resentatives to every city and town
over 0.000 and two to every town
Incorporated before 1850. Some Of
the latter still are hamlets.
There are 20 cities and towns
In Connecticut with O population
Of more than 10000. Two-thirds
Of all our people live In these cities
and towns" he said. But instead
Of having two-thirds Of the repre-
sentatives In the House Of Repre-
sentatives. they have less than
one-sixth. Specifically, they elect
40 representatives to the lower
house out Of o total membership
Of 272."
He pointed out further that the
ZOO, 900 who live In these cities
can be outvoted-and usually are
by representatives Of 26 small
towns with q total population Of
less than $4,000 and that 100000
citizens who live In the five largest
cities, more than q third Of the
population, have only 10 repre-
sentatives out of 272 and can be
outvoted by representatives of six
towns with total population well
under 10000.
Liquor Unit Head Suspended.
In another direction here Gov.
Bowles has stirred up o real
ruckus by suspending the Chair
man Of the State Liquor Control
Commission, John T. Dunn. jr..
on the basis Of the report Of an
investigation conducted by Ed
ward J. Hickey, State police COM
missioner. The report charged
that Mr.. Dunn. an insurance man,
had personal business dealings
with liquor permit holders which.
Commissioner Hickey alleged. con-
stituted questionable conduct" +"
neglect of duty" and probable
violations Of the criminal laws"
Current inquiries in other fields
Of State government indicate pos
sible action of similar nature in
keeping with Gov. Bowles' aim to
improve the moral tone Of Con-
necticut's government.
There are also cases where State
ofiicials, powerful politically. have
two State posts, a duality OF role
that can be effective in plain polit-
ical maneuvering by the extern
sion Of favors Of various sorts. ap-
preparations. jobs. and the like.
Because Of. Connecticut's pecu-
liar political set-up, Gov. Bowles.
q Democrat, must administer the
State government with heads Of
departments who are all members
Of the Republican Party, some
with important party political
posts.
One Of the few measures he got
through the reluctant House Of
Representatives. Overwhelmingly
Republican, was q law creating q
commission similar to the Hoover
Commission which Is delegated to
do the same sort Of job for Con-
necticut and recommend mod
ernizing of the States cumber-

situation could be met by sumci-
ent cut In European Recovery Pro-
gram appropriations. The sums
saved could be applied TO the cost
of military equipment for the de-
fense Of the Western nations
against potential aggression from
the East.
Food Ample I'm West Europe.
This Is opposed by the Admins
tration at present. although some
Western military men believe that
at this juncture Britain. France
and the Benelux countries could
use guns more profitably than
butter. Those five nations already
have made important strides to-
ward economic recovery and the
present crisis which menaces
them, strange as 1t seems. is a
crisis Of over-production rather
than shortages.
There Is ample food in Western
Europe, according to official re-
ports. and Britain could improve
the food situation II its govern
ment wished to relent on its eco
nomic plans which call for an In
crease Of exports and decrease Of
imports.
Before the last war Britain's
imports from Europe exceeded by
q billion dollars o year its exports
to the continent. Now. however.
the Labor government Is seeking
to establish O trade balance Of
$500. .000. 900 q year in Its favor In
European trade.
Arms More Important.
Those in Western Europe who
think In terms Of defense agree.
however, that under present con-
ditions-and particularly II the
Paris conference fails-the send
ing Of vital war equipment to
Western Europe is far more i'm
portant than further economic
assistance from the United States.
They would. Of course, like to have
both II they could.
II, however. those who control
the purse strings In the United
States decide that there Is not
enough money for both purposes
they would rather see adequate
implementation of the Atlantic
Pact than continuation Of the
present economic assistance.
They also are said to believe
that the psychological effect on
the peoples Of Western Europe
will be greater II arms begin to
reach European shores than II
more cotton, coal and manufac-
tured goods are sent. American
products have been vitality impor-
tant in the last two years and have
contributed to the hating Of COM
munism. Henceforth. however.
physical security against aggres-
sion appears to be more impor-
tant.

Senator had two other. candidates.
Senator Gillette appealed to Vice
President Barkley for succor; he
also threatened to withdraw from
the Democratic caucus. according
to Majority Leader Lucas plain
tive Macedonian cries to Iowa
politicos.
Actually the Senator has not
really surprised anybody very
much. He ran with President
Roosevelt on the New Deal. but
somehow when the roll was called
In the Senate he preferred the
other point of view. He ran with
President Truman on the Fair
Deal but when the first big test
of the program-the Barkley rul-
ing on cloture which vitality af-
fected civil rights-arrived. SEN
ator Gillette sided with the Re-
publican-Southern coalition.
The Vice President was q little
nonplussed: he had hoped that
time and a defeat had changed
the Senator. a,.37g rs
Since one Of the great national
Jewish organizations employed
Senator Gillette after his defeat.
the Democrats had also assumed
he would be keenly aware OF the
issues In the civil rights fight.
Senator Gillette is always con-
sulting his conscience" the Vice
President explained to a friend,
"and he is always saying he will
have to leave 1t to prayer. That's
fine, but the fact that then he al
ways sides with the Republicans
worries me, because If that's what
the Almighty tells him. then we
Democrats must be wrong"
Political sources here state that
Senator Gillette was consulted
about the Switzer appointment by
National Chairman McGrath and
stated that he would not maze 1t
a oersonal matter though he pre-
ferred the other two men.
Mr.. Switzer was the Democratic
candidate for governor last fall.
The Justice Department told the
President he was fully as quail
fed as the Gillette choices. who
were favored by the bar associa-
tions. Democrats here declare the

10S Separate Departments.
1t has one Of the most rotten
borough systems of representation
In the Nation which discriminates
In its House Of Representatives
against its cities in favor Of small
towns and rural sections, 50 that
city people are all but disfran-
chised in this sector Of govern
ment. There are l08 separate de-
partments and agencies in its
and overlapping State
government. There has grown up
q meshing Of private. political and
State business in some areas Of
government which is amoral, II
not plainly immoral and unethi-
cal.
All of this conduces here. as in
other States, to give private eco
nomic interests undue influence in
State governments, particularly in
legislatures. to get legislation IA
vorable to their special interest
and to block progressive measures
on behalf Of the whole people Of
the State. That. as we know, Is
one of the principal reasons why
the Federal Government has had
to move In during recent years to
protect the public interest.
