WRITER STATES LOCAL RELATIONS OF TWO LABOR
 PARTIES GOOD
July g, 1945.

July 23, 1945. Editor Waterbury Democrat, Dear Sir:
 The public could have had no difficulty recognizing the mis-state- ments made by A. F. of L. President William Green in his speech in Massachusetts recently, in which he said, according to new story in The Democrat, that the CIO is Communist dominated, taking its orders from Russia, and is on its way out.
 Waterbury people know the CIO for the dynamic, progressive organ ization that it really is. They see 1t grow day by day, both in numbers and accomplishments. They know the CIO members and the CIO union officers as neighbors and fel- low-citizens. They know the charge of communism is pure poppycock; and they will realize that MT. Green is merely dusting of the old red batting technique favored by few A. F. of L. leaders. It has been tried many times before and it has always failed.
 Relations between the CIO and A. F. of L. in this area, which is pretty typical of all other areas, are excellent. There are, of course, ex- captions to this, but they are minor. The two labor organizations for the most part cooperate splendidly on the matters in which there is com- mon interest, and any effort com- ing from the top to split them apart into hostile camps, will not succeed. It Is a pity that MT. Green should be trying to alienate the two great bodies of labor when area leaders and the rank and file are endeavor- ing to always bring the groups closer together.
 Just by way of ending these re- marks concerning the merits of the CIO. would like to ask thls ques- ton: How many people In Water. bury would feel safe for the future

that extensive repairs will have to be made because of Jap demolition before they can regain that figure. The repairs, in turn, must wait until equipment can be fitted into the tight Pacific shipping schedule.
 Nevertheless their recovery is valuable. Fields on Tarakan Island, already retak- en by the Australians, produce oil which can be used by ships as fuel as soon as the water found with it is separated. It is thought that the Tarakan wells have been restored to about half their former output of 15,000 barrels day. So Borneo may be serving as fueling stop in the near future.
 And it is reasonable to believe that Japan has lost far more than the Allies have gained Loss of these Borneo fields has coincided with our shelling of refin- cries on their home islands. That means that two more large holes have been shot in the enemy's oil barrels, and that just that much more time has been Topped off from the life expectancy of the Jap war machine.

John A. Coe Retires

John A. Coe, ST., leading industrialist of Waterbury and New England, retlred today after sixty active years with the brass industry in the Naugatuck Valley. His years with the company, his day by day active participation, represent to the fullest extent close application to the business at hand. Mr. COe, in retiring from his active duties which he now finds arduous, will remain director ot the American Brass Company, which has maintained the dignified high standard, in great part due to well-chosen leader ship.
 MT. Goes success in the Brass industry is measured by close attention to duty; his business life has been one of uncom- mon regularity far above the ordinary; and the measure of his success and importance in the industrial world IS result of meticulous attention to business routine, from the smallest to the largest matter in point.
 The working day outlined for himself by MT. Coe has never varied. He ac- cepted and carried on the duties of his position when as young man he started to learn about the brass business Ii he was particular about small matters in his early years with this industry he continued this practice when he became an executive, and even this week as he retires from active participation he ar- rives at his offices with the same punctu- ality as the whistle blows at 8.
 MT. Coe is to be congratulated at this time on the completion of job well done. Waterbury is proud of his record and wishes him many happy years ahead, with more time, perhaps, to de- vote to his family and to his few modest pursuits, among them direction of his nearby farm where he has so enjoyed spending some of his limited spare time.
 Clark s. Judd, who succeeds MT. Coe as chairman of the board; Arthur H. Quigley, who becomes executive presi- dent, and John A. Coe, Jr, who is named executive vice president, all are men who have devoted many years to the company in various capacities. They have grown with the business. All are Connecticut born, and all have served in several of the American Brass company branches. They too, have the best wishes of the community in taking over their new duties.

Selected Poem
SUMMER STORM

(Roland English Hartley in The Christian
 Science Monitor) Suddenly the rounded clouds
 Hung all about the walls of sky, And shadows on the floor of earth Went stealthily and swiftly by. Their air of bright and brave disdain Now left the flowers: and each tree Made little whispered sounds Of dread And moved its branches anxlouSiy. There was . waiting In the air.
 A listening while far away Bands of rowing thunder prowled
 And muttered at the summer day.

