The finding, the first issued by Mir. Cipriano since he assumed the post of Deputy Coroner, holds that Caswell, who said he did not see Elliott until the moment of impact, failed to keep proper lookout for pedestrians.
 The finding further disputes Caswells claim that he was driving at 90 to 35 miles per hour by point ing out that skid marks indicated that the car travelled 76 feet after the brakes were applied.
 Text of the finding follows:
 "On June 8, i944, at about ll:O5 D. m, a dry clear night, Atwood E. CAswell, accompanied by his wife, Coral, as a passenger sitting along side of him, owned and operated a l936 Plymouth sedan in an easterly direction in Middlebury, on the Mid- dlebury- Waterbury road, known as Route GA, intending to drive his wife to work at Scovill Manufacture ing Company and then himself to report for work at il:30 D. m. at the Connecticut Railway and Light ing Company, located at 75l West Main street, in Waterbury, Connec- ticut. When his said car had reached a point approximately in front of the Horseshoe Tavern in said Mid- dlebury, the front of said car came in contact with the deceased, caus- ing his instant death.
 Elliott died on June 8, l94+ from two large scalp wounds, one a skull fracture; compound fracture of the right arm and leg and internal in- juries.
 At the scene of the accident said Route 6A is a concrete highway running in a general east-west di- rection, consisting of two lanes, with a five foot shoulder on the south erIy side. The concrete portion of the highway is 20 feet wide, and the roadway runs in general straight course for a considerable distance in each direction from the scene of the accident. When Caswell's car came to stop, 1t was wholly within the southerly portion of the highway and facing east at a slight angle to- ward the south. The front of said car Igns extensively damaged. A skid mark apparently caused by applica- tiOn of the brakes extended wester- ly from the right rear wheel of said ear for a distance of 76 feet. Said tire mark started about 2ls feet north of the southeriy edge of the concrete highway and continued easterly and swerved sharply to the south onto the shoulder of the high way, terminating on the southerly shoulder of the highway. The body of the deceased was lying 30 feet. 10 inches east of the front of the car on the southerly lane close to the center line of the highway.
 Caswell testified that he was op- erating his said car at a speed or from 30 to 35 miles per hour and that immediately prior to the acci- dent there was no interference with his vision. He further testified that he did not observe the pedes- trian until the instant of collision, at which time he immediately ap- piled the brakes. The brakes of said car, upon examination, were found to be in good mechanical or der,
 The testimony of caswell, with reference to the speed of his car is not supported by the physical fact that 7s foot tire mark on a dry

Wages and dividends both are paid from earnings on investments, so employers Large and smalD must be permitted to earn profits, Nothing makes new jobs but starting new Businesses or enlarging old ones; both re- quire investments.
 Big investors can, at best, pay only a small part of the big post war tax. If it is ever paid, peo- pie of moderate means will sure ly pay most of it, but they are looking to investors for work with which to create prosperity. One fact is clear therefore the lex pert' who advocates taxes on cor porations so drastic that they drive investments away and destroy jobs, that politician is penny wise and pound foolish" Such a pol icy injures workers more than others.

WHAT WAR BONDS MEAN Weapons Make The Nazis Run
By YVES GALLAGHER

LONDON - For lack of guns, planes and tanks Norway, Yugo- elavia, Greece and Crete fell.
 I watched them all crumble like pins in a bowling alley, not because of any lack of courage by their defenders but because they did not have the materials with which to fight.
 Men and women who had sweat ed and slaved for years to accum- ulate savings for old age would have given it all for a gun or even a rifle-bu tit was too late.
 When you try to shrink your way through the bottom of a shell hole as high explosives rain around until your flesh feels like it is crawling away from your bones you get a first hand picture of what the materials of war" mean.
 The difference between a vic torious army and defeated one is that of having an abundance of war materials. The army that can fire two shells where one might do wins the battles. And victorious armies have the low est casualties.
 have seen scores of lives vast ed because there were not enough shells or planes available to knock out enemy defense positions. And I have seen hundreds of lives saved in the plains and mountains of Africa and Italy because the Allies could afford to send out two planes to the enemy's one and fire five shells to the enemy's two.
 Money as expressed in guns, tanks and planes can mean the difference between victory and defeat. It can mean the difference between losing son or loved one in battle and getting him back again.
 To the men at the fighting front money spent in war bonds means a flow of guns and munitions to where they are most needed. Americas fighting men need only

 Victory in war can not be bought with money alone. There is fighting to do which can not be thought about in terms of money. Wars always take a price less toll of life. limb, health, san ity and human happiness. And, along with all this, war calls for a vast amount of work. Actually most of the cost of war is work. l Money is only medium of ex change, relatively accurate measure of the work performed.
 The United States, now in the middle of the biggest struggle of all history, is spending money at the rate of 100 billion dollars year. With the highest tax rates ever applied in this country, our government is raising money at the rate of 40 billion dollars year, borrowing the difference. American taxpayers will be in debt for 60 per cent of the war when it ends, if things go along as they probably will.
 LIFTING THE DEBT
 Big obligations usually are made faster than they are paid, and nobody is expecting Uncle Sam to liQuidate the war debt on armis- tice day. It will be 200 billion dollars Fortunately for everybody this debt can be retired at rate that is slower than fighting speed. Experts in various political camps agree that costs of running our government after the war will ap- proximate 20 billion dollars year. It's safe figure. Now 20 billion dollars is big sum to work off in year, but America can do it. We are rais- ing 40 billion year now with everybody working; surely we can raise 20 billion after the war interest, payments on debt and care of disabled veterans will all be in the 20 billion. We can do it if employment is high, if jobs are still plentiful and well paid. We can do it with present tax rates cut in half, but not unless there is work. s
 Toiiers VIII Pay
 People who work will pay the biggest share of postwar taxes Last var two thirds Of our nation al income was wages and salar- ies. Politicians may try to bleed Wall Street millionaires white, but it will not be enough. If all the people who pay tax on ln- comes of $25,000 or more were seated in one stadium, all our mill lionaires would be there, and more. But the whole assembly could not pay half of 20 billion dollars a year not even with a 100 per cent income tax. There are not enough millionaires.
 These men can't pay the entire expense of government but there is one thing they can do: They can, if permitted, keep factories running and jobs available for the rest of us, who, in the long run, will be obliged to work off that debt and we would better be trying to keep it down. Twenty billion dollars year is twice what government was costing the United States at the peak of the New Deals pre-war spending; five times what it cost in Herbert Hoover's day.
