2 Saw
Way to

Two police prisoners in

whom was charged with muir
der, staged a daring escape
from the third floor prisoners
ward early today. saving
through a barred window
and then climbing down bed
sheets and bedspreads in their
pajamas to the street.
The men who escaped are Jack

May church murder in Inkster
Of Hunter Spruggs. 40, of Inkster
and Robert Garlough, q, OF 62S
Brainard. who was charged with
larceny from a dwelling.
VANISH IN 10 MINUTES
According to police. the escape
must have been accomplished be-
tween 4 a. m. and 4:10 a. m. as a
check of the ward was made at
4 and the men were not missed.
Ten minutes later they had
vanished.
Police said that the pair first
managed 10 break two padlocks
on the screening over the bars
and then. using a file which had
apparently been Struggled to
them, sawed through the middle
bar in the window.
The officers believed that, after
the men lowered themselves TO
the sidewalk. they were whisked
away in a car driven by a con-
federate.
COIL OF ROPE FOUND

Archie Taylor. charged with muir

They speak From Experienee

An editorial in Food Marketing, publi- cation of the First National Stores of Boston, says; Our traditions and the best in our industrial and commercial history point to the acceptance of competition as the SureSt way to stimulate improve mentS and to build material progress. No one knows about competition, really, ex- cept those who have competed or are will ing to compete. That is why the guid- ance, in industrial and commercial af- fairs, of men who have had no experi- ence, is dangerous And that is at the root of complaints which are widespread in the country right now against theor- iStS'. The best kind of coach is man who has played the game and has taken, from the hurly-burly of doing it, the wherewithal to impart to others"
 Those in the chain store industry know what they are talking about when they speak of competition, Retailing has always been highly competitive busi- ness, Contrary to. the belief of many, It became even more competitive with the advent of the chains. Independent re- tailers promptly adopted the new ideas of the chains and added some improvements of their own. The result has been a See- saw competitive game that has brought revolutionary changes in merchandising. These changes have been beneficial to consumers Any modern pre-Pearl liar hor store with its gleaming interior and scientific exhibition of abundance, makes the average retail establishment of few decades ago look shoddy by comparison, The progress in retail distribution is shining illustration of what competition means to industry and to the consumer It is but logical that retail distributors should plead for return to free compe- titive markets after the war. They speak from experience,

A Stitch In Time

Today there are some 5000 airports in our country, and the Civil AeronauticS Administration is recommending an addi- tional 5000, with major improvements for 1,600 existing fields, These figures emphasize the general scope of the great aviation development being witnessed 1n the United States,
 In preliminary steps toward coordinat- ed postwar airport development, forty eight national organizations recently met as the Joint Airport Users Confer ence," Speaking before the conference, Harry MeiXell, of the Air Transport Asso- citation of America, outlining the basic problems to be faced, said; Full realiza- ton and understanding of the respective roles which the Federal government, those of the states and those of the politi- cal subdivisions of the state can and must play in the establishment and pro- gressive expansion of national system of public airportS, are essential. In order words, it is of the utmost importance that the specific powers of these three levels of government, with respect to the location, establishment, maintenance, operation and financing of public air ports be clearly enumerated and deflneo' Above all, however, legislative bodies in distributing such authorities and duties, must think and act in an unSelfish and stateSmanlike manner, contemplating the greatest good for the greatest number of our communities and our citizens. Con- Sideration of States Rights and 'Munici- pal Home Rule on the one hand, must be made to balance with the National Se- curity and Welfare on the other in all Federal and state laws and municipal ordinances dealing with public airports' !"
 Confused legislative actions relating to airport development and control would slow the growth of American aviation It would also cost lives in unnecessary ar craft accidents. Representatives of the civil aviation industry are working to avoid these twin calamitieS

Let's Ring for the Mailman

The local postman, courier of glad and sad news from and about Waterbury men in the service, is closer to the lives of our general citizenry today, than most of us. The postmanS ring is one of the most eagerly awaited events of the day in many local homes And ring he does, rain or sshine, sleet or snow. Even when that long, soverdue letter from India, the Pacific area, France or elsewhere still doesn't arrive he is there to dispense little personal cheer an optimism.
 Therefore, we now can return little of .our gratefulneSs by humping for passage sof legislation pending in Congress and .advocating pay increases for postal :employes. It is 19 years since a pay in- .creose has been given to these men despite sthe wartime increase in the cost of living, sestimated at from 25 to 43 percent. !: Local carriers, clerks and supervisors .have banded together to urge support of stheir request. Certainly it is not a sgreedy request and should receive the support of the public and prompt action sby the House and Senate.
 z Here's hoping that future mails carry sthe good news to them, "In care Of Post sUnaSter".
