Of Conflict
state Capitol, Hartford, Feb. 4.— (ffV-The Republican-controlled Senate defeated today an attempt to have the war powers bill sent back to the Judiciary committee for further study. After nearly two hours debate, the first test vote on the measure showed 20 against recommitting and 14 in favor. There waa a slight wavering of party lines on the measure, with two Republicans, Senators Parsons and Nelli, voting with a majority of the Democrats for recommltUng; and one Democrat, Senator Tobin, voting .with Republicans against.
DIscusa Party Strategy With the controversial war
powers biU slated for action in the Senate, Democratic and Republican membera of that branch were called into caucuses today to discuss party strategy.
The party huddles on the measure, giving the governor authority to suspend or modify any state law which might hamper the war effort held up the Senate session.
The House approved the biU last week after its Republican majority bad blocked a Democratic effort to amend it.
The House sped through its shortest session of the year. It lasted exactly six minutes and business was confined to the adoption of two resolutions, one naming Harry Schwartz of Norwich a New London county commissioner for four yeara beginning next Oct. 1.
The resolution, adopted without debate under auspension of rulea, went to the Senate.
Honae Extenda Sympathy The other resolution extended
the sympathy of the House to Rep. Herbert B. Wanderer (R.) of Bethel, whose wife died yesterday.
Tbe largest crowd of the year, among It many representative!, w u in the chamber as ' Senator Stianley P. Mead, the Republican leader, opened the debate on the war powers bill at 12:22 p. m. with tha assertion that the purpoee behind the measure was "win the war and win it quick.” .
Mead argued ttat as citizens of the "arsenal” state. It waa the duty at au Connecticut residents to see that the “ utmost effort” waa mada In this “ tremendous emergency,” Slid the bill he said, waa designed to that end.
"A bon du t Undtatlona”Mead asserted also that there

Failure of America to Ac-cept Responsibilities Generation Ago Aided Aggressors* Rise
College Park, Md„ Feb. 4— — Failure of the United States to accept its responsibilities a generation ago helped the rise of the aggressors. Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles said today, and it is up to ;he new generation now lighting and working for victory to see that the same mistakes are not made again.
In an address for delivery at commencement exercises of the University o f Maryland Welles appealed to the graduating class to “ realize what the United States means to the' rest of the world, particularly to the peoples who today are living in the slavery imposed by Hitler.”
He said he wondered if they appreciated fully the world prestige of the United States and “ how great is the hope which has been kindled in the hearts and minds of men and Women throughout the world because of the fact that your country is joined to the other members of the United Nations In this battle for freedom.
“That hope,” he continued,

lomatic quarters cast about today for the reasons which impelled the Spanish government to instruct its embassies in Rio de Janeiro and Santiago to deny last night that Adolf Hitler had asked Generalissimo Francisco Franco to act as intermediary in a peace proposal.
Some observers saw the move as an indication of apprehension on the part of Spain lest her prestige in South America be compromised by suspicions that she was ready to serve as a Nazi catspaw.
’The statement issued by the Spanish embassy in Rio De Jimeiro and distributed by the Brazilian government news agency said merely:

Ways and Means Committee Chairman Opposes Plan to Forgive Year o f Tax Liability.Washington, Feb. 4.— (A*)
Chairman Doughton (D., N. C.), of the House Ways and Means committee today vigorously challenged contentions of Beardsley Ruml, sponsor of a sk|p-a-year tax plan, that lis idea would improve the financial well-being of the
government.” Doughton, voicing opposition to any plan for” all-out forgiveness of a year of tax liability for individual ' income taxpayers to put them on a pay-as-yoii- earn ba.sis, asked Ruml, who la chairman of the New Ifork Federal Reserve Board, why If his contentions were correct ’’you don’t sell that to all business people and have them cancel debts by their customers?”
Ruml had just completed a plea for his plan when Doughton fired questions.
Larger Return SeenThe big, Jovial banker, contend
ed that putting the tax clock one year ahead, and skipping one year of liability, would bring more money into the Treasury than the present system does.
He had also told the committee that “ much confusion” had been caused by discussions of ’’forgiv-' ing” a year's taxes. He contended his plan.would not involve "forgiving” as the word meant that there would be a year when taxpayers made ho payments and the Treasury got no revenue.
'Nothing coikld be farther from the truth,” Ruml contended.
He insisted that witimolding taxes on 1943 incomes should be made effective not later than April

Although police ' pressed their Investigation to link the killing of the model and night club dice girl to a robber, they said other theo- rlea bad not been abandoned. Other possible motives, police aald, were that Mias Carey waa killed by an, angry auitor, a jealous woman rival or for revenge.

cabinet • - fficers today credited shipments of American food and supplies to Russia with a big part

Growing cargoes of American lend-leasc supplies to Russia. Stimson-said, are playing an Increasing role in the Red Armies' "impressive victories.” These shipments will grow still more, he promised.
In reviewing the war’s progress, Stimson said United States con- ovy losses through the northern routes to Russia were lessening and that a far greater per cent of the lend-lease supplies were reaching their goal.
In addition, he said those supplies being {(hipped .around africa by the southern route were being
Washington, Feb. 4.— (iP) — Like two heavyweight boxers feeling each other out, flicking tentative but punishing jabs here and there. Unit ed States and Japanese Naval units are maneuvering in the Southwest Pacific for a stance from which to throw a haymaker. From this corner there waa only word that air and surface engagements "are continuing,” but it appeared from the Navy’s restraint that a titanic struggle was shaping up for control of Guadalcanal island with its all-important airfield.
Sparring for Position Naval spokesman- repeated that
both sides have suffered losses, but one of them emphasized that 'the whole thing ia a sparring for
position,” with the two major fleet units not yet joined in an all-out slugfest.
Both sides were swapping aerial blows.
The Japanese, it was revealed in delayed dispatches from the U. 8. fleet in the South Pacific, released today, made their first night bombing attack on American s\jrface vessels in the Guadalcanal area after dusk Jan. 29, but the results were not disclosed.
The dispatches said the enemy airmen dropped mysteriously out of the night sky while a unit of

London, Feb. — Insea and air blows paving the way f(Jr heavy land assault in j North Africa, the Allies a n - ' nounced today the destruc-1 tion of 14— perhaps 16-^Axis supply ships in the narrow mid-Mediterranean approaches to Tunisia, where the Ger- man-Itallan -defense line was tested anew for weak spots. British forces captured a height known as Hill 648 in a renewal of fighting six miles southeast of Bou Arada in the Jebel Mansour area, midway between Medjez-El-Bab auid Robaa, an Allied communique said. It described the gain, however, as a “ limited success.”
Italian General Prisoner Meanwhile field dispatches re
ported that the American striking force which captured Sehed and dug in a mile east of the town on the rail line through Maknassy to the coast had taken prisoner an Italian general.
Allied bombers, attacked the port o f Gabes and enemy positions near Maknassy, and for one of the few times since the start of the fight for Tunisia they lost more planes than they shot down. The communique said .six Axis planes were destroyed to eight Allied planes missing.
Strong German fdteea apparently atlll held Important Paid pass on the central Tunisian front, inland from Sfax, where they had held against an American counterattack.
Massing for AttackThe British Eighth Army ap- |
peared to be massing for its next attack In a correlated squeeze on the Axis in Tunisia,
A Cairo communique reported British patrol activity along the whole Libyan - Tunisian border front, and although it mentioned no specific advances yesterday the main body of Gen. Sir Bernard L, Montgomery’s force apparently was piling up behind Pisida, 12 miles from the frontier.
Four small enemy vessels were sent to the bottom hy Allied bombers from the east which

There were reports that differences between Charles E. Wilson, vice chairman in charge o f production for the War Production board, and Ferdinand Eberstadt, W PB chief of. materials allocations, had been accentuated by Wilson’s action in setting Feb. 6 as a deadline for placing war orders for the first six months of 1949. r
The unpubllclzed order, -which brought a flood of inquiriM and complaints from industry, also set March 1 as the last day to place orders for delivery by the end o f 1^3. One industry representative declared it was “impossible” for most manufacturers to meet those dates and added that one W PB division rei^hsfb le to Eberstadt had advised Ignoring the order.
Trade sources said it took a week fof* this document to pass through the claimant agencies and get into the bands o f manufacturers in most cases, which left only ten days or so for orders to be placed by contractors with subcontractors and by subcontractors with sub-subcontractors.

