The Miracle of Aviation

Postwar aviation, it is claimed, will turn this strife-torn globe into one world and, by making travel quick and easy, unite the formerly inSular ana suspicious citizens of various countries by the bond of common interests. But the most per Suasive claim we've yet seen for aviation as an agent of world brotherhood orig mated right in Washington.
 There the Congressional Flying Club of 91 air-minded legislators is reported to be on the verge of inviting Secretary of Commerce Henry Wallace to become its only non-congreSiSonal member.
 It seems only yesterday that a great many congressman were saying some rather unflattering things about MT. Wal lace. They were not inviting him to join anything unless, by implication, the un- employed.
 If MT. Wallace's simple announcement that he intended to take flying lessons could work this sudden transformation on Capitol Hill, we're ready to believe that aviation can do anything.

Keeping Within Bounds

Some time ago the Brookings Institu- ton began polling group of prominent Americans to secure their definitions of that flexible phrase, "un-Amerlcan actlv- ity." Now the Institution has com pleted a digest of those definitions and presented it to the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
 The definitions may be imperfect or in- complete. But we hope that the House committee will give them careful study and, if they don't like them, make up a list of their own The important thing is that the committee should at long last define and limit the scope of it's activities.
 Under Martin Dies's chairmanship, the Committee on Un-American Activities conducted some wild-swinging and occas- ionally ridiculous witch hunts. The present membership can do much to erase the less proud pages of the committees record by focusing it's activities within reasonable and sensible bounds.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-04-09

Announcement that local police would start checking up the brakes of cars in- volved in accidents can bring back only one memory of the good old state testing lanes, mute testimony of which may still be observed along ThomaSton Avenue. Nothing was subjected to so much crltl- cism as this activity of the State Motor Vehicle Department. And yet nothing caused the average motorist to expend little time and thought on his car than these same testing lanes and the peri odic examinations. Occasionally now the State Police conduct their own tests along the highways, but these consist for the most part of check-ups to see if your regis tration and driving license are in order. Seldom are brakes checked, although lights may be ordered switched on or off. Mechanical check-ups for cars are well worthwhile, whether compulsory or VOL untary.

is considered that the corporation Is constantly improving models. ProgeSs never ceases. New Engines faster and more powerful are being developed. During the past year, we are told, twelve models of five types were dropped. and twelve models of three new types were substituted for them. This feat involves con- tinuous engineering, plant adpust- ment problems and changeovers in tools. All of this adds up to Ameri- can superiority in the air, a vital necessity in modernized warfare. This production record from every angle is a tribute to the ability of management and the skill of labor and to the patriotic devotion of both to the national interest. No matter what the corporations bal- ance sheet may show regarding earnings, surplus, taxes, dividends or reserves, it is this constant mov- ing forward in the field of aeron- outical engineering that counts. It has paid and will continue to pay dividends in the skies over Europe and the Pacific.

 There are many occurrences in life which we cannot understand, and we waste our time trying to understand them. Some will never be explained on tins side of the grave. It seems that some of our defeats and disappointmcnts have bene entirely unmerited, and mary have grown bitter over what they regarded as Gods injustice because of these things.
 But behind the impenetrable veal stands the Almighty. How can He err? What motive would He have for perpetrating injustice upon us? Is 1t not more reasonable to sup- pose that these things which we cannot understand have a pur- pose. and that this purpose k con-

Everyone is garden n-minded right now because the weather's just right. Springs in the air; flowers and trees are showing signs of life You're ambitious to grow your own vegetables and flowers. Well, if your April and May ambitions will only last through June, July, and August, you should harvest good crops. This business of making and keeping up garden isn't just puttering job; it's real task. To grow good vegetables and flowers you nourish tiny seeds or seedlings; you cod dle them; you baby them. That means work; work means results.

 GENERAL SIMON
 BOLIVAR BUCKNER
 Times have changed, and so has the attitude of the Buckner family toward unconditional sur render. Lieut.. Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner today is doing a great job in leading our new Tenth Army in Okinawa in its drive to fore unconditional surrender up- on Japan.
 General Buckner is the son oi Lieut.. Gen. Simon Bolivar Buck ner of the Confederate States of America, who was the first to be forced to yield to the "uncOndi. tional surrender" demands of U. s. Grant. In February, 1862, General Buckner sent note to Grant suggesting an armistice for the purpose of discussing the terms upon which he would Sur- render Fort Donellson, Tennes- see, then under seige. Buckner and Grant had been classmates at West Point, and Buckner once loaned Grant money to get home on vacation but despite this, Grant replied, "NO terms except an unconditional and immediate surrender can be accepted
 Furious, Buckner replied to his former claSSmate:
 "Sir: The distribution of the forces under my command, in- cident to an unexpected change of commanders, and the Oyer- whelming force under your command, compel me, nOtwith- standing the brilliant success of the Confederate Arms yes- terday, to accept the ungener- ous and unchivalrOus terms which you propose"
 The unconditional surrender was consummated.
 After the Civil war, General Buckner continued to serve in the United States Army. Today hlS son hopes to be among the first to impose unconditional surren- der on the enemy in the Pacific.

and now he is away at an undis- closed place again.
 During one important part of his time, the trip to Yalta, the President was giving his time exclusively to foreign affairs. And also he keeps in touch with things by courier and cable. However. it is impossible for him to watch everything, and the snubbed in vitation to General de Gaulle, E a case in point.
 State Department career dip- lomats, by inference blame the President for this serious blum der in our vitally important relations with France. They in- fer that they were merely car- rying out orders from F. D. R. to invite de Gaulle to come to AL giers-French territOry-which was like de Gaulle inviting Roosevelt to be de Gaulle's guest in Puerto Rico.
 SECRECY AT YALTA
 But strong State Department would have saved the President from this error. Sumner Wells, as Under-Secretary, never hesi- tated to stand up for what he thought was the right policy. If he saw the President getting of on tangent he battled 1t out, He had known FDR since he served as page at the Roosevelt wedding and he wasn't afraid to say what he fought. Unfortunately, Ed Stettinius and the new State Department aids have no experience in standing up to the President and probably arc afraid to. They were hired on the basis that if they didn't be- have they'd be fired and they owe everything to him.
 It Is generally known for instance, that Stettinius did not approve the three-v0te deal at Yalta, and that he also favored open publicity on this and other things. In the end, when the clean light of publicity was focused on the three-vOte deal, the American position was cor rected. But Stettinius either wasn't strong enough or didn't have courage enough to put across his views with the Presi- dent in the first place. If so, it might have saved . lot of headaches.
