WHAT'S THE RUSH?

Advocates of permanent compulsory
military service for the United States
are vociferously pressing for quick
passage of legislation establishing
such system. They allege that the
people, the press, etc., are for com
pulsory service after the war and ar
que that now is the time to act. They
fear, and say SO in SO many words,
that when peace comes, support for
permanent conscription will wane. In
other words, they fear the proposal
will be rejected when -minder-
ness takes the place of war-minded-
ness and it's hysterias and alterations.
There are two big things that

TRAFFIC FINES
TO STAND

Council agreed to retain the pres
ent scale of fines for traffic viola
tions at discussion in Caucus Mon
day night, regarding changes that
might be necessary in enforcement of
certain parking regulations when
parking meters are placed in operation
later this fall
After brief debate, all seven men,
bers voted to keep the fine for over
time parking at So for the first Of
fense; So for the second and SIS for
subsequent offenses. At session two
weeks ago, it was proposed to reduce
the fine to 81, but Fred Reister, di-
rector at law, said that such charge
would require rewriting of the entire
traffic code.

Our Common Interests
By
Ruth Taylor

War has brought about the kinship
of common suffering. But when the
war clouds have been swept aside and
peace once more reigns on earth, will
there be unity-the same unity as in
time of trouble?
Common suffering has welded to-
gether people of different nationali-
ties as though they were members of
the same family Common aims have
bound together people of different
faiths. Common ambitions have CO.
ordinated the actions of people of
different backgrounds.
Will we now let rival ambitions
separate US? Common ambition is
working together toward the same
goal-a prize which will be shared.
Rival ambition is striving for goal
which must be seized for the benefit
of one and the detriment of the 9TH
er.
After all, what does common mean :?
According to the dictionary it is
usual, average, regular, and pertain
ing to or participated in by all. There
must be no division either in war or
in peace in democracy. AS Victor
Olander said, "The foundation Of unity
is the equality of status of the citi-
zens." In short, if law is to be effec-
tive it must be applied always, every
where and te- all.
We have learned from bitter ex-
perience that to be truly free, men
must have the assurance of all alike
of an opportunity to work as free
men in the company of free men. No
man can be confident in perptuity of
his own safety unless and until every
man, woman and child is equally safe.
If we are to fulfill our duty as
Americans in the trying days ahead,
we must, without setting aside any

1T is NOT WORKING

Just as organized labor predicted,
lengthening of the hours worked by
civilian employees of the Army Service
Forces is causing trouble. New York
offices of the ASF have had enough
of the 54-hour week and have gone
back to 48 hours.
The New York Sun reported that
the month in which the 54-hour week
was in effect in the New York area
saw San aggravation of the working
ills of absenteeism, tardiness and res
ignations." Similar reports come from
Washington and other cities with ATS
offices.
All this, the American Federation
of Government employees had fore
seen and predicted. The federation
forecast that exactly this sort of
thing would follow upon the lengthen-
ed hours, and SO do persons generally
who are informed in labor matters.
Yet the Army "brass hats" went
right ahead with their longer hours
program, though they did have wis
dom enough to give field offices dis
cretion as to the work week.

LASTING TRIBUTE"

Our fleet is growing at pace that
is little short of miraculous. It's
growth could only have been made
possible by the energies and skills of
great and resourceful people. Most
of all, the progress we have made in

self a lasting tribute to the American
workman. He is doing more than l
can tell you to win the war.-Admiral

of our individual rights, work to-

democracy, to see to it that there are
opportunities for each man to ad-
vance according to his talents and
abilities, to extend friendly hand
to those who need help, to keep the
laws which we ourselves have made.
Only faith behind democracy can fos-
ter the common virtues which are nec-
essary for self government and for
the preservation of our unity.
Centuries ago Euripides stated it
thus:
Look to the things of God.
Know you are bound to help all
who are wronged,
Bound to constrain all who de-
stroy the law.
What else holds state to state
save this alone,
That each one honors the great
laws of right.
We have done this in war. We must
do it in peace.

FURLOUCH SYSTEM
 FACING PROBLEMS
Danaher Discusses Diff. cuIties Expected to Affect
 Many Connecticut Men

Hartford, October iD-Connectlcut families have an understandable, lively interest in the early return of their sons now overseas, United States John A .DanAher said n an address here today in which he dis. cussed the difficulties to be expected in the furlough system which af- Iects so many thousands Of connecs ticut men.
 Due to the many letters he has re- ceiyed from anxious parents, the Senator devoted one Of his daily series Of Washington reports to this subject of great public interest.
 "TheTe have been many Btates ments about the return Of members Of the armed forces after they have served overseas Q period of IS monthS," he said. "A great many people found that their hopss had been perhaps too optimistically raised by such statements, for l know that have received a great many letters from Connecticut on this subject. That is especially true of the families and friends of meul- beFs of the Connecticut Nationa! Guard who have served overseas now. net for c matter of months, but for years.
 They have been in the thick of the fighting, also, and have acquit- ted themselves with magnificent valor and with great achievement. Sc, at frequent intervals have taken Up the matter with the War Department, and 1t has become quite thoroughly apparent that there is no universal rule of fota- ticn or at least of return to the United States after IS months of service.
 "In the first place. we are told that the decision must be made by the area commander in the particu- lar theater Of operations, for he knows best what may be the needs of the service ct 6 particular time snc place. Again, there is the ques. ton of adequate shiping facilities" ]"
 Senator Danaher read excerpts from some of the letters he has rec ceived from youths on foreign fronts and said that he had gleaned Q great deal of information upon sub jecte closest to the hearts of our people and has tried to be helpful to them.
 He also said that "a Senator who has spent his fife in Connecticut, who is acquainted with the needs of our people, is obviously in a position to render sefvice which is based on understanding ana sympathetic con- siceration for the problems of our Connecticut people"
