Let the Convention Decide

It is somewhat difficult to follow the tenuous reasoning of those groups including the CO the Connecticut Political Action Committee and the Independent Committee of Arts Sciences and Professions who have forward that It. Governor G. Wlbert Snow withdraw the test for the Democratic parys nomination for governor Mr. Snow, they suggest should yield in favor Chester BoWles, who happens to be their first choice for the nomination.
 The they say is indicative of any unfavorabe attitude toward the Lieutenant Governor their part merely subsanates their preference for Bowles Under these circumstances Mr. Snow has rghtfuly refused yield to their nportunngS clear the road for Chester
 Just why MT. Bowes' undoubted personal preference for the gubernaora nomination that for the office of should be nduged by the his party been clear His governmental experience has all been with national problems MT. Shows by contrast has been here home and has been concerned with Con- nectcu problems with which, in these fast-moving times MT. BoWes has become somewhat unfamiliar by his absence from the state Mr. Bowle these groups cam has made commendabe fight against imitation should continue that fight. Where can he continue such fight etfecvelv-n Washington Hartford? The answer obvious
 In the present instance MT. SoWes have told the CO and other groups that governor senator and they jump do his bidding It seems case of mscasng to find the CO particularly, which has made habit Of telling others what they want done, not doing what others tell them to do, thus allowing itself to be led around by the nose by political candidate
 In event, Mir. Snow has every right to seek the nomination for too, has MT. Bowes We think MT Snow would make far better governor than Bowles yet don't question Bowles right to and get the nation The state convention empowered decide be- tween the two candidates among them any others who make lasminute appearance the If there any eliminating to be done the convention should be a of the urging of before the convention eonvenes.

Views of the Press

 OPA, under former controls, failed to give a satisfactory answer fo, two reasons.
 l. A confusing and short-sighteo price policy caused meat to be with held from legitimate channels and encouraged it's diversion to the black market.
 2. Meat production was crippled by @ contradictory foreign relief policy which, through government appropriation and export of the cattle mans share of grain, result ed in a feed shortage
 It is obvious that these faults must be corrected. If the restored meat coNtrols are to succeed OPA must allow prices which will re- ward legitimate producers; with the help of the justice department it must take firm action to destroy the black market and it must enlist the aid of those who control Amer ieas foreign relief to the end that the latter policies do not hamstring our domestic economy.
 A sensible price policy accom- panied by adequate cattle feed which could be assured by this years bountiful crop-Win restore normal production. With meat, as with all controlled items, every move should be made with but one objective in mind. That is the

Dodd of Connecticut The summary is 24 pages long and is ndica tive of the carfeu aborous and digen efforts of Atty Dodd and the general staff of Prosecutor Justice Robert H. Jackson
 The principal charge brought against Hermann Goer- ing and the central defendants is boodchlling and reminding again of the ruthless regime of the Nazis. contends that the defendants and their ganzations guilty of criminal conspiracy aggressive murder slave labor racial and religious t1ons and brutal mistreatment of innocent people,.

 The penalty of crime is judged by it's reatvity; but crime crime. Though the Nazis' criminal acts of unprecedented major proportions any guilt for charged is relatively great Relatively great because we are supposed to be the champions of equality.

Today in Europe

L0NDON-The British farmer has probably never been so prosperous he is today. Nearly six years of war, during which it national necessity to increase domestic food production, brought farmer except inefficient minority extremely we'll off And many big farmers, who farm scientific lines made considerable fortunes.
 Despite this fact it would be misleading to pre- tend that British agriculture is in truly healthy condition that it's long term prospects can be viewed with undilued optimism Historically 1t long has been true that British farmers thrive war and ruined in peace British government policy since early in the 18th century has been aimed at import ing the cheapest foreign food that the large indus trial population would be able to eat at minimum cost and thus permit British industry to compete cessfuly in world markets. As result in the inter yas between wars, agriculture is neglected by the government and slides rapidly into fatal decline
 During World War H. politicians of all parties SWore that never again would they allow British agriculture to be neglected. that prosperous farm ing community essential to the Wel-being of the nation ln peace no less than in But far Britans Labor Government despite it's affection for state planning, has produced no comprehensive long term plan for the future No targets have been set no farmer can tell whether ten years from now it will be the governments policy to encourage cereal and livestock production, dairy farming and market gardening.
 Before the war, Britain used to grow 30 percent of her food requirements calculated caorie basis During the war by immense eXertions offset to some extent by manpoWer shortages, production raised sented increase of 33 13 percent in, productive capacity but the island is still long way from be- coming anything like self supporting Today Britain probably is growing about 39 percent of her total requirements.

