"a at San Francisco, tells of a
union meeting addressed by
BRO. b. B. Jones" a torpedoed
American merchant sailor.
Mr.. Jones related that all sur
vivors from his torpedoed ship
were picked up by a Swedish
vessel whose crew, Seamen and
officers were good rank and
filers" tRed language for inter-
nat ona CommdniStS). Bro.
Jones counseled the workers:
"If the people want TO win the
peace, political action on a broad
front must he gotten under way
at once"
Then the bulletin concludes
by saying:
BRO. Jones pointed out why
the Red army and Russian peO-
pie were able TO hand Hitler n
licking was because the Russian
workers own the means of
production and did not have
profiteers TO hinder limited war
production"
The allegiance Of Bro. Jones
and his sympathetic hearers,
who now eagerly print his views,
is obviously not primarily
directed in this war toward win
ming for our way of life.
MOST confusing aspect of
Nl Standley's observations was
the simultaneous speech of Vice
President Wall lace, warning
Americans they would never at
tain postwar peace If they
double-cross Russia"
Standby and Wallace seem 10
have the official shoe on oppo-
site feet.
But juggling of shoes is the
order of the day. Mrs. RooSe-
welt announced that fourth term
talk should be cut of. because
il would hurt the immediate war
effort.
Her nfriends, like Senator
Mead of New York, who would
not for the world say word she
would not want said, simulta-
neously endorsed the fourth
term.
All the talk has been coming
from such sources which are
obviously convinced that. de-
spite what Mrs. Roosevelt said,
she will not be displeased to any
serious extent. =
All thus seems 10 be confu-
sion. But is il?

To The Editor

TO THE EDITOR:
I HAVE just read the letter
signed by B. Smith about the
Clio attempting to enforce the
price ceiling laws. wonder If
B. Smith realizes that when he
speaks of the Go he is speak
ing of the working people.
How could the people who are
supposed to enforce these laws
know who is breaking them if
other people, who have been
overcharged, did not report
these offenses
If you have ever called on the
OPA office, you must know that
the people employed there are
not sufficiently trained to handle
such a tremendous job. Some
of the clerks don't SEEM to re-
alize that they are there TO
serve the public. but they treat
us as though we were standing
in a bread hne, begging for a
handout. Perhaps they are not
public servants, l MAY be
wrong on that.
I've been dealing with GER
tain fuel oil dealer four years.
On his last delivery ne advised
me that he could not deliver oil
10 my home any more, because
he is not allowed enough gaSo-
line. and l am out Of the district
10 which he is limited. Other
dealers called told me that the
OPA forbidS them 10 take new
customers.
/ get home from my defense
Job too late to drive out TO the
OPA office in person. so i
phoned instead. ] explained the
whole story TO the lady who
answered.
She apparently heard only
half of what / said for she an
swered with this bit of sarcasm,
What do you want me 10 do
buy your dealer a new truck ?"
Is this her job to be witty" and
sarcastic?
She then gave me name oil
another OPA clerk and told me
10 call him about the matter
But before she hung up she for
| got 10 tell me where or how Ia
reach him. or how TO keep my
home warm for the children in
/ the meantime.
I think 3. Smith has the cart
/ before the horse when he says
that the Go officials tell Us
what 10 do. It's Just the oppo-
[ site. They are our representa-
tiveS. We tell them what the
|. trouble is and they do their best
TO help us get square deal.

Penalty on Marriage

ONE' of the first undertakings of the Congress,
~ now in session, will be the preparation OF new
revenue legislation in which national interest will be high
In one respect least national interest in this mat
ter must be especially keen.
According to informed reports, the administration
intends to try make revenue legislation null
lfy the community property laws prevailing in eight
states and to deprive income taxpayers in all states of
'the right of separate returns.
This intention was pursued in the last Congress and
frustrated
1t has been pursued and frustrated in many past
scssons of Congress.
But, apparently. it is not to be abandoned as long
as the present administration is in power.
Whether or not it always be frustrated is some
thing for the American people to determine
1T WAS public objection protest and opposition which
4 defeated the administration this issue all past
occasions
Of course the public view of the matter has not
changed, and should prevail now as in the past
But for obvious reasons, the difficulties attending
acceptance of the public view will be greater In this Con-
gress than before.
Many staunch defenders of the community property
laws and of the principle of separate returns are not
in the Congress now.
Their ranks seem to be especially depleted in the
ways and means committee of the House of Representa-
tves where revenue legislation originates.
Therefore, the substantial majority OF the American
people which opposes notification OF the basic principle
involved largely without its former spokesman in Con-
gress' on which previous reliance was placed
THE fight for retention of the principle, then, must
i not merely be made all again in the present
Congress but must be made HARDER.
The American people must make this hard fight, and
find spokesman Congress necessary, the penalty
for doing these things being the obvious of losing
important RIGHT.
The right of the individual 10 make separate in
come tax return Is important
If he is deprived of il by virtue Of entering into
marriage which exactly what the proposed
device of Joint returns would efect-he will be sub
hitting to a very real and fundamentally unjust PEN
Atty ON MARRIAGE
IT HAS been made clear why the present admins
traton is insstcnt about penalizing marriage
through joint income tax returns.
II is not because Of the fraconally larger federal
revenues which would result.
The largest estimates Of the increased which
would be thus derived have always been less than half
billion dollars annually
BY contrast, the administration could save TWO
BILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY through elimination
and reduction Of non-esseta and non-defense federal
expenditures.
Since it neglecs to avail itself of this larger amount
easily available and earnestly desired by all the people,
why does the administration set itself avidly TO the
collection of the smaller and unpopular and harmful
amount?
1t is too bad the American people are compelled to
make this hard fight in their interest often But
since they compelled to make it, they should make it
effectively.

