THE tomb OF the Unknown Soldier is our ma
Il tional memorial to our American dead Of World
War |.
1t is time now to consider memorial as beau
tiful and as inspiring to our nearly 100000 dead in
the war recently ended.
The white marble tomb of the Unknown Sol
der stands shouetted above the trees in our Ma
tional Cemetery at Arlington, Va, bearing the
simple inscription Here Rests in Honored Glory
an American Soldier Known But to God"
None but God knew the identity, the race, the
religion of this soldier brought home from France
a quarter century ago to "reSt in honored glory"
"a symbol of all who gave their lives for our
country. AS he became symbol so did his tomb
become shrine and there over the years America
has paid tribute and the families of our hero dead
have found consolation in prayer.
A NEW memorial is in order and it is appro-
"A pirate to bring home for similar tribute two
of our unidentified dead of World War II-one
from the Pacific war and one from the Atlantic
theater. For these were in reality two wars, each
more terrible than any in history and one fought
beyond the span of the other
We believe the men who fought on these two
battlefronts and the families of the men who died
on these battlefronts will wish this distinction
made
1t would also seem appropriate to erect the
tomb of the unknown warriors rather than an
other tomb of the Unknown Soldier. In this way
all branches of our armed services will be SYM
bolized For our dead of these latest conflicts,
sleeping now in the far lands and the alien seas,
were members of all branches-army, navy ma
rines coast guard and the air corps of each serv-
'ice-warriorS all.

City Workers
Get Raise,
Jeffriies Says
By JAMES INGLIS

Pay adjustments for all city ems
ployes to compensate for a short
ened work week will be announced
next Monday, Mayor Jeffries an
nounced today.
Although the mayor refused to
state just how much of an increase
would be offered, city hall observ-
ers predicted it would be in the
neighborhood of Is per cent.
The mayors announcement was
made to committee of the Michi.
gan Public Employees Council
(AFL), who appeared at his office
this morning to find out what he
lplanned to do in the way of pay
raises when the five-day week is
returned to city departments. The
change is expected to be made
before the first of the year.
II think everybody Is going to
be substantially taken care Of"
Mayor Jeffries told An thony
Tashnick, head of the union dele
cation. THE figures and exact
percentage of the increase will
be available next Monday"
SEPARATE ELECTIONS
The mayor also told the delega-
ton. which supported him for re-
election, that he was agreeable to
its request that elections to deter
mine bargaining agents be held
separately in each city depart
ment. The union, which won in
each department, would then be
declared bargaining agent for that
division.
The CIO had requested that a
general election be held in all city
departments and that the overall
w n n e r be declared bargaining
agent for all city employees.
To cover the pay increases,
Mayor Jeffries is expected soon to
renew his demand for enactment
of municipal income tax.
The city is already crowding
the legal limit to which real es-
tate taxes can be raised.
SS,575,0OO NEEDED
According to budget bureau es-
Inmates, the city will have to dig
up &,575. 900 to cover the neces-
sary raises to maintain take
home pay between Jan. and the
end of the fiscal year.
But the common council will
also undoubtedly want to do
something for firemen. policemen
and school board employees who
are not affected by the return
10 the five-day week.
The budget bureau estimates
that a % per cent raise would
maintain take home pay for en-
ployes who go from the six TO
a five-day week.

A Thought for Today
Weep No More, Ladies

From all indicative reports now con- ing to us from occupied Germany anu Italy it would seem that the dlctators and their evil satellites were utter 1all- ures domestically, as well as In matterS of government and war.
 The recent United Press report pub lished exclusively in The Democrat thlS week describing the naturalization by Mussolini's widow of her memoirs con corning the late Il Duce is just another sorry addition to those reports already published about Goering's wife and Himmler's widow and Edda Mussolini and her deceased husband, Count Ciano.
 Il Duce's widow presented a pititul spectacle in her attempts to ratlonallze many of the actions of her late huSDand, all of which indicated how desperately she clingS to the ShredS of the Loyalty that must have been hers in the cary years of their marriage. His blatant public consortings with other women stlll must be an open wound in her heart.
 Mrs. Goering now seeks to divorce Fat Hermann claiming their marriage really was to please Hitler, statement which we are inclined to view as significant or the inability of the obese former Nazl Marshall to secure wife on his own me ritS. Perhaps he should have tried the lovelorn columns of Herr Goebbel's con- trolled newspapers.
 Mrs Himmler, whose husband took to the "hemlock" rather than face lnterna- tional justice, now remains "calm" aOouC his death according to latest reports Un- doubtedly his departure from this world is matter of relief to her as well as to the oppressed millions of Europe. Edda (MuSsolini) Ciano has already, in diary form, presented the most garbled defense of her late husband and her father, who ordered her husbands execution, that we have read in some time. That she was willing to part with these memoirs to the tune of a reputed $75,000 displays little decent or respectful reticence following as it does so closely upon their deaths.
 No, there seems to be little weeping and bereavement among the ladies of the die tatorships. Perhaps they are too realis- tically aware of the fact that they "knew them when.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-07-14
The Presidential Tenure

