The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-04-06

State Chairman John McGuire of Wallingford seemed to enjoy the Jackson Day Dinner festivities from his vantage post well to one side Of the banquet table, Time was when the chairman of the Demo- cratic Party in Connecticut would dominate such a gathering, Former Labor Commissioner Joseph Tone was present, but 1t was surprising how little huzzing there was in cor- riders and rooms about state tic- ket prospects. Maybe absence of Chester Howles, who spent busy day with congressional committees in Washington, kept the pitch down @ bit. The good and respected Dr. Wilbur L. Gross continues to at- tract as much attention and receive as many congratulations as in his hey-day in Connecticut politics. Lieut.. .-Gov. Wilbert Snow is an energetic person in both speech and action. He had spoken, departed, and returned in what seemed like the twinkling Of an eye.

Republican party workers are starting to make themselves felt at the monthly sessions for mak- ing new voters. Education Conn missioner Michael Stolh was evi- dent at both the March and Feb ruary sessions, while former State Senator Frank Summa was about during the session this past week, as was also former Democratic Alderman Martin Sullivan. Dem- Ocratlc Town Chairman Maurice F. Tangney has cautioned his Town Committee members about earnest efforts this year and warnings of pending primary bat ties aren't going to be discounted in either Democratic or Republi- can circles. Right now Democrats are concentrating their efforts on determining what percentage of the stay-away vote of l945 might be counted as strictly Democratic.

REACTION GRIPS GEORGIA

ATLANTA, Ga. 49, GINS - A
period of reaction that will last
for eight to twelve years was
predicted for the state of
Georgia by Gov. Ellis Arnall
who will be succeeded by white
supremacy exponent Eugene
Talmadge January IA.
Arnall made his prediction at
a press conference last week,
and at the same time he held
out the hope that the forces of
liberalism will follow reaction
in his state.
The Supreme Court refused
to consider an action that
might have resulted in the Tai
madge election being set aside.
Arnall asserted that the only
way to beat the unit system
was to win an election under it.

League Passes On

The League of Nations upon which
so many nations looked as the instru-
ment of permanent peace following
World War I is now no more than re-
port.
Its few remaining functions are to
be taken over by the United Nations
Organization.
Its failure is easily traced, primarily
to the United States refusal to become
a member and secondarily to it's made
quate power to enforce it's decision.
In his final report, the secretary
general, Sean Lester, declares that it
was not the League that failed but the
statesmen and nations that failed to
use it.
This is pertinent comment. It de.
mands the closest study and attention
Even though the League lacked the
teeth to enforce its DEGREES, there is nc
doubt that complete cooperation among
member nations and true fellowship
among the statesmen who dominated
it's activities would have gone far to-
ward preventing World War II, despite
the withdrawal of Germany and japan
from membership.
1t is imperative that the situation
be understood because of what lies
ahead. AS Mr.. Lester says, in his re-
port: "A start is again made, with a
new name, new covenant. but
the problems remain the same, the OBJ
jects are unchanged and methods can
not greatly differ"
Unless the UNO learns the lessons
taught by the Leagues of Nations, il
cannot hope for greater success or long.

LaGuardia Steps Up

Mayors of New York have filled
various offices upon their retirement
to private life, but it is to be questioned
if any faced quite so rosy future fl
nancially as Fiorello H. LaGuardia
whose income is expected to be $780,
900 year, now that he is free agent
untrammeled even by the few conven-
lions he observed as chief executive of
the metropolis.
AS radio broadcaster, newspaper
columnist and photographer, he is
stepping directly into big money.
But we are puzzled to what he will
do if a fire alarm sounds while he is
broadcasting or debating column.
It has been his habit for years to
attend as many fires as he learned of
before they were extinguished. No
matter what he was doing at the City
Hall, no matter how Importantly en-
gagged, he is reputed to have reached
for his hat, called for his car and sped
to the fire. Now, if he hears an alarm in
the midst of an impassioned sentence,
will he kick over the Mike, or his ste
nographer, and be on his way before a
door can be locked against him?

