A two-page spread showing swimming, dancing and other recreational activities implements the general impression that life can be beautiful indeed if one works on a shade tobacco farm. An indelible mark of the totalitarian state is one-party government. Only party -or party-approved men may hold office in the state, and the big shots of the party double as big shots of the state. This totalitarian custom has characterized Nazi Germany since 1933. Yesterday came the first hint of its end.

The German radio announced, in Hitler's name, a decree ordering Nazi party district leaders to give up their jobs in local government. The reason given was that "in these difficult times" the party's job was to look after the people, and that on top of this the tasks of local administration were too much for the party worthies to bear. Immediately there was speculation in London that the decree meant that, just The only troubling aspect about this brochure is whether the' conditions it Subscription Rates Payable in Advance Daily, one vear 112 00 Sunday, one rear 16 00 Six months 6.00 Six months 3 00 Three months 3 00 Three months 150 One month 1 00 One month JO Dally and Sunday, one rear 118.00 Six months 9.00 Three months 4.50 One month 150 Postage extra to foreign countries Carrier Collect Dally only, one week 24c Sunday only, one week 12c Dally and Sunday, one week 36c Subscription payments and changes of address should be directed to the Business Department of The Hartford Courant. open week days from 8am to 5 and holidays from 8 a to 12 noon portrays are typical or atypical.

In Germany there no longer was a Western Front. The armored spearheads of the French, American, British and Canadian Armies all advanced, some of them a hundred miles. The hopes that soared a week ago with the beginning of the advance beyond the Rhine were in the process of realization. All along a three-hundred-mile front, from Bremen near the North Sea down to Karlsruhe, gateway to the Black Forest in the South, Eisenhower's powerhouse drive advanced. It met resistance that was fierce in spots, but there was no longer an organized German front.

The battered but industrially vital Ruhr area, manned by an estimated 150,000 Nazi soldiers including some of their toughest divisions, was definitely sealed off by units of the First and Ninth American Armies. Sporadic attempts to break out were beaten back. Far to the east deeper within Germany other units of the First Army were punching beyond Kassel. South of them, and still farther east, Pat-ton's hard-hitting Third Army made the greatest advance of all, reaching out toward the Czechoslovak border and to the Russian lines on the. other side of Germany.

To the convinced Nazi the political consequences of defeat are not what they seem to us.

He looks toward a resurgence of Nazi might after the chaos that Is to follow our military victory. This interpretation also checks with the increasing smoke screen of rumors coming out of Germany, all heralding a Nazi twilight of the gods in the picturesque and peaceful mountains of southern Germany.

And whatever truth there may be in the rumors, there does seem little else for the cornered Nazis to do but to fight it out from the southern mountains as guerrillas. It will be best if, while looking forward to this development, we count on nothing until it happens. The Nazis will take no action except in their own Interest, and yesterday decree is no exception. But whatever its exact significance, it cannot be anything but a sign of the coming political disintegration of the Nazi state. For that we can be grateful.

How any property owner could keep meadow lots, brush lands and even ordinary lots free of poison ivy was not explained by the health officer or any other member of East Hartford's Board of Health. The worst feature of the whole subject matter, however, was the misrepresentation, deliberate or otherwise, of the notice given to the public as to the purport of the ordinance. Had ths public been Informed, as-it should have been, of entire contents of the proposed ordinance, the hearing room would not havs been able to hold the citizens who would have appeared in opposition.

So far-reaching were the week's advances that everyone asked how Germany could hold out longer. There were hints and rumors from within that the Nazi command had given up hope of defending the' Reich, and was preparing for party and personal rather than national resistance.

Cox, and they call for an expenditure considerably in excess of the revenues now available to the Highway Department.

There is nothing fanciful or flossy about the program that has been laid down for the next five years, which is merely a realistic approach to the problem of how best to deal with the greatly increased burden of traffic requirements. This five-year construction program is estimated to cost $68,700,000. Sources of present revenue will provide only Thus an additional $19,000,000 will have in some way to be supplied. The easiest, simplest, and least burdensome way is through an increase of 1 cent a gallon in the gasoline tax, which is conservatively estimated to yield $20,000,000 in the next five years. Not Connecticut citizens alone, but all out-of-State users of our highways would pay an additional cent for every gallon of gasoline they buy here.

