than the Attorney General. They are a lot smarter than he thinks, or maybe we should say, hopes. We and they agree that the election laws should be changed. We also know that they should be changed in ways different from those the Attorney General has in mind. We and all intelligent and wide-awake independent voters know that our election laws are largely designed to bolster the two major political machines and to put obstacles in the way of any encroachments upon their political domains by groups who wish to oppose their monopolis- tic domination. When two such groups with different organizations and different party names see so closely eye-to-eye on these matters that they can put in the field to fight the party machines, candi- dates nominated jointly by a com- mittee of both parties and ratified by unanimous vote of caucases of both parties, then indeed do they strike fear into the inner councils of the old machine parties, who realize too late that they are losing touch with the people and begin to have their henchmen attack us as the Attorney General did in his uncalled-for statement.
 One further word about reform of the election laws, which you suggest is in order. We agree, but instead of less democracy which you seem to want, we, and the voters, think there should be more. We think there should be direct primaries as has been stated again and again in the Socialist state platforms and fought for again and gain by Socialists in the legislature. We think that when a third major party emerges in State politics, it is ridiculous for it to have to petition it's candidates onto the voting ma chimes simply because 1t did not have candidates for certain offices in the previous election. And the people, who are a lot less easily confused than MT. Hadden would like them to be, agree with us."

Political Lenders Here AssaiL Atty. General On Comments

Respective chairmen of the Wa terbury Taxpayers Good Govern ment Party and the Waterbury So- cialist Party today issued, a joint statement bitterly assailing the wording of the recent ruling of Atty. General William L. Hadden relative to nominating petitions of both parties.
 Atty. General Hadden had ruled that while the petitions were valid certain features of the parties makeup bordered closely on a status of illegality. The parties are jointly supporting the same candi- dates.
 The statement, released to The Democrat today by Anthony R. Martino, chairman of the Taxpay- CTS group and Samuel Wolozin. chairman of the Socialist Party, in- directly refers to Governor Ray mond E. Baldwin (R) as a party dictator" who, in 1888, "availed himself of some 5000 odd Union rdIGy votes Wnlch were added to his Republican votes"
 You should remember in Octo- Der as well as in November, MT. Hadden, that MT Baldwin himself IS no stranger to being a candidate on two different tickets, the state ment continues. Atty. Gen. Hadden, himself, seeks renomination on the COP. State ticket this year.
 The statement also charges that Atty Gen. Hadden's wording con- talned in his ruling constitutes a campaign statement by a Republi- can machine candidate for re-elec- t1on" and further charges that the local parties side of the matter was never fully argued before him. {"
 The remainder of the statement. Tn part, is as follows:

 The negligent homicide charge arose after the death on Aug. 26 of James Moriarty 2, also known as James True, POS Meriden Road, fol- lowing an automobile accident two days previously. Mortarty had been driving . motor scooter which was struck by a light delivery truck operated by Paulo. The accident occurred at the corner of Wolcott and Stillson roads.
 Ofiicer Nathan Spadaro, who made the arrest, testified that his inquiry showed that Moriarty had signalled he was making a left hand turn from Wolcott Road to Stillson Road. Paulo, also making a left turn, followed the scooter Officer Spadaro told Prosecuting Attorney Frederick W. Palomba that the right front side of the truck struck the left side of the scooter, causing the scooter to swerve to the right of the road and knocking Moriarty to the ground.

 He added that the War Depart ment is withholding much of the information ito protect the man who told me this story"
 This story may throw light on Stalin'S recent statement that Amer ica will not long have a monopoly on atomic weapons" Shell wrote. Possibly it helps explain the stand taken by Henry A. Wallace"
 Shell said his source, whom he identified by the pseudonym Capt. Tsetusuo Wakabayashi, knew that he was speaking for publication when he talked to him. The inter- view took place in a former Shinto shrine on mountain overlooking Seoul.

in detail to the court the action of both drivers immediately before the accident and the scene afterwards.
 Paulo took the stand in his own defense, stating that the scooter struck the side of his vehicle as he was passing 1t on the turn. Origin ally arrested on a charge of reck- less driving, Paulo was released under a $500 bond.
 The charge was made negligent homicide after a finding was handed down by Coroner Miles F, McNiff, Jr., when Moriarty died. The re- port said that Paulo was negligent in that he attempted to pass the scooter at an intersection Tt is clear that Paulo made an effort to pass CMoriarty) when he was not justified in doing so,' the report continued.
 The appeal will be heard in Con- mon Pleas Court at the next term.

