American Troops Dis' cover *Murder Factory*

' Rivallihg'Any Fiction House o f Horror.

Limburg, Germany, Aprtl 10— (/F)—American troops have discov­ered a. German “murderfactory,” rivalUng any house of horror dreamed up by fiction ■ writers, where it is estimated 20,000 per­sona viewed by the Nazis as “un­desirables,’’ were systematically slain.

Located in an insane asylum near Limburg, the terror-filled es- tablishmellt waa in charge of a tall, scar-faced 70-year-old Nazi surgeon, assisted by a husky 45- yesr-old chief woman’s nurse and middle-aged chief warden. Allied officers said. On the staff were SS (Elite Guard) officers from Ber­lin.

Tales told by German residents of the village o f Hadamar, four milea north of Limburg, led U. S. First Army officers, Lieut George Walker of Deshler, Ohio, and Capt Alton H. Jung of San Antonio, Tex., to question officials in the village, and resulted in- locating the asylum.

MsJ. Harvey M. Coverly, Sau- aalito, Cailf., ordered the arrest of the three in charge of the "fac­tory,” said by the officerfa to be one o f six set up by the Nazis in-

WashiniHon. April 10— (jP)War production may be cut, much as 50 per cent within a year following V-E day Instead of the 35 per cent officially forecast.

This prediction, indicating civilian goods output well above that of 1939 in dollar value, was attributed today to WPB CHialr- man J. A. Krub by automobile manufacturers who conferred with him in Detroit last week.

The motor men, after a meeting of the Automotive Council for War Production here, said Krug gave the assurance , that every “get-ready” atep toward recon­version o f the country’* biggest industry Would be set in motion immediately after V-E day.;

"W eH be ready to cut loose within a matter of hours or days, not weeks, after V-E day," Krug was quoted. "We hope we can do something on machine toola before then."

George said aeveral Senate com- aritteea have been poking around without inicceee iiito executive de­partment operations in search of an estimate on future foreign, loans and grants.

Tbs trouble, he asserted, is that the oIBcisIs congreaaionsl com­mittees can get before them don’t know about long range projects— which originats at the White House—much before Congress finds out. Then, he said, commit- msnta may have been made that would be embarrassing not to fifl- flU. .

“The Eighth Army, ground ac­tion was preceded by heavy air bombardment," an official an­nouncement said today. “ Fight­ing continues.”

Ends Prolonged Lull The smash across the Senio end­

ed a prolonged winter lull in that sector of the Itallpn front.

The combined mfg^t of the U. S. 15th and 12th Air Forces and R. A. F. battleplanes was throwin in­to an aerial onslaught yesterday Intended to obliterate Nazi de- fenaea thrown up on the west bank of Ihe river for a considerable depth.

AmeHcSns on the Fifth Army sector were alao on the offensive, with the U. S. 473rd Infantry regi­ment. operating with the 92nd division, fighting its way into the southern outskirts of Maasa against growing enemy resistance.

The Britlah troops had slightly less than a nille to go beyond the Senio to reach Lugo. 13’ 4 miles west o f Revannea.

While the British destroyer Marne continued to pump shells into Gerinan positions the 92nd division’s 307th Infantry regiment ■urged forward along the Ligurian coastal plpin to within a few huZfe tired yattja of the Frigido r/ver west o f Masaa.

Neither Crossing ConfirmedMoscow dispatches reported

that Tolbukhln’s forces had cross­ed the Danube immediately north­west of .Vienna near Nuzsdorf and were believed to have gotten across some 12 miles farther up stream in the vicinity of Tulin. Neither crossing has been official­ly confirmed by the Soviet high command.

The one at Nuzsdorf constitutes part of the operation by the Sec­ond and Third Ukrainian Armies to .close the l7-mlle escape ave­nue out of the Austrian capital. The crossing at Tulin apparently waa aimed at Prague, 139 miles away.

While the Berlin radio claimed the Germans still were opposing the Russians "with wild stubborn­ness” in Vienna, Moscow dis­patches pictured the carved up Nazi garrison a a ’’disorganized mob fighting to escape from the city.” .

The western front is that in name only. There is no real Ger­man front left. The resistance now being encountered by American forcea, except in the Ruhr pocket, it unorganized and little more than strong guerrilla opposition. ’

For example, the Ninth Army spearheads driving east toward Berlin since bypassing the Ruhr have not encountered a single or­ganized German division. They have been met only by convales- centa, anti-aircraft crews and some several hundred odd units ordinarily found only in rear areas.

Military men feel the Germans are incapable of erecting any bat­tle front in the weat, except per­haps for a short stand along the EHbe and immediately before Ber­lin itself.

In the .words of one operations officer, the situation In the weat ia now "mor, o f a political th»n a strategic' problem.”

Slmpaon’a Ninth Army, waa officially commttided by M ^or Oanaral Rabart C. Ma< Bon for bamc tha v iy first Amei^ lean doughboys to crom the rtvaf.

In a recent writeup in the "88rd Spearhead” it tells how Co. E, un* d«r Lieut Canard Van Kirk of In- dapmdenee. Mo., puahad forward through the barbed wire, over Jer­ry trenches, between and around factory buildings to reach the riv­er’s edge. Artillery fire began to tall around the open field and the assn were forced to hug the ground.

Pfc. Robert Weir. T. Sergt Mi­chael Shlko, a. Sergt. George Kakler, Pvt, Clayton Warner, Pfc. Harold Wraach, Pfc Andy Loy and

, ,Pfc. R a r^ Bartlett, with Van 'K lt^ crowded into one small shell'

bole.Aa dawn broke the barrage Uft-

ad'and the opportunity to advance arose again. They creased over 1.- 800 yards of open terrain in the midst of heavy mm direct ack-ack fire coning from across the Rhine; In open waves, with fixed, bayo- netik these doughboys diarged. They converged on the factory a«iiist.ige from two aides.

In -the meantime mortar fire p lg ]^ havoc with the enemy in the trenches, forcing ISO to sur- rendse. Then Co. B, moved in on the factory site, cleaning out the last po^ets o f resistance.

In the confusion of bAUe, riot one of these men could eliUm being the llrst at the Rhine-but they all agreed it was,

”JbSt another river, Juafanother stumbling block to Berlin.”

Pfc. ROtert Weir entered the U. 8. Army on July 17, 1M4, and reeelved his basic training at Camp Whalen,\Oeorgia,, After a brief furlough ^ home with his family in Mllford\Conn., he was shipped overseas t^.Prance. This raw ■ recruit, then a Private, quickly saw plenty of Act*°h. He went from Prance to Belnum and then to Germany. Then, after only being in the armed forces six months, he was chosen aa'one of the men to undertake the crossing of the Rhine.

