WASHINGTON SNAPSHOTS

By JAMES PRESTON

The att i tude of a noisy minority t ha t "dog bites business m a n " is the real test of headlne news h a s mLsdlreoted the at tention ot many people from the really tremendous achievements of American lndustr.y .so far In building up tho nat ional defenses.

Coupled with the vociferations of disgruntled theorists In obscuring the accomplishments of Industry has been tho necessity ot keeping detailed figures and Information concealed in many cases. After all, when you're t rea t ing defenses to make the nat ion safe, you don't go out of your way to give potential necmies a complete set of charts on those defenses.

But oven par ts of the record ot manufacturing achievements so far afford sufficiently startling evi­dence to give the average citizen a new measure of pride In the In­dustrial machine of his own United States, the greatest, most a d a p ­table, and most efficient In the whole wide world.

I t Is noli, for Instance, giving away a mili tary secret to state the plain truth t h a t In the course of the last 18 to 24 months. American In­dustry has arrived a t a state of pro­duction of tho weapons of defense which the Germans reached only after six years of an Intensive ef­fort t ha t ended with 'Wars ea t ing up 72 per cent ot the German nat ional Income each year.

Like a champion runner compet­ing against a man hobbled with chains, American industry Is " l ap­ping" Its field of totalitarian oppo-ments again and again as time goes by. Free men move fastest. In the fields of thought and action, they not only move fastest, they also move most Intelligently.

In defense, there are examples galore to prove this point. A few among thousands m a y be Interest­ing to readers.

These are times t h a t try people, and It Is easy to get excited and re­sort to violent actions and speech. If one reads the communications to the newspapers or listens to or­dinary speech one will soon see tha t this Is true. But soon extravagance ot speech or acllon Is no sign of strength, but ra ther just the r e ­verse.

Now I have never voted for Mr. Roosevelt and have been much op­posed to many of the things he has

Nevertheless, In this emergency I am whole-heartedly with him. I think i t Is our duty to show a uni­ted front to the wild beasts of Europe, and do all in our power to suppress them. They threaten all t ha t is precious in human life a t present. They threaten the sum of all the good things t ha t we have a t the present time, including the liberty t ha t Is the priceless prize of the past two hundred years of ea­ger and selt-sacrlllclng .struggle. I say this fully realizing tha t not all of the blame is on one side, and all of the virtues on the other. I would not for a moment claim tha t Eng­land has always been right and free from blame. There has never been a great contest where one side was

To begin with, the manner In which Industries geared to peace­time production have changed over swiftly to the making ot delense equipment is one of the. most fasci­na t ing s tor ies ' oh' record. A t ' "tfie present time, a maker ot sewing machines is turning out pistols; a maker of lingerie weaves mosquito net t ing for Army cantonments ; a linoleum factory makes shells; oil plants make rubber, and rubber fabricators make gas masks; a typewriter ifactory turns out machine guns, a tobacco machinery p lant puts together dlesel engines, auto makers turn to tank produc­tion, a lipstick marker produces shell casings, a lawn mower m a n u ­facturer turns out fuses, and a carpet manufacturer fabricates machine tool par ts .

Even more remarkable, through perhaps on the surface somewhat less colorful, Is the way in which American Industry—In altnost every case unused to making military equipment—has fumUed the new requirements set for it.

Welfare Dep't Continued from page one

clal legislature a c t governing Brantord relief, th is was left in the hands of the Board of Charities.

On November 25, 1940, by unan­imous vote of the Board of Chari­ties, the Welfare Department was asked to assume entire responsibil­ity for town relief, acting a s Clerk ot t he Board. This vote was taken as a result of the legally required audit of the Town's flnandos at which time it was disclosed that with tho magnitude ot present-day relief requlromonts It had Jjeen Impossible for tho Board of Chari­ties to maintain adequate finan­cial records and supporting case histories showing the need for re­lief and tho legal sett lement of re­cipients. I t was recommended by tho auditing firm that relief ad­ministration bo centralized in one town office where there would be facilities for proper investigation and the keeping of records. This responsibility was assumed by tho Welfare Department In addition to Its other duties a t vo additional expense to the town.

Under tho direction ot the Byx-beo Auditing Firm the Welfare •Department has installed a new system of administering and record­ing all town relief and statistical da ta which meets with the approv­al of the State Department of Wel­fare and Insures Branford's reim­bursement of relief by the StatcDo-par tment .

