A Thought for Today
The Maloney.Mo Bill

Modernizing and stream-lining of the procedure of the Senate and House aS provided for in the bill of Senator Francis IT. Maloney (Conn-D), recently passed in the Senate, and companion bill now being presented before the House by Rep A. s. Monroney (Okla.-D) is a pro- poSa that should meet with general approval.
 Of primary importance within this bill Is that 1t provides for permanent legal and research staffs to work with and for the congressman thereby enabling the latter to familiarlze themselves with each reso- luton before they encounter 1t on the floor of either House.
 This is more necessary today In view of the tendril-llke growth of the many agencies and bureaus and their complex. itleS of laws and near-laWs. It would require Paul Bunyan of legislator today to personally cope with the in- tricacieS and multiplicity of the directiveS and rules that are counterparts of these Sub-branches of our legislative govern ment. It is a known fact that our legis- lators, particularly those in the Senate, are today swamped with the divers machinery involved in the operation of these bureaus
 To further emphasize the need for re- arrangement of the procedures methods of both Houses we need only to view an index of the many "laWs', more com monly known as directives which today confront the people of this nation Many of these laws are couched in terms ana phraSeology which baffeS even those who write them, Tn many instances the term inology and construction of these direc- tlves are so formidably obtuse that few of our legislators have actual knowledge lpf their contents.
 Under present conditions Congress is required, out of necessity, to borrow the services of the legal and research experts of these bureaus and agencies to aid them in transating the terms of the proposed legislation. In many instances these same experts advising the legisla- tors are the ones who originally were responsible for the creation of these reso- lutIons. It IS not cynical Indulgence to express the belief that in the face of such q circumstance the agency and not the ConereSsmen, and hence not the people, will receive the greater share of consider ation in the final analysis of the pro- posed measure.
 Members of the Senate, by the rapid passage of the Maloney measure, have given full expression of their approval Of It's contents. We understand that the companion bill presented to the House by Senator Monroney Is meeting with some opposition from the latter members, put will eventually meet with similar success This phase Is but one of the many import ant phases of the Maloney- y-Monroney Dill We hope that by the time the next session of Congress assemblies the measure will be fully shaped for final adoption

Summer Into Autumn

There's a haze on the meadows these late afternoons and running into twilight, but 1t is not bright golden" one as Curly sings 1t in the still popular oklahoma" but more or less of soft nauVe and lavender one. The haze that we are familiar with here in New England where our Autumns arrive gradually.
 September seems to mean Autumn, but plenty of Summer fingers during much of the month. However, once the first week passes the out-of-doors aspect changes, 1t IS a quiet and subtle change, a sort of gradual blending, softening and fading out of the brightness of Sum- mer as seen in the bright flowers and lush green. AS the flowers fade and the green becomes less striking we see the first sign of red in the woodbine on the wall or fence.
 Looking across the hills 1t Is still sum- mer and yet there is that indefineable change. Things look different; they smell different. You get the first whiff of ripening grapes and apples The sweet scent of clematIS comes In the window The glowing sunset follows lovely late afternoon haze. It seems to be Autumn, all of @ sudden.

more terrible with advancing technology, When physicians, engineers, business men, laborers and farmers look upon the effort to preserve peace the way they regard the war effort today, mankind may finally end the scourge of war.
 Dr. Jacobson, in this "plea for Clearer Thinking About Our Allies, Our Foes, Ourselves and Our Future" analyses the plans for safeguarding peace that have been advanced officially and unoff1cially. He points up their points of strength and weakness. And with his conclusion that however we plan, we can agree that the prime essential to better world is the continued security of America" there can be no argument. We can go further, and agree with pr. Jacobson's final re- solve, which he prints in his book, for all Americans in this time of stress.

And then there's Thanksgiving to con slder. AS the first red tinges the sumac, to borrow from former Governor Cross, we look ahead and begin to wonder, IS It stlil a moveable holiday, or static, as or olo, The President restored 1t to It's orlgina!i time not long ago, the last Thursday ol November. However, 1t has not been OH cially declared as of l944' And 1t seems we have five Thursdays this year m November.

