School Vandals

New York school officials are quite con- cerned over the many acts of vandalism committed by youngsters in and around the various school buildings of the city. A recent outrage consisted in deliberate acts of destruction in one of the school
 buildings with damage estimated at from $2,OOO to $5,0O0. Three Swear old boys are held responsible for breaking into the building and then going on rampage breaking desks, hacking piano, ink spilled over walls and floors, etc.
 It's paradoxcal that youngsters who are taught the fundamentals of citizen ship, conduct, and now to get along with their fellows so often resort to this type ot expresSionism Fortunately here in Wa terbury we've never had situations quite like those that crop up in New York or other large cities Our complaints about youngsters and school buildings usually cover breakage of window panes. That k1a@ is a sizeable item in the school bud get $1,OO0 being set up specifically for this purpose in 1945.
 Parents of course, have to assume the responsibility for all such outbreaks of juvenile delinquency. And oddly enough it's the parents who really pay the Dlll, for every taxpayer shares in the cost ot keeping school buildings in state of repair. It's to the advantage of every father and mother, teacher and counselor or anyone coming in contact with grow ing youngsters to change the child's at- titude towards school and what the schoolhouse may represent to him. It's easier to do that in city the size of Wa terbury, but it's task that should never be overlooked.

 BURROUGHS FOR SOLDIERS
 Chief of staff General Mar shall told the Senate Military Ai- fairs Committee during closed door session last week that he has resisted heavy pressure from his own staff and other Admin istration leaders to expand the size of the Army beyond the T. 100000 now authorized by law. The pressure was especially strong he said, during the German Bulge Drive" last December.
 Instead of increasing the size of his Armies, Marshall said, he has concentrated on trying to C1- feet better utilization of his men in all branches of the service. The present Army size, he said, is the minimum with which he could operate, and remarked that he had been "pauperized" regard ing the nlanpower now being drafted.
 In discussing the question Of fur loughS for troops now overseas, Marshall said it was recently de- cided to give furloughs to l2,0O0 men in the South Pacific. Get ting men to the fighting theaters and back is pipeline" opera tion, he said. and explained that in order to grant home furloughs to the 12,000 vets in the South Pacific he needed total of 72,- 900 troops ot replace them.
 Marshall stressed the impor- tance to the Army of keeping mch with front-line experience in the front lines. Their experience, whether in battle or battle-sup- porting work, makes them in- valuable in comparison with men fresh from home. The Chief Of Staff did not discuss the charges against the Army that fresh troops are being sent out with m- sufficient training.

 One new and perhaps most significant development is that most German farmers now flat ly refuse to ship food to the cities. This is particularly reminiscent of what happened in the fall of 1918. Farmers have no faith Ill the German money, give up what goods they are forced to only at the point of gun.

 Well, shades of our purple past! Our British cousins are up to 1t again
 Sir Nicholas Cayzer, retiring chair man of the Liverpool Steamship Owners Association, thinks the bulk of the shipping constructed in the United States during the war should be scrapped with the coming Of peace.
 Says Sir Nicholas:
 Tt has bee ma magnificent effort and one on which the entire for tunes of the war depended, but 1t inevitably involves a serious peace time problem"
 So lightly does this good knight dismiss the miracle that made ship building Americas second largest industry, with production of 1861 large merchant vessels (ships Of more than 2,OOO gross tons) in 1943, and ,463 in 1944.
 We will, of course, be under all sorts of pressure after this war, as we were after World War I, to be sporting about our merchant mar inc and give good old Britain and all the other nations a chance.
 We succumbed to that kind of soft soap before. We ought never to dc 1t again. :. We seem destined, If we aren't dunces, to become the greatest trad ing nation I1 the world.

 Considerable criticism was di- rected at Roosevelt for his re- mark that he had learned more about the Moslems and the Jews in five minutes with 1bn Saud than he could have learned in a dozen letters.
 Congressman Emanuel Celler, New York Democrat and staunch Roosevelt supporter, was one ol the most vehement critics of the President at the New York meet ing.
 "Thcre were one million Jews in and around my district m New York who voted for RoOse- welt unanimously" Congressman CelIer said. Their vote made the difference between his vic- tory or defeat.
 "The Jews," he continued, ''dO not propose to stand Tor this sort of thmg. Roosevelt is going to have to learn that he can't fool all she Jews all of the the time."
 Senator Ed Johnson, Colorado Democrat, but usually 8 Roose- welt hater, was also speaker at the meeting and gleefully joined in the criticism. Referring to the statement that Roosevelt had learned so much about the Palestinian question from the King of Saudi Arabia in five min utes, Senator Johnson said:
 Ut is very strang how the President could have learned anything about the Jewish ques- ton from Ibn Saud. Ibn Saud had never before been outside his kingdom, and there is not a single Jew inside his king dOm."
 ARMS FOR ARABS?
 Senator Brewster, Maine Re- publican, another speaker, criti- cized the present Churchill Roosevelt policy which prevents further migration of Jews to Palestine.
 It is extraordinary" he said, "that you have Jewish national home to which the Jews cannot gO.'
 Then Brewster dropped a bomb- shell. He reported a Washing ton rumor that Ibn Saud had asked for an American Military Mission to train an Arab army and that the President had agreed to send fifty to sixty American officers to Arabia as a Military Mission.
 NOTE: Not all Jews favor the policy of 8 Jewish homeland 1n Palestine. The Presidents chief motive in conferring with Ibn Saud is understood to have been Arabian oil, for which American firms have important concessions Also the President may have want ed to counterbalance Russian in- fluence in the Moslem World.

