from the Browns SO that he could

of his choice.
1t is our belief that Ncwsom is
trying to buy his release from the
Browns.
NcWsom said the only difference
he had with Durocher was about
how nc should pitch to DiMaggio.

in case the demands of the war exhaust the commonly used alloying agents which have always been essential to the produc- ton of steels it will be possible to use ferroalloyS in increasing the strength and hardening of SteelS and thereby make it possible to conserve critical supplies of standardized alloying elements.
 About five years ago the Buick Motor Division at Flint, Michigan, began its ex- perimentS in the development of special addition agent SteelS," which the metal working trade calls needed steel" Since then a great deal of experimental work has been done by that company and other users and by steel producers. The result is that thousands of important parts of trucks and cars of various manu- lecturers on the roads today are pro duced by the use of certain ferroalloyS, called special addition agents. These newly discovered Steels are giving as per- feet performance as "old style" steel MT. Schenck is chairman of one of the sub committees on special addition agent steelS of the Society of Automobile Engi- neerS and he is also serving on the American Iron and Steel Institute Con- mittee.
 Why not keep right on perfecting steel for the needs and purposes of this im- perfect world? Haven't we devised build- ing materials to replace lumber, syn thetics to replace rubber, chemical ma terials, etc? All the earthly metals are being refined to meet the needs of men, nations and armies.

Transportation Changes

Uniform vehicle laws and reciprocal agreements between States will likely be one of the early reforms of postwar days, and according to Professor John S. Morley of the University of Michigan, new oppor- tunities will be opened to the operation of motor transport for individuals who will secure an important place in this field of business now controlled to large eX- tent by big bus and truck line concerns
 In short, great improvements in trans portation may be expected in highway motor service, and in the development of airplane travel. Trans-oceanic travel may diminish, as airplane service is faster. The great production of ships due to the war, will find the country own ing thousands of used vessels that are looking for some place to go Many of them may reopen traffic down the Mis- siSsippi and other water routes More ships will move into San Francisco Bay and New England harbors, and follow busy routes along the Atlantic Coast, the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean Sea, and the Pacific Coast, from Panama to Seattle.
 There has been considerable decrease in railway main line mileage in the last ten years, according to Professor Morley. He foresees faster schedules and more comfortable day coaches, and additional numbers of "streamlined trains" with corresponding decrease in Pullmans in postwar times.
 The rails and highways face a new form of competition in the rapid increase of air transportation which makes it pos sible to cross the continent in remark ably short space of time.

Waterbury Leads Again

If there was to be any display of New Deal opposition in Waterbury yesterday or trend towards the Republican Party, it failed to materialize. The administra- tion of Mayor John s. Monagan was given a rousing endorsement in the face of con- ditions that might have confused and confounded less doughty campaigner or a more easily intimidated party. The Democratic Party of Waterbury came through with flying colors and its tenure of office in Waterbury apparently is to be endless.
 In view of the voting elsewhere throughout the state local Democrats can afford to do bit of boasting. Where as, Hartford was accepting Republican State Senator William MortenSen as its mayor and Bridgeport was giving Mayor Jasper McLevy whooping big victory only Waterbury and New Haven remained safely in the Democratic column. And in the latter city Mayor John w. Murphy was elected for his seventh successive term by something over 2000 votes. It wasn't the usual big Democratic majority for New Haven, but we rather imagine in the Elm City they are as well satisfied with 1t as if 1t had beer ten or twelve thousand.
 There were many aspects to the local campaign of interest to the average voter, but easily the outstanding one was the diSinterest of the public. It was apparent long before Election Day. It probably actuated the Democratic Party chieftains to concentrate their efforts on organiza- tion work in the districts and among the racial groups rather than on campaign oratory. While there were brief exchanges between the rival candidates for the mayoralty, they were mild when com pared to those of previous years. Even the Scully-Perriello campaign of two years ago with war in the offing produced more verbal fireworks. But even oratory would not have brought out more voters.
 For Mayor Monagan yesterdays victory should be a particularly gratifying one He has done fine job throughout l943 Taking the place of the late Vincent A. Scully was job of major importance, particularly in view of the fact that the war tempo has, if anything, increased He certainly received vote of confidence and on the basis of the figures was recip- tent of whatever cutting" there may have been during the day. To have your policies and your administration endorsed so convincingly might well turn the heao of many as young as the mayor, put tne public has come to realize that he IS q pretty substantial person and above all other things he places the best interests of the community. That was the crux of his campaign. He will continue to make them of paramount interest in nls work and that of his associates.

