Dependable Time

:, Statements as to plans for the war in the Pacific recently made by Gen. George C.. Marshall, Army Chief of Staff, to a Congressional committee may have been read with mixed emotions. But there could have been nothing mixed in the agreement with his outline of strategy to win the final victory at the lowest pos sible blood cost.
 His reference to "a swift powerful of. fenSive" to hasten reduction in the size of the Army livery soon" may have been interpreted by some wishful thinkers as his expectation of an early end to the war. Others may have been depressed by his estimate that 2,7OO,OOO tons of bombs will be dropped on Japan "next year." Those to whom every moment of prolongation of war is an agony of anxiety are apt to regard another year of bombing as an infinity of waiting.
 Even so, no one conceivably could want to shorten the bombing of Japan by as much as minute if the ultimate result will be the saving of American lives. And, that such preparations will save lives when invasion day comes has been proved elsewhere beyond the possibility of ques- ton. So, if the bombing takes one, two or five years, or longer, there must be no impatience The pay-off will be the American fighting men who come home from the Softened invasion beachheads

Adverse criticism of government agen- cies is popular parlor-game amongst the majority, but today's formal closing of the War Production Training Center in Waterbury brings to an end one of the most formative of these agencies.
 This Center was organized in 1922 for purpose of training what is termed "green" or inexperienced industrial work CTS. Since that time over 5000 war workers passed through the school and into our city's factories, where they have so aptly shouldered the home-front pro- duction phase of this war.
 The Center, a federal administrated agency, will cease actual existence today. Yet it's fundamental goals of helping to assure production victory will live on through the medium of the city's full measured war goods productivity.
 Great credit should be extended to Ed ward J. Stepeck it's original organizer and supervisor, and to James Calvin who succeeded the former. A good job well done!

The suggestion to change the name East River Drive in New York City and substitute Franklin D. Roosevelt Drive is a good one. It would be suitable ges- ture to name so long and important Park way of major proportions for one of our country's most outstanding figures. Also the Roosevelt family are particularly as- sociated with greater New York from .ar- Hest times to the present day. Some votes were against the naming as it was thought more suitable memorial might be chosen. However, a Parkway that covers great amount of territory and serves SO many people seems to us to ex- press part of the great American way of life at this time. Roads and avenues and pathways have dignity that seems to measure up to the dignity of such name as Roosevelt

The Last of the Libertys

This month, the magazine Ships re- minds us, the last two Liberty ships will be completed and launched. Perhaps the occasion will not cause much commo- tion, for the story of the Libertys has been told repeatedly. Yet the end of this chapter of their history should not pass unnoticed. From September, 1941, Amer ican shipyards built 269O Libertys and sent them off to war. For long and dangerous time destruction exceeded construction. But gradually the com bination of improved air and submarine defense, improved construction methods and the unflagging labors of the men and women who built the ships reversed the picture.
 8 The Libertys were slow and old-fash- toned, but they had their points. They could be built quickly. Production was Standardized to the smallest part. Liber- ty shipbuliders could work in any Lib erty yard. Liberty sailors could man any
 tbextH fhip. The IibertYs carried cargo

Colonel La Forge

Exceptional ability in his profession tempered by quiet dignity marked the course of life of the late Colonel Freder- ick w. LaForge of Waterbury, whose death last week brought to close car eer in the Engineering profession which had been an inspiration to many.
 For thirty-four years Colonel LaForge engaged in his practice as civil engineer for the U. s. Government which led to his departing from Waterbury, Although a mans activities and personality are said to be frozen by distance" Colonel LaForge in all those years and subse- quent ones left his impress upon Water bury as he brought honor to the city and state by his distinguished career.
 Born ir Waterbury he attended second ary schools here and graduated from the Sheffield Scientific School of Yale in 1882. During his years as an engineer for the Government he was chosen to supervise construction of many of the nations forts, gun emplacements and other Notifications. Upon retiring from government service in 1883 he took resi- dence in New London where he was a member of the City Planning Commis- sion and the Ocean Beach Park board.
 In 1914 he was honored at the 60th anniversary testimonial dinner in Hart ford, of the Connecticut Society of Civil Engineers of which he was an honorary member At the time his brother mem bers acknowledged their debt to him for his personal exertions during the So- cietV's formative years and for his life long, ardent support of it's activities"