At the present .time 58 resident case, composed of 143 Individuals are receiving relief from Branford fulds. Of these, 28 cases a re local families receiving relief for maln-enance in their homes. Thirty-two individuals are being supported by the town In institutions and nurs­ing homes outside ot Brantord. Six children are boarded under tho care of the Bureau of Child Wel­fare a t town expense.

There are nineteen oases resid­ing in other towns reoeiving r e ­lief which Is legally charged to the town of Branford.

Since December Ist all cases r e ­ceiving relief from town funds have been Investigated to determine the legality of expense , and suitable records have been established for each case. TwentyTflve cases have been removed from' tovyn.-expense ei ther because relief was f o i m d i o be no longer necessary or .because legal set t lement was found to be elsewhere.

Commoii! People Solidly Behind

Defense Effort

THE Amerimn people ore brave, strong, intelligent and sounc'

in their th inking . They can be trusted. They believe in democracy. They don't need any totalitarian boss to tell them what to do.

These conclusions hnvc been drawn by Dr. George GnlUip, Direc­tor of tho Amerlean In.stltuto of Public Opinion, who for owr flvo yenrs hns becniConductiiiR surveys of Americnii public thinkliiir on so­cial, uWiticnl, 'and ceonomlc sub­jects. His rcpOrf, whlcli is published in the March issue ot Cosmoiiolilim Maciniiiie, is n vit«l document of what is Koinc on today in tho mind of Mr. and ill's. Average American.

"Tlicre is overy reason to believo that the American people are tho white hope of democracy," Dr. .Gal­lup states. "AROinst a backirroiinU ot world confusion and bioodslicd they stand out in bold relief. In their hands the future of doniociaey is Eofo. In fact the only dnnifcr is that the lenders may undercstimato tho spirit of sclf-sacriflco of tho common') people and their enpacity of inakitifr wise, decisions. Neither force of nrm.s nor fraud of lies can conquer American people's belief in themselves, in tlio country, in tho principles of democratic life."

But democracy cniinot survive on the loyally of its citizens. Us peojilo must think strnight and clearly. Tho American jicople, according to Dr. Gnllup do Just this. Oftentimes they have led their loaders. Six years ago wliiio niiiiloi'y experts ni'ffued over the necessity of planes in modern warfare, ah Institute poll was taken covcrinR a cross section of tho public. It voted nine to one in favor of n strong air force. I t was also in favor of conscription before nny major political leader advocated it,

TlirouRh tho medium of his sur­veys Ur, Gallup hns found llint tho people of this country are niakiiiK democracy work not only because they are trustworthy, intclliRcnt and.able to resist propaganda, but also because they huvO'no: class con­sciousness in tho ordinary sense of the term, '"Thoro is no 'class war' to speak of," says Gallup, "even tliouBh political opinions tend to divide nloHK income .lines. In fact nearly all Americana consider tlieni-' selves in the same social class,"

AJthoudh tho avernKo American looked on upprovinsly when tho New Deal cani6Ho power, put a curb on Wall Street and . blR ; business, and gave labor the breaks. Dr. Gal­lup points out timt this opinion lias altered, Collc(;tivc bargaining is universally favored, but tho coni-mon people of the U,S,A. would rather seo a chock on labor unions

, if a wave of strikes break out and hinder, the dcfeneo program.

"•yes," says Dr. Gallup sumniine .up hlsiarticlo, "I have faith in tho

i.conmgn people. Thci social scicntlsla , ofte^ rai.Bd..ln6sqiieaiton!-Can wo

trust the coftimon people? I think .the {question should,road:rOan tho common.people trust tho loaders?'.'

Workers are dropped when they secure private employment or when Income in the family becomes sufficient to meet expenses. Those now remain­ing on WPA as well as on direct relief are for the most par t un ­skilled or handicapped persons who are not likely to secure pri­vate employment.

Six Branford families are re­ceiving State Aid for Widow and are under the direct supervision of the Welfare Department. The law required t h a t each case be visited once a mon th and a writ­ten report sent to the State De­partment .

One hundred and sixty-three applications for Old Age Assist­ance and Aid t o the Blind have been received by ' the Welfare De­par tment to date Thirty-two of these cases have been active dur­ing the pas t month for Initial in­vestigation o r follow-up service for medical care, burial, change in the amount of award or other problems.

Only one application for the April enrollment in CCC Camp has been received this month. Appli­cations are now being accepted and j m a y be made Immediately a t the Welfare Department.