“Our troops met enemy small arms and mortar fire in thair ad­vance,” a Fifth Army headquar­ters annoimceme.1t said ot the 92nd diiiaiaa’s thrust along the coast.

•‘Artillery fire, with the excep­tion of coastal guns firing from Punta and Bianca, was slight. More than 350 prisoners were tak­en. So far bifortnation received in­dicates that, in relation to the size of his forces invoked, the enemy has suffered heavy casualties. The casualties suffered by our forces were fairly light In comparison.'

The official account of activity on the Eighth Army front said nothing about the sector center­ing aroimd the town of Lugo, in the area satiirared by many tons of bombs.

Associated Press Correspond­ent Sid Feder, watching tha bomb­ing from a plane, reported that in addition to the concentration of air might he was able to see Hash­es from "scores-upon scorss” ot Allied field guns'in "what appear­ed to be a graerai softening up at enemy defenses which have stood up throughout the winter.”

More than 760 Am eriua and R.A.F. heavy bombets paiticlpatad ill yesterday’s doss support oper­ation immediately ahead of the Eighth Army.

From this striking force, which flew nearly 3,lft0 sorties, one heavy bomber and four other planes wers lost.

Even with such massing of strength to' obliterate Nazi de­fenses in the path of the Eightt Armv in the edgeg of the Po val­ley, the Mediterranean Allied Air Force had enough planes left over to continue blasting of German communications in southern Aus­tria. northehi Italy and 'Yugo- alavia.

' A bomb hit was scored on a Ger­man , Army headquarters in the B olo^a area, which was attacked by R. A. F. Spitfires and' South African Kittyhawka. Three other hits wrere made on enemy-occupied buildings nearby.

’Thousands of bomba rained on German targets firom neariy 3,000 planes in one of the biggest dis­plays of air power yet shown in the Italian theater.

George Palmer, Associated Preas correspondent who rode in one of the warplanes, said the British and American heavy bombara, 800 medium bombers, more thah 800 flghter-bombets and flgl.ter pUttsa by the score moved out, wave upon wave, and methodically laM waste the military targets.

Oo). Olodwyn Ptnlwton of dena, Chllf,, started It off wlwn he led a group'of Thunderbolt fighter- bombers blasting German gun positions.

Then waves of heavies dumped 175,000 bombs in a two-hour attack on areas east of Bologna.

Palmer said'he saw only one parachute drifting down.

ted 16,000 victlma were gaaaed * and cremated and another 6,000

killed by drugs or poison and bur led In commimal graves.

Hie stench of burning ' bOiSiea caused Hadamar residents to c«n- plain, and the blsh<m of Moenster, lodged protests wiOt the asylum officials. That caused the N aas to switch from gas to hypodennie In­jections and., from cremattoo to masa burial. '

The alayings were described ah •mercy killings" authorlised by a

\1B3B N ad statiite.\T w o Investigators, Capt. Brink- ley Hamilton, a British officer a t­tached to an American infantry division, and Lieut W. R. Johnson, Loveland, Oolo., told a macabre story of death and torture and?;bouUah feasts by drunken execu- ioners In the asylum, where 300

erased Imnatesi were permitted U ni- fr«e in underground dungeons.

“Nobody would believe it," u id 'Johnson. ‘T t had ; usdarground chambers with dripping Water, bate flying around-wad litjle crasy m m who Jumped out at you a t every step."

Of the N ad surgeon In cb^< ^ Johnson said: “I never saw - a . tougher looking man lit my life."

~kdded, “was to put ^ e death needle Into women patimta. waa about six feet tall, built like • football player aad aa ugly as a witch.”

Tha bead keeper, “a mouaey. looUng middle-aged a m who bad bem jnromoted from driving vic­tim s to tha asylum to the actual Job of doing w w ^^ w ith . them," gave tha officers the flrat Indica­tion of how the asylum operated, Johnson declared. «

"He told ns ttie asylum never h e n more than 800 patlenta and ahowad ua tha t there were only 481 gnvea la tha cemetery. There wars trash, empty graves, and w hm wa asked him ^ u t them he aald Tire ahraya hasp three graves

Rtf said that each morning the surgaoa director, tha head keeper and the nurse conferred on who would be killed tha t ^ y .

'*Oha aa s la tu t mid tha doctor was regardsd as a kind man be-

s tf oae of the victims fought against taking tha hypo needle the surgeon would not let the a t­tendants best him Into submls- rion," HsmUton racountad. “He Just let the man go without food until be waa too wealf to object.”

He aaid some of the victlma were “young children who were ball Jews."

Moat of tha vktiraa appeared to be Russian men and women work- era who couldn’t stand the strain of hard work and little food, the officers aald. Many Poles and some Dutch wara killed, but there was no evidence to prove that Belgians or French ware slain.'

’The “tentative understanding*’ on aU but one major Issue was re­ported by Ears Van Horn, wage conference chairman, yesterday. The unresolved demand was re­ported to Involve foremen.

Lewis, Inr one of Ms original 18 demands, asked that all but tha aupbrlntendent and one foreman a t each mine ba classed as a mine hrorker, thus making all other foremen eligible for direct union membership.

Secretary of Labor Peritlns, In her contract proposals which Lew­is aeoeptsd but tha oparatdrs turned down, suggested that Lewis revamp thla demand to c ^ o r m with a recent National LaWr Re­lations board derision recon lslng foramen as a proper coTlactlve bargaining u n it

While tha operators wara ba- Uavad to be raslstlBg the union­isation of supervisory employes aa long as they could, they arp un­derstood to prefer to have them in Lewis’ union than In some other organisation which might become ambrotlad In Jurisdiction­al aquabblea with tha UMWA.

vision^ If accepted, would In­crease the average miner’s pay 11.26 to $1.35 a day. Lewis’ 10- oent a ton royalty for a union “rainy day*’ fund, would be ex­cluded a t operator insistence.

Tn niost respects, the new con­tract is likely to follow Mias Per­kins’ proposals rather cloeely In exchange for abaq^nlng the roy­alty demand, she suggested giv­ing the miners their, main wage demand intact: Return to the sev­en-hour day with time and a half for work beyond each day.

Lewis was understood to have been given fun leeway by bla 260- man Policy committee, called Into special meeting yesterday, to arrite a contract on the basis of this tentative understanding.

Ih the case of Argentina, the United States and aU the other American natlmia yesterday fully recognised the goverpment of Gen. Bdebniro T. FarrsU to which they had turned a diplomatic cold shoulder for the 18 months th a t It haa been In power. Chiwt Britain and aome other noa-American atatea Joined In the reoognltkm move.

