Politics
 -h- Passing

Efforts to provide primary opposi- tion for Mayor John s. Monagan and his administration from recalci- trant Democratic forces haven't pro- huced anything substantial as yet. Sporadic efforts have been made and are still being made to provide opposition for the administration forces when primary time rolls around. Ordinarily Democrats and Republicans wouldn't get around to naming their local candidates un- til the end of September, leaving October for general campaign pur- poses. With the absentee ballot privileges for the coming municipal election extended to both men in the service, the sick and infirm, as well as able-bodied civilians who will be out of the city on election day, it's more than likely that nom- nations will be well in advance of election day to allow such ball. lots to travel back and forth. But the uch-heralded Monagan oppo- sition ticket is as yet without foun- dation. In fact you can get bets today that it won't materialize when the fateful day for filing tickets ar- rives.

There have been all sorts of rumors about disgruntled city em- ployes organizing to vent their feelings on pensions. The police and fire departments are said to be irate at the change in their pension benefits. But this was not an administration move and it was done with both the depart ments in question being granted their day in court. However that may be, the situation hasn't as yet worked itself up into one requiring administration forces to overhaul its election machinery. The administration organization, so-caHed, is usually ready for al- most anything that can happen. Along in the spring Chairman Maurice Tangney will have a meeting or two to keep in touch with his district leaders. An- other in the early summer conn., pletes the check-up, so that when action is called for he knows when and where to begin.

Evidently the taste of the recent
 legislative session won't be washed away for some time to come. There are still repercussions. Certainly not the least was the occupancy this week of the office of the Statute Revision Commissioner by two per- sons-John Bailey, Democrat, and Elmer Ryan, Republican. MT. Bailey was the incumbent with his term expiring on July l. MT. Ryan was the nominee of the governor for an interim term. But MT. Bailey stated that he felt under law invoked once before that the governors s nominee couldn't qualify for the of- flee and that he had legal right to 1t. As yet he has not instituted ,s-by wl1aA warrant" proceedings against the GOPer, for the simple reason that he has refused to give up occupancy of the office. In the case of the Motor Vehicle Com missioner, John T. Mccarthy retired gracefully from the scene to prefer his charges.

Recent news stories to the ef- feet that Democratic State Chair man Adrian Maher may get the post of U. S. Attorney when it is vacated next autumn by the in- culnbent, Atty. Robert Butler, re- call the stirring incidents leading up tO his election to the office formerly held by J. Francis Smith of this city. MT. Maher's election actually climaxed an all-out fight to control the state party which began the year that Bob" Hurley first won the Democratic nemina- ton for governor. In 1942, how ever, shortly after his defeat for the governorship MT. Hurley made . determined bid for national committeeman and won, despite the efforts of the late Senator Francis T. Maloney and MT. Smith to prevent him taking the offlce. Judge Charles E. Mahoney was the Maloney- Smith candidate for state chairman at that time and "Dick" Smith for national committeeman. And with the rumor of State Chairman Maher moving up, it's also said that Judge Mahoney may again be In Che running.

If there is one thing the people ef the City of Waterbury can be thankful for it's the fact that of- ! lzciaIs had the gumption a few years back to insist on having . ] new pipeline built from Water J bury's water resources in the Morris hills. If anyone wants to 4 know the real story on this sub ject he or she ought to consult the records of the Water Depart ment. Water consumption during the last two or three years has multiplied rapidly here in Water hnry. If 1t were not for the fact Inst the second pipeline made such use of the water possible fhe great manufacturing feats of which the city may boast in the years to come wouldn't have been achieved. And the funny part of 1t zE federal authorities regarded the Fitch Reservoir as more im- portant tO the war effort than the pipeline.

via other routes.
Besides ball-bearings and GER
tain machinery, products of high
grade steel from well-known Swe-
dish manufacturers such as Sand
vixen, Uddeholm, Fagersta an d
others formed an important part
of these silent exports. The I'd

difficulties of this traffic in a re-
cent interesting article in its house

The German occupation of Den
mark and Norway gave rise to
the first serious difficulties. The
shipments to the United States
had to be directed over Petsamo
on the Arctic coast of Finland
which meant a 400-mile truck
transport through the wilderness
of Lapland northward. AS time
went on, the Petsamo route also
was threatened by the Germans,
and one of the ships was captured
and taken to Trondheim. T h e
Germans released it after month,
and the ship was captured by
the British and sent to the Ork-

and early in 1871 the ship could
start for American ports from
Iceland, where it had been re-
paired after a stormy passage
from the Orkneys.