It is figured that this additional tax will cost the average motorist about $7 a year, a relatively small item in his total annual cost of $444 for car operation. Prior to the war, this same average motorist spent $125.67 a year for gasoline. A 4-cent instead of a 3-cent tax would therefore increase his expenditure for motor fuel to $132.67, a not too high price to pay for the benefit of better and safer highways. Of course it is to be expected that with the lifting of all restrictions on automobile travel, highway revenue will increase under the 3-cent gasoline tax, but even so, as the figures previously cited indicate, that would not provide enough money to give the State the improved highways it greatly needs. Only ten other States have as low a gasoline tax as Connecticut.

In seventeen the tax is four cents, and from that it goes up to seven cents in Tennessee, Florida and Louisiana. Some of the States also impose county and municipal taxes, which bring the price to the point of encouraging the black market. The law of diminishing returns applies to taxes as well as to prices in general, but a 4-cent gasoline tax is well inside that economic law; in there is little doubt that it would yield the Highway Department all the revenue expected of it. Motorists have a right to insist that all the money derived from the gasoline taxes, registration fees and operators' licenses shall be spent exclusively for highway construction and maintenance, plus the relatively small amount allotted to the State Police for patrol work and to highway safety activities. Those who fear that highway funds may be diverted to other uses talk of a constitutional amendment to prevent it, but no such recourse Is needed.

If anything at all is required, it could be covered by statute. The Consti Germany. News of the latest victory over remnants of the Japanese home fleet came in as the week closed Only after the American Third Fleet had for weeks roamed at will in Japanese waters did Japan take up the challenge.

The hearing on one of Invested. these bonds received from you and they will help greatly in paying for I don't want anyone to get the TENETS OF TOLERANCE In the certificate of incorporation embodying the charter of the Willkie Memorial of Freedom House, the purpose is most appropriately set forth "of educating men and women in the fundamentals of religious and racial tolerance and the improvement of their moral and mental viewpoint in relation thereto." This new organization to perpetuate the memory of Wendell L. Willkie proposes to combat by education "the advocacy of any doctrine which may preach, teach or urge religious, racial or international intolerance or antagonism." This is unquestionably a sound approach to the whole problem of intolerance and discrimination.

Only through education, admittedly a long, slow, process at the national level, can the moral viewpoint of the people be uplifted. Legislative enactments purporting to eliminate such discrimination, such aspire now proposed in this and several other States, are but a futile and confusing attempt to cure a disease of the body politic without attacking the germs that cause It. In the name of Willkie, who was himself the most tolerant of men, an educational campaign against unfair practices anywhere will ring true. No subject was closer to his heart than the rights of man irrespectively of race, creed or This "problem has already been the subject of legislative enactment in Connecticut. The General Assembly of 1943 established an Inter-Racial Commission.

It has presented some educational programs to further the indisputably desirable objective of tolerance. The statute requires the Commission "to compile facts concerning discrimination in employment, violations of civil liberties and other related matters." At the hearing on the Fair Employment Practices Bill on March 20 at the State Capitol, Judge Samuel Mellitz, representing the Commission, disclosed that 51 complaints of discrimination had been received. Of this number satisfactory adjustments had been made In forty cases, an excellent record over the period for nearly twenty months since its establishment. It Is also a record that does not justify the Commission's endorsement of a compulsory measure on the ground that gains made during the war must not be lost in peace. These gains In the moral and ethical climate of the nation cannot be frozen at some -new level by passage of a statute.

Through the ages, generations of mankind have approached in only varying degrees the ideals of the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount, despite the in-controvertibllity at all times of their principles. Our legislators, now considering the bill to compel the practice of tolerance, should weigh thoroughly the Impending possibility that through compulsion real damage may be done to the whole cause. Charges and countercharges, debate, accusation and recrimination are dangerous substitutes for voluntary action and the teaching of the tenets of tolerance. No one questions the objective of the proposed legislation. But It cannot be reached through Imputing to any man or any organization the intention of hostility toward it.

To do so will fan the embers of Intolerance Into a violent flame, dividing impression that I expect to return our education.
