Three to One

The American chiefs of staff seem to
have answered effectively those who were
disturbed because, repeatedly, 73 per cent
of the second 'front.' invasion force will
be made up of Americans. The British,
say the chiefs of staff, "are going to put
in everything they have got, and we are
going to put in everything we can get
there" If there is any better formula
for invading the continent and realizing
General Eisenhower's hope to end the
European war this year, none of the
critics has suggested it. We might just
as well get it through our heads right
away that this is not somebody elSe'S
war 1t is our war, just as much as theirs.
Our men are dying and more of them are
going to die. Our men are being manned,
and more of them are going to be
manned. Our national future depends
upon the outcome. We have to con-
tribute, to the full extent of our resources
in men, as we'll as in materiel, to making
that outcome favorable.
There have been no noticeable COM
plants because the British were supply
ing more than their share of the men in
Africa, in Sicily, in Italy American fail

our Allies, all except Russia smaller ma
tons than we, have exhausted their abil-
ity to supply soldiers. We, who were
slow on the uptake and have millions OF
men not yet in uniform, must step in to
fill the gap. There is nothing wrong
about that We are not trying to buy
our way out of this war with metal and
wood fabricated into machinery, while
our Allies do the dying. Any man who
ever wore the uniform of this country
would resent the insinuation that we are
that yellow.
There are, the good Lord knows,
enough things about the conduct of this
war to be criticized. We do our best to
call attention to them, without ever sue
ceedingg in skimming the thickest sour
cream. Let's stick to things about which
the laymen know something, and let the
military experts decide how many men
they can rake and scrape, from here and
there, to carry out the biggest, most haz-
ardous, most momentous invasion in
world history.

A Policeman Passes

There is no individual more pleasant or
conscientious than a pleasant police
man on his beat We have them in our
own city and you find them in other
cities as WELL That is why readers were
pretty much distressed and indignant
when they saw in the news columns this
week that the smiling cop, Patrolman
Patrick Malone at Myrtle avenue and
Flatbush Avenue Extension in Brooklyn,
N. Y, was killed at his post by hit-and
run driver Up here we did not know
Patrick Malone, but he represents all
policemen in similar posts who stand for
hours directing traffic, pleasant to all
and giving assistance when and where it
is needed
The menace known as the hit-and-run
driver ranks among the most vicious and
blameable culpritS of the day. There is
time when driver hits and keeps going
and does not realize what he has done,
Many an animal gets picked off this way.
But seldom is it likely that an individual
is struck without the driver aware of the
fact.
Pat" Malone of Brooklyn was victim
Of q present day lawlessness and indiffer-
ence that is growing. CareleSsness, ire
sponSibility and indifference are ram
pant, especially among our youth. They
feel no responsibility about school or
work. They are not told they HAVE to
do thus and so at home. Children just
IN their teens are given plenty of leeway.
The results are not good. This is far
cry from the smiling policeman who was
hit and left in the street in Brooklyn, but
somehow or other all these incidents tie
up with a present day responsibility
among our American youth. With them
nothing matters.

Ida M. Tarbell paved the way for many
women journalists that followed her
example. She was eighty-six years old
at the time of her death this week. His
torians, biographer, and literary trust
buster she made a name for herself
among the topnotcherS in writing.
Born in Pennsylvania she came from
the back woods you might say, since her
father cleared the land and blazed trail
around his acres. Graduating from col
lege in 1880 she was an outstanding
character since women in those days did
not wander far from home, especially go
ing in for higher education.
She was an accurate reporter of the
events which she described; real news
paper woman of the old school for facts.
She had no set pattern, yet she was
very definite reporter, since she told
enough but not too much. Big business
and industry we're her meat, and about
them she wrote, it is said, fearlessly and
accurately. Women reporters are more
common now than in Ida Tarbell'S early
days. However, she had something on
the ball that the present generation lacks.
Her death ends distinguished career
which one may now read in her autobi-
ography published a few years back

