WITHDRAWAL PAPERS
FILED HERE TODAY
Withdrawal papers were filed in
common pleas court today in the
$2,500 civil action brought by Esther
Kravitz of Waterbury against the
City of Waterbury. The suit was
based on injuries allegedly sustain
ed by the plaintiff in a fall January
23, 1944 on a sidewalk on Beucon
street.
Chile has Instructed its govern
ment engineers to start a campaign
against th« edosion of agricultural
land.
Nations going to San Francisco
gathered for a pre-conference meet
ing to draft a statute for a new
world court. Secretary of State Ed
ward R. Stettinius, Jr., welcomed
them at a plenary session at 11 a.
m., EWT.
Also in Washington, the United
States delegation to San Francisco
was scheduled to begin a series of
daily conferences which will con
tinue until the delegates depart for
the West Coast.
In London the delegates of the
United Kingdom, Canada, Australia,
New Zealand, South Africa and In
dia continued their pre-conference
meetings. Like the U. S. delegates
they are trying to reach in advance
informal decisions on some of the
issues that will arise in San Fran
cisco.
In Moscow high diplomats of the
big three are trying to find a way
to solve the Polish problem before
April 25. If Poland is to be repre
sented in San Francisco, a new Po
lish government of unity must be
formed.
There has been no official an
nouncement from the three Polish
committee in Moscow since it start
ed deliberations shortly after the
Crimea conference in search of a
new Polish government. But the
fact that it is deadlocked is well
known and has caused Stettinius
to describe it as disappointing.
The World Court conference here
will be on the technical level. The
representatives will make no final
decisions but will present their work
to the full conference in San Fran
cisco for revision or acceptance.
That conference will decide whether
to use the old World Court statute
with minor revisions, or to draft an
entirely new one.
The first major job of the U. S.
delegation in the meetings starting
today will be to decide whether to
sponsor or reject the eight amend
ments to the Dumbarton Oaks plan
submitted by one of its members—
Sen. “Arthur H. Vandenberg, R.,
Mich.
Stettinius already has prepared
the way for U. S. amendments by
asserting that although the four
powers who drafted the Dumbarton
Oaks plan will support it, they are
in no way bound to oppose amend
ment. But that does not mean the
big four are likely to support dras
tic amendments.
Sen. Tom Connally, D„ Tex., Van
denberg’s senate'colleague on the
delegation, believes that the Van
denberg amendments are implicit
in the Dumbarton Oaks proposals
as now written. But he has no ob
jection to writing them in more
specifically.
Russian publications, however,
have given the impression that the
Soviet Union is opposed to amend
ment. Vandenberg’s proposals as
well as some changes suggested by
former President Herbert Hoover
have been vigorously attacked in
the Soviet press as attempts to
weaken the organization.
Vandenberg’s amendments do not
attempt to change the basic struc
ture of the Dumbarton Oaks plan.
The major ones seek to avoid
freezing the territorial status quo
and to guarantee that the security
council can recommend measures
of adjustment when it 'finds a sit
uation caused by wartime treaties
or agreements which threaten the
peace.

of firearms, military courtesy, as
well as a tour of all penal and cor
rectional institutions in the state.
MARCH OF TIME
TEN YEARS OLD
Future Plans Broad and
Bold; War Gives It
Impetus
It is exactly ten years since the
first issue of The March of Time
appeared on the screens of U. S.
theaters. Today, as over twelve
thousand theaters all over the world
show 8he March of Time, it is in
teresting to recall that the first is
sue was shown in exactly four hun
dred seventeen theaters!
Volume I, Number 1, contained six
subjects:
Bellsha Beacons: British drivers
rage at ne traffic beacons.
Buchsabum: U. S. motorist insists
his French traffic fine be applied
toward U- S. war debt.
Fred Perkins: Battery maker de
fies the N. R. A.
Opera: Metropolitan Opera head,
resigning, reviews his memories.
Speakeasy Street: Famed “21”—a
prohibition raid that failed.
Saioji: The fight for political con
troi m japan.
Note that in its very first issue
MOT drew attention to the impend
ing crisis in Japan.
In Volume II, one subject was de
voted to a rising political figure—
Adolf Hitler. It also included one
of the most outstanding screen
scoops of the day—motion pictures
of Sir Basil Zaharoff, the munitions
king. Thanks to the ingenuity of
MOT Producer Richard de Roche
mont, a cameraman got these pic
tures by disguising himself as a
fruit peddler, concealing his camera
under a bunch of bananas.
De Rochemont got pictures of the
elusive “Papa” Deibler, Prance’s
public executioner, by having a MOT
cameraman hide for days in a res
taurant across the street. With a
telescopic lens he caught Deibler
in his nightshirt!
Followed other notable subjects—
Russia, in Number 4, Ethiopia, in
Number 6, Palestine, Neutrality,
Japan-China, Pacific Islands, Tokyo
League of Nations.
The success of The March of
Time was growing by leaps and
bounds. Then, as today The March
of Time told not only what had
happened and was happening, but
it foreshadowed what was likely to
happen, and pointed out to its pub
lice what to watch for in news
trends.
Striking instances are: "Japan,
Master of the Orient” (the mili
taristic ambitions of Nipponese war
lords ; "Crisis in the Pacific” (how
Japan tried to keep the United
States from fortifying Guam); and,
particularly, "Inside Nazi Germany”
(the Nazis prepare the German na
tion for World War II).
With Volume VII, Number 9,
"The P. B. I. Front,” Twentieth
Century-Pox took over distribution
of The March of Time. Titles like
“One Day of War Russia, 1943,”
•‘Inside Fascist Spain." "Show
Business at War,” "Inside China
Today,” "The Unknown Battle,”
"Report on Italy” told the ex
exhibitor that The March of Time
was proving itself a vigorous edi
torial force and a consistent
money-maker.
War has given March of Time
new impetus. Cameramen, through
out the world in actual battle zones
have maintained March of Time’s
high record. Its editorial policy up
holds its high standards.
March of Time's plans for the
future are broad and bold. They
have just completed a film on Am
erica’s fabulous West Coast, and
one on wartime Britain.
The next MOT will deal with
the returning veteran, one of the
most dramatic films of its kind.