’The action was tidcen by the American countries on the basis of a resolution they adopted a t Mexi­co City last month inviUng; Argen­tina to put its pollciea in line with those of the other countries a t wAr wi th the AMs. ;

The next move expected here is a Buenos Alrae r s ^ a e t to the United States or some other Allied power for permission to Join the limited Netkma. SuA a request then would he transmitted tn the other Allied powers, among, them Russia,

That would bring in the-un­known quantity.

British policy toward Argentina now la In Une with that of this country and China would be ex­pected to go along In this Instance.

Rawls Sharply Orttloal Russia, on the other hshd, has

been sharply critical recently of the general course of the Farrell government. This criticism baa ap­peared in the Russian preas, iriilch normally is tA en aa a reflection of officials views: In diplomatie quarters here, however, this by no means is coMidered the w a l word on Russian policy.

Hence it is not known a t the mo­ment vdiether Russia would accept or reject an Argentine bid.

The United States’ attitude is expected to be neither to sponsor ncr to defend su A a move but to let Argentina’s vsoord and bar re­cent actiona speak for themselves.

Upon completion of 'school, Mr. Muller was assigrned to 30 days of orientation work in various Army camps, then shipped to the west coMt for assignment overseas. While awaiting the latter post, he viewed A e luxury liners in the west coast harbor and Aought that the trip into foreign waters would be a pleasure. ’This Aought waa quickly diminished from his mind when he was ordered along with several other Red Cross men to board a ship that had A e ap­pearance of an old tub. However, Ae ship served A e purpose and Mr. Muller landed safely In Mel­bourne, Australia.

From hero, 'a fter several weeks of training, he waa assigned to the F irst Marine Division on Guad­alcanal. He took part. In Aree campaigns, first which 'was In New Guinea.

Tht Lwt 60,000 NazisOna o f thd endleae aeriea of

•pdculaUona sboat the reported plan o f Hitler and his Naal Uerbrchy to make a last stand near Barehtaacadaa states that the final army o f reaiatance will consist o f aoms 80,000 men, chos* an tor the rois bocauae they are the toughest aad most fanatical men within the Nasi party, welK fittsd is ha the final bodyguard to Hitler aad tba ideas he represents. Hitler and this bodyguard hope to survive, or at least prolong their survival, whlls the rest of Ger­many perishes. I f Hitler and the Naiia wars true servants of Ger­many, they would have led Ger­many to surrender long ago. They have chosan to Increase the ruin o f Germany, to laereoae the cost o f a hopalass war, simply because that iwssiis a little longer life for them. They led Germany to its present fatk Thera they aban­don thalr country, in search of deaperata sanctuary for them- setiM

It is an interesting considera­tion that, by doing this, they may bo sssWng their own fate* mors definlMy and making their own dastruetion more certain than it would aver have boan if they had chosen to stay with the nation they have abused.

fh r if these 80,000 Nasls do make a last stand tn th i southsm mountain^ It is not likely that they will bo doing so imder the rules o f war. It is to be expected that, before the aamult on any such last mountain bastion be­gins, General Blsaihowar will pro­claim the end o f organised war in Germany. That proclamation will make any continued resistance outlaw in character, and free us from the ordinary rules of war. And if there are, in all Germany,

we would have, self-sorted for us, those 80,000 Germans who most d esem death from this war, those\W,000 Germans who most

Yet our carrier planes swarmed over the Tamato and her aquad ran in such uninterrupted ipfm- bare tbat they were in . f l u e n t dangar/of getting in oi^ 'anoth ­er’s d ay. It was almost an in­evitable conclusion that the Ya- mato would be suRki

This bold seskthg of a hopeless battle, this snterlng b hopeless battle without the air cover which is now a. imitine element of any naval action, is a recogniseable part o f Japanese psychology—the p^h Q logy of hara-kiri. This was s ban sal charge at sea. The Jap Army and the Japanese people may keep asking where their navy is, but it is not likely that the navy will again have the ships to try to make an answer. Per­haps 'ia few more units will come out and seek their own end. But the Japanese Navy will flght no more battles In this war. Or any other war.

A Whirlwind SuccessChairman Everett McKinney and

his very efficient co-workers can be pleased indeed with the re­sults o f their one day whirlwind canvass for the United National Clothing Drive. The convenience of one time, one method to t col­lection obviously paid dividends. The routine for giving was simple and understandable, making it easy for the public to cooperate. With everything so efficiently ar­ranged, Manchester could and did give handsomely.

From this whirlwind campaign there came an almost instant vic­tory, bringing recognition from Henry J. Kaiser, national chair­man of the drive, who saluted Manchester for being the first community in- the country to at­tain its quota, and from Governor Baldwin.

ArffratiiiR RecognizedV fte r more than a yean oK,es-

trangement, in which almost idl of the nations o f this hemispheres and our allies abroad joined Unit­ed States dlifiomacy in refusing recognitlim to the new dictator­ship in Argentina, there is today

tide o f diplomatic recognition of that dictatorship, with the United States in the van.

This is, for us, a compromise between our principle and the realities of hemisphere politics. We could, if we lived in an idealis­tic vacuum, never have any rea­son for approving or recognising this Argentine regime, even though it jiaaJBnallyjipno through the motions of declaring ^ r on our enemies. If we had our way, it would be to call a free election in Argentina. And in favoring such a thing, we would be right.

We are not operating in an Idealistic vacuum, but in a hem­isphere where we are the biggest and most powerful nation. It Is part of the present situation that We have, in the past, sometimes used our size and power in a man­ner which created a hemisphere suspicion of us which not even more than a decade of "Good Neighbor" policy has been able to cure completely. And, in this present situation, our danger was that If we were the ones who pressed' too strongly for our view of . what would be right in Argen­tina, our fellow American nations would pay less attention to oiir principle than they would our assumption of a hemisphere law- giving role.

With Argentina, we went as far as we could without having other American nations regard us as the big bully of the north. By not going farther than that, we made i t . possible for the olive branch to Argentina, and the re- cejition of Argentina back into the hemisphere world, to be a bsmiaphers affair.

The clerk's voice, a good, John L Sullivan voice, droned on:

Unfavorable reports. Senate Bill No. 488. An act defining Judi­cial Department and providing for the administration thereof.. Unfa­vorable report of the Committee on the Judiciary."

