LOS ANGELES, Jan. 80 Up
Screen Actor Enrol Flynn S
trial on statutory rape charges
entered its third weekend re-
cess today on a note of mystery:
was the inner latch on the blue
bedroom" scratched as though
with a file?
A States rebuttal witness, Po-
lice Chemist Leland Jones, tes-
titled yesterday that only two
days before he found evidence
that screws holding the latch to
the door had been turned and
that there were file-like scratch
marks on the shank of the latch.
The "blue bedroom" is the up
stairs room in a Bel-Air home
where l7-year-old Betty Hansen,
drug store fountain waitress,
charges Flynn violated her after
q dinner party last Sept. q. Bet
ty testified she and Flynn were
in the room, that he walked
toward the door and she heard
a click. Another prosecution
witness told of being unable to
open the door.
A defense witness commended
the latch has been out of order
and it was impossible to lock the
door.
Jones, however, declared that
last Wednesday he not only
found evidence of scraping Of
the latch's mechanism but that
he found a flake of metal on the
floor.
The door and microphoto-
graphs of the lock were intro
duced in evidence.
Deputy District Attor n e y
Thomas w. Cochran said he will
call County Locksmith c. d.
Pope on Monday to testify fur
Their concerning the latch.
Yesterdays court session also
brought testimony by Police
Lieutenant Robert w. Bowling
that he had informed Flynn in
substance: II think you are
guilty as hell, but l don't blame
you for denying it."
Bowling's remarks were in re-
ply to Flynn's earlier testimony

II was up to me, l wouldn't

DETROIT. Jan. 30-(P)-
Veterans of this war are going
to exercise an important influ-
ence on American political and
economic life with the advent of
peace, says Robert T. Merrill of
Havre, Mont. commander in
chief of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars.
Merrill, here today visiting
Detroit VFW districts, said in an
interview that he had gained the
impression from talks with SOL
diers that they would b, eager
to take a place in the nation S
affairs.
The veterans of the First
World War; Merrill said, had
no organization through which
they could express themselves
Immediately after the armistice.
They had no voice in the estab-
lishment of the peace that fol-
lowed.
Now, however, there exist
powerful organizations through
which they can protect their in
terests and those of the nation
after the war. We shall ask that
the veterans organizations be
represented at the peace cor
ference"
Merrill advocated legislation
to continue the pay of men be-
low the rank of captain for six
months after rehabilitation to
tide them over the period of
adaptation to civilian life.

SWIFT FORCE
The Raj chose its fastest light
bomber for today's spectacular
foray. VII &c h penetrated 400
miles of enemy territory. The
sleek, twin motored mosquito
was given its name because of
its slim lines. Its skin is of ply
wood, which eliminates rivet
heads and enhances its speed
reputedly close to 400 miles an
hour.
Although no details of the raid
were announced Immediately. it
was considered possible that the
swift ships had swept across
Germany at tree-top level to
evade and confuse defending
German fighter planes and anti
aircraft defenses. The Berlin
Radio did not leave the air at
any time during the raid
In the great night raids of
Jan. l6 and IL on the German
capital the Raj employed its
biggest four-motored bomb-car-
riers, each capable of freighting

NAPOLEONlC EXAMPLE
Perhaps the Napoleonic OK
ample had something to do with
the urge which drove the Ger
man fuehrer into Russia; per-
haps something impelled him to
try to show he could win where
the other had failed. The parall-
ell promises to run true as far as
the Russian chapter goes. The
wehrmacht knows today what
the road back meant to the
Grand Army.
That 1888 spirit Of victory,
hope, fiery ambition is missing
in Berlin today. Word had gone
forth that there are to be no
flags, no triumphal parades of
brownshirts shouting the Horst
Vessel.
The atmosphere is somber, the
summons is to heroic effort,
blind obedience to avert catas-
trophe. This does not mean that
collapse is at hand; more likely 1t
forebodes a terrible, grim resist
ance that will add new chapters
to the worlds agony before it is
over. But that rasping noise Is
something more than the broad
cast voices of Goebbels and
Goering. 1t is Hitler scraping
the bottom of the barrel to mus
ter the last resources OF a con-
tinent that had he tragic fate
to fall under his mastery.

