Victory Preparation

Americans reaction to the spectacular Russian advance on Berlin has been notably different from their reaction to the lightning liberation of France by our forces last summer. The reasons can be summed up best in "once bitten, twice shy" We have acquired higher estl- mate of the German armyS stubborn power since General Patton'S summer blitzkrieg We have remembered the sorry aftermath of our optimism as It affected war production. We have been given to understand that the fall of Der lin probably will not mean the fall ot Germany, So the term "V-E Day" has scarcely been heard. The burning queS- tion of whether the nations bars should be open or closed on the day of victory has not been revived. The rash Of mill tary and civilian plans for VIE Day has failed to break out again. But it seems to us that there is one item of preparation which might be undertaken. For, while it appears that the war with Germany will drag on for several months, some unlooked-for development might possl- bly, end it suddenly. And with that end there would be a tremendous release ot emotion throughout the Allied countries.
 The preparation, then, might take the form of a plea to the whole country to keep celebration within safe and reason able bounds when the time comes It might come from the President, the 4o governors, or some other government or military leader. And it could be bolstered by extra safety precautions in offices and plants to supplement police protecJlon' Considerable damage was done through out the country on Armistice Day in 1918. Full metal waste paper baskets were dropped from office windows Various missiles were thrown through glass paneS. Cabs and automobiles were tipped over Desks and other office fixtures were dam- aged.
 We cannot afford duplication this time. There is another war to be won after Germany is defeated. The workers materials, tools and records needed to carry on that war are too valuable and scarce, and the time taken to replace them too costly, to be endangered by un- controlled high spirits. The potentlal danger of such destruction is greater now than in 1918. Our war industry facllltleS are vastly expanded and hence more Vul- nerable to the threat of careless damage. So it might be well if an appeal were made to all of us to make up our minds now that when the time for rejoicing comes' we shall think of the job ahead and guard against hysteria and havoc

A Thought for Today
Diamond Jubilee

Youthful in it's outlook, flouriShing in its business, ambitious in it's outlook such characterize the Silas Bronson Library on the eve of it's 75th anniversary of establishment Highly pleased must be those who are so intimately linked to the work of this great institution as this important milestone is approached. And judging by the annual report sub- mitted week ago the library staff and directors are conscious of the fact that as this anniversary hears the time for radical expansion is at hand.
 By this we mean the officials who make 1t possible for thousands of WaterburianS to enjoy complete panorama of the writ ten and printed word are experiencing dis tinct growing pains. The familiar and hauowed walls which have stood these many years can bulge no further. The bursting point is near, the SaturatlOn point has been reached. In short the next step is a new library. It seems like sound suggestion, although there will be many who will protest, even view with horror any plan abandon the existing struc- ture.
 There is no doubt truth in what the library heads say about their inability to cope with the situation here in Water bury any longer under conditions as they exist within the preesnt building It has proved adequate these many years; it has given thousands of happy hours to men and women interested in tuning their minds to the literature that was their particular objective. But studying the report on the number of volumes on the shelves and their tremendous annual circulation one cannot help but wonder that so fine record is attained.
 interested in building itself to as promi- nent a place as it has occupied in war production times along the industrial front. Certainly our far-fung plans for expansion on many fronts could well in- cIude one for library such as the pres ent directors are now visioning.

The Throttlebottom Touch

Victor Moore, as Throttlebottom in "Of Thee Sing," brought the office of Vice President of the United States out of ob- scurity and invested it with good many endearing qualities. No real-life holder of the post has ever approached Mr. Moores double triumph. John Nance Garner gave the Vice Presidency some what humorous and folksey touch, and Henry A. Wallace was anything but ob- scure in the job. But that's about as far as it ever went.
 Now, however, we have hopes. They arose as we looked at the picture of Vice President Truman seated at piano, with the sultry Miss Lauren Bacall half-reclin- ing atop the instrument. There, we said, now that looks like something Victor Moore would do-Victor Moore, who has spent the recent years of his professional life practically smothered by beautiful girls in every one of his shows

We Are Winning the War But

Are the people of the United States being adroitly educated into the belief that they are no longer competent as individuals to manage their own aftlrs? Are there influences at work in our coun- try, taking advantage of the war to SOW the seeds of tsate socialism? There is a persistent effort being made to convince the people that wartime controls and re- Strictions must follow into the postwar era.
 War brings not only the threat of an attacking enemy, but the danger of en- trenched officialism which never will Mngly relaxes it's grip. The United States is the worlds greatest example of the accomplishments of a free people, as con- traSted with nations where governments have been in the drivers seats.
 When this war started, free enterprise fn the United States was prepared to pro- duce; the railroads were ready to trans port; the electric power companies were ready to furnish power; the coal mines, the oil wells, the retail distributing sys- tenn, agriculture, our automobile industry, all business was ready to go at the drop of a hat American industry long had been producing on an efficient competl- tive basis, as contrasted with the lethargy of government nonopolies in foreign nations.
 Mobilization and distribution of a na- tion'S resources in wartime, including her sons and daughters, is one thing-but bureaucratic control of the industries ana businesses of free nation, and the Sub- stitution of political management and Judgment for individual energy, intelll- gence and responsibility in peacetime, is another thing. The latter leads to the death of liberty as surely as the first pre- vents the encroachment of tyranny.

will not find the duties of his new office so burdensome that he will renounce these occasional touches of pure Thorttlebot- tom. Perhaps it's an expensive luxury, but we rather like the idea of a little con- scious clowning in official Washington now and then. It ought to be nice change from the unconscious variety which we frequently get from the bureaus and Capitol Hill