The buzz of conversation out­side the Senate circle was loud and persistent. The spectators were obviously not there to hear the death of this measure. They had never heard of it. They buzzed on, as a senator, Albert Coles of the 22nd, took the floor;

There was perhaps one-third of tne Senate listening as he began by saying that he was speaking as a member of the Judicial Study Commission, created by the Gen­eral Assembly and appointed by the General Assembly and the Governor, two years ago to bring in legislation for court reform in Connecticut. 'v

/A s such a member.' wm ^new . what study and work the com- mlsaion had done, he was- a Ut­ile disturbed at the “ short shrift” being given this, one of the principal measurM recom­mended by the CommIsaloB, a measure designed to put system and orgaaisatloii Into the state's judicial departttaent.There were, he reali;^d,., objec­

tions to some of the provisions in the biU. But at least he thought, these provisions deserved to re­ceive some discussion, the Judicial Study Commission,' having done its job as it was assigned to do it by the General .Assembly, deserved to have its recommendations re­ceive at least some serious consid­eration. .

The some score gallery conver­sations in progress buzzed on, al­most louder thaii /Senator Coles as. In what he. called a token ef­fort to secure more serious con­sideration for the judicial reform program, he moved that the bill in question be recommitted to the committee on Judiciary. By this time, perhaps half the Senate was listening.

Majority Leader RlsOassI of Hartford responded. The Judi­ciary Committee, he said, had been unanimous in voting aa unfavorable report on this meas­ure, not because there was no merit to the bill, portloas o f It being very good, but because the measure had to he consid­ered as one btU. With these things. Senator SisCaSsi ex­plained, the voting of aa unfa­vorable report merely shows that ths Legisiaturo knowfe that

Every garden shoilld be planned oii paper to Insure proper quanti­ties of each vegetable. A plan aids in ..timing plantings through suc­cessions! sowings and companion cropping, thus resulHng in an effi­cient year-round garden. Use a, heavy, tough piece of paper fpr your plan, one you can take out in the gardea Fasten it to a board and mark off lightly in inch squares, using water-proof ink, or indelible lead, each square repre­senting two feet. Large gardens may be drawn at the scale o f four feet to an inch. Then with taped or paced measurements, make a record on the plan of the garden outline and its immediate sur­roundings. Notations should, be made on the plan, showing all nearby trees and shrubs, house, garage, fences and other features which may cast shade or interfere with your garden.

Locate the garden where it will receive a maximum of sunlight, at least six hours during the mid­dle o f the day. Shade from trees and buildings should be avoided, although some leaf crops, such aa New Zealand spinach, collardsand broccoli do fairly well in partial shade, if the soil is rich and other growing conditions are favorable.

Tomatoes, corn, cucumbers, pota­toes, carrots and beets demand lots of sunlight Tree roots sl^pv^d not encroach on the garden since they rob needed moisture and plant food-from crops.

Next step is to make a list of vegetables favored by your fam­ily. Experts from the U.. 8. De­partment of Agriculture tell us that the greatest need ia for green leafy jregetables— lettuce, spin­ach, chard, kale, cabbage, -beet and turnip tops; yellow vegetables — carrots, beans, squash, turnips, onions, and tomatoes. Corn and potatoes take up a lot of room, but may be planted if the garden is large.

In theory, north and south rows are best, because, as the sun moves from east to west, it shines on both sides of the plants. But to prevent erosion and rapid run-off of moisture, rows should not run up and down the slope. In any case, taller growing vegetables—com, pole beans and staked tomatoes —should be placed on Jhe north side to prevent their shadows fall­ing on lawer-growing cropsj As*- paragus and rhubarb, most com­monly planted perennial vegeta­bles, should be planted in a sepa­rate bed.

dinner paa held by Company No.I o f toe Mancheeter fire depart­ment at the fire bouse last nlgbt. Howard Keeney acted aa toast­master and the committee on arrangements consisted of James Cummings, Harry Cuatar, William Griffin and Howard Keeney.

Following toe dinner, Leon Thorp, president of the district. Chief Roy Griswold, Chief Samuel Gordon of the Police department and former Chief John Limerick of the Manchester fire department were called utmn for remarka.

Principal SpeakerJohn Buscher, Special Agent of

the F. B. I. was secured aa speak­er of the evening by William Griffin. Mr. Buscher was intro­duced by Toastmaster Howard Keeney. He gave ah interesting talk on the activities of the F. B. I. and illustrated hia remarks with specific cases that he knew per­sonally. He outlined toe aet-up of the F. B. I. under toe Attor­ney General’s office o f toe De­partment, of JugUce and spoke of the various Federal Departments and the law enforcement they are charged with. Eiach agency has specific Instructions as to what cases they may or may not in­vestigate.

Since toe beginning of the war the F. B. I. has been charged with the investigation of all sabotage, espionage, etc. Before the U. S. entered the war the F. B. 1. met with representatives of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps Intelli­gence Services and worked out a program whereby there would be as little duplication of effort as possible and whereby each service would be specifically charged with certain duties. It was agreed that these , varioua armed services would take ciare o f espionage and ■abotage within their own spheres and that the F. B. I. would take care "o f all civilian phases; The result' of this plan-’ nlng was that at the outset b f the war each knew-what his job was to be and a repetition of World War I sabotage was pcevented. When war waa declared the F. B. L had a good working knowledge of thousands o f known German agents. They were rounded up In a very abort while and their cases reviewed by'five men boards who had the right to pass on three decisions, internment, parole or release. Everything has been done to prevent the internment or conviction of innocent people.

Handled 18.000 OasesIn the period January, 1940 to

February, 1945, over 18,000 cases o f reported sabotage were bandied by toe F. B. I. Of these only 600 were found to be actual sab­otage cases and none was directed by a foreign power but were done torougdi peraonal Initiative. Mr. Buscher quoted a number o f spe- ciflo inatances o f aabotage, oBe o f which la given here.

It waa found at toe Glenn Mar­tin Plant that among 1,100 work­ers, ‘ someone was sabotaging bombers as they came off the as­sembly line. The FBI sifted the records o f all these 1,100 meh and found that just one man was re- kponsible for the trouble and that he was acting on his own Inttiativa.

Has 87 Field OfficesMr. Buscher also pointed out

Jhat toe FBI has now' 57 field offices and 96,000,000' fingerprints now On file in Washington. This identification Bureau is so efficient that Police Departments anywhere may call for information aqd can get a check on a person in aboutII minutes.

Mr. Buscher also touched oit other interesting subjects, includ­ing the impersonation of officera of

,0ur armed, forces. He went on to show that this has become quite a probleA and that hundreds-have been caught and convicted o f this offense. He also pointed oiit that juvenile delinquency was .increas­ing very rapidly and that U had tripled since the beginning of the

^ a r . A great deal o f this is due to toe fact that fatoera-and mothers are working and home traintng-la lacking. He said that they had a case in Ohio o f a group of boya all under 17, whd for the want M ex­citement, set put to do some wrecking, b u t. were fortunately caught before damage waa done. An investigation o f the nobrd Of these boys ahowed that toe ma­jority o r them had already been charged with vandalism. ^

length on toe great value o f the Police Schools that have been set up In Connecticut recently, there being one in Manchester, He said that the men are receiving.new and important training which wlU make them better able to cope with peacetime law enforcement It Is hoped by toe FBI that re­quests will come in from police de­partments everywhere for more o f this trslnlng. Comparing this training in praparation for antici­pated trouble, he likened it to 'toe O. C. D. which ment so much time prepariiv ^ raids on this country early in toe war.

