Air Scientists Study
Problem Of Runways
For Larger Planes

The Institute of Aeronautical
Sciences, at meeting at the Statler
Hotel yesterday, turned its attention
to the problem of what type of run
ways will be needed to handle the
big planes of the future.
The National Airport at Gravelly
Point, one of the most modern air.
fields, has mile-long runWays, but.
according to the discussions, may
not be adequate to service cargo
planes of the future.
Grover Looming consultant on
aircraft for the War Production
Board was chairman of the meet
ing.
Planning for the future of air
transportation was discussed by Will
liam Littlewood, American Airlines,
who presented paper on Realistic
Air Transport Planning" He main
tanned that planning for the future
OF air transportation has been, is.
and will continue to be a prime re-
sponSlblllty of management, whether
1t be industrial or governmental.
The postwar use of modified and
improved transport airplanes made
from the basic existing military and
commercial transport models was
considered. Also discussed was the
effect of airplane size on the cost
Of air transportation and the effects
OF runway length on the efficiency
OF future aircraft.
Among the conclusions we're: that
planning should be in the direction
Of utilization of as large aircraft as
possible over as long ranges as are
consistent with the services to be
rendered; that present aircraft are
quite unsuited to operation from
small fields, and if insistence is
made that future airplanes must
operate from small fields. unwar-
ranted costs of operation will result.
1t was emphasized that without i'm
proved ground transportation facili-
ties, express highways and bus and
truck connections. the plans for a
rapid development of local trans
portation would be more theoretical
than real.
DR.. Francis W. Reichelderfer, chief
of the Weather Bureau, told the
gathering that, although naviga-
tional aids will make possible
air transport operations in all
kinds of weather, the effects of
strong winds and other atmospheric
conditions on operating efficiency
will force further development and
extension of weather service, par
ticularly over the oceans. The COL
lection charting. analysis and dis
semination of weather information
for international air commerce will
require coordination and sound
organization"

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 27.-L. M
Walker, jr., State commissioner of
agriculture, said yesterday he be-

this year would be 20 to 25 per cent
below the record harvest of 1912
This means, he said, that the 1943
crop yield is about per cent below
the average of recent years. Factors
blamed for the decline were mfa-

No Clearing House

It remains to be proved, of course, but there does seem to be vast amount of eagerness among Waterbury legislators to crowd the legislative hoppers at Hart ford with special acts, bills, etc. Without a pretty good investigation of the same it would be foolish to proclaim all of them unworthy of the attention of either the Senate or the House. For all we know each and every measure may have its merits. Strictly speaking nothing should be introduced in the General Assembly that doesn't have merit, but often there are quantities of bills that only occupy space and use up time.
 Judging by the context of the lajor- ity of the bills affecting this city there does not seem to be any regard for our local governmental authority in the mass of Waterbury legislation. The answer to this might be that such regard isn't compulsory. That's true for senators and representatives, are obliged to introduce any bill that is given to them. This is the case in only some instances, though. The majority of bills presented by our legislators are either prepared by them or through their aid.
 Where great many bills concern the civil government, as in the case of Wa terbury and the multitude of bills that would affect it's charter or set up special acts, it does seem as if some sort of a clearing house might well be maintained. It may be argued that the legislative committees will constitute such clear ing house. We hope they will, for 1t must be obvious by this time that bills, in which there is general public interest, are to be heard shortly and demand thorough discussion by our officials

G. o. P. Tactics

Sufficient time has surely elapsed for the local citizenry to determine just what motivated the Republican side of the Board of Aldermen to cast blank bal lots last Thursday night during the elec- tion of President of the body. There must surely be some explanation of the same, yet no one apparently is able to of- fer it. And as the days pass and nothing is said to explain why the Republicans should neither vote for the Democratic candidate nor against him there's just a bit of resentment in certain quarters.
 Of course there's the viewpoint that after all what the Republican aldermen do is not the concern of the Democratic side of the house. That's perfectly true, but there are more than Democrats con- cerned in this matter. After all Demo- crats and Republicans on this board are elected to represent the people, not just political groups. And It's hard to deter mine just how much representation Is produced when the minority side Of she

Fashionable Pride

If Connecticut Democrats take more than passing interest in the announce ment from Hartford that our bonded debt will probably be retired in another year, they can be excused. Wiping out of this debt will more or less make lot of Dem- ocrats, as well as many Republicans, feel rather satisfied with themselves. And well they can be, for it wasn't too long ago that there were legislators galore who refused to endorse in any way what Soever the thought of having the state bond itself for such things as expensive highways.
 Floating of $25,00O,OOO bond issue by the state came only after long years of arguing It also was achieved at the eX- penSe of many of our state institutions. But we do think that much of the impe- tuS behind the bond movement was final ly imparted by ex-governor Wilbur L. Cross and many of his Democratic col leagues at Hartford. Not that Republi- cans should be marked down solely as op- ponentS of the bonding plan. There were many who differed with their party lead CTS, even back in the days when all you could hear was pay-as-you-go
 Well, today we have the capital i'm provements the bonds made possible and the bonded indebtedness has been cut to an approximate $16,00O,000 with $8,- 100000 available for further reduction and Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin confident that another year will see the entire $25,- 100000 issue wiped off the books. It was a good investment for the state and one that did not prove as costly as opponents of this type of governmental financing alleged.

