Higher Tax Rate
Seen as Result
Of Pay Raises

Despite an estimated surplus of
Sc. 500 900 for the current fiscal
year and an expected increase in
assessed valuation, an increased
tax rate was predicted today by
Budget Director David V. Addy as
the result of pay increases granted
city empieyeS-by common council,
"The surplus has disappeared
so fast that IL seems hard TO be-
lIeve II was ever there" Addy
said.
"The council approved the re-
tirement OF $4,000, 900 In bonds,
and $2,35T 900 already has been
applied against next years
budget. That left approximately
$2,OOO,OOO to finance the pay In
creases for the balance OF the
year.
MEANS ANOTHER DEFICIT
81 estimate that pay raises
already granted by the council
exceed that figure by 81 100000
and, II the 10 per cent increase
is granted school teachers, IL
will mean another $500, 900

increase granted police and fire.

creasing the total budget to

ting $2,50O,0OO out of the post
war capital Improvement fund.
add to that, however, the
$500, 900 necessary to finance
the Increase for teachers during
1894 and the 81 100000
deficit, and we will be about
$4,000, 900 over the budget fig-
ure of last year"
MIGHT RETRIEVE 2 MILLION
Addy said that $2.000,000 might
be retrieved by cutting the post
war fund to the bone, but that
possibility seems remote. Council
man George Edwards has indi-
Gated that he will fight any at
tempt TO dip into this fund when
the budget comes up before the
council for approval next week.
The council postponed action on
granting the 10 per cent increase
TO teachers when it was brought
out by Corporation Counsel Krause
in a public hearing that such
action would have to originate as
a request from the board of edu-
cation.
The board will meet in special
session Friday noon.

Woodruff Says
~ DAVID CANELON
Detroit TIMES Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON March 4 Co.,
Charges that Russia seeks terri
torial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AZ The
expense Of Poland. and in contra
Veniion of the principles Of The
Atlantic Charter were made on
the floor Of the House yesterday
by Rep. Woodruff RI of Michigan.
Russia has challenged the
Atlantic Charter, which l. sup
posed Ia set the moral pace and
tone during this conflict and
After" Mnodrult said.
CLAIM on POLAND
"On February p. the Soviet
embassy in Washington declared
a most emphatic claim 10 rich
industrial and agricultural areas
OF prewar Poland.
These claims come n a great
shock I'm the face Of the fact
that the first three articles of
the Atlantic Charter upon which
President Roosevelt and Wins
ton Churchill agreed, oStenSibly
for all the Allies, were:
1-"America and Britain seek
no ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, territorial
or other.
WISHES OF PEOPLE
2-"Those two nations desire
10 see no territorial changes
which would not accord with
the freely expressed wishes of
the people concerned.
3-"The two nations respect
the right of all people 10 choose
the form of government under
which they will live; and wish
to see sovereign rights of self
government restored 10 those
who have been forcibly deprived
Of them.
''It In most disquieting In view
Of these declarations by Presi-
dent Roosevelt for the United
States and Winston Churchill for
the British Empire, that the So
Wet embassy should now lay
claim to the territory Of other
nations which have been over
run by the Germans and the
Russians since Hitler marched
into Poland.

Hold Everything!

The song used to go-TomatoeS, are
cheaper, potatoes are cheaper, now's the
time to fall in love. Today's version
might 60 something like this - potatoes
are dearer, tomatoes are dearer, now'S
the time to fall In line. The "hold the
line" slogan Is another reminder that
we can't do as we used to do, or buy as
we used to buy Tie cause Of initiation
brings many prohibitions. It takes a
long time In a country such as ours
where products were always plentiful and
luxuries and daily needs ours for the
asking, to realize that we've got Ito hold
the line" as an anti-inflation measure.
The Presidents latest pronouncement
Is the most all embracing one he has yet
made. The New York Times says edi-
torially: 1.-THE order comes nearer than
any preceding one to placing industrial
prices, farm prices salaries and wages on
the same basis. "In an analysis Of the
latest "hold the line" order the Times
says 1t Is up to us to do as the President
says, that is, tax ourselves more, to
spend less and save more" The editorial
concludes with the words: "The Presi-
dent has made a vigorous and welcome
move. It is now for the Administration
and Congress to follow through"
In short we are again reminded that
the important thing today is to forgo
pleasures and luxuries and to accumulate
with the money that would be SO spent
a wealth Of war bonds which will help
on the road to victory and a lasting fu-
ture peace. Hold the line" is catchy
phrase of the moment and has definite
meaning that it will be a smart thing
for all concerned to "hold everything"

