Hold your breath, now, while we move
up three centuries and bit in a swift
transition. The livery stable and the
horse are out and the automobile and
the tractor were here a moment ago,
but have moved out pretty much to take
over a job OF rolling out the Japs and
the Nazis. Take comfort--theyll be
back in year or SO, and the railroads,
the buses and the street cars will be
muttering low growls about business
falling off," It's so-one mans meat
is another's poison and its an i'll wind
that won't hit somebody's windshield.
At the moment the country has joined
the infantry and we march, we march,
we march. Perhaps it is good for US,
for everybody but the farmer and the
mail carrier was getting bit soft on
the leg muscles, without any exercise
other than stepping on the gas or on
the brakes.

WOMEN VOTERS
 MEET TUESDAY
Dr. Fred COuey Guest Speaker at Holiday Inn,
 Hartford

The Connecticut League of Wo- men Voters will hold a State Coun- cil meeting in Hartford on Tues day, December 5th. at Holiday Inn, Ann Street YWCA. The titles of the morning and afternoon sessions are Yours Is The Power-to Plan; Yours Is the Power-to Act".
 The morning session, from 10:30 to 100 o'clock, will be open to League members and will be of par ticular value to board members. Dr. Fred Couey, Associate Professor of Education and Director of Curri- culum of the University of Connec- ticut. will discuss the organization and work of boards.
 The afternoon session, from 200 to 400 o'clock, is open to the pub- lie and will be devoted entirely to foreign policy. Mrs. Rachel Con- rad Mason, Congressional Secretary of the National League of Women Voters, will talk about the Dunbar ton Oaks proposals. This will be followed by discussion of how the individual citizen can be effective in helping achieve full United States participation in the United Nations Organization.
 Because of the great interest h. ing evidenced in the Dumbarton- Oaks proposals a large audience is anticipated at the afternoon ses- sion Of the Connecticut Leagues Council Meeting to hear Mrs. Na- son discuss it.
 Mrs. Mason has had an impress sive background to equip her for her position as Congressional Sec retary of the National League of Women Voters. She was formerly Head Employee Counselor, Bureau of Yards and Docks of the Navy Department, where she was largely responsible for the preparation of an Employe Handbook widely used throughout Government agencies. Prior to that she was 8 training specialist in the Department of Agriculture. Mrs. Mason has taught History and English at the Morre- town Friends School in New Jersey and at the Chaffee School in Wind sor, Connecticut. She was Dean of Women at Hillyer Junior College in Hartford. AS a Research Fellow for the National Committee on the Cause and Cure of Wa4 she trav- elled widely in Europe, working on special study of the Polish Corri- dor. Her report was published ln French by the Carnegie Foundation for International Peace, and pre- saged realistically pre-war adjust mentS in that area. Mrs. Mason took her B. A. at Wellesley College, her M. A. at the University of Pennsylvania, and has done grad uate work in Political Science at Yale University.

SLUM EXPANSION
 SERIOUS PROBLEM
Spread of City Blight Also Results in Loss of PrOp=
 erty Values

Should municipalities be given greater power to plan and initiate redevelopment schemes? Is this the best way to combat urban decay which some peSsimists predict may lead to the decentralization of large cities?
 These questions are posed in dis GUS sion of proposed urban rede- development legislation in California in the current issue of Tomorrow's Town, publication of the National Committee on Housing, of which Mrs. Samuel I. Rosenman is chair man.
 Pointing out that the spread of city blight has meant expanding slums, huge loss of property values and decreased revenue for municipal treasuries, the publication notes that the phenomenon constitutes one of the nations most serious economic problems. Also, most of the suggested remedieS-including low cost public housing-have been criti- cized as not sufficiently broad in scope to effect cure. Many of those who hold this view have called for the municipalities themselves to assume leadership and see to 1t that redevelopment is carried out in ac- cordance with master plans which would insure effective restoration of the blighted districts to economic and social usefulness.
 This, according to Tomorrow's Town, is the professed goal of the proposed California legislation as outlined in the leading article by L. Deming Tilton, Director of Plan- ning of the City and County of San Francisco. The purpose Of the bill now being mapped is to provide California municipalities with legal power to initiate revdevelopmefit action and carry 1t as far as neces- sity requires and available funds permit. Chief features of the plan would be: CD retention by the city of the right to condemn and assem- ble sites: (O the leasing or selling of the land, with owners being given opportunity to make contracts for re development: (sl no profit controls but enforcement Of standards dcem~ cd necaaanFy to protect the public lntefasl: ftl fedepelopmenl nsenf'z1 under control oi the governing breF

