BRESSLER RESIGNS AS CITY
MANAGER

City Manager Harry Bressler has resign
ed as City Manager of the City of Milford.
The resignation becomes effective November
1st. AS is to be expected the announce
ment of his resignation has brought forth
expressions of pleasure and regret. Those
who approve of his administration are sorry
while those critical of the handling of city
affairs are happy. When he leaves in October
it will be the second time that he has quit as
City Manager here. The first resignation
was presented at the time he accepted SIM
liar position at RehObOth.
With Mr.. BressIer's resignation, City
Council is confronted with the necessity Of
employing a competent man for City Man
ager. This will not be an easy job. Good
men are hard to find under the best of cir
cumstances. Many qualified men will not
accept the abuse and criticism which goes
with the job. For some time past we have
wondered whether Milford is operating un-
der a true City Manager form of govern
ment. The writer was active in assisting to
secure the passage of necessary legislation
through the Legislature which gave Milford
the City Manager form of government. This
was several years ago. Our understanding
at that time was that City Council should
set up specified duties, not already incOr-
pOrated in the Charter, for the guidance of
the City Manager The entire OperatiOnal
responsibility for running the City was to
be handed over to him and he was to do the
job without interference from the Mayor or
City Council. If our understanding is wrong,
then there are many residents in Milford
who have a mistaken idea of the City Man
agement form of government. Past per-
fOrmances, however, are now water over
the DAM Let's look to the future as it be-
comes necessary to hire new City Man
ager.
We believe that the first, and most i'm
pOrtant, qualification for any City Manager
in Milford is that he have the ability to meet
the public in pleasing manner. If he has a
clear understanding of public relations half
of his battle is won. Milford needs such a
man badly. Certainly the wind bag" type
Of individual is not a part of our sugges-
.tiOn. We mean the type of person who will
have the patience and desire to sit down and
discuss a problem of public interest calmly
and completely. A man who can cOmprO-
mise and work out plans mutually satisfac-
tory to both elements of a dispute Such q
person will do much to build UP and hold
permanently a favorable interest in public
affairs This can mean much to the future
advancement of Milford
If City Council and the Mayor will
employ a competent man who will not cringe
for fear of losing his Job should he disagree
with Council Milford will be on the road tC
better times in our municipal affairs. If
Council desires to brOw-beat the appointed
City Manager, then chaos and misunder.
standing will continue in our public affairs
here in Milford.

of the Union address, and mat, with
the cooperation of the 83rd Con-
gress, which. he praised as having
risen "aboVe party lines, he had
made a good start. THE Executive
and Legislative departments" he
said, have worked with patience
and good will that this nation not
be divided against itself" In tribute
to the late Senator Taft, the Presi-
dent gave large credit for the
bright beginnings that are clear
for all to see" to the Senator's
courage, integrity and selfless
cooperation"
He mentioned also that he had
been working on labor law recon-
mendations for the next session
of Congress. But he did refer to the
19 point draft of recommendations
for Hartley Act revisions that
was sent, a few days before ad-
jOurnment, to the chairmen of the
House and Senate Labor Com
mittees They were also advised
that the message would be pre-
sented formally later in the day. But
the recommendation were with
drawn following a storm of Con-
gressiOnal protest.
The President pointed out in this
document that he did not expect
action in the session recently ad-
! jOurned, but was making recon-
mendatiOns at this time. . il
order that the various change:
recommended may be fully con
sidered and discussed by all in

undertakes to act on them at its
next session"
There are those who say these

amount to repeal of the law" AnC
there are those who say that they
are largely the handiwOrk of the