FOR BOND DRIVE
Quota of $5,500,000 Offi*
daily Assigned; Payroll
Division Underway
Approximately 37,000 local in
dustrial and commercial employes
will strive toward a quota of $5,
500,000 in war bonds during the
Seventh War Loan Drive as their
share of the statewide effort by
similiar divisions of the payroll
plan toward a goal of $60 million
in “E” bonds.
The payroll division of the com
ing nationwide campaign opens to
day to permit the extension of
time for this division which nor
mally provides about 60 per cent of
the buyers of the “E” bonds group.
Francis T. Ahearn of the state war
finance committee pointed out to
day that this has been effected be
cause there will be conducted but
two war bond drives this year in
stead of three. Consequently the
E, F, and G quotas are unprece
dently large—$119,000,000 in Con
necticut.
During the Sixth War Loan
campaign of three months dura
tion last year approximately the
same number of local industrial
purchasers bought $3,400,000 in
E" bonds. A total of 1,060 indus
trial and commercial plants in the
state each employing 50 or more
workers are included in the pay
roll division. William V. Hawkes
is chairamn of the Waterbury
group.
When Waterbury’s city wide cam
paign of the Seventh War Loan of

$15,000 in post-war merchandise
will be offered war bond purchas
ers.

persons who have paid the funeral
expenses. Such persons may not
be reimbursed more than the
amount they have paid on the
funeral bill; the amount of pay
ment is also limited to the
amount of the lump-sum pay
ment as calculated from the earn
ings record.
The receipt of a lump-sum pay
ment does not make a widow or
parent Ineligible for monthly
payments at age 65, nor will the
lump sum be deducted from the
later payment. Thus, the widow
under 65 who has no minor chil
dren will receive an immediate
lump-sum payment and will also
get her monthly payments at age
65. The dependent parent who
is under 65 at the time of his son's
(or daughter's) death will receive
the lump sum now and will get
monthly payments at age 65.
Like all other types of pay
ments, the amount of lump sum
depends upon the amount of the
worker’s earnings and the length
of time he has worked. Most of
these payments are now running,
however, between $60 and $250.

NO WIDESPREAD
LABOR CUTBACKS
Concerns Here Not Seri
ously Affected By Can
cellation of Orders
No extensive cutbacks have been
made in area manufacturing con
cerns, it was reported today by Mrs
Mary M. Dewey, area War Man
power director, who stated recent
production decreases ordered for two
firms here were slight and of lit
tle significance on the employment
picture.
Mrs. Dewey stated a drop in small
arms ammunition production at the
Waterbury Mfg. plant of the Chase
Brass & Copper Co., announced last
week by the Springfield ordnance
district, will have no effect on the
labor situation. It was reported
that most of the workers affected
by the small production change at
the Chase company were part-time
employes, who have been offered
other jobs at the firm or who will
be shifted to another concern which
is seeking part-time help.
A drop in production ordered for
the Plume and Atwood Mfg. Co. in
Thomaston will result in a shift
of a number of workers to other
jobs there, but no discharges will
result, the WMC director stated.
Mrs. Dewey disclosed the WMC had
been seeking several new workers
for the Thomaston concern, and
as a result of the ammunitions
production change the necessity for
those extra workers has been abol
ished.
It is believed, however, that the
Chase company, which had been
seeking to establish another plant
in the state, may no longer con
tinue its plans for that expansion.

“I jist read where Hitler had an
emergency meetin’ with his chiefs
an’ cabinet ministers. Th’ pep talk
he gave them must’ve been ’bout as
gay as a Bela Lugosi story shown
in a haunted house. A few years
ago he wuz promisin’ ’em the
world with no strings attached—
now he's offerin’ ’em th’ strings
with no world attached. Well, it’s
certain that Hitler not only bit off
more than he could chew—but he
also had a couple of loose teeth.
He wanted tuh be a second Caesar
—but he’s turned out tuh be a sec
ond-rate one.”