Prefabricated Houses

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3O-(NEA)-Its going to take year before you any of these -fangled prefabricated houses actually being erected for veer To date the so-caed new era in low-cost homes" has mostly been Of photography.
 There have been pictures widely shown Of round houses aluminium houses steel horses glass houses, and what have you. Each it's designers claimed, was the answer to the nations housing shortage
 Well, the government in its ponderous way, has been busy analyzlng the claims of these designers. The results of many tests and studies gradually separating the screwbal from the practical The prising thing is that many of the designs considered most radical and screwbal at first glance proving under test to be most practical.
 The government isn't saying yet just which com panes and designers have the best chance of winning guaranteed market contracts. These contracts pledge the government to buy any houses Which It approves for large-scae construction and which the manufacturer is unable to sell But there are several firms whose prefabricated houses are withstanding the tests better than the rest.
 Announcement of the winners of these contracts is expected to be made in several months. It is peced to be next Summer before the successful com- panies can begin putting prefabs on the market.
 These prefabricated or industrial, houses consti- tute about 40 percent of 15G000O house goal of the governments Veterans Emergency Housing Program for next year. In other words close to half of the
 
 program will resemble of the pictures you have been seeing
 The Fuller House-the round one hung a mast and made of aluminum-has proved to be one of the big surprises to the government experts At first it considered the most radical idea offered Labora- tory tests showing the real conmonSense behind it's design, however, and its practicality
 On the other hand, the idea of houses made with metal panels at first considered to have the most possibilities. This idea is turning up with many bugs, though none of them said to be insurmountable.

 Some people tell me we're not going to recover They say we're headed toward inevitable disaster; that we're well on our way to the dogs and that nothing short of miracle save mankind from oblivion don't believe it. don't think the people ot the United States believe it.

 Not long ago we contacted the steel industrialsts of the East in search for sheet steel In the pro- cess we got irritated and think they did too. We wanted sheet steel to build automobiles They said they couldn't give it to We thought knew why. We didn't like the reasons But they didn't call us Anarchists and didn't call them Fascists. Maybe thought they believe din Princes of Privilege They didn't give us the sheet steel wanted We got it another way Our production is continuing on it's way without the world falling about ears.
 Trouble is only opportunity in work clothes Take an example from our own experience.

One Of the troubles discovered with metal as an interior and exterior surface is that 1t tends to sweat" on the inside during oold weather Condensa- ton forms the walls in the house due to contact between the moisture in the air and the cooler metal There known ways of getting around this trouble But it makes metal panels expensive.
 One of the most important aspects of the whole emergency program Is the benefits the public will reap from it five to 10 years hence-probably the only good which will come out of the present housing shortage The government is putting the building in dustry ahead about 30 years It trying to take the important out of prefabricaed and industrial houses before the veteran moves in
 The prefabricated houses the veterans will begin to occupy next Summer will be far from perfect But they will be many times better than they would have been if the government hadn't taken hand in the business and they will serve their purpose.
 The persons who will really benefit are those who sweat their present living quarters for five or six years The houses they should find on the market then will have most of the bugs re- moved and will be really worthwhile.
 In spite of all the progress however the experts still say that wood and brick will continue the basic building materials of the future They say that metal increasingly used for walls, will supplement them but will not take their place in the foreseeabe future
 Housing engineers regard lightweight concrete as of the most interesting materials recently de- veoped Instead of sand and gravel being mixed with the cement pulverized volcanic rock, cotton hul!s wood chips, and plastic materials have been found to be just strong and to be lighter. The weight n- volved in handling concrete construction has been one of its drawbacks.
 The experts predict, however, that the house of the future won't be that is made at the factory and shipped by truck to the lot: They say that it will be made Ol lightweight, relatively cheap mater- al durable, extremely comfortable and built for the individual taste of the owner.

 The boards decision to restore price ceilings and subsidies on meat but leaving grain uncovered has been denounced with equal heat by consumer groups and by spokesmen for the cattle and meat interests.
 The test which the boards de- cision must answer is whether on the one hand, prices can be main tained at a high enough level to encourage meat production and, on the other hand, whether adequate supplies within reasonable price limits can be secured to the con- sumer. That is a test to chcallenge

 Thanks to a 7.3 Der cent retail price boost granted by OPA. there is no longer standard sized Amer ican four-door sedan in the under $l 900 field The increase, effective immediately. meets a requirement which congress wrote into the OPA bill restoring peace-time profit mar gins of automobile dealers.
 The cheapest fuu-sized car now is listed at the factory at $l ,005. But before this gleaming and virtually ulnobtainaible vehicle is delivered such incidentals as federal excise taxes, transportation and handling and delivery charges are added to the listed price Throw in tankful of gas. license plates. seat covers. radio and heater and the $1005 car is now in the reighborhood of S1 300 in Denver
 On top of this OPA warns that still another increase under the new law will be put into effect soon. This IS estimated at an additional 5 per cent to offset restoration of dealers pre-Waf handling charges which were trimmed by OPA in its more vigorous days.
 A new car, even if one were read ily available, definitely has entered the luxury category. What America needs most, next to the proverbial good nickel cigar, is economical basic transportation-a car emibel- 1icbed with a raipjr,11Irn Of chrome but attractive enough to please Nom, a car which will get Dad to the office weekdays and the family on the highways on Sunday.
 It must be cheap-&let's say S750 and it should be sturdy enough to command a good trade-in price when exchanged for a newer model every three years. This is chal- lenge to American industry at a time when the climb in prices is out stripping the family mans earning capacity.

Perhaps humor always needs g relief of drab sobriety to show te best advantage e"-James P. Wooc in the Saturday Review of Litera- ture.