THE DELAWARE COLONY ARGUMENT
GETS HOTTER

Writing in her newspaper, 'The Sussex
COuntian," in last weeks issue, Mary HOus-
ton Robinson, its Editor, carries the truthful
fight right back at the Wilmington critics
who have needed her recently. We are re-
printing the editorial in full at the bottom
of the editorial columns this week. We have
known Mary Robinson for many years. We
know her to be truly interested in the well
fare of unfOrtunates and a public spirited
citizen whose first thought always is for the
best interests Of our State and our County.
While we detect certain elements of resent
nent against those who have thrown the
book at her." so to speak, during the past
several months, we agree with her in her
viewpoint about Delaware Colony It must
be remembered that Mrs. Robinson has moth
ing to gain, either through holding a Job or
securing any monetary gains through her de-
tense OF the colony as administered in the
past We wonder whether this same thing
can be said about those who write and whose
job depends to some extent upon agitation
and just plain stirring up" and meddling in
public affairs, and also about those whose
ivelihOOds depends largely upon the further
ance OF an expansion program that their jobs
might be made more secure.
We have no desire to enter into a long
drawn out controversy with Wilmington col
umnlstS, nor their bosses, but it's does seem to
us that their time can be devoted to better
use should they devote themselves to VIII
mingtOn and New Castle County. That is
where their influence is the greatest 1t is
certain that their rantings will have a mega
stfVe reaction on the part Of Sussex Countians
in the future when needed legislation is pro-
posed for Delaware Colony and other State
supported institutions. Delaware is a small
state. We must cut our cloth to our income.
It is nice to desire all of the things advocated
for our public institutions. But it is about
time that some of the expenditures are trim
med or entirely eliminated. Possibly a start
could be made by firing some of the high
salaried hirelings who have been imported
to administer these places. Certainly here in
Delaware can be found competent men and

Little To Cheer About

America waits, with sickening
anxiety, to learn just how big
Operation Big Switch is going to be.
By the end of the second day, when
140 Americans of the 1913 the
enemy says they were holding, had
been returned, Freedom Village,
erected hopefully for the glad return
of our POW's was a sadder but a
wiser place. 1t now seemed appar-
ent that more would be sick and
wounded than ablebOdied, that many
would return to their cOlors in
litters, and obvious that the enemy
had not kept his word in Operation
Little Switch, last April, when all
sick and wounded were to have
been returned. And as the returnees
were pTocessed, the stories Of in
dividual torture, of murderOus death
marches, of wholesale brutality and
privatiOn mounted.
Back in Washington, General
Mark Clark, in a Pentagon news
conference, told reporters that the
Reds might be holding from 1900
to 5000 more Americans than they
reported. There is no way we can
prove it, he said, and no way he
could demand or expect to get
accurate information as to prisoners
short of force"
The General was asked if he
would favor bombing the enemy:
sanctuary" north of the Yalu
River, and the use of atomic bombs
if the truce were broken and hOstili
ties resumed. He replied there
might" be mo holds barred, anC
added: "If the truce is broken,
would favor using any weapon q
the disposal of my country"
But General Clark had also TOLD
newsmen that he had applied fol

WE TURN DOWN DATE

Delawareans reading the Will
mingtOn papers during the past
week and watching WDEL-TV
Friday evening must be of the Opin-
ion that. Sussex County has pro-
duced a second Patty Cannon
woman so heartless and so cruel
that she would deprive the patients
at Delaware Colony for the Feeble
Minded any kindness or comfort
or care. Such a woman they term
US to be; and so that we will have
our heart sOftened and our ignor-
ance corrected, we are invited by
Mr.. Bill Frank, cOlumnist of the
Wilmington Morning News to meet
him some morning at the Colony
and see the pitiful epileptics, NOR
Ons and imbeciles and learn from
Mr.. George W. Bryan, Superinten-
dent Of the institution, all about
his plans for new hospital there.
Well, we should like to remind
both Mr.. Frank and Mr.. Bryan, that
while they were still in the todd
ling stage we were making tours
Of, and writing theses about, epil-
optic colonies, feeble-minded insti-
tutions, jails and detention homes
as part of our work toward "our
minor" for a bachelors degree.
And long before they ever heard Of
Delaware Colony we were making
trips there, watching the first
buildings being erected, seeing the
first patients received tenderly.
And we can assure these gentle
men-young upstairs to us-that
morons, epileptics, imbeciles and
idiots are no different today than
they were then and have been
throughout the ages. The very
sight Of them is heart breaking
and, like Mr.. Frank, their pitiful
plight was too much for us to
take.
But people did take it; and it is
because Of these self-sacrificing
people that we have resented so
deeply the vilification by these two
men of these faithful servants of
Delaware Colony who for more
than a quarter Of a century de-
voted their time and gave their
love to these pitiful creatures
there. We speak of the first super
intendent, Howard T. Ennis and
his wife who suffered for over
thirty years conditions which Mr..
Frank couldn't stand for short
visit We think of the nurses, the
doctors, the ministers and the en-
ployees who "did take it.
We think Of the members Of the
commission who gave their time,
through the years, to make the
Colony the best that they could
with. the money made available 10
them BY the DeleWare State Leg
islature. It is because Of all these
faithful persons that we are infur-