Swift Justice

Of course the Western Allies meth
cd of trying Germans charged with
war crimes is the best possible. Every
step has legal authorization and when
history gets around to dealing with the
trials nothing will be found that did
not stem from Blackstone, or Moses,
or other equally famous law-giver.
But it is interesting to note in brief
dispatch from London that the Moscow
radio had announced the execution by
hanging of Lieutenant Generals Fried
rich D. Bernhard and Adolf Hamann
and Corporal Martin Lemler four hours
after military tribunal had convicted
them as German war criminals.
The Russians saved lot of time
and it is even possible they were well
within the law in every phase Of the
trials.

Mere Coincidence

Announcement that the Metropoli-
tan Opera Company has restored Of
fenbach's lies Contes d. Hoffman,
to it's repertory and that it will be sung
on Saturday afternoon is interesting
not because of any outstanding merit
of the opera but because when Often
bach toured the United States, John
Philip Sousa was scraping violin in
his orchestra with the sole thought Of
seeing something of the country and
no idea of the direction his musical
talent would take in later years.
It was not until Sousa was playing
fourth trombone in the Marine Band
that his creative ability became ap-
parent, nor until he quit this band to
organize his own for the Chicago World
Fair that the march king really came
into his own.

Needless Deaths

Rightly, Americans hold a high
opinion Of their nation. Many are con.
fident that the troubles of today, chief
of which are strikes and the threat of
initiation, will have become history be-
fore the year just started ends.
Maybe they are over-optimistic. Con-
ditions that have been so long in prep
aratlon probably will require more
than years time to resolve But, with
al, the nation is outstanding for hav-
ing risen so quickly to position of
world leadership.
But the United States, unfortunate
ly, will never rise to its full power and
strength and leadership until people
place a higher value upon their own
lives and the lives of fellow-countrv-
men.
Here we usher in 1916, the year up-
on which we depend to lead US to new
achievements, with the needless sacri-
flee of four hundred persons, 319 of
them killed in traffic accidents. There
is nothing exceptional in this. For
years, as often as holidays arrive, news
papers have recorded deaths by violence
which are irreconcilable with our ma
tional intelligence.
Highway deaths are not only cruelty
tragic. They are foolish. Not one in ten
but could be avoided if drivers exercised
at the wheel the same caution and
courtesy they practice in other activi-
ties.
This does not ease the grief of be-
reaved families today. But it needs say
ing in the hope that some careless holi-
day-maker will give up recklessness in
driving and so ensure his own safety
and the safety Of his passengers, but
of other motorists approaching or over
taking his car.

HEALTH AND THE POLITICIANS

Maybe Washington bureaus are immune to

Conduct OfAmerican Troops In Japan
Has Been Exemplary, MacArthurStates

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2ARAGen-
eral Douglas Macarthur reported
tonight that the conduct of U. S.
troops in Japan ''has been exem-

may be decisive factor in shap-
ing the future" of that country.
If democracy cannot yet be i'm
posed directly, it is at least being

The report, released by the War
Department, covered in detail the
first two months of the occupation
September and October. It made
no reference to current matters or
to relations with Allied powers.
1t said that positive steps have
been taken to lay the groundwork

Polt1cal activity IS hampered

on the paramount problems of food,
clothing and shelter" the report
continued. even if the essentials
of life were adequate in Japan, it
would be unrealistic to expect
spontaneous and widespread par
ticipation of the people in politics.
They would willingly punish the
policy-makers and bureaucrats for
losing the war, and that is about
all.

