CAPITAL CHAFF

Although Representative Albert Carter, California, lost out last year to George P. Miller, Carter is drawing $3,000 per year plus overtime on the Congressional pay roll of Representative Al Elliott. Carter is Republican, but is being paid by a Democrat :. Mary Ellen Smith draws $3,735 per year on the pay roll of her stepfather, loud -mouthed Representative Paul Stewart, Democrat of AntlerS, Okla homa, but Miss Smith puts in the major part of her time as student at George Washington University.

to the productivity of economic system Wartime savings the other hand represent the huge waste which is the inevitable by-product of war. They fleet the fact that have failed to pay go. They do not represent funds which will be diverted to the creation of capital with the beneficent effects savings devoted to that purpose have had in the past
 This volume of current savings also has signi- fcance from another point of view. In some quarters it has been emphasized that when production is cut back, total wage incomes will be reduced. This reduction it is held will that the demand for consumers goods will be similarly curtailed and that therefore higher wage rates necessary to prevent unemployment Such an analysis overlooks the large amount of slack offered by these record savings Cur tailments in income will be reflected in the first in- stance in lower taxes and smaller savings out of current income rather than in lower purchases of goods and services This is particularly true because of the large backlog of savings already accumulated We are urgently in need of reorientation in our attitude toward these savings Proposals designed to offset reductions in purchasing power assume such savings normal The reverse is true. They rep resent highly abnormal development and one which remains a potential threat to the stability of our economy

Can This Happen?

Cincinnati Enquirer Bearsley Rum the New York businessman who is widely known for his -you-go tax plan held out possibility of postwar future interesting to con- template when he spoke here recently It was inter- esting because it was like sitting down to Kraton $500 OO0 000 national debt and then suddenly ing appear a full-course dinner with fet mignon as the piece de resistance
 The most dramatic and arresting part of Ruml's talk that for the last 16 the normal annual increase of to per cent in the nations ability to produce has not been translated into a higher standard of living. This creates the very pleasant situation that if the nation has full employment after reconversion it will have 40 to 50 per cent increase in the standard of living, according to Rumls analysis
 To Americans who have passed through a long depression followed by long war this adds up a picture of ourselves that somewhat resembles the impression most foreigners have of Americans.
 For management of the nations imposing debt, Ruml advocates tax rate under which the national budget would be balanced only when there is high employment and against which amortizing payments would be made only when there is boom. He finds it all a matter of keeping purchasing power in the hands of the people by not taxing them too heavily Ruml, who accepts precedents as proof Of nothing and believes only that which he can reason out for himself makes the whole problem sound so soluble as if nothing more to give inspiration and courage to those who must find way to get the people of this country back to the prosperity which they demand and which they should have.

you will find that he merely says he was born in Tennessee. He does not say where, and he does not list his father or mother.
 Fact is that the Generals father was Rev. T. R. Handy, an itinerant Methodist preacher who spent fifty years shepherding his flocks in the mountains of South western Virginia and Eastern Ten nessee. His father sent young Handy to college at Emory and Henry, a church school near Bristol, because it made special con- sessions to preachers sons.
 But the General also fails to list this in Who's Who, perhaps because he was asked to leave by the faculty when a porfessor came by and saw a freshman being mildly hazed. Actually, Tom Handy was just looking on, but the professor suspected him of being the ring leader.
 That was the turning point in Tom .Handy's start toward be- coming full general. He went to the Virginia Military Institute, was graduated, won a decoration in France, along with MacArthur and in the same operation. After the war he taught at VMI, the same school from which General Mar shall was graduated. During the years of peace, when other officers were playing golf, bridge or polo, Handy was working night and day. Quiet, shy, confident. he went through all the advanced schools.

WARTIME SAVINGS

The Department of Commerce estimates the sav- ings of individuals in 1914 at about $40O00 000 000 This is an al-time record The abnormality of this volume of savings is indicated when it is compared with prewar peak of less than S90O0000000 in the boom year of 1929 In fact savings of individuals last year equal to about half of the national income of this country in 1929. This peak volume of savings has been created because the has been financed mainly through borrowing rather than taxation. In addition the combination of price control and ra- tioning has made it difficult to spend these extra funds and many persons have refrained periodically from going spending spree.
 For the years 1941 to 1944 savings of individuals aggregated $117,O000 0O0000 This represents a tre- mendous backlog of spending power. It is SUD- pemented by corporate savings of about $l9000 000 900 during the period The longer the war lasts, the greater will this volume of savings become There is no way of knowing the extent to which savings will be spent the postwar period Because of their magnitude however obviously they play i'm portant role at that time.

 BUSINESS AFFAIRS Astrologers again tell wage earn CTS to save for future emergencies Although there is likely to be less financial stress than looked for in the course of reconstruction, cer- tain difficulties are inevitable
 NATIONAL ISSUES Aquarian influences will impart to labor great power, political and industrial. Within the decade radi- cal thinkers and leaders will be accepted as messengers of the new world which is to emerge from the World War, the seers phophesy.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 The stars are read as presaging difficult struggle to vanquish Japan completely and there is a sign that seems to indicate a stubborn fight on the mainland of China, where political develop ments will have a strong influence that affects the date of victory.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of pro- gress. Changes in old ideas are in- dicated.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be talented and ambitious, Self-willed and high-strung. Suc- cess is promised for those who are wisely disciplined.

