New Miners Wage Near

Washington, Dec. 10.-UP)-Tha United Mine Workers and Coal Op- orator representatives were reported near agreement today in their ef- forts to draft a new wage agree. ment. 9,
 An operators subcommittee repre- senting all coal fields except those in the southern Appalachian and Alabama areas has conferred with UNIV officials for two weeks at the request of Coal Administra. tor Harold L. Ickes.
 Conferees indicated they hoped for an early agreement although the negotiations stalled earlier this week reportedly because some oper- ators wanted assurance that they would be given further price con- sessions.
 The negotiations have been draft- ing a contract within the frame work of the agreement between Ickes and UNIV President John L. Lewis for the period of government operation. That agreement provid- ed all 824 hour work day, includ- ing travel time, with a daily basic wage of $850.
 StabiliZation Director Fred M. Vinson authorized average coal price increases of IT cents a ton to meet the increased labor costs, but the operators contended those adjusts ments were inadequate.

 The state department of educa- tion for Connecticut have e pro- gram which was the pioneer jn it's field and many of It's attributes have been incorporated into the federal plan. As reported here in The Democrat recently the state department had inspected various offices here in Waterbury subject to tentative plans for setting up their program locally. At present they handle those cases here that are referred to them through the United States Employment Office.
 Plans were likewise voted yester- day for the reorganization of the local salvage committee. No crit- icism of the present committee was made but it was felt by all that too many duties had been piled onto the committee and some re- organization should be made to streamline its duties.
 Mrs. Mark L. SpeTy Jr., of the old clothes committee reported to the Council yesterday that 12,00O pounds of usuable clothes have al- ready been sorted at the Chief Two Moon collection headquarters and carted away to be dry-cleaned. About 4000 pounds more of cloth- ing remains to be handled at the East Main street headquarters. The citys quota was only 12,500.
 James Moran of the war bond drive committee reported that the government has suggested "bock- and-author' drive to supplement- the 4th bond drive which starts in January. Under this pla1-, well known authors would give lectures in the city preliminary to the start of the drive.
 However, the committee decided to give the public a rest" this month, due to the Christmas Ge- mands, and not start the "ncok. and-author Y" program until Jan- uary. The womens division of the war bond committee under Mrs. Robert Harvey will have charge of this drive.
 Judge Patrick Healey, head of the serVlcemen'S committee reported that after giving kits to all the lnducted men on leaving Water bury the committee still has a ball. ance of $1,200.

 REAL PERSON BY DR. HARRY EMERSON FOSDiCk
To Be Real Person, We Must
 Get Ourselves Of Our Hands

A certain Charm" school prom ising to bestow personality" in its clients, prescribes in the first les son that one stand before large mirror and repeat ones own name in voice "soft, gentle and low" in order to impress oneself with oneself. It is the nemesis of psychological counseling that turn ing attention to oneself or to im- prove oneself may only increase obsession with oneself, which is the root of the mischief. Integrated personality is impossible save as the individual finds outside himself valuable interests, in devotion to which he forgets himself. To be whole persons we must get our selves off our hands.
 Egocentricity is the psychological basis for selfish life. Selfish, |" however, is moral word, invented by the Presbyterians about 1640. It carries with it ethical blame, commonly involves condemnation more than description. Egocentri- city, on the other hand, is factual word; it describes an actual state of mind; right or wrong, there the psychological situation is-an acute awareness of self, so exaggerated that the ego is habitually the focus of attention, until objective inter- ests have a hard time claiming notice or care.
 George Eliot describes an old fashioned silver mirror covered with multitudinous minute scratches from generations of polishing, and notes that whenever lighted can dle is brought close to the mirror all the lines arrange themselves in concentric circles around the flame. No matter where the candle is presented to the mirror, the result ant pattern Is the same. So an egocentric person faces the world.
 From one point of view this may be regarded as failure to grow up. An infant is necessarily egocentric He is bundle of his own Sensa- tions, clamoring to be taken care of. To be sure, he has vital social relationship; he belongs to his mother. but all he wants her for is food and protection. He does not care for her nor try to under atanA bar tor jAr sake: he wants

