their National coiiveiitious.

Comment and Criticism of Local Intferest from Various Publlciitlons

we vote, iintil time to vote aga in .

Ill this enieial election of T,MI there a re appear ing , week by

\vcck, new signs and imrlenis of a g rowing elTort to divide u s in to

classes, and then to a r ray class agains t class. No las t ing good can

come to America from iieh a inoveinent, as its proponents indubi tably

know. There a r c two main seginenls of our national ccononiy, however,

who will not be tr icked into believing tha t they are classes unto themselves and thus dividiMl—the eonn t ry ' s farmers and its tinsiness-meii. In t-wo state-wide Karin & Industry conl'erenees—first in Illinois and more recently in vMississi|)|)i—they liavi' seen and avowed their intordepeiulcnec as pr imary in-odueers. in full and f rank discussion, s i t t ing down together , they bavo eoniprebended tha t tlieir future de­velopment and siieecss—so vital to a be t t e r America—dc|ieiid upmi the solution of the siiini! basic cu r ren t iiiul |iosl.wiir problems.

WAR ON WAR ' k M E ' • (Boston Herald)

When Ropresontntlve cannon of Missouri can nil iilnc pages of the Congresslpnal Record with explo­sive letters of protest against day­light saving, the war time that we have had tor the last two years be­gins to look less secure. An analy­sis of the 200 or so objections re­veals no new arguments . The cows stlU do not like to be milked early, the dew Is on the fields, children have to be routed out of bed In darkness and decline to retire In daylight, a hour of cool sleeping is lost l\T. hot wathcr, pupils have to wait tor the school buses in chlU darkness, and, as one correspon­dent declared, "The world has been all wrong since wo had daylight saving."

When the bill to put the nation on war time was being considered, the chairman of the Pederal Power Commission estimated tha t It would save between 2 and 3 per cent, In the peak electric power load. There Is Utllq reason to.doubt tha t I t , h a s been an etiectlve fac­tor In enabling the Industry to meet the wnr-tlme demands with­out rationing. We came, so close to an acute shortage tha t even 2 per cent loomed large.

Many of the objectors to war time have contended t h a t the pow­er saving was Illusory, slncd- In winter an extra hour 's use In the morning wiped out aiiy afternoon gain. But the total 24-hour con­sumption of electricity was not the problem. The dllflculty lay In meot-

I'lng the peak loads, and this has been relieved.

There, Is no Indication that ,we have now so safe a margin of pow­er tha t we can end daylight sav­ing. After the war wp ought to be able to contrive a modined system which win give the urban workers their priceless hour of evening daylight and permit the rural workers to pursue their activities In harniony with the cows, the chickens, and the dew.

A dramat ic painting by an Army art is t is being distributed through out the Nation in the form of a six-color poster to promote the re­cruiting of Army nurses.

The painting, executed in wasli and tempera by Technician Fourl'n Grade Steele Savage, of the Re­cruiting Publicity Bureau, U,' S-Army, depicts a t i t ian-haired nurse against a backdrop of march­ing men and bat t le-shat tered buildings.

It is only fitting h a t a soldier should have painted the poster which pays tribute to Army nurses. On every front, in field surgeries, in evacuation, station and general

hcspitals, on hospital ships and in air ambulances, Army nurses a re caring for sick and wounded Amer­ican soldiers.

The combination of excellent medical care, blood plasma, sulfa drugs and tetanus toxoid Is saving lives daily. Army nurses are play­ing major roles in trrls war, but many more of, them are urgently needed.

THE SONG

By Mary C. Paul

John Ashton was sitting quietly behind t h e prison bars, Occasion-aly he wculd rise and nervously r u n his gaunt fingers through his close-cropped dark ha i r ; Ills blue eyes gazing unseelngly before him. He would stand still listoiiing, but he knew The Song would no longer have pcwer over him, I t had raised havoc with his life. Strange, though it was such a beautiful Cong, it roused the dormant devil within him. Time wa.s short and he suddenly crossed the ro:m to the bars with the grace of a spider.

"What is 11-, Bud?" asked the guard, regarding the short man condescendingly.

"I haven ' t much time, Please, give me some paper and a pencil. I want to write a letter,"

When the paper was given to him, he hurried to the bench and wrote with a furious rapidity. "Dear Mem,

Up until the last I have hesitaetd to set my extraordinary experience on paper. When you read what I write, you will understand why this is' so. You see, 1 know I'm a lifeless m a n , for I liave been chos­en to walk in evil. Not the evil v;illi which ray last crime was com­mitted. T h a t was done to end this wicked" reign over me. The other crimes were of an accidental na­ture, Mom, but I ccminittcd them.

