Down beneath that smoky haze

~ISwo men sat In a narrow office, ex-
aiming with absorbed attention a

"A Good Citizen"

The retirement of Michael F. Slavin
deputy registrar of voters is the climax
of 38 years of meritorious service with
the City of Waterbury. During these
years he has proven that his has been
the ambition to give faithful and honest
endeavor to his community. The city
owes much to man of his caliber by
virtue of the conscientious, faithful and
constructive administration of his duties
over such lengthy period
Civic government is perpetuated with
each administration by the prerogative
of the citizens vote. It is because of this
that the duties of a deputy registrar of
voters, especially as performed by Mich
ael Slavin, are of vast Importance to the
welfare of Waterbury and it's peoples.
During his tenure he guided and super
vised intelligently, and was always
vigilant of the interests of the commun-
ity - the technical functions of the vote
and the elections
He has always been identified as man
who has been and is part and parcel of
that phase of politics that has Signified
American democracy and its strength as
tried and found true system OF govern
ment by the people. He has been, at all
times, the faithful party man who has
defended it's fundamental integrity
against odds. The party and each Dem
ocratic administration that has existed
because of the party owes much to him.
We understand that it is illness that
has prompted the retirement of Mike.
We, and hundreds who know him and
respect him express the sincere wish that
his recovery will be certain, that he may
once again participate in the affairs of
this community as one whose advice and
sage wealth of experience we may feel
free to rely upon for many years, He
may take rightful pride in the knowledge
that he is thought of at all times in this
city as truly "a good citizen.

Let's Get Organized

On the east coast the Navy suddenly
ordered some 5000 Brewster Aeronautical
Corp. workers to lay off because there
wos no work for them. On the west
coast, at the same time, the Navy needed
5000 workers to help finish big naval
construction job. 1t only could find &c.,
in spite of offers of free transportation
and temporary housing and the help Of
the A. F. of L. in nationwide recruit
ing campaign.
Even though we don't pick up workers
and transport them where they're needed
in this country, the incident hints at
bad planning. There is no record that
possibly willing and qualified workers
among the Brewster jobless even knew
of this other Navy work.
Here is a discouraging sample of what
may happen often as the war draws
nearer its acknowledgement at one
end of the country and unfinished work
at the other-unless the left hands start
letting the right hands know what's go
ing on, in the Navy and elsewhere.

Unfinished Business

The Senate Judiciary Committee has
shown courage and wisdom in approving
the resolution for an Army-Navy investi-
cation of the Pearl Harbor disaster. The
action was taken after the court-martial
of Rear-Adml. Husband E. Kimmel and
Ma. Gen. Walter C. Short, who were
in command at Pearl Harbor, had been
delayed two and half years for "Secur-
ity" reasons. Apparently Discrimination
to go against high military wishes had
kept Congress from being insistent about
the matter. But Admiral Kimmel'S re-
newal of his plea for a speedy trial, con-
tanned in letter to Sen. Homer Fergu-
son, finally brought the matter to head.
"The report of the Roberts commits
sion," the Kimmel message stated, Ibid
not tell the whole story of Pearl Har-
bor." That feeling has been present for
a long time, not only in informed cir
cles but among idle spectators and those
who seem eager to use the official silence
for political purposes.
There is no proof, OF course, that Pearl

Fourteenth Amendment Day

Today, June 9th, commentaries the
adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment,
which granted equal protection under the
law to all persons born or naturaliZed in
the United States. It's primary purpose
was to guarantee the Negroes the rights
of citizenship.
Today we are engaged in worldwide
conflict to sustain the liberties similar to
those so cherished by the establishment
of this amendment. Today the wisdom,
christianity and sound sense of this
amendment and others are etched in
relief by the bitter sacrifices being made
on the fields of battle. The establishment
Of this amendment was gained at fright
full cost of bloodshed between fellow coun-
trymen and since its inception it has
been among the foremost of those sound
ideals and principles which have been
maintained by bloodshed and sacrifice.
It is a law that guarantees. 1t is not
circumlocutiouS or redundant, nor with
out teeth. 1t says specifically that mo
State shall make or enforce any law
which shall abridge the privileges or i'm
munities of citizens nor deprive any per-
son of life, liberty or property without
due process of law, nor deny any person
within it's jurisdiction the equal protection
Of laws"
That is plain, blunt law, and its stark
framework was SO chiseled by the hard
ships of man and has kept its brittle edge
through the hard labors of the sons OF
America - those born here and those
who came here to seek the right to fight
for such liberties.
Today Americas mighty army is made
up of sons of the foreign born, of Negroes
and of the native born who fight with the
same cold skillful determination their
forefathers resorted to in creating the
America of today and its ideals, such as
the Fourteenth Amendment.
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1944-06-08

Harbor had any political background
whatsoever. But whether 1t did or didn't
there have been many questions in the
public mind which were not answered
in the report of Justice Roberts, who
also has expressed himself as favoring
a speedy trial of the two military lead
erS. And although the trials show no
sign of being close at hand, the proposed
investigation will probably be more than
an acceptable substitute, since 1t would
offer considerably more latitude in gath
ering information than would a court
martial. It is hard to see how court
martial or an investigation would offer
any threat to security. After all, the
damage is done and the toll is history.
Probably the enemy has long since
gained whatever valuable information
he could from Pearl Harbor But the
full story of the tragic lack Of alertneSs
there still needs to be told, and the full
responsibility placed.
That is a matter of purely national
concern, and of public interest. If
others besides General Short and Ad-
miral Kimmel were to blame for that
near-knockout blow, the facts should be
known. If not, then these two officers
should stand forth and take whatever
consequences a court-martial may see
fit to impose. If there were negligence
and confusion as well as Jap treachery
at Pearl Harbor, the families of the nearly
5000 officers and men who died there
have right to know about it-not some
time after the war, but now when the
full seriousness of that defeat Is still
strong in our minds.

PLEASE LEAVE THE BEDS!

The Hotel Greeters Of America,
recently meeting in Chicago, took
some time out to weep on each
others shoulders over the persistent
strange perversity Of human nature.
For it seems that so many people
now Illustrating in fat war salaries
are still purloining any thing lift
able" from hotel bedrooms. Strange
indeed, in this mania inducing
otherwise respectable persons to
stuff pillows under their vests
towels in their pocketbooks, and
even, when possible, small lamps in
their Suitcases.
These hotel men, however, did
give clean bill of health to men,
bers of the armed services. Whe-
there 1t Is due to military training
or to the fact that a Waldorf-As-
toria towel for example, might be
quite conspicuous at training camp,
we do not know. Whereas hotel men
have little trouble with service men,
war workers on the other hand, des-
pite fat pay envelopes, are the most
fragrant souvenir hunters. Appar-
emily they interpret literally the
usual sign, "Stop! Have you left
anything?" and make a game eff
fort to answer, mo! Not even the
twin beds!"
We've already admired hotel men.
Nowadays they not only stand out
in the lobby carnation in buttonhole
but many of them are doubling in
brass, at the kitchen sink, or on the
elevator, in order to keep things
running. II once in a while the
machinery of the hosiery creaks a
little, we should be patient. When
the war Is over, and help is once
more plentiful. we can again enjoy
impeccable service. Meanwhile,
apart from ethical and plain HUI
manitarian considerations, thinking
humans should really restrain that
impulse to lift souvenirs. Don't
you think mine host" has troubles
enough?