France and Not Just Petain

Although the distance from Waterbury to Paris be some 5000 miles it is not difficult to imagine the tragic portrait of Marshal Henri-Philipe Petain as he listens to former associates denounce him as a Nazi collaboration who sold his country to the enemy.
 Pathetic is the most apt word to de- scribe the situation and we know, as we know the French people, that such re- action is that of the majority of France. We receive reports of demonstrations, Courtroom demonstrations apparently directed against the Marshal, but we be- lieve we are right when we wager they are effected by the radicals. The people of Franco have too much heartfelt sen- timentality to demonstrate against former hero now in his ninetieth year.
 Added to the tragic spectacle is the fact that the title of Marshal" as be- stowed by France is not a rank in the Army but dignity" bestowed only on great heroes and leaders. Undoubtedly the trial will result in indignities being heaped upon the head of the Hero of Verdun".
 We do not absolve Petain by such sen- timental reasoning. If he is proven as a collaboration then justice must be done. But by such proof there must be proven also the reasons why France was so pitt fully weak in 1940, and why 10 million of her people fled in wild flight when the Germans approached.
 Reynaud, Daladier and others are de- nouncing the Vichy leader at this time. But what was true identity and the principles of these same men who failed, certainly, during their leadership to pre- pare France for the inevitable attack? What of their flight?
 Not just Petain is on trial. The pre- war French government or governments also are on trial and for the future health oi France all traces of malignancy should be incised by this trial.

Time to Call Solomon

The intent of the antitrust laws was to assure all companies and shippers equality in rate and transport services. The railroads, in conjunction with the Interstate Commerce Commission and shippers have, through the conference method, spent years working out uni form and equitable rates and transporta- tion policies.
 Now the Department of Justice is SUI. ing the railroads, claiming that such practices constitute an infringement of the antitrust act. It can only be as7 stunned that if the Department is upheld by the courts, the railroads will be forced into wildcat competition, a condition that preceded the antitrust laws and helped bring them into being, for certain ly the Interstate Commerce Commission would have no power to authorize uni form rates through joint action if the conference method is in violation of the antitrust law.
 Therefore, the Bulwinkle bill now be- fore Congress is eminently sound. It would, by congressional act, restore all rate-making power to the ICC, thus eliminating the present confusion. Tt would seem," says the St. Paul, Mime sota, Pioneer Press, that if Congress does not have confidence in the ICC, it should either abolish or reform it.'

Dr. Fabien Sevitzky, who conducts the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, and who appears sthis week at the Lew isohn Stadium, New York City, advocates an application to musical culture in Germany in the days to come that would eschew the Wagnerian "Ring" cycle. The ailing German mind, he thinks, has been partially result of "blood and thunder" music and he especially would bar the Ring" cycle; but not, of course, "Parsifal," nor Tristan and Isolde," nor "Die Meistersinger, we hope, we hope, we hope. However, most opera lovers in this country can imbibe their Wagner cup of tea and remain undisturbed through long acts of "Gotterdammetung" and "Siegfried."

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
 Canker Sores

I am a great sufferer from can- ker sores-have had them too much of the time these past ten years. Have now been advised to try rinsing the mouth twice day with nicotinic acid 50 mg. tablets. Is this harmful or likely to do any good? c. s. D.
 Answer-Taken internally twice a day 50 mg. of niacinamide (former. ly known as nicotine acid') may give much relief and tend to pre- vent recurrence of canker sores. Preferably take a tablet containing that combined with 100 mg. ascorbic acid (vitamin O and some ribo- f1avin (vitamin O twice daily. De- ficiency of niacon, ribof1avin and ascorbi acid predisposes to cankel sores. Vincent's angina and other

DON'T I KNOW?