The Swedish People
Life-Insured for 1000
Million Kronor

STOCKHOLM.-(By AirmaiD-
During the year 1914, life insurance
policies to a value of $4,000, 900
kronor (S166,5 OO,O0O) were taken
out in Sweden, according to a
recent report published in the
Stockholm press. This figure ex-
ceeds the former peak reached in
1943 by 46,OOO,OOO kr. The number
of new insurance policies was 261,-
900.
During the war years the in
crease has been especially marked,
partly as a result of the ample
supply of money and the restricted
purchasing possibilities owing to
the shortage of goods. In all, the
Swedish people are insured to a
total value of 7,11S,O00, kr.

Vladivostok it was sent to Kobe

The war between Germany and
Russia cut off this way of CON-
munication also; the last ship
ment by this route was dispatched
in June, 1941.
The transportation time between
Sweden and the USA over Rus
STA took between months and q
year. Many of the shipments were
sent from Russia via Persia to the
United States. Some of them were
believed to have been lost, but
at the end of 1912 all except one
of the shipments had arrived il

boxes went astray in Persian har-

Despite the Nazi invasion of
democratic Denmark the liberal
traditions of democracy and edu-
cation established by Nikolai
Grundtvig in the famous Folk
High Schools of Denmark cannot
be easily uprooted. This noted
founder of the Danish educational
technique which has been widely
copied in the United States has
left an indelible imprint on the
democratic consciousness of his
people which the Nazi military
government cannot erase. For
this and many other reasons, AM
orleans are deeply interested in
the preservation of Danish indie
pendence.
Nikolai Grundtvig, Danish DEM
ocrat, educator, poet, statesman
and divine. was borns on Septem-
Der 8, 1885. In his long life Of
ninety years he was leader in
the Danish democratic movement
of the last century. He, stood for
the abolition of compulsory con-
scription, the abolition of all prop
erty franchise, and for the right
Of every farmer to obtain suffi-
cient land to enable him and his
family to live on it in a free and
independent way. He expressed
his philosophy as favoring a poll
teal democracy where few have
too much, and fewer too little"
Born in the beautiful region Of
Southern Zealand he was influ-

which he frequently mentioned in
his work. A basic principle of
his educational theory was the re-

War Prisoners Due
AT Fairfax Camp Today

Two hundred German war prison.
ers who will be used as laborers on
Fairfax County farms are expected
to arrive today at a prisoner of war
camp just west of Fairfax. Mean
while, opponents of the camp are
preparing to appeal a ruling of the
County Zoning Board to the Board
of Supervisors on Wednesday.
L. S. Greene, county agent, said the
Germans will be used Immediately
for farm work and pulp wood opera
tions. Later, he said, as harvest sea-
son approaches, they will probably
be used exclusively on farms.
Mr.. Green said the prisoners will
be available to farmers in groups of
from 2 to 10. Farmers using the
prisoner of war labor will be billed
at the rate of 40 cents an hour by
the county agricultural co-opera-
tive, which contracted with the
Army for the prisoners.
Mr.. Greene said Army officials
have indicated that as soon as the
camp has been fully established an
open house may be held, when
county residents will be taken on
conducted tours of the establish
ment. The open house, however, has
not definitely been decided on by the
Army.
The Fairfax County prisoners, un-
der the Sd Service Command, were
to be brought from a distributing
camp at Front ROYAL.

Around the corner, reclining

problem is doubly serious, for one of
her children is a diabetic. Although
the ration board allows extra points
that the child may have q high
meat diet-they are valueless in
bartering for meat that isn't there.
During the three-hour wait, ell
derly women, many OF whom shop
for large working families, get
weary of standing. Young moth
ers get tired and exasperated with
fractious small fry. They discuss
the possibility of putting benches
in-they try to figure out new