Biennial "Crab"

The Legislature is already girding its
loins for the biennial battle over whether
or not there should be a further and big
ger division Of road aid for the towns Of
the state. The l943 version Is on large
SCALE It calls for practically doubling the
annual Girt road grant In which all 1859
towns Of the state now participate. The
$l7,500, which every city or town now re-
ceives, would be doubled under plans of
the bloc that usually makes the play"
for these funds. It may be described as a
rural bloc for most Of the demands for
further participation in road funds come
from the small town legislators.
Ten or twelve years ago 1t was a mag
niflcent thing that the state had done
granting $3,000,000 to the towns of the
STATE for their use in improving such
roads as would not ordinarily receive any
attention. The larger communities most
ly used the funds for oiling streets in
their outlying districts. Over a period Of
years there was no doubt of the efficacy
OF the dirt road funds. In some instances,
OF course, there was abuse Of these funds.
Now this dirt road fund would be doubled
and every city or town would be given
over $4,000 annually for virtually the
same purposes.
The only catch would seem to lie in the
fact that right now road repairs are at
standstill. Even the large cities can't
get the oil to lay the dust on the streets
and roads that aren't hard-surfaced. Re-
surfacing Of streets is INDUCED in infre-
quently. So 1t would seem as IL this just
wasn't the time to talk about increasing
road grants TO any one or all our Con-
necticut towns. II 1t were possible to OBJ
tain the materials with which to carry
on such projects, 1t would be practically
impossible to secure the manpower need
ed to do a good and thorough job. The
Legislature should take q determined
stand this year on the road grant grab"

General Henri Honore Giraud ought TO
be the convincing answer to those who
confuse theology and patriotism - who
assume that no conservative or reaction
airy can be a good American, a good
Briton, a good Frenchman.
Giraud used to be known as a political
reactionary. But we can remember when
Winston Churchill was tarred with that
same brush, and Henry StimSon. It hap
pens that Giraud and Churchill and Stim-
son, and millions Of other conservatives
and even reactionarieS, love their coun-
tries above all.
It would be pleasant II all liberals and
radicals would be as broad as these right
wingers, and lay aside their ideologieS

Since the heat went on, American ship
yards have done a job for which even
HOLLYWOOD press agents would have
trouble in finding suitable adjectives. In
1912 they accomplished the impossible,
and in 1943 they expecte to more than
double that. President Roosevelt de-
manded 100000 tons of merchant ship
ping last year. Our yards gave him
0,O0O,80O lightweight tons, plus 800
smaller craft and other vessels delivered
10 the armed services. For this year the
goal, originally set at 100000 tons,
has been stepped up to 10, 1000. 900, and the
Maritime Commission says 20.O00.O00
can be produced |: materials an0 supplies
are available. This latter figure alone,
without consideration for what British
Empire yards win turn out, almost equals
the aggregate tonnage available to the
United Nations year ago. Adding the
early 1912 figure to American 1929
output gives somewhat in excess of 50.-
100000 tons Of merchant shipping -
frelghters, tankerS, ore-carriers. etc.

North Africa Is being democrat
ized-wiht reservations, no doubt;
with many unanswered question
and In O spirit the sincerity Of
which can only be tested by time
and events. But the trend Is still
hopeful. Meanwhile, by an irony
which no American will find anus
ing, twelve French sailors are sill
being detained on Ellis Island under
trumped-up charges, their real Of
tense being that they expressed a
preference for democratic govern
ment before General Giraud. They
are the men who deserted from
French ships here to sail under the
Lorraine Cross.
There can be no doubt as to the
deviouSness Of the procedure under
which these men are being held. 1t
Is obvious that the immigration laws
were knowingly used not to prevent
Illegal entry into the United States
but to retain intact the crews OF the
ships of the Dakar squadron. whose
officers had incurred the suspicion
Of their subordinates. The twelve
are retained as a club over the rest,
to put q stop to recruiting by the
Fighting French. either by bargain
or through q threat.
This Is q perversion Of the law,
whatever object in view. 1t certainly
does not contribute toward turning
the Dakar squadron into an ef-
fective fihting force Of the United
Nations, while making a mockery Of
American moral pretensions in the
world struggle. It would. indeed, be
q blow to American pride II. during