The Welfare Department super­vises a Housekeeping Aid Project for the benefit of needy families in the community. The visiting housekeepers paid by the WPA are sent into homes where such serv­ice is necessary and where fami­lies are unable to pay for private help. This service has been of great value In motherless homes, cases or Illness and other social problems.

The WPA Sewing Project works under the direction of the super­visor of the Welfare Department. The project .enjploys six relief women whose wages are paid by the WPA, saving the town the cost of their maintenance. The gar ­ments they produce are distributed by the Welfare Department to needy families who could not af­ford to buy clothing.

Thirty such problems cases are under care a t the present time.

The Welfare Department has r e ­cently been appointed to admin­ister Separation Allowances to t h e dependent relatives of men in ac ­tive military or naval service of the United States.

Three years ago, or so, I wrote of lifting "up mine eyes unto tho hills whence comoth my hcl))," when behold a flood came down tho can­yon from the Sierra Madro moun­tains and throalcned to sweep us from the map. So I paraphrased the Biblical expression to; "whence ccmcth our destruction."

In my last letter I told of the wonderful orange crop and ot tho welcome rain beyond tho normal amount. But, by tlio time I received a copy from you ot my communica­tion, so much water had fallen ,from the skies tha t 30 percent ot the oranges rind dropped, from tho trees, in this section. Storms from tho Pacidc, duo to strike the Wash­ington coast a t this time ot tho year, landed farther south, and in amount three times tho normal.

However, there is no dostltullon. The Agricultural crop last year was valued at;$52,000,000 tlio citrus por­tion alone valued at $21,'270,000.

/ ^ ^ THIS AOVEKTISEMENT is addressed to (^jKy those owners of lowest-priced cars who V ^ J / have often wished they could own a Pon­tiac, but never felt they could afford one. I ts purpose is to tell you that you can afford a Pont iac and to show you why you can;

First, Pontiac, far from being an expensive car, is aaual ly a low-priced c a r ~ i n fact, just a very few dollars more than " the lowest-priced three ." As a result, your present car will, in all probability, easily cover the down payment on a Pontine.

Second, if the size of your monthly payment is an

important i tem to you, you may easil) . i rnnge the number of piiyraents so that the amount n] each pay­ment fits your pocketbook. N o wonder former lowest-priced car owners are saying: "Monthly payments o n my Pontiac are so little more I hardly notice the difference!"

What 's more , many owners will tell you that in t h e long run , you actually/i^y no m o r e for a Pont iac —you simply invest a little more , because you will eventually get those few extra dollars back again in a higher al lowance at trade-in time! See your Pont iac dealer today!

B . W . Nelson, P rop .

TO have Paul Litchfield tell it himself, he owes his livlihood

to Christopher Columbus. Though a little kpownifact, It

was the great adventurer who dis­covered rubber on his famed voy-OBO of 1492, and for this, Mr. Litch­field, chiiirmnn of the board and formerly preaident of .the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, is hum­bly thankful. In tho rubber industry Litchfic-Id is a character of immenBe proportions and his cxtiloits make exciting material for Percy Wax-man's profile of him in the March issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine.

.Schooled nt the Massachusetts 'istitute of Technology, Litchfield

Paul Litchfield

studied 28 industries there, and dis­liked only one of them—rubber. The smell of it made him sick. But when

,ho wont lookinK for a job the only one he could find was in u rubber factory with a weekly salary of $9 and a schedule demandini; 09 hours' work. But his technical training stood him in a position of good advantage, and a t the lender age of twenty-one he was made assistant factory superintendent.

• The scorn which he received from older men working under him cre­ated an indellibic impression on his mind, and ever since he has worked to see that the youthful point of view is sympathetically heard. He has fostered the Boy Scouts of America and been duly honored by them. In the Goodyear Company today is a group of important execu­tives who began as v^ry young men in humble capacitl^g under Mr. Litchfield's guidance,"

By 1906, Waxman reports in his article, automobiles vf^rc Increasing In number, and Litchfield, who had made the first Goodyear tire, real­ized that the development of tires had not kept pace with the cairs themselves. He reasoned that the automobile would never achieve universal popularity .until the tires could stand up under the heavy grind. While delving hito the prob­lem he thought suddenly that the ideal tire should be built not to re­sist road shocks but to absorb them, Thus followed the Cord and Super-twist tires of today.