Planning the Peace

We Americans have proved conclusive ly that we know how to plan the war. The Nazis and the Japanese know that they
 miscalculated badly when they assurn- ed that our great productive capacity could not be turned from peacetime pursuits to total war. Unfortunately, all this planning is for destructive pur- pose. When we have won the war, we have only def1ected from us great dan ger that threatened to engulf civiliza- ton and bring back the Dark Ages
 What is needed now is at least equally able and effective planning to safeguard peace. Having shown what we as nation can do to work for victory in war, we must now learn to work for peace. Eternal vigilance is the price of peace, and our failure to remember this during the period between the two wars has cost us untold treasure and the lives of hun dreds of thousands of our men.
 A powerful plea planning for peace IS made by Dr. Edmund Jacobson, director of the Laboratory for Clinical Physiology of Chicago, in a striking and unusual book he has just published, "The Peace we Americans Need" Dr. Jacobson is d physician and a doctor of philosophy not s politican or an economist. He IS accustomed to dealing with the painful facts of everyday life and to advising neople how to better themselves. In his new book, he turns his lifetime ex- perience with human motives and per- sonalities to the present day problems, analvzing our allies as well as ourselves facinr dreadful enemies after the war as well as now.
 The fact that he is sufficiently con cerned about this problem to write book about it is in itself hopeful sign Onlv when entire nations work for peace rather than a small group of gealots, are we likely to escape the ravages of wal fare. which have become progressively

wood substitutes and plastic mae terials are being devised so rap- idly that 1t is almost impossible to keep up with them.
 An example of this rapid de- velopment in scientific conversion of ordinary wood is an apparatus de- veloped at Brooklyn Polytechnic In- stitute. When sawdust is fed inc to one end of the machine, wood- sugar pours out the other end. The wood-sugar is not good enough to eat, but is valuable in making in- dustrial alcohol. This same ma chine, utilizing only 10 per cent of the nations sawdust waste, would make plastics sufficient for the four million automobiles and one and a quarter million telephones that the public now lacks.
 So it is that science matches on. apparently not having heard that there are no more frontiers to con- uuer.

CONCORD TIME
CHartiord courant)


 Now is the time when the blue and pungent Concord grape hangs heavy on the vine, awaiting only the gentle twist to part 1t from the mother stem, Then 1t will speed toward kitchen to bs transformed by willing hands to jellieS ana other dainties that will cheer dur ing the long New England winter
 There are sweeter grapes than Concords, but none more fiavoriul' sturdy they are, with none Of the dainty, thin skinned sweetness oi California grapes, but rather re. fiecting of California grapes, but rather refiecting the hardy climate in which they grow. Domesticateo, yes, but still not too far removed from the wild ancestor that Ephraim Bull. the gold-beater, carefully nur- tured and domesticated in his Con- cord garden. And homespun too, Other grapes may be plucked oy cunning fellows who will make from them the drinks of Bacchus, but not your Concord. This is strictly a family grape that disappoints tne would-be tippler.
 This is the grape that, when transformed into spicy jelly of translucent fire, delights the hearts of children. In thousands of New England kitchens even now the in. imitable fragrance of the Concord permeates those happy homes, as these lovely blue fruits go through their annual transmutation. Soon will stand the jars, with fresh paraffin sealing the tops. lined up in satisfying numbers, awaiting their call to service at the table.
 Well is it written on the grave stone of Ephraim Bull: "He sowed-- others reaped."

FOREST WONDERS
(Hartford Courant)


 Sometimes, when we read the breath taking blueprints made for industry of tomorrow, 1t may seem as though the poets and visionaries had crept into the ranks of the scientintsts. Yet many if not most Of these reports are based on pres ent-day knowledge and are not merely dreams. For example, in a recent report to the American Chemical society, Dr. Robert s. Aries of Yale University tells of the enormously increased value of our woodlands in the future because of the many useful ends to which wood products will be put. New chamical discoveries will permit the extraction of rubber, paint. dyes. alcohol, medicines, sugars, yeast, ink perfume, plastics-to mention just a few derivatives-from ordinary for- est timber.
 Tn pr. Aries opinion wood will be so useful in supplying our mani fold future needs that 1t will no longer be used in ordinary building construction. Even this will leave no untitled needs, however, because

Though have strlVen To rid me of the heavenly plague and given No franchise to the wind-borne phrase, the clear And dulcet word as bells in mad career Make tuneful din, these mellow tones have lined The chamber of my rapt and echoing mind.