Wag<
Washington. Feb. 4->-iflP)—Gird- tag for a showdown on the government’s wage controls, John Ln. Lewis’ United Mine Workers today called for a $2 a day wage increase for the nation's 450,000 soft coal miners.
The proposed raise, which would •boost the miners’ basic wage from $7' to 29 a day, conflicts directly with the War Labor Board’s "U t- tle Steel” formula— the govem- aent'a wage yardstick.
The formula adopted last sum- u e r by the W LB limits increases, oa the basis of cost of living adjustments, to 15 per cent of the wage paid on Jan. 1, 1941. The

In announcing the union’s demand last night, Lewis repeated his denunciation of the "Little Steel” formula as "arbitrary and miserably stupid.” Although ac- knowledfHng that the formula bars a $2 a day increase, he said the union thought it had "a very compelling case.”

speeded to the Ruaaian front bythe buid^ng of new overland trans- portation'systems in Iran by American troops.
Laud'-g the Russiap Army, the secretary termed the Nasi defeat at Stalingrad the worst in German military history. However, he reminded his hearers to remember that the Red triumph came only "after a long and costly struggle," in which the Russians lost much in both .men and materiel.
Stimson pointed to the lack of Nazi planes on the Rii.s.sian front aa ah indication that the Germans might be planning a new offensive.
Little CTiange In Afrira Stimson said there was little
change in the North African picture, but did note that Tripoli harbor was being cleared rapidly and soon would be an important source of supply for British General Montgomery’s forces. Already, he said,British and U. S. planes are u.sing fjeljls in the Tripoli area to score dinnaging blows with both lighters and bombers in Tunisia, Sicily and Northern.Italy, as well ns hitting at Marshal Rommel’s retreating Axis forces from the air in Africa.
Secretary o f Agriculture Wlck- ard discussed the food angles of lend-lease In testimony before a Houm committee considering another year's life for the program.He said;
" I f the hupplies of American food which are going to these men (Russian fighters), f r a c t iQ .n though It is of the total aupply, were to be cut off tomorrow, they would almoat surely have to stop flgh t^g.”
Vaadegrlft Pieaented Medal Other nagging problema, such
aa manpower supply and rationing, held their place in the capital's worries but at the White House, in contrast, there was a happy ceremony in which President Roosevelt presented the Congressional Medal of Honor to MaJ.Gen. Alexander A. Vandegrlft of the Marines, a hero of Guadalcanal.
Looking ahead. Senator Gillette (D., Iowa) introduced a resolution whlclj would put the Senate on record as approving the basic principles o f the Atlantic charter and calling on the President to negotiate immediately a "post war peace charter” with other United Nations.
Vice President Wallace, who normally assigns Senate bills to committees, touched off the manpower inquiry issue when he left to the members to decide whether they wanted the Education and Labor committee or the Military Affairs group to consider legislation creating an over-all war mobilization agency. Senator Kil gore (D-W Va), coauthor of the measure, favors the Education and Labor group while (Chairman Reynolds (D-NC) wants the bill assigned to his' military committee.
Prefer Military Committee Since the Military committee
already is conducting its own'man- power investigation, there were indications that leaders preferred that the measure go to that group, which called (Chairman Donald M.Nelson of the War Production board before it today for testimony behind closed doors.
Irrespective of the outcome of this controversy, however, members said a Senate Appropriations subcommittee would continue its own inquiry into the manpower question, determined to keep a sharp rein on expenditures.

the Southwest Pacifle fleet was cruising near Guadalcanal.
The night bombing took place last Friday, the date on which the Tokyo radio said Japanese planes had started attacks on American battleships and cruisers which resulted in the sinking of two battl^ ships and three cruisers off Reh- nell Island.
Naval spokesmen here s4id the Japanese . claims were "grossly exaggerated” though it was known that both sides had suffered losses in the skirmishes in the Guadalcanal area.
Today there were new Japanese claims broadcast, by DNB in Germany. A communique, recorded in London by The Associated Press, said one cruiser had been sunk, one heavily damaged and 33 planes shot down in a Japanese attack on “ enemy Naval forces” south of Sahta.fsabel island Monday. Santa Isabel lies north of Guadalcanal. T h e « was no comment on the report from United States sources.
Like angry hornets, the bombers of Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s command continued to harrass and distract the enemy by raiding his bases on New Britain and Bougainville islands.
A big four-motored Liberator bombed a Japanese warship at Wide Bay, south of Rabaul, New Britain, after driving off an enemy fighter. Results were not observed.
Rabaul AttackedA report from MacArthur’s
headquarters today also said that Flying Fortresses had raided Rabaul itself, a vital Jap base for the Battle of the Solomons, for the fifth consecutive night despite heavy clouds which hampered a check of the damage done. A Flying Fortress on a reconnaisance mission later was attacked by 15 Japanese fighter planes. The big ship knocked two of them down ami returned safely to its base.
Towering fires were started by a Catalina medium bomber in a raid on an enemy airdrome at Buln. on Bougainville Island in the Solomona Fires also were started at the Gasmata airdrome on New Britain.
Last night’s communique reported that United States soldiers oh Guadalcanal, smashing through stiff enemy resistance, had epn- tiniied their advance to the weat and crossed the Bonegi river, half a mile east of Tassafaronga. Sixty Japanese were killed in the fighting.

Seek Reasc^ns Behind Denial
Of Peace Bid(C on ttm ^ from l?age One)
ous 'American countries the Spanish embassy in Brazjil considers it opportune to deny the existence of any ^proposition made to the Spanish government to formulate any peace offer, adding that should such a proposal be made in the future Spain will a c t . according to her own initiative and according to political directives corresponding with the nation’s sovereignty.”
The embassy in Santiago issued a similar statement, amplifying It with the assertion that no Spanish base is serving any belligerent.
The statements did not specify where the Hitler peace offer reports were published. Certainly such reports have not attracted much attention in Argentina.
Might Consider Separate I'ca^-eIn connection with the nebulous
rumors of a possible Nazi peace offensive a Reuters dispatch from Ankara today quoted a German re- f>ort as saying the Finnish minister to Berlin had advised the Germans that Finland might have to consider a separste peace with Russia unless she gets urgently needed food supplies.
A t the same time Madrid dif patches said advices from Paris indicated the vyhole French black .market was engaged in frantic liquidation as a result of spreading belief the war is going to end soon
The correspondent of one Madrid newspaper called the wave of sell ing "a strange phenomenon of collective imbecility” which began after the Churchill-Roosevelt conferences in Casablanca.
Believe Hitler Preparing Peace Bid
London. Feb. 4— i/Pi— The ber -lief that Adolf Hitler- may be preparing another peace offensive was expressed today in neutral quarters in London who, said action might be Ihtiated through Spain or Sweden or both.
These sources, which insisted on remaining anonymous, said there have been strange developments in Berlin since the Casablanca conference which suggest an impending move for a negotiated settlement in spite of the unsolicited denials from the Spanish embassies in Brazil and Chile that Generalissimo Franco had been designated a go-between.
Speculation On MotiveThe Spanish denial evoked con
siderable speculation concerning its motive especially in the absence of any widely circulated reports that Spain had been chosen as a peacemaker.
There were repoi-ta in London recently that Hitler’s new ambassador to Spain, Dr. Hans Adolf Von Moltkc, carried to Madrid a proposal that Franco act as an intermediary. but these lacked any substantiation and attracted little attention.
But today, with the Allies pledged to hammer the Axis into unconditional surrender, with Germany shocked by the Stalingi'ad
. disaster and facing 'something similar in the Caucasus, the neutral sources suggested that there seemed to be nfiore cause for Hitler to seek a coippromise now than on Jan. 12, when Von Moltke went to Madrid.
One unofficial peace plan said to have been tried out in Stockholm ■was reported to have stipulated that Hitler and the Nazi party would retire from politics and hand Germany over to the Army. This appeared, however, to have got no farther than' Sweden.
Income tax payers on a current •Mb.Vigorously / disagreeing with
Treasury opposition, Ruml told the committee: ■
There ts no escaping the conclusion that the income tax on 1942 incomes s must be either dropped or deferred.”
Would Lose Ten BlUloiisThe treasury, in opposing the
Ruml plan, told the ways and means committee that under such a proposal it would lose 910,000,- 000,000 of paper "assets." It did suggest, however, that Congress might find it- desirable to “ defer” or “ forgive” some part of the tax due next month on 1942 incomes to accomplish a transition to pay-as-you-go.
Questioning of ^ndolph Paul. Treasury general counsel, brought out yesterday that the Treasury had given "serious consideration" to turning the tax clock back so as to apply 1941 rates' and exemptions to 1942 income, on which taxes must be paid March 15. Paul emphasized that if such a proposal was adopted all taxpayers liable under present law to file returns March 15 would still be required to do so but would later be credited against future taxes with any amount they overpay.
Paul said the Ruml plan would lead to inflation and public clamor for wage increases.
No Revenue LoeeRuml insisted that the govern
ment would, in the long run. lose no revenue through cancellation of taxes due on 1942 income and payable this year and urged tjiat the cancellation should be made applicable to ta brackets. ‘
The Treasury department hsd objected to blanket cancellation of obligations on 1942 income largely on the ground it would be of greater benefit to persons with large incomes.
Adoption of the pay-as-you-go system. Ruml contended, would bring “a just relief to millions who will one day be injured because of our present income-tax procedure.”
Referring to a Treasury study of the advisability of deferring or spreading over a period of time part of the liability due in 1942 income while at the same time collecting currently on 1943 income, Ruml said no current collection program could be applied at the rates necessary as long as the 1942 tax debt is simultaneously payable.

