Would Benefit, Too

The action of Wolcott residents in pro- teSing bill in the Legislature which would allow one community to condemn land in an adjacent one for airport pur- poses Is understandable, People who have held property through several generations are naturally reluctant to give 1t up, even for such purpose as a great airport that would without doubt be an asset to the town Itself.
 We do think that Wolcott and Water bury officials might we'll get together on this subject of an airport so that there would be no misunderstanding all around Waterbury isn't anxious Co deprive land- owners of their ancestral homes, but 1T it ever was necessary to make use of land now being dwelt upon, certainly there would be every effort to recom- pense the owner. Apparently there IS no recompenSe for what might be regard cd as uSurpation.
 Condemnation of land by any govern mental agency is usually the last re- course, although of recent years 1t haS been adopted on many occasions where the agency did not want to bother with more routine negotiations or where the agency's need was so imperative and of such an emergency nature as to require the unusual steps. It may be that the courts ultimately will have to decide on the importance of the Waterbury airport, which actually will be serving greater area than just that occupied by this city. It may be that for various reasons this city will not care to invade the domains of property owners where there seems to be opposition for other than monetary reasons,

A Free Press-Not Theory But
 Practice

One of the best pieces of news to come out of the Chapultepec Conference has to do with the very subject of news. It appears that the Pan-American foreign ministers gathered there are at last con- vinced that international cooperation and peace are the peoples business, and that the press, as the peoples representa- lives and observers, have a right to know what goes on.
 And so the Chapultepec Conference has become, according to newsmen on the spot, a shining example of press freedom in action. All accredited reporters re- ceive copy of each resolution approved for presentation to the conference, and are kept informed of the resolutions progress and disposition.
 NewSmen are permitted to attend almost all sessions of the various con- missions. They even get summaries Of the proceedings at the few secret sessions which must of necessity be held.
 All this is in welcome contrast to the snug and senseless goings-on at the Hot Springs food conference in l943, when armed guards kept reporters from even getting close to the scene of the meetings. It is a decided improvement over Dum- barton Oaks, where solemn secrecy nat urally gave birth to widespread suspicion and rumor.
 Apparently the intelligent treatment of the press at Chapultepec is result of tho resolution on press freedom which Secretary of State Stettnius presented to the conference. This reflects an ad- mirable change of heart for MT. Stet- tinius who, as Under Secretary, defended the need of secrecy at Dumbarton Oaks with obvious conviction, but without the logic which supports his present stand.
 It has long been demonstrated that one of the first and most powerful tools of despotism was an embargo on the free access to truth The Allied govern ments have recognized and condemned shis evil as a source of power to Hitler, Mussolini and the Japanese war lords, and one cause of this war
 But at the same time the Allied govern ments on occasion have placed an unrea- sonabe embargo of silence on matters Of highest public importance Now step has been taken to end this anomalous slt- uation If Mir. Stettinus by his precept and the Chapultepec Conference by It's example have delt blow to unnecessary secrecy and political censorship, then the meeting in Mexico City will have aug mented it's other accomplishments by rich and unexpected dividend.

Irrelevant and Immaterial

We sec where the Senate Agricultural Committee summoned Aubrey Williams boyhood pastor and Sunday School teacher to testify as to his qualifications as Rural Identification Administrator.
 They received the pertinent informa- ton that MT. Williams was headed for the ministry in his youth and subsequently,, as the minister put 1t, denied the divinity of Christ"
 The ncursion of such a private and extraneouS detail as Mir. Williams relig- ious beliefs seems to us not only irrele- want to the inquiry at hand, but also tasteless and downright dangerous If this precedent should be established, a mans fitness for public office might well be determined by the combined tech niques of the 1nquisiton and the prac- tices of Puritan New England and the GeStapo

senators have to squeeze ip somehow, making over 800 mem bers of the two Houses on hand for joint sessions.
 During these joint sessions, the House reserves its first three rows for senators, the overflow of House members stands 0: sits in temporary chairs in the rear.

