Ft was in the hope Of making the party Q labor party that would ap. peal Co oil labor unions thorughout the State and through this influx release it from its communiBt grip that Hlilmail supported the leRt wing and had himself elected state chairman. Whether such strategy will work is questionable, Mixing with the Communists iB always costly, though Hlllman has handled them rather Bkillfully in the past. RE.EDUcATrNu SOME
 EDUCATORS
 pr. Dryon o. Hughes of the Uni. verBity of Michigan, research lti child development, is quoted aS Bay. ing that the disregard Of birth cofls trol propaganda in tho United States is investing the country with filorons while tho college graduates arc, failing to reproduce themselves,
 Then he remarks pieasantly:
 Since VIC cannot shoot our men. tai deficients, as has been done in Hitler Germany, the next best thing ig for the Government to coerce them, fl they insist on marrying, iFi. to submitting to sterilization pro. cedureg."
 We have been doing . good deal of talking of late about reseducat. ing the Nazi youth; perhaps we might do . little good, too, in diS- infecting the minds Of some educa- tors of Nazl pagan doctrines.

 He was ail old New Yorker and our best beloved. He was born and brought up in . New York that Is fading fast save for 0 few ancleni memories. It seemed 6 kindlIer and friendiier city.

 We sometimes wonder if the would have gotten those honorary college degrees If he had gone to college, Ho learned to think and speak clear. There are no better educators than the Christian Broth. CTS, and where are there better educational institutions than the Church Of St. James and Father Kean? That parish was Q little Ireland of 0od.fearing people. They prayed and worked apienty.

 At the end of World War I, there were equally strong Allied states rnents on punishment of German war criminals. However, the only men brought to trial ct Leipzig held relatively obscure positions in the kaiser's government. Only q half dozen were convicted and received short prison terms, and most of them escaped" jail shortly after they were impriS. 0ned,
 Among the bIgsBhot Germans named during the first war. but never tried and convicted, were Prince Ruprecht of Bavaria the Duke Of WuYttemberg, who ors dered inaSsacres of the French civilian population General voTl Kluck, who murdered hostages ct senlls and Aerschot General von BuloW, who set fire to vile lageS in the Ardennes, and Field Marshal Von Mackensen, who burned villages and ordered the execution of civilians.

Supply of Candy, Cigar. cites, Liquor Rather Linn.
 ited at Present

Candy-bars, cigarettes and liquor will remain scarce this winter 1t was generally agreed locally, this morn. Ing, by local retailers and whole. salers.
 Candy.bar producers recently were ordered to ear-mark 30 per- cent of all future production of the five-cent dellcacy for the armed services. The order affects all manufacturers whose production of candy-bars, rolls and packages Is in excess of 10000 boxes of twenty. four units per month. While mould- cd chocolates, the familiar allo chocolate bars are not affected, local retailNrs and wholesalers today told The Democrat that the latter are in short supply, as is.
 Although an increase of almost 10 per cent has been effected in the candy bar industry in the past year the demands have increased beyond this proportion to thus swallow the increase of production.
 Local cigarette dealers today stated that they have been fore- warned by wholesalers and distribu. tors of the impending scarcity to be expected throughout the winter They pointed out however, that the present shortage should not get worse with the possibility of its bee coming lighter.
 Reasons for the scarcity are based on the high requirements of the armed forces and to shortages of container and labor material. In addition the government hos pur- chased large quantities of tobacco for lend-lease purposes, 1t was said,
 Although liquor is fairly plentiful, at present local distributors today stated that they expected the eur- rent holiday" would not extend be. yond the years end, Hope was ex. pressed however that 1t likely would not be as acute as that previous,

Roosevelt has little sympathy for the Communists and "the Coms Si1uniBt issue" ig 0 spurious issue in the present serious business of choosing c national leader.

.Fords MAKING
Super Robots

Jet propulsion engines produced
by the Ford Motor Co. are being
used 10 drive American-made ro-
bot bombs in secret tests, COM
pany officials and the war depart
ment revealed today.
Ford engineers worked out pro-
duction details after TeconstTuc-
ting German robot engine parts
sent from England. The work was
done at the request Of the Air
Technical Service Command at
Wright Field. Dayton, the an
nouncement said.
II was stated that Ford had
become interested in robot bombs
as far back as 1918 when Gen.
Henry II. Arnold. then a captain
and now chief of the Army Air
Forces, Inspected a Ford-designed
and Ford-built robot bomb engine
in Dearborn.
World War I ended before the
robot could be tested.
The robot in which the Ford
made engine is being used con-
sists of a streamlined fuselage
with stubby wings over which is
mounted a tube containing an inn
pulsive jet engine.
The front Of the tube is equipped
with an ingenious gate" which
opens TO admit air for combustion
and closes with each explosion to
prevent loss Of power. In action,
the engine sounds like a giant out
board motor.
The fuselage contains a war
head, fuel. automatic control
equipment and two spherical COM
pressed air tanks for running con-
troll units. Overall the bomb
measures about II feet in span
and q feet in length.