1929 RETALIATION REPORT AVAILABLE
Assessors Admit Un= usually High Assess
 ments in Survey

If some of the facts and figures in the assessors office were divulged concerning the property valuations prepared by the private appraisers who made a revaluation of the grand list in 1929, Waterburians would be shocked at the results, officials in the local assessors office said today
 They pointed out that while in some cases the valuations are far in excess of what the assessors themselves have established, it has been IA years since that valuation was set. Consequently the lapse of time would automatically demand a complete revision.
 A special aldermanic committee discussed the matter with Mayor John S. Monagan Monday and after that conference Alderman Walker requested that the 1929 project be revealed to the public, since it had cost them $60,000, and might re- veal many interesting things And yesterday the mayor declared the report public property.
 The mayor said he is still waiting to hear from State Tax Comsr. Wal ter Walsh, who he requested to make a special survey of the office for the purpose of recommending improvements. However, Comsr. Walsh is on vacation and further efforts will have to await his ar rival in this city.

Shortage Of Labor
 Confronts Farmers
Present Efforts of Draft Boards Appreciated, But
 Greater Number of Workers Needed for Harvest

Dairy and poultry men are now working to set up conservation pro- grams to meet this situation so that the highly nutritious dairy and poultry products will not be lost to the war effort The feeds industry is cooperating with the governmental agencies.
 "There is no doubt but what the potato plantings in New England have well met the government goals for increased acreage, and all re- ports show that every New England state had increased plantings and that crop conditions are good and will continue so unless there is an extended dry season. The plantings of this crop indicate what incentive prices and floor as well as ceiling prices will do to increase produc- tion.
 Farm finances are undoubtedly in as good condition today in New England as they ever have been, but current payments of mortgages and notes are not quite as healthy a sign as they might seem. Appar- ently the farmers inability to re- tool his farm, repair his buildings and carry on a regular replacement program due to war restrictions is the chief reason for payments on capital loans. Lack of an opportunity to replace machinery, repair build ings and fences will have an un- favorable effect upon food produc- ton here in New England now as well as immediately following the war,

Boston, July 28-(SpeciaD-New England farmers Mo- l problem is and will continue to be the lack of skilled and semi-skilled labor, ac- cording to John E. Rice, chairman of the New England Councils com- mittee on agriculture and forestry, in statement released here today.
 "The situation in Massachusetts
 and Vermont is a little better than in other states" the statement con- tinued. "Deferment of farm help by the Selective Service board, use of high school boys and girls, women, importation of southern help have all been of considerable help in keeping up production on our farms. When the harvest season begins in earnest about September 18th, the farmers will need the help of every person capable of giving a few hours, few days or few weeks of time and energy to harvest this years crop of fruit, potatoes, vege- tables, cranberries and tobacco, so that there will be no wastage. Every pound of food possible should be harvested this year as contribu- ton to the war effort and no amount of food should be consid- cred too small to be worthwhile.
 Tn spite of backward season, crops in general are in good condi- ton and with prospects of good growing weather ahead, large yields are looked for. Although the 1943 apple crop to be harvested is not expected to be as large as 1942, most orcharists reports heavy set, par ticularly of Mcintosh. The vegetable crops throughout the area will not equal 1922 yields, but production nearly equal to 1942 is expected. This is one group that can use to advantage the high school boys and girls that are available. Vegetable growers situated in the canning areas, particularly in southern Maine, have definite labor prob lem, and, the Army has supplied soldiers to help save some of these crops. This is voluntary work on the part of the soldiers.
 ''The 1943 cranberry crop was practically sold before the beds were in bloom. The Cranberry Army Pool demonstrated its ability to cooperate by pledging the government an amount of it's 1943 crop equal to 300, 900 barrels to be dehydrated for the armed forces.
 Wooden agricultural containers continue to be a problem for many farm producers. A program of con- servation has been put into effect with government agencies cooperat- ing. Practically all producers are attempting to set up a stock pile made up of all kinds of packages for the movement of the vegetable and fruit crops. Many fibre board and corrugated box companies have carried out extensive research work and some substitute packages have been developed. The container sit uation will continue to be tight, but with close cooperation of all factors involved, 1t is hoped to package and move the entire l943 crop of fruits and vegetables without wastage.
 With the alarming shortage of high protein feeds at the present time. and no prospects of relief in sight, our poultry and dairy men are facing serious situation particu- larly with these farms stocked up to the limit in attempting to carry out Increased production programs that have been stimulated by the United States Department of Agriculture.