A reader who knows what he's talking about commented on a de- tailed reply recently given here te schoolboy whose seventh grade hygiene class wanted to know what I recommended to save the teeth.
 As for brushing the teeth, ] know of no serious objection to the practice.
 As for preserving the teeth, the scientific evidence as well as uni- versal human experience is over- whelming, it seems to me, that brushing has nothing to do with it. Still, I assure you that if you be- lieve your teeth will look better or feel better that way, it is all right to brush em as much as you like. But for health's sake don't delude yourself and don't let anybody tell you that you can can save your teeth, prevent decay, by faithfully brushing them with just the right twist of the wrist or with a parti- cular detergent, or denifrice.
 For a year or more I invited dentists to let me send them a complimentary copy of the booklet Save Your Teeth" in which give the gist of the present knowledge of dental hygiene. Ordinary people who want the booklet send twenty five cents and stamped self ad- dressed envelope for it. Only a few dozen dentists asked for a copy. The offer is now withdrawn. Dem tists are just people. For time 1t saddened and troubled me. this att tiude of the dentists. But few dentists kindly complied with my request to criticise anything in the booklet-just between friends-for the welfare of the public.
 Partly from what these dentists said, but chiefly from the most of the dentists to whom I sent the booklet did not say, have reached the conclusion that my teachings concerning preservation of the teeth are anachronistic-they should be released in 1855. In saying this I'm willing to be called snug. Con- ceited or whatever you please-only so I say it.

This means he may have to do some tough talking with his two colleagues to battle down the un- fortunate tendency on the part Of both Russia and Britain to dominate certain parts of the world that don't want to be dom- mated.
 In other words, Truman will have to re-define, if not wipe out spheres of influence.
 Last week this column described the Russian sphere of influence in the Balkans and how a com- bination of Bulgar- Russian Com munists had ridden roughshod over middle-of-the-road political leaders, even restricting the move ments of American representatives. President Truman at that time wanted to pull American officials completely out of Rumania and Bulgaria. But now, instead of retreating, he is in position where he must stand up and try to rectify some of these injustices face to face with Stalin.
 Likewise with Churchill. Though the American people have not heard as much about British 'injustices as they have Soviet operations in Poland, MT. ChurchilFs record in Britain's so- called spheres of influence is not one to be proud of.
 AYSSINIA, first victim Of ag- gression in this war, is still oc- cupied by British troops.
 GREECE, the cradle of democ- racy, is now occupied by as many British troops as by Germans one year ago. Foreign troops are foreign troops, and Greek reac- tion is that they didn't fight this war to be occupied by outsiders, no matter who they are.
 EGYPTIAN GATES
 BATTERED IN
 Strict British censorship has concealed a great deal of what has happened in the Near East. Few people outside Egypt, for instance have known about the high handed way the British battered down the gates of the royal pal ace and forced the king to ap- point a British-picked prime min- ister.
 When British Ambassador Sir Miles Lampson called on King FOuad with the ''advice" that Moustafa Nahas Pasha be made premier, the king replied that the Anglo Egyptian treaty speci- fically provided there was to be no British interference in Egyp- tian political affairs. He told the ambassador that Egypt would cooperate in every possible way toward winning the war, but would bitterly resent any dic- tations as to who should be In the Egyptian cabinet.
 The king then called a special meeting of his cabinet and all the political leaders. Unanimously even including Nahas - the man the British wanted as premier they signed a protest against po- litical interference. The protest was presented to Sir Miles at T D. m. At 8 p. m, Sir Miles asked for an immediate audience with the king, which was grant, cd.
 The audience was set for Q ?. m but at s;4S a brigade of Brl- tish troops carrying machine appeared outside the royal pal' ace. 4 couple Of British tanks battered down the gates. Ma- chine guns lined up inside the

Sistant to ex-GOvern0r Leh- man, cleared him. 0verruled the British and assigned Harakas to camps in Germany.
 Harakas, however, has not been permitted to return to the U. s., where he might talk.
 These are some of the problems President Truman faces at Pots- dam. He has already ironed out part of the Polish problem, and discussions are even under way regarding the withdrawal of the Red Army from Poland. But there has been absolutely no intimation as yet that the British were go- ing to withdraw their 73,000 troops from Greece-an Army which the Greeks don't want, and which we do want in the Pacific to share the burden of heavy American loses.