No Diversion Wanted

Tn his weekly radio talk Governor Ray mond E. Baldwin discussed the expendl- ture of funds for highway purposes. Back in the hey-day of the motor car there was usually a biennial demand for diversion of funds from this source of income to some other state need. However, the Solons resisted all such efforts and few were the raids made on the highway funds. Today the funds aren't so vulner- able For one thing the departments income has been considerably decreased; for another other forms of revenue have proved adequate to take care of most of the expenditures.
 Gov. Baldwin did mention, though, that there was possibility of increasing the preesnt state gasoline tax one cent This has been talked about for number of years. Now the thought is to start the increased taxation at the end of the war, when there would be an unprece- dented demand for highway expansion It is possible that extraordinary means of financing the highway budget will be necessary at that time. We are aware of tremendous backlog of projects be- ing piled up for the postwar days. But we must know what other means of as- sessment for the motorist are being planned and what disposition of the funds so raised will be made.
 There is apt to be increasing demand after the war for great pathways, north and south, linking with the cross-state routes. Already indication is given that there might be a request that these be toll routes. This is a further form of taxa tion for the motorist, but more equit- able one than the gas tax, for it places the burden of paying for these parkways directly on the shoulders of those who get the most benefit from them. Inequit- able is the gas tax, because most of 1t will derive from the large cities where motor ists will be using city streets, built and maintained by the municipality without, for the most part, any state aid.
 Increased gasoline taxes in Connecti- cut should only be accompanied by some method of apportioning funds among the

PRUNING TIME
(NeW York Times)

On a sunny late-winter day, when a gentle wind brings the first quick ening whisper of spring. it's time to get out the ladder. the saw and the hand clippers and start pruning the apple trees. There's something sat- isfying about the work. For one thing, 1t isn't rush job. At this time of year a farmer can work along leisurely. All too soon 1t will be sugaring season. and good sap weather means humping day and night. Apple orchards. of course, hsould be 0 na side hill. If man sets his ladder on the low side. he can look up to the sugar grove and the granite-ledged hill above. Working on the up side. there's a view of the fields and meadows in the valley and the blue-green moun- tains in the distance beyond the river.
 Pruning a Baldwin. Northern Spy or Mcintosh requires both Judgment and skill. A man has to study his tree. It's very easy to remove limb that's been growing for years. But too many limbs mean dense foliage. lack of sunlight and poorly cOlored apples. The countryman is proud of his weli-shaped. widely branching trees. Pruning wisely takes a lot Of unhurried studying It's crafts mans job-with flush cuts and the removal of the right suckers and side branches.
 But pruning apple trees on a pre- spring day is more than saving and clipping. It's a chance to see the countryside before 1t is unlocked It gives Q man opportunity to study patterns in bark and to discover where the flickers had their nests. The smoke spirals up from farm chimneys and drifts away in gray black vanishing streams. A man can hear a dog bark from across the valley. and a COW rumbles melan- choly can from the farm down the road. Late in the afternoon, when the brush has been piled the clean prlined trees are etched against the sky. As farmer tramps down tc

Supposedly dear to the hearts of Re- publicans was the bill introduced in the Legislature this year, affecting change in the method of voting in this state. The party lever would have been elim- mated from all machines, while on paper ballots no person could cast straight party vote. The purpose was to make every voter register individual preference for each and every candidate seeking public office. That would have been quite a chore, but it would have served the purpose of the Republicans who want, more than anything else, to let Democrats cash in on the value of vote getter like President Franklin D. Roose- welt. That was really the crux of this proposal. If people could be made to vote for individuals they might not sweep entire tickets into office. The Republi- can House, however, has put this pill down at the foot of the calendar, which makes it just about as dead as a door, nail

All Concord trembled with the roar of the flood waters of the Concord River this week. The Massachusetts city, famous in song and story and poem of the Revo- lutionary War, feared for the safety Of the famous bridge-"the rude bridge that arched the flood" and where was fired the shot heard round the world. Flood waters of the Concord River have been threatening the bridge, which is not the original one where the minutemen made their famous stand, but concrete re- placement. Still the sentiment is there and Concord didn't want to see this bridge go with the flood waters. Latest reports indicate the bridge is saved

NOT FLOOD PROOF
(NeW Britain Herald)

From the report of the flood con- trol engineers, New England Is not yet floor proof. The men who have put up flood control works cost ing B millions since 1886 are not certain about anything. They arc not even certain there won't be a flood this year. They merely hope not. but the chances are rather even, depending altogether upon how soon or how fast nature melts the enormous amount of snow littering ing New Englaid's good mother earth.
 So 1t all depends and what have we in Central Connecticut? The Connecticut river is well diked at Hartford and East Hartford and the belief is that there is nothing to fear if worst comes: but the rest of the river hereabouts is about like 1t was in 1886: and the narrows at Middletown are sure to cause the customary flood backlog.-if there is any high water.
