supported the President. By his vote as a member of the Committee on Forign Affairs he broke a tie in favor of repeating the arms embar- go law in 1889.
 The county will probably best re- member Senator Van NuyS or his outstanding service on the Judiciary Committee of which he was, at the time of his death, chairman. In op- posing the Court packing legislation requested by President Roosevelt in 1887, Senator Van Nuys was among the majority of the Judiciary Con- mittee that recommended its rejec- tion. He signed the report declaring 1t to be a measure which should be so emphatically rejected that its parallel will never again be present ed to the free representatives of the free people of America" At another point the bill was condemned as violating "every sacred tradition of American democracy"
 Senator Van NuyS did not fear creating enemies within his own party. To be reelected in 1888 he had to battle the Democratic organiza- tion in Indiana that was bent on "purging" him for his fearlessness in the Court fight. Disagreement with him over his position on many domesetic issues is possible, but in his high regard for and apprecia- tion of the fundamental principles 0f thA American COpSfjt1Iti0y, he mo c sound. Because there are too few like him in Washington, his loss is all the more regrettable.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-02-01
Salary Equalization

Some formative program must be Sug gested soon by city authorities relative to salary equalization for women teachers. The fact that women teachers are get ting less salary than men teachers while performing comparable duties has been termed an injustice" by city au- thorities but to date nothing positive has been done to abolish this injustice. It seems to us that there cannot exist any such thing as an expressed awarenesS of an injustice within a materialiStic issue when it is not followed by action which admits of the possibility of solution.
 It seems to us that the women teachers have been most fair in their demands for review of the merits of their case. They have openly stated that if no means of granting equalization can be forthcoming curing the 1914 budget year because of Charter restrictions then they are willing to accept their present status. However, they are asking that a formative program for possible future adjustment be formu- lated now subject only to the resulting vagaries of some future emergency that might possibly affect the entire financial structure of the city. They are objecting to the vague promises of postwar media tlOI1 dIlu lley dIG JlESIIlSu III SO ICdoOlllIlS.
 The citys tax rate would not be mater tally affected by the additional expendi- ture of 25 or 30 thousand more a year iri the city's budget as would be required to make the adjustment. That is a math- ematical truth. And it is unfair to com pare what is being paid to teachers in other cities with teachers here on the basis of the respective populations. Whereas, it is practical fact that the city with the large population benefits from this greater source of revenue, it is not a fact that if such a city spends less on any one department than does a lesser populated city on a comparable depart ment that the larger city is the more eco- nomical one. It is unfair to raise this population issue without first making accurate comparisons as to benefits be- ing received by the respective communl- ties from their respective departments. Waterbury may pay more to it's teachers than does Bridgeport or New Haven - but are Bridgeport's and New Haven's teaching systems on a standard with Waterbury's?
 This equalization issue is matter for all Waterbury taxpayers and parents. It is a question of municipal expenditures and question of the morale of employees who are the tutors, enthusiastically and morally, of our city's teen age children. It is everyones problem Certainly if an injustice exists in the education depart ment, as has been admitted by responsi- ble authorities, some equitable adjust ment should be attempted if only for the reason of the direct bearing this depart ment has on the homes in Waterbury.
 Let fair and positive program for mediation be outlined now by responsible authorities, one that will begin immedi- ately by the gathering of facts from all Sides-then work from there!

vention plans to ODT, and many of them don't Those who do are showing an in- creasing tendency this year to answer ODTS advice and objections with the solemn assurance that the war just won't get won unless they assemble to make plans and hash over grievances.
 So once again, ODT must tell the con- ventioneers that trains and hotels are crowded, that conventions may seriously inconvenience travellers on vitally import ant business, that they crowd restaurants, over-tax laundry capacities, and gener- ally use up disproportionate amount of scarce food and drink and service. All of which conventloneers know already. Peacetime conventions are interesting and frolicsome. But for now, why not let the executives make their speeches in trade magazines, and do their planning and their damning of bureaucracy by wire or mail. The march into Berlin won't be delayed a single day if the Petunia FancierS of America put off meet ing till after the war.

