death and the circumstances sur
rounding it.
Worked Yesterday
The deceased reported at the
bank for work yesterday and when
he left in the afternoon was re-
garded as being in congenial
mood. Today when his body was
found in the fumes checked gar
age with the door closed, he was
clad in his pajamas and bathrobe,
indicating that he apparently had
suffered a brooding spell during the
night, and sometime early this
morning reached a decision.
When Mr.. Masters made his
startling discovery. he notified the
police. and the departments am
bulance was rushed to the scene.
Lieutenant William Foley and Ser
geant Charles McWeeney Of the
detective bureau were also dis
patched by Lieutenant Bernard
Burns, desk officer. 1t vas clearly
a case for the medical examiner.
DR.. Harold F. Morrill,, deputy med
1cal examiner, made an official in
quiry, and on his orders the body
was removed to the Anderson Flu
neral home to await completion of
funeral details.
Mr.. Schick had been living alone
for the past few days. Mrs. Schick
being on a visit to their onl son
now in the United States Army.
Friends Of tie deceased recalled
today that while student in Cros-
by High School he was an out
standing athlete and one of the
finest baseball palyers in the his
tory OF Old Ivy. He was recognized
widely as pitcher of exceptional
talent and career in the big
leagues would have loomed If he
had been so inclined. During his
many years Of banking in which he
manifested unusual ability and eff
ficlency, he retained the close
friendships of hundreds of his
former schoolmates and admirers.
Statement b. Bank
Following meeting of the direc-
tors of the bank today, 1t being q
routine monthly session, the follow
ing statement was released for pub
LEGATION:
Water F. Torrance, President of
The Waterbury Trust Company,
stated today that Mr.. Schick has
been Ill for a considerable time, ne
cessitating his absence from the
Bank for varying periods of time,
and that he had been recently con-
fined to his home for two months,
having returned to work only last
week. Notwithstanding those facts,
he said, Mr.. Schicks death came as
distinct shock to him and to the
other officers and employees of the
Bank. Mr.. Schick was one Of the
prominent bankers of Waterbury, he
stated, and he will be greatly missed
by his fellow officers and employees
in the bank and by the multitude
Of business acquatintances he had
made while connected with the
Benk."

New England Medicos
Oppose Medical Bill
Six State Associations Protest Various Features of
SO-CaIIed Social Security Bill; Suggestions Made

The Connecticut State Medical
Society in conference with the
medical societies Of the other New
England States have prepared and
released a statement concerning the
Wagner Social Security Bill which
Is now pending before the Congress
Of the United States. The physicians
Of New England say:
We approve Of the board medical
detectives Of the Act that We inter-
preG to be an attempt to improve
the health of the people. As q basis
Of our approval we cite the progress
sive leadership which the physicians
Of New England have always shown
in the development Of public health
enterprises. For more than fifty
years we have consistently support
ed the plea for the establishment Of
q National Department of Health
with Secretary in the Presidents
Cabinet under whom would be CO.
ordinated many important public
health programs, exclusive Of the
Army and Navy. These are now
scattered through various depart
ments and bureaus of the Federal
government and already play q
Iarge role in the provision of medi-
.al care for the people Of this coun-
Try.
We. approve Of the use Of the in
R1rance principle on voluntary
basis as a means to aid the individ-
nal to budget against the cost of
medical care. We maintain that
when insurance programs are not
directly under the supervision OF
:he medical profession by whom
medical care is to be rendered, they
should provide for cash benefits to
be paid to the individual, for we
firmly believe that the citizens of
New England are capable of using