said, corresponded to th? time Miss Carey was believed killed, early Tuesday afternoon.
Drury said police continued investigation of the possibility that Miss Carey, as an associate of Nick Circella, alias Nick Dean, former night club opAator now in prison, had been slain by gangster enemies. Dean, whose association with Miss C^arey ■was disclosed at an inquest yesterday, now is serving an eight year term in Federal prison for conspiracy to extort more than $1,000,000 from motion picture executives.
Testimony that Miss Carey received as much as $500 weekly in commissions while employed as a dice girl at Dean’s night club two years ago was given by Mis* Maxine Buturff. ■who lived with the model. Police, howeve.r. found only $1,500 in cash and $250 in war ))ond8 in Miss Carey’s safety deposit box in a Loop bank.
"rests, of course, in part upon the knowledge that the power of this nation is so great, now that the miracle of our initial war effort has been accomplished, aa to make it clear Deyond the shadow of doubt that we shall achieve the victory which is our objective.
"The peoples of the earth know that the United States had no selfish ends in view when it en- (faged'- in this battle,” he said. "They know that we desire, no Inch of territory outside of our own possessions. They know that we covet the property o f no other people and that we have no desire to dominate any other race. They know that we have already granted freedom to the people for whom for a time we served as trustees.
"They know and they hope that if this country is willing to exercise its moral strength to the same extent as it Is now prepared to make felt Its physical strength, the ideals for which the American people stand and in which they lie- ileve can be realized.’’
Should Base on Self-InterestA t the same time. Welles em
phasized, it cannot be too often repeated that American foreign, policy should be used in the last analysis on self-interest.
"Our foreign policy must not be —and in the long run never will be— based upon emotional altruism nor sentimental aspiration," he said. ’'What we should all o f us be asking ourselves day In and day out Is. not only what policies this country should adopt after the war in order to make sure that our security and our best interests are safeguarded, but also what this country of ours could have done In the past In order to prevent, or at least to make less likely, the rise of the conditions which have permitted the outbreak of this great world struggle In which we are now engaged.”
Summarizes War AimsAnswering those who complain
that the cause for which this country is fighting never has been clearly enough stated, Welles summarized in a paragraph the war a i.j^ of the United States. He said; ........
"We, the people of the United States, are fighting to preserve our own liberties and our own independence. We are fighting in order to defeat a group of tyrannies, personifying all that which is most brutish and most evil in mankind, who have thought that they could -dominate by force and treachery the whole world. And we are fighting, I hope and l believe. In order to create a world of the future in which the smallest nation, as well as the largest nation, may find itself safe, and in which men and women can live out their lives in peace, in Individual liberty, and in security."

the protection o f a man equally involved who could be prosecuted two ways—for abortion and rape.
"Both of these girls in testifying here were dangling on the end of a rope of hope."
The middle-aged attorney, striding back and forth before the pury and manipulating his plastic-rimmed spectacles while Flynp sat calmly at the counsel table, enumerated apparent discrepancies in Miss Hansen’s story:
A t the trial, she te.stifled Flynn undressed her but also admitted saying previously at Juvenile hall that she undressed herself, Giealer emphasized.
In court she c la red the alleged act took plate on a twin bed in an alcove adjoining tha "blue bedroom.” But a policewoman ttati- fled Miss Hansen said kt Juvenile hall that it occurred on a large double bed in the bedroom ''itself, the attorney declared.
Giealer's argument today will be followed by a final prosecutiort summation. The jury is expected to begin deliberations tomorrow.

There was no indication whether American troops had been engaged In the fighting near Ousseltia, the French communique merely referring to "our forces.”
The Berlin i^dio quoted a German military spokesman today as saj-ing that a,dvanced German elements near Sened had mpved

The spokesman also referred to a daylong American attack on both sides of Faid. pass launched, it said, after the Americans "brought up a new division equipped with the most modem wea- ))ons, supported by a tank brigade." It asserted the attack was repulsed after "violent fighting.”
It was not clear what attack might have been referred to but presumably it Was the operation reported in a communique yesterday from Allied headquarters in North Africa as having been un- s'uccessful.

" I couldn’t sleep good in times like these if I didn’t pay the government a debt I was able to pay. and thus passed the debt on to the boys now fighting all over the world.”

Ruml contended it would improve the government’s financial condition “ since the revenues---- wouldbe larger___ than at preaent andthis without increase of taxes.”
He said "w « shall all go along paying our income taxes aa we have before, only they will be on a current basis” and claimed that over a period years “ It la likely that the income of this country will increase and the receipts under the pay-as-you-go system would be greater with the same tax rates than under the present system.”
Insisting that he thought that as "a matter o f principle.” changes In collection should be made applicable "to all alike," Ruml said he did not think it would be possible to make provision to catch all of what he called “ w lndfair cases—where an tadl- vldual’a 1942 income was much greater than that In either 1941 or 1948. To "catch the most objectionable cases’ ’ he proposed that the income tax on capital gains not be cancelled, that a special death tax be provided to cover “ windfalls" during some appropriate transition period, wid that ta cases where claim fw credit exceeds an amount which Congress deems advisable, an average tor 1941, 1942 and 1943 be taken.' Most Impoirtaiit Differracra
The three most important differences between him and the Treasury, Ruml said ta a prepared statement he read to the committee, “are one point o f fact, one p<dnt o f prlnolite and one point o f poUey."

A Gun And A GermanThe hate-mongera are at it
•gain, and some of them'are men •rquaifi^ harsh factsOf this war and the nature of the enemy and with the psychologlcsil things that help win battles. They use different words and phrasinga, and present their message to different audiences, but tJt adds up to the proportion that we should .bate our enemies to extermination. It is not content that we should bats U>e principles which our enemies represent;, it demands that our flesh and blood hste their flesh and blood ao much it can't be b ^ p y unless it sees it tom and flowing.
None o f these hate-mongera questions what auch bate, if we oould nourish it among ouraelvea, would do to ua It ia, they say, the only way to win tha war. If, after winning the war, we become something worse than Hitler and bis gang o f aadiata, that ia no worry of the hate-monger'a He wants ua to bs Uks Hitler for the winning of the war., and take our obanesa on what wo will be afterwards.
Kverytime one of these hate- Bongers raisaa his voice, the voice. Of sanity ia quick to answer. Obviously, ws cannot make our- aslvss lit to plan a peace by drlnk- flw Hitler’s poison brew. Obviously, there la some difference in guilt between those gangsters who bullied Hitler’s way to pow- ar and those who committed the leaser crime of not caring very aiucb one way or another who was Chancellor of Germany. And obviously, as wsU, American sol- dlera are doing a pretty fair Job OB the enemy wherever they find him, and all without having a hymn o f hate fior breakfast every Bomlng.
Such sane answers serve to keep the hate-mongers from having tha public forum all to them- aslvea. But the decision o f the American people on this question has already been made. It baa baen no artiitrary decislao. but the inevitable result of our heritage, our eduimUon, our breadth of view, and, especially perhaps, our experience as the world’s greatest melting p ot Our role aa a melting pot has taught ua that it la Impoaeible and ridiculous to bate any one simply because a certain strain .of national blood flows In his veins.
And the hate-mongers, themselves, however lurid and sensational they may sound in their wair-time arguments, are not apart from America aa a whole. There would be only one way to test the sincerity of these hate- mongers' iii their extreme position, and that would be to give them a gun, and a helpless German captive at their feet and challenge them to use the ' gun. Then it would be discovered that they are piking about Mmetblng they haven't even got themselvea. I'or they wouldn’t pull the trig- ger.
There.are things it Is good to bats. It is good to hats bigotry and racial prejudice and tyranny and overweening, selfish ambltidb.

