Wyatt Ends an Era
Hy Thomas Stokes

their thinking. for they are cOnserHtve-minded gentlemen.
 They have in fact, accepted the end of sn era which under the Roosevelt New Deal. marshAlled Government resources to meet depression and war They are not disposed to regard the aftermath Of war in the same light. Even the last Republican president Herbert Hoover used Government resources to meet the onslaught of depression The REC was his creation
 There is some doubt here whether the adminis- istration has clearly interpreted the election Mfr. Wyatt does not see it mandate to drop controls and the use of emergency powers for housing. If one who was about the country in the election cam paagn can throw in his two cents worth, t seemed that what the people wanted was more action from Washington of helpful sort more speed in housing, rather than less They had lost confidence in the administration generally. and housing was Jumped along with everything else despite the efforts of MT Wyatt to get things done
 Ne has got things done. By the end of the year. it is estimated. million units win have been put under construction which, it is true, is shy of the 100000 goal. And. he pointed out the build ing industry despite the controls about which it plains is at all-time peak In many lines of pro- duction for housing. The staf is rolling of at record pace
 MT. Wyatt was not so polite about some private building interests They want to make quick pronk he explained and he wondered if they wouldn't price themselves out of the market and jeopardize the long time prosperity of their businesses.
 He also pointed out that if the job can't be done with all controls of-and he doubted it could-the building of apartments or Government subsidies That is exactly what these interests don't want and b counter to what his Government-private industry cooperative plan is sought
 It is obvious that the whole problem will be dumped on Congress in January and Republicans will have a wonderful opportunity to do something about tiff they will take it.

WASHINGTON, Dec o-I may be getting Q bAs tFite to say that era has ended, which first said about the election month ago
 But it is the most important fact about what fact and have the key 1t is much easier to understand it ali these days.
 The most vivid example of the end of era wes what happened to Wilson Wyatt, housing ex- pedter who was called here in the familiar New Deal manner to do something about veterans hous- built and now, suddenly and rudey, has been sacr- feed to selfish private building and real estate tn- teTess who want to let down the bars shake of gov- ernment restraints, and get theirs quick.
 Just 10 months ago President Truman opened long message to Congress on the critical housing shortage thus:
 "when called Mfr Wilson Wyatt to Washington plans"
 The vigorous former mayor of Louisville took him at his word He made no little plans. He made big plans that contemplated the use of the governments resources to tackle what he called then a very tm- porant domestic problem" and what he described at problem" That hardly seems an exaggeration
 Somebody asked Mr. Wyatt what reasons the President gave him for dropping support of his pro- gram now. Mfr Wyatt was too much the Kentucky gentleman to answer and thus failed to satisfy the eager itch for dramatic quote or two among those assembled for the biggest press conference outside of White House affairs. that has occurred here In some months The size of itself evidence of the public interest in this issue.
 But what Mfr Wyatt failed to say everybody here now knows That is that the advisers with whom the President is now surrounded interpreted the electon as a mandate to call halt to Mir. Wyatts proposed broad-scae of Government facilities. including REC loans and Government controls to build houses -or to do anything else. That interpretation suits

Super Highway Dream

Next to the coal strike which bound to cripple trans portaton and industry the most important issue here and elsewhere is the State Highway and individual city and town traffic problems Conditions in Waterbury are duplicated throughout the State where there too many cars in the streets and the roads, for traffic officials to handle the tie-ups the speeding, and the motor law-breaking.
 The State Highway Commission needs more funds 10 carry on the proposed veyear About a third of this amount is available
 At the present time super highways are needed to escape the of city traffic in places like Waterbury, Hartford and other cities Central Waterbury does not cover too large but the city does present layout that has traffic tied up at busy hours of the day. IS an impossbty handle traffic procedure one can readily sec Slanmng down on the offenders will help somewhat but what we actually need improve matters are express highways that will be elevated routed around the out skirts of cities and towns.
 Limited finances and shortages in materials are hn- rnces to carry the programs planned The only tnng to do is drive with caution; obey the speed and parking laws and keep of the way much possible And necessary the the barn to avoid being sdeswpeo or getting fine a reprimand
 In the meantime let sit back, possess our souls m
 ence and await the day for added and perfected super express highways and improvements in city streets