April^lO—The foremost questioit of GI's here—even of toe combat soldier—is not “how will the bat­tle in Italy turn out” but ”how soon do I get home when it's over.’!

For he realises that the deatruc- tloh of the Nasi Annies in* the val­ley of toe Po will probably mark the real end o f organized German effort.

One thing aeema certain to me. It’a going to be much longer than the average man here thinks. It will probably be from 12 to 18 montoa after the occupation Arm­ies have reached Germany before toe last American troops embark from Italian aoll for home.

And In toe meanwhile thousands o f men will have marked time in' Italy awaiting deployment to toe Pacific. I f tola is a hard fact, aa I believe It to be after 's number of talks with military authorities here, it seems of vital importance to the morale of toe men of this theater—and everywhere else In' Europe— that they be. told it at the earliest possible moment.

Stands on Right to Gripe The American soldier stands Ir­

revocably on his right to gripe. But hi|f will always accept any hardship that’s laid upon him pro­vided he plainly undeiktands the patriotic and practical reasons for its imposition and provided that hardship. isn’t discriminatory.

He only asks that his leadership tell him the “ real score.” It was a most serious mistake in the past from a moral viewpoint to give an overseas soldier — particularly in toe Italian theater—a much too optimistic 'View of his real chances for getting home on rotation....

The mistake ;muiit not be made again when toe shooting stops here, or very troublesome morale and disciplinary problema will de­velop which will be bitterly ag­gravated by political pressure and demagogery bn 'toe home front. Should Encourage Precise Policy * Congress should encourage the War department soon to lay down a precise and just policy for - toe return or deplo3rment o f the thou­sands upon thousands o f men and women in uniform in tbia theater. That policy should include the reasons behind it and an honest estimate o f bow long it 'will take to effectuate.

Above all, once announced, the entire policy must tirelessly and ceaselesaly be explained and put^ liclzed among the men them'- aelvea, for aelllng it to the men who have already, served and fought long hard yean overaeas Is going to be toe toughest .job of public relations that > tha Army will faoe.

It la not only tn tha War ds- partment and ta Oongreaa when tola problem,-must be faced, but tn the theaters themselves great lesulerahip will Imve to be shown.

Most Exerdae Tact Army commandera ^11 have to

exercise considerable tact, pa­tience and imagination . in han­dling the masses of soldiers who will bavs ceased to be potential combat material and who have aIrMuly, unavoidably, begun to think of themselvea again aa ol- vilians-;-Civlliana anxious to g*t out of unlforth and eager to re­join their wives and children or acquira them—and desperately Im­patient to enter the race which

begun on toe home front for post-war jobs. —

Moreover, ss- toe average G l tends to think of himself as a ci­vilian he’ll begin.to judge bis of­ficera as civilians, too—and no American citizen takes kindly to other men ta position and autoori- ty who above him aroufid unfairly.

For toeae reasons towards toe end o f every war in rear areas increasing antagonism develops between the Gl and ’The Army.” 1 7 1 9 1 natural antagonism of an American who finds himself still in uniform while th j\w ttle rolU

'past and dies down is always vo­calized in toe goieral.-compiittaU that officera are treated belter than they ahould be solely on the grounds of tltair commissioned status.

This situation has been partlcu- lariy true in the past in the Ital­ian theater which has bad a larger rear ariea and a smafier' and leaa active front proportion­ately than any other theater. H tef from a Gl one beam the frequent charge that “ toe rausa bats get. toe best of everything.”

Garden Club members at their April meeting last night at the y . M. C. A., had the privilege of greeting and hearing an old friend, R. M, Crockett of the Garden Cen­ter, West Hartford, and president of the Connecticut Horticultural Society. Mr. Crockett has address­ed the club on different subjects or. previous occasions. He has also conducted excursions to the Bos­ton Flower shows In pre-wai days which a number of local people at­tended. interested in horticulture from boyhood, Mr. Crockett al­ways has a message worth hear­ing, no matter what the subject he chooses. He was presented by Program Chairman Mrs. W. W. Eells;

Subject of Ilia TalkLast night under the topic,

"Planting for Fall Bloom,’’ he cov- ered the subject from trees to an­nuals that bloom in the late sum­mer or fall. He also brought with him packages of mixed hybrid dahlia seeds which were distribu­ted to the members present.

The first tree he recommended for Its beauty was a native of Asia and greatly appreciated by the Chinese. It was Introduced by the late Ernest Wilson, who traveled all over the world In search of rare plants and shrubs. Inciden­tally, It is known widely as the Japanese Pagoda tree and speci­mens may be found at the Arnold Arboretum, Boston, near the lilac section. It begins to bloom about the middle of August with clust.ers o f' yellowish white flowers, and continues through September. It will bloaaom when young but fre­quently reaches a height o f 60 feet.

Other Trees Suggested■Other trees recommended b y

Mr. Crockett for ornamental planting on spacious grounds were the sorrel tree, which is lovely as a background in fall, and pro­duces brilliant^ red seeds. The na­tive ^flowering dogwood with its clusters of red berries, the well- known Mountain Ash; the Vltex or "chaste” tree, a member of the Verbena family and the flower­ing cherries and crabapples.

Shrubs that make a fine show­ing in the late summer or fall in­clude the Althea or Rose o f Shar­on with its krhite, pink and laven­der hloasoms; the buddleia of which there are npw several im­proved varieties. This shrub dies down in the winter but grows four to six feet high in a season.

Chinese Beauty BushThe Callicarpl or Chinese beau­

ty buah, Mr. Crockett said, should be In every garden for its rich, royal purple benles alone. ’The

Cotoneastern, winged euonymus which tUma red in' the autumn and' several of the vines, such as the clematis, were suggested for their fall foliage or berries; stoke sla was worth a trial, Mr. Crock­ett said, for its aster-like, late blue flower.s. The dahlias, zinnias and marigolds are all late bloom­ers; physostegla Is another late bloomer, and salvia will grow in places where other plants fall and makes a brilliant showing against a background of green.

As for the chrysanthemums which usually end the succession o f bloom, the speaker thought most of the garden club members were fairly familiar with the bet­ter varieties,. and ’ the Korean strain. He paid tribute to Alex Cummings of. Bristol for all he had accompliHhed with these fall favorites, and Eugene 'Wander, 80-year-old garden enthusiast wno is still going strong, and who de- velopea the variety by that name. Madam Chang Kai-Shek, "Em­ber,'.* "Little Bob," "Jean Cum­mings” and "Symphony" also were > highly regarded by Mr. Crockett.