. Please, Mom, before I go further t ry to unders tand t h a t there were t imes I felt this power had left me, but it would always return to me, and, like a leech, take away my goodness. That ' s v/hy I refused to become a minister. You'see, I was p a r t of everything against church­es, I knew this power would always grasp out and pull me down in its pit of blackness and flamed

I am not under a s t rain. Mom, nor am I insane, I never was in­sane, I was chosen to walk the ear th in innocence, wrapped in a cloak of evil. Maybe I'm not in control of the way I must leave, maybe The Power forced my hand to do away^ with me, because par t of me is good. I t can ' t s tand good­ness. I tried again and again to repel it, but to no avail.

Here,' Mom, Is the way it all started. Remember the time, shor t ­ly after Dad died, t ha t , we visited Uncle Josh on his banana p lan ta ­tion? Tha t is where it all started, I was only five then; but t ha t was when I t became my master. You liad gone outside with Uncle Josh, while I was amusing myself v/ith his victrola. I was quietly listening to The Song, enjoying its beauty. I was terrified to see a tarantu la spider approaching nie, I knew I shouldn' t have moved, but this didn' t seem to be a n earthly spid­er—this one was different, I seemed to glide to the s t ra ins of this heniitiful song The Song which

instigated ail my ("accidental") crimes. The spider wits fast a p ­proaching me so I jumped upon it, and crushed it. I felt it ' squash under my feet.

You found me outside hi terror and I brought you in to see I 'killed it, but you couldn't find it. Uncle Jcsh said the native maid lifid pro­bably swept it out. But nobody swept, it outi You see, It wasn't a n earthly creature.

For a long time I wasn't myself and we returned home sooner, be ­cause the Doctor told you I was approaching a breakdown of some sort and tha t a quiet- rest a t our country home would help me. I t did help and for a while I was my­self, but only for several years.

You said I always looked odd whenever I heard The Song on the radio. I did. I felt queer, and a l ­ways someone would switch it oft.

Then one day It became my mas ­ter again. In my last year of high school we had a music recital and Suzanne Barton played it on the piano. I didn't hear it In my good self, for I could see the ta ran tu la gliding up the aisle toward me, but I didn' t move, even though I was filled with terror. Then The Song ended and the spider vanished,

I walked Suzanne home tha t night and we stopped at the little bridge to watch the whirlpool be­low. Others were walking by too, I could hear The Song in rhythm with the churning water and then when Suzanne was leaning over the rail, I pushed her In. She drowned in the whirlpool. An "ac­cidental dea th" they called it, but I did it. I loved her, Mom, and The Power was jealous of my love for her. I t wanted me to Itself, so Tt made me destroy her,

I couldn't get her out of ,my mind for a long time. Anyway, not until I met sal ly Peters while I was a t college.

We were at a party and when I walked her home I heard The Song again and saw the ta ran tu la glide toward me on the mnonlit pa th . Sally and I had become engaged, you know. She had forgotten some­thing and we returned to our friend's home to fetch it. I t pos-essed me while we were a t the

head of the stairs. Then, I tripped her, causing her to fall headlong down the stairs. She died of a broken neck. "Accidental" they called it.

Then I felt I could master It by becoming a minister, but i t was no use. The Power was my master; I could never repel It.

The next "accident" was Timmle next door. Seeing The Power wouldn't allow me a woman to love, I decided I would never again become interested in them. I didn' t want any one else I loved die by ray hand. Poor Tlmmio, He fell out of an apple tree we had climbed, Just after h e had begun, to whistle The Song, For a moment I saw the ta ran tu la gliding up the branch and Llion f pu.';licd him off, .

Oh, Mom, I became tired of these accidents", but I Jcept on, I stopped cor.ipanlonship with

lUinaiis and bought Lauth, my cautlful Collie But t h a t ended lie same way, I heard The Song md saw the si)lder one hot sum-aor day while I was pitching hay, .iilcd him t'.o, I "accidentally" an the pitchfork through him. Oil, I hated this evil companion

if mine, wlilch turned a most jcaulifui song to a song of death.

I never told you any of these iilngs, because I would be judged nsane and I didn' t want to spend lie rest of my days in an Instltu-ioii, where I could hear The Song iiid sec tha t tarantula for the rest >! my life.