They Were Our FriendsGensrsI Eisenhower has been
forced to proralee severe punishment to any of his own officers who indulge in criticism of "any ally,’’ which la indication that the bittemeee and disillusion caused b. our diplomacy in North Africa has reached into the ranks of our own fighting Corces on the acene.
Perhaps such officers on . the scene are not concerned, as are many people back home, with questions of high principle. -Per- baps, with them/^.the.--di8iltusion- ment was more elemental, auch as any good fighting^ man might feel when he sees tome one who has helped him punished.
A good development—the release of some of the prisoners arrested after the SAsaasination of Admiral Darlan—brings an explanation of why American officers, some of them perhaps at GeneraJ Eisenhower's own right hand, might have been feeling critical of the ex-VIchy regime In North Africa. For, now that they have been released, some of these prisoners have been identified.
One of the prisoners now released was Jacquss Brunei, former mayor of Algiers. It was in his boms that U eut Gen. Mark dark. General Eieenhower'a chief aide, met with local Franch patriots when he made his daring secret submarine trip to Algeria Juat before our invasion. The American general was decorated for hia exploit; hie patriotic French collaborator waa put be-' bind bars after the American flag he had helped bring there was flying over North Africa.
Three of the prisoners now released were Henri, Jose and Raphael Boulanger, well-known Allied aympathtscra and doers. One of these brothera captured a post- office and telephone exchange for the landing Americans. Another guided an American force that ■ucoeasfully accompUabed its
miasion.” A third acted as interpreter for our troops during the fighting.
M. Alexandre, another of the prisoners now releaacd, helped arrange General Glraud's own ea- cape from France to North Africa. He and M. Morall, another prisoner now released, operated ths message syatem on the Algerian beaches that gave the signal which brought American and British troops in for landing.
These meii risked their own Uvea to give ue cooperation. It would not have been atrange if some of ths American officera they helped failed to wax enthusiastic over a French regime which, under- our protection, placed these men In prison. Obviously, not even General Elsenhower himself liked it, for be has been pressing for their release. Obviously, too, aa soldiers, * General Elsenhower and hie officers and men have a tough war on their bands, and cannot let such injustices stand in the way of ' their fighting unity and efficiency.
But there Is a diplomatic and political leason involved, and it Is that there ahould be what many people hoped would come from the Casablanca conference— a United Nations formula for iwlving diplomatic and political problems In occupied territories. We are going to move into other territories aa this war progresses, territories 'torn with political differences and factional strife. We cannot afford to win the reputation of being a nation which goea around the world putting its own friends in prison.’
It Is a fins thing to have a committee on Un-American activities, and It would be fins to have such a, committee making an Intelligent, unbiased, level-headed Invea- tigation of such activittea. ' But that will never come under Dies. Congressman Will Rogers, Jr., had the truth o f his old man, even if he lacked the wit', when he labeled the .Dies speech the other day aa nothing more than the technique of a Hollywood publicity seeker. ■ ■ ,

ConnecticutYankee
By A. H. 0.
Mayor John Murphy o f New Haven, who warbles the sweetest and the cleanest tunes, as well aa the best re-election record, of any Connecticut executive wearing the Democratic label, has been guilty o f a little pious and merely inferential distortion of the record.
His soulful letter to Governor Baldwin, expressing his fear that the New Havcil City Court would shortly find itself completely staffed with Republicans, and requesting that the Governor himself step In and, with high declaration against the "Nazi” principle of Jobs for Republicans only In a Republican administration, persuade his hungry party followers away from some of the New Haven Judicial plums, waa a classic in its way.
Bqt_it was moat classic of all, perhaps. In the inference that, were it the Democrats who had somehow achieved the miracle of controlling both houeee of the General Assembly, they would automatically and unqueatlonably Invite their Republican opponents In to the feast.
There wae one fact, and one only, responsible for the recent eraJpf the split court in Con- necucut. That was the fact that, whatever the Demoemto might do, they couldn’t get control of tho Houee of Bepreeentativeo.
Despite that fact, the goal of all-Democratic court slates was one toward which the Democrats consistently .and aometimes ferociously aspired. They thought they had the thing set, in 1933, with a plan to throw all Judgeships Into the lap of the Governor. And it waa substantial part of the hue and cry against the famous Judge- ship deal of that seesion that this possibility waa lost in the ^ace of the Bucceesful maneuver by which Democratic factions which knew they wouldn’t fare well in appointments from Cross paddled their own gravy boat up to the Republicans and. made a deal which took care of both Old Guard Democrats and Republicans, but left'the Democrats who had been hoping for an aU-Demo- cratlc alate out in the cold.
That deal began the split court in Connecticut. It was continued, with new kinds of deala between new factions in both parties, from one General Assembly to another. But it was not continued In response to any high principle, or because of any generosity on the part o f either party, but solely because neither party was able to grab all the Judgeships for itself.
If, In the preaent altuatlon, any Democratic court personnel aurvlves the Republican ooni- plete control at Hartford, It will be puiely and simply be- enuae these certain Democrate have proved their poUtlcel uae- fulneas to Bepublloaa pnrpoaea. Bo long no theao Judgcahlpe ro- main In poUttoe, their prUno function la to continue In power the party which la able to hand them out. And wo*ll bet Mayor John knew that nil along, even if be couldn’t realst making n aweet aong about another kind of world.
- Chairman of BlurbWhen Chairman Dies of the
Dies committee fed the House another 'collection of rumor and wil<l allegations the other day, tagging bis rumor, this time, to the allegation that there is a plot, on foot in this country to discredit Congress he was, of course, merely seeking one thing. That ia hia usual appropriation of 1100,000 or BO from this new Congress. Like most of his old funda, this would be spent to please Mr. Dies and Mr. Dies alone, and would produce only what he wanted It to. Specifically, Mr. Dies is talented at callmg people Cdmmumsts, and hasn't yet forgiven Shirley Temple for being one, but his suspicion of those Americans who may be in Hitler's camp la lesa keen and hurried.
When Congreaa, for term after term, continues Mr. Dies in his one-man clj^^us role, giving him public money to play with, there doesn’t have to be any nfglniisil plot on foot to discredit Oongrsss.
It would be s salutary Idea for this new Congress to end Mr. Dies' long holiday on public funds.

Three Men On Her HandsChapter IX.
Colonel Merrlwether picked up a card from his desk, and examined it quietly, and handed it to Grace. "Will you please telephone Mr. Vaughan 'Dunbar at the hotel he indicates here and ask him to dine with us this evening?’’
Mitchell Grace said. "Certainly, sir," while chemical changes of a deplorable nature occurred in hia blood stream.
He walked out with the card, and made his telephone call, and received word that Mr. Dunbar was Out but would be given the mes- .sage promptly upon his return. He sat then, at the window of his room, and looked down at the pool where he .saw not only Cynthia Merrlwether but also Henry Prentisa. They sat together on the stone bench, and between them there waa laughter.
At the pool, the gravest matter to fall into the talk between Cynthia and Henry Prentiss was the disgusting fact that he could not go into the water.
"It wouldn't hurt the mitt," he said, "but think what it would do to all those nice, clean bandages.”
"I could put on new ones. Hey! That's the way for a gentle maiden to capture the hero's heart, isn't it? Binding up his wounds! I could even tear a strip off my petticoat. That would make It perfect."
"Granting the mhiden, I don't grant the gentle," he said.
And Cynthia Merrlwether blushed.