Recollections of Father McCuen

Rev. Joseph F. McCuen, late pastor Of St. Bridget's church in Elmwood, was gone from our own city many years, but his death last week removed one who still seemed part of our community. He had host of friends here who prized his friendship begun when he was assistant at the Immaculate Conception church where he carried on his priestly duties for sixteen years. Since his departure from this city he did not lose touch With his friends here, and he was a frequent visitor.
 Father McCuen's death came while he was in his prime In his priestly duties he was a faithful servant; man of mod est manner but possessing great talents as preacher.
 Father McCuen was a familiar figure at the old Immaculate Conception church, East Main Street. With the present pastor, Rev Francis M. OShea, and other clergy who assisted there before the church moved to it's present site, he became familiar figure. His kindiiness was marked and those who knew him Tn those days held through the years a last ing friendship with this priest who never quite separated himself from his, you might say, original flock. His death last week at the age of forty-nine years re- moves from Elmwood, his pastorate, beloved pastor and jealous worker in the holy priesthood.

and the food is wholesome but dull. There is a dearth of books by Dick ems, Thackeray and Hardy at the railway bookstands hotels have to serve their meals on unmatched china fruits are a rarity !. .. and women up to fifty are now be- ing conscripted for war duties. But the church bells ring again, and Lord Halifax sat on the hillside and listened to them, thinking the while of the days at the start of the war when it seemed that the tread of enemy feet might desecrate that countryside.
 The British people are thinking more now about the world after the war than they did little time back, They are interested in the future relationship of the Big Four. and they want complete understanding between themselves and the other three partners. They are agreed that the alliance of vietors must neither disarm nor deteriorate.
 So apparently the British people are bearing up well as they enter their fifth year of war, and what is more, they have learned a few les- sons in the prevention of another one,

Chinese Reds

Marshal Chiang Kai-shek makes it clear that the Chinese Communist party has not lived up to it's 1887 agreement to participate in unified national govern ment and give up its own independent armies.
 He charges the Communist forces with assaulting national government troops and seizing territory, thus obstructing the prosecution of the war against Japan. On the basis of reports from China in the past, many have believed that the Communists there were ardently cooperating in the attempt to free their country from Nippon. This is not the case, judging from the best information available. They have not even rested with shirking the fighting against Japan. Chiang charges them with active ob- structionism.
 It is to be hoped that the Reds will accept Chiang's temperate invitation to come out of the cold into unified China.

 RELIEF TO EUROPE
 Tomorrow (Nov. A Herbert Hoover is scheduled to testify be- fore a Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee on the question of private American relief to occu- pied European countries-France, Belgium, Holland-under the same system as relief to occupied Greece.
 This will be one of the very rare occasions the ex-President of the United States has set foot in the Capitol since he exited decade ago.
 MT. Hoover may not know 1t, but he was originally scheduled to appear in other distinguished company, including eX-Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels and -Undersecretary of State Sum- ner Welles. At the last minute, however, something mysterious happened. They were not invited.
 Here is the inside story. Last spring Senators Taft of Ohio and Gillette of Iowa q Dem-1 Rep) introduced resolution approving private feeding of occupied coun- tries on the Greek plan. By this plan food is sent in Swedish ships, distributed by the International Red Cross (SWiss), which guaran- tees that no food goes to Ger many. The U. s. government pays nothing.
 All summer the bill gathered dust in a Senate Foreign Rela- ti0ns pigeon -hOle. Pushed by Senator Gillette, hearings final- ly were ordered by a sub-cOm- mittee under liberal Ebert Thomas of Utah. On Gillette's suggestion, Senator Thomas agreed to invite Hoover, Clar- ence Picket, Howard Kershner three Quakers experienced in private foreign relief.
 Senator Gillette also proposed leading Catholic, Protestant, Jew ish witnesses, plus Daniels, Welles and others. Welles, as Undersee- tary of State, had certified that

One of those innulierable pieces of OPA literature brings the cheering news that even the government doesn't like to pay taxes-at least it doesn't like to be reminded of them. OPA, in this release, is saking coal mines or dealers who deliver fuel to the government or its agencies 10 lump the federal transportation tax in with the rest of the bill. By way of ex- portation tax in with the rest of the bill By way of explanation, OPA says that "the government and ist agencies object to making payment of the tax when it is stated separately" Now they know how we feel.

