Surprise and fear that Axis prop agandists will use Anthony Edens recent speech to discourage Alban' ian fighters, who are now doans more than their share for common victory of the United Nations. Wat expressed by Mehmet Tosum ol Wolcott, spokesman for more than 200 Albanians in Waterbury today.
 The president of the local Vatra branch referred to Edens state ment which he said, implied that a second dismemberment, worse than that of 19D faced Albania after this war. MT. Tosun cabled Eden expressing painful surprise at the speech.

pacities during his life.
The jurist is not writing his
memoirs or anything autobiography
ical for publication during his life
time, he emphasized, but is inter-
ested in assembling accurate data
for use by historians after his death.
Seated in the Office at his home
at 1928 r street NV, where he
wrote many famous Supreme Court
opinions, Justice Hughes followed
his longstanding custom of declining
to discuss public affairs. He takes
the position that he still is con-
nected with the court, even though
retired. and is not free to talk pub
licly on controversial issues.
The Justice reads about six news
papers daily. In addition, he reads
magazine articles on national and
international affairs and innumer-
able books. Not only does he read
widely in history and biography, but
he has read most Of the recent best
sellers, both fiction and non-fiction.
At 81 he is living his life in =

Chester C. Davis announced
yesterday a program designed

dwindling domestic reserves, and a
five-cent increase in corn prices
in the Midwest to start frozen
stocks of that grain moving to mar
ket again.
