Now Playing at the Capitol

An Army officer attached to the Senate Military Affairs Committee thinks that motion pictures might help the senators keep up with the war. Perhaps we're old-frogeyish, but we find the news It, tle diSquieting and beSet by many prob- lems. We are fond of both the Senate and the movies But how will they work as team To begin with, where will they put the screen? In the interest of good morale and good reporting, 1t couldn't possibly go on the press gallery side of the chamber. And wherever it's put they're going to lose one good block of seats and create bad angle of vision for others.
 There have been times when the. Sen ate could easily seat all its visitors in three sides of the gallery But free nov les would likely be quite drawing card and we don't mean to disparage the present quality of senatorial entertain xnent in saying SO. The senators won't want to offend their constituents or the press with bad seats. So 1t looks as If a wholesale architectural revision would be the only solution.
 This is just supposed to be wartime measure. But would the senators want to go back to the old arrangement of sound and no pictures? And besides, senators 4A0VV " 0OeskASA AAA VI SSV AAAVO V0SAA- ington movie houses the same as anybody else. Once they showed signs of wanting to retain movies in the seni-privacy of the Senate chamber, you can bet that Holly wood would bounce upon them. Newsreels and documentaries would give way to reg ular features. World premieres might take place on Capitol Hill. Hollywood would surely be lavishly persuasive, for there would be much to gain. Think of the publicity value of Senate opening --"Colossall" says Senator Breeze in the Congressional Record. But world pre- 1niereS would bring up another problem seating. Lobbyists would no longer be content to stand around in Hobbies. Pres sure groups would press for aisle seats in return for their support, Representatives, who have @ habit of dropping In on the Senate anyway, might vote to Shelve the tax bill in favor of Abbott and Costello, and come over en Tnasse.
 Then there would be problem Of ethics vs. estheticS. Could Republican fan of Bette Davis or Orson Welles pub licly sanction the Senate showing of a film starring these prominent Democrats2 Would Democratic senators stand for Republican Bing Crosby, even with Bob Hope and Dorothy Lafnour thrown in2 Yes, there would be lot of problems and drawbacks. But Senate movies would have at least one strong recommendation. They would certainly help to make fill busters endurable.

Politics As Usual

The surprising thing about this war time presidential campaign Is not that it is taking place at all (though even that seemed to surprise and impress some of our Allies and neighbors at flrst) but that 1t is so little different from all the others. Every voter must have thought that somehow 1t would be different this year. Grave tasks lay ahead, serious Issues were involved, many lives were al- ready lost in this war and many more were at stake. Surely these things would lend the campaign the dignity that 1t de- rnanded. But they didn't, and probably because no one, not even the professional politicians, realized quite how strongly the traditional manner of electioneering has fastened itself upon us So we suc- cumbed to mass political hypnotisnn, as is our quadrennial custom. There was some gravity and decorum at the beginning. But the candidates were simply starting up in low gear, and the whole country seemed to feel more natural when they shifted into high. The usual wave of ernotionalisn, exaggeration and equivoca- ton swept through both parties, and en- gl1lfed them.
 Now we are once again in the home stretch, and once again off1ceseekers and their confederates are eXpending breath, time and money on speeches designed to provide ammunition for voters, who have already made up their minds, to use against people of opposite political be- liefs, who have already made Up theirs. These speakers, more often than not, are responsible men and women in high places who would shudder at any other time to utter the rash and incorporate statements that issue from their lips to- day. But no one holds them morally re- sponsible. For, by an accepted self-de- teptiOn that is strange and subconScious, they and their hearers agree to believe tlhunderous half-truths and extravagant nonsense until Nov. 2. And thus once more the echoes and the radio waves re- sound with rhetoric, hyperbole and downright insult. And the candidates are Butdone by their supporters who, as sssnal circulate rumors which are not only ridiculous but disgraceful, and
 which could hardly have been planted by HEu the lowest eehel0n of professional

politics. Wide-eyed and gullible as chil- dren, the voters either believe them or dignity them by attempts at serious refu- tation.
 m the meantime, while all this has been going on, factory chimneys have kept on smoking as Roosevelt and Dewey supporters, side by side, have continued to turn out the tools of war. Meanwhile Germany has been entered and the Philip pines have been invaded, and men have died in battle, and victory has come closer. On Nov. 8 the national political trance will end, the people will rally be- hind the next president and continue the war as united nation, The presidential campaign hasn't been pretty. It never is. But even in wartime, 1t isn't fatal.

Death Comes to an Archbishop

The Primate of all England, the Arch bishop of Canterbury, passed away this week, his death coming at the age ot Slxty-three years, loss to the Church of England. The Archbishop was the son of the former Archbishop of Canterbury, the only such son ever to succeed his father.
 pr. William Temple, the Archbishop, was a friend of labor during his career and was very often the center of contro- verSy. His views were often pronounced daring, but he was always firm in his stand on labor, and was noted as liberal in his views. He was what is termed popular" as churchman, and because of his progressive views was thought to be well fitted for his position, particularly during these war years, and If he had lived, in the postwar years,
 He won distinction as preacher and writer, and as Archbishop of York and for the brief two and one half years as Arch bishop of Canterbury had a distinguished career.

