus emitting
potatoes, while others serve the
staple food only with dinners.
No change is expected in the
shortage situation until southern
and western crops begin to arrive
in a few weeks. Wholesalers have
been unable to obtain Maine ship
ments due to military requirements

Politics
.-M-
Passing

When Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin
decided 10 replace Richard Joyce
Smith, Democrat, on the State Pris-
on Board with Warren F. Greasy,
Republican, he failed TO check on
political alignments. In short the
governor finds that even in the case
of the sacrosanct Prison Board the
state fathers decided that partisan
ship was TO be factor in appoint
mentS. In replacing Mr.. Smith, we'll
known among intimates and others
as capable loquaciously, logically, le-
gally and whatever way you will,
the governor should have named an
other Democrat. He Is reported to
have said he didn't think politics
entered into the matter, which
caused the Hartford Times to point
out that this being the case 1t hard
ly would have been necessary for the
governor to replace Mr.. Smith by a
Republican, II he had to replace
him at all.

n was obvious, however, that

successful sale on Thursday eve

One OF the really worthwhile meas
urcs coming out OF the Legislature,
taking H. for granted that the Sem
ate will follow the House example OF
this week and the governor won't
object. Is that allowing cities and
towns IN Connecticut to make use
OF surpuscs for other purposes than
budgctary ones For example the
City Of Waterbury had budgetary
operations surplus OF over 100000
last year. It had anticipated that
there would be at least a 100000
surplus when the l943 budget was
being made UP last fall and made
provisions for this by setting up an
item OF $446. 948 in the General
Fund, Means OF Financing under
Estimated Available Cash Surplus,
January !, 1913. The remaining
100000 surplus will be used IN max
ing up the 1914 budget, but now it
may be possible actually to set up
a surplus fund for capital and nom
recurring expenditures. Further
budget-makers may utilize as high
as two mills Of the tax rate for
creating such surpluses, under terms
OF the measure. The purpose is to
provide adequate financing for post
war work and TO allow cities and
towns to make definite plans now
for definite projects with the knowl-
edge that the funds are gradually
being accumulated, provided, Of
course. the budget can be operated
at profit and not loss.
IL wouldn't be at all surprising
to find the Commission that re-
vised the citys water rates a year
or SO ago called back into session
shortly TO make further revision
in its own schedules as now eS-
tablished in Waterbury. One Of
the recommendations of this
group, which was headed by the
late Controller Thomas NJ. COnlOn,
was that II time should show de-
partmental revenues ample, there
should be some steps taken to level
off the fixed charges, particularly
for consumers with the one and
three-quOrter inch meters. Most
Of the complaints about the pres
ent rates come from these users.
where annual consumption never
appr0ximates the fixed charge
they must pay. What with the
Water Department now being on
self-sustaining basis and sur
pluses accommodating so tina tplans
arc being made for their utiiiza-
ton In reducing the heavy bonded
debt service due 10 come he
tween 1853 and 1857 when the Sc
ries Of 194i water bonds fan due,
II would seem as II the city faith
ers might be wise to move for the
flat-rate reduction.
Independent Democrats are ready
to take the field. according 10 all
reports In political circles. A can
didate has been selected and all that
remains 10 be done is 10 surround
him with a hand-picked slate and
a strong organization. Well. that's
nearly all: there does remain the
question Of financing an active CAM
paign which must extend through
ne summer months to be effective.

DESERT SAFARI
SAGA of a Handcar

An army of several hundred
Mexican nationals, brought to the
United States by the Southern
Pacific Railroad company by ar
rangement with the Mexican gov
ernment, battle the intense heat OF
the California desert 10 hours a
day, seven days a week to keep the
trains carrying vital war equip
ment and troops may travel east
and west unhampered, To Finney,
county director of the u. S. En-
ployment service, revealed Thurs
day following an inspection trip
over the route between inland and
Yuma.
Finney and Ignacio Pesquiera,
Mexican vice consul at CaleXico,
accompanied Earl r. Bishop, S. P.
RoadmaSter for the district, on a
journey over the route in a small
motor car Wednesday, leaving Nj
land at 4:30 a. m. and returning
shortly after p. m.
INSPECT CAMPS
They inspected camps of the
Mexican railroad workers all along
the route and visited with the men
in their boX-car homes and con-
verse6 with them as they worked
in the heat of the sun.
Finney had high praise for the

Sandwiched into his radio ad-
dress on the war last night, Presi-
dent Roosevelt proposed this pro-
gram for war veterans which he
described as "the least to which
they are entitled" in the postwar
period:
'MUSTERING-OU PAY
l. "MuStering-out pay" to all
members of the armed forces and
the merchant marine - enough to
cover the time between discharge
and the finding of new job.
2. Unemployment insurance if no
job is found "after diligent search. )"

training "at the cost of their gov

Army Tells Names
OF Dead Soldiers

Army officers at Camp young,
near Indio, Thursday revealed the
names of the three infantrymen
who died of thirst in the desert be-
tween Ogilby and Glamis in eastern
Imperial county early this week.
The dead were Cpl. Julius Ortega
of New York City; Sgt. Robert j.
Powers of Trenton, N. j.: and Pvt.
Charles Henry Nash of Atlanta, Ga.
The name of the fourth soldier, who
is still missing somewhere in the
desert wastes, was not disclosed.
The army infantrymen wandered
away from their companions while
lost on the desert last weekend
during an endurance test. Their
officer left the group of 80 men
together while he went after water.
When he returned four of the men
had wandered away from the main
party.
