The police were immaculate dressers in those days, especially the handsome Major Bannon, the greatest mili- tary bearing member ever to have been identified with the depart ment. Cardinal Gibbons extended a special blessing to the Major and the officers under him on that memorable day.
 So you see, old Saint Patrick's Is historic, and while many of the old time Irishmen and their good families who fostered the eX- pense of the construction of this attractive Vermont stone and granite block structure, have gone their way, the parish lives on and enjoys the beauties of the interior, with its high ceilings and expensive altars, under the per- sonal direction and supervision of our good and beloved Reverend Eugene Cryne, a clergyman we first met during his younger days at the old Immaculate Concep' tion, a man we all admire and think so much about, for the good he has been to the Catholic people of Waterbury.
 We bow in humiliation to Saint Patrick's Roman Catholic Church for the good we feel we have re- ceived, even if we were present at a service only once in our Hfe- time.

Hartford, Conn, March 22-(UP) Republican town caucuses were hled last night to elect delegates to the April 13-14 state convention, and for the most part they were routine affairs.
 Virtually all of the delegates will go to the convention uninstruct- ed, although at Old Lyme 1t was voted to instruct the delegates from that town to advocate Gov. Ray mond E. Baldwin for President.
 At Stonington, some of the cau- GUS members suggested support for Thomas E. Dewey, but no action was taken.

Tells NEED FOR AGENCIES
TO FIGHT JOB BIAS IN
POSTWAR WORLD

NEW YORK, Dec. % (ANP)-
The need for strong federal, state
and municipal programs to combat
employment discrimination in the
postwar period was stressed by Ed
ward Lawson, New York regional
director of the FEPC in two ad-
dresses delivered here.
Speaking at the fourth anniver-
sary meeting of the board of direc-
tors of the Harlem Recreation COM
mittee, Mr.. Lawson pointed out that
under present circumstances FEPC
will end just at the time when mil
lions of Negro members of the
armed forces and workers in war
plants will be attempting to return
to their peace-time jobs.
eff at that time industry is al
lowed to go back to its old policy of
'discrimination-as-usual,' he said,
'the result may be disastrous"
Mr.. Lawson cited the proposed
New York State FEPC bill as an
important stop in the fight against
postwar employment discrimina-
ton. He said that similar bills are
being formulated in many other
states, including Massachusetts,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Illinois;
but pointed out that many state
legislatures could not be expected
even to consider such bills. The
need for a strong federal anti
discrimination program will be
greater than ever when the war
war ends" he said, eff we are to
avoid a repetition of the severe econ
omic disturbances and bloody race
conflict which marked the post
war year of 1919"
Addressing the leaders confer
ence on American citizenship of the
American Committee for the Protec-
ton of the Foreign Borne Mr.. Law
son warned that aliens, recently
naturalized citizens, and orientals
probably would find themselves the
victims of employment discrimin-
alton in the postwar period unless

groups in the fight to secure gov
ernment guarantees Of fair-play in
hiring.
"Job bias against foreign-born
persons and orientals is a long
standing practice in American in
dustry," he said, zone which reached
its height in the early days of the
defense effort when persons were
refused employment simply be-
cause they had a foreign-sounding
name.
To-day such practices have been
virtually eliminated in war work
through application of executive
order 9346, which forbids discrim-
ination because of national origin
or alienage. They are certain to
crop up again, however, in the re-
conversion and postwar periods,
perhaps in more serious form than
ever before"
Mr.. Lawson suggested that the
millions of foreign-born Americans
join with Negro, Jewish, Mexican,
and other minority groups in work
ing for government guarantees of
non-discriminatorY employment af-
ter V-day.
