educational status raising the physical standards of the nations manpower lowering its literacy rate ana developing the ideals of citizenship.
 Add all these points together and they seem to provide a SOD to the educators who have not been able to agree on how the universal military training program should be conducted Some educators oppose the idea altogether. Others admit its necessity but want the years training spread over four summer vacations Still others want the training to run par allel with school work And many want the uni versa training system used screen to find talent for further medical scientific technical training
 All such ideas may be noble of purpose, but the Army and Navy planners responsible only for the countrys defense may well ask if such supplementary activities are any part of their business The military must avoid getting too deeply involved in problems of civilian defense. At the same time any universal training program must be run with minimum of miltarism modified discipline and lot less soldier ing than there is in the professional armed serVlces That is the predicament which the staff planners now face and it is the paradox they must solve.
 Actually the Presidents message caught the stair planners little off base The message had not been expected until January. Consequently the postwar planning committees in the War and Navy Depart ments were not fully prepared with their oueprintS on how universal training will work Such plans as they had drawn up made obsolete by the Presl- dents message
 Full speed ahead has now been ordered, however, and by the time the House Military Affairs Connllt- tee is ready to begin hearings on Congressman An- drew J. Mays bill to provide for universal training early in November answers to most ot the emoarras- sing questions should be available.
 What universal military training is going to cost no one today has the faintest idea but 1t will be plenty Pay for million traineeS alone at $500 Q year, would be 500 million dollars

Problems To Be Faced

They need homes and jobs
 There are as many problems facing us this fall and winter of l94546 year three or four years ago The Community Chest and War Fund Drive needed very much than realized in the drive just closed The Victory Loan needs much than will be realized.
 There serious housing conditions facing every community the size of It is appalling to discover how many people have to contrve to find decent ana place in which to live; they not to be had Tor the begging the asking The sick and the needy are m cared for in many cases; at premium and there possible comfort to be had for the sick and needy.
 The juvenile delinquency problems continue to be acute Personal experiences and specific cases related by those dealing with children remn dus of this The city is well equipped to handle such problems and has efficient agencies that look after our social problems But all these
 things being there also need of individual support and
 sharing of responsibilities Smugness in the postwar ,erod is deplorabe being stacker in time It 3ehooves all therefore to help the country in rehabta Ion by helping out in their own community.

An American Election

Again the majority of the voting public of Waterbury has acclaimed the government of the Democratic Party as their choice administration designed to conduct and their civic affairs For the second consecutive time Mayor John Monagan and his entire administration has been voted into office indicative of the will of the voting majority.
 In the defeat of Raymond E. Snyder and his Republ cohorts there is of qualification to be gleaned by them. They proved capable and formidable candidates and by proving they made manifest the fundamentals democracy that two party system in healthy dispute is the American way.
 To Mayor Monagan and his entire administration we extend our congratulations at this time and wish them for the sake of community another two years of office which will prove to be prosperous progressive ana well balanced To date they have given Waterbury an overall administration of sound business practice promised upon alert keen perception of civic responsibility There should be for any deviation and by the same token there should be little the pubcs part to be apprehenSive of any deviation
 In terms of the Democratic Party the returns reveal ing the uneang of Democrats in such Sronghods as New and Hartford is of alarm and coupled with the majority poled by the victorious party in Waterbury should be sufficient for all Democrats to look to their affairs nroadS been made into the strength o the Party that evident and if the party system of gov is be sustained such weaknesses and flaws are not the way to do it. Something lacking and should be lighted.

Intervention

Before the Pacific ended taken for granted that the Allies after Japan proper was crushed would De compelled to spend many years cleaning up by-paSsed military groups that refused to surrender This necessity did not evenuate but America and Britain may face an indeterminae period of diplomatic and perhaps military operations against other Asiac peoples Representatives of both nations in Java trying to determine what is re- qured to restore order in the East Indies
 Clearly the Javanese leaders serious in their de- termination to be subject to Holland again They say the Javanese will kill all of the returning Dutchmen that they can that they will refuse to work for the colonial ad- minstration and will attempt to keep food from the foreigners
 Here is a for collective bargaining on an inter national scale The mission of the Americans and the British will be to get the leaders of Java and Holland on a common ground for discussion Perhaps Holland, by agreeing to give Java sefdetermnaton at early date the cooperation of the natives The JaVanese are determined to win independence but the leadership of Europeans during preparatory period is virtually ndls- pensable. not step into selfrule and economic control overnight
 If America and Britain can compose the Holand-JaVa
 differences major step will have been taken toward World order in years to come.