''Stet" Gives Up Gum-chewing And Career In Industry To Head State Department

with sU. s. Steel-have the wrong picture. He has stopped chewing gum-in public, at any rate-and his other known vices are nil.
 He is no longer of U. s. Steel, though he could probably have his old $1O0, 900 job back if he wanted it. He has reportedly sold all his stock in the corporation and he ceased being a dollar-a-year man when he took the SIG, ,0O0-a-year gov ernment salary as Lend-Lease Ad- ministrator. He has some income, but he lives largely on his govern ment pay. He has big farm in Virginia, which he seldom has time to visit. Tn Washington, he lives in an apartment at the Shoreham Hotel.
 WINS CONGRESS
 He has made good with Congress. He "sold" Congress on lend-lease renewal and increased appropria- tions. Perhaps he will not com mand the Congressional respect accorded to Cordell Hull, but he goes out of his way to please. He learned how to handle people in- clined to be a bit antagonistic while presiding over the stormy meetings of U. s. Steel stockhold- CTS and his technique in trying to keep everybody happy is much the same in Washington. He will go along with Congress and he will try to have Congress go along with him.
 His instincts are all to the good, his friends say there isn't 8 mean streak in him. On the contrary, he has always had the urge to do something for others. He had it as a YMCA leader running a student employment agency at the Univer- sity of Virginia, as a General Mo- tors vice-president negotiating a group insurance policy for the cor porations' employees, and as U. s. Steel's chairman of the finance committee negotiating its first maj or contract with the CIO.
 StettiniuS wants desperately to make good. He works at it awful ly hard, trying to remember every body's name, checking on every bit of publicity that concerns anything with which he is connected. His energy and vigor are rlnbounded. As a young man with all these assets, he has the world before him. If he can make good at just one thing-putting over Cordell Hull's peace plan for a United Nations security organization-he might even have a political future before him in 1948.

 Washington, Nov. 9O-Appoint- of 44-year-old Edward Reilly Stet- tinius, Jr.. as Secretary of State to succeed Cordell Hull comes at a time when "Stet's" education in the department has just about been completed. Old-timers who have served as his advisers and coaches in departmental affairs say that he has learned rapidly and well.
 Breaking in on the diplomatic game at the top isn't as easy as it sounds, for the old rule is that you have to think four times before you even turn around-first on whether you want to, second son what the effect will be on American politics, third on what the effect will be on foreign governments, fourth on whether it will set a precedent.
 In the IA months that Stettinius has been Under-secretary of State he, of course, has been not merely student. He has contributed mo- tably to the Departments activities with three major accomplishments to his credit:
 1. A complete reorganization of the administrative set-up of the State Department, announced last January, four months after he Suc- ceeded Sumner Welles.
 2. A successfully concluded series of conferences with Great Britain's Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden in London last spring.
 3. Conclusion of the Dumbarton Oaks four-power conferences on planning for postwar security. over which he presided as head Of the U. s. delegation.
 FACES MAJOR TEST
 Major policy decisions he has not yet had to make, so the measure of his ability as a Secretary of State has yet to be determined. But one thing is clear. He has indicated his belief that the Department of State should rightly occupy a place of first importance as government agency, adequately staffed with men comptent to do it's job. The era of Department of State kicked around, passed off ard economized on like an uawanted stepchild, seems definitely at an end if Stet- tinius has his way.
 People who disapprove of the Stettinius appointment present a variety of arguments, none too sound: He is too handsome, too much the fair-haired boy, too friendly, too much of a backslap-

There are hotels at many ATC bases, apparently all named De Gink," and the network of airways hos spread so far that the DeGink chain of hotels bids fair to rival the Statler hotels, despite their plaster board and veneer construc- tion.
 Best explanation of the name came from sergeant hotel clerk.
 Back in the days when there weren't any hotels the passengers would stand around and get in the way. Put de gink' over there, some one would say. Now they are DeGink hotels"
 Crews Stop Over
 Excellent accommodations are like wise available for transient officers and enlisted men, including the crews that fly the planes on stage by stage. The crews rest while the planes speed on.
 In the enlisted mems quarters here Sgt. Elmer Schaefer, "A, (201S Grant Blvd.) Syracuse, N. Y., en- gineer on a C-54 transport crew, stopped a moment while packing his gear to tell visiting newspaper mer. he found everything com fortable and to his liking. He has made IA or IS Atlantic crossings Strange as it may seem, many old- time fliers can't remember exactly how many times they have crossed Schaefer has been in the Air Corps three years. He's seen his four month-old son, Jerry, only once, though thanks to his job he gets back to the States far more ire quently than most soldiers who have gone overseas.

 MT. Hilton states his belief that such a program would bring larger share of postwar building into the cities, permitting them to grow in wardly, with new spirit and energy. Others who take part in the discus sion present somewhat different points of view. These range from belief that the California proposals do not go far enough to solve the various problems that would be en- countered, to a fear that they would seriously hamper private enterprise. which one participant believes must be chiefly depended upon for the task.
 Besides MT. Triton, the contribu- tors to the symposium include La- dislas Segoe, of Cincinnati, plan ming consultant; Seward H. Mott, Director, Urban Land Institute, Washington, D. O., and David B. Simpson, President, the Portland (OreO Chamber of Commerce.

 All such charges are based pretty much on the malicious gossip of people who would like to see Ed Stettinius fail. The chances that he will are extremely remote. He has been in and around Wash ington for over 10 years and in that time his Washington education and experience have been varied. Peo- pie who remember him in 1883 as a gum-chewing kid around MIRA headquarters-an enlightened New Deal industrialist serving as liai- son man with big business and in- terested primarily in getting his job
