Editorial
HOW ABOUT A FULL CABINET?

HOW ABOUT A. FUL CABINET?
1T IS A TRAGIC commentary on the. functioning Of the
local government that at this late date : some two years after
he took office : the Governor is just getting around to hav-
ing some of his cabinet confirmed by the Senate.
M STILL THERE are other positions to be filled.
We are to get a commissioned officer from New England to
head the Department of Education here. Perhaps he will
come, perhaps he will not come. Perhaps at that same time
the Governor will round out his cabinet, perhaps he will not.
TWO QUESTIONS come to mind which cause concern.
First, how could the Governor possibly operate to the maxi
mum of the governments capacity without having his cabi-
net in full force? Second, is it possible that all this time could
be necessary to even recommend?
FOR THE VEL of all concerned it would be best
if the Governor took time out, gave the matter serious thought,
and then came up with his full cabinet. If it is that the Gov
ernor is hoping to appoint the perfect cabinet, one which
will rise above criticism, and which will meet the require
ments of and please everybody, then he is mistaken because
it simply is not possible.
IF THE GOVERNOR is concerned about the fact that
he would like to have one cabinet and once the marriage is
consumated then divorces would be impossible, then he is
perched in the right pew but the wrong church. No slate OF
candidates for the cabinet posts will please everyone. NO
ororm of men will fill all the needs all the time. No selection
could be so perfect that either the Governor will not have
to ease some out, or others resign. Why, then, the deayF
QUESTIONS LIKE these are likely to nk His Excellency,
and there are many public officials who regard public crltl-
cism. or even the most logical difference of opinion as the
basis for mflinching bitterness and e~nmityshp. OF course,
the Governor is not in this category, and we are happy for
that. for if it were, then he could scarsely be fit for the posi-
ton of Governor.

The answer was the Me-262. Streaking
up into the troposphcre. the twin-jet fighter
was knocking down the surprised Mosquitoes
before they could radio an attack report.
Nevertheless, the air war over Germany
continued to run against Hitler. There were
too few Of the jets to turn the tide.
In January, l945 Hitler fired his fighter
chief, Adolf Galland, a 95-plane ace. The
2S-year -old lieutenant general became COM
mander Of the 44th Fighter Squadron, which
had been created to fly the new Messer-
schmitt jets. Flying with him as working
fighter pilots were two full colonies, lieu

scoring system-with 800 kills.
In the first weeks Of operation, the
squadron ran up score Of so victories. 1t
fought until the day the tanks OF Gen.
Devers' armored forces rumbled onto its
flight strip, and captured some Of It's Messer-
schmitt jets.
The rusting relic at the Naval Research
Laboratory Is one Of the last Of these planes.
Captured in 1915 and sent to the Naval
Proving Ground at Dahlgren. Va, II was
moved to the Naval Research Lab In 1851 to
be burned in tests Of new fire-fighting
equipment. Before it was put to the torch,
however, the tests were completed. NOW
the aging jet, minus one Of its undressing
engines, with all but its outer shell removed
or destroyed, is playground for would-oe
aces still too young to know that this was
perhaps Hitler's biggest mistake.
