only about the fact that messages
were smuggled in.
The women said the messages
were purely personal. One message
was discovered wrapped around a
spool of thread under the thread,
MI. Mckee said.
Nazi camp authorities forbade re-
patriates to take any writing with
them, but several concealed notes
from other internees to relatives in
American and addresses on their
persons. Most of these were brought
out of concealment once aboard the
Gripsholm. Several Polish -Ameri-
can internees on board, however,
told other passengers they were still
afraid of secret Gestapo agents
when they landed.
Mr.. Mckee said United States
Commissioner Garret w. Cotter at
New York was acting on the COM
plant lodged with Commissioner
William J. Bartholomew at Newark,
and was issuing fugitive warrants to
be served on the two women at Ellis
Island as a detainer until they are
moved to Newark.
Several other GripSholm passen-

The women, Mrs. Helen Delini-

Mary Delinikajtis, 30. were charged
with violating the Trading With
the Enemy Act.
They were born in PENNSYLVANIA.
They said they had not relinquished
American citizenship although they
had lived since childhood in Poland
where Mrs. Braun was married. Both
reached the exchange ship Grips
holm at Lisbon with the group of
internees from the enemy alien
camp for Americans at Liebenau.
They added that their destination
was Pittsburgh.

DEPLORES SILENCE
ON SOCIAL THREAT
Social Agencies Hear
Frank Discussion of
Social Diseases

Speaking on venereal diseases at
Mondays meeting Of the local Coun-
Gil of Social Agencies at the Elton,
DR.. w. w. Peter, professor of the
Yale School Of Medicine, called for
lifting the conspiracy of silence"
about the diseases. I'VE must know
our enemy and call him by name, I"
he said.
Health Officer DR.. e. j. Godfrey
described the work done by the de-
partment'S venereal disease clinic at
the Waterbury Hospital, and the
city,s program which includes
checking patients and their con-
facts. Roger Sperry, president OF
the council, and w. j. Pape, presi-
dent of the Waterbury Public
Health Council also spoke.
DR.. Peters closed his talk by Of
fering the following points for con-
sideration:
l. Venereal infection depends on
the free will of individuals. Acct
dental infections comprise only
small fraction of the total.
2. Venereal disease information
possessed by an individual is no
guarantee against infection. Sex
ual conduct is determined more by
ethical standards than by any
scientific facts.
3. 1t is the duty of every adult
who suspects he has venereal
disease to seek advice, examination
and treatment by competent per-
sons.
4. It is the responsibility OF
every community to provide facin-
ties for giving advice, examination
and treatment to every person in
fected with veneral disease re-
CARELESS of financial status, social
circumstances, race, religion or
place Of residence.
S. Communities should provide
adequate facilities such as law en-
forcement, social agencies, recre-
alton centers, legislation to strive
effectively for the elimination Of
prostitution, both commercialized
and clandeStine. It must be re-
membered that men and women
who acquire venereal disease are
sick physically. Superimposed on
their infection is the shock and per-
turbation resulting from their
knowledge that they have what
many people consider a nasty"
disease. They are mentally Ill over
1t. They need friendly help.
6. Hard as it may be for some
people to esquire such an attitude,
syphilis and gonorrhea should be
considered essentially as communi-
cable diseases like any other unstig-
matized disease.
Z. It must be recognized that
community leaders are not all
cast in one mold on the subject.
There may be diversity OF opinion
But in the fight against syphilis
and gonorrhea there certainly by
now is enough common ground 50
that all can stand together behind q
general purpose even If a few fee
obliged to reserve Judgment regard
ing some special phase.
To fight syphilis and gonorrhes
effectively all forces of the com.
munity must share together. I
cannot be left to just a few indi.
viduals or a few agencies.