When Cynthia came back to sit beside him on the bench with water dripping down from her legs to make small puddles on th° ground, he got her a cocktail too. and admired her while she lifted it, and said with a detachment and perspicuity which were not of his usual way of speaking, "Something troubles you, Pretty. Tell the old boon companion what it Is.’’
"Ptwr Grace,” ahe said."The devil is head over heels for
you. Uin’t he?”"Is that it? Is that really It,
Hank?”"You talk like something out of
‘Little Women’.’’"You make me feel like some
thing out of ‘Gone With the Wind’.’.’
In auch trifling manner (though aurely with no unkindness) the doleful plight of Mitchell Grace waa discussed. And the discussion waned because there seemed nothing that anybody could do about it anyway. And the discuasion died because Henry Prentiss suddenly remembered.
"People dance at the club tonight. For the sake of my prea- ttge, I cannot afford to appear
Withlh the languid course of the afternoon, Vaughan Dunbar telephoned, and spoke with MltcheU Grace, and said that he would be pleased to dine at Stone House. When this word was dutifully de- llveiW to Cynthia, ahe put in a call for Fred West;
"W e’ve got to call signalsagain.”
“ If this is another runaround, my dear. I'm off to Join the Canadian Air Force."
"You’ll have to blame the Colonel. He has invited Vaughan Dun. bar for dinner, and according to the rules I ’ve got to be here for dinner, too."
“ All this just after I’ve called the club- and reserved the best (able in the Joint.”
‘ ;W by-do«’t you come here for dinner yourself?”
"Thafa better. Not much, but a little."
"And how's for thia— bring Anne along, if ahe hasn’t got a date.”
"Anne never has a date. Nobody's cousin ever has a date. But why drtlg her in on it ? ”
"Because there’s got to be another gal, that’s why."
"I get it. Somebody for me to talk to while you disappear somewhere with the great Dunbar. Well, I’ve already heard everything Cousin Anne has to say. Too often.”
"Can’t you trust m e?”"N o”"Then I’ll expect the pair of you
about half-past 7.”"Okay.”"Buy her a posy.""I ’ll aee you.”Thereafter, with the warmth of
her well-designed ear still upon the telephone receiver, Cynthia dialed the number of Henry Prentiss. She knew perfectly well that she was being rather silly and childish, but that knowledge did not deter her in the least. Henry Prentiss waa altogether too cocksure. and so she said to him when he answered;
"It may be, friend, that 1 will not make it to the dance after all. Ju.st called so you wouldn’t brood.”
"Why aren’t you going?"" ‘You needn’t be so gruff about
it. It's a damn fine thing for me to call you at all.”
“Much obliged. But I would still like to . know what you're up to.”
"n ie Colonel la having Vaughan Dunbar to dinner. If he wants to go to the club after. I’ll take him. Or he may go home early, and I’ll comeon with Fred. Or he may want to stay and talk."
"Personally, you prefer for him to stay and talk.”
"On the contrary, Mr. Know. I prefer to show him off at the club, If he'll go. A new face is a kind of treat around these parts.”
'How's for putting up a place at the table for me too, and letting me show the guy up?”
"No good. I’ve got only one other gal, and It wouldn’t work. "
"Well — wishing you a very pleasant time.”
"Write soon."“ Love and klsaea.”“Very truly youra."

Curtis Carries On Carver Job
Afisistant o f Famed No- gro Scientist Will Seek Same Goals.Tuakagee, Ala., Feb. 4—(JP)—
The famed scientific work of the late George Washington Carver Is being carried on at Tuakegee institute by a modest, 31-year-old Negro scientist,' who was Dr. Carver's assistant and constant companion for nearly eight years.

The two bficame inseparable and the aged Negrro scientist, who waa born of slave parents and had no living relatives, nicknamed hia young assistant "Baby."
Developed Bteakfast Cereal With Carver's aid, Curtis de

Returns Showing 1942 Income Must Be Filed By March 1 5 ; Quarter* ly Payment Due Then.By James Marlow and George
ZIelkeWashington, Feb. 4—(J^—These
things you can count on. ao far as ' your Income tax ia concerned;
1. You’ll have to pay more thia year than ever before.
2. You'll have to file by March 15 a return showing what your 1942 Income was.
3. UnleM Congress takes some action quickly (and Congress usually deliberates quite a while on tax matters) you’ll have to make your March 16 quarterly payment. —and probably the June 16 installment— on the basis of the Increased rates voted by Congress laat year.
4. If Congress does make a change later, any money you pay on or before March 15 will apply on what you owe. So, the Treasury and congressional leaders say, you won’t lose by paying on that basis now.
Deduction Fairly Certain One other thing seems fairly
certain; -After July 1, undoubtedly some
portion of your paycheck will be- deducted to provide at least part of your payments on the tax for 1943. PKsident Roosevelt, the Treasury and a good many congressmen are on record in favor of a pay-as-you-eam principle.
If you keep these things In nilnd, the tax experts say, you won’t be apt to be lulled by daydreams that you’ll get out of paying increased taxes this year and for years to come.
Main Point of Argument The main point of argument in
the whole question of bringing taxpayers up-to-date on their ob- ligatlona to Uncle Sam is how to get the pay-as-ybu-earn syatem started.
If a change-over Is to be accomplished this year—and entirely within this year-som e adjustment will have to be made If the taxpayer is to escape paying two years’ taxes' in one year.
The Treaaury objects to “windfalls" which it says big taxpayers w'ould get under ths so-called RumI plan, which would skip the 1942 tax liability and apply tbe taxes paid this ^ear against what's due on 1943 income.
Can’t Pay Double Taxes But the Treasury acknowledges
that most people can't pay two years’ taxes this year.
That brings us to;Other ideas for the change
over;1. Turning the calendar back
and applying 1941 tax rates to 1942 Income. The Treasury says It has considered this (without expressing approval or opposition).
This la a sort of half-and-half idea: You’d pay 1 1-2 years’ taxes thia year and 1 1-2 years’ taxes next year. After that you’d oe strictly on pay-aa-you-eam.
It probably would work out thia way;
You’d figure your taxes for 1942 on The old 1941 rates rather than the Increased ones voted last year. For a good many taxpayers this would mean cutting down by about one-half what they'd owe on 1942, This revised amount could be paid off in the usual quarterly "Inatall- menta.
Starting July 1, however, you’d And part of your paycheck withheld to pay your taxes on 1943 income. In effect; thia would mean paying half your 1943 taxes this year while itlll paying off on 1942.
Would Owe Other Half Then, on March 15, 1944, you’d
owe the other half of the 1943 taxes. Also in 1944, from Jan.1 on, you'd be paying 1944 taxes through paycheck deductions.

Elections Committee .Hears Norwalk Claiiiis
Decision Reserved on P r o b l e m Involving Two House Seats; Discussion Tomorrow.
Beth Sholom
Hartfoed, Feb. 4.—UP)—Into the hands of the House Committee on Contested Elections waa placed yesterday a many-sided problem involving the tWo House seats from Norwalk.
After hearing Republicans contend that the two Demo(;rata elected should be denied the seats, and the Democrats Involved defend their election, the committee re- .served decision, and planned to discuss the controversy in closed scssicin tomorrow.
Neither of the Democrats. Fred W-. Buckley and Frank T. Stack, have yet been sworn In by the House.
The unsuccessful Republican candidates, Stanley Stroffolino and Walter E. Whitton, contended before the committee yesterday that both Buckley and Stack ahould be denied their seats under a state statute which provides:
"Each person elected to either House of the General Assembly by any illegal practice shall be incapable of holding hia seat unless he can Show to the satisfaction of auch House that he was not directly or Indirectly concerned in it."
Maintains Both InvolvMl , Sheldon Smith, attorney for the
Republicans, maintained that the recent report of State Referee George E. Hinman, the "one-man grand Jury” who probed allegations of improper absentee ballot- ting, proved "illegal practice” involving Buckley directly and Stack indirectly.
Buckley was one of seven persons arrested on charges resulting from Referee Hlnman's report on bis probe, but Stack waa not included in the list.
Buckley did not take the stand at yesterday’s hearing, hia coun' sel, Charles Mahoney, telling the committee tl.at it appeared inadvisable pending trial. But, he aaid, his client was confident that he ivpuld be cleared.
Denies Partlclpatoln Stack, on the stancl, denied that
he participated In any way ip the solicitation or handling of the absentee ballots. ....
One of the Democratic contentions raaied yesteiday, by John Keogh, Stack’s lawyer, was that even if the 49 ballots cited in Hin- man’a report ahould be declared void, the Democrats would still be elected, since their margins were well over 100 votes.
And another, raised by Rep. Joseph E. Bove (D) of New Haven, a member of the committee headed by Rep. John R. Thim (R) of Hamden, was whether the Republicans might net also be disqualified on the same "indirect” connection alleged for Stack, since William Garofalo. a Republican; was also one of thoee arrested after the Hinman report.
Smith Denies Simile But Smith denied the simile, as
serting that nothing in the Hinman report Indicated either of hia clients received abeentee votes illegally. while It did declare that in some instances Stacks’ name waa written into the ballots by peraons other than the voters.
atm another point of difference was whether a special election would be necessary should Stack and Buckley be dented the seats, the Democrats contending that It would and the Republicans the opposite.
Vote Favorable Reports Another committee active yes
terday was the Judiciary committee. which voted favorable reports on 16 Judgeship rsaoIuUons, all for RspubUcans, Including ths courts of Bridgeport, Waterbury, and New London. „
Those named in the resblutiona were D. Harold (Jotter and George 18, Finklestone (or Bridgeport; T. E. Conway and Charles R. Sum- ma for Waterbury; Max Boyer and Louis WoU for New London: Clifford Sturges and Edward Reynolds, Elast Haven; Stanley D. Morgan and Fred Davis, Waterford; Jean Bachand and Henry Richardson, Putnam; State Senator Warren Field, Milford; Joseph Olancondlho and Francis Baut, Dqrby; Russell A. Andrews, WilllmanUc.
Andrews waS'named for the Interim term untlK June 80; and Baut was named for both the interim term and the fu ll' ti^ y e a r term beginning in July.
The committee also approvafl the nominations of Rep. F i ^ W. Holbrook of Madison sad Edward W. Rafflle of W est, Haven to be New Haven county commissioners- And It approve an unopposed bill provld l^ that aJl Danbury city officlala be elected biennially at the mayoral election every other March.