PROPER USES
OF EXERCISE

Does exercise keep us healthy Nv

evidence for the idea that eyer.
else prolongs life; its main effects
are an increase in muscular de,
velopment and sense Of well.be.
ing.
Muscular exertion stimulates the
body functions. The heart rate is
increased, breathing is deeper and
more rapid, heat production and
perspiration are increased, appe.
tite is whipped up and fatigue is
relieved by sound sleep. It also is
a good growth stimulus in child
hood.
There is no one perfect form Of
exercise. When we are young any
type can be enjoyed to the limit
of our endurance providing we
have normal heart; as we grow
older we should limit our exercise
to that kind and amount which will
not strain the heart.
The body has over 200 muscles
arranged in parts. Their job i,
to protect vital structures, main
tain balance and posture and
move the body. To perform sue
cessfully, muscles must be in bal
ance and posses good tone; when
the muscle on one side of the body
contracts, the one on the oppo-
site side must relax.
After muscle has not been
used for some time the fibers be-
come smaller; such a muscle
tires, and, if used excessively, it
will become sore and this will
delay recovery. An arm or leg
a certain time becomes smaller
which has been kept in a cast for
because of shrinking Of the muscle
fibers.
If exercise and recreation are
combined, nervous tension and
mental fatigue are relieved. The
result Of muscle exercise should
be an increase in energy and not
excessive fatigue.
A brisk walk in the open air is
good form Of exercise for
healthy person. Good muscular
condition can be maintained by
taking daily walk of about three
miles.
Muscular movements that are
used over and over make an i'm
print upon the body's form and
function. Many people never have
learned to use their muscles prop
erly. They attempt to substitute
one muscle for the other, so that
clumsy, awkward movement re-
suits. This may happen after an
injury or illness, and 1t is prob
lem in retaining patients whose
nerves or muscles have been af-
fected by infantile paralysis.

COMMITTEE ASKED
FOR NEW MOTION

RALEIGH, Jan. 2-tR-The exc
cutive committee of the trustees of
Greater University of North Caro-
lima has been asked to re-phrase a
resolution requesting the Council
of State to approve the sale of the
dairy farm and cattle of the Wo.
mans College of the University OF
North Carolina at Greensboro.
Assistant Attorney General
Hughes j. Rhodes said the original
resolution called for the money de.
rived from the sale, estimated at
in excess Of 100000, to be used
in establishing fund similar to the
Kenan fund at the University of
North Carolina in Chapel Hill.
This fund would be used to augment
the salaries OF faculty members
of the Womans College.
State Treasurer Charles M. john
son explained that the proceeds
could not be ear-marked for such
a purpose but must revert to the
university building fund.
Therefore, when the proposition
was brought before the Council
of State, the Council refused to sign
the deed until resolution from
the executive committee was re-
worded to omit mention OF the dis
position of the money. The trustees
are expected to consider the matter
at meeting later this month.
According to information avail
able here, the property was SUBJ
divided and sold at public auction.

THE ATOM AND CALL POWER
In the arsenal of God there are

ton. He who destroyed Sodom and
Gomorrah still has means for pun
ishing rebellious mankind. The
wrath Of God is as truly an at
tribute as His mercy.
From the bewildering crash OF
the atomic bomb we hear reiter-
ated the awesome truth spoken by
the living Christ, "Au Power is
given unto Me-" There are no
limits to the awesome ability of
God to carry out His will.
This is a day wherein all Of us
should be bordering the majestic
might Of our Maker. His ultimate
purpose, revealed in His nature, is
love but it is love conditioned by
justice.
OF late years the idea of Divine
wrath has largely gone out of
public thinking. Germany and ia
pan-and, incidentally, all the rest
of the world-are present evidence
that justice has not departed from
the universe.

indeed only the faithful servant
Matty and the impetuous Sir Rich,

But you see enough to realize
that all the stock ingredients of
swashbuckling fiction are utilized
And they are utilized with con-

knows how to weave a plot; she
uses bright colors, never loses a
thread, produces a stylish fabric.

skillful at drawing a line between

It's timeless work of fiction; you
may read it at any time you
please, or at no time at all; it has
nothing to do with our time; it
would hardly bear reading a Sec
