The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-03-10
The Age of Reason

The Democratic National Committee, doubtless seated in a circle about steaming cauldron, devised way to close the riftS in party ranks. They would, it was decided invoke the spirit of Thomas Jefferson instead of Andrew Jackson at their annual fund-raiSlng dinner, thereby soothing the feelings of their 'Jeffersonian Democrat" members.
 Then some of the chieftains outside the charmed circle raised an objection. The Jefferson Day dinner would fall on Frl- day the 18th, baleful fact that most certainly would spell the party's doom in the next elections.
 We can't think of anything in this age of science and reason that has done more to renew our faith in witchcraft. We now suspect that it wasn't MT. Hillman ana the PAC that swung the November cleo tion, as most people believe. We prefer to believe that the Democratic Natlonal Committee met one dark night beneath a messy oak and stuck pins in the eifigy of Governor Dewey.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-03-10
Twenty Years Ago

On March 18th all freedom loving people throughout the world will remem- Der that just twenty years ago great Chinese democrat died in China. The man was pr. Sun Vat Sen, and while at that time the world did not realize that a great mind and a great spirit died, his importance has increased throughout the wears until now he stands recognized in his true perspective as the person reSporS- ible for the birth of democracy in China.
 For centuries the Manchus, conquerors from the North, had ruled China. It IS only short time ago when the Chinese civilian was forced to wear pigtallS as mark of his Servitude to a conquerlng power. That power, namely the Manchu, had brought civilization that had con tinuous history since the dawn Of history to the depths of degradation. The Japan csc on their nearby islands were waiting for the what felt sure was the inevitable collapse of organized Chinese govern ment to come in and take over. The nnorsel was very tempting, for four nun dred million Chinese exploited for the benefit of the SamuraiS and the Son or Heaven was something worth fighting for = that is from the Japanese point of view. But there was one man who saw that the time for change had come ana that man was Dr. Sun Vat Sen. Many years ago whle in London Dr. Sun had been kidnapped by the agents of the Manchus and held incommunicado for twelve days. It seemed as if the career of this intrepid fighter for freedom had come to an untimely end. Were 1t not for an accident of fate whereby an Eng fish policeman was informed that Chinese scholar was being held against his will on British soil in the Chinese Embassy, the Doctor might have been shipped back to China to be beheaded. The Doctor was released most reluctantly by the Manchus and immediately began to organize his forces for the final over throw of the Dowager Empress.
 On October 10, 1911, the revolution was finally successful and today, when American boys are fighting together with their Chinese comrades against the con- mon enemy, Japan, we in turn can be thankful that pr. Sun was able to ln- culcate the principles of Democracy into the hearts of his people.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-03-10

in a presidential election year. Democrats arc not expected to go along with this proposal, unless the amendments were amended to read that the four-year terms be concurrent
 Democrats probably won't object to the constitutional amendment establishing the right of succession by the lieutenant governor in the event of the death of the governor In office Definitely out, so it would seem, on both sides are the pro. posals that minor court judges serve four years and that the governor name them with the consent of the Legislature. This has long been recommended by vari- ouS legal, judicial and legislative groups, but seldom gets more than lip service from either the Senate or House. Judi clal reform evidently isn't going to stem from this Legislature any more than others before 1t,
 In order to stay alive constitutional amendment has to survive two successive legislative sessions. The second time 1t must be approved by two-thirds vote Of both houses If it gets by this test, and it certainly is one here in Connecticut, 1t goes to the voters of the state at local elections. After a wait, if approval is xoiced, the amendments go on the books. But there usually has to be almost unanimous demand for an amendment before it becomes fact. Connecticut IS as deliberate in this procedure as 1t is in all such changes,
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-03-10
Two Up, Two Down

Of the seven constitutional amend nents coming up for legislative action this year, so far there have been favorable reports from the House committee on two of them. Two were reported unfav- orably; three remain to be heard from. Of the two favorably reported, it is expected that at least one will be given khe opposite treatment when reported to xlae Senate. This is the proposal that the terms of all state officials be for four gears instead of two and that their elec- &pn shall take place at off-years and not
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-03-10
Housing After the War

It's good business for municipalities and towns to start talking and arguing about what direction housing will take after the war is won. Right now the sub- feet is a controversial one here in Con- necticut. There are various plans being brought forward for united drive against poor housing. But most of all those plans should allow for the individual communi- tvs needs and it's capabilities. What Waterbury might want to do or could do, probably wouldn't coincide with the Thoughts of Bridgeport or New Haven on the same subject.
 We have had a lot of housing here in Waterbury since the war started Much of it has been satisfactory, some of 1t not quite what we might want to see con tinued. The public housing program evl- dently must have been adequate, for we have the spectacle of large group of houses out on the top of Wolcott Street, as yet untenanted, because the demand for this type of housing by the immigrant worker is not heavy enough. There seems to be enough houses at the projects on Long Hill and Hamilton Avenue to care for this type of worker.
 Mayor John s. Monagan on several occasions has voiced his opinion on slum clearance projects. He is definitely inter ested in this trend in community build ing, but it is one for the postwar period. However, it's important in our civic de: velopment that we keep sight of the need of something along this line. There are areas in this city that should be cleared of existing structures, but this brings up the need of housing those dispossessed in the process. Our postwar building pro- gram must provide adequate, modern, livable quarters for people in every wage bracket. It's certainly local problem and not one to be determined entirely by state or federal procedures.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-03-10

Bridgeport officials took some interest in the hearing at Hartford this past week on courts Actually the discussion was on the Bridgeport City Court, concerning which Mayor Jasper McLevy and other Park City officials would like to have the judge made full-time, receive $8,50oo annually, and serve four years instead Of two, as well as let the governor name hlm with the consent of the Legislature. Dur ing this hearing something was said about probate judges and Bridgeport off cials went on record as opposed to keep ing them on fee basis. They'd prefer a salary set by Superior Court judges. They mentioned salaries ranging from more than $2O,OOO to $500. One com ment on this was that the top-ranking judges were over-paid, the low ones under paid. But this takes no recognition or the business of the court nor the amount of detail involved in conducting one where there might be business warrant ing the high salary.

man Army, but in view of what we know of the German Army, the odds probably are against 1t. On the face of 1t, therefore. should think the Provost Marshal would try to break up the NaA on-commissioned officer system instead of continuing 1t in our own prison camps.
 I should think also that there must he some way of weeding out the good prisoners from the had for obviously the first batch of prisoners had was reasonably good. But if they are thrown with men like tho second batch, they are not gO- ing to remain that way long.
 International treaties are im- portant and I am not one to advocate hastily tearing them up. But when the Germans have al- ready torn up the Geneva Con- vention by shooting, mulitating and half starving American pris- oners in Germany, then l fail to see why We should adopt a silk glove attitude toward arrogant Nazis in American camps.
 The least we can do is to separate the good Germans from the bad, and put the latter on bread and water instead of feed ing them on the fat of the land.
 The present silk-glove policy doesn't seem to have influenced Berlin. Perhaps the threat of re- taliation will.