Already various war contracts are being cancelled, and some of the cancellations, especially those involving the purchase of metals, mean breaking commitments to foreign governments.
 Byrnes agreed, called the meet ing for Monday, October 25. On Monday morning, Stettinius phon- ed again.
 We've got to call off the War Mobilization Cabinet meeting" he said.
 "Why?" asked the puzzled Byrnes.
 "Feis has resigned,' replied Stettinius. He's the expert on foreign war contracts" He was referring to Herbert Feis, EcO- homie Adviser to the Secretary of State.
 "Well, can't you come to the meeting and present your views to the cabinet?" suggested Byrnes.
 "No," replied Stettinius, "Feis Is the only man who knows any thing about the subject"
 The special cabinet session was postponed. ''
 NOTE: Herbert Feis, related by marriage to the late President Garfield, is a distinguished liberal economist appointed by Secretary of State Stimson under Hoover. His resignation was handed to Hull shortly after the resignation of Sumner Welles, at which time Hull began to sweep out liberals. When newspapers revealed this clean -cut, Hull held up acceptance of Feis's resignation, left word that 1t be announced while he was in Moscow.

SOLID COMFORT
(New York Herald-Tribune)

(NeW York Herald-Tribune)
 Magazine covers and illustrations, even advertisements in the metro politan press, lately have been pie turing the old pot-bellied stove that warmed millions of Americans for generations and formed the center about which political opinion was exchanged with vehemence in ten thousand general stores. Now this old friend is portrayed with It's smoke pipe inserted above fine renaissance mantel, man servant gingerly serving 1t with fireWood at $30 a cord or with very personable young women in firemen's red fan mel lingerie toasting themselves at its glow; wherever 1t appears, in art or reality, introducing the old home touch and gemuetlichkeit.
 A more sophisticated version of this early Americana, the square or rectangular stove elegantly deco rated with baroque detail, is also coming into great favor and com mands high prices in antique shops that cater to owners of a little place in the country. Tn the hermitages of Connecticut, Vermont and Vest chester and Duchess Counties 1t is often given a conspicuous place in the withdrawing room for use or beauty, a pink or red geranium fiourishing on the cold lid in sum- mer. Some of these are so plumed and draped and foliated with de- signs that they resemble the cata- falque at a first-class French fun- eFal.
 But 1t is the old potbelly that warns the heart and the marrow must genially. with it's nickeled foot- rest and surmounting urn and roc- oco surfaces, VII ] the fad for stoves bring back the manly plug and the tin of Copenhagen snuff?

no Greek relief food went to the Nazis.
 Then suddenly, a week or so be- fore the hearings, Senator Thom- as refused to invite Daniels, Welles, ct al, as proposed by Gil- lette. Mysteriously silent about his reasons, Thomas says official ly he doesn't want the hearings to drag too long. But other nem- bers of the Foreign Relations Committee intimate he has orders from the State Department and White House.
 Senator Gillette is saying noth- ing, but privately he is beginning to wonder whether MT. Churchill, who has vigorously opposed relief to occupied Europe, may be poking a potent finger into U. S. legis- lative processes. While the queS- tion of private relief to Europe may be debatable, there is no req son why the question should not be fully debated.
 DIES COMMITTEE DYING
 The Dies Committee soon will release an interim report, listing the various NaZi and Jap groups which operated more or less open ly in this country until Pearl Har- Dor under the names of tourist bureaus. trade associations, etc.
 It will be prosaic, less sensa- tional than previous reports, with a back-handed slap at the Admin istration for permitting such things to happen. There will also be a pat on the back for the Con- mittee, claiming full credit for the exposure of the subversive organ izations listed.
 Employees of the Committee are bemOaning the reports mild- ness. Committee funds are get ting to the point where the House must be asked for more, but maybe the dough will not be forthcoming unless Dies can throw the House something far more sensational.
 Only thing sensational forth right Martin Dies can drag out now concerns Communist influ- ence among the Negroes, and he hesitates to do this, fearing Ma tion-wide repetition of the Detroit race riots.