The Special Session

Special legislative sessions are often
regarded with the same suspicious eye
that faStenS on a fruit out of season.
Connecticut has had its fair share, but
not an overdose of the former. For this
we may be thankful There have been
sessions called for specific purposes at
which efforts were made to do everything
but what was originally planned. For the
session to be called at Hartford later this
month an aggenda of seven matters has
been prepared. 1t does not look like a
controversial meeting and with the Re-
rublicans dominating both houses there
should really be no trouble in enacting
the legislation planned.
AS to the formal of the several different
pieces of legislation, though, it would
seem as ii there might be public inSpec-
ton of the same well in advance of the
day on which the legislators resume their
tasks. For example many of us are GER
tainly in favor of every effort being
made to see that men and women in
military service be given the opportunity
to vote. Like all of us who have been
enrolled as electors they now possess
the right, but through circumstances of
war are prevented from casting ballot
and regularly constituted elections. So

by the ballot to desire to do something
about making those ballots readily
available.
Governor Raymond E. Baldwin places
emphasis on passage of some form Of leg
islation assuring Servicemen and women
of franchise facility. But what will it
avail him or the Connecticut Legislature
or any other state legislative body, for
that matter, if the federal government
is not cooperative in this respect. In the
falls of 1912 and 1943 the right to vote
by absentee ballots was made available
to those in service Some availed them
selves of it; others didn't for various rea-
sons. Not until such voting becomes a
simple procedure and the eligible men
and women can be readily informed as
to candidates, parties, etc., will the solu-
ton be at hand And then there is grave
doubt that the vote from the camps or
the front lines will satisfy those who now
clamor the loudest that such opportun-
ity be provided

Unauthorized

Wage increases granted by three small
Philadelphia firms, aggregating $4,000
for the year, have been rejected by the
regional War Labor Board as unauthor-
lied. Therefore, the employees cannot de-
duct them, as operating expenses, for tax
purposes.
Apparently the employees who I'M
doubleday now will lose their raises -
weren't very bright. They failed to join
union with a spokesman whose voice is
loud enough to frighten the White House
and scare Congress into conniption fits.

of the world. Riches, power. social
position, prestige. and comfort -
these are the things which count,
says the world. The New Testament
gives this philosophy Of life the lie.
In the early chapters Of the Old
Testament. we find the story Of a
group of men who set themselves TO
building a tower so high that It
would reach the heavens. When
God observed what they had In
mind, He reached down with His
little finger, destroyed the tower.
COMPOUNDED mems speech. and scat
tered them to the ends Of the
earth.
God destroyed the tower builders
because they were secularists. They
Wanted themselves In pride and
believed that by their own efforts
they could create something which
would defy the Lord and Master OF
the universe.
Secularism In all It's forms par
takes Of this character. II glorifies
the earthly and desplses the heay-
enly. It prizes the things that art
seen and desplses the things that
are unseen.

A GIFT TO THE NATION
(Hartford Times


In deciding their home at Hyde
Park to the United States. Pres
ident Roosevelt and Mrs. Roosevelt
have made a handsome gift to the
nation, the value of which will be
appreciated much more by future
generations than by the present
one.
For the last decade or so the Hyde
Park house has been a sort of sum-
mer White House. There the Pres
ident and Mrs. Roosevelt have en-
tertained most Of the distinguished
foreign visitors who in the last doz-
en- years have come to our shores.
The historical importance Of the
estate is not to be doubted.
Some years ago the President
gave the nation the Roosevelt Men,
orial Library, built on a riot con-
tanning l6 acres of his Hyde Park
property. There he intends that
his historical papers may he avail

acres of beautifully Handicapped
grounds go with the gift OF his
home. but the President still has
left some 60 acres. He reserves the
use Of the estate during his life and

The Farm, my dear. has still some depths un-
Young Kit, though smart takes up a lot OF time
Life here, as there is frozen and benumbed,
Quite out OF tune, no rhythm, only rhyme.
The Farm remains, thin unbroken span
Between the Past and all our Futures hope;
But Ben cannot read your latest plan.
My angry tears have blurred your pencils scope;
The Farm is there, short five miles away,
But kit, though seven months, needs constant care
And, as you know our car Is marked with "a,