Gloucester, Mass, August 14-FI
am glad to be here in dear old
Gloucester, Mass, for another
summer. Let me testify that it
has a most healthful and efficient
climate 1t combines cool sum-
mers and mild winters in a most
remarkable way.
Efficiency Demands Changeable
Climates
From some of the 400 cities in
which this column will be pub
lished 1 will have letters from
their Chambers of Commerce to
prove that their community is a
milder and more pleasant place to
live. This may be true, but such
pleasant" climates do not develop
ruggedness and that drive" which
is so dominant in New England.
Furthermore, l am not comparing
| New England on the basis of ma
tural resources. We have no oil,
or natural gas, or coal; we have
no broad acres of fertile lands;
we have no mines of iron, copper,
or other minerals. We have moth
ing but rocks, woodlands, brains,
and energy.
New England does have a cli-
mate which develops courage, in
itiative, and drive" Statistics
clearly indicate that variations in
weather with regular changes from
warm to cold, rain to sunshine,
and vice versa, develop the most
efficient people. Any Chamber Of
Commerce official who doubts this
should read the books and reports
of Ellsworth Huntington before
criticizing this article. Every city,
however, has some outstanding ad-
vantage which, if properly capi-
talized, should cause it to grow
and prosper. But God gives to no
community all the advantages, ma
tural resources, river cOmmunica-
tiOns, fertile soil, and good cli-
mate.

lated by such statements as made
by Supt. Bryan on TV, Friday
night. Quibbling on the title of
our editorial "Sin of Omission" he
stated:
"The sin was committed 80 years
ago when the original commission,
looking far into the future, start
ed the plans for the institution for
the mentally retarded in the State
of Delaware and slowly as our
corn dies during a drought and
our fields turn brown, so did Della
ware Colony begin to deteriOrate.
Through 80 years of deteriOra-
tiOn, misunderstanding and mis-
handling of the charges placed in
the commissions care, did the sin
blossom"
We resent such remarks about
our late father, Robert G.. Hous-
ton, Of the original commission,
who labOred so many years for
the welfare of the Colony. So
should the family of the late Mrs.
T. Coleman DUPONT, who without
thought Of self, gave a quarter of
a century of devotion to the insti-
tuition. Then there were the Sell
den Deemers who pioneered the
movement. There are many for
mer members of the Commission
still living who must be hurt by
such untrue and careless state
ments.
But now let US end this sob
story" which Messrs. Bryan and
Frank have squeezed out of our
editorial; and let's get on with
that half million dollars request
ed for hospital for Delaware
Colony. Or is it a hospital? Or
is it dOrmitory? Or is it an in
firmary? Who can answer that
$450,000 question? According to
the wording of House Substitute
Bill 476, the sum of $45O, 900 is re-
quested Ito provide for a hospital
building with full equipment and
to provide for the renovation OF
the present infirmary." ACCORDING
to Mr.. Bryan, 100000 would gc

when $4,000 has already been

the word appropriation; but

Frank. well, we'd ask him where
the money came from il it wasnr
appropriated by our Legislature p
We checked the $4,000 that was
appropriated for survey at The
