Issues and Personalities

Intimate acquaintance with celebrities is precarious pleasure which most peo- pie escape. They are fortunate that they do-that is, if they are interested in a fair appraisal of the celebrities abilities rather than in their autographs. For to know famous person-crooner baseball star or statesman - is usually to suffer a warped judgment. The impression of haS personality, positive or negative, tends to outweigh his attainments. So perhaps Colonel Edmund w. Starling, who died last week, was not the ideal man to assign places in history to the five presidents of the United States whom he guarded for 30 years. But his opinion of them is, nevertheless, valuable. For he had the gift. so rare among celebrity-knowers, of being able to divorce fame and achieve nent from personality. Thus he knew and judged the presidents as men And what did this tall, quiet, steel-eyed, soft spoken Kentucky colonel think of the White House residents he served? T never knew a president" he once said, "who wasn't subject to human error, like any other man. But neither did ever know one who was not gentleman"
 The presidents he knew so well and guarded so well were Woodrow Wilson, Warren c. Harding, Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover and Franklin D. Roose- welt. Perhaps five more diSSimilar men never occupied the executive mansion. Colonel Startling knew them in sickness and health, good temper and bad, hours of indecisions and Encouragement and triumph. He liked them all and they liked him. It is quite certain that he would have enjoyed the same friendship with Charles Evans Hughes, James M. Cox, John w. Davis, Al Smith, Ali Lan- don and Wendell Willkie if the voters had given them four-year leases on the White House.
 And what has all this got to do with the millions of Americans who never even shook the hand of a senator, let alone a president? Only this: a lot of these Americans in this hot summer have been making themselves even hotter with highly personaliZed arguments about presidential candidates. And since they don't know either candidate, they don't know what they're talking about. There are some clear-cut issues in this cam paign. But these voters are losing friends and failing to influence people by skipping the issues in favor of vituperatiye remarks about personalities, voices, mustaches, blue serge suits, wives, dogs, and what have you. Neither candidate is an ogre. Neither is matching a fiendish plot to throw the country to the dogs the Indi- ans, Adolf Hitler or Josef Stalin. The presidents Colonel starling knew were falllble, but gentlemen. They probably always will be, doing the best they can according to their beliefs and abilities

StTaws in the Wind

Two items of news have lately come out of Europe which, though not Of world shaking or even Page One importance, provide another revealing glimpse of the state Of German strength and morale, one is an ultlmatum from Norwegian patriots to their Quisling eountrynen Of the Nazi police force The other is a statement by the German Confessional Church, said to be the strongest denun' cIatlon of Nazism the German clergy has ever made. Both declarations are bold and confident, Their tone is not that Of terrified nlinorlties. but of men whose words are backed by strength as well as right, and who therefore do not fear, The Norwegian patriots ordered the officers not to seek out youths who had fled Aazl eOnseFipti0D, on pain Of meeting "the same fate as that of Police Inspector Llndvlg and Sheriff Horgen", lBoth these men, notorious Nazi eollab0fators, were killed by "unknoWn assallants,0 The Qulsling sheFlffs were told that the order "is not to be regarded as sugges' ton, but as 8 eommanc coming from tne highest authority in time Of war"

Free Men or Public Servants

Electric power development has been made such a political issue by the Fed eral governments great hydro-electric dams, that the people lose sight of the real principle involved. It is common practice for administrators of tax-exempt Federal projects to argue that they furnish power cheaper than can highly taxed private enterprise.
 If it is important for the government to go into the generation of electricity in order to save the private householder a few cents a month on his electric bill, why should it not go the rest of the way and furnish food, clothing and rent lat cost" which items constitute the bulk of his financial worries?
 The people should get this issue straight and decide whether they want to change our country from nation of private enterprise to one of state social ism. Public ownership of power is socialism, any way you look at it. When you eliminate profit, you eliminate pri- vate opportunity.
 If we favor putting the government into the power business to save a dime, we should be hundred times more ar1x- ious to put it into farm production, clothes production and housing produc- ton. Already these ideas are being ad- vanced as the next logical step from socialized power to other Socialized industry.
 If the average American wants to work for the government instead of for himself, then vote for socialized indus try. But don't be fooled with the idea that half the business of the nation can run without profit, while the other half is allowed to operate as private enter prise. with a profit. AS government takes profit out Of business, it must secure its taxes to operate by heavier and heavier assessments against the wages of individuals.

During thirty years of medical prac- tice in Waterbury Dr. John s. Dye was a busy, conscientious man in his profess sion. His death this week following an active career here in medicine is a definite loss to the profession and the community.
 During World War he was active m the Medical Corps and did much to standardize surgical services in United States base hospitals. He had many social and professional affiliations, ana gave his advice and service to many local industrial companies.
 The medical profession loses valuable man in his passing and the city an esti' mable citizen.

The War Production Board is split into tw oseparate camps.
 Here is the backstage story Of what all the argument is about.
 The WIPE statistical division. under Charles E. Wilson, last week circulated a monthly prog ress report. Then, no sooner was 1t in the hands of top WIPE exc ecutives. than the report was mys. teriously called back. Urgent de- mands were made by Wilson's of. flee that it be returned immedi- ately. All but perhaps two copies were destroyed.
 That report, while pointing to. deficiencies in certain key war materials. otherwise painted a very rosy picture of war produc- tion. It showed that there was nine months supply of ordnance on hand, plus one month supply being assembled. plus five months supply in scheduled production The report statde that the war could run for one year and three months on the ordnance now sotrod up O rcoming off the assembly lines. without ordering anything else.
 The report also showed that the total supply Of small arms would last for fiy ewhole years Of war.
 The supply Of tractors, trucks and tFailFes, plus htos beenig as- sembled and in actual production. was enough to last one year, according to the WIPE report,
 Guns and fire control weapons Were listed as sufficient in stor- age last eight full months with. out turning another wheel, plus four monhts supply ebing assem- hled and repaired. plus two months supply in scheduled production.
 Ammunition for big guns leg- eluding small armsl was listed as enouguh stored to last one whole year. Including amounts in scheduled production, big gun ammunition was listed as sufii- icnte to last twentyetllree months

AS A MATTER OF FACT

We have heard too many diagnoses Of the cause of juvenile delinquency, and too few cures. Most authorities, self-sty.led and otherwise, agree that the fault lies with the parents. But the city Of San Francisco is doing something about 1t: Parents of delinquents, or those charged with neglect and bad family behavior. are "sentenced" by a juvenile court to eight lectures on how to rear children. Perfect attendance may bring them a suspended sentence, other things being equal But the case is not disposed of till school IS finished, Sounds like a good idea.
