Mr.. Hitler expresses desire to cooperate
for peace and for sincere understanding, and
to forget the past. Some of his neighbors will
not endorse all that he says but most of them
are right with him in forgetting the past, or
at least one part of the past-the war debts
due the United States That is one point on
which there is apparently perfect harmony.

 bergasted when Herman Oli-
 phant, general counsel and
 master mind of the treasury,
 appeared on Capitol Fill with
 little more than an idea which
 had been 0layed by Roosevelt
 and hardly line or two on
 paper.
 General supposition had been that the treasury had carefully worked out tax bill and would never think of merely tossing an idea involving such a problem at the draftsmen.
 The latter say that a year or more should be spent on working out such a complicated problem if all it's possibilities dangerous, un- desirable, and otherwise--are to be weighed.
 Anyway, the tax bill which reached Capitol Hill in the .5ea stage has been having trouble ever since.

 When you're driving your car through the streets, and even when you're walking, you prob ably give very little thought to your personal safety and to the safety of your fellow citizens. However, there's one man in Waterbury who makes the safety of the people of this city his per- sonal concern. He is William Duggan, police captain in charge of the Motor Patrol. His branch of the police department has been organized to regulate traffic so that the danger of accidents in this city may be reduced to Q minimum. He's doing 8 fine job as every one of us knows What his superior officers of his work, we'll learn later in this bi- ography.
 william Joseph was one of ten children born to the late Matthew and Mary Eustace Duggai1 on old Dublin street in Waterbury. Both of his parents are deceased. .. One of his brothers, the late James Duggan was an alderman in the city of Waterbury for many years.
 After completing his early edu- cation in the classrooms of Dub- lin street school, now Hamilton avenue, Bill immediately took up the trade of cigar making. He fol- lowed this trade for almost twen- ty years, the last two years of which were spent in business for himself in a cigar store at the corner of East Main ana Williams street The business world didn't treat him very well and he gave up. his establishment when he saw, after two years that success in that particular field was not destined for him. In the mean time he had taken then examin- ations fo the Waterbury Police Department, and after a short time was appointed a supernum- erary. He was given Q job as a roundsman at the Scovill com. pany during the war AL though he was on the payroll of that company, he was listed as a member of the Waterbury Police Force On May 5th, 1913, he was appointed a regular police man and assigned to his first

They have two charming daugh- ters. Margaret Rita, IS, who is now a freshman at Waterbury | Catholic high, and Anna Marie, 2, in the second grade at Saint Thomas Parochial school.

Northeast Group Requests
Larger Federal Allow
ance for 1887.

A request for a larger Federal al
lowance for the District was incor-
porated in a resolution adopted last
night by the Northeast Citizens AS
sociation meeting at the Ludlow
School.
Reporting for the Laws and Legis-
lative Committee, Evan H. Tucker,
veteran president of the association,
declared members of the committee
were very much shocked" by the
action of the House passing the Dis
trict supply bill with Federal con-
tribution cut to $2,700,000.
The Senate, he said, is likely to be
much fairer, when it considers the
bill, judging from past consideration
by this legislative body. He cites the
inequity of the proposed Federal
share as approved by the House and
said the acquisition of large portions
of valuable land by the Federal Gov
ernment, thus making the property
tax-eXempt, is only one reason why
the Federal Government should in
crease its annual appropriation.
Original Sum Asked.
In the resolution adopted, the origi-

Commissioners is asked for.

X-ray chest tests early this Winter
Is reported in tentative findings an
nounced by Health Officer George C..

Results analyzed so far indicate

said.
Confidential records of the results
Of the X-ray photographs were turned
over to DR.. A. Barkley Coulter, tuber-

associated with the program, for care

known until this process is finished.
Step to Reduce Deaths.
The case finding program, financed
under grant of $4,000 by the Works
Progress Administration. was a first
major step planned to combat Wash
ington's high tuberculosis death rate,
which stands second only to San An
tonic, Tex.
The expected large number of active
and potential cases was one reason
for the request of the Commissioners
that funds be allowed for operation
of the old tuberculosis Hospital, Four
teenth and Upshur streets, through
out the next fiscal year. In action
on the 1887 District estimates, how
ever, the Budget Bureau allowed use
of the hospital only until next Janu-
ary l, and this decision was upheld by
the House when it passed the bill.
disqualification Needed.
The Blanton subcommittee of the
House Appropriations Committee, in
reporting the bill, cited the number
OF beds for tuberculosis patients that
would be available at Glenn Dale, Md.
when the new adult sanatorium and
the addition to the Children's Tuber-
culosis Sanatorium are completed.
Medical leaders, on the other hand
have stressed that hundreds of addi-
tional cases need disqualification, as
indicated by the tentative findings in
