I'M NATIONAL INTEREST IN THIS PRIMARY The contest in which Hamilton Fish, isolationist hluo-bloud, meets Augustus -A, Bt'iiiuitt, small town Jawyoi-, in Congressional primary eloctiun today, has moi-o tlian local inti.Tcst. The Now York Herald-Tribune's S. Bird observes that, it "is enlisting more interest in high places in some ol' (he key i'arui districts where it will bo decided." National interest arises because Mr. Fish, whoso isolationism is well known, is running; 1'or liis thirteenth C'ungros- sional term nnd will, it' victorious, fall heir, on the basis ot' seniority, to the Chairmanship the Mouse En IPS Committee should the Kopublicaius win a majority in the Lower'House no.vt Prominent cit throughout tho nation and Now York state have been urging the defeat ol' Mr. Fish.

Tho fanners of Rofkland. Delaware and Orange counties in the 29th Congressional, district, of New York will decide the political faro of Mr. Fish. lie lias given small local problems a good Uofil of careful attention through the yours, and one may doubt the extent to which his neighbors will consider his record oiriiiternatioTial questions. They may a 'little sore at all the fuss outsiders are stirring up about who's going to represent them, resent Mr.

Hennett as an outsider's candidate and vote Mr. Fish back instead. Govonior Dewey has made it clour that personally he is opposed to Fish. The however, has stated that he intends to vote for Dewey and Bricker for president anil vice-president, respectively. Mr.

Fish, nn old campaigner, is leaving the question of his nomination up to the voters of his district to decide. His emidklacy has- recoivoi'1 so much publicity Unit the result of the voting is being awaited with keen interest all over the nation. 20 Years Ago William Ulrick, Stanley Drognlck, Stanley Ban- durskl, and Martin Paloski, Metropolitan Insurance Co. employes in Naugatuck, started their unnual vacations.

Jade fill this Kpace every Monday and Wednesday lK- (nninr Looking at Life By ERICH BRANDEIS A Buffalo judge has just ren- dci-ed a decision- be of the most far-i-eaching importance to the life of our nation. A woman war worker has accused her husband of xlcaling $300 from her and hailed him into court. According to tOie complaint, she had lying up her slacks when going to bed and Jic. had gone through them and taken out the money. The 'judge dismissed the complaint and the defendant.

He ruled that "the old law that one party to a marriage cannot be guilty of larceny of the other's property, is reciprocal," and -commen-todd: "The court judicial notice that from time immemorial it has been the custom of the wife to dip her hands pockets of. her husband." So, by the same reasoning, 3)c went on, a. husband has the sa7ne right in respect to his wife. Well, that is a Jaarned judge's opinion, but it isn't mine. I have never believed that marriage is the end of individual rights and particularly the end of individual privacy.

Oh yes, I know, there is aji old theory that marriage makes two people one, but that doesn't work out in practice. Two people can, never lose tVieir ndividuality, can never be happy when every possession, every thought, every action of becomes the property, of I kr.ow so many married people who think nothing of opening other's mall. Personally I would never of opening my wife'a mail more Ulan she would If she wants to me Jn a letter she received, on her own account.

And do you know why it so well with us. and squally else who lives Buffalo judge with anyone same way? Because we h.ivc fldence in other! If we wo wouldn't stay together for i other hour.

GET RID OF RAGWEED The season on rag'weed, which is said to be the most important cause of hay 1'evor in Connecticut, lasts from about August JO lo October 1, or until early I. Tho pollen can be eradicated by pnll- up (lie ragweed by their roots before the plants have chance to blossom and send their pollen into the air. The common variety of ragweed grows in gardens, vacant lots and wherever there is freshly tunii'd earth. It is well to loom how to recognixe the plants-and to take an active 1 part in community efforts to destroy them.