Expensive Lesson

We can't bring ourselves to goat the fate Of Pro Harold Lask who pay estimated $6OOOO in court hs be suit against British newspaper That's pretty hard slap at the learned Socialist But tend to make other academic revolutionaries trife more wary.
 The defendant paper stated that Professor Lask nad advocated revolution by violence in one of his public speeches. Professor Las said that he hadn't The jury after brief deberation decided that that what he'd said.
 Now Professor Laski doesn't look like who would be in the front line of bombthrowers the revolution He's obviously the booksh type We shouldn't be surprised
 revolution by violence" pretty much of academic concept to him. But to of his mpulsive follow srs those are fighting words.
 In the mild words of the presiding judge at his trial:
 When one used violence and revolution at public meet o was very desirable that the context in which they were used should be made abundany clear as they were highly explosive materials"
 By the time Professor LasM has dug up $60,OOO he m surely need no further reminder to look and his words are eaded before he fires them We hope that other eating theorists wl profit hy his expensive example,

The statement will admit of expansion We might say that society is held together by countless very small companies of small good people, in spite of the bungling of the men of good will. For the men of good will"-so they designated themselves in the years between the two world wars-have failed mis- erably in their tasks. They failed not because they stupid, because they lacked good will; they failed because they were not practical enough to see that intelligence and good will are not the basis of peace The basis of peace is goodness.
 THE UNREALISTS
 And sO these men failed because they were un- realistic, impractical They were artists. Thus,

ASPIRIN

Almost as, famous as Harley Street, where all great doctors in England must have offices if they are to shine in fiction, is the Lon- don Lancet. This old and distin- guished medical journal recently rec ported that, of the 7S5 deaths due to poison in the year 1858 in Eng land, 65 were caused by aspirin,
 Commenting on this the Lancet considered it curious that the drug is not classified as poison.
 Well, now, with apologies to the Sunnldale druggist) wouldn't say that. Here in Yankeeland we sane ton indiscriminate and irresponsible dosing with far nor edangerous sense-deadening, pain-killing drugs than aspirin, namely, acetanilid and phenacetin (sometimes called aceto- phenacetin), both being dirt cheap but deadly coaitar derivatives that benumb sense of pain, distress or worry and are therefore the main ingredients of scores of proprietary noStrums purporting to be good remedies for neuralgia, headace, fatigue, "cold," grip, rheumatism, neuritis or what have you.
 The official name for this drug is acetylsalicylic acid. Aspirin was formerly a proprietary name for it but both the name and the right to make and sell the drug became public property years ago and any, body may manufacture and sell aspirin under this or its official name now.
 Is wish to knew a safer drug that would be as efficient as aspirin is in relieving ache or pain, but l must say that five or possibly ten grains of aspirin is the only pain killer I'd be willing to take on my own If l were unable to endure an ache or pain without an analgesic. At that, I'd want to keep pretty quiet for at least an hour after the dose-lying or sitting at rest.
 I have never encountered a case of aspirin poisoning. I have seen grave cases of acetanilid poisoning in children and adults, and two instances of fatal poisoning from nostrums containing acetanilid.
 A representative textbook of Therapeutics (Bastedo) gives this information in regard to the poison- ous eect of aspirin:
 "Asirin has the disadvantage
 that, even in small doses, it pro- duces nausea and heartburn in
 certain people, particularly in
 those with highly acid gastric
 conditions" tor, as the radio boys
 interminably din in our .ears, ex-
 cess stomach acidity). Prom
 idiosyncrasy" (peculiar suscepti-
 bility) there are many reports
 of feelings of weakness, collapse,
 angioneurotic swellings of face
 and throat" (giant hives), "skin
 rashes, major urticaria" (severe
 hives) "and rarely death"
 There you have it. Goodness knows I'm not at all fond of ache, pain or distress of any kind my self, but unless it is too much to endure I'd rather cry 1t out than resort to any such unpredictable se-deadening drug. even If only one out of a hundred persons talk ing the stuff suffers untoward ef- fleets.