According to Waxman, Litchfield also developed the pneumatic tire for heavy trucks to replace solid tires, permitting them to increase their speed from a mere ten or fifi teen nflles an hour to thirty or forty. Thus was opened up a new era of freight transportation. Though the idea was first scoffed at, Litchfield had been true to hi< pioneer ances­try and had blazed a new trail.

Mr. W. J. Ahearn, Sports Editor The Branford Review Branford, Conn.

Dear Mr. Ahearn: I was both pleased and disap­

pointed with your fine sports sec­tion of March 20, 1941. Pleased with your fine rejjort of the thrill­ing Carnival of Champions which was by far, the most spectacular, brilliant and best run program of cage games that I ever witnessed In my 27 years of baslcetball en­terprises.

I am sorry that a report was published In a New Haven paper that the Red Devils won over the Uconns. That Is a grave mistake as you plainly explained In your column last Thursday. I want to, for the benefit of 500 loyal and AU-Amerlcan Branford sport fans who backed your swell program, explain that a mistake, but not any Intentional mistake was made. A New Haven reporter who cover­ed the game, free of charge, made the mistake in calling the Con­necticut Huskie team the Uconns. The Devils have never played any Uconns and the Red Devil publi­city department (Meaning Me) have never mentioned the word Uconns.

For the benefit of THOUGHT­LESS, who took pains to write you for any misleading advertising that you are accused of,—well forget that un-American as I know that he does not or could not come from either Branford or West Haven. I will gladly pay him back his forty cents. And in closing Mr. Ahearn, may I offer you, your fine commit­tee and especially the Connecticut Huskie quintet, my sincere con­gratulations on a Job well done by American sportsfolks.

Branford has led the state In a worthy cause which should make the fine Branford sport fans feel swell today.

At any time In the future that the Branford Battery may be look­ing for aid In any sports Venture, kindly call upon the West Haven Red Devils and I promise you we will not be found lacking. Again thanking the Branford basketball fans for their wonderful patron­age In such a worthy cause and wishing you personally the best of luck, , X am,

yours in sports,

Huge Gathering To Attend The

Boxing Dinner

In a few short monts now, grad­uating from the University of Penn., at Philadelphia, will be a medium tall, dark and handsome youth who had he so chosen might have become a fine athlete for his Alma mammy. In.stead, he limited his sporting life to one field while master of the affair which promises attending the Wharton School of to be one of the biggest things of Business Administration, one of the Its kind ever to bo held In the

The Connecticut Boxing Alliance will hold their first annual dinner at the Hotel Gardo next Monday night, March 31 at 7:30 o'clock. Arrangements are being completed to handle a crowd of four hundred ZDXlng enthusiasts from all sections of the slate.

Bob Wilson, sports editor of the Bridgeport Herald, will be toast-

colleges of the University. Now, the Wharton School Is one

of the most exacting of Its kind In the country. To matriculate at that college Is to practically graduate with a Job. Its corriculum Is diffi­cult and necessarily only those who persevere can survive. It is no wonder that an athlete, seeking to play sports shuns all reference to the Wharton School.

So the Branford youth, resolutely turning his back on a sports career which during his high school and more so In his prep school days gave promise of being more than ordinary, dropped his football as­pirations and let slide whatever hopes he might have had In a bas­ketball or baseball way. But there must be an outlet for activity and Independently he sought to play hockey.

The University of Pennsylvania does not sponsbr hockey. They feel that they cannot afford to hire a coach, buy expensive equipment, etc. There is no rink where they might have dally practice, there­fore the college has looked upon the Sport a^aij, 'drphah.' Tlie boys therhselves 'are'-ahStibus that the sport might be.accepted as.a mi­nor one and to back their opinion they have the support of 80.4 per­cent of the student body. Still, be­cause their athletic affiliations are directly related,to the Ivy League, the school feels that they cannot hope to match'their, circuit rivals and If that oah't be done there will bo no team at all.

The local boy. was born on the edge of a porid. His grandfather, and indeed his father, to a lesser extent, have spent a portion of their lives In Canada and Is not Canada the breeding ground of great Ice hookey stars? Undaunted the boy, by now you have guessed his name, Tom Ward, upon his en­trance In Pennsylvania, sought ac­quaintances who had a similar liking tor the age old sport. Out of this gathering was born the first lee iioCkey team to represent the University of Pennsylvania.! This was four years ago.