Assembly Manners SUicliecl in ClassesFor the past few weeks fresh
men and sophomore English classes have been studying assembly etiquette. This discussion was brought on by the actions o f the. pupils at' the Latln-Amerlcan assembly. Mr. Robinson and the teachers were quite shocked at the attitude of the students toward this program, which required a great deal of, woMc on toe part o f toe Social Studies departments. The teachers felt that toe students did not take the right attitude toward this assembly, which was' designed to instruct the pupils about South America. They felt that toe actions of the students might suggest mockery o f our neighbors to the south.
Discussion perio<ls were held In niany classes. In others, compositions were written. These oempositions told the faults of toe students during toe. assembly and -ideas were given on how the faults might be corrected, One. class held discussion periods and a code of rules will be drawn up.

Manchester High received a visit from one of its alumni last week. Alan Watts, ’42. Alan enlisted in toe Army Air Corps not long ago. and he has just completed nine weeks of .pre-fiight training in Louisiana.
Alan, studying to be a navlga^ tor. has found that the algebrw and trig which he had in high School have helped him a great deal. As a matter o f fact, he said, "apparently the more one knows of these subjects, toe better it is.”
In the A ir Corps test, one-third of the questions are devoted to routine vocabulary questions and the remainder is composed of current events, mathematics and a sprinkling of, history.
The life o f a cadet is no bed of roses. " I t ’s tougher than {hey •say." declared Alan. In Louisiana he was up every morning bright and early at six o’clock. Breakfast was served at seven and from eight to eleven he attended- classes. Following one hour of calisthenics and another of running (usually a mile or two), came classes again, after which came an hour o f drill. Supper is served between five and six o’clock, and then rome toe evening classes. On top of this, there is homework to be done. The only free time a cadet has is Saturday afternoon and Stmday.
The diaclpllne in the Corps is very strict, especially on toe parade groimd. I f someone "passes out” during a parade, no one is to help him. The others simply step over him snd keep right on marching. He Is .ater picked up by toe “meat wagon." Alan told of one instance where a fellow keeled over while standing at 'sO tention in front of a large group. Rather toap drop bis saber, toe officer simply fell fiat on his face. No one batted an eye or made any attempt to help him.
Alan will receive the commission o f a second lieutenant In flf- te>n weeks, and will be the first in the class of ’43 to do so. A fter he receives his commission, be hopes to enter toe ferry oom- xuAnd.
Alan will go from MancbeMcr to Coral Gables, Florida, where he Wttl nsumc bis train!

Many seniors got together and gave him a surprise-going-aw'ay* party Monday night: in toe course of events, one of those present presented him with an envelope containing upwards of thirty dollars, representing toe donations of thirty-one Seniors and one Sophomore.
Pete, who came to Manchester High from Eaglebrook private school, has been an honor student throughout his high school career. Starting in his Freshman and Sophomore years in the .College Classical course, he switched to the College Scientific Course in his Junior year, during which he was one of two college prep students to carry toe double load of five subjects: not only did he attain hopor grades in all five, but he served efficiently in the capacity of Exchange Editor of toe World. A t the end of the year, he was awarded the Harvard Book prize, the prize awarded to the outstanding student in the junior class each year. During toe past two terms, he has served as assistant editor of the H. S. World.
Although he never quite made his letter in track and crosscountry, Pete showed his tenacity of sticking to toe job in both sports throughout his three years of high school. Last year, he just missed his letter by one place, when he was nosed out by an op- ponc t In toe last track meet of toe season.

Just about everyone in school got s glimpse of the Army when Lieut. Jesse Stevens returned to school last week for a visit. A»my life agrees with him and we certainly were glad to see him back. We guess that every boy or girl who was ever in any o f his classes went up to him and wished him Uo best of luck. One freshman girl we know especially idolizes Mr. Stevens (we can’t get used to calling him Lieute:iantl and she waa starry eyed when ahe saw him. A ll of which goes to prove that Lieut. Stevens has as big a place as ever in the hearts of MHS students. Best of luck!

The A r t claases are about to begin actual work on toe nsmouflag- ing ot an actual town. Ptevioualy they bsvw been studying the methods snd techniques i t this important work snd are about to supply their knowledge.
In preparation for the tectura the Btudtnta have prtoarwl quea-

M.H.S. students were entertained at an assembly consisting of three movies on February 2 in the assembly hall.
The first movie entitled "The Story of Doctor Carver" was the story of the life of George Washington Carver.- a Negro who did much to help toe farmers of toe South.
His life history is traced from the time of his birth, when he was stolen, with his family, to be sold in exchange for a horse, as a slave. However, toe msn who bought him was very good and kind. He noticed that toe colored boy liked to read and study books better than work so he sent him to school. Later Carver graduated from college with a Master of Science degree.
Dr. Carver advised planting peanuts on half of the cotton land every other year, thus rotating the crops.
Shortly after, when toe boll , weevil attacked the cotton the I farmers struggled along on their I income from toe peanuts. Soon, so many peanuts were raised that toe prices went way down. ■ ■
The farmers again came to Dr. Carver for help. He Immediately set to work to discover new products made from toe peanut plant. Some of toe new products he made are: Soap, dyes, peanut oil, ink. Ice cream. Ice cream cones, axel grease, face cream, meat sauce, peanut butter, candy bars, and muscle cream for aiding muscles of those who are suffering from infantile paralysis.
The second picture entitled Ski-E^ata" was a movie about
skiers who go high into the mountains to enjoy this sport.
The schixil for the beginners commenced by toe skiers learning how to bend their knees. How to turn around on skis wa-s also shown. How to climb a hill wa,s shown very humorously. Many scenes of skiers flying down a mountain on skis were shown
The third movie entitled ’ 'The Sport Parade" showed experts In bowling. How toe ball stiould be thrown, the approach, the way of
I wr • [holding the ball, and tricks In Record Voices an demonstrated.their techniques showing the use o f toe curve and how to knock all the pins down.
Recordings o f each pupU’t voice have been made In'‘ the first, second and third period English class- 1‘^hem Gremlins” es of Miss Helen Page, which for | the past five weeks have been studying speech.
Over eighty pupils have been given the opportunity to talk Into a microphone, and within toe time it takes to change toe radio button, hear, sa if by magic, bow their own voices sound. Many pupils Were startled at hearing their own voices and did everything but disown them. Most of the records came out very well with very little scratch.
On one side ot each record waa the compulsory book report. On the other side the pupil may either give a speech to entertain or interview a fellow classmate. Most of the speeches to entertain were exceptionally good and had the other students lau gh )^ so hard that qome laughs can be heard on the records. Robert Alvord, ’44. t<ild of his experience working with a tractor grass-cutter at Rocky-Neck State Park. Accord- inE to Bob, be did a better ji3b cutting up the machine than he did the grass.
Jewell Averill gave a very de- lightfiii conception,o f the li<e of the. average student in 1993. She had students riding to school in sky transports, never any homework. and a push ot the button to finish fam ily chores. A fter her speech she was asked. "W ho’s go. ing to push the button?”

