because of strenuous organization work by Q. I. Q. organizers, then Scovill should have received the Navy "E" many, many times during the past few years. The second plant to receive the award <. was the Waterbury Tool Co, under con- tract with A. F. of L. This does not show that c. I. o. gets the Navy "E." The third and last plant 50 for to get tho Navy IF" in Water bury is the American Brass. This plant was c. I. o. when 1t received the award.
 we have examined carefully the Chase CT. o. Union News for sev- eral weeks after Chase was awarded the Navy 'E." It is interesting to note that only once is the fact mem toned in the Chase 0. I. o. Union News that the Chase company and it's employees received the Navy "E." This event should have received large display in any publication that really meant to stimulate the war effort in the Chase plant.

AUDITORS CORRECT
 ERROR ON REPORT
Published Story Cav e Wrong Interpretation of | Recommendation Made

Tn reporting on the l940 audit of the city's books, as submitted this week to Mayor Vincent A. Scully by Barrow, Wade and Guthrie, The Democrat was in error in stating that among the recommendation was one urging that the board of tax commissioners and apportior- ment be charged with the task of making out rate bills instead Of the tax collector.
 The auditors point out that ur1- der the charter the board actually is charged with this duty, but it has been performed by the tax col lector's office and the auditor rec- commended that the practice be continued with the necessary char ter provisions being amended to per- init the same.
 Tn a letter to The Democrat, Barrow, Wade and Guthrie say that:
 "On page 9 of our report we state that Section 1l9 of the City Char ter provides that the Board of Tax Commissioners and ApportionHnent .. shall make out and sign rate bills for the City ; whereas the Tax Collectors office has, for a number of years, prepared the rate books and taxpayers bills simul- .taneously.' We further state that we feel that 1t is entirely practic. able to continue this practice sub. jet to our recommendation re ex- tension of machine procedure add- ing, however, that 1t appears to us that the establishing of a practice st variance with the Charter pro- visions has, to some extent, con- tributed to the unsatisfactory con- dition with respect to tax records.
 "On page 5l, in connecion with our recommendation that a commit tee be appointed re revision of charter provisions pertaining to acc counting matters, we recommend that consideration st1Ild be given to changing Section ll9 with re- spect to the provision that the Board of Tax Commissioners and Apportionment prepare the rate bills .
 From the foregoing, you will ob- serve that we actually recommend that consideration be given to 8 charter amendment to charge the Tax Collectors office with the duty of preparing future rate bills, thus bringing the Charter and present practice into agreement It should be borne in mind, however, that we believe final disposition of this question should be deferred until consideration be given thereto by the committee which we Tecom- mend be appointed"

SIDNEY EDWARDS
 ROTARY SPEAKER
Guest Claims Separation of Agriculture, Indus.
 trial Activity Impossible

Connecticut agriculture and its continued prosperity is so closely interwoVen with industrial activity industrial payrolls and prosperous summer business that it is irnposs- ible to separate one from the other", Sidney A. Edwards, managing dir ector of the State Development Commission told members of the Willimantic Rotary Club Tuesday noon.
 Mir. Edwards stressed the import. arlce of nonresident owned prop erty in over orle-third of Connecti- cuts towns. He stated that if il were not for the tax revenue deriv- ed from nonresident owned prop erty and from property owned by year round residents devoted ex- clusively to summer vacation busi- ness most of these towns would have extreme difficulty in main. taining their present existence.
 This situation. which vitally af- fleets the life and livelihood of over 60 towns in Connecticut, is not only one which concerns the owner oi such property, but it should concern every property owner in the com munity because of the bearing which 1t has on the taxes he pays, MT. Ed wards said.
 MT. Edwards described in detail the broad aspects of the States re- crAo tin,.aj develonYnent t1r0rram to demonstrate specifically what a state agency, such as the Develop ment Commission, can do to stim- ulate and coordinate activity on the part of various groups which stand to benefit through the vacation business. This vacation business contributes at least $75,000,000 to the states income, Mir. Edwards said.

Siegel served with the armed forces.
 'In asking patriotic Americans to Speak Up For Democracy" declared MT. Siegal, i've seek to stamp out the vicious effects of enemy propa- ganda. We can defeat this attack upon the American way of life by emphasizing the truth when we hear gullible persons expressing ideas Identical with Nazi princi- ples.
 we also believe that loyalty to the allies who compose the United Nations means loyalty to every sol- dier, sailor and marine who is fight ing under the American flag" con- tlnued MT. Siegal.
 ''Each of us should question the wisdom and the motives of these who islander our allies or seek to shake our confidence in their zeal to defeat the Axis powers," said MT. Siegal.
 The Speak Up For Democracy" radio campaign was launched one year before the attack upon Pearl Harbor. Since then the number of participating stations has increased steadily. The 470 stations which will broadcast the June program compose the greatest network" in radio industry history for Q month"; ly program.
