Rapee of Radio City

Erno Rapee was the director of one of the country's most popular orchestras in one of the country's most popular places of amusement But this does not place MT. Rapee as conductor of popular mu- sic, so called. You might say he selected for the men who followed his baton, clas- sical music that was popular; and popu- lar music that was classical
 He had had a considerable career as orchestra conductor before he came to Radio City to thrill music lovers as he and his orchestra came up out of the pit and moved back into orchestral choir position.
 Born in Budapest he was musically educated in his native country, and achieved considerable success before con- ing over here. So it can be seen that his musical career was quite a notable one for his years, since he was only fiftyfive at the time of his unexpected death Tuesday.
 MT. Rapee gave art and color to his priceless performances at Radio City, one of our greatest auditoriums of entertain ment. He had taste and a musical back ground that gave his orchestral perform ances finish as well as marked degree or the unusual.

GENERAL IKE AND POLITICS
(Hartford Courant)

America is still a nation of hero- Worshippers, which is not at all a bad thing. But we are being con- sistent with our national history in now viewing General Eisenhower as a potential political candidate. Ger tainly, of all our generals ir recent history, he has displayed talents entirely apart from his military genius justifying the belief in this field he would be successful.
 It is to his further credit, there fore, that he has insisted that he wants no part of politics but desires merely to be citizen of the United States" With his fine sense of pro- portion he said, I'm soldier, and I'm positive no one thinks of me as politician"
 In adopting this attitude General Eisenhower is wise. To him have al- ready come honors greater than any that might come to him in the po- litical arena. To abandon his warrior role for that of the politician might easily dim the luster that now sur- rounds him. There is no reason for doubting General Eisenhower's sin- cerity in making his disinterest in politics so emphatic. And may he be protected from misguided friends or others who seek to force him from his rightful sphere into the politi- cal arena. There he has little to gam and great deal to lose.

Most seasons have their compensations but also something to take the joy out of life as for instance mosquitoes. Many sections of the state suffer because the pests thrive at this time of the year and not only annoy and poison folks but cause the dread malaria. New Britain, our neighbor, is united with other towns to guard against the spread of malaria
 A committee plans to check up the breed- ing places in the New Britain, Newington, Plainville and Pennington areas. A mos quito control project is something to be commended. The state abounds in small streams, lakes, pools and salt water southern border that are happy places for the insects to breed, and any section to Wpe vr stat out t1ed Re depdV osouo sui

A Thought for Today
City Court - Fair Play

Although it may have no more ere dence than a speculative rumor the much-heard-of claim that local Repuoll- can leaders may hedge on their agree rnent with the Democrats, as to dlsposl- ton of the city court positions, is dls- turbing.
 These leaders agreed many weeks ago on a court distribution Of as near 5o-oo division as possible. The agreement was reached without too much discussion or too many disputative claims by both sides.
 Democratic leaders were more than generous in view of the fact that our city courts for the past two years have been completely controlled by COP appointees No undue claims were demanded by the Democratic leaders for the coming two years session.
 It would be breach of faith on the part oe these Republican leaders should they attempt steam-rolling tactics whereby they refuse to adhere to the agreement and thus retain their present positions. This is possible because of the nomlnal regulation that both jurists must agree on the iob disbursements Should the Republicans insist on terms not agree able to the Democratic jurist and party leaders, then their incumbents would merely retain their posts after July first
 We sincerely hope, in the interests of community endeavor that the previously agreed upon terms will be adhered to- While these court jobs are acknowledged as political plums the interests of Water bury should have primary importance and consideration. Civic unity should be filSt the goal.