Fairer ^hariii^Of Meat Seen
Wa.ihington. Feb. 4—(.Pi—Fairer distribution o f mast among stores within a few weeks was predicted today by officials of toe Office of Price Administration.
They expressed confidence that this would result from toe promulgation of their new standardized retail meat prices.. The first Of these, on pork, will be Issued in tw-o w-eeks, and subsequent rules on beef, veal, lamb and mutton are scheduled to follow between that date and the beginning o f meat rationing, approximately April 1
The new prices are expected to cure some inequities among Individual stores. A t present retail meat prices must not be higher than each Individual store charged for similar cuts In March, 1942 .Tills has "squeezed” those stores —particularly chain stores and other cut-rate establishments — whose March, 1942, retail prices weren't high enough to cover pres ent wholesale costs.

Matter for Reds
Citizeiifl Must Conserve But No Real Shortage Seen; New SupplySources Opened.
■ -------- rBy ,\ltun Blakenlee
Baltimore, Feb. 4—(iPi—Columbus sought toe "Spice islands" and discovered America. . . . White men questing for new foods wrote page after page of adventure, exploration. conquest and empire in toe turbulent course of history.
Wars once were fought to open trade routes for spices and tcai. , Now war is stifling those routes.
But, although toe Japanese tentacle of conquest has gathered In much of toe Dutch East Indies and neighboring lands, the American people will have enough tea and spices, used conservatively, to last through the war. That is the belief of J. Simpson LuttrelL vice- president of one of the United States’ largest tea and spice importing firms.
He describes the picture thisway:
The green and black teas of Chins, Japan, and Formofta have been cut off for a year and a half or more, and the nation’s tea now comes mosUy from India and Ceylon. Japan seized the tea areas of the East Indies, especially Java and Sumatra, When that happened. the old policy of toe Dutch and British to limit production to maintain prices was ended, luid tea gardens in India and Ceylon are being made to produce all they can.
Sales Cut 50 Per CentSales of tea have been cut by
50 per cent to stretch out supplies. Sinkings and other destruction have cost approximately 100,000.- 000 pounds or more, about the amount used by the U. S. last year.
From Brazil comes mate, which tea experts say must be considered as another drink, rather than as a substitute for tea. Mate is an l\erb tea. lighter in-color than regular tea, and of a somewhat smoky flavor.
Some tea is grown in South Amerlqg, but toe gardens there have not reached a stage of cultivation equal in value to toe British teas. Teas can be grown in North America, but labor costs are prohibitive. Such production normally could not compete with tea grown cheap labor in India and the East indies.
Normal Supplies Suffer As for spices, normal supplies
have suffered heavily from war.

‘Practical Experience in First Salesmanship” waa explained: by Mary-Topping, and Henry Wlttke j spoke on ushering and keeping order at a local theater: Elden Kper gave “ Unusual Happenings When toe World Was Scheduled to End."

Radio Solves Problem Of Salary Limitation
New York, Feb. 4—(JP)— So far<^ On the other hand radio’s ownas toe radio is concerned, this question of salary limitation seems pretty well along toward a solution, v ^ lle apparently no hard and fast poHey has been laid down, various developmenls have indicated how the situation ia%oing.
For one thing, there has been sn Increase in toe exchange o f radio stars which one entertainer will show up in another’s broadcast In these instances there Is no direct transfer o f money. __
Some programs which did use guests have dropped the idea, at least for the time being.
Coupled therewith is a tendency to reply to a greater extent on radio developed talent. 'This has resulted In some further changes in program format.
Lessening In the number of Hollywood guest stars who might be regarded as roming within toe high-priced classlflcation has become apparent, although there seems to be nearly as much movie talent on the air aa ever. What’s been happening it that an entertainer will do a sort of guest-star run. making a aeries o f appearances in varioua programs almost one after toe other.
On a related development has been an extended use of radio acta on the Broadway stage. A half- dosen or more from toe micro- phone have landed parts this season. Also toe moviee have extended their borrowing from toe kilocycles roster.
high-priced talent is not so numerous nor so far above toe limit that certain minor adjustments fail to bring it in line.

voice of optimism ha.s sounded a rallying cry for baaeball since the War 'Manpower Commission Issued its list of non-essential Jobs.
I t came last night from Branch Rickey, president of the Brooklyn Dodgers, who defended toe value of baseball for morale and said; “ It la certainly to be assumed that toe government did not leave out toe job classification of baseball players by oversight."
Taking issue with toe pe.saimis- tic reactions of other major league owners, Rickey asserted in a sUte- ment that if toe assumption were correct that omission o f baaeball as non-essential was no oversight, “Then the Manpower Commission must have believed that certain professional activities In toe field of recreations should be (xmtinu^ and that these activities properly regulated are worthwhile agents in toe maintenance of toe fighting morale, not only of our home folk but o f our armed forces in America and throughout toe world. . . . W e think that whatever keeps up the spirit o f our people U a good thing.”
Sports are continuing in Great Britain and in Russia, he said. “A t toe very time when toe siege of Leningrad and Moscow were most threatening, a game of soccer in the famous Dynamo Stadium in Moscow was attended by approximately 100,000 people.”
‘I f sports are permitted to interfere remotely in the war effort they should not be tolerated for one minute,” he said, “but if they continue as a helpful agent in the field of public morale, “ then they should be encouraged and sustained by toe government Itself. And most surely, so long as there is doubt about it. the question should be resolved in favor of public morale."

Burl Freddie is Ckiwles' target, luid, instead of c(nnplimenting to# Toledo drill master for a Job well done. Dartmouth’s head man criticizes him for bring^ing to a new position the finest team toe Big Green has seen this season.
What did Cowles expect Friddle to do,., and why docs he suppose 'Toleilo hired him ?
“ I f you thought Harold Anderson ( Friddle’s p r e d e c a t s o r ) brought them in," says Cowles, “ you should see the slx-f(K>t two- inch Negro, Dave Minor.”
Cowles asserts that Minor, “who cait ositjump a kangaroo,” put in a season as a professional by way of preparing to be a Toledo freshman.

As to toe professional angle, a kid wouldn’t be a kid If he passed. up an opportunity to pick up a few bucks on the side in a game at which he excelled, and what could be more natural than Indiana basketball sharks following (3oach Friddle of Indiana to the University of Toledo?
Minor is from Cary, but Friii- db coached, obviously with great success, the other members of his all-frosh varsity at Fort Wayne high schools—six-foot eight .Jim Glass. (Jharley Harmon, Bob Boly- ard and Art Grove.
Dartmouth travels more than any other team in the Eastern League. I t is smart of Cowles to get toe jump on toe others by having his squad tackle formidable arrays on the road before playing av/ay from home In its own circuit.
Dartmouth has no kick coming about Toledo in regard to experience gained. The White Indians nave yet to win one there.

, Speaking of team strength, how about Dartmouth’s? The Big Green has won the last five Eastern League championships and has a running start toward a sixth.
Cowles, who hails from there, liasn’t done badly with boys from the middle west.
I f there is so much emphasis on it and basketball js conducted so loo.sely at Toledo, you. wonder why Dartmouth goes out there season after season. Cowles doesn’t leave yoii hanging long. '
"Toledo has a good gymnasium, " \ he explains. "Our games attract 10 or 11.000 spectators. We make money out there”
Business Is business, it seems, even in the Ivy League.
A fter taking a belt at Burl Friddle and Toledo. Cowles practically breaks his arm patting him.self on the back in telling what a tou)fh league is the Ivy group. He Insists it it SM tough as ariy In the country,
Ossie Cowles should have told that to the Toledo freshmen.

,4P Features Sports Editor^New York, Feb. 4—Once in a
long, time you can spot a kid fighter, going a few rounds in one of the preliminaries, ahd tab him as a certain champion-to-be.
He'll have class. He’ll be /fast and a clever boxer and a /bard hitter and he'll look good' “ "V" way you consider him. / You'll go away from the arei^ satisfied you’ve seen a ooy who one night will win a world cham- pion.shlp.
Allle Stolz wa.s a kid like that. Four years ago the sports writers were predicting that a crown would be Allie’s.
Moves Along l-'ast He came along ait right until
Petey Scalzo kayoed him late in 1939. All the next year he had only two fights, winning both. But again in Slay, 1942, hr got his chance at the lightweight title That night. Champion feammy An- gott was just a trifle too “good for him. A little later. Allie whipped Chalky Wright, the feathei-weighl | titleholder. In a non-title bout j
His second chance at the light-4 weight_tltle came late last year. Sammy Angott retired and Allle waa matched with Beau Jack with the winner likely to move on to the championship. ’ But Beau 4ack stopped him with a bmllv gashed eye in seven round.* The other night Allie t(H>k on Willie Pep. 'Chalky Wright’s .siicce.s.sor as featherweight ruler, and was roundly beaten.

