 Until the country was at war, little more needed to be done but after Pearl Harbor the conferences began. Robert p. Patterson, under secretcr., credits most of the sub sequent planning to Maj. Gen. Allen M. GuiliOn, Provost Marshal Gener- al of the Army. and Brig. Gen. Cor nelius W. Wickersham, who came into the picture when it was de- cided to open a military government school and he was chosen as it's head.
 Assistant Secretary of War John J. McCloy was one of the planners, as was Brig. Gen E. s. Greenbaum, A etbhNA 9eAA o SANLhNAAE BLLAEEI. Anu the practical advice of Harold H. Neff based on his years of personal. experience with foreign people and contributed heavily to the formulation of aims and policies. Neff, an assistant to the under sec- retary, is a former professor of in- ternattonal law at the University of Virginia.
 From the top department staff down to the officer in charge of charitable institutions in an occu- pied town the Army has adopted Hunts recommendation to prepare for military government, and not rely on the hit-or-miss methods that prevailed from 1903 to 1918.

OCCUPATION AND NOT
 DEPENDENCY YARDSTICK
 FOR SELECTIVE SERVICE

WASHINGTON Occupation, not family status. becomes the principal yardstick in determining whether men of Is to 3S will be inducted in- to the. Army under a series of new regulations issued this week by the War Manpower Commission.
 Althouh draft boards are expect ed to continue to give due consider ation to hardships caused by induc- tion of men with dependents after October 1 the main question will be whether they physically fit and can serve their country better in the armed forces than in a war indus try.
 Chairman McNutt of the W M C said the program has three objec- tives: l. To hold essential workers in war-useful jobs; 2. To assure transfer to war jobs of workers not now in such jobs: and g. To aid the war by supplying men needed by the armed forces without cutting war production.
 A list of 149 "critical oceupa- tions," as revised to date, was an- nounced. Persons employed in them win super eligibility for deferment from induction. Draft boards were instructed at the same time to give greater consideration than ever to occupational deferments.

Hunt died in Washington 10 years ago when he was 56. And for 10 years before that. military gov ernment had been no concern sof his. Nevertheless, AMGOT is Hun s brainchild.
 For Hunt was the officer in charge of civil affairs in the Ameri- can zone of the occupied Rhineland, the man responsible - under the commanding general-for the mili- tary government of the area.
 Out of the successful improvisa- tions of that experience came his full analysis of the problem and his urgent recommendation that when, if ever, America again faced similar prospect, the Army get ready with a specially trained group to handle the task. His report was one of the most complete and metic- ulous ever written by an Army of ficer on any operation, and it was documented with specific examples of every kind of problem encoun-I tered and the action taken to meet it.

''Last Train From Berlin,"
 National Best-Seller, Starts
 In The Democrat, Monday

Last Train from Berln", Howard K. Smiths national beSt.Seller which reveals the damage the Rus. sian war has done to the German home front, will be published se- rially beginning Monday in The Waterbury Democrat.
 Within a few days of its appear ance early this fall, this book reached high place on the list of the most widely read nonfiction works in the country. Interest in it came not only from the accuracy and the fullness of the authors first-hand report of conditions in- side the Reich since it attacked the SovietS, but also arose from the fact that the disclosures were most heartening toe veryone eager to see the Axis collapse
 Starting with the outset of Ger many's war with Russia, "Last Train from Berlin" describes every vital change which the stress of the con- flict made in German life and liv- ing conditions up to the historic date of December 7th, 1941, when the author crossed over the front- fer into Switzerland, the last Amer ican news correspondent to leave Germany a free man. His account details the diminishment and the deterioration in the Nazi food sup- ply, the growing scantii1ess of cloth ing and housing, the sagging of mo- rale in the face of extravagant Nazi claims and continued NaI failures

in the field. He cites wealth of instances of the bitterness and the hysterta among the people in shops and factories, as want and dis ,couragement become more and more manifest. He depicts how even renewed persecution of the tired remnants of the Jews in Ger many, a propaganda act which be- fore had always won cheers, back fired upon it's instigators. He ex- plains how, as belief in victory be- comes an ever more distant vision, the Germans still stand by their Nazi leaders only because they real ize only too well what the revenge of the stricken nations of Europe will mean.
 For estimating how long Germany can stand up under the heavy blows that Russia is dealing, "Last Train from Berlin" provides indispensable information. Every days news from the war front tells the story of the strength of German arms. But this is but one aspect of the total strength of the nation. And 1t must be considered in relation to the strength remaining in the body of the nation, from which the force for it's arms must come. That strength "Last Train from Berlin" appraises, in factual and fascinating manner. All who read it in the Waterbury Democrat will find its every chapter of immediate and im- nlense interest.

Though the best laid plans of mice and men supposedly "aft gang aglee," there are several mice in . Stamford filling sta- ton who are doing all right.
 But the station proprietor, who prefers to have his name with h cid, is considerably ';aglee," judging from the let ter received from him by the State OfIlce of Price Adminis- tratiOn yesterday. ,

 Cruelty was the leading charge in the actions heard during the fall term, 57 of the decrees being based on that complaint. Twenty-eight divorces had desertion as a basis, while two were granted for intem- perance, and one for misconduct.
 The average length of marriage in the cases was about 10 years, with the duration varying from eight months to 30 years years. A total of 77 children are affected by the divorces granted. =.
 Under the new domestic relations regulations which took effect sev- eral months ago all cases involving minor children were heard in pri- vate chambers. The move was taken by court authorities who felt the plan would protect children and add to their welfare. A large por- ton of the cases heard in the past four months fell under the new ruling.