init separate air-forces report in other words to go along with the Army'S invasion plan.
 General Eager bowed to his superior. General Marshall. So President Truman will get no sep arate report from the air forces disagreeing with the land-army strategists.
 Many air-forces insiders are boiling mad at this. So certain Senators, particularly A. B. Chandler of Kentucky, mem- Der of the Senate Military Com mittee, plan to do some probing of the matter.
 SEVERE SHIPPING SHORTAGE
 General Arnold, who was in the Philippines at the time, was pre- vailed upon by General Mac Arthur to go along with the plan of a Land-Army invasion. How ever, Arnold recommended an all- out air assault before the invas- ion to reduce the enemy's ability to fight
 Unfortunate fact is, however, that because of the shipping shortage it will be extremely dif- ficult, if not impossible, to do both. If an all-out air assault is to be made it would be neces- sary to give the Air Force all essential shipping priorities and thus delay an invasion by troops.
 This conflict in opinion is just another indication of the unsoundness of the present Army set-up wherein Generals in the Air Forces take orders from the Chief of Staff.
 Unfortunate part Of this Invas- ion plan is that Presiden. TTu- man undoubtedly has believed. that the Air Force heartily con- CUTS in the plan which has been submitted He haS no way O. knowing the contrary.

Views Of The Press

war, the library has dauntlessly persisted in playing it's .o!e.
 There were threats that its books, banned by Hitler hate, would be seized and burned. At ore time there was danger that it's entire stock of more than 100000 volumes would be trucked away as loot for the so-called master race. Yet the library staff had the courage to carry on through the dreary four years. In winter they were with out heat and worked i'll overcoats, mufflers and gloves. Many of them had scarcely food enough to keep alive. Milter E. Lord of the Boston Public Library has called their de- votion really heroic"
 Throughout the ordeal the library served as haven for French his torians, philosopners, journalists and students. Here was one place where, amid the trampling of jack boots and the din of lying propa- ganda, truth prevailed and thought was still free. That the library stood SO valiantly meant much to our military authorities and our OWI after the German retreat last year, and it means much to the sol- diers, American and French, who

REVIEWS JAP WAR

| n 1L JEAA
 For about 25 years the air force has been hoping they would be given an opportunity to report di- rect to the President on their ver- sion of how war should be fought. This opportunity came at last when, two weeks ago, President Truman requested the air force to present their plans on how Japan could be defeated with the most economical cost in human lives.
 A military plan against Japan had been worked out under Roose- welt, but when Truman came in he thought it wise to review the whole matter. Therefore, he asked the three major services the Navy, the Army and the Army Air Forces - to present their plans on the most effective strategy for defeating Japan.
 It is no secret that the Army's plan long has called for a mass attack by land troops. OlSCuSSlOlt Ol tAlio IidS DCCh 4AAeS open. However, the air forces have believed that by stepping up the bombing of Japan, by wiping out all factories and making the entire population homeless they might be able to force surrender without mass invasion, always costly in human lives. Even if they could not force a surrender. air-force strategists have believed they could so pulverige Japan that about 100000 American lives could be saved during any later invasion.
 It was expected the Army. Navy and Army Air Forces would each report their plans direct to the White House. However, un- known to President Truman, Gen. eral Marshal, chief of staff, Weilt tc Gen. Ira Baker. who conmarcs the air forces in General Arnold's absence and asked him not to sub-

