Don't Forget Those Teachers

The story of the nadequacy of public school teachers salaries is not In fact, the only excuse for rec telling is that it to be consistently forgotten as it is frequently told and also because the situation is pass ing from that of national disgrace to that of national problem.
 Recent figures indicate that 35OOOO teachers have left their jobs since the began Some 60000 of them have not been replaced An additional 100000 teaching jobs are being filled by persons who could not qualify for the oos ex cept under emergency conditions.
 The reasons for this exodus not hard to find. Dur ing the teachers received average increase of Il percent against 56 percent for industrial workers nat brought their average annual salary at the wars end to $7S6 or about $34 week. This compares unfavorably with the average pay of domescs mancursts hacheck girls and others whose jobs scarcely match the teach CTS as contributions to the country's advancement
 Even the average salary quoted above low it is is misleading the plus side During the last year of the war half the countrys teachers averaging less than S 625 year. fifth were getting less than $120O and A., 900 received less than $500 annually.
 Perhaps one of the chief of this shameful cond tion is outmoded attitude which of us have toward the profession of teachng-an attitude that sits in back of mind like inherited piece of antique furni- ture.

Little training demanded Little ay expected received Teaching was recognized as necessary but profession for it tolerated as the step search of husband the last refuge of misf spnster who had to make her own way in mans world

just now. M is certain that the big business and finance influence was a factor which resisted the inquiry. These interests are pleased that they can find refuge behind the broad bacx of general foreign policy.
 Senator Brewster tR, Me), war investigating committee member, referred to this when he was asked whether the inquiry prompted by eftst in- fuences He replied that the strongest resistance to the proposed investigation was being made by ''the right" and high officia1dom both inside and outside the State Department There is much meaning there if you are familiar with the way high finance works
 
 The committee could perform a pubIie service by publishing the various connections of influential persons in the economic section of the American military government the former patent holdings and tie-ups of companies with which they may have been associated or other big American corporations with of these former ties had been renewed or whether German patents had come into the hands of such corporations how. and on what terms
 Senator Kilgore O. w.vaD chairman of the War Investigating Committee, already has perhaps the most vouminous file this subject in Washing ton complied by military affairs subcommittee now exnct, of which he formerly was chairman It shows how American corporations made contracts with Ger man cartels soon after World War and thereafter through the years pooling patents fixing prices and dividing up world markets.
 This mustn't happen again It mustn't because it was the German cartes which furnished the sinews of war for Hitler. Our war program was crippled at the start by their mon0postic control over sra. Segic materials and patents through contracts that restricted American experiment and production
 It will happen unless international finance which Is so influential with our Government still is prevented from entering the of agreements again under the cloak of business expediency or the beguiling excuse of building up a strong Germany as a bulwark against Russia" which was the way it all started after World War I

Judge

WASHINGTON. Nov. 3o-tNEAD-The man in the center of the spotlight this week was of course T. (or Thomas) Allan GoldsborougA associate justice of the District Court of the United States for the District of Columbia. His decision on John L. Lewis has made unique history.
 It was before Mir Justice GoIdsborough that attorneys for the Department of Justice appeared seeking a restraining order to prevent the United Mine Workers from breaking their contract to work under Government seizure of the mines. He granted that order
 Tn the eight years that Justice Goldsborough has unpredictable. He's a rugged character of pioneer stock from the Eastern shore of Maryland. and he has plenty of courage He is six feet tall bald and beSpectacled. He Is shrewd smart, small-town courthouse lawyer who served in Congress for le years before Roosevelt appointed him to the bench. Tn the 2T years he has been around Washington he has found out what goes on in politics and ali the facts of life
 The record of eases he has heard shows he has
 fondness for trials in which there lot of public interest. He doesn't mind hullabaloO and headlines over his decisions.
 Lawyers who have argued cases before him differ in their appraisal of him, but they seem to agree that if he thought John L. Lewis guilty. he would just as soon put him in jail as look at him. He is utterly fearless and match for John L. in color and personality any day.
 He makes quick decisions and sticks to them like grim death. He has had numerous rows with the District Court of Appeals and he probably holds the record for the number of his decisions reversed by these higher courts The District of Columbia Appeals Court is famous for the number of lane-duck ap-

German NC Puzzle

WASHINGTON, Nev. 3e-Democrass en the sen- ate War Investigating Committee apparently have blocked, at least temporarily Republican proposal to investigate the American military government in Germany.
 Secretary Byrnes and other administration off, cials protested and to their opposition was added that of a powerful Republican, Senator vandenberg (Mich) who is to be chairman of the Senate Foreign Religions Committee in the new Congress
 Opposition was on the ground that such an in- qiry would adversely affect conduct of our foreign policy at this critical state This has to do largely with political aspects of our policy.
 But there is phase of American policy on the economic level that surely should be investigated and that can be done without any junket to Germany or without any poking around" there by Congressional committee
 What influence the big business, big financial complexion of some of representatives in Germany has had in economic affairs in that country should be determined. That leads directly to the problem oi former German cartels: Have they been put out of Business or are they gradually coming back with the acquiescence of American officials associated with industries financial houses that formerly had ties with German cartels before the war?
 This vital issue of German cartels has been kept somewhat in the background. year and half ago there was revealed here in series of dispatches the big business and financial calber of various American officials charged with economic phases of German policy, as well as connection of some of them with industries that formerly had te-ups with German cartelS.
 The list was headed by Brig. Gen William H Draper, chief of the economics division of the U. group council who has a background of big finance through associations with National City Bank Bank CTS Trust and Dillon, Read Company. It went on through others with big industrial and financial con- nections
 Whatever other influences contributed to the State Departments opposition to inVestieation in Germany, and 1t is assumed there are valid reasons