Views Of The Press
MAN WITHOUT A PARTY?
Philadelphia RecorO

(Phlladelphla RecOrQ)
 It is & cute little wartime comedy they are playing up in Conencticut. Governor Baldwin has named Ad- miral Thomas c. Hart to the vacant U. s. Senate seat of the late Fran ciS Maloney, Democrat.
 Hart, he says, has been chosen be- cause he is man with no party aff1liation; indeed, a man above party. Down in Washington the act is being carried on through pre- tended puzzlement over where Ad- miral Hart shall be seated: on the Republican or Democratic side Of the Senate chamber?
 Lest our readers lie awake nights counting, not sheep but Senators engaged in debating whether to put the admiral to port or starboard- We suggest they put their $2 on Re publican" to win, and sleep in peace.
 It may be coincidence, but (a) Admiral Hart's wife has been active in Republican political circles in Connecticut; (b) Clare Luce en- Enthusiastically indorsed the idea of naming Hart to the Senate; Hart is registered as a Republican, and Governor Baldwin, who appointed him, is a Republican.
 So "leave us no longer pretend" The Admiral-Senator is not man without a party. Nor should he be.
 Party government is the basis of American politics. Only in the infant days of this nation were men elected on an individual basis. Party government developed because the need for party responsibility cre- ated it.
 It perish the notion that Admiral Hart will find himself all at sea in the Senate chamber. He's too smart and able for that. And where he sits in teh Senate won't be nearly so im- portant as what he stands for.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-02-17

cannot have both, then of course there is no choice-one must choose the way of conscience. But that man is foolish indeed who, because he knows himself to be in the right, has no concern whatsoever for the opion his associates may entertain concerning him.
 St. Paul speaks of taking thought for things honorable, mot only In the sight of the Lord, but also in the sigh of men," The Chinese have a proverb: Tn a field of melons, do not stoop to tie your shoe" The inference is that If you do so. you may be suspected Of stealing your neighbors melons. It is important that one should at all times know himself to be innocent of wrong doing, but 1t 1S also important that

AS A MATTER OF FACT

Shakespeare might be bit surprised tc come back and discover he had been writing musical comedies. Most Shake, speare plays have spot of music on and off stage, strolling players, serenaders and the like, and it adds quite little to the performance. The most recent 711a Shakespeare produced by Margaret Web- ster is ''The Tempest" which aas little more music than the usual play: TOO much to leave it in the comedy class, It seems, and since a special score was writ ten for this special production, it has been deemed that not enough musicians nave been hired, so if "The Tempest" isn't a musical comedy it better be, or else

 Johanna LobsenZ in The New York 1lmes) What Odyssey of Life's neer ending change Brought you thus far across dividing seas To rest forgot and lost in this old shop Till someone finding you, and claiming you Ad one more chapter to your WanderlngS! Easy to vision how you must have stood Time and again in some great concert nall, Mute center on q stage of muted lights But vibrant when some masters hand evoked Tones that gave life to Music's noblest dreams let my fingers wake your yelowed keys: The tones came forth still deeply resonant Yet trembly here and there like an old voice That, even quavering, could still convey How once 1t carried high authority

 Speaking to a group of news paper friends, Dewey said he has mo illusions about '48," and went on to point out that by 1948, there will doubtless DC several promin- ent Republicans back from the wars who, with millions of other ex-serviccmen supporting them, might make extremely effective candidates.
 All this came out at the hush hush dinner Dewey attended with handful of Washington cores pondents. Dewey really let his hair down, told the boys he would be no "pop-off" man, did not plan to issue statements on every national issue. Therefore he would not press to keep his posi- tion as titular head of the party. Dewey also said he planned very few speeches, would concentrate on doing the best job he knew how as Governor of New York.
 Dewey was asked whether he had any regrets about the re- gently concluded campaign. He replied that he didn't. If he had 1t to do over again, he said, he would conduct it almost ex- actly the same way, with one exception - he felt he had made a mistake in blasting away so hard at the New Deal during the last weeks of the drive.
 "Tf l had 1t to do over again." Dewey said, "I would cOncen- trate more on presenting my own program and less on attacking the other fellows"
 MAC ARTHUR AND MARINES
 The boys in the Pacific long have known about the rivalry be- tween General MacArthur and the U. s. Navy. Many are the wise cracks about Macarthur and the U. s. Marines, land arm of the Navy. However, in only one case so far as is known, has Mac Arthur ever come up against one of these jokes face to face.
 It happened on one of the Philippine Islands few days af- ter 1t was taken and when Mac Arthur was inspecting a battery of Marine Artillery. Solemnly, he passed from gun to gun, mak- ing no comment.
 Then suddenly as he came to one gun, he turned on the Ma rine lieutenant in command and let loose the most terrific dress ing-down that young officer ever had received. The air was smoky with explosives. The lieutenant at first stood beWildered. The gun was carefully polished. Every thing was in place. Then he looked a little closer. Beside the gun an enlisted man had placed a sign. It read:
 with the help of God and a few
 marines,
 MacArthur retakeS the Philip
 pines"
 The lieutenant thought at first that he would be busted. But for several days passed and noth- ing happened. He is now back III CIlC OIllIcu OOdOCo UAAN OAAS story can be told.
 FUEL FOR JOHN L. LEWIS
 Administration leaders trying to ward off a nationwide coal shutdown on April l, were upset the other day to see that their friends in OPA had given a price hike to two chains of coal com- pany stores, thus adding fuel to John L. Lewis argument that prices have gone up.
 The price increase went to the Koppers company stores and the Island Creek Stores. both oper- ating extensively in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Permission to charge higher prices came about through a change in category, whereby they were allowed to switch from the chain store to the non-chain store category which permits charge of higher prices.