Gives Report on FlowersMrs. Philip Cheney gave a re­

port on the Easter flowers sent to the ho.spital at the Bradley Field Air Base. TMe sum of $50 was con­tributed by the local Garden club. Laurel...of Easf, .HarUord, Garden clubs of Hartford and Individuals, and Mrs. Cheney was able to pur­chase with this .36 . lovely plants Which were greatly enjoyed by the patients at the hospital.

Program Chairman Mrs. Eslls announced that the meeUng in Msy would bs in charge of mem-

Several would prepare pa­pers and others were urged to make flower arrangements, dem­onstrating them as they proceed­ed with the -work, for the Interest of ths onlookers.

Dr. Robert B. Mahoney, super­visor of secondary schools of Hart­ford, summed up his speech last night with these words: "The de­mocracy of tomorrow is in the hands of the school children of to­day. If we do our part, intolerance and race deacrimlnation will dis- appekr."

His address waa the third In the annual Y. W. C. A. lecture series being held this year at the Nathan Hate auditorium.

The Springfield Plan Dr. Mahoney’s topic was "In-

tercultural ■ Education in Our Schools." He called special atten­tion to the "Springfield Plan”—a well developed course of action In which the total life of the Massa­chusetts city’s schools ar$ involv­ed in fostering better interracial relations. Through the social stud­ies, assembly programs, well-cho­sen speakers, and community Interest, the cultures and l^etiglons of different races are explained and appreciation of them encour­aged.

Hartford la formulating a pro­gram along the-same like, and Dr. Mahoney expreseed the hope that many other Connecticut tbwns would follow its lead.

Need CnderetandlngBased on the theme, "Liberty

and Justice for All"—this year’s forum has emphasized the need of better understanding among races in our country—and each speaker has reached the same conclusion —adult education In tolerance la the one most essential step to­ward that goal.

Next Monday, Mias Mary Hal- loran of St. Joseph College will discuss "America’s Answer to In­tolerance," and on April 30, Dr. Allen Overstreet of Wesleyan University will talk on "Economic Foundations for World Security."

British Television Ready To Resume A fter the War

New Tork, April 10.—<F)—Brlt-^ Ish television, dormant because at war demand on technicians and equipmsnt. bos decided to resume operation when peace pomes, under standards o f the post war period.

This decision, announced by a BBC committee headed by M. P. A . Honkey after a oonvass of the sltuatlaa, was "to rei^ien the tele­vision service on the basis of the 406-Une system (this country uses 686 Itoas), rather than wait for the development o t a new televirion system os the result of research."

British television -went off ths sir in Septentoer 1939, by which time ttie oommlttee sold It bed "achiev­ed a high degree o f reliability and afforded good entertainment value la the home." A fter the rifer, "It is sKpsetad that with mom .ezpert- once, coupled with certain minor raflnementa which it is now posri- hto to Introduoe. ths system will gtve sUn better resulta.” The com­mittee also sold .It expected better receivera to be available.

A s to future developments, tbs committee concluded that "a good deal o f research and development ..w ill be required before a mark- sdfy Im pror^ service con be putInto operattoq----- and some yeansrauld be kkely to elapse before ,the new service would be avail­able to th f public. To leave a gap of aome years without tele- vtrion service would dampen In- tereet and oiniouriy retard the television Industry in . toe British Irias."

Day dinner broadcast, set for Fri­day night, has been listed by two networks, BLU and MBS, for 9:56 and, by CBS for 9:50. NBC also will transmit, but start at 9:80 to carry also the talks of Vice President Truman and Sec­retary oL the Navy ForrestaL

Manager Jimmy Dykes used tha S6-year-oId third basemen In only 88 games lost season when the Pale Hose finished oeventh. Dykes' Inflgld plans at ths moment ore more Indefinite than a gal buying

Cuccinello, who broke Into toe majors with Cincinnati in 19$0 and performed reliably for tha Reds, the Boston Bravos and ths Brook lyn' Dodgers before he came to the White SoK, hah been the batting star of spring training.

In three gomos against ths De­troit Hgers, Tony .slapped out seven hits, Including a home run and A double, in nine trips. His fielding has b ^ pretty snappy for on oldster and what's more im portent hia hustle since training bogan has been on example for hia neophyte infield mates.

RtSht ndw, flrat baas and third bass are up for grabs as far as Dykes ta ooncemed.

Le Roy Schalk, ta operating at second., bsM, whUe a couple of rooklee. Csss Michaels and Don Reynolds, are battling It out for Aorta top.

Dykes probably wUI get good pitching from BOl Dietrich, Orvol Grbve Hiornton Lee, Joe Haynes and Ed Lopat; his outfield will be fairly solid with Oris Socket. Wal­ly Moses and Guy Curtright around; and the catching Aould stand up with Vince Castino and Mike Trash on hand.

The big question mark obviously is toe infield. I f there ia too much bumping of heads around the bases, look for Mr. Chicclnello to straighten things ou t

The idea at the concert is to raise funds to enable tbe band to completely outfit tbemssiyqs in toe future. The cost o f these uniforms are high, $3,500 must be raised to outfit tbe entire group. The band appeared at the Memorial football game last fall and at all home basketball games last season. Their ablltty Is a known fact, they are good.

We all like to see a splendid organisation such as ths High school band outfitted in school colors at sporting sventa and paradea that will coma after toe war.

Garden Lovers Hear Croekett

Garden Club members at their April meeting last night at the Y. M. C. A., had the privilege of greeting and hearing an old friend, R. M. Crockett of the Garden Cen­ter, West Hartford, and president of the Connecticut HorticiiltiirHl Society, Mr. Crockett has address­ed the club on different subjects or. previous occasions. He has also conducted/excursions to the Boi- ton Flotyier shows In prc-wai days which a number of local people at­tended. Interested In horticulture from boyhood, Mr. Crockett il - ways has a message worth hear­ing, no maUer what t^p. subject he chooses. He was presented by Program Chairman Mrs. W. W. Eclls.' ,J

Dr. Malioney Says Chil­dren Have Fiiture of Nation in Hands.

Nubjeet of Ills TalkLast night under the topic,

"Plaritlng for Fall Bloom," he cov­ered the subject from trees to an­nuals that bloom in the late sum­mer or fall. He also brought ■with him packages of mixed hybrid dahlia seeds which were distribu­ted to the members present.