Allied Successes Alarm Japanese
Curl) on Gasoline , Sales Is Lifted
Hartford, Feb. 4—(/Pi—Connecticut gasoline stations which operate on a 24-hour basis may, beginning today, sell fh el' at any time to holders of "T’ ’ ration cards and to vehicles carrying certificates of war necessity the state branch of the OPA reported.
Formerly, 24-hour stations could sell motor fuels to all cars for 12 hours a day, but only to cars with 'T ” stickers during the rest of the time.
Chungking. Feb. 4. — AChinese Army spokesman said today that Japan had sent mors "gunfodder Thai troops" to reinforce three Thailand divisions on the Yunnan-Burma border where he said fighting was continuing.
He said Japan was feeling a manpov^er shortage, was alarmed at Allied successes, and was using the Thai troops to conserve her own strength.
Besides the manpower drain, ba told a press conference, the Japanese are suffering a shortage of resouroM.
They Mve launched a fresh drive for scrap ’ih^tal in occupied areas of Clilna, bamboo-made obstructions have replaced barbed-wnre entanglements, and many enemy ships plying the Yangtze have mounted dummy guns, he asserted.

To Coiitiiiiie Dimes Drive
Lecture Is Given To Nurse's Aides
Dr. N. H. Bailey, deputy health officer of the City of Hartford, gave an interesting lecture to the Volunteer Nurses Aides last night at the Y. M. C. A. on the Public Health setup in Hartford, and told of the fine work the different branches of that department arc doing.
Dr. D.C.Y. Moore of the Manchester Board of Health showed slides and explained the early and advanced stages, and treatment of communicable diseases.
About sixty Nursea Aides were in attendance, including many who have completed their quota of hours of training, and othera at present at the Memorial hospital, taking the course.
Loral Committee Aiix- iouH to Raise $5,000 Before Campaign EmisManchester’s Mile O’ Dimes
campaign la continuing. Despite the fart that an amount exceeding last year’s total has already been donated. Chairman Jack Sanson announced that the general committee will keep working until the goal o f 95,000 la reached. Walter Buckley, treasurer, gave a ’total of 91.500 at last night’s gen-, •eral committee meeting which was held In Harold Garrity’a o ffice.
Plana are being worked out with teachers and principals of the local schools, whereby students of all grades will have the opportunity to contribute to the Infantile Paralysis as a class. Close cooperation with the schools and the committee in this respect will make It possible for sttidents to give the campaign a good boost towards the goal.
Ball On Februar}' 29Plana for ticket disposal were
mapped out last evening also, and a general coverage of the town through the medium of the telephone directory ia planned. Tickets are for the President’s Birthday Ball which will be held on February 29. The complete general committee will work on the plan for ticket disposal. John Matthews is chairman of the ticket committee.
Contribute In HartfortA diacii.salon was held at last
vening’s meet, concerning the problem of Manchester folks who go to Hartford with the money which they obUin for the Mile O’ Dimes. ' This has happened in several instances, and Manchester has lost out in this manner. Mr. Sanson volceff the opinion that this would not happen again in the future since Manchester needs every dime and dollar to reach the announced goal.
The huge milk bottle which netted over 9350’ last Saturday Is
going to be put to work again, .since it is planned ' to tour the North End of the town with it, and* also to place it at-the gates of several industrial plants here in town. A t present it ia. placed at the Center.
Entertainment is planned for this evening, should the weather allow, and Chick Aaronson and Leo Watts with his Blue Ridge Mountaineers will be at the North End at 7:30 p. m. Later they will al.so appear at the South End Stand in front of the Trust Company.

In the afternoon the visitors will be taken on a tour of the •station laboratories to see the experiments on non-copper fiingl- cide.s. labor-.saving spray methods, high producing hybrid vegetables and other phases,of research connection with the war effort.
Each Garden club is entitled to send two delegates to this meeting. Those attending are advised to bring their own lunch and the committee will serve a hot drink at noon. The Experiment station ia only a block from the bus line, and about a mile and a half from the railroad station.
Water Supply Is Given Test
Over 800 Gallons Per Minute for Emergency Use in Town.TTie big artesian well on the
property of the old Rogers Paper mill plant on Charter Oak street which was purchased by the town after fire destroyed the mill over a year ago has been hooked up with a new pump and was given a preliminary test a few days ago.
Supt. Parker of the Water Department secured a suitable marine type xas motor and a pump of proper capacity, after overcoming many priority handicaps ^nd the equipment is now assembled in a building at the well and Is in running order. The motor has a 100 H,—P;-ratinK with the reduction gears now being used on it and will make 1400 R. p. M.
800 Gallons a Minute A t the preliminary test it was
found that the motor and pump would produce over 800 gallons of water per minute with 19 lbs pres- only 1200 R. P. M. This indicates a favorable margin of power and pumping jsapacity in event it-*was needed.'
In making the test first, a 1 1-2 inch pipe was connected to the pump so that the flow could be turned in the brook nearby and 8.50 gallons per minute was pumped at 100 lbs pressure. Next a 2 inch pipe was attacJied and 800 gallons o f water per minure was pumped at 46 lbs pressure. Next coupled to a main leading to a fire hydrant in the old mill yard the pump delivered 750 callons of water per mliiutd^ wlthl9 lbs pressure flowing directly out of the hydrant without' a nozzle of any sort.
In making thia first test a twenty-foot length of suction-pipe was lowered into the well. —
No Test of '('apac’ityBy the end of the teat the pump
ing had reduced the 'water level In the well to the end of the suction pipe used but this does not necessarily give a definite indlcaUon of the capacity of the well as a longer suction pipe can be used arid as a rule the rate of fall of water in such wells tapers off as the length of auction pipe reaches down into the well.
Manchester has reason to be pleased that this big well is available and hooked up for emergency to supplement the natural supplies
in case o f the system 'being put out of order by bombing or sabotage. Any water storage dam la a wide open U rget but the poaaibUitiea o f this auxiliary pump houaa and equipment being hit would probably be a thousand to one.
There are two other wells which can and will be hooked up to thia emergency supply. Eventually connections will be made so that this
ell water can be pumped director into the mains o f Ufa Town Water Department.

Replaces Imperial Council by War Commit-
'■'tee; Seen Result of Casablanca P a r l e y .Allied Headquarters in North
Africa, Feb. 6— (/Pi—The French 'perial council” set up by the
late Admiral Darlan was replaced today by a War committee designated by Gen. Henri Giraud in a move believef' to be a direct result of his conferences with President Roosevelt ana Prime Minister Churchill at Casablanca.
The new committee was regarded as less strongly political in character than its predecessor and i'lZ creation apparently opened the door for further developmepts In the "lirison agreement” reached at Casablanca by Giraiid and Gen. Charles De Gaulle, Fighting French leader.
5lonibeni O f C'Ummtttee The members of the War com
mittee include Giraud as commander-in-chief for military and civil affairs; Jen Bergeret, who is given the new title of secretary- general to the commander; Gen. Auguste Nogues. governor-general of French Morocco; Pierre Bois- son, governor-general of West Africa, and Marcel Peyrouton, new governor-p neral of Algeria.
The personnel thu.a is the same as in the Imperial council, but it was announced that the committee might be augmented ”by any personali” es the commander in-chief may designate’’—a state, m nt generally taken to mean that posts would be left open for representatives of De Gaulle at sone future date.
The tone of the announcement created the impres.sion th ^ difli cultios impeding the G i»ud-De Gaulle Liaison program had been smoothed out in London and that it would bear fruit shortly. It was believed that Gen. Georges Catroux. Fighting French high commissioner in Syria, . would come to Algiers soon to take a place in Giraud's administration.
, Lessen Curbs on Jews The first acts of the committee
were to announce several measures lessening .restrictions on Jews, order the release of political internees, promise certain labor reforms and dis.solve the ”SOL” (Service Order of Legion- naire^l-vA Fascist type section q ^ fh e French Veterans Associa- jifion designed to pet aa a sort of North African Gestapo.
These reforms also apparently were a reflection of the Casablanca conferences. .

The loss of the Italian empire In Africa, diplomatic obsei-vers said, was a terrific blow to the personal prestige of II Duce.
