One Of Connecticut's leading men
Of letters, Yale University chaplain as
well as chaplain Of the Saint Thomas
More Club, Rev. T. Lawrason Riggs,
died Tuesday at his home in New Haven.
For over twenty years Father Riggs has
been identified with the young men at
tending Yale College. His work as adj
visor to the Catholic boys at the college
has been outstanding. He was greatly
admired and respected, not only by the
student body but by New Haveners and
many Others throughout the state with
whom he came in contact.
Father Riggs was q man OF literary
talents and frequently had articles in
The Commonweal and other Catholic
magazines, and had very recently COM
pleted a study of Saint Joan of Arc
called Saving Angel" In his earlier
years he was an instructor both at Yale
and Harvard. He went from Yale during
the first World War and served as q pri-
vate, returning TO this country In 1919.
It was about this time that an idea OF
long standing with him, to study for the
Catholic priesthood, was fulfilled. His
entire priestly work was spent with the
students at Yale.
Another OF his great interests was the
starting OF the ST. Thomas More Chapel,
and the st. Thomas More Association.
The chapel was completed several years
ago and has since been OF great interest
because OF It's unusual design. Through
a special Vatican permission Father
Riggs was permitted TO celebrate Mass
In October In honor OF the Feast OF st.
Thomas More which occurs In the sum-
mer, 60 that the students could partici-
pate. In the death Of Father Riggs the
state, the city Of New Haven and the Yale
students lose Q Staunch churchman,
friend, scholar, and highly respected
member Of the community.

Administrator Brown Is facing the
probability OF a test to determine just
how far limited grants Of wartime au-
thority can be stretched.
Laymen have assumed that the Emer-
gency Price Control Act OF 1042 just
about suspended peacetime restrictions
upon federal powers In this field But
some industries, feeling that they have
turned the other cheek until they are
dizzy, have read the text, and have dis
covered that there Is q statutory ceiling
upon OPA's actions.
A field day for lawyers Is predicted un-
less - and here Is the governments out

In Dealing With Rata

The first reaction, when President
Roosevelt told US that the Japanese had
executed some OF Jimmy Doolittles
Tokyo bombers, was ian eye for an eye"
--- let's murder man for man. But we
are civilized from the heart out, and not
merely from the skin part way In. We
aren't Japs and we aren't Huns. The
hysterical demand for revenge In kind
left It's sponsors feeling bit ashamed OF
themselves.
Now we have time TO consider more
calmly what we should do, and why.
With the deepest horror and loathing, In
full recognition that the linen" who
could do such thing are not men, but
q particularly low form OF animal life,
we might as well face certain facts. To
execute Jap for Jap, with or without tor
ture, would not bring back TO life the
heroes who have been murdered In Tokyo,
nor would It salve the wounds OF those
who have been tortured but not killed,
10 execute Jap for Jap, or ten for one,
or 10 torture all the Japs In our hands
with every device ever created by Sadists,
would not influence the fate OF American
fighting men who may fall into Nipponese
hands In future.
10 the Japanese, human life Is OF no
account except as II may contribute to
their own welfare. They will use against
Us our humane instincts, knowing that
We will not sink TO their level land not
caring particularly whether we do--for
