the Constitution of Massachusetts, in 1840 (see Works, Charles Sum- ner, "On the Representative System in America") was the first state specifically to reappOrtiOn, to guarantee equal legislative repre- sentation in both branches of it's legislature. Many other states have followed suit. New York, under Governor Dewey, was the last state to do this-in 1943.
 America now faces a critical world, a world in which leader. ship can easily be Americas If we will but practice what we preach representative democracy, the only form of government which the world in showdown will be glad to choose as an alternative to RuS- sian Communism! But it must be honest, popular, equal representa- tive democracy! The world can. not be fooledl And what we do up here in the little Nutmeg State concerning this grave problem will do more to reveal our true selves to all the world than 996 of all the activities of our Department of State or of our delegates to the United Nations. For Connecticut Is "grass-roots" America-and that is the America the world IS watchingl

 tionment Association.

the war under Kaiser Shipyard management on the West Coast.
 To the timid souls who contem- plate sea travel the radio control room would allow them to relax in comfort, for even off duty the radio room Is still controlled by an electric compass that can pick up an sos signal and alarm the ship to stand by, as well as ring a bell in the radio operators quar- ters to rouse him to duty. The main transmitter has 300-mile radius and the high frequency transmitter brings in world ire quencies. There is an emergenyc generator connected with an alarm system that can send out an sos In a 1O0-mile radius even after the crew has been commanded to abandon ship. An sos is set up to alarm the seaways every four seconds. There IS even a buoy type of emergency wireless that IS tossed overheard as the last act of the wireless operator which is set to send an SOS on out it's alarm during the international silent points of the hour from 16 min- utes after to 18 minutes after, and from 45 minutes after to 48 min- utes after the hour. One of the many other duties of the radio operator Is to have the emergency batteries constantly recharged in readiness to take care of radio communications for 48 hours after the ships generators are broken down.
 The captain or officer of the watch can communicate with any section of the ship through a talk back reproducer system.
 In time of emergency the Nfe- boats aft, bow, stern, port and starboard, are easily launched by an automatic winch system.
 To facilitate loading and unload ing cargos that include many items from Gorganzola cheese, frozen meats, to ver1nouth and crude rub Der, there are 24 electrically con- trolied ROOMS.
 With such ships and such Ane maritime officers and crews as typified by the President Lines officers and crews, AMERICA has a GREAT FUTURE in its POST WAR WORLD TRADE. and NEW LONDON-GROTON CAN OPEN THEIR PORT TO GOLDEN DAYS OF WORK AND OPPORTUNITY! IT'S ALI, UP TO US AND A REAL INTEREST IN GROTON-NEW IONDONS FUTURE!

Congress Gets IS Bills Affecting Veterans
 On Opening Day

N
 When the 8Oth Congress convened at Washington recently, the mem- bers of the House of Representa- tives and the Senate introduced 18 bills pertaining to veterans affairs during the opening days sessions. These bills cover programs which might total $20, 1000, 100000 or ESQ., GOO, 100000 in new outlays to ex- CTS.
 Lawmakers are introducing bills and getting campaigns underway for such things as:
 I. A soldiers bonus;
 2. Immediate cashing of terminal leave bonds, and
 3. A boost in government pay- ments to veterans going to school or learning new jobs by working at them.
 Rep. Edith Nourse Rogers {R- Mass), the new chairman, is con- centrating on plans to keep the house veterans committee busy.
 ''One of the first things" she told a reporter, twill be to lift the $2O0 ceiling on allowances for on-the-job training. It is manifestly unfair"
 Mrs. Rogers introduced bill on that. So did several other legisla- tors.
 Furthermore, Mrs. Rogers has ideas about:
 Increasing the number of am- putees eligible for free cars Con- gress provided $3O, 100000 for this purpose last year); expanding out patient treatment to help more vet erans and relieve the shortage of hospital beds: extending educational provisions of the CT Bill of Rights, and improving arrangements for supplying artificial limbs.
 Terminal Leave Bonds
 Judging by the number of new bills, a heavy demand Is building up for immediate redemption of some $2,7OO,OOO ,O0O worth of ter minal leave bonds. These were given to enlisted men by the last Congress to make up for the fact that officers got long leaves with pay before they were discharged. But enlisted men have to hang on to their bonds for at least five years, even though the bonds draw two and a half percent interest.
 Rep. Patman D-Tex), author of one bond cashing bill, said it wouldn't cost the government a cent, because the government can borrow money to redeem the bonds at less than the interest it pays on them"
 Patnan. along with Rep. McCor- mack (D-Mass.) and former Rep. Fred M. Vinson, now chief justice of the United States, was co-spon- sor of the World War I bonus bill.
 Rep. Pace (D-Ga0 has come for ward with a World War II bonus bill. It would ante up $4 day for service at home and $5 for service overseas.
 Rep. Landis R-Ind.), figuring on reintroducing 8 bonus bill for $1 a day for duty at home and $1.50 for overseas service, said the cost of such payments has been esti- mated at $4,000, 100000. On that basis, the check for the Pace bill might reach $12, ,000, GOO, 900 Or $15,- COG, ,O00, ,000.
 Some of the new legislation would go back to help veterans of World War I. Rep. Beckworth D- Tex1 would extend the pension system to cover partially disabled veterans of that war whose disabili- ty was not service-connected.
 This would extend to these men the same benefits, ranging from $25 to $1O0 a month, now granted Spanish-American War veterans.
 Another Beckworth bill would transport overseas all families of soldiers serving there and provide housing for them, all for free.

 Eastern Connecticut News GToton, Conn.
 Sir:
 John Stuart Mill, England's great, probably greatest, thinker in re- gards to political matters, said in his book, Considerations On Rep resentative Government" that "The first principle of democracy is rep resentation in proportion to num- berS."
 Let us see hOm democratic Con- necticut now is, using Mills right eOus logic as our criterion. The fourteen (14). smallest towns by population in Connecticut, hav- ing less than one-hah of one per cent of the Connecticut popula- ton (.45% to be exact) have equal legislative power (22 votes to be
 exact) with the eleven CID larg- est towns of Connecticut, having
 over half of all the population of Connecticut {521o to be exact)! The defenders of the status quo largely base their argument for this undemocratic situation on the theory" that the towns represent "area' In the Connecticut House, while the Connecticut Senate rep resents population analogous to the U. S. Congress.
 The U. S. Constitution at no place uses a generic term In de- scribing the national or central government, but it does guaran- tee to each state "a republican form of government" generic phraseol- ogy (Section 4, Article IV). A survey of the structure of state legislatures at the formation of the Union, reveals that almost all leg Iislative districts of any given legis- lative body were almost all equal in population and no glaring case of disparity in population existed then to prove that the Founding Fathers believed in "area" representation within a state itself, as for in- stance, existed and exists in the U. S. Senate. In every case of the
 adnaittance of a new state, no such disparities existed to prove that the United States through either it's President or the Congress believed in "area" representation within a state itselfs It Is only since admit tance to the Union that the several states have had this problem of dispropOrtionate legislative rep resentation thrust upon them! Many states have resolved this
 problem quite categorieally by re- apportionment acts 1egalizing equal, pFoportionate legislative rep resentation in both branches of the legislature. Massachusetts, under the flashing logic of Charles Sum- ner, one of the founders of the present Republican party, in its Convention to Revise and Amend

It Is common knowledge that at one time New London in1- ported through her port two-thirds of all crude rubber used in the United States, and the Marine Leopard unloaded in our port 5000 tons of crude rubber giving much needed work to our local long sh0remen.
