1t Is earnestly to be hoped that
a constructive REORGANIZATION OF
Congressional procedure will result
from the proposal of Senator Ma
loney Of Connecticut and Represen-
tative Monroney of Oklahoma ask
ing for a Joint bipartisan commit
tee to make full and complete
study enabling it (Congress)
better to meet Its responsibilities
under the Constitution" The impa-
thence of the public with the law
makers, we suspect. is based not so
much on hostility to our represen-
tative system as on dissatisfaction
with the ineffectiveness of Con-
gress because of its archaic organ
ization. 1t Is within the power of
Congress to remedy that situation.
This is by no means a new prob
lem. Woodrow Wilson. in his Con
Stitutional Government" termed
the forty-seven House and thirty
three Senate standing committees
eighty little legislatures, an odd
device of disintegration." It Is OBJ
yious that committee consideration
of legislation Is necessary, but the
multiplication of committees has
resulted In a scattering of respon-
sibility and the advancement of
mediocre men to chairmanships.
This last condition Is aggravated
by the seniority rule. which ought
to be discarded. 1t might be well,
also, to consider establishing joint
committees SO far as practicable.
For example. the separate hearings
by the committees on Military AZ
fairs place double burden upon

Judge Thomas D. Gill of the Third
District of the Juvenile Court in Hartford
spoke recently in that city at the annual
meeting of the Connecticut Council Of
Catholic Women on the subject of juVe-
nile delinquency. This question of juve-
nile delinquency is constantly brought
to the public's attention by similar courts
in all localities. And in practically all
cases the blame Is laid on the home back
ground, as Judge Gill said: "the roots
Of the problem lie in the failure Of the
family, as a social unit, to meet it's re-
sponsibilities." 1t will be noted that
children today are making their own de-
cisions at an age when such decisions
should be made for them. Judge Gills

of others in similar positions are deserv-

Literary Expendables

A soldier wants books and needs them,
wherever he may be. The Army knows
this, and will distribute, through its IL
brary service, 20 million books to overseas
troops during the coming year
These books are "expendable". They
are of pocket size, paper bound, and in
extensively printed by the Council on
Books in Watime, non-profit organiza-
ton They can go wherever soldier
goes. And if some of the books are lost or
destroyed, the financial loss is not great.
We have paper shortage, it Is true.
But even so, it Is hard to think of more
reasonable expenditure of the existing
supply. A soldiers need for the wisdom
and entertainment that books afford be-
comes greater as he moves to strange
lands and approaches the fighting front.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-11-15

Having had a chance to talk to
soldiers, I can say that with ma
tional income running at upward of
$3.50 billion, now is the time to pay
for the war. We ought to pay at
!. least so per cent of 1t now. They
(soldiers) are worried that they'll
have to fight the war and pay for it,
too.
Treasury Secretary Henry Nor
genthau, Jr.

The observation by Richard l..

timely: Lacking strong leadership

'WRECkING GREW COMING FEATURE
 AT 10TH CENTURY

This is the story of the wreck CTS They tear down that others may build. Their lives are dedicated to the proposition that whatever goes up must come down. and the bigger they are--the harder they fall"
 That is the foreword which pre- cedes the thrilling action drama, "Wrecking Crew starring Richard Arlen, Chester Morris and Jean Parker, which opens at the goth Century Theatre Sunday. And it may fairly be considered to be an accurate guide to the tale which pits two building wreckers against "a gal who knows something about the subject of wrecking, too
 The mettlesome trio of players portray roles of exceptional color. Richard Arlen, as boss of the husky gang of roughnecks, and Chester Morris, as his competitor in both romance and wrecking, reportedly turn in the best jobs of their laurel- filled careers. Jean Parker, as the beautiful gamine, has one of the best parts she has ever filled.
 Maxwell Shane and Richard Murphy, who collaborated on the screenplay, turned in script which dramatizes the risks of the men who gamble their necks for bread and butter.
