Training Center May

School Authorities Have No Official Knowledge ol
 Plan; Money Reported Available for Machinery

machine equipment for the new center.
 Asked today whether he had heard anything relative to the proposed center, superintendent of schools, Dr. Thomas J. Condon stated that he had not been approached con- corning the matter.
 No connection appeared to exist between the present proposed fed- eral allocation, and the building of a training school in Waterbury &C., cording to the terms of the late David Porter trust fund. For the latter purpose $250, 900 of state funds was voted at the last session of the Connecticut General Assembly, and the use of the money will depend upon an interpretation of the will now pending in Waterbury supe- rior court.
 Dr. Condon indicated that some time ago there had been discussion regarding the construction of a de- fense training center in this center out of a federal allotment for that purpose. While uninformed regard ing the present appropriation, Dr. Condon expressed belief that 1t might be intended for that use. He said that the matter had been disS cussed with the view in mind of constructing a center in the event that the demand for instruction at Leavenworth technical school should exceed its capacity. Leaven- worth high school is the only insti- tuition of its kind in the city cur- rently offering training in machine work.
 Should the appropriation be forthcoming, no plans apparently have been made for the location oi the center.

Then he asked me whether I had
ever worked against the Deutsche
Wehrmacht. l thought I could hon.
estly say had not, since Germany
was technically at peace in the
years in question.
Have you written or expressed
any animosity to the ideals of the
Third Reich?"
I answered that I was an Amer

certain principles that could be
called democratic" that it was
still legal and respectable to be-

I said that it would have been

Junk Dealers Find

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 9.-Charles
F. Keller, Al, and Mack Winters,
10, indianapolis junk dealers,
learned yesterday their discovery of
hidden treasure apparently had
made them $1,000 richer.
Cleaning their garage last Satur-
day, they found an old trunk with
500 gold coins inside dating back
to 1910. They carried the money
around under the seat Of their truck
few days trying to decide what to
do with it.
Finally they took it to George B.
10y, Secret Service agent. A Gov
eminent worker computed face
value of the coins at $4,885, but said
because some were collectors items
the total worth would be more.

And with the same unpleasant
smile he went on, land do you not

espionage?"
Read Notebook Together.
I answered that I realized that I
might be accused of anything but
that I liked to think that where an
American was concerned some proof
would have to be adduced.
Maybe we can find proof he said.
I knew that there was no proof;
I also knew that the Nazis are good
at finding proof where there is none.
I thought my cue was to answer
his questions with candor that 1
hoped was and would pass as such.

the occupied Zone-to see for myself
where might have relied on second
hand information garnered in Vichy,
most of 1t unflattering to the Ger
mans. He said, And what you saw
for yourself was not unflattering?"
Lapsing from complete honesty
I pointed to my notebook-the one
I had faxed. At this point Herr
Doktor Schlunk confessed that he
had been trying to translate it but
couldn't decipher my handwriting.
So We read it together. The Herr
KriegSrat was not displeased by its
contents.
Conduct "Surprisingly Good"
He asked me pointblank what I
thought of the conduct Of the
German army Of occupation. I said
I thought 1t surprisingly good, which
is true, and that the evils were the
evils inherent in occupation itself,
occupation of whatever country by
whatever conqueror.
This, of course, was true, but
contrary to the Goebbels- -Abetz
collaboration" propaganda which
presents the army of occupation as
friends, If not saviours, and future
partners In the new Socialist Europe.
Most German army officers 1 met
seemed not to have heard of this
line and no matter how well-man-
nered. they saw their relations with
the French in the traditional light
OF conqueror to vanquished.
The Herr Kriegsrat than asked
me about my work as correspon-
dent in Europe from 1924 on. When
I came to 1886 I thought to skip
the Spanish War episode. But there
was no use.
And where were you from 1886
on?"
I said in Spain.
"On what side?"
I told him, "On the Republican
side"
You mean on the red side, |
don't you?"
Explains Position.
I said no, that in America most
Of us, in the interests Of accuracy,

Again the Herr Kriegsrat smiled |
and made a little gesture of mock
difference.

you were in Spain /
How he knew it and what he !,

he asked me to explain my posi- |
ton. I said, Your Fuehrer and
II Duce said that the 'plutodemocra-
cies' were the enemy. I believed
them and not their propagandists
in my country who said that both
the Fuehrer and II Duce were really
in saving the Western
World from Communism. Moreover,
your propagandists denied that YOUR

Oliver WisweII Hokum
Charged by Commentator
BY BENJAMIN DECASSERES

CAN any American be de
~ tachedp about anything in
American history?
Can we approach the Revolu-
ton in the same cold-blooded
attitude that we approach the
question of Cleopatra's nose or
the siege of Troy?
A reviewer of Kenneth Rob-
erts' "Oliver Wiswell," story
of the American Revolution,
says we have now become "suf--
ficiently mature to view our
early history with detachment
But Mr.. Roberts doesn't view
the American Revolution with
detachment" He takes the side
of the radicals and smears the
patriots to a fare-you-well under
the thin camouflage of putting
the smear" into the mouth of
his fictitious Oliver Wiswell.
/. for one, am not-and, l
hope, l never will be detached
when it comes to any people
battling for independence and
liberty. I'm onesided about that,
whether it was Athens battling
for its life against Sparta. the
Hollanders trying to free them
selves from the dominion of
Spain or the Americans trying
to throw off the woke of Britain.
THERE is more hokum in
L oliver Wiswell' than in any
historical book of the age.
For instance, Tory judge,
hiding in the swamps of Long
Island, says:
1--WE are the people who have
land, belongings, position. and
we're standing by our guns in
opposition to the people who
have nothing"
At that time the richest man
in America was George Wash
ington-a man who had land.
belongings and position" And
he, like Thomas jefferson and a
score of others who signed the
Declaration of Independence.
took up the cause of the people
who have nothing"
If some one could get Ken
meth Roberts consent to put
into separate book all the
smear" on the men of the
Revolution, we should have an
argument against institutions
and the spirit of democracy that
would sound perfectly legitimate
in the mouths of Hitler and
Mussolini.
HEOR everything you have
missed you have gained
something else, and for every
thing you gain you lose some
thing else" said Ralph Waldo
Emerson in his tremendously
Illuminating essay "Compensa-
ton"
That quotation bobbed up
again for the thousandth time
in my life when I read that
about one-fourth of the young
men called to serve in the army
have to be rejected for physical
reasons, mainly because of bad
teeth and eyesight.