The first tree he recommended for Its beauty was a native of Asia and greatly appreciated by the Chinese;' It was Introduced by the late Ernest Wilson, who traveled all over the world In search of rare plants and shrubs. Inciden­tally, It la known widely as tbe Japanese Pagoda tree and speci­mens may be found at the Arnold Arboretum, Boston, near the lilac section. It begins to bloom about the middle of August with clusters of yellowish white flowers, and continues through September. It will blossom when young but fre­quently reaches a height of 60 feet.

Olher Trees SuggestedOther trees recommended by

Mr. Crockett for ornamental planting on spacious grounds were the sorrel tree, which Is lovely as a background In fall; and pro­duces brilliant red seeds. The na­tive ^flowering dogwood with its clusters of red berries, the well- known Mountain Aah; the Vltex or "chaste” tree, a membCT of the Verbena family and the flower­ing cherriee and crabapplea.

Shrubs that make a fine ehow- ing in the late summer or fall In­clude the Althea or Rose of Shar­on with its krhite, pink and laven­der bloesoma; the buddleia of which there kre now several im­proved varieties. This shrub dies down In the winter but grows four to six feet high in a season.

Chlneae Beauty BushThe Callicarpi or Chinese beau­

ty bush, Mr. Crockett said, should bo in every garden for its rich, royal purple benies alone. The

Coioneastem, winged euonymus which tum » red in the autumn and several o f the vines,. such as the clematia, were suggested for their fall foliage or berries; stoke- sla was worth a trial, Mr, Crock­ett said, for its aatcr-llke, late blue flowers. The dahlias, zinnias and marigolds are all late bloom­ers; physostegla Is another late blooriier, and salvia will grow in places where other plants fal.l and makes a brilliant showing agaldst a background of green.

As for the chrysanthemums which usually end the succession of bloom, the speaker thought most of the garden club members were fairly familiar with the bet­ter varieties, and the Korean strain. He paid tribute to Alex Cmnmings of. Bristol for a ll . he had accomplished with these fall favorites, and Eugene 'Wander, 80-year-old garden enthusiast wno is Still going strong, and who de- velopeo the variety bv that name. Madam Chang Kai-Shek, "Em­ber," "Little Bob,” "Jeau Cum­mings” and ‘‘Symphony" also were highly regarded by Mr. Crockett.

Gives Report on Flowers Mrs. Philip Cheney gave a re­

port on the Easter flowers sent to the hospital, at the Bradley Field Air Baae. The' sum Of $50 was con­tributed by the local Garden club. Laurel of East Hartford. Garden clubs of Hartford and Individuals, and Mrs. Cheney was able to pur­chase with-..thia Sis'* lovely plants which were greatly enjoyed by the patients at the hospital;

Program Chairman Mrs. Ealla announced that the meeting in May would be In charge pt mem­bers. Several would''"prepare pa­pers and others were urged to make .flower arrangements, dem­onstrating them as they proceed­ed with the work, for the Interest o f the onlookers.

Dr. Robert B. Mahoiieyj super­visor of secondary schools of Hart­ford, summed up his speech last night with these worAs; “The de­mocracy of tomorrow is in the h.snds of the school children of to­day. If we do oirt- part. Intolerance and rare deacrimination will dis­appear.” X —t.

His address waa the third In the annual Y. W. C. A. lecttire series being held this year at the Nathan Hale auditorium. -

The Springfield PlanDr. Mahone.v's topic was "In-

tercult\iral Education In Our Schools.” He called special atten­tion to the "Springfield Plan”—a well developed course^f action in which the total life orthe Massa­chusetts city's schools art involv­ed In fostering better interracial relations. Through the social stud­ies, assembly programs, well-cho­sen speakers, and community Interest, the cultures and religions of different races are explained and appreciation of them encour­aged.

Hartford Is formulating a pro­gram along the same line, and ,Dr. Mahoney expreseed the hope that many other . Connecticut towns would follow its lead.

Need UnderstandingBased on the theme, "Uberty

and Justice for All"—this year's forum has emphasized the need of better understanding among races in our country—and each speaker has reached the same conclusion —adult education in tolerance la the one most essential step to­ward that goal.

Next Monday, Mias Mary Hal- loran of St. Joseph College will discuss "America's Answer to In­tolerance," and on April 30, Dr. Allen Overstreet of Wesleyan University will talk on "Economic Foundations for World Security."

"I ’vs come to the conclusion,’| Wherry added, "that moat o f youi men are academic and don’t kno' what they are talking about.”

Wherry said he knew whei chickens were selling for 75 cefil a pound in Washington and “I ci tell you where I can buy poini for $8 a thousand.”

When Wheel'er argued that OPA had Information on the ex tent of black markets It sbotil< put them out o f business. Erne: ton replied that it would take much larger staff to enforce OP. regulations than it does to find ou' what is going on.

Emerson Said OPA has 8,21 enforcement officers, or an aver­age of only one for every count; In the country. (An appropria­tion for 300 additional officers pending.) X

Wheeler read a letter he sal came from a^ New Jersey cit; sairlng bank clerlu are selling re< points. Most banlu handle ra­tion point linking accouhta foi people in the food trade. The; are supposed to,destroy ratio coupons after crediting them the depositoKa account

Emerson aaid OPA receivi hu(idreda of letters like that bu' moat of the chargea proved t have no foundation in fact.

“ By and large wo feel that thi counterfeit problem is tinder con­trol,” Emerson said. The OPJ staff, he rleated, recently 50,000,000 counterfeit red coupoi In Chicago and "drastic action' has been taken against counteiv felt rings In Boston and Newil York. I

British Television Ready To Resume A fter the War

New York, April 10.—(F)— Brit-ODay dinner broadcast, set for FrtIsh televlalon, dormant because of war demand on technicians and equ^ment, has decided to resume operation when peace oomee, under standards o f the post wsr period.

This decision, announced by a BBC committee headed by M. P.A . Hankey after a canvass o f the situation, was "to reopen the tele­vision zexTlce on the besls of the 405-Une system (thla country uses 625 Uass), rather than wait for the developmeat at a new television system as the result of research.’’

British television went off tbe air in September 1989, by which time

oominlttee aaid it had “achlev- ad a high degree o f reliability and afforded good entertainment value la tha home.” After the sfrur, "it is ei^iected that with more experi­ence, coiiplM with certain minor refinements which it is now possl- hls to introduce, the system will give stiU better residts.” The com-L 7 mlttee also said It expected better 10: rsceivers to be available.

As to future development^, the committee concluded that "S good deel o f research and devdlopment ..w ill be required beforo a mark- ad^ im prov^ aerviod can be put Into operatlOQ....and adme years

, would be WMly/ to elapse before Kthe new aervlM would he avail­

able to the/pubUc. To leave a gl^> of Bpme years without tele- vlalan flemce would dampen In- teresL and serloualy retard the telavuion induatry in the British Islm.’’

