The Sweat of His Brow

A man in far Western city who owns
his home and has family, is now earn
ing approximately $92 weekly. His is not
a temporary war job. He works in the
communications industry. He is an
almost invisible speck in what is so popu-
larly called middle class America.
He is good citizen - the best type that
this country can produce.
But this middle class American is wor-
ried. Every other week when he receives
his check, he finds thai $45 has been
deducted - taxes, bonds. old age inSur-
ance, etc. He is worried because he is
thrifty and that $45 deduction virtually
eliminates the possibility of gradually
accommodating savings, that is, savings
over which he can exercise his individual
judgment The $45 taken from him every
two weeks is Subtracted from his check
by the company for which he works. He
never sees it. 1t goes directly to the Fed
eral government where it is eventually
turned over to various agencies to be APP
piled to essential" activities among
them Social Security. Money that this
man labored long hours to earn, and
which he has never even seen, is eXpend-
ed by unknown officials thousands OF
miles away who know or care nothing
about his personal affairs.
This man, this ordinary American citi-
zen, does not begrudge in the slightest,
the money given to the government from
his check for taxes and bonds to fight
the war But when some bureaucrat now
proposes "free' medical care, or free Us
or free that, under a greater paternalis-
tic bureaucracy, he becomes more than
skeptical He sees red. He knows that
every such scheme means more deduc-
tons from his dwindling check and less
chance for him to shape his future on his
own initiative. His money, together with
that of millions of other citizens, is keep
ing the bureaucrat going. And some day
the bureaucrat is destined to feel his

Rev. Francis Hinchey

The death of Rev. Francis J. Hinchey,
pastor of st. JoSeph's church, Whitman
tic, removes another we'll known figure
in parochial life in the diocese of Hart
ford. Just few weeks ago the much
loved Rev. Joseph McCuen passed away.
Saturday news came of the death OF
Father Hinchey. Like Father McCuen,
Father Hinchey was associated for con-
siderable number of years with this city,
having been assistant at the Church Of
the Blessed Sacrament
Father HincheyS death in the prime
of life will be greatly regretted. His
many friends here felt deep sorrow to
hear of his passing He possessed a
bright happy nature and in his parish
duties and other associations about Wa
terbury some years ago gained many
friends. His kindness to ali and interest
in his fellowman stamped him as an eX-
ceptional man and jealous priest.
In his parochial duties he visited the
Waterbury Hospital where he was
esteemed by all creeds in his priestly
administration. Always hard worker,
he carried on his priestly duties after
leaving Waterbury in the various assign
ments given him in the same capable

Or Tea, Even

Ernie Pyle, con Through from war
reporting, feels that scarcities on the
home front don't seem important after
what he has seen on the battle fronts.
He couldn't buy a satisfactory tea
strainer, but he asked "did you ever hear
of anybody dying for lack of tea
strainer?"
The answer is no. We never even heard
of anybody dying for lack of tea. In fact,
up to now we have never heard of any
body suffering more than petty incon-
venience for lack of anything that has
become unavailable in this country.
There are going to be more shortages,
and they will be annoying. But suffer
ing? Nobody on the home front knows
what suffering means, except those whose
loved ones will never come back from the
battle fronts
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-12-06
Simplify Point Regulation

The president of the Independent Retail
Meat Dealers Association of Portland,
Oregon, says: 1.-THE public does not have
the points for much meat after it has pur-
chased butter and cooking fats Meat
markets are finding it quite difficult to
move roasts and other higher point values.
The butcher can't move his meat, and as
a result the meat is backing up in the
coolers. The markets are not buying
from the packers, and before long this sit
uation will back up to the farm and the
farmer will not be able to sell his
livestock"
There is bound to be controversy about
the rationing and regulation of food. But
certainly in a country like the United
States, there is no necessity of anyone
going meatless. We should constantly
aim to make regulation less burdensome
for the producer, the distributor and
consumer. Only by that process will we
encourage increased output.

Lucky Lepke

Louis Nepke) Buchalter, one of the
most vicious characters in modern GRIM
inal history, credited with responsibility
for perhaps score of murders, still lives
because the federal Department of JUS
tice and the state of New York have be-
come engaged in silly battle of priori-
ties
Attorney-General Biddle ignores re-
quests that Lepke be granted a condi-
tional pardon so that Now York can hang
him. Mr.. Biddle appears to consider
l2-year Imprisonment on a narcotics
charge of greater Importance than ex-
ecution for murder.
Common sense and legal precedent are
on the side of New York State. 1t is hard
10 believe that presidential politics do not
figure heavily in the unfortunate i'm
paSSe.

Views OF The Press

Americans arrest the transfer of
government from municipalities and
states they will ultimately lose
their liberty and freedom" The eff
fort to thWart that evenutality is
part of the "cosmic death struggle"
that DR.. Jorkensen portrayed as to-
days fundamental conflict.
Governor Baldwin admits that do
cal and state governments have fail
ed to do the job that the people
wanted to have DONE" His remedy
for the Capitalization of power re-
sulting from this default is to have
communities and States do as much
as they can for themselves, letting
the Federal Government merely sup
plelnent local administration. He is
opposed to passing the buck" up
to Washington. His efforts in the
field of postwar problems, for ex-
ample, are proof that Governor
Baldwin is not merely giving lip
service to the fundamental principle
of representative democracy. He has
cen the needs for mastery over the
disintegrating forces of democracy"
to use phrase from DR.. Jorgensen,
and has accepted the challenge.
Government in action, as we'll as
education, must be recognized as
tremendous force" in preserving
democracy as we understand it,"

Optimistic Willis

Paul s. Willis, president of the Grocery
Manufacturers of America, opposing the
administrations food subsidy policy, crit
icizes "unfounded, frightening state
ments'' on food shortages and high prices
He says the food supply situation is i'm
proving and that prices are not alarm
ingly high, or likely to be.
Many who agree in opposing subsidies
cannot 60 further with M. Willis. There
are food shortages serious ones - at
the consumer level, which is where food
shortages hurt. Prices are alarmingly
high already and appear higher because,
so often, the cheaper items are unob-
tainable and it is necessary to pay for
the more costly.
Whose fault this is can be argued. What
to do about it is debatable. But search
ties and high prices are facts.

UNIONIZED CITY employees
(Hartford Courant)

Nf1dl UlOId NOuIdIlIJ
The custodial workers of New
York City's schools are organized in
three unions, one of them an af
filiate of the G. I. O. and two under
the jurisdiction of the A. F. of L.
Recently all made demands for wage
increases for janitorS, electricians
and other workers. Mayor La
Guardia chose to do business with
the A. F. of L. affiliates, yet the in
creases to which he consented ap-
piled to all employees irrespectively
of unionmembership. AS usual the
demands were backed by threat
to strike which, if carried out, would
have closed many if not all the
schools The public interest was
subordinated to the right to strike.
Notwithstanding the mayors &C
ton, the G. I. o. union called a
strike although its members, too, re-
ceived the wage increase. Leon
zwicker, regional director of the
union, claimed that 2300 OF the
5000 employees would not work. At
the close Of the first day of the
strike" 1877 school custodians or
their employees had failed to report
for their usual duties. These G. I. o.
members were promptly replaced by
A. F.. of L. men.
There is absolutely no justifica-
ton for unionizing city employees
in any department. 1t is gratifying
that those INSCRIPTIONS folk who
would make school children the vic
tim of their demands now find
themselves off the public pay roll
although their places are at present
being taken by other unionists. At
least, the A. F. of L. leadership re-
vealed itself to be less arrogant.
