cratic process which makes it pos sible for an ever increasing minor ity to exercise it's will over the de sires of majority, irrespective of the mandate of the people. For if this state of affairs can continue then the party system of govern ment in Connecticut is a farce.
 There are few people who do not know the cause of the pre- sent predicament but it might be we'll to give it its name here. 1t is the Rotten Borough System" ]" It merly means that a very small percentage of the people out in the smaller towns can execise aninor- dinate amount of power in our state government. It is exactly the same type of thing in prin- ciple, to which some people in the North give over so much time to criticising the South in the Con- gress of the United States
 So it is quite apparent that until Connecticut can do something about this decided flaw in our laws gov erning representation in the Leg islature, any Governor, who is not Republican, or any program sub
 nitted by the people is doomed to be scutt1ed in the final analysis.
 Yes, it is a Democratic admin istration on Capitol Hill but 1t is bound and fettered by a Republi- can minority which seeks to pre- vent any constructive moves in the interest of the people.

If you are concerned about that strange quietness which has sud denly descended upon Connecticut, it is attributable to the fact that a lot of noisy individuals known as legislators have left the State Capi- tol and gone to their respective homes after weeks of wrangling and confusion. They've gone home to persuade their respective con stituents that their time there was we'll spent.
 A mere handful known as the Republican minority will have no difficulty doing this because it was quite obvious that their only in tention was to serve a very limit ed constituency. The majority of the people Of the state did not send them in the first instance but in the democratic process they had a perfect right to be there and indicate their frame of mind.
 But whether or not they had a right to concentrate only upon ignoring the mandate of the ma jority is quite another matter and a very serious one. For this min ority for long years really repres- ented a majority of opinion in the state and nothing lost this repres- entation for them except their own consistent lack of wisdom.
 Now, it is quite apparent to all thoughtful persons that something must be done about an undeno-

Dear Editor Liked Bowles Story


 I was more than gratified to see picture of the editor of the Bulle- tin interviewing Mrs. Bowles in last weeks issue. have had the pleasure Of meeting the First Lady and I agree with the editor that she is most charming person. And the extreme interest she shows in the affairs of our state is most commendable as such in terest is not often shown by other women in similar petitions. I am glad to know that she manages to find time from her duties as a mother in Essex and the Cover nor's wife in Hartford to really participate in state activities. Hay ing lived in the South for a num- Der of years, I also have a pretty good idea of just what Mrs. Bowles and her children had to put up with in Virginia, nevertheless, 1t is good to read that the children believe in the brotherhood of man.

 How good it is to see an. old friend! I picked up the Bulletin this afternoon and on the front page I read the name of an old friend who turned out to be none other than the editor Of the Bull letin. Needless to say, it was a surprise to come to the office and find him sitting behind the desk. I met him on board the $. $. General Collins en route from Ma nilIa to San Francisco. Those were good days and we had grand time talking them over this after noon. How well we remembered the whist and pinochle games we played on that trip. We even spoke Of the day we watched patient being transferred from another ship to ours and of the whale that swam around the ship that day. Well, that was three years ago and today it all came back as if it were yesterday. We've come a long way since then. He's gotten 8 lot fatter and I've just gotten old CT, but it's still good to see an old friend.

that you won't have to worry about the omnipresent traffic cop.
 Just word of caution to motor ists who are guilty of leaving their automobile keys in the ignition, when they park it, says w. C.. Robinson, general manager of the Automobile Club of Hartford. This habit is an encouragement to ju- venile delinquency, and whats more important, you may lose your car. Police records show that 63 out of every 100 people arrested for stealing automobiles were minors who yielded to an impulse to take a joy ride.

Easy-going Ed Swett. the man behind some of those wonderful BULLETIN feature stories, is a natural when it comes to turning out interesting newspaper material.
 Endowed with a wealthsof pract- ical experience from his extensive travels and many personal con tacts, Ed has just what it takes to make his stories "punchy' but down to earth.
 The congenial fellow with the heavy mustache was born here in Hartford where he graduated from Hartford High after having attend ed grammer school and part of his high school days in New York City. Following his graduation from high school, Ed matriculated at Howard University.
 Some of his newspaper talent came out as a result of his writ ing for the high school papers and Towards campus sheet Hilltop News. Also while at Howard, Ed contributed articles to several of Washington's Negro papers.
 Edited Hartford Sheet
 After leaving college, he returned to Hartford-still bitten by the newspaper bug-and enlisted his efforts to edit this city's first at tempt at a Negro paper-The Hartford Observer.
 AS part of his assignment coupled with his fine crusading spirit-Ed began Investigating the many discriminatory policies that were prevalent at that time. It was during the course of these crusades that Ed found that there were no Negro clerks employed in the local post office. The citizens of Hart ford were not sure that this was a case of discrimination, and Ed took an examination for clerk in post office

STOCK AND BROCK FIND AIR LANES RISKY

It may take little longer to get to destination afoot but it's a much safer way of travelling than in the air, partners Roy Brock and Clare Stock of the Palmer Fountain found out this week. Both men were involved in two separate airplane accidents within a three-day period last week.
 MT. Stock was first to draw his conclusions on the subject He and Dr. R. E. Garrett, Valley physician, came unscratched through crash landing in Paradise Valley last week, when the motor of their rented ship failed. The men were on a combined photographic and bear hunt at the time.
 Dr. Garrett piloted the plane to perfect landing in an alder patch high on mountain slope, and only a short way from the sheer walls of cliff where landing would have meant certain death. Tt was as smooth a landing as lots I've made on an airport MT. Stock commented.
 Down without scratch. the men found their ship apparently un- damaged and they decided to slash their way clear of the alders and smooth out a rough landing strip from which to take off. Equipped with only hunting knife, and without even water to drink, they worked nearly all day Thursday to free their plane.
 The pair was discovered by pilot Bob Totten about 3 o'clock Thurs day afternoon. However, they were forced to spend the night camped on the banks of Knik River, when darkness came before they could be picked up by the helicopter of the Tenth Rescue Squadron. Aside from blistered hands and feet for Dr. Garrett, neither man was in- jured.
 Partner Roy Brock tested his aerial luck on Sunday afternoon in a small floatship piloted by John Pickel. The two cracked up short ly after a take-off from the surface of Lake Wasilla. Banking at low altitude to avoid the island in the lake there. the plane apparently side-slipped and struck the sur. face of the lake in shallow water, according to MT. Brock.
 Again, neither pilot nor passen- senger was injured, although their