Terre Haute, lnd„ April 10.—UP)—Anthony PVancls Cucctoello de­serves a nice, soft easy chair near the bench, tout this willing veteran may be the safety valve of an enigmatic Chicago Whitt Sox in­field.

Manager Jimmy Dykes used the S6-year-old third baseman to only 38 games last season whan the Pale Hose finished seventh. Dykes' Inflfild plana at the moment are more indefinite than a gal buying

bonnet, but old Tony seenw to be jm excellent chap to have around.

Ckicdinello, who broke Into the majors •vlth Cincinnati in 1080 and performed reliably for tha ;Reds, the Boston Braveq and the Brook lyn Dodgere before he came to the White Soa, has been the batting star of spring training.

in three games against the De­troit 'ngera, Tony slapped out seven bits, Including a home run and a double, to nine tripe. Hia fielding has been pretty snappy for an oldrter and what’s more im­portant his hustle since training )>egan has been an example for hie neo]toyte toflekl mates.

Right ndw, first base and third base are up for grabs as far aa Dykes is concerned. Husky BUI Nsgel, purchased from <MUwaukee, is gvtUng a trial at the Initial s a ^ vacated when veteran Hal Ttoaky decided to stick ob a war Job. Nagel is a third baseman by preference, however, but that post Uon currently la being flUed by (JucctoeUo an<^6e Orengo, who was obtained 'from the Detroit Tlgera.

Le Roy Schalk, Is operating at second, base, while a couple of rookies, Oass Michaels, and Dan Reynolds, are battling it out for riiortatop.

Dykes probably wUl get good pitching from BUI IXetrich, Orval Grove, Thornton Lee, Joe Haynes arid EM Lopat; hia outfield will be fairly solid with Oris Hocket, Wal' ly Moses and Guy CMrtright around; and the catching should stand up with Vince Castino and Mike Tresh on hand.

The big question mark obviously is the infield. If there Is too much bumping of heads around the bases, look for Mr. Cucctoello to atrai^ten things ou t

No Letup For Nrison

Mobile, Ala., April 10—<iP) — There’s no let down in pace .for golfer Byron Nelson who won his eighth tournament o f the winter tour at AUanU with an amazing 263 for 72 holes.

The next day he cam* hesqand toured the difficult par 72 Comttry Club course In 69 In an exhibition match he had two birdies and an eagle.

Meanwhile at Gadsden, Sammy Snead, runner-up during the win­ter tour with six tournaments, turned In a 65 on the par 71 course there in another exhibition match.

Tha Hamilton Propa first workout at the Oval day haa many o f ths old’ standbys hack in action including Hawk Pongrata who ooaohad ths team to third plaoe last ysar, Tony Del <3onte. Pinky Tufferaon, Ruck Bos- bert, Mike Marco to name a few. The Props will be plenty strong and the management le confident that this is the year.

The Props have always dleplay- sd g ^ baseball in the eevSral aeasone that they have been to the TwtUght League. The team haa al­ways played good ball tnehidtog leading the leagua until the half­way mark to the season,-then hang, defeata wera suffered and the team waa forced to ait by and watch the playoffa.

Cheney Tech It appeare will, not be represented on tha baeehall front during the coming season due to the feet that there Is only one diamond to town, the West Side Oval and Ihle la used by the High school dally for practice see- stone.

There will be a meeUng o f allItoc-Bowitog League manageta to­night at 7 :A at ^ West Blda Rec to dlseuas final plane for the an­nual league banquet- which Wilt he held Saturday evening at the Gar­den Grave. All managers are urg­ed to report on time.

Harry Kltching of the Local Cheney Technical school has again been secured to show the films at tha next Legion-Herald SporU Night show at the Legion Home on Wednesday evening, April 25. The public is Invited. TOe films will feature Mirior League basetell stars In action and they will be sound films.

The Twilight League opener Is less than a month away. Last year waa the beet to the history of the league. The attendance want up considerably and the seven league teams went all out to provide local fans with the beat to haaeball.

ITie atliilndance was good, yet there are many new familiee to town that may have never heard about the Twi League. Mlealng one game to the league la oomeuilng. There are many local fa n s , that haven’t mlsaed a game to several seaaona. Thla year for you new- comers to Manchester, Just for little entertainment drop over to the West Side Oval any night the league la to operation end guarantee you won’t be dlsap- pointed.

For several aeaoons tha local loop ranked with the better

leagues to the state, today It stands at the top. De^tite the wsr, loss o f key players to ths armed forces and fellows working tha odd shifts In defensa planto, tha league has maintained Its h l^ standard o f play. There lan’t a better league going today which can bs attribut­ed to the fine worit at PresIdeBt Nick Angelo.

These awards were won by mem­bers of the champion Center Bll* Herd team a«d pilao the runnerup Hawyeke team during the recent Rec Junior tournkment.

Jack Stratton Is reported to have signed up eever^ local ball players and Is also reported to *“ seeking a spot to the Twtllg League during the coming season.

Bill Vadera youthful and energe­tic teacher and hand leader at Mancheater High Is looking for- ward to a star studded band con­cert rad ay night at tha High school aaaembly hall at 8 o'clock, put on by the High school band.

Hie idea o f the concert la t raise funds to enable the band t complately outfit thamaalvsa to the future. ITie cost of these uniforms are high, $2,500 must be raised to outfit tike entire group. The band appaared'St the Memorial football game last fall and at all home baaketball games last aeason. Their ability is a known fact, they are good.

We all like to see a splendid organization such as the High school band outfitted to school colors at sporting events and parades that will come after the war. It is not expected that the entire amount desired will be rais­ed thla year but with a conacien tloua leader in Bill Voders this task la not difficult and the oky not too distant.

Richardson has fought here sev­eral times. He climbed off the deck to score an upset decision over highly rated FYankle Wills last August. He snapped BUly Brown’s win streak at aeven bouts, and waa stopped by "Red" Doty after tak ing the bout on short notice aa a substitute a year ago. His most notable achievement was hia win over Herbie Brydon, whose 39 bout win string waa broken by Rudy.

"One has occaaionally to say I those things to someone.” His An­gers gripped my arm. “If 1 should be late getting back from The Ledges, do not come after me. even if I should not return until morning—-or. a t all.”

He spoke these last three words very quietly, but his voice did not waver. Before I could speak, he went on briskly:

Believe me. son, I can handle this. I know a little something about this that you don’t know.”

.’’Everybody does,” I said. I hesi' tated a moment. "Mr. Hudson, do you know who was in the basement at The Ledges?”

He regarded me fixedly."What makes you think

might have to lie about it later. And there's no comfort like know­ing that you don’t have to He.”
