STEEL SALVACINC
 TO BE DISCUSSED
Question of Removing Trolley Rails from Roads
 to Be Discussed

The subject of salvaged steel troll ley rails may be injected into to- nights meeting of the board of pub lie works. The Democrat was in- formed today. Last year considerable agitation was aroused over the sal- vaging of rails in local streets and the city made some effort to comply with reputed demands.
 But apparently the government got more than 1t bargained for when it urged communities in which trolley service had been aban- doned to salvage the rails still im- bedded in their street pavements, for many communities were left with hundreds of tons of steel rails awaiting shipment and purchase by the government.
 It is now proposed to buy up defi- nite quantities of rails from Con- necticut communities. Last week Waterbury's quoto was placed at slightly over HOO tons.
 The question of whether or not the city should make an effort to comply with the request of officials may be thrashed out at tonight's meeting of the works board, which would have jurisdiction over any rail removal projects.

[ tween the cessation of hostilities and the resumption of normal business unless we have agreed on the proper procedure for handling terminated war contracts" says MT. Heimann. Expeditions adjudication or at least large immediate tentative settle mentS will be necessary in order that business may be able to speed the transition period from war produc- tion to the job of supplying our civil needs.
 "The postwar problem can be divided into the short range and the longer range requirements. When Victory Day comes, a solution of the short range problem rests largely in the hands of the government. Every organization in the nation that has the country's welfare at heart should give thought and study now to working out a fair and equitable termination procedure and the gov- ernment of the United States should recognize that this item of provid- ing for prompt settlement with war contractors will play a major part in what our domestic conditions may be when the war has finally ended. :"
 The credit executive pointed out that while there had been consider able uneasiness over the fate of small business" the decline in the number of business organizations in this country since the war started has not been as heavy as it has been in England
 "All in all it can be said that the earlier alarmist point of view with respect to small business has not been borne out by the facts that it is questionable whether it will be. Much credit is due to the resource fulness of many enterprising small business executives who despite the war conditions have found way to survive"

(By the OUT-EASTER)

Two well-known Elks died in Waterbury a snort time ago, Harry R. Walsh, of 168 Columbia Boulevard, and John J. Lawlaus, of 164 West Main Street.
 These men had travelled the central streets for a number of years, and must have been known to many of the people of the city. And in addition to that MT. Walsh had come here in the early days of the Hadley Furniture Con- pany, at the beginning, and had been its guiding spirit for a long time. And plus this, MT. Lawlaus had been an advertising canvas ser for the newspapers naturally had to contact all of the places of business Of the city.
 MT. Walsh was a dapper, active and live wire manager when the Hadley Company made its first entrance into Waterbury. He had to be, for the Hadley Company was new concern, and the people had to be made fully acquainted with it's background, and ability to serve the public to its satis- faction, and wants in the furni- ture line. Harry lost no time in being introduced all around, and it wasn't long before he was recognized as a shrewd and clever business man. He advertised the company throughout the entire Naugatuck Valley, and soon the name Hadley was known in thous- ands of homes within the district for which it was possible for a customer to make purchase and have delivery.
 We do not know and have not known Harry's status with the company of late years; we had no right to know.
 But we do know that much of the success enjoyed by the con- cern of the present was due to his wide awake mind, and aptness for business right at the very outset. He was firm, but just in all dealings and seemed to gain many friends and new patrons in his day at the helm.
 Elkdom attracted him, and he joined Waterbury Lodge; he oc- cupied several positions of import ance, and held down some of the officers chairs during his various years of membership. He liked the Elks, and the Elks liked him. That's the reason the Elks' ritual was read at his memorial service a few days after death.
 John J. LaWlaus was also an Elk, but member of Nauga tuck Lodge. He was a Naugatuck man, you know, before coming here to live some 20 years ago. Jack was a slick fellow in dress; no one looked better. The whole somenesS of his appearance showed itself in conversation, and he made friends by the hundred. He talked smoothly, lightly in tone, confidentially at times, but always with a smile. Advertisers used to like to meet him, even ii they had no business for the time being. He was of big size. round face. grayish or white hair, plenty

1 of my story
 Remember Pearl Harbor." It could have been tactless, for none could mistake that these were Japs. It could have been theatri- cal-a play for the good will of the few Caucasians present who, ex- cept for me, were Army officers.
 It was neither. It was bit pa thetic, perhaps, but 1t was impress sive because the singers were so obviously sincere and the audienc, a moment before raucously demand ing fun, was so obviously affected.
 can't guarantee what is in any mans heart, but for myself, I'm convinced that not one Nisei there was thinking of the apparent in- congruity in a gathering of "Japs" singing a song of vengeance against the Japanese empire. I'm convinc- ed because I believe I know exact- ly what many were thinking, in- stead.
 One of them was remembering his 17-year old sister killed by a Japanese bomb near Pearl Harbor on December ', 1941.
 Several were thinking of the Sum- day gathering, including their rel atives and closest friends that was raked by machine gun fire from raiding Nipponese planes that same day.
 Another must have been recalling his brother, who died in flaming oil when the tanker on which he served was torpedoed by Japanese submarine.
 THEY SEEK REVENGE
 There were plenty more, whose individual stories do not know, who have a personal score of blood to settle with Admiral Tojos peo- pie, and who are spurred by more than abstract American patriotism when they see the outfits pigkin English slogan "Go for Broke" which in crapshooter language means Shoot the Works-every- thing or nothing"
 One Caucasian major remarked: :
 When I get into combat I'd rather have these men behind me than any I've ever seen."

News Of Connecticut

Hartford, Conn.,, Aug. 17 - GU. PD - Failure of federal jury to reach an agreement brought about a mistrial today in the suit of Fly man I. Fischbach, Forest Hills, N. Y, attorney to recover $11,000 he paid Gerge Thornley, Cos Cob, for motorboat last Fall.
 Judge J. Joseph Smith entered the mistrial late last night when the jury, after deliberating more than four hours, reported it was unable to decide the case. Fischbach contended he bought | the 44-foot motorboat, Whimsey II with the stipulation his money would be refunded if the boat was not accepted for Coast Guard serv- ice. He claimed that both he and the boat were rejected last January and that Thornley refused to live up to the contract.
 Counsel for Thornley asserted that Fischbach failed to make a bona fide effort to join the service, and intimated that Fischbach tried to evade the draft.
 Fischbachs attorney, Cyrl Cole man, charged that counsel for Thornley had "skillfully imported extraneous material" into the trial to fortify defense claims.