I AM speaking TO you on the

of the federal Union. This state
has responded and is doing its
full duty in the war effort, as
are the others.
When the day Of victory
comes and rehabilitation is at
hand. state and local govern
mentS must and should assume
a heavier burden in that pro-
gram than they have ever borne
before. They must put their
financial houses in order now.
They must lay aside some money
at once for a building program.
They must safeguard their re-
serves against unemployment.
We do not today worry about
the two-party system. II is re-
established in America. We can
and we must discuss issues

upon which they can decide.
The American people ought TO
know what is going on in the
war as long as it does not aid
the enemy This is after all our
government and public officials
are the servants of the people.
When they get any other no.
ton, it is time 10 turn them out.
THERE is a lot OF talking
l. today about a postwar world.
Some of it is very sincere. Some
of it is to becloud the issues and
take the minds OF our people off
the seriousness of the war and
the failure of many domestic
programs.
But, let us ever remember that
when liberty is lost in America
the hope of the world is dimmed.
When free discussion is sup

No one in or out Of service has

the vacuum he left there in a
very peculiar way. He said he
was busy fighting.
He left out all mention OF
American aid in his speech TO
the world last week. saying
Russia was carrying the brunt
of the fighting alone.
But more important TO skilled
phraSe-fencerS in the diplomatic
world at this end. all Stain S
recent speeches have taken the
position that he is not warning

tention of destroying Germany
as a nation, or even Germany
as a military POWERFUL only
Hitlerism.
These Moscow winds have
sown the seeds of suspicion
among the American people that
Russia may be fighting for her
self alone and therefore might
consider different kind of
peace than we would, perhaps
an earlier one.
To set forth these facts is
only simple truthful reporting.
None of the facts is secret, al
though the official reaction to
Standley's very limited state

bushes in Congress demanding
Standley's return.

plant real distrust which could
never be adjusted. Open ques-

The only thing remarkable
about Standley'S views 10 me
was their suggestion that while
Russia knows everything going
on in the United States and has

he is not fighting a war for

peace for himself by his deeds

council of Boy Scouts, Is chairman
Of the disaster committee, assisted
by Mrs. Mark l.. Sperry, Jr., and
Clyde Jennings, chairman Of the

The promise Of slightly warmer
weather for this afternoon offered
little cheer, for weather bureau ON
cials concede that the rise In tenn
perature will not be suflcient 70
cause any great reduction In the
amount Of fuel consumed.
While II Is estimated that the
number OF Waterbury families In
need Of fuel Is more than 1000, none
had applied for quarters In the des-
ignatSd centers for evacuees today,
and officials surfnise that the prac.
tice OF doubling up" Is the solution
for many. Friends and relatives

Gasoline dealers reported selling
kerosene were faced this morning
with lines Of persons OF both sexes
and all ages, carrying containers
for small allotments. Those who had
q supply on hand saw 1t quickly ex'
hausted.
State Fuel Administrator Wesley
Sturges conceding that Waterbury'I
problem was the worst In the state
with a larger backlog Of calls here
than anywhere else, said that the
plan to have so tank trucks bring
oil to Connecticut from Albany yes
terday had fallen through and that
only eight trucks could be found tc
make the trip.
Calls continued at the emergency
oil office today long after the allot-
ment Of oil had been distributed
and 1t Is probable that the number
of persons in need has grown larger
since yesterday.
Meanwhile the OPA is continuing
an investigation into alleged black
market operations In kerosene
here and the fire department has
received a report that an inferior
type of oil has been sold In the city
for use In q furnace. Lieut.. Eugene
Legge of the office Of Fire Mar
shall Dennis Lahey said complaint
about the quality Of furnace oil had
been received from "a reliable citi-

cation showed the complaint to be
warranted. Sale Of the oil by q Wa.
