Speaking of women (now watch your step brother) we observe the headlines that Miss Fennessey Canty of the Waterbury Teachers association more ac- tive participation in the sOcaed political activity Of the community state and nation the part of teachers For years many persons harbOred the thought that politics and school affairs completely alen That was always fairy tale. You play politics to serve as
 member of the board of education You play to get nominated and elected. When you don't play after be- ing elected you're tossed out Some of the best appoint ments in local school circles in the past 25 years have been based political contacts. And we mean pro motions within the department. It takes plenty ot political pressure to become teacher to fight and oo- tain decent scale of wages capitalized pay you please for men and women teachers burdened with the same professional responsibilities for just recognition etc. But to the poinwe wonder if Miss Canty and the local teachers derive any inspiration from one or two Tall Towers inspired by their fight for higher salaries over year ago. We wonder. if they remember the Tower in which it intmated that the only way to achieve success in the of politics is to speak the politicians language and employ the politicians methods and play for keeps In that way there is no misunderstanding, chance of being misunderstood msinterpreted misquoted. The cards always on the table or no game. We glad to note that Miss Canty also warns the teachers that they must watch Hartford and Washington for unfriendy legislation. Yes teachers keep your eye Washington, especially for your interest well that of your tlme-hon- ored profession.

WLB Scans Hike
In Paw Ceilings

WASHINGTON, June 4. CUP)-
The war labor board Monday start
ed down the road toward lifting
wartime wage ceilings.
The test case involving the highly
unionized trucking industry has
been sought by the Chicago truckers
union dnd) The union protested
the smallness of recent WLB wage
boost with a week -long strike and
the government seized the COM
panies employing the unions $500
members.
The WLB asked this union and
the teamsters (AFL to come here
Monday to rresent reasons why and
how government wage control over
the trucking industry should be re-
laxed
Present ceilings have been in
effect since August, 1914 The
teamsters represent 1000 other Chi
cago truckers affected by the re-
cent wage decision and mere than
100000 additional members through
out the country vino are cubject
to the 1914 ceilings.
The case is regarded an appro-
pirate test of the WLB's, wage poll
cies for the reconversion period The
industry is important tc the west
ward movement of war materials
for the Pacific and is also counted
upon heavily for quick service in
helping TO get peacetime production
rolling.

CAN MORE FRUIT
WITH LESS SUGAR

When Ell Centre housewives start the
necessary negotiations with OPA for can
ming sugar from now on they will find
themselves faced with the task of re-
vamping their whole program Instead
of being able to obtain fifteen pounds
for each member of the family, they must
be content with ten pounds.
How can one can more fruit with less
sugar?
How can they respond to the appeal
to prepare more home food to meet the
various shortages?
These problems may be solved. But
sugar is necessary to preserve fruits
properly. 1t would be poor economy to
put up the fruit only to have it spoil for
lack of preservatives.
While pondering these problems there
will be the slim satisfaction of saying,
Il told you So" Sugar shortages in this
country are the result of plain admins
tration blunders plus refusal to admit
such blunders.
Ever since the sugar supply in this
country was cut down because of the war,
chiefly through lack of ships to bring in
off-coast supplies, the Washington ex-
perts have kept cutting and restricting
the sugar beet acreage. The farmers
were ready and eager to meet the emer-
gency by expanding their paintings even
with manpower a serious drawback to
that task. But no. Instead, each year
acreages were held down to previous
years or cut further through the govern
ment agencies.
During all this time the slogan was
"grow more fruit, can more fruit"
There is ray of light, however, but

British Planned
Burning Oil TO
Repel Invaders

LONDON, June 4. (UP)-Britain
was ready to pump Oil into the sea
and turn the English Channel into
q vast inferno in event of a German
invasion attempt, it can be revealed
now.
When invasion became definite
possibility, huge, camouflaged oil
reserves were built hurriedly along
the south and southeast coasts.
Pipes ran from the reservoirs to
the shore and then out to sea for a
considerable distance.
Both the tanks and pipes were
enclosed in brickwork and concrete
as protection against the Luftwaffe
which was making daily Strafing at
tacks along the coast at the time
The tank towers and miles of pip
ing which mysJified south coast res
idents for five years were no longer
secret. Holiday crowds watched de-
! molition gangs removing all traces
of what probably is the last secret
OF the invasion coast areas.

CHAOS IN GERMANY UNDER
LACK OF RULING BODY

Trouble with Germans is in the MAX
ing, and rapidly Unless the Allied
powers act soon to inaugurate central
government with general authority over
he various occupied divisions things we'll
may get out of hand.
There is a large segment of the popu-
lation still determined to oppose Allied
authority and in fact boldly exploiting
the rest of the people with their Nazi
doctrine. They are, for the most part
militarists, but stubborn Nazi party
followers
Also there is strong element being
led by former members of the Gestapo
or of Gestapo inclinations, and this clique
closely is associated with the deposed
military leaders.
At present each area in the occupa-
tional program is under rules set up by
the Allied force in charge. In west Ger
many, American forces are in control.
France has the central area and Russia
the east, including Berlin.
An example of the lack of central au-
thority is an ultimatum issued to Ber-
liners by the Russian commanders that
each Nazi sabateur or arsonist or other
type of disturber, fifty Nazis will be

the Soviet authorities are reverting to the
indefensible hostage system A system
that shocked the world as applied by
Germany during the years she occupied
other nations.
Manifestly the United States can not
condone any such plan. Neither could
Britain give approval. Most certainly
France can have nothing to do with it
since thousands of Franchmen were slain
under the Nazi hostage scheme Of pun
ishment
1t is indicated that the delay in setting
up a central authority is traceable to

laps Use Cavalry
In luzon Sector

MANILA, June 4. (UPD-The 9th
division drove along the Cagayan
valley in northern Luzon Monday
against light resistance amid indi-
cations the retreating japanese
had taken to horseback.
In an advance to four miles north
OF Santa Fe on Saturday, units from
the 37th captured large quantities
of abandoned enemy equipment, in
cluding cavalry gear. This was the
first indication the japanese were
using cavalry in the Pacific island
fighting, although they have used
horses and mules for pack work in
the past.
The 37th ran into some anti-tank
fire as it advanced along the 12O-
mile long valley, but there was no
stout resistance from the japanese.
Seventy-five enemy bodies were
counted.
Mondays communique reported
| that japanese casualties in the
Philippines have reached 385, ,480.
During the past week, $3.50 dead
were counted and 503 prisoners
taken. American and Filipino cas-
ualties were 225 killed and 657
wounded
On Mindanao island, deep wedges
were driven into enemy defenses in
the hills west Of Davao city. The
air force hammered the japanese
| positions, and also harried their
escape route on the southern coast,
where four barges and a motor
] launch were sunk.
On Tarakan, off Borneo, Dutch
and Australian forces were reduc-
ing the last japanese positions on
the island. in the central hills.
Borneo itself got one of its heav-
lest blows yet when medium, heavy,
and fighter planes teamed to drop
100 tens of explosives on airstrips,
bivouac areas, and defense posi-
tions