her, and later everyone else within his reach, solely for his own sake.
 Self-centeredness is the inevitable attitude of early childhood.
 This fact concerning our initial start poses difficult problem in becoming a real person. For real person, maturely developed, is not egocentric. He has objective inter- ests; he cares for other people for their sakes; he discovers causes and values for which he lives and might even die; he habitually forgets him. self in creative work; the richest values of his life lie not SO much in what belongs to him as in per- sons and interests to which he be- longs; his enduring satisfactions are found in letting himself go for aims outside himself, and as Jesus said, he finds life by losing it. Thus discovering objective values, inter ests, and aims, he is pulled together into coherence and unity by his outgoing royalties. How, then, does one get from infantile self-centered- ness to this maturity of real per- son
 Many never do. At 50 years of age they still are living on q childish patterns. Moralists cen sure them as selfish but beneath the ethical is 8 psychological prob lem they are specimens of arrested development. Says contemporary novelist about one of her charac- ters: Edith was a little country bounded on the north, south, east, and west by Edith" Calling Edith unethical does not get us far. Edith suffers from a serious psychological affliction.

Discharge Pay Snaqqed

Washington, Dec. II - tU.PD - The congressional drive to pass mastering out pay bill for World War veterans before Christmas struck 8 major snag in the house today.
 It was hoped to deliver a Christ mas present" to the 1000, ,00O serv- icemen discharged since Pearl Har- bor, but Chairman Andrew J. May. D., Ky, of the Military Affairs Committee, said, we've found 8 lot of complications and we don't in- tend to go crazy like the senate did
 Yesterday the Senate Military Affairs Committee recommended passage of a bill providing muster ing out pay ranging from $2O0 to $500.
 The senate bill, revised from a flat $500 proposed by the War De- partment, would pay $500 for IS or more months overseas service; $400 for 12-18 months overseas duty; $500 for less than 12 months over seas or more than 12 months in less than 12 months in the U. s.
 May said, "this is .iCt an emer- gency. Men being mustered out now are disabled and are being cared for i'll our 93 government hospitals, or they are men over 38 who must first prove they have a job to go to If discharged.'
 Legislation we should act on now is to provide benefits for dis abled men," he said
 After closed committee session late yesterday, he announced that the committee would not meet again until Monday.
 "At that time" he said, well try to decide on the amount, and then we will appoint special draft ing committee to prepare the bill. It will take several days to do it. I don't know when we'll have bill ready

Job Placement In
 City Under Control
Machinery Placed in Readiness for Action Monday
 Morning; Final Approval Given By Boston WING

New machinery to control job placement in the Waterbury area will be placed in motion Monday morning when the state hiring con- trols program and the new stabili- ration regulations take effect. Area War Manpower Director Mary M. Dewey announced today that the plan has received the final approval of the regional headquarters in Boston aid that Monday will be the starting point for the new controls.
 Priority lists, classifying all in- dustrial plants according to the urgency of their production, will be the basis of the new placement of workers and all hiring will be directed by the U. s. Employment Service.
 Paul Parsons, former acting WING director in New Britain, has as- stunned managerial duties at the USES and assisted by Miss Edna Harmon, assistant manager, and a Ege staff of workers, will administer the new hiring rules in cooperation with the WING. Eight new addi- tional employees have been secured by the USES to help in conducting the vast amount of new business expected.
 Nearly all job-holders in the area will be affected by the new regula- tions which require presentation of g USES referral card as well as a statement of availability when talk ing new employment. Only a few unessential jobs will be excepted from the new rule.
 Mrs. Dewey said the WING will handle cases of employers who are dissatisfied with the particular course of action they must face. She said the WING wil lnot be an appeal body but will cooperate in handling individual problems that may arise from the new controls program.
 "At-the-gate' hiring will stop to- day and individual plant employ ment offices will lose their former status as hiring units. The A F of L. hiring channels will continue to operate, however. in accordance with a special provision inserted in the stabilization plan.
 Employers will find it safest to send all new employees to the USES before hiring them, the director said because the new lists of controlled jobs include nearly all that are available in Waterbury.
 She also said that if employers cooperate little difficulty is expected to result from the priority system of placement. She sad If all em- ployers at the same time go out to get whatever help they are entitled to the situation might become seri- ous. She pointed out that in Bristol recently to offset such &C., tion hiring holiday was taken by

Weeks after German forces have been pushed northward from the Volturno River, floods in middle Italy have continued to re- sist crossings by American forces and their supply lines. Engineers of the Fifth Army quickly put across pontoon bridges carrying steel tracks for vehicles, but some were carried away when the river rose. At right you see how the huge rubber floats strained at their anchor ropes in the swift water. That's Pvt. Edwin Beidler, of Reading, Pa, acting as watch man and trafflc cop.