SOUND JUSTICE
(Hartford Times)


 The Supreme CourS has ordered that a Waterbury policeman, con- victed of murder, be given an op- portunity to present to it, at the expense of the State, his appeal from the death sentence imposed. It is unusual that the State should finance the appeal of sentenced person. However. the Supreme Court took the position that a per- son convicted of murder and sen- tenced to death should always have the opportunity to appeal to the court of last resort, and if he IS without funds public policy requires that the expense should be borne by the State.

And it is generally better to take such food i've or SIX times a day instead of taking Just the customary three meals a day.
 Egg, cooked as you like, is, be- lieve, second only to milk in the diet for one with Yankee stomach. Egg cooked as you prefer is more readily digestible and more com- pletely digested than raw egg. How ever, if you prefer taking raw egg it is nearly as good for hypera- cidity and for general nutrition as it would be cooked.
 Next most essential and agree able food in such cases is lean meat, and then comes whole wheat. Send stamped envelope bearing your address, for pamphlet wheat to Eat" which suggests how to use wheat in the everyday diet.
 How to neutralize excessive acid | ity when hunger pain, heartburn, sour quotations, bloating or gas becomes distressing is what every one with Yankee stomach wants to know.
 One of the most satisfactory and least objectionable remedies TOT these common manifestations or hyperacidity is prepared chalk, ten | grains more or less at any time | the distress calls for relief. Or bet ter still, a combination of prepared chalk (calcium carbonate) with magnesium trisilicate in the pro- portion of, say, 2 or parts chalk to 1 part trisilicate, and this should be taken in the form of 8 SOIL cmooth disc which is not disagree able to chew-cheWing 1t Is pre- ferable to swallowing it whole.
 So far I have said nothing here about the psychosomatic factor of gastric hyperacidity or the lately papular idea that emotional or nervous tension may account for most of the symptoms of gastric. peptic or duodenal ulcer. But, heck, there are ponderous scientific per- iodicals, monographs and tones dealing with that-I reckon had better not talk about it today
 There is one cause of hyperacid- ity which sufferers should not over look when seeking relief and that is smoking. In this column on va rious occasions in the past twenty years I have described the smok- CTS duodenal ulcer complex - state in which 1t is difficult for tho physician to determine whether the symptoms are wholly due to smok- ing or perhaps due to ulcer.

 And beach grass wrangled like inland sea; Moored safely in the shelter of their piers, Small boats rode out the storms intensity But evening brought sudden calm, the rush Of waters yielded and from nowhere came Galleons of cloud that slowly took the flush Of sunset in a golden blaze of flame:
 And in that eerie, momentary Hull

with that decision. There is, of course, great distinction between person sentenced to pay fine or serve a term behind bars and one who is about to lose his life. If not law, at least common decen- cy, would suggest that a mere lack of money should not deprive a condemned man of every opportun ity to have his case given the ul- innate consideration which the law provides for the man who has funds.
 The Supreme Court would have laid itself open to adverse criticism had 1t decided this case other than 1t did. It cannot be criticized un- favorably for its decision.

PROTECTION FOR LABOR UNIONS

The two cases taken together have an obvious postwar signific- ance in view of the tremendous pos- abilities of pre-fabricated housing development. If the HutcheSon case decision is given a broad interpre' tation, prosecution of labor unionJ for monopolistic practices. in re- straint of trade will be impossible. Under this interpretation, anything a union does in its own self-interest it within the antitrust laws.
 But if the Hutcheson opinion is given a restricted interpretation, protecting the unions from anti trust law prosecution only in the case of jurisdictional dispute be- tween two unions, then the way will be opened to take action in cases such as those outlined above in New York and San Francisco, where the isue is an agreement made not between two unions, but between a union and a party of the second part which is not union.

conspiracy to restrain interstate commerce under the Sherman Act. Rather quietly, however, two cases have come up through the lower courts, one in New York City and one in San Francisco, which may challenge this broad interpretation and limit it's application.
 The San Francisco case grows out of union agreement made be- tween the A. F. of L., United Bro- threhood of Carpenters and Joiners and the building contractors and lumber mills in the San Francisco Bay area, in which it was stipulated that mill Work-the making of doors, windows, mantels and such trim would be boycotted if made under wage scales lower than those in effect in the Bay area contract.
 Before this agreement was put into effect, 30 per cent of all the mill work used in the Bay area had been made by lumber mills ir Washington and Oregon and ship. ped into San Francisco pre-fabri. cated. Pay scales in the northwest were lower than in San Francisco. and northwestern mill work wa therefore cheaper.
 After the contract went into ef' feet, only 10 per cent of the mill work was done in the northwest, the other 90 per cent having to be done under the higher wage mills in the Bay area.
 A. F. OF l.. VS CIO.
 Indirectly this was in the nature of juriSdictsonal dispute because the northwestern mill workers be-. longed to CIO unions, and by put. ting restrictions on the San Fran cisco mill production, the A. F. of L. union was getting at its rivals. But the whole affair was a good ex- ample of union make-work policies, and U. S. attorneys, taking action against this practice as a conspir- acy to restrain competition from other areas, won conviction which was upheld in the U. S. Court of Appeals. Counsel for the Carpenters then appealed the case to the Sup reme Court.
 The New York case grows out of a contract between A. F. of L. elec- trical workers and contractors, under which the electricians in New York City will not install equipment that has been wired outside the city. If switchboard made in Schen- ectady, for instance, should be ship ped to New York City for installa- tion already wired. the New York City unions will install it only after they have ripped out the original wiring put in by other A. F. of L electricians upstate and re-Wireo the thing themselves. Again, a beautiful example of union make work policy if there ever was one In this case an injunction was granted against enforcement of g union boycott on work done outside the city, but the injunction was up set in Court of Appeals, giving labor a victory. Government filed the ap. peal to the Supreme Court in thi i,ctanrn
