New members are signing up with the Waterbury Chapter of Disabled American Veterans with hopes of adding to the pressure, which is to be brought to bear shortly on President Frnaklin D. Roosevelt to modify some of the provisions in his Economy Act The new rating laws, affecting several hundred Waterburians, will become effective July q 1st, 1883. Power Is invested in the president to make any amendment to the act which he deems necessary or advisable. Not only will the names of scores of local veterans be dropped from the payroll of the government within a few weeks, but hundreds of others face re- duction in compensation.
 Word has been received by Com mander James Martone of the To- cal chapter that the president has decided to extend the presumptive clause, which affects hundreds of veterans, from one to two years This is a "break" for many of the cx-service men, who actually suf- fered disa bilities and sickness in the service. It gives them long CT period in which to establish their claim of service-connected injuries.
 If sufficient evidence can be ob- tained and an appeal made to the president, 1t is more than likely that other concessions will be made to certain types of veterans. Congress in a general way Is also showing an inclination to coop crate and to bring about changes that are essential to thes welfare of veterans.

Prague, Czechoslovakia-Follow- ing his release from a German prison in Spandau, Egon Erwin Kisch, internationally known Czech writer, who was a victim of the Nazi roundup of intellectuals in Germany has returned to his home here.
 Kisch denies absolutely the statement of Herr Herman Goer- ing, Prussian police chief and Nazi leader, to the assembled foreign press correspondents in Berlin that the outrages against Jews, socialists and other oppo- nents of the Hitler movement, were sporadic outbursts of isolated bodies of young Nazi enthusiasts, in which, according to Goering, the responsible members of the govern ment had no part. Not being q Ger man and hence having no fear of being barred from Germany. Kisch was one of few refugees who were willing to discuss their experiences.
 "When I was arrested in Ber- lin," says Kisch, "I was taken to police headquarters adn held in a rom to which had been brought 62 prisoners from Nazi barracks. Many of these men told me they had been prisoners in the storm troop barracks for five days where they had been tortured.

MT. Berg has disposed of all his interests in California, and re- turns to Alaska with the intention of making it his permanent home. He states there are numerous Sourdoughs now in California who were 1ured there in the boom days who earnestly desire to return to Alaska and would do so if finan- cially able.
 The intense and prolonged de- presSion in the States and the increasing difhsulty to make a liv- ing confronting the nliddle-age man Outside is causing numerous excellent citizens to long for Alas ka. MT. Berg is an enthusiast for the Northland, and maintains that as a tourist attraction and home center it needs more advertising.
 The Gateway is glad to welcome MT. and Mrs. Berg back to Alaska He is a booster and will be an ac- quisition to the Territory.

 Dr. E. E. Laubaugh, prominent physician of the delightful city of Boise, Idaho, is an interested trav- eler to Alaska. Mrs. Laubaugh, a national vice-president of the Ladies Auxiliary of the American Legion, visited Alaska in 1881, and travelled by airplane to Sitka, Ko- diak and other places.
 Mrs. Laubaugh was so enthusi- actic ebout Alaska that she urged the Doctor to see the great coun- try. Dr. Laubaugh is equally as good an Alaskan booster as Mrs. Laubaugh and he returns to Boise with the determination to visit Alaska again accompanied by Mrs. Laubaugh and their two children when his daughtre completes high school and his son graduates from the University of Washington.
 A few more good boosters like Dr. and Mrs. Laubaugh and Alas ka would receive it's quota of visitors.