NO BEDTIME HEADACHE
 (Bridgeport PoSt)

We believe that never agoin dur- ing this war will Americans have to go to bed with the feeling that the worst may happen during the night They no longer need have the fear that the war plans of the united Allies may be subject to the most violent and most unsatisfactory changes.
 one of the surprises which de- veloped during the past week wes the apparent concluion that the war will last longer against Ger many than had been previously be- lleved. Spearlleads of pessirniSfn were sent out from several sources, and 1t was indicated that the fight. ing would probably continue throughout this year and well into spring.
 This opinion fell like Q wet blan- ket on this country, for it has been taken for granted for several months, that unless all signs fail, Germany cannot hold out longer than the end of this year.
 We noticed that several coinmefl- tators were quick to jump to the conclusion that there might be something rotten in the back ground. They suspected, some of them at least, that the warningl about e longer war were inspired by political considerations, intended to benefit one of the presidential candidates. It did not seem possi. ble that any such sudden change In the war outlook could have de- veloped naturally.
 In no other war have develop mentS been watched so closely commented on so voluminousiy. oi subjected to suspicion from so many angles. A presidential year is always 6 time for super-suspicion, and this year is no exception to the rule.
 But in spite of any sensational predictions which may arise from

American Underground

The story of the American under ground" Is beginning to unfold with the landings in the Philippines. It is story which makes civilian life in occupied Europe almost pleasant by comparison. Members of the European resistance could move abroad in daylight and live a semblance of normal life, at least until they were suspected. But American civil ians in the Philippines knew only hiding and flight from an enemy even more brutal than the Nazis. White skin was Q death warrant. One story has been told of the civilian on Mlndanao who escaped with his wife and child and lived and fought with Filipino guerrillas. When hls wife became too i'll to move and the Japs were approaching, he shot the woman and child. Then he turned his gun on the Japs and killed many before he himself was killed.
 That Is only one story, story of tragedy and of humane courage. This man did not know when rescue might come, If ever. But he knew his enemy, and what awaited his wife at their hands. So he took her life and his childs and gave up his own in lonely, hopeless fight
 At home we have been hearing cross- fire of charges to determine the responsi- bility for our unpreparedness in the Phil ippines. AS these charges grow increas- ingly political let us not forget to examine them honestly and make sure that they are worthy both of the victims and the avengers.

Cape Cod was pretty well trimmed dur ing the recent September hurricane. Exposed as the Cape was and right In the line of approach, trees and building were moved down quite thoroughly. A re- modelling and reforeStation has been plannel which will give 1t new character, and by next summer 1t Is expected some of the work will have been completed. If Cape Cod is made presentable by next summer, this will mean fast work. Some of the Connecticut shore resorts still look beaten since the 1888 hurricane.

THE THREAT or CHAOS
.(New York Herald .TrlbuneJ

'NNwW xVFk kaWSehusVTADuneD, ,,,
 It would be wrong to term the pleas of 0oebbels and Hiinmler for guerrilla warfare within the Reich admissions of defeat. German lead- CTS have admitted the iFevitabil!ty of military defeat in many ways and on numerous occasions. But they have always insisted that they would make the Allied victory cost. ly one; that they would negate it by craft, or force, or whatever rec source was left to them. and they have dedicated the German people to mass suicide for this purpoae. But there is an urgency about the present party line from Berlin which seems to indicate that this self- immolation may Do expected of the people at almost any hour.
 No one can predict with any pre-. cision when the army still shielding the Reich will coliapse, or what measures of desperation the popula- ton may adopt when that event oc- CUTS, Hltlerism succeeded in mAk- ing all Germany one giant conSpir- acy, but the Nazis themselves came Into power on the plea Of bringing order into the state. The Germans prefer that chaos should go in uni. form, close ranked and singing in harmony. How they would fare in war of man against man, secret and ieaderless, with oil the symbols of order arrayed against them, Is another matter. The record of the German soldiers who fought until their position was hopeless and then surrendered philosophically enough suggests that the breaking of overt discipline might mean the end of mass resistance.
 But there can be no certainty about such an outcome. Masterless soldiers who have known no trade but war find new masters, as the Free Corps of Germany after the last war proved. There may well be enough of the Nasis or the reckless to keep the embers of war from 1tckering out. For that even- tuality the Allies must be prepared. in unity and determination,

AS A MATTER OF FACT

We are not SO far removed from the Victorian era, so-called This was brought home to the British and folks on this side of the water on reading of the death of Princess Beatrice, youngest and last sur viving daughter of Queen Victoria. She was one of nine children and was per- son of artistic talents. She was likewise a collector of autographs. To many her death will recall events of another day and era and though her generation and her mothers seem far-removed from the world of today she had been actively engaged in designing metal work. Her funeral will occasion the attendance Of four kings and four queens.