ton may be only weeks or months
away. Turkish sources suggested
that Turkey was ready to enter the
war anytime that the Allies were
prepared to protect her against a
German attack from Bulgaria, the
Aegean or the Black Sea.
Swedish press reports from Sofa
quoted travellers as saying that Tur-
key has been brought to the 'high-
est state Of military preparedness
with the average Turk convinced
that his country will enter the war
Sealed orders were said to have
been given to Turkish officers to be
opened in the event of certain
eventually" Swedish dispatches
also said Mr.. Roosevelt and Church
ill gave Inonu detailed plan for an
invasion of the Balkans.)
COOrdinated Plans
The possible Anglo American use
of Turkish airfields and supply
routes, as we'll as an Allied thrust
through Turkey into Bulgaria OF
Greece, were believed to have been
discussed at the Cairo conference
and it was assumed that the United
Nations and Turkey now have CO.
ordinated fully plans for any even
tuality, including the opening of the
Dardanelles as supply route fol
Russia.
Some sources expected Turkeys
declaration of war, if and when 1t
comes, would be announced sinful
taneously with military action, thus
presenting the Axis with a fat &C
compli.
Apparently anticipating some
such move, Germany was reported
rushing land and air achievements
into southeastern Bulgaria, especial
ly in the. Eastern Rumelia area fac
ing Turkey, and aiong The Black
Sea coast, according to unofficial
reports reaching Cairo.
Large attachments of elite guard
forces also were reported massing
at Salonika and gradually embark
ing for the Island of Menos, which
commands the Aegean entrance to
the Dardanelles.
The bulk of the German reinforce
ments on the Turkish frontier, most
of which were motorized infantry
were said to be concentrating in
the triangle formed by the Black Sea
port of Burgas, the frontier town
of Rakovski on the main Sofia
Istanbul railroad, and the inland
town Of Plovdiv.
Rush Air Bases
The Germans also were rushing
to completion air bases in an inner
triangle based on Plovdid, Stara
zagora and Mako Tarnovo on the
frontier, 1t was said.
The same informants also said
that German uneasiness over the
attitude of the great mass of Bull
garians has been mounting steadily
since the death of King Boris be-
cause of that country's traditional
sympathy for Russia. An incipient
liberation movement In Bulgaria
was reported to have contacted the
new Partisan government of DR..
Ivan Ribar in Jugoslavia.
In a further effort to disturb the
Balkans, the Allies were believed
circulating through neutral chan
nels the specific terms under which
they will accept Germany's sur
render. The stiffness of these terms
was expected to touch of major re-
percussions among the German sat-
elites. particularly In Hungary,

but suggested that maybe the pres

Short added that "all I want is
to be damned sure that whoever
was responsible for Pearl Harbor-
and I'm not certain that the full
blame lies with Army and Navy
officials, by any means-is brought
to justice"
Shorts original resolution would
have extended the statute of imi-
tations until a date one year after
ratification of peace with Japan.
Because Of the objection of Senator
Bennett Champ Clark, D., MO, the
extension was reduced to six
months from date Of passage, De-

, cash benefits to pay the costs Of
medical care.
We believe that S. 1l61 does not
provide for the sound development
Of National Health Program. 1t is
implied by the Act that the distri-
button Of compulsory savings man.
aged by Federal authorities will
guarantee better health for all the
people. We sincerely doubt that
such an objective Can be realized in
this way. In the New England
States. judged by any standards
with which we are familiar, there Is
no need to revolutionize the habits
Of the people in their methods of
obtaining medical care.
Private enterprises in the field of
voluntary prepaid medical and hos
pital insurance are increasing rap
idly. These facilities should be uti-
lized by the States, if necessary
through Federal grants maid, so
that each State can purchase med
ical care for those who are not able
to purchase 1t for themselves. This
W. believe to be development that
would be acceptable to the New Eng
land people, for thereby medical care
could be provided even for the in
digent who are public charges, O
provision most desirable in those
communities that have been unable
or unwilling to meet this obvious
responsibility.
We shall be glad to work out
plans with representatives OF the
Federal and State governments to
improve the health Of all the people,
but we should expect that any plans
that might be advised would take
full advantage Of existing agencies
and should be developed within the
social patterns that are well under
stood by the people.