Not a single cavalry operation has been used in the entire war. On the contrary. the Russians and British are now concentrat- ing all their future war eXperi- mental ton on rocket bombs which they think eventually can reach the moon. Meanwhile, a Ger man document has come to light whereby their scientists and in- dustrialists are instructed to begin research for new war weapons.
 Yet U. s. Army chiefs are still spending money on horses and asking for peacetime cOnscrip- tion of the type France had before she fell in 1940.
 In the new Army Appropria- ton bill, the budget scaled the Army's horse allowance down to s1,24O,000 which included the cost of breeding plus the purchase of 338 new riding horses. However, the Army, maneuvering backstage, got Congressman Case of Gus ter, s. D., a city which still lives On the memory of that cavalry riding old Indian fighter, General Custer, to insert an additional Sl90,0O0 in the bill. This would purchase about 1000 new riding horses.
 In other words. it looks as if the Army was sliding right back to it's old peacetime ideas when it used to battle every year with Congressman Ross Collins of Mississippi, the man who insist ed that the Army accept an ap- propriation to buy tanks and its first flying fortress when the brass hats wanted neither.
 Quizzing Gen. John F. Preston, then Inspector General of the Army, Congressman Collins once inquired about why the taxpayers needed to spend money for hors- es at San Antonio, an aviation base. Are they for the officers, CT the women folk?" Collins asked
 For the officers, the inSpec- tor General replied.
 For airplane duty?" the con- gressman persisted.
 For airplane duty" General Preston replied sOlemnIy.
 ''They must be flying steeds," grunted the coneressman from Mississippi.
 AIR VS LAND
 On April 2 this column told how army advocates of a big land army and peacetime conscription mad got busy about three months ago and drew up plans whereby the air force you'd be reduced to the same size it was in 1936- about 18,00O men. This would make it one of the smallest air forces ,n the world, with few modern planes and little money for experimentation.
 On the same day this column was published General Hap Ar mold, by pure coincidence, sub mitted violent protest against this skeletonized air set-up. Ar mold used language which only he can use to warn that the U. S. would be in for disaster if we die not keep a big air force and allow money for developing new types of planes.
 As a result, the old-line army boys beat a hasty retreat. A new plan, increasing the air corps 800 per cent over 1886 in now proposed. It would give the air force around 100000 men. However, the brass hats still want big land army of a couple of million conscripted men.

 WHAT WILL SAVE THE TEETHa If you know and teach that brushing does not prevent decay Of the teeth, what do you recommend to preserve the teeth and prevent decay, asks my young friend Charles in letter published here.
 By now you have a pretty good idea about one of the things I recommend to preserve the teeth and prevent decay, haven't you, Charles? recommend what the inhabitants of that lonely little island in the South Atlantic use to preserve the teeth and pre- vent decay. We learned, you will re- member, Charles, from the article about Tristan da Cunha in the Mo- vember 1888, number of National Geographic Magazine, that the people there never brush their teeth, live on potatoes, some whole cereals brought from England, fish ard crayfish, sea birds and their eggs, and occasionally, say on Christmas or other festive occas- ion, some lamb or mutton = they raise sheep for the wool. Remem- Der also that when the dentist from the British war ship examined 156 of the inhabitants, ranging in age from childhood to 92 years, he found 131 of them with teeth en- tirely free from dental decay.
 Now there is a fact that far out weighs anything the school text books On hygiene or health, the hy- giene teacher, the dentist, the phy- scian, or or Doc Brady may think or say about the rite of brushing the teeth.
 It might be possible to find that many persons with perfect teeth if similar examination of several million mouths were made by dentist here in America. but re- member the people on the island of Tristan da Cunba are white people of mixed English, American. Scot tish, Dutch and Italian descent.
 Here is what I recommend, Charles, to preserve the teeth and prevent decay:
 l. Good nutrition. Daily con-
 sumption of not less than a
 quart of milk. Make milk.
 straight or favored as you
 like, your regular beverage
 when you want refreshment.
 Eat a green leafy or raw vege-
 table salad every day. Keep a
 supply Of plain wheat in the.
 house and chew a handful
 daily instead of gum.
 Take fresh fruit as appetizer
 at breakfast daily and in lieu
 of cake, pastry or sweets as
 dessert. If you can't handle
 your quart of milk daily. sub stitute milk products for part
 of the milk-any kind of cheese you like. sour milk, buttermilk, skim milk, cream, butter, cus- tard, matted milk, chocolate
 milk. ice cream. Peanuts and other nuts are excellent. 2. Good dentistry. Regular exam ination by the dentist, and im- mediate filling or treatment of any Assures in the enamel or any cavities he discoveres.