Clothing Drive

The charity of local people of the Roman Catholic faith asked during the coming week. that they alleviate somewhat the misery and suferings of peoples in war stricken Europe Last year the response Waterbury and throughout the state was such that this section made one of the largest contributions in clothing in the country.
 Each city and town the state organized by parishes and each parish accepts the responsibility in response to worthy cause Not half is learned through the secular pEess of conditions existing in the countries of Europe This fact is ascertaned in reading Catholic Diocesan papers ana periodicals where first hand information from Cath ollie national press
 The appeal for durable clothes is for worthy cause The Catholic Transcript says editorial in the last issue "In the of Him who wrapped in swaddng clothes and laid in manager of rude stable let us do this meritor ous Christian thing"

Views of the Press
O'CoNNOR SHOULD BE FOR IT
(Hartford Times)


 Former Mayor Dennis P. OCon- no rhas a reputation for straight thinking and square shooting. 1t is somewhat surprising that he is found in the opposition ranks with respect to the proposed council-city manager charter.
 MT. O'Connor has more than once gone publicly on record as a critic of political bossism. In the Fall of i945 he withdrew as recep- tive candidate for the Democratic nomination for Mayor because the bosses of the Democratic Party frowned upon his candidacy. He was reputedly too independent to their taste.
 A year or so later, in August of this year, Mir. OConnor returned to the battle line and again berated the Democratic bosses. Tn The Times of August l2, he is quoted as follows in support of the State Sem atorial candidacy of Alfred P. Wechsler.
 When I withdrew my name from the Democratic rQayoralty contest last Fall, l then stated that the underlying issue in the Democratic Party was whether a Democrat. to aspire for public ofiice in Hartford, must first be found acceptable to Messrs Spellacy and Connerton. !. The proposed charter is nonpar- tisan. Political bosses have no standing in it's operation. Any per- son can become a candidate for the nine-member council by filing a petition with 250 voters signatures. Tn the primary the voters nominate the i8 receiving the highest votes. Of these l8. the voters elect nine on election day.
 That is the type of untrammeled democracy MT. OConnor has been fighting for. He should be giving it his support now when there is such a splendid opportunity for putting it into practice.
 It is true that the Democratic Party has gone into new hands, But tn efact remains that it is still in the hands of political leaders. as is the Republican Party, and neces- sarily so under the party system. Now is the time to give the muni- cipal machinery back to the citizens so they may select their officials without reference to bosses of any type.

Bad Description-Bad Approach

correspondent for American newspaper was writ, ing the other day about "a smashing victory for the United States delegation the international committee meeting in London which is seeking draft world trade charter There have been various other Preferences to tories and defeats for this nation that in the recent efforts to write peace treaties and insure world peace.
 It s of course absurd to speak of naonalstic vic- tories defeats in conferences designed to find means or ending natonasc dsagreements. There be only vic. tories defeats for the of wisdom in the nations search for peace.
 Yet the old diplomatic habits of thinking are hard to break The result not the avowed purpose of other peace conferences has been victory for powers and defeat for others But such thinking won't do this time Untl it is abandoned there will be little progress And if is not you take your choice from words like tragic or fatal to predict the result.

pointments made to it, however So lawyers Son't attach too much importance to Justice Goldsborougfs frequent upsets
 In the trial of Gaston Means who persuaded Evalyn Walsh Mclean to finance his private work on the LndbeEgh Kidnapping case. Justice Colds borough told witness, T think you're damned har. right before the jury. The Court of Appeals gave him terrible bawling-out for that but his de- cision was upReid.
 Justice Goldsborough's great-greaa-great-grand father was member of the Continental Congress It's that kind of revolutionary arstocracy that is his heritage.
 As Congressman. Goldsborough was a New Dealer even though he represented the tradtionaIy conservative Democratic first district of Maryland taking m the Eastern Shore counties Tn 1898 he had his biggest fight when he backed Roosevelt on "the purge and invited the President to invade the Free State of Maryland" and help defeat Sen. Willard E. Tydings
 The purge failed, and G0ldsborougla,s fight brought down on him the wrath of conservative Dem- ocrats from all over the state. They joined forces with Republicans to defeat him, but when the votes were counted Goldsborough had won His constituents liked the way he had represented them and the way she had obtained lot of New Deal money for their district.
 Goldsbor0ughs reward was appointment to the District Court bench by Roosevelt, when Congress authorized increasing the number of justices to serve in Washington They really should be called "imdCss" for the District Court is on level with state courts
 As one of the l2 judges on the bench, Colds borough takes his turn at hearing motions, fury trials civil. criminal and divorce cases It was mere chance that the Lewis case fen to Ills lot.
