ON BEING DEMOCRATIC

What does it take to be a citizen of a democracy? Kurt Lewin writing in the Public Opinion Quarterly of the Princeton School of Public Affairs, gives an answer in discussing the difficulties in the way or establishing democracy in Germany. Now at the Uni versity of Iowa, pr. Levin was a pre-Hitler Pro- lessor of Psychology at the University of Berlin, and so knows his Germans.
 At the heart of the problem, he says, is the tra- dtonal relation of leader and follower. The Ger mans because they confuse loyalty with obedience, have never learned to criticize their bosses. They conduct that combine to make people democratic. These details are, in his words The ability to recognize differences of opinion without considering the other person criminal readiness to accept criticism in matter -of-fact way; and the offering of criticism with sensitvity for the other persons feelings"
 Dr. Levin seems to imply that we Americans as citizens of a successful democracy, live up to his specifications We thank him for the compliment. There are moments it is true when we feel that our political adversaries should be, not beheaded, at least impeached. There times when we may be downright ungrateful for their criticism. and times when a chance to wound an opposition leaders feel ngs in his tenderest spot too good to be missed Occasionally around election time, the calm sweet, reasonable American air is somewhat thick with flying mud and vegetables But after all mud washes off, and turrips are seldom fatal
 Between elections we dine with the other fellow and play bridge with him We listen politely to his opinions, if only to strengthen our own We try to

Airport Site Chosen
 Says Mayor Mnagan
Discussions Held on Financing PrOjectSevetal Plans
 Outlined to Serve City's Needs, Btt Interests

A municipal airport for Water bury which would serve the city's requirements first is the ambition of local authorities it was disclosed at e statewide meeting last night at the Country Club of Waterbury and sponsored by the Connecticut Chapter of the National Aeronauti- cal Association.
 Charles I.s stanton, deputy ad- Ininistrator of the Civil Aeronau- tical Administration, principal speaker at last nights gathering outlined a picture of the overall postwar aviation scene along in- ternational and national lines.
 Mayor John s. Monagan in ad- dressing the group told of various potential procedures for financing and maintaining local airport, one of which was the leasing of the site to an oil company in return for a share of profits.
 Stating that four or five possible sites have been surveyed in this area for municipal airport the Mayor declared that these surveys have almost narrowed down to a choice of one particular location. He cited the vast, progressive aspects of aviation for Waterbury relative to the latter'S industrial and civic welfare.
 Other financing means expressed by the Mayor included the issuance of bonds by means of such collater- al as the $400,O00 now contained in the postwar projects fund and the combining of funds of various muni- cipalities within this area all of whom would benefit by such an air port.
 Members of the state GAIA asso- citation were present from all over the state last night together with other interested members. It was obvious, by means of the enthusiasm and interest shown last night that the state has become aviation con- SciouS.
 Members of the city plan com- mission and others present last night expressed gratification with the interest shown.
 Representatives of oil concerns included William Wesson, Water bury of the Texaco Company and William Washburne of New York representing the Gulf oil Company.

 The conference got underway at Q q. m. with Major William Finder. area representative of the New Ha- ven district of the ATSC, urging the hundreds of local industrialists present ito permit nothing to in sterfere with your production"
 Major Finder in his address de- sciared:
 'aThe New Haven area has recog- lnized that the manufacturers and the industrial workers of Connecti- ,crt have assumed full responsibility sfor the enormous volume of produc- s.tion which the Army Air Forces has entrusted to them. The splendid srecord which has been established sby Connecticut industries has been sstne result of cooperation, determ- nination and that most important seleInen the know how. In many instances, most unreasonable de- smands have been placed upon the manufactures of Connecticut, but 1t has appeared that the more diff .ficult the task, the more desirable it became to accomplish it. That is just the way people of Connecti- cut have reacted in accomplishing such an enormous share in the pro- duction of war materials. It could well be. said that your slogan has been, We will deliver a proper amount of the proper quality at the proper time. We are proud to say that the cooperation you have extended to Us of the New Haven area has. been of such high order that it has at times astonished those in places of higher authority. We take the occasion of this meet ing to again tank you for the job which you have so far so splendidly done.
 To-day more than ever production is paramount. Nothing can be per- mitted to interfere with production. The factories of Connecticut are producing parts for every bomber and ever fighter plane used by the Army and by the Navy. Using as an example, the B-29, that super fortress which is now carrying the war home to Tokyo, 1t can be said that over one hundred (100) plants in this area are contributing parts and equipment for each of these giant planes"
 The conference was recessed at iioua today for a luncheon at The . Elt0n and was resumed at 1:S0 p. m.

OLD BUILDING
 TO BE RAZED
Board Acts on RecOm- mendatiOn of Inspector
 of Buildings Hartley

A building It 391 East Main street owned by the Home Owners Loan Corporation has been authorized for demolition by the board of health meeting last night.
 The board received notice from Building Inspector John T. Hartley suggesting the demolition proceed ings. MT. Hartley had stated that the plumbing and electrical fixtures were beyond repair, the corner posts had routed and the whole house was sagging.
 As reported here earlier the health department has $1,O00 included in its 1945 budget for demolishing of buildings. It has beer reported here previously that two other buildings, one on upper North Main and one on River street are marked for de- molition.
 A state law empowers the health board to demoniSh any building con Sidered unfit for occupancy.
 The board authorized Dr. E. J. Godfrey, the health officer, to take such steps as are necessary, in con- junction with the corporation coun- sel, to have the building torn down.
