EXPRESS BUSES
MAY Be STARTED
c. R. & L. Company Con.
sidering Plan to Speed Up
Transportation

Offlciais OF the Connecticut Rail-
way & Lighting Co. discussed today
the possibility Of using express
buses on several runs between Wa
terbury and suburban areas, to ia
cilitate the transportation problem.
It Is believed that such buses will
be installed on Waterville and Wa
tertown routes In the near future.
. At the same time, officials stated
that the number Of buses for Sum-
day travel will be increased next
week, to prevent tieups such as oc-
cured the day before yesterday
Extra buses were in service last
Sunday only for workers travelling
to and from defense plants, but
from now on they will work
throughout the day. getting theater-
goers and visitors into the city from
surrounding towns. Although there
is a need for drivers at the c. r. &
l.. Co., changes in schedule will be
worked out so that there will be
enough men on hand to operate al
the buses needed.
Express runs now under consid-
Grafton are those from Exchange
Place to Waterville and Watertown
and it is proposed that such busse:
make no stops until well out Of tht
business district. One suggestion
made recently was to have the Wa
terville bus express to the top O
Willow street, and the Watertowr
bus O through trip to Oakville
Changes, however, are now unde
consideration in each case. Cur
rently, an express Cheshire New
Haven bus carries passengers from
the Center to Reidville and East
wood.
If the express-bus plan is carried
through, locals will be retained tx
transport passengers to in-betweer
stops.

APOSTLE OF A
NEW DEMOCRACY
According to p. M, Joannes Steel
asserted over Station WA6CA on
December 18th, that II he decided
the peace terms he would shoot
without trial one day after victory
Is won: The top 100000 German
Man Party members and italian
Fascist Party members; all enemy
officers above the rank Of hteuter1-
ant; all Black Shirt leaders: every
member Of the German Peoples
Court. and NaM Reichstag, the ItaI-
IAN Fascist Grand Council, etc..
etc."
If Mr.. Steel had his way, on the
morning after the day Of peace
everyone Of them would be dead.
However, I think we have in Mr.
Steel an excellent illustration OF
what we are not fighting for. This
is what we would destroy among
men, and must we lower ourselves
to use as our own what we condemn
in others? Everyone Of E1r. Steel'S
proposed victims who are In any
way responsible for the deluge Of
blood that has been looSed upon the
world should be punished severely
for their crimes. But we shall not
step back to barbarism to do It,
The culpritS should be brought be"
fore the bar Of Justice for judg.
ment and America may be thankful
that Joannes Steel will be on the
bench.

shut down with no apparent rea-
son. So the wisacres are pointing
despite repeated warnings from Off

end OF the war.
The second situation which is TO-
cusing attention Is the telling OF
political forces with eyes on the
coming elections. Will Mr.. Roose-

being made over this at present