Developments In Southern Europe Prove Triumph Of Allied Strategy
DIRECT ATTACK DECLARES JoHNoN POLITICAL FACTORS SWAYED
By THOMAS M. JOHNSON NEA Military Writer

The knockout of the Mussolini re- gime, the probable fall of Italy, and the consequent hastening of Ger many's defeat all add up to an un- precedented triumph of grand strat- egy over realistic military thinking.
 In planning their operations, United Nations leaders tossed straight military strategy out the window. They substituted an over all scheme based on military factors but greatly influenced by political, economic and moral considerations
 The decision to attack Italy was made by the worlds two foremost politicians and armchair strategists, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill. They made it against some military opinion which favored attacking Europe's tough Atlantic topSide instead of its soft under belly. An attack from above, it was pointed out, would follow the short- est distance to the enemy's heart and solar plexus, which is not Italy, but Germany. Why waste time spar ring with his eXtremities, however flabby? And, they added, even if we conquer all Italy, then we face mountain barriers and are still far ther from Germany than we are right now in our excellent base in Britain, only short distance from home and supplies.
 STRATEGY LOOKS GOOD NOW
 Excellent, sound trategy - as in- deed, all may yet agree, But let us hope not-for the Prime Minister and the President agreed to disagree with those who propounded it, and today they seem to have called the turn. To be sure, while they counted upon various political advantages in crushing Italy, such as the moral effect of defeating the first dictator, they could point to the fact that Hitler's successes were won by at- tacking where his enemies were weak-even though that appeared to be less strategic point-than where he was strong.
 Today their grand strategy is working probably better than the two amateurs hoped. And barring new developments, it seems likely to gain solid advantages in pure by sea, land and.air.
 Italy's surrender would tie up a navy still strong enough to make use keep in the Mediterranean great warship strength that could do pre- cious service in the Atlantic, against submarines, or in guarding an AL lied invasion of North Europe. Or the strength could be used in the Pacific swinging naval superiority decisively against the Japanese. Save for few German submarines, the surrender of Italy would clear the Mediterranean for our supply l

East End Residents De- n0unce Plan to Establish
 Barracks for Workers

The proposal of the Scovill Mfg. Company to remodel the Chief Two Moon property on East Main street into a barracks for 100 war work CTS was strongly protested by 500 residents of the East End at spe- cial meeting in the Anderson school gymnasium called by the East End Community club. Appointment Of a committee to lead the fight against the conversion was given enthusi- aStic approval.

 The following were named to the committee to draft formal reso- lution of protest:
 Benjamin Mover. club president. and Edward Leonard, Paul Kunkel, Joseph Brophy. Warren O'Neill, Ed ward Griffin. Raymond Burke and Frank Crowley.
 Copies of the resolution will be sent to the Scovill Co.,, to U. s. Sen. Francis Maloney, Cong. Jo- seph Talbot and the Waterbury Real Estate association.

great advantages in military strat- egy and perhaps in grand strategy From bases in North Italy our bombers not only could support the Yugoslav patriot forces but could bomb Hungary, Bulgaria and Ruma- mia, including its oilfields. This thunderbolt from the air ana the threat that it would be followed by the lightning of invading Allied ground troops, should shatter the already -tottering morale of the satellite nations, and they probably would stop their war in the Balkans against Russia.
 All this, including the knockout of Italy, would mean for the Nazis the loss of one-third of all the com bat divisions they had fighting for them-a terrific blow. And while they were in all or part of that trou- ble in South Europe, the United Ma tions would have a fine chance to attack them from the north, across the Channel. So grand strategy to- day looks pretty grand.

very supplies and troops across the Adriatic to the Yugoslavs. The AL lies, in return, would be reinforced by the freezing of considerable num- bers of their troops who now are prisoners in Italy.
 GIVES NEW AIR BASES
 The air possibilities opened by Italy's fall would be most spectacu- lar and perhaps most important of all. From Sardinia and Corsica we could bomb southern France, pre- pairing for possible invasion from Africa. From Italy the routes for ground invasion Of France and Yugoslavia are naturally unprom- ising, but air-borrc invasion over the Alps is not imp ;sible, and bomb invasion certainly is not. From northern Italy our experienced air. forces could attacf many factories in South Germany, Austria and Czechoslovakia to escape the bomb- ings from Britain.
 Long-range bombing would have