The Jewish New Year
Bv Berfram Benedict

brate Rosh Hashana for two days, the
liberal or Reform Jews, for one day.
The ancient Jews followed the lunar
month, which works out to about 29h
days. Months were alternately of 29
and so days. Twelve lunar months
amounted to 354 days, but solar year
had to be observed if the new year were
always to begin about the same time
relative to the crop season. So an
extra month was added to the Jewish
calendar eight times in every 10 years.
The week was one of seven days At
first the months as well as the days
seem to have been called by number;
the present names of the Jewish months
date from the Babylonian exile ana
are said to be of Babylonian origin.
The date on which the Jewish New Year
would otherwise fall may be changed
by one day, in order to prevent the Day
Of Atonement or another Jewish holy
day from falling on q day of the week
which would be contrary to Jewish ira
dition.
The Jewish computation puts the Gre
alton of the world 3,760 years before
the beginning of the Christian era. In
asmuch as the Jewish year begins in
the fall of the Christian year, to find
the number of any new Jewish year add
3,761 to the calendar year.

From the Glasgow Herald
1t is paradoxical that a nation which
could recently produce articles so func-
tionally perfect and. in lineal sense, SO
aesthetically satisfactory as Spitfire or
a Typhoon, should now be in danger OF
failing with coffee-pots and sheared
sheepskin rugs. Yet this was the impli-
cation Of two warnings issued by MEM
bers Of the Scottish Committee of the
Council of Industrial Design. There is
Slamentable appreciation OF the differ
ence between good looking object and
q bad-looking one," said the judges in
a rug-design competition. Unless We
improved the design of our mass-pro-
duced consumer goods, they would even
tually 'moulder on the shelves of the
world markets." added technical officer
OF the Committee to Glasgow Rotary
Club. If the export trade is truly vital
to our national economy, then coffee
pots and sheepskin rugs have replaced,
in life-saving Importance, those weapons
of war to the production of which the
whole energies Of the nation were lately
devoted.

Grim Obi Aftermath

Inc reliable" reports reaching the
American Embassy in China indi-
eating that some American flyers
who were forced down near the
North Burma China border as long
as two years ago have been enslaved
by wild tribesmen are enough to
shock every American citizen. The
reports will be received with mixed
emotions by parents and other rela-
tlveS OF the hundreds of airmen who
disappeared without a trace in that
remote and fearsome part of the
China-Burma-India theater. Listed
first as missing" many of these
flyers have been written of by the
War Department as presumed"
dead. But some next of kin still
cling to straWs of hope that miracle
may happen, and the dispatches
from China are bound to revive
waning hopes that numbers of these
presumed dead" flyers may be alive,
albeit in dire distress.
1t was estimated recently that
more than thousand flyers who
crashed in the Obi area are still
unaccounted for and presumed to be
dead. Hasty rehabilitation. difficult
ties of the mountainous terrain and
hostile natives. including bandit
gangs, have interfered with the
ArmyS efforts to find and recover
bodies or otherwise determine the
fate of men who never returned.
Search operations in Northern
Burma were discontinued some
months ago, but graves-regiStration
teams still operate in Southern
Burma and parts of Western China.
The area from which the latest
reports of surviving airmen come is
unqueStionably one of the worlds
wilder and more inaccessible places
1t was over this rugged and for
bidding territory that thousands of
courageous flyers flew supplies and
ferried B29s to China. Many were
forced down by weather or engine
trouble, others crashed into cloud
hidden peaks of the Hump" I'm
doubtedly majority of these were
killed instantly or died later from
injuries and privations. Perhaps a
few remain alive-aS indicated by
the reports from Sikang Province.

investigate these apparently credible
reports and to effect the rescue of
any Americans who may be prison.
erS or slaves in any foreign land,
however remote If, as has been
suggested by one who knows the area
in question, military expedition
might result in harm to the cap
tives, then the prestige of the Gov
ernment should be placed behind
some nonmilitary rescue effort, per-
haps by missionaries or explorers
familiar with the country and its
tribes. 1t is unthinkable that the
grim dispatches from far Western
China should be read without pre-
cipitating immediate and exhaustive
official action to investigate their
accuracy and to liberate any lost
flyers who may be enduring living
death in Shanghai"