A Precedent, Perhaps

Perhaps Washington correspondents watching Congress day after day will cor rect us in this. We do not remember, however, single occasion prior to Feb 1 when unanimous consent was withheld for the introduction of non-congressional material into the Congressional Record Even then, Senator vandenberg's s action did not constitute flat refusal to permit unanimous consent He obtained the same result by insisting that if the Flynn statement were to be printed, it should be accompanied by his own comment upon it. We are not jubilating about this additional blow at MT. Hymns pres- tige. We are, rather, hoping that con- gressmen will become less liberal with space in their private newspaper.

A Christian democracy as a postwar basis was asked by Most Rev. James E.: Kearney, Roman Catholic bishop of Rochester, N. Y, in a recent address to Newman Club members. Speakers, are constantly advocating world with more thought to the spiritual side of things, and less to the material. The bishop stated that he knew there could not be Utopia, since an earthly paradise was not intended by God. His words as well as the words of many of our leading minded churchmen should be taken by all ana given serious thought.

HONORS FOR THE HOME
 FRONT

 After the smoke had cleared over Pearl Harbor and the American front was a tiny strip of land across Bataan, a single cry rose from the throats of bewildered civilians: What can we do to help?"
 Today there's no uncertainty on that score. They know - children, parents. grandparents. everyone. Youngsters of the Boys Clubs of America knew that their pennies could help. They saved li0J500 of them and bought a jeep for the Army.
 Boston school children were quick to realize what they could do, and set the pace for school children throughout the Nation by ptirchas- ing $7O0.O00 worth of War Stamps and Bonds.

Frank Lyon Polk who died the other day was a man of much impor- tar1ce in the legal profession. While he had been prominent during most of his active life in public affairs most peo- pie will recall his importance as under secretary and acting secretary of state under Woodrow Wilson, also as head Of the peace delegation to Paris in 1919. He was active in New York state as an ln- dependent Democrat and actively sup ported both Alfred B. Smith and Frank linlin D. Roosevelt in that state. what ever he undertook had his most sincere efforts.

Anniversary of a Song Bird

This week marks the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Adelina Pat ti, one of the greatest coloratura singers of all time. The memories of many today, perhaps we should say the musical in- formation of many, does not go back far tfer than Galli-Curci. The great Patti, however, has been legend in song; es- pecially in coloratura singing in which she excelled in her day which was long day; from the age of six or whereabouts to well over seventy Madame Patti, it is safe to say, never had an equal We have had conspicuous sopranos of the runs, echoes and trills, but none whose voice has had the accuracy of pitch or the powers of endurance, so we read.
 Madame Patti likewise had voice that was good in other styles of song. She never sang false note, so we saw stated, in special article written about her this week. Her singing was the work of her life, and she went at 1t tooth and nail. She was something of martinet in her own world which was the realm of song. Her musical training was more or less of a family affair since ttey were all pro- fessional musicians, father, mother, and others besides herself. She just fell into it. Her training came for the most part from within the family ranks.
 Adelina Patti named her price when- ever she sang. She was that important, ard there seemed to be no kick coming. She stood supreme as the coloratura so- prano of her day and age; She was ad- Tniied by all people of all nations. Her price, which was high, was inconsequen- tial. Actually she will never be forgotten. Those who never saw her in person or heard her sing have heard of her, one of the worlds startling song birds, who was SO accurate, so they say, as the birds of the air in her vocal gymnastics.

 Feb. 8, 1s43. Editor of The Democrat
 Bulletin No. 1058 from the Am erican Civil Liberties Union gives us the following notice and fore- word about @ new pamphlet just published
 A. o. L. U. Publishes Pamphlet On
 Jehovah's Witnesses
 A new pamphlet, "Jehovah's Wit nesses and the War;" published by the national office of the American Civil Liberties Union is now avail able for distribution from the Unions headquarters, TO Fifth Ave, New York City.
 A foreword to the pamphlet signed by some of the nation's leading clergymen that: "this extraordin- ary record of wartime attacks up- on the liberties of religious orr ganization constitutes a challenge to democratic liberties and religious tolerance. The record in these pages shows that thousands of children of Jehovah's Witnesses have been expelled from the public schools all over the country for refusal to salute the flag; that several hun dred men of military age are im- prisoned for refusing compulsory military service: that they alone have been the victims of patriotic" nob-violence; that hundreds of their members have been arrested for distributing literature-and that they have been compelled to bring more cases in the courts involving their rights, and thereby the rights of all of us, than any other organi- ration in the country.
 'It is in the interests of religious tolerance and reasonable solutions that the underslgned-wholly dis sociated from any connection with or endorsement of Jehovah's Witt nesses-subscribe to the publication of this pamphlet and commend 1t to the attention of all liberty loving Americans"

and racial antagonisms. They have one cablegram from Cape town, South Africa, describing merchant crew troubles" and laying the blame on certain named seamen described as "draft.dodger and radical" sea lawyer" "shifty eyed radical"
 NOTE: Merchant seamen are deferred from military service, hence cannot be draft-dodgers.>
 One important source of tric- ton is the fact that Navy per- sonnel and merchant seamen are thrown together on the same ship, since the ships guns are manned by Q Navy crew ranging from 2S to 43 persons. These mem are paid only about one-fourth as much as seamen, yet undergo the the same hazards.