The The Power outplayed Its .land, Mom, You ' see, you were icxt. I loved you too much. But I ,vouldn't do it, Mom, I wouldn't clll you! I was helping you with -he dishes when Myra Collins, our neighbor, came in humming The Song. I saw the spider gliding across the kitchen floor, but I rushed outside.

That night I committed by first crime without the accompaniment, of The Song and' . the ta rantu la , I stalked into Jelf' Collins' store, held him up and shot him to death. That ' s why I'm here, Mont. I want to die. I can't go' on being a life­less man. I'm happy, because you were spared. I feel t r iumphant , because I t couldn' t -make mo take your life. You scc^ with you gone, there would be no one left. I would be completely enslaved.

I'm sorry for the kind of life I had to live. Mom, but I was power­less to stop it. I didn't have a life of my own to live.. The Power took It tha t day in the ' tropics. I was Its slave.

So, you see, Mom, If I ever told this to any9ne before, I would be judged Insane, I (louldn't live with I t always near mc.

Please forgive me, Mom, If you can. You will understand, I 'm sure. You've done your, utmost for me, but I wasn't wholly your son. I was cheated of m'y.life.

How I happened to be heading for tlic beach a t Salerno in a Duck" an hour ahead of the Brlt-

w.tn-c badly in need of practice in making landings such as they were soon going to have to make nl Sic­ily and Italy. It was our Job to llnd si'ich. North African beaches as would be suitable tor such practice landings, and chart their chan ­nels, shoals, bars, etc. Without a knowledge ot these things, it is

their position. There we were "In lire middle" witii our three "Uue,k.s"

We passed the ii.ssaiiil craft go­ing in as we made our way to the LCI to make tnir rciiort. Our re­port was made lo the Beach Mas-

iter. Our "Duck" tlien turned around and followed the LCI with

ea.sy lo lo.se a lot of men and m a - i ().,(, commande r of the Task Force Icrials unnecessarily. j aboard into the beach. Our par ty

Our original delachment had ajns.slstccl tho Beach Battalion In Chief and five men, a survey par-!jj^(|_|„|. up the Command Post and i ty. Later, it was expanded to three Ensigns and twelve men. We star­ted the job with small craft, mak­ing hand soundings with leads, but it wasn't very satisfactory. Finally, we persuaded our Commanding OlTlcer to let us try the job with •Ducks," usinB sonic depth sound­ing devices. Then, we really begun to get results.

In fact, the results were so good, and could be obtained so quickly, tha t we .suggested to on rsitperiors t h a i "Ducks" be u.sccl lo go ahead ot the first shore parties in the Italian invasion and cha r t the landing bleaches in the same way., Our suggestion was accepted and first put into practice in Sicily.

In Uw pitch lilaek of a windy

digging foxholes for the .stalV. I t 's impos.slble to begin lo put in words what t ha t Solcrno bencli was reni-iy liice t h a t morning.

Behind tiie sandy beach there were orchards thiit were a tangle of trees and vines, with cane-brakes a t the edges. Machine gun and rifle lire came Irom this iiloal cover, and froni the liiUs the big ;iielis from the lid's were coming

every minute. Tlic biiach "lad been :o linavUy mined 11 took a long

t ime tor tho .sajipers with their de ­lecting lieviccs to clear a safe path lor the tanks iTval liad managed to gel ashore.

The tanks had landed, on the beach across the river from tlio Command I'osl. I'resenlly a run-i n 1>(H- J J l u i - H . , , . . , . . . .^ w . — -

night off Gela, men in the Beach L,^^ p,^,,-,,, (,„ u,,, p(,s|,, bringing Battalion relied off the r amp of an I v„o,.d t i ia l the tanks were desper

utely short of amnuinltion. Oll'-.shorc was tin i L C T . b o a t , loiHlcd with ammunitloii , t ha t had been hit with a shell r ight on the gal­ley and was burning. The Dcach Battalion Commander asked It wc could salvage a load ot ammunit ion fi-om It and get it lo the tanks.

Tile lire wa.-i threatening to get into tile ammunition when we

LST, and drove their "Duck" out into waves t h a t were rolling ten feet high. If you don't th ink those "Ducks" can take it, you should talk' to some of those men who rode in them tha t night .

Here's the .story as they told It to us. In an - unbelievable short .space of time, thi.s Beach Battailbn delaelnnent had charted tho elian-ncls and set up markers. One .of the Ensigns had discovered some-Ihlng, too, t ha t I like to think may have saved many a .soldier from drowning tha t night. One hundred and lifty yards from shore their "Duck" ran up on a sand bar with only two feet of water over it- But almost immedialeiy it plunged into deep water again—water eight lo ten feel deep. I f . the landing boats had unloaded on tha t bar, and the boys had started to wade a s h o r e -well—they'd have had some mighty deep wading.

