It can never De said that Demo- 1rats in Waterbury didn't try to 10 all fin their power to see that every serviceman had an absenteee bellot this fall. This idea didn't originate here in Waterbury, be- cause 1t was Mrs. Frances Redick, Secretary of State, who first ad- sanced the thought that distribu- tion Of absentee ballots in 1943 Tor local elections wasn't . parti- ssn matter. but one of civic im- portance. Viewing it in this light Mayor Monagan proposed to the Bocal Registrars of Voters that they oee to 1t that . ballot 90 to every bedy in the service from this city, even if that meant sending the ballots to their last-known address here. COP Registrar Al Taller ob- 5ected to this on the ground that there would be . waste of time and effort, because lots of people wouldn't take the trouble to for ward the ballots to the military addresses with which they might ke familiar. And Attorney Gen. efal Francis A. Pallotti now has ruled that the intent of the Legis- 1Ature wasn't to have Registrars forward ballots to home addresses but to military ones. But Mrs. Re- dick apparently stin feels the other 1lea was . good one.

' And on the Republican side there are rumors that Major Peter { Costigan Is definitely in line for ' nomination on the fall ticket.
 Whether 1t will be the top place l. 0r some other one hasn't been dis closed, but the fact remains that
 he said to be readying himself for the campaign. That would mean a
 severance from the OPA rent con- tYol office with which he has been
 affiliated for . year or more. By
 the same token it is believed to
 make the Rent Control Adminis-
 tratoT, George McDuff, ineligible
 to run for his School Board posi-

Y Recent street repair jobs in Brook Sn apparently didn't please all the Ipesidents. Any number are grumb- I1lng about the dust and annoyance produced by the new pavements,
 which are similar to those which the )etate Highway Department has been

Planners for the

Never before in history have men
expended as much time and money
in an effort to plan a better world.
Kites rise against the wind and the
demonology Of Nazidom has swept
away the gilt and the gee-gaws Of
our civilization and left bare the
foundations with all their potential
strength and pitiful weakness. The
positive forces of evil have general
ed positive forces of good to oppose
them.

Washington and private organiza-
tons scattered throughout the coun-
try, not counting various state and

In research or public education on a
national scale on the problems fac

The interesting thing about these
studies is that most of them agree
on one constructive peacetime goal
which is considered essential to

that is full employment"-in 9TH

Can Aircraft Win The War?

British air enthusiast says unqualifedly that
both Germany and Italy be knocked out in 1913.
He thinks that fifty bombing raids month for two
months, each unloading two thousand tons of bombs
would turn the trick.
According to London news dispatch, this would
mean stepping up the present aerial offensive four
times The probability is that attacks upon Axished
Europe will be stepped up by four times before the end
of this summer.
Naturally there is much interest in the sugges-
ton that continuous round-the-clock bombing might
be able to put Germany, Italy, or BOTH out of the
war; Certainly, such campaign would not involve the
huge loss of life which must be faced if large Anglo
American Army invades Continental Europe.

Peat Moss
By FLORENCE WEED

(This is one of series OF articles show
ing how farm products are finding an i'm
portant market in Industry
Peat miners, you might call them,
those farmers who are lucky enough
to find bed Of peat located on their
land. Domestic peat Is needed now
to supplement the reduced supply
being imported from Europe.
Most of the beds in this country
are located in northern states:
Maine. New Hampshire. Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Ohio and northern WASH
ington.
Moss, sedge and reed peat are
considered safe as q fertilizer for
gardens and golf course greens. 9th
er kinds which have an acid reaction
and are not chemically adapted to
combination with soil are found use
full as insulating material, as stable
litter, and as an absorbent layer for
poultry houses in winter. Peat dust
is found to be an effective deodoriz-
er. Peat can be used as a substi-
tute for medicated cotton in the
making of surgical dressings. II
has been used in the making Of
paper.
Peat mining is not a difficult Job.
The peat is first ripped up from the
earth, shredded in a machine,
pressed or dried to get rid Of excess
moisture, then cleaned and sacked.
For some uses, the peat is pull
verified to powder. All Of these
are farm operations that can be done
by one man.

Hard To Understand

The complaints will be based upon the supposition
that the 'bureaucrats" in Washington bestrring
themselves to discover methods with which to

Why Feed $4,000. 900 Italians?

There seems to be strong impression in mill
tary circles that the occupation of Italy will not be
stupendous task In fact, many commentators believe
1t should be borne in mind that the occupation of
Italy will not, of itself, seriously affect Germanys
ability to wage Even if all of Italy is acquired,
the Allies would hardly be able to launch successful
invasion through the Bremen Pass.
Another matter to be considered in connection
with any descent upon Italy, is that if the campaign
successful the United Nations will face the necessity
of providing food for more than 450OO,OOO Italians.
1t might be cheaper to take the Italian islands in
the Mediterranean thus neutralzing the Italians and
leave them alone. This would, at least require that
Mussoini or any succeeding government feed the peo
pie of Italy.

American Propaganda
Strengthened by Victory
Triumph in Tunisia Furnishes Powerful Am
munition for Verbal Warfare; Axis
Policy of Suppression Backfires.
By BAUKHAGE
NesUs Analyst and Commentator.

WNU Service, Union Trust Building,
Washington, d. C.
AS this is written, America is pre-
pairing for the greatest assault on
the German home front since the
war began. The new offensive is
made possible by two things: the
fall of Tunisia which weakened the
barricade Of German morale, and
the capture of the City Of Tunis,
where Africa's most effective radio
station for reaching Europe is To-
Gated. Because of the water-jump,
the transmission from Tunis is espe-
cially favorable.
The members Of the staff of the
Office Of War Information who man
the front in the battle of verbal war
fare say that their fire power has
increased tremendously with the Az
rican military victory. They explain
1t this way: propaganda is a strange
thing. Alone, 1t is not very power
full weapon-it has to be backed
up by events. Germany's barrage
of words that had so much to do
with preparing the way for her sol
diers did not really become effective
until Hitler had begun to act; until
he could report his successful ag-
gression, his blitz against Poland
helped against Scandinavia; his VIC
tory in the low countries bolstered
his Victory in the West"-the film
of that name was widely used as
defeatist propaganda.
Because of this principle, Amer
lean propaganda was handicapped.
Until November fifth of last year,
the only concrete thing which Amer
lea had to talk about was production.
But on and after that date, the at
tack from the radio stations in AZ
RIGA jumped from the sniper to the
machine-gun class because the en-
envy knew that not far from the
radio station were American SOL
diers. America was actually In the
war, physically participating against
the troops of the Axis.
