AUTOPSY ON THE
BODY OF LOCAL
MAN WAS ASKED
Funeral Was Ready to Be
Held When Orders Were
Issued
While q large cnngregatioua

While large congregation filled
st Joseph's church for funeral
services and relatives and ifitfn1Ato
friends waited at the home, 10
North Leonard street, for the
funeral to begin, the body Of Frank
Mulesky, SO, who died Monday was
brought to the Waterbury hospital
for an autopsy.
The autopsy was granted at the
request of the family when 1t was
learned last night that Mr. Muleslxy
had been injured in an automobile
accident In WATERFOWL last month.
Examination of the body failed to
establish the accident as definite
cause of death. More than two
hours after the scheduled time, the
funeral was held, with a requiem
high mass at st Joseph's church.
No autopsy had been contenn-
plated until 1t was brought to- the
attention Of Medical Examiner DIR
Edward Kirschbaum that on the
death certificate filed by DR. Frank
J. Hill the cause Of death was Civ
en- as pneumonia, with an automo.
bile accident as a secondary cause.
Since the accident, happening In
Watertown, would be under tho
jurisdiction Of Coroner Lester
Schaeffer of Litchfield county. To-
cal authorities could not order an
autopsy. They granted the request
of the family, however when both
DR. Kirschbaum and Coroner John
T. Monzani were approached.

GERMANY KEEPS
EUROPE NERVOUS
Great Britain Wants to
Know About Increased
Arms Budget

London, April 12.-(UP)-The
government today received a note
from Germany that may prove to
have important bearing on disar-
mament discussions-a reply to a
request for an explanation of Ger
many's increased ornaments bud
get.
Sir John Simon, foreign minister,
said in the house of commons
Monday that the government was
giving very serious consideration"
to the increases this year in Ger
many's estimates for army, navy
and aviation service. He added
that the British ambassador at
Berlin had been instructed to ask
the German government regarding
the increases.
1t was assumed that the reply
would be similar to statements
made at Berlin that the increases
did not mean augmented strength
in the fighting forces, but increased
cost of maintaining present ones.
Great Britain Is most concerned
over Germany's reported ambition
to have 80 to 40 per cent as many
fighting airplanes as all of her
neighbors combined. Now she has
none.
Britain fears a German fighting
airplane fleet, and it Is the possi-
bility that she may rearm which
has caused Britain to consider a
tremendous increase in her OWL
aerial strength.

Strikes Costly At Best

It is customary, these days, to say that we are having an epidemic" of strikes. Historians talk learnedly about how labor troubles always accompany a business re- vival, and economists compute the losses suffered by employers, workers, and the public through such disturbances; but what we all fail to realize is that the whole trouble labor picture is giving us first rate object lesson.
 For a strike when you stop to think about it, is nothing more or less than an outbreak of this "individualism' we have been hearing so much about lately. It stands, that is to say, for the utter lack of any kind of public control over the par ties or the industries involved.
 To be little more accurate, it indicates the complete absence of any kind of plan ming in the particular economy where the strike takes place. It is a sign that the industry is drifting along with the stream; that both sides are thinking of their prob lem in the terms of immediate personal ad- vantage and not in terms of long-run public interest.
 One must hasten to add that it is only natural that they should do so. The in- dustrialist must rivet his attention on his pyofit-and-loss figures; the worker has to think first of all of his pay envelope. To expect them voluntarily to do anything else would be to anticipate the millennium.
 But the point is that the strike, with all the waste that it involves, is simply the price we pay for the rule of individualism in our economic life. One of the things that makes us loath to realize this is the fact that when you start talking about the alternatives to industrial individual ism you begin to get into deep waters, The people of America see no very good reason why they should copy either the Italian or the Russian method of handling such things.
 Costly as trikes may be, most of us would prefer to put up with them rather than to get rid of them via either Con- munism or Fascism. But that needn't prevent us from facing the facts. Nor need it prevent us from continuing our effort to discover whether there isn't some way of so modifying the rule of in- dividualism that it's benefits can be re- tained while it's costly drawbacks can be discarded.