But the job the "Ducks" had lo do was just beginning. For tho.se first two days a t Gela, it was touch and go whether the landing was going to be successful or not. There was a reception committee of three German motorized divisions, and a lot of German aircraft as well.

The main secret of .success in a landing such as this is to get a lot of men and materials a.shore FAfiT-T h a t was the beauty ot the "Ducks" We could go out lo a .ship, get a load of ammunit ion and head back for tho .shore. But we didn't have to unload our ammunit ion on the, beach like the boats did. We could take it right up to the men or tanks t ha t needed it.

Perhaps you think I am loo en-thusia.stic about the "Ducks." Per­haps, but their performance had at t racted the at tent ion of .some people who are very much on the conservative side. The BrllLsh nad watched them closely, and shortly before the Invasion of Italy, prep­arat ions were made to use "Ducks" operated by a small detachment of Navy personnel which Included men from the Bea;ch Battalion and myself.

Our task was to char t inc beaches a t Salerno tor LST land­ings, permtssion v/as obtained and we were ordered to report to the Commanding Officer of the Erilisb iForce. I was the only enlisted man to a t tend his meeting along with our Beach Battall6n officers and Amphibious Staff Force. Here we studied the map and got a thor­ough picture of the intended nlTs-sion with all its ramifications. Now we knew why the; British had ob­served us so closely.

reached h e .ship, bu t wc mniiaged to get live hundred rounds of 75 mm amniunllloh nnd we made It back to the shore. With the ni i i -ner who had come from the tnnk.s as n Buldc, we sot out to Ihid them. The British had driven the Oer -iimns back a little ways' by this time aiul wc got into the orchards and started hunting for the tanks. Being able to slcer clear of the roads and stay In the cover of the orchsirds was what saved us.

But wo couldn't find the tanks . Finally we halted, cnmounngcd the "Duck" ns well as wo could with branches, and I took a tcmuiy gun and set out lo Hud the tanks. Ar-ler walking about Imlf a mile, I found them. I'll never turgct the surprised look on tlinl Englisli t ank coinmantler's face. The sight ot a lone Scabee walking In there was too much for him. He even asked me tor my Identillcnllon card. And he could hardly believe It when 1 told him 1 hail a "Duck" load of nminunltlon for him. We anally got the "Duck" back up to him and delivered the amnuinltion

When we got back to the Conv-mand Posl there w a s another job waiting for us. About a mile nnd a hull onshore was a disabled LCT boat, loaded with supplies. We went out i\nd secured It wiUi our winch line. Tiieii, u,sing the "Ducit's" enuhie to operate I r l l i propellor ami winch, wc .succeeded in lowing the LCT toward shore. When our "Duck" reached the beach, we locked the wheels, and iLScd the winch to pull the LCT' the rest of the way in. Tlie LCT boat Is llO feet lung, but the "Duck" bi-ought it in.

Fijr the next live nights wo car­ried loads each way, supplies up to the llring lines and woundijd men back lo the beaches. We could carry eight strelciler oases iiisido anti could carry liulf a do/.on .slightly wounded men on the front of the "Duck". Tho battle .swayed back and forli with attack and cminleraltack. Finally wc got .some air support and the Fifth Army's approach helped drive liio Gor-muns hack.

On ilic lifth day, some Liberty ships came up loaded with cargfjes they liad expected, t o ] deliver In the port ot Salerno. But Salerno was .still tho .scone of,bit ter fight-iug, with the town changing hands freiiuenliy. I t was imperative to get tlic cargoes ashore. Ju.st .south 01 Salerno llierc seemed to be a

j chance. I-ligh clUte along shore would offer the ships protoction from the Oerman'ar t i l lery back In tlie hills, and there was a narrow beach where munit ions might bo landed.

'I'ho Beach Battalions were asked to U.SC one of their "Ducits" to in­vestigate tho beach and tho po.ssl-billties of such a landing. They knew the beach was undoubtedly mlnde, but believed they could lo­cale them. Probably thye could have If they had taken their time. But they noon discovered t h a t the Germans had thought ol every-liiing. High angle mortars hud been set up, and began lo drop sliells on the beach from almost a vertical angle, and the cliffs af­forded no protection whatever against them. They had to get out of there in a hurry. The "Duck" wiiirled around a sand dune—and a vehicle mine exployed under the left rear v/heel.