SUNDAY, APRIL 1, 1945
 Benefic aspects rule today which should be marked by good news regarding the war and promise o1 important legislation.
 HEART AND HOME
 Although the Springtime may be depressing to aged persons there will be much joy in many homes This date is fortunate for religious observances.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Complex problems of trade and commerce will disturb bankers and industrial leaders. A scandal of some sort is indicated when Gov ernment Investigators uncover far reaching plans for postwar cartel expansions.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Church members and other peace lovers will exert influence toward kindly treatment of German and Japanese leaders. The stars seem to warn that danger lies in meas ures that are typical of our high ideals of human relationship. This is a time when stern penalties must be exacted, when punishment must fit the crime.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Revolutionary influences will be strong among our German enemies Neptune is in a place that en- courages riots, chaos and despera- ton. Underground forces will sur vive Nazi defeat for some time but conditions should improve by Sep tember. Deadly treachery of some sort is forecast.
 Pesons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of sue cess. Confidence should rule plans and their realization.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be mentally active and extremely individual. They should be carefully guided, because they may have high tempers.

ROOSEVELT AND AL SMITH

It was the late Al Smith Who more than anyone else persuaded Franklin Roosevelt, then discour- aged by his physical setback, te run for Governor of New York 1T 1923. The race gave FDR his real start toward the Presidency. Later Smith was bitterly critical o1 Roosevelt's domestic issues, but with the war they became more friendly. And when Al died last October, Roosevelt paid him a great tribute in his Boston speech
 Today a modern housing project is being built near Oliver Street, the humble East Side district where Al Smith was reared. And to commemorate the man who came out of the slums to be Governor of New York, committee is raising money to build plaza in the center of the housing project. It will contain a fountain and a plaque to the memory of Alfred E, Smith.
 When the fund-raising commit tee wrote President and Mrs. Roose- welt, asking for a contribution, a check for Sl0 came back from war-busy Franklin Roosevelt with no letter; another check for SIC from Eleanor Roosevelt with no letter.
 From Tom Dewey came check for $50 with a beautiful letter.

The death of the Right Rever-
end Joseph Valdambrini on We'd
nesday evening of last week
brought to an end a long and col
orful career in the priesthood.
The late pastor of Our Lady of
Lourdes church in Waterbury was
never a neutral figure, even
though he gave thirty-t three years
of his priestly life to one parish
in the Hartford Diocese. Keen of
mind and decisive in action, he
was active in civic and religious
projects even until the time OF
his death. His mercurial tempera-
ment gave the impression of per-
ennial youth and it comes as
something of a surprise to his
wide circle Of friends and &C
quaintances that he fell short of
the scriptural three-score years
and ten by less than a year.
Monsignor Valdambrini was
churchman in the true sense Of the
word. Born in Rome, the center OF
the church's life, he was brought
up according to the traditions Of
his family, whose aristocratic
members had served the Papacy
for generations. In the schools of

LOCAL SCHOOLS
p HELD OBSOLETE
New LeavenwOrth High
School Building Recon-
! mended By State Group

Replacement Of several school
buildings in Waterbury has been
recommended by the State Depart
ment Of Education, according to q
report made yesterday on a state
wide survey of school property.
Judging by some Of the recommen-
dations the survey was made many
months ago. It suggested a replace
ment of the Mulcahy School within
the next ten years. The building has
been "up for sale" for sometime.
A new building for Leavenworth
High School, with the approximate
cost set a tone million dollars, is
needed Immediately, the report
states. Replacement in the near fu-
ture is necessary for Duggan. Hen
dricken, .Maloney, and Merriman
schools and the old section Of Wash
ington school, the state department
found.
The report also states that within
the next 10 years the following
buildings should be replaced: Bishop
and Bucks Hill schools, the old sec
ton of Bunker Hill school, and old
sections of East Mountain, Mulcahy,
Russell, Walsh, and Webster schools.
The program would involve an ex-
penditure of about two million dol
lars. Replacement Of the other five
schools would cost about $4,000.
The City Plan Commission is re-
ported to be making a study OF
school districts at the present time.

Rome his classmates included
many whose names are now no.
table in the annals of the church.
He himself desired to serve reli-
gion in the apostolic manner, so
he joined the missionaries of the
Sacred Heart and, after eight
years of study and preparation,
was ordained in 1899.
Soon after his ordination he
and several other priests founded
new society named after st. Jer-
ONE and intended, in the spirit OF
its patron, for the propagation OF
the Gospel. With this society he
engaged in missionary work OF
various types for a decade, until
he was called to the United States
In 1910. In this country he found
his final priestly vocation of min
istering to the religious needs OF
the large Italian community in
Waterbury. His missionary zeal
did not diminish in his new post
but rather increased as the years
went on. His effective work for
religion was recognized in 1889
when he was promoted to rank of
domestic prelate in the papal
household.
Monsignor Valdambrini was a
good friend and an able counselor
not only to his own parishioners
but to many others throughout
Waterbury and beyond. His ia
miliar and affectionately regarded
figure will be sadly missed in the
life OF the city to whose spiritual
and civic welfare he devoted half
his lifetime.