Hay fever sufferers will forever appreciate anything and everything done to remove the cause of one.of the most distressing maladies which afflict a great manv Iintnans. CHECK RACKET Another sl.iniy way to get money from honest folks, who have earned it now comes to light. The thief's method is to check, present it, as "identification" to a social security office, saying lie has no At first ho was believed, was issued in tin- name of the check's payee. Then the check was pre- at a st.range bank, with the social security card as identification. At first some banks cashed thpm.

Banks and social security offices both wiser, and toiighor now, but the general public should be forewarned. There are too many rackets. Tt seems obvious, by this time, that circus tents should be fireproofed. Peter P. Rybinski, son of Mr, and Mrs.

The other Mrs. Douglas is Emily Taft' Douglas of Illinois, not so dramatic as Helen "but very neatly done with piquant nose, bright eyes, concave good legs and a determination to make American women conscious of the place of the United States in the "international teamwork." "Look cozier, you two," called the photographers to the sister act. The sister act, Douglas and Gouglas, clasped hands and sparkled with intelligence and good will.

"With 10 million men in the Army and Navy there will be more votes cast by women than men in-the coming election.

The importance of women 'bumbledom very thin." This remark was meant, I think, to refer in some way to the congressman from Connecticut whom I hasten to add Democratic committee is out to Clare Luce in a big or little way. Mrs, J. Borden Harr'man, former United States minister to Norway, looking as elegant and straight- backed as ever, was also on view and spoke freely about women at the peace table and other subjects and-she said it's "a slTame to have me around when 1 am over 70 and there are all those lovely, smart, young women about." The lovely, smart, young women were there, too. Especially national committee secretary, Mrs. Dorothy McElroy Vredcnburgh, slightly shy in public but knowing in her own way.

On these starry-eyed occasions pleasant attention will be called to the "fists" of Democratic women beginning way fiack in 18G9 when a Democratic councilman in Wyoming introduced the bill that nrst gave American women the right to vote.

U. Trade Gains Seen As Lasting After The War BV UOBERT S. WALTERS L'niU-d Stan" Correspondent Washington Wartime trade shirts, including grcatei commerce between the United States and Portugal, are likely to extend into the period of peace according to Dr. Joao Antonio dc Biomchi, Portuguese Ambassadoi to the United States. Dr.

dc Bianchi, who has been.his country's minister here nearly 11 years, recently was raised to rank of ambassador in recognition of the growing importance of relations between the United States and Portugal. The war has stepped up trade between the two countries. According to Dr. dc Bianchi. U.

S. products have done much to maintain his country's economy. Cnxlitx Mount in 1). S. Imports from the United States have included coal, wheat, newsprint nnd lubricants.

Portugal has sent this country cork, sisal (fiber), wines and brandy. Portugal will be in a solvent position after the war, Dr. deBi- anchi said. She -has piled up substantial balances in the United States and Britain as a result of wartime commercial transactions. She also has become a communications bridgehead in Europe, a position she hopes to maintain.

Dr. dc Bianchi believes that airways may make the Atlantic "a greater Mediterranean" after the war and that Portugal is likely to proiit as a result of that develop mciH. along with the UniteJ States, Britain and other countries. He pointed out that Lisbon, together with New York and Rio de Janeiro, is part of an j'mportsat air-route triangle and that Azores have value as a stop-ovtr point. Colonies Developing The Ambassador said Portugal hopes for increased t(- volepmenui in her colonies ahe the war.

These have such variti resources as beeswax, sugar, coffee and fish. He noted possibilities of tuna have been studied in Angola. That colony and Mozambique, he said, doubtless wii! need tractors, railway and automotive equipment once the ends. Plans for the said, include development of clectne power and mineral resources and expansion of the industry. Portugal also hopes to modernize her small merchant marine after the war.

All indications that U. Portuguese trade, which has show's a marked increase in recent yean, continue to flourish in pcace- Dr. de Bianchi asserted. i a 1 ties have strengthened and show asting, he said. NOTICE!