One of the men, a Machinist Mate, was sitting on the radiator on the right front side of the "Duck," carrying a tommy gun ana watching for sniiiers. The ek-plosion of a heavy charge of TNT virtually lore off the rear end of the "Duck." The dilver was partly protected by the metal sea l back, but .suffered severe , head and shoulder wounds.

The Machini.sl Mate landtjd In the ,sand on his back 2.5 feet away with his left arm doubled under him. Members of a Brlllsh arliilery buttery near by heard the explo­sion ad came to do wha t they' could for him. He was la ter taken to a field iiospital.

This all look place about noon while, by erov/ and "Duck" • were handling supplies farther South. In the meantime, tho th i rd "Duck' got a direct hit from an 88 mm German shell.

The luck of our "Duck" held out and we were on the Salerno beach ten days altogether v/hen we final­ly returned to Bizerte. There, I continued lo teach crews of Beach Battalions until October, when T returned lo the r)4lh Battalion, and then home in December.

• THE BRANFORD REVIEW, BRANFORD, CONN., APRIL 20, 1044

IT'S never too toon to teach your 'teen-age daughter the firat atepB in practical homemakini;. Today, with the need (or clothes coniorvn-

tion, it 's especially important that she know how to niakc her clothes last longer by Ironing and pressing them pi-operly.

Many simple devices for prolonging the life of clothes are available, In stares today. Among these is a new pres-mit, used a s a tailor's J cushion when pressing gathered sleeves, curved seams, and other hard-to< Kct-at places. Still another important pressing aid, shown on the ironing board, Is a chemically-treated pres-cloth which gives a revitalizing slum prtit to all types of fabrics. Both of these are especially easy for chil­dren to use. -- "

WINFIELD R. MORGAN, " Notary Public

At a mcetint; of the Slate Execu­tive ComniiUoe of the CiiiincTlieut Young Republicans, held in Har t ­ford Monday niyiit, Walter Nor-wa.sh, President, announced t h a t Congressman Joseph Talbot of Nau-gatuek would he tiic toaslmaster al the banciuet of the Ninth An­nual Convenllon of the Connecti­cut Young rtepublicans, which will bo lield in Hartford, on May 12 and 13.

The decision to hold the amuuil convention lhi.s year was arrived at several weeks ago by llie Execu­tive Committee. While the Com­mittee recognized the difl'lcultiea of nuni lng a convention under war­time rostrictions, and with so many club members in the armed forces, it \ias fell tha t the younger ele­ment in the Reiiubllcan Pai-ty should bo given an opportunity to express their oiiinions, considering Hie fact that both State and Na­tional elections will" bo .held this year. The success o[ the 1043 edn-vcnllon held iiiuler similar circum­stances v,'as a deciding factor in this dcci.slon.

Ml'. Norwash appointed Fred Zel-ier, Slate Comptroller, General

Cha innan several weeks ago, and ' announced the apjioinlraent ol various Commilteo Chairman. Among those were Judge Norman Ycllin of l la r t tnrd , as c h a h m a n of llTo Banciuet Conimittee; Mrs. Anna Mac Swltaski, of New Britain, Stale Central Cominittcewoman from the Sixth Senatorial District, Chairman of the Credentials Com­mit tee; Herbert Korn, East Haven, Registration; .Joseph' McCarthy, Slallord Springs, Publicity; Allan P. Shepard, Muldletown, Ticket Committee; Attorney Arnold Vogt, New London, Chairman of the Res­olutions Committee; A. Vail Smith, Soiners. Sargcant -a t -Arms; and Alyce Slate, of Hartford, Chairman of the Reception Committee.

Mr. Zcller est imated t h a t be­tween 300 and 350 would at tend the taanquel a t the Hotel Bond on Sat­urday night, May 13. Final ar­rangements are being made to have a . nal lonally-known Republican make the principal address. Invi­tations have been issued lo Gover­nor Raymond E. Baldwin and oili­er stale olllcers. Including the Con­necticut Republican congressmen' in Washington. I t Is expected tha t several of these will be called upon to speak, whicii .speeches may re­veal the Republican i,ssues which will be emphasized during the com­ing campaign.

P'rom tlip interest already .'diown, it is exiicctcd tha t there will be. several sfcnrmy session.s of tiie Res­olutions Commiltoe. There are al­ready indlcallon.s lliat .several reso-iution.s on foreigii and domestic policy will bo submitted lo the Res­olutions Gommitlee and t h a t the

Committee will devote much of its lime lo tiiose subjects.