 On the surface, at least, it would now seem that the Association had adopted practically all the regula- tions embodied in legislation intro- duced at the last session of the General Assembly, to whhci vigor- ous opposition was made. It may be wondered, therefore, why so much pressure was brought to bear on legislators to kill this measure when, at the same time, the growers were in sympathy with the terms of the bill.
 However, if the provisions of the new voluntary agreement are ob- served by the growers. something that has not been entirely true in the past, most Connecticut citizens will be heartily thankful. The fact that this new agreement has been made between the growers and the Farm Labor Department of the Ex-' tension Service, University of Con- necticut, which recruits only out of-state labor for the farms, also raises the question of whether these new regulations will apply to Con- necticut children as well.
 It is unthinkable that there should be two sets of standards; but in fairness to the Association judg- ment should be suspended until. with the passage of time, it Is pos-. sible to evaluate the effect of these voluntarily imposed reforms for which 50 many have wished so long.

The Home Front Comes Through

Americans are few who would attempt to classify their investments in War Bonds under the heading of sacrifice" Doubtless innumerable such purchases have represented serious temporary ln- convenience to buyers. But most Amer jeans look upon War Bond buying both as one of the best investment opportun- ities ever offered, and as simple and unacceptable duty to perform. Rare are those who would cite their War Bonds as proof of individual patriotism. The rec ord of the American people in six war Loan drives, which they have maintained in the now-closing Seventh Drive, does offer it's evidence that the Home Front has been conscious-and has acted on the consciousness it's responsibility. It is evidence that those who could con- tribute nothing more than dollars to the fight have for the most part, made full use of the ammunition available to them.
 Actually, the nations record in the seven War Loan drives has been one to estound. Quotas in those drives totaled 102 billion dollars-an incomprehensible sum. The tabulation of returns on the Seventh Drive still are incomplete. But on the basis of latest reports, more than 85,000,000 Americans are shown to have invested more than 1855 billion dollars. The record shows that, not only have to- tai quotas in each drive been surpassed, but individual goals set for various types of bonds also have been exceeded. The record goes still further to show that in- dividual states and communities which have failed to perform their assigned portions of the whole job have been the rare exceptions This, of course, is an- other way of saying that Americans everywhere, and of every economic brack- ct, have made the achievement possible.
 As remarked, individuals aren't claim ing medals because of the War Bonds they have bought. They know they aren't en- titled to any. They expect no praise for having done that which would have shamed them, had they failed to do. But the fact remains that the American rec ord on War Bond drives represents the most astounding financial achievement of it's kind in history. It is evidence that, whatever else most Americans may or may not be doing in behalf of victory, they are not making slackers of their dollars.

Press Comment
NOT A CANDIDATE
(Hartford TmeS)

General Eisenhower leaves no room for doubt in anyone's mind that he has no political aspirations, What he said in Abilene is definite, positive, unmiStakable. Not in any circumstances would he accept nom- ination for office, nor, if he were to follow Shermans refusal of political honors. would he serve if he were to be elected.
 Admirable as General Eisenhower might be in high political office, he is more so as the great soldier who led the Allied Armies to victory in the war against the Nazi-Fascist foes in Europe. His victory there is supreme will stand for all time. The General does well to spurn even tentative proffers of po- Itical honorS.
 The statement repudiating politi- cal ambition was made necessary by the suggestion in certain newspa- pers and by commentators that the General might be desirable can- didate for the presidency. No one was too sure of his political prefer ences, but the assumption seemed to be that he might become the Republican candidate in 1948, for the Democrats hae their candidate President Truman.
 One must hope that there will be no further irresponsible chatter about Eisenhower and the presiden- cy. The General himself asks that 1t end. His wish should be re- spected.

The Park Department of the city has seen to it that all park property is now properly clipped and planted and culti- vated Not only are the larger parks all looking fit and Towering but the various "parklets" scattered about the city with their suitable plantings look flourishing. The rains have kept them fresh looking and cool weather as well as hot is in their favor. The clock on the green has it's usual necklace of summer plants. In general the horticultural picture as pre- sented in the parks is pleasureable to the eye.

 As a result of Evatt's uncom- promising battle for liberal post war United Nations policy, he has succeeded in lifting Australia from a silent membership in the family of nations to place along side the Big Five of the world.