Today the Pennsylvania '"Or­phans" are basking in solitary magnificence atop the Eastern Pennsylvania Collegiate Hockey League. Their team Is captained by one Cliff Ehglei-, the '6 foot 7 Inch football tackle and boasts of the league's top scorer In Cowperwalte, a clever shot maker. BUt working with undaunted fervor, making play after play possible Is Tom Ward who has earned for himself the monicker of "The Playinaker."

Yeis, In a few short mionths, Tom Ward Is going to graduate. He has majored' In personnel mahagement. That quiet, efficient mariner of Tom's will send him far In his ohoseji field. That same Impetus which drove hlni and His mates to practice at 7:30, in the riiornlng will churn mightily for some In­dustry some dalf. A little slow on the uptake his aptitude In acquir­ing friends lies j n his friendly character. His recognition of his field In life and'hls refusal to al­low himself to be deviated from his true opurse through his liking for athletics will In' later years pay dividends, let us hope, far In ex­cess of his youthful yet heartbreak­ing sacrifices.

Butch Nalmo ,and Steve HyllnskI have already Joined the colors with the Branford Battery at Falmouth, Mass. and the others, John YusIeVIcz, erstwhile Con­necticut University star is to Join the Air Corps upon his graduation In June.

Each of these men in his' own right was a star. Nalmo performed creditably In the box all laSt sea­son. HyllnskI was a big factor in the smoothness of the Red Sox's even infield and the third man John Yuslevlcz besides being the greatest competitor In the history of the town will be lost nine times because of his ability to replace any spot which was bogging down.

Hynovich Heads High Quintet For Next Year

Six foot, one inch Tony Hynovich was elected by the 1941 basketball team to lead his mates on the court next year, at a Turkey dinner given to the Branford High basket­ball team by Otto Metz at the Com­munity House last Saturday even­ing. The entire dinner was prepared by Mr. Metz and served to a tatol of 33 players and Invited guests.

Hynovich, at the start of the sea­son was looked upon to be no great shakes as a ball player but his con­stant grit and deternjinatlon to succeed as a court player gave him the Center spot over more ex-perlentd players. Once he gained that berth he played it so well that before the season was over he was called one of the more valuable players on the squad. He likewise plays center on the football team but the sport grapevine route has It that he will be shifted to a back-tleld berth when next season roll around.

"JUST PLAIN COM? ION SUNSi:" Mrs. Thomas could make the best

light rolls of anyone In the church Society, while Mrs. Sanders was fa­mous for her fried chicken and raised chickens on her little farm at the edge of town. Mrs. Andrews, on the other hand, runs the restau rant and has a ten-gallon freezer and plenty of plans for angel food cakes. So, when the Society decided to give a community dinner to raise money for the town hospital, nat­urally Mrs. Thomas was asked to make the rolls. Mrs. Andrews the Ice cream and the Semmonds girls borrowed her pans for their won­derful angel food cakes.

It was always like this when the Society did something big. The members cooperated under the di­rection of the Entertainment Com­mittee, in the most efflcnent'way possible, and each one did what

she did best and had the equip­ment for or loaned her equipment to some one else. "Common sense," the president of the society called It. "Just plain common sense."

And'common sense It is behind what is called the Community Pool­ing Plan now being used by manu­facturers all over America to help speed defense. According to this plan the equipment, space and facll llles of every plant and factory, large and small in a certain district Is listed in a central office tor the benefit of all. Then, when the management of some company working on a defense order needs help, they go to the pooling plan bureau and look through the files. In a few minutes they find out who has the machinery or the facilities or the space needed to do the job on which they require • help. Perhaps they'll find the needed as­

sistance in some little plant they've never heard of, perhaps In some neglected corner of a larger or­ganization which didn't realize some old machine might be useful. It dosen't matter where as the manufactures of the country share information and production ability for the sake of one great objective.

Throughthls Pooling Plan, so like the church soclbty's entertainment conunlttee, the work of defense Is spread by sub-contracts through a great many organizations. Work is carried on by plants already estab­lished without transfer of workmen away from their hon>gs to strange congested cities, or the purchase of new machinery. Of course there must also be a great many new plants and hundreds of workmen shifted to the big Industrial centers but not nearly as many as would be moved If Industry had not gone in for this gigantic • pooling plan whlchis saving the country the amount of dislocation of labor which some of us remember back In 1917 and 1918.

In dictator countries, manufac­turers are forced,to work together, whether their hearts are in it or not. Here, a great free Industrial system has volunteered to cooper­ate as America moves forward on