Reconversion Boss

It seems now that WIPE Chairman Donald M. Nelson is going to be the man to boss our industrial reconversion job. This general assumption is based on var ious statements and decisions affecting reconversion which Mr. Nelson has recently made in the course of his pres ent job.
 MT. Nelson undoubtedly is good man for the job But it seems that it might lend more aid and comfort to a per turbed public if he, or whoever gets the position, were to receive a definite ap- pointment from the President, complete with a clear definition of powers and duties.
 The problem of reconversion is second only to the winning of the war; and its answer is of vital concern to everyone. Various groups, in and out of govern ment, are shaping up plans to find this answer. Other groups are concerned with the problem of relocating many war workers and finding jobs for returning service men. Neither group can go much farther until a chief is appointed with the wisdom and authority to coordinate their efforts and start the wheels turning.

A BLUNT REFUSAL (New York Sun)

! The State Department refusal to recognize as a government the clique which has seized power in Bolivia means more than meets the eye. Although its announcement does not mention Argentina, it will certainly be studied as thorouhgly in that country as in Bolivia. It charges in effect that one of several subversive groups hostile to the Allied cause engineered the coup d'etat at La Paz; that this was but one act of a general sub versive movement; that back of it were influences operating outside the hemisphere" which is to say of course, Axis influences. In other words the announcement indicates that the other American republics are at last calling for showdown on Axis influence in Argentina and Bolivia.
 The effect of this firm announce ment was not long in making itself felt. Foreign Secretary Eden lost no time in promising concurrent action by Great Britain. From Bue- nos Aires come reports that the Argentine government may be con- templating action that will soon end the uneasiness of Argentina S rlations with the other American republics. Meanwhile the regime nom in control at La PaZ has found it easier to set up a revolu- tionary junta than to win respect 1 for 1t.

In Convention Assembled

War or no war, 1914 looks like busy sSar for MT. Addison Sims of Seattle, that fabulous symbol of the gregarious Ameri- can businessman. For it seems that many business organizations, after two years of noble sacrifice, are reverting to "con- ventionS as usual'' attitude. The urge to congregate and discuss, to eat, drink and sing Sweet Adeline," has again become so strong that the Office of Defense Transportation is about to launch another campaign against wartime conventions. But it's efforts will be limited largely to exhortation and advice. The first article of the Bill of Rights guarantees the right of "the people peaceably to assemble" And neither the ODT nor any other agency can abridge that constitutional freedom. About all ODT can do is to ask an organization to determine honestly if it's convention is really necessary, and then to proceed accordingly. This ap- proach worked well last year. Only about half the usual number of prewar conven- tionS was held. There were considerably fewer delegates. And to some of these delegates the war presented golden op- portunitv that they had been seeking for vearS-a legitimate excuse for leaving their wives at home.
 All this helped to ease the burden on transportation and services But some associations that gave up thelr annual pUw-wow looked around and saw that other groups had met as usual, and for what might be construed as non-essential reasons. So this year more conventions are being planned. It is not obligatory upon any organization to confide It's con

FDR Got the Picture

President Roosevelt couldn't get to the recent Churchill-deGaulle conference at Marrakech, Morocco, but at least he has an idea what the conference site looks like, and the assurance that it's favorite spot of at least one of the conferees.
 At CaSablanca Mr. Churchill gave the President picture of the ancient walled town which he had painted in 1929. The President included it in the collection of Rooseveltiana which, with a library to house it he has presented to the public. Drop up to Hyde Park after the war and have look. It's very nice painting.

BASEBALL IN 1914
(Boston Post)

Will the major leagues be able to go through with 8 regular base ball schedule this year? The open- ing of the season is not yet close enough for the fans to do much de- batting over that question, but it's apparent that most of the owners, managers and players are giving 1t plenty of thought. Indeed, the pres ident of the St. Louis Cardinals doubts that he will have enough players left to field a team after those on his squad available for the draft are called. Many others must be thinking the same thing although they're not saying SO pub licly. Iris Speaker, the old Red SoS star, is convinced there will be nc major league baseball this year. The issue will have to be settled before many more weeks have passed.

AS A MATTER OF FACT

When you consider books in the aggre- gate you are apt to associate books with the firm of Brentano's, or Brentano's with books. Arthur Brentano, president of the largest bookselling business in the world passed away few days ago. He was eighty-five years old. The firm he was head of grew from small news stand operated by his uncle, August Brentano to the present chain of retail stores. Arthur Brentano when youth met Thackeray and Dickens. In 1873 his associations with the Brentano'S of that day was as newsboy. He had his regu- lar customers and learned how to sell books by first learning how to sell news papers.
