The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1944-04-28

Democrats point to this as
sure sign that FDR can beat all
corners if he runs for a fourth
term. They further point to
the fact that Maryland, sitting
astride the Mason-Dixon Line,
has never gone wrong in any
Presidential election.
Republicans scratch their heads
and are wondering.
Anyway, here is what hap
pened. Tydings, up for re-elec-
ton this year, was considered a
sure-shot winner in the Democra-
tic primaries, when suddenly he
got worried, and invaded a poll
teal meeting of his opponent, Will
lis Jones. There, for two hours,
Tydings harangued the crowd,
answering Jones charges against
him, one of which was that Tyd-
ings had consistently opposed the
President.
In reply, Tydings made the
amazing statement that the
President calls me daily" He
also waved before the audience
a letter from the President
thanking him for putting
through the resolution cOntinu-
ing the present form of the
Philippine Commonwealth when
President QuezOn was supposed
to step down last November.
Triumphantly, Tydings pointed
to the Presidents sign-Off line
which read: with kindest. re-
CARDS."
TydingS further stated: "The
President calls me often. / 60
down to the White House to see
him. We talk like two human
beings. He's interested in keep
ing this country in good shape,
and SO am i. He's trusted me
with the most delicate things,
called me daily from the White
House. So don't get up, Willis,
and give the people that pa
lOney."
Naturally, most Maryland vot-
ers, remembering the bitter purge
campaign of 1888 when FDR in
vaded Maryland to try to defeat
Tdyings. take this with tongue
in-cheek. Tydings' votes against
practically all Roosevelt legisla-
ton, Including many of his war
policies before Pearl Harbor, are
a matter of record.
But what interests the politicos
Is not Tydings' record, with which
everyone Is familiar, but the fact
that he felt it necessary to go
to such extreme dengths to deny
his record and to profess his close

Debonair "Chip" Robert, for

the other day, and bumped into

Selected Poem
HOW MANY NEW YOUNG ANGELS

minnie Hte Moody in The New York Times
How many new young angels there must be
In heaven tonight and every night of war;
fitting their crowns trifle rakiShly
Wondering a little what their wings are for.
How they must laugh at such eccentric gear,
Bantering always, swapping now and then
The unprofane, quick words that hide tear
Too soon these lads have had to die like men
But they are dead, and strangely here below
Spring will give way to summer, summer wane
And autumn creep beneath winters snow
This year and next, and peace will come again
Lovely as life, young life-make no mistake
I think 1t will be then our hearts shall break

His way to help people to whom no
one else paid the least attention
and who, apparently, could not help
themselves.
A great deal Of cold-heartedness
is frequently associated with the
statement that God helps those who
help themselves. Such a conviction
feeds our egotism and makes US
feel that we, with our energy and
ability, are superior to the people