The indicated" intent of the House Judiciary Committee to take up the whole question of Presidential tenure meaning the proposal to limit President to two terms - hints of the possibility that this controversial question may be brought to a showdown at last. It does not guarantee showdown. Rep. Hat ton w. Summers of Texas, committee chairman, merely has indicated" the question probably" will be discussed by his group after the summer congreSsion- al recess. So the outcome of renewed discussions of subject which has been debated since George Washington de- clined third term is highly problen1at- ic. Opposition to the proposal probably never has been more outspoken than now. Before Franklin D. Roosevelt be- came President, many observers regard ed such legislation as unnecessary. The opinion was widespread that precedent was sufficient to preserve the tWo-term tradition Consequently, interest ln- clined to be passive when legislation was suggested to place legal limit on Pres idential tenure. Many people doubtless thought the precedent couldn't be brok- en.
 But it has been broken. It need not be surprising if future White House oc- cupantS strive for as many terms as they can win. Some, if not all, are likely to hang on to their jobs as long as they can. Whether it is good or bad that President might serve more than two terms admittedly is matter of personal opinion. The argument that the Amer ican people should be the best judges of how long President should continue in office has appealing features. If people think the national interest would be bet ter served by retention of the chief ex- ecutive, what could be undemocratic about that?
 Perhaps nothing. On the other hand, there can be no escaping the fact that any party in power has opportunity to build up powerful political machine. In theory, the longer in office, the more powerful becomes the resulting machine. Conceivably, one of such power could be built as to make mockery of democratic processes. Such things have happened In other nations of very recent memory. It would be absurd to deny the possibility that they might happen in the United States. Whether the possibility is sui ficiently strong to call for the enactment of protective legislation is another of those matters of personal opinion. But, regardless of present opinions, it is diffi- cult to see how discussion of the ques-

Self-Help or None at All

There was nothing particularly sur prising in a dispatch from 8 village in American occupied Germany few days ago. It related that residents of the place were making little or no effort to help themselves. They seemed to take it for granted that Americans would at- tend to such matters as the rebuilding of homes, planting of crops and provision of coal for next winter.
 We do not pretend to know whether this attitude is typical of American-oc cupied Germany But everyone of ex- perience knows the habit of, "Let George do it, is easy to form. Unless sternly discouraged, the Germans almost cer- tainly will form the habit of expecting Uncle Sam to do everything that needs to be done for them.
 So it is part of the job of the occupa ton forces to do as has been done, ac- cording to the news dispatch, in the par ticular German village. The report said the villagers are being told, in effect, that Uncle Sam will be inclined to help only those who help themselves. The villag CTS are being given blunt warning that the bed they are to occupy in the future will be as they make it for themselves. Similar advice to the whole of American occupied Germany would not be amiss and it is safe bet that it is the kind of advice that all such Germans are receiv- inp

The Farmer Does It Again

If there is any farm problem which might stump the American farmer com pletely we, for one, won't undertake to say what it might be. Time and again, especially during the world emergency, he has faced "insoluble" problems. He has been called upon repeatedly to do things that, by all rules of logic, simply couldn't be done. Confronted with labor and manpower shortages unparalleled, he has been asked to produce as farmers never have produced before. Yet he has done just that-a statement that applies to American farmers everywhere.
 Thus, only because farmers have done the impossible so often before, it be- comes less astonishing that the nations wheat growers have refused to be licked by problems resulting from the biggest crop and the worst shortages of storage and transportation facilities in history. In one way or another, he is managing to hold to miraculously low levels the wheat losses that could easily have reached disaster proportions.
 We don't pretend to know how he has done it-just as we don't know how he has done the impossible" so often in the past But it might be simply that the word "impossible'' doesn't appear in the dictionary the American farmer uses.

when his colleagues, Malcolm Tarver of Dalton, Ga. and John Rankin of Tupelo, Miss, tangled in lengthy argument over the way Rankin had doctored the Congressional Record to make Tarver's part in a debate with Rankin look foolish. Traver made a motion to alter the Record by inserting the original stenograph- ic transcript of the argument be- tween himself and Rankin, rather than Ranklin's amended version. When the Ayes were called, Cox sheepishly rose and started to vote for his Georgia colleague, Traver. But he saw Rankin staring at him, and sat down. When the Nays were called, Cox sheepishly rose, saw Tarver look ing in his direction, and sat down. So he didn't vote at all.

If it is pleasure to ride through rural localities now, it should be even more enjoyable in days to come when old, di- lapidated and rundown farms are spruced up; fences mended, woodlands cleared, dead wood removed and neat gardens planted again, as well as new trees to take place of those demolished by hurricanes of major and minor force and bad winter storms Many farms that were slightly twenty-five years ago are today unrecognizable through neg lect and dissuse; overgrowth completely changing the former appearance.

The back-to- o-the-farm movement is gaining momentum. After the war we venture to say land will be pretty well bought up. Then the important thing is to work the land and get your living from it. Perhaps by then the regula- tions on prices, the handling of produce, and the working of the initialed groups will be such that farmers won't have to throw away produce by the bushels, and dairymen won't have to dump milk and cream by the gallon.

THE SIN OF SELF-NEGLECT
Bridgeport Post)


 There is a tiny rock of an island off the New England coast which serves no other purpose than as station of beacon light. The handful of inhabitants who live around the light could not ex- ist, were it not for supplies brought regularly from the mainland.
 Some years ago 8 particularly hard winter kept the supply ship in her harbor for many 8 day. The situation on the island became so desperate that the likht keeper finally shared some of his precious oil with his neighbors, lest they starve or freeze.
 The night finally came when the beacon ceased to bum, for want of oil.
 And that was the night the sup ply ship foundered on the rock!
 Whether this is a true story or only 8 good story, we do not know. But believe it or not, we can well believe what the story is about. Conserve your oil, be your lamp ever so tiny in this windswept world. Husband your resources.
 It is vitally necessary that people be something to others, as well as do something for them. Too many exhaust their oil That is. Squander precious strength and resources be- yond the reasonable margin of safe- ty.
 And this against a day when they themselves, and those depending on them will need light and guidance.
 Said Shakespeare truly.-'SeH- love, my liege, is not so vile a sin by half as self-neglecting."
