Benefits Will Come From Pittsfield's New Athletic Policy After several months of discussion things have come to a head in the agitation for improvement of the Pittsfield public schools coaching situation. Acceptance by the School Committee Tuesday night of its teachers' committee recommendation that head and assistant coaches be appointed means that a new system will be in full operation by fall. January, and now they are just completing the job. Eventually, three great generators will be powered by the waters of the Little Tennes-see. They will have a capacity of 201500 kilowatts.

Perhaps with the arrest of Admiral Doenitz, the suppression of the Flensberg radio station and the announcement that the trials of war criminals will begin on May 31, the idea may dawn on the Germans, high and low, that the Allies are not going to accept German disclaimers about the torture camps, absolve everyone but a few dead Nazis of all responsibility for the war, and allow bygones to be bygones.

The apparent explanation of the unworried German attitude about war crimes seems to be that Hitler's Herrenvolk have swallowed Goebbels' line that the western allies are the world's softest suckers and that there is nothing to fear from Britain and the United States. Hence the lack of sense of responsibility, of any signs of contrition on the part of the populace, and the undiminished arrogance and unabated gall shown by the Flensberg group. The latter apparently is already showing signs of adding to Grimm's fairy tales the yarn that once again the Wehrmacht was never de high instruction and competition is worth while.

A clergyman, handsome, dashing, dazzled the public for years. He was in crusades. He shone with brilliancy wherever he appeared.

The mental and moral processes of the surviving inhabitants of On the Russian side, also, there seems to be a falling-back toward prepared political positions. A new government is abruptly trotted out for Austria, a move that is not in the spirit of coalition warfare, or coalition administration. The Russians call out to us to hang the Doe-nltzes. But they do not seem to be killing Nazi generals themselves. There is a dualism in Russian policy toward Germany; it is as if while they trust themselves to handle Junkers and Nazis, they feej that, in our hands, the only safe Hitlerite is a dead Hitlerite.

How much of this is due to Russian pessimism regarding the chances for unity in this world? How much of it has just happened, a kind of disintegration, the result of action and reaction, thrust and counter-thrust? This is the way events do bump along when hope of unity dwindles; the dream of a unified world gives way to a plan for a coalitional world, which gives way to a line on a map. a a a The shock of the moment is our discovery that the end of the war in Europe poses the question, not of what is to happen to Germany, but of what is to happen to us. One realizes now what a burden President Roosevelt carried, and what it may have been that killed him; how hard it must have been to hold on to the high hope, through the clutter of day-by-day events. This is the way things happen when one lets go. The line of conflict is always the line of least resistance.

One looks toward Washington, and wonders if courage is there for another try, another flrming-up. For if the end of this conflict is to be only a line on the map, the shock around the world will be enormous; and the effect of it will be more weakening and more splintering in the west than in the east. It is nothing, he commented, "a mere scratch." Whatever he may have lacked In dramatic, exploiting quality, he made up in the substantial character of his service. does no good to think in terms of individual incidents any longer. There are too many incidents.

The incidents flood the wires, drench the papers. They are the kind of incidents which would happen if hope of unity had been given up, and If it had been decided that the Soviet world and the Western world are going to be two worlds, divided by a line on the map. Is it an optical illusion, or is Mr. Churchill executing a switch In policy, now that the war in Europe is over? He is arming and equipping up to 250,000 additional Polish troops, adherents of the Polish government in London. He has shown a strange tenderness, for an interesting number of days, toward the shadow Doenitz "government" of Germany, comfortably esconced in the Marine School at Flensburg.

He has ceased to growl about the Na-a-a-azis, and he is growling against the formation of what he calls "totalitarian and police" governments in Europe. He talks about America and Britain as sister governments, whose forces will go about the world, arm in arm, setting wrong right, but he does not) mention the third sister. Are these but shadows on a screen, the unrelated phenomena of a transition period, or are they more; are they reflections of a hard core of policy, somewhere at the center of events? As for us, in Amrica, we have cut off lend-lease to Russia, which can be justified by the terms of the law; but the British, whom we supply, are supplying a new Polish army which is not intended for the Pacific. We have become much more interested in obtaining the friendship of such nations as Argentina, rather than, say, of Czechoslovakia. It is as if we, too, had been Yet even if it isn't, it should be a source of community satisfaction that the deficiencies in the system have been pointed out and Many other successions in pulpits illustrate the reluctance of the public to cast off the Germany have had their natural obtuseness so aggravated by Nazi propaganda that they cannot imagine why the citizens of 1 ri 1 a glamour of the old for the plod corrective suggested and adopted.

As at other TV A projects, this will include a handsome, glass-enclosed gallery at the top of the dam, an Incline railway to the powerhouse at the bottom and a special viewing platform where visitors may watch the operating crew at work. It is possible that the present work camp will be converted into a tourist center to be run after the war by a private firm.

The lake that is forming behind the dam will provide fishing and boating in a setting that rivals the beauty of the Norwegian fjords. Forest-covered mountains come steeply down to the water's edge. Just now, masses of blooming laurel shine out through the dark foliage at the roadside. The reason TV A spends time and money carefully developing viewing galleries is because of the conviction that every citizen is a stockholder in the project and entitled to see how his money has been spent. Not every one can take advantage of TVA's low cost power, but they can see the great works which TV A has built.

When the war is ended, all of TVA's power will be at the service of the development of the region. We stopped at several farms where, for $6 to $9 a month, not only lighting but a great deal of the heavy work is done by electricity. That will go on. It is at the base of the TV A idea.

PetungUl has specineci materials lost to Germany in the land taken: Petroleum, coffee, lead, gold, aluminum clays, tin, nickel, chromite, tungsten, mercury, phosphate, sulphur, rubber, coffee, cotton, wool, adding (this was in 1940) that in Germany 85.000,000 people were living upon an area of 263.000 square miles which is as If our whole population were crowded into Texas. We should also recall that the German delegates who came to sign the treaty were compelled as a condition of its passing to acknowledge the "total guilt" of Germany in regard to the war.

The falsity of On the contrary, those legislators who advocate a stringent sales tax seem to us to be honest and courageous. If a bonus is to be given the veterans, it should be paid for by all the citizens of the state, and not simply by those willing to take a chance. The device of raising the money by a lottery seems to us a baldheaded attempt of i certain legislators to eat their cake and have it. It is a device to receive credit for generosity while avoiding the unpleasant duty of levying taxes to provide the funds. If the citizens of Massachusetts favor the bonus, they should be willing to stand their share and not endorse an arrangement that puts the burden on the optimistic both in and out of the state.

It is true that a sales tax is unfair in that it puts a disproportionate part of the tax burden on those of modest means. Furthermore, if a sales tax is introduced to finance the bonus, it will be retained to finance something else. It would be difficult to repeal a tax which would bring in such a large revenue. But a sales tax would be a better precedent to set than a state lottery. At least, it would not cater to a common human failing and set the pace for every just paid such a magnificent tribute.
