 American history silOus that pEesidenis of the United States have had more difficulty with Senate confirmation of the Secretary of tile Treasury than any other CdD4net post. In au ten G11erent votes have been cast by the Senate defeating confirma- ton of Cabinet members.
 The frs, of these was Andrew Jacksons fieb to appoint Roger B. Fancy as Secretary of tha Treasury. Jackson was defeated
 Second Senate battle vas President Tylers as tempt to appoint Caleb Gushing as SecreeaRy ol ths Treasury Tyler forced three different votes in the Senate to confirm Gushing but lost each time ny large majorities Tyler also had trouble appointing David Henshaw as Secretary Of the Navy. James M. Porter as Secretary of War. and James q Green Secretary Of the Treasury In each the Senate turned down confirmation by conclusive majority.
 The next Senate fight over Cabinet confirmation occurred in the administration of Andrew Johnson. when he attempted to appoint Henry StanbeEy as Attorney General. but vas defeated.
 Calvin Coolidge also last a fight to appoint Charles B.

 The first vote on Warren was the famous 0cca sion when Vce-PTesident Charley Dawes failed to he present His excuse was that he mapping and his alarm clock failed to 90 off. However.

WARRINGTON. June 1s=Ehose who have studied Harry Truman over the years can't decide whether t is blind personal loyalty or some other bond which makes him 60 through hsil and high water foF the Tom rendefsasts, the James vafdamans. and the John snydefs.
 obviously. it isn't just bocauss they hall iwm Missouri Truman loyalty eoes deeper than that. It almost takes the form of . petty vindiciiveneas-a tendency Co meak vengeance on anyone who has opposed an old Missouri crony Truman takes out his vengeance on the public by putting that eronr in position of trust where the public must suffer without means of retailaton-tint1 next election
 Thus one of the first things Harry Truman did when he became President Of the United States was to fire Maurice Milean the .. s. attorney who had jailed his friend Tom Pendereast Milisan had only done his duty. But within week after Truman stepped Into the White House, Mlligan began look- ing for another job
 Next Truman fired the Attorney General Francis Riddle who had stood Up for Miiligan and tried to keep him as D. 8. Attorney.
 More recently. some advisers proposed the ap- polntment of Justice Prank Murphy to be Chief Justice. Murphy is one of the outstancsng members of the Supreme Court but not for one minute did he have chance to be Chief Justice. For he vas the Attorngy General of the United States who or. defed the prosecution of Pendergast.
 It made no difference that Boss Penderaass oper. atsd one of the most crooked machines in the eoun- try The guiltier he was the more Harry Truman defended hisn. and the more vindictive he to- ward Pendergasts enemies.
 Likewise with John Snyder. It makes no differ ence that Snyder go, the White House into more economic trouble than any other administration leader. It make difference that Snyder advised abolishing the War Labor Board. thereby throwing away the governments chief key for stopping strikes
 It makes no difference that Snyder oalled up the railroad strike. thereby throwing away all chance of Democratic Congressional victory next November, and even Trumans chance of reelection in 4s
 It makes no difference that Snyder released housing controls then had to reinstate them: rec leased woolen controls and caused veterans eloth- ing shortage probably prolonged the coal strike by not letting John L. Lewis talk to U. g. Steel about settlement tn captive mines and abolished the job of Economic Stabser Will Davis. then had to re- create It.
 These may he costly errors to the country. may set the nation back for months But they amount to nothing alongside the friendship of two old friends from Missouri.

Electricity Output Hits New High

A record output of electricity by The Connecticut Light and Power Company was established during the week ending November 9. it was announced today. During that week e total output of 2e.04i .63i kllo- watthours topped by 3e6.62e kilo- watthours a previous record of 27,- 675.0O3 kilowatthours, established during the peak of our war effort in January, io44.
 Greatly increased commercial and domestic use of electricity since the end of the war, and extensive re- conversion activities nov underway in Connecticut industry, are large V responsible for the establishment of the record figure. 1t was asserted.
 Tn anticipation of further de- mands for electric power, the ad- dition Of a new 45OO0 kw turbogen- orator is nov being pushed Co com- pletion at the company's Devon steam plant and. present schedules indicate that the unit will be placed in operation during the spring of 1947. Contracts for this installation were let in December, le4l, but, be- cause of government restrictions, construction was not begun until the spring of l945. when the restric. tions were relaxed.

 Dinner Boskees

Adlutant John Van Gould Of the local Corps aniounced today the salvation Army viii continue ils traditional Thanksgiving and Christmas welfaFe programs this year. Tn ie4s, the local Corps pro. vlded Thanksgiving dinners for sb families numbering asa persons; ln ip44, dinners were furnished to % families numbering 50s people. and in iD4B, Ill families numbering 6l6 persons were assisted with Thanks giving dinners. Present indications point to a further increase ia ape pllcatlons this year and the local Corps ls making plans to handle i25 applications.
 Some Of the increase in the nun. Der of applications may be attri. buted to a change in economic con. ditlofis, Adputant Van Gould stated, but in many instances local Oreafii. zations which furnished Thanks. giving dinners in previous years have discontinued this practice and The Salvation Army has absorbed the load that was previously care ried by other groups.
 The corps officer emphasized the fact that the money used in pro@ viding Thanksgiving dinners and other seasonable assistance comes en. tIreiy from contributions dropped in the street kettles and in free-will donations mailed to the Corps Headquarters at 1ee Cherry Street. The anticipated increase in the number of applications and the in. creased cost of food will necessltate increased income this year. if every under-privileged family is to be properly cared for.
 Food will be collected by the pupils of the public schools of Wa- terbury as in other years and turn. cd over to the Salvation Army for use in making up Thanksgiving bas- kets. The Kings Daughters of the Bunker Hill Congregational Church have already made e contribution of non-perishable food and 1t is ex- pected that several other organiza- tons will contribute food as in pre- vious years.

'Made-in- Waterbury Toys Replacing Foreign NOUeIties

Christmas shoppers in Waterbury this season will not find too large a display of children's toys. stin absent fro mthe market gre toys made in Germany and Japan. How ever, several industries in the city are now turning out toys for the Yule trade as they did before the var.
 Waterbury Companies, Inc, Is featuring e line of small toys made of plastic. Among the models is an old standby, the ocarina or, as it is often called, the sweet potato. This is a wind musical instrument that grownups seem to enjoy as much as the youngsters.
 The toy output includes the Wa terbury wazzoo which looks like a small edition of Bob Burns, ba- zooka: a sailboat, complete with sail, suitable for the kids to take inc Co their bath iwth them: bubble pipe with three bowls and trans- parent stem: and a new super bubble blower, the Bulow, capable of sending forth a steady stream of bubbles.
 The junior birdmen are not neg lected. A good gift off them is the magic afrplane whose propelloT spins when its back is scratched. And there is a magnifying glass, that fits on a pencil, that will please the stamp collector or book lover.
 Made in Waterbury. as tune goes by, will be more noticeable than made in Germany or Japan. Other city industries have begun the manufacture of tops but have not yet announced the models of their lines. The local manufacturing of toys is still hampered by the ef- fleets of the war but by next years Christmas season it Is expected that the city of Waterbury will be well represented in the toy industry.
 Merchants report that youngsters are thronging their stores daily to inspect the Christmas toys. Many of them return for a later visit with their mother or father to show them what they want Santa Claus to put in their stocking or under the tree on Christmas eve. There is stili a scarcity of electrical toys, such as electric trains. The oldtime lead soldiers are not as plentiful as they were before the war. But there are toys for children and the grownups can still play with them with the