WHERE ARE OUR MANNERS?
(New York Herald-Tribune)

(NeW York Herald-Tribune)
 Although the damage done to the battleship Missouri by visitors ap- pears not to have been so great as the first reports would indicate, it was bad enough. It is possible, of course, to take an optimistic view of this news by reflecting that, after all, the crowds were moved not merely by curiosity but by sort of patriotism and laudible sentiment as well-but even that does not quite remove the unpleasant taste. The souvenir collecting urge gets out of hand a little too often for comfort.
 The behavior of American crowds, especially when moved by hysteria or morbidity, has long been sub ject which our psychologists have tried to explain. We are a people who, not content to have lynching, must also collect pieces of the rope for souvenirs; when a popular idol like Valentino dies we break the windows of the undertaking estab- lishment in our eagerness for one last look; when a singer like Frank Sinatra comes along a horde of bob by-soXers and maudlin, glasSy- eyed autograph hunters tries to mob him. And so on. We are a wonderful, gen.

testlfled m faVor oi thS luea DeIOTt VITBIIIId Congressman Clifton A. Woodrums Committee on Postwar Military Policy. No mention 1t it Is to be found in Gen. Marshalls report
 At first glance this idea may look like getting one foot in the door for national service in case there should be another The late President Roosevelts War Secretaries Stimson and Patterson, Congress man Jim Wadsworth of New York and others, advo- cated compulsory work fight bills all through the manpower crisis of the past few years.
 They didn't get to first base with their proposals then and the chances of getting any kind of com pulsory service legislation through Congress are no better today. So there apparently is no intent to advocate forced labor in time of the next national emergency, though everyone may have to De trained for bigger part in it.
 Coupling the Presidents reference to training in certain sklls" with several other vague passages in the message and it's intent becomes bit palmer In the following paragraph the President refers to selecting outstanding trainees and sending them to college with government financial aid. And earlier in the message he speaks of improving the Tainees

general into the black bath of anti-Semtism by charging that the soldier he slapped was Jewish, and that, in vengeance Patton was being bounded toward disgrace by prominent Jews with Washing ton influence. He even went ahead to call names.
 This mighty-revelaton promptly turned into one the deadest and most odoriferous cats that ever decorated the door sill of alleged journalism when it developed that the soldier whose jows were ficked by the general was Jewish neither in racial strain religious affiation
 The dscredted journalist finally took it all back and said he'd simply made a terrible mistake, but the damage was done in print ard on the air.
 Then the clustering exhibitonist" sudden ly attacked from the rear by squad ot typewriter Napoeons who accused him of cold boodedly murder ing tank column in effort to rescue his son-n- law from a German prison camp. Patton nas denied that he knew his son-in-law in the place, and young officer from these parts Hammelburg pris- oner the time, says Patton couldn't have known It and can do good job at proving why.
 The intrepid correspondents however say It had to be the son-in-law because the camp was of to the side of Pattons allotted zone and the sacrifice was needless because the camp was due to be deliv- cred and was delivered, within three or four days anyhow. Patton says he knew nothing or the presence of his daughters husband, and that the tactical purposes of the missions were: CD Reconnaissance CD To create a diversion, (3 To deliver the camp. The evidence seems say that two tough panzer d- visions were frozen in place by the sortie-and that the entire German defense in that zone was Iiung into confusion and then into rout

copies of the decoded winds" message were made and distributed to different branches of the govern ment, but the original copy made by the Navy has disappeared from the files. and insiders contend that this advance warning never re- ceived
 The winds" message in Navy file No TOOL" contained the logs of three Navy monitoring stations which tuned ill Jap short-wave broadcasts. This entire file has disappeared.
 However, ample information remains in the files to get all-too-clear picture of what happened inside the War-Navy Departments when the advance Jap warning was received It is given in detail in the secret report of the Armys Pearl Harbor nvesti gating committee.
 On Dec. 4, three days before Pearl Harbor Tokyo sent out the winds" message notifying Jap embas- ses and all Jap ships that war would come any moment Rear Admr. Leigh Moves chief of the Naval Communications section phoned this information to Col. Otis K Sadtler of Army Intelligence at 9:30 a. m. Dec 5.
 Col sadtler immediately notified Gen. sherman Miles head of Military Intelligence and Col R. S. Bratton, Army Intelligence expert on the Far East The secret Army report then states that sadter was instructed to call Admr. Moves back and get the exact text of the winds" message However, Moves refused to talk to him.
 The Admiral explained that he was in confer and too busy" but would attend to the matter later.
 That may be too late" Col. Sadtler franctically reported to Gen. Miles
 Miles promptly contacted Gen Leonard Gerow chief of the War Plans Division, suggesting that Army leaders in Hawaii be advised at of the Jap war messages Col. Sadtler also talked to Gen Gerow, stating War is coming and coming quickly"
 
 In this connection it should be noted that on Nov. 27, one week before Admr Husband Kimmel in Pearl Harbor had received message reading: This dispatch is to be considered a warning. Negotia- tons with Japan have ceased and an aggressive move by Japan is expected within the next few days" similar warning had been sent to Gen. Short by the War Department. Other warnings had been sent on Nov. 23 and Nov 30 This why the Rob- erts report pinned the blame Short and Kimme
 Meanwhile in Washington, the secret Army re- port reveals that another ominous Jap war message intercepted. This was a note from Tokyo to its Berlin embassy for transmission to Hitler. Sent on Nov 30 the message assured Hitler of continued CO., operation and characterized insulting Secy

PROSPECTS OF THE LABOR
 MANAGEMENT MEETING

(NeW York Sum
 Though the labor-management conference which opens at Wash ington today is in the position of a peace conference committed not to take up some of the principal causes of strife. it may nevertheless have some success. Such issues as wages and hours and working con- ditions are not on the program, though they may be added. But the program does include so many of the issues whcih have produced costly disputes in the past that if there is even limited agreement the conference will not have been in vain. The guiding rule under which the delegates will function is the one requiring fifteen out of the eighteen representatives of both la bor and management to agree be- fore any concrete result can be