DAMAGING BLAZE
in WARDS FLATS
Several Families Driven
Out; Meriden Road Home
Completely Destroyed

Fires yesterday and Monday dam
aged a Waterbury tenement driving
Is persons to the street, and de-
molished bungalow in Cheshire.
The waterbury fire broke out on
Monday evening in third floor
apartment of Wards Flats" build
ing, a three-story brick tenement
block at 642-50 Bank street when oil
being used to replenish a parlor
stove was spilled and the flames
spread across the room.
Two women occupants OF sec
ond floor apartment became hys-
terical and refused to leave the
building. Police Lieut.. Patrick Ho-
bart carried one woman and led
the other to safety. They received
treatment at st. Mary's hospital.
Firemen, directed by Deputy Chief
Stephen A. Bloomfield confined the
fire to the one apartment, fighting
the flames for two hours with five
pieces of apparatus.
AL the families driven out by the
blaze were able to return yesterday,
except for Mr.. and Mrs. Sidney
Kicks, in whose rooms the fire
started. The blaze was the second
one to strike the tenement in less
than year.
Yesterday fire ana an explosion
following an oil leak from a kitchen
heater demolished a four room
bungalow on tie estate of Mrs
Jennie Todd, on the Meriden road
in Cheshire, occupied by Matthew
Donnelly and his family.
Mr.. Donnelly, who was at home
with his younger son, Robert, 2,
when the fire broke out, notified
the Wolcott fire department. Led
by Chief Edward r. Theriault, the
flremen drew water from Hitchcock
lake in vain effort to say the
home.
Loss of the house and belongings
was estimated at several thousand
dollars.
Mr.. Donnelly and his family
stayed with relatives in Waterbury
last night.
Last year, similar fire destroyed
the interior, roof and two walls of a
cottage 25 yards away from the
Donnelly bungalow

Naval, Marine Training

Hanover, N H., Feb 23-Over 300
Navy and Marine trainees at Dart
mouth College have completed the

Stephano Lane, Robert H. Riefe,
son of Mr.. Hand Mrs. Bruno
H. c. Riefe, of 181 Plank Rd., and
Joseph G. Margolis, son of Mr.. and

FEW FRIENDS
These proposals had few friends
and supporters when they were
proposed in 1919. The Social Action
Department of NCWC behind the
leadership of Mcgr. John A. Ryan
has fought for them courageously
and consistently through the years
as positive doctrine Of Catholic So
cial thought and during the last ten
years one by one they have be-
come the law of the land. Surely
this advance of the past should be
encouraging to those who see the
need and strive to hasten the great
er advancementS that must yet be
made.
NOW is THE TIME
Sometime ago Bishop Francis ].
Haas was asked If 1t wasn't going to
take great deal of education on
both sides to bring white and col
ored races into a truly harmonious
relationship. Here was his reply:
'Of course it is but all too often
that word education is just a
subterfuge behind which hide lot
Of liberals who talk mighty loud
about racial equaity-but secretly,
or subconsciously, hope that it will
not come to pass in their genera
ton.
Actually one of the most impor-
tant parts of the education is ex-
pertinent. You can't learn chemi-
calls merely from textbook; you
have got to go into laboratory,
mix the chemicals and see what
happens.
I'm the racial field, experiment is
even more important. If we can go
into plant and persuade manage
ment to try hiring a few Negroes
we know that the battle there is
practically won. Because in SO cases
out of 100, the experiment works.
The chemicals mix without an ex-
plosion, and the management &C
cepts the formula That's my idea
Of real education

Indian dances In which she is Spe-
cialiSt.
Henceforth the United States
may become "the great synthe-
sizer" in that European and Orien-
tai art win be welcomed and under
stood - but from now on, America
will create a reliable art of her own.
Miss La Meri pointed to the edu-
cational work of the East and West
Association and the New York Mu-
scum Of Natural History as typify-
ing the American approach
streamlined to 1914 and the COM
ing age" There the dancing, lit
erature, drama, music and painting
Of other countries are studied as
part of world cultureh with the
emphasis on encouraging strict
ly homegrown creativeness and
understanding"
The long democratic peace the
U. S. plans to induce as postwar
feature may come partly from two
things, La Meri declared: I'd new
attitude toward the need for a
uraStlc democracy, ana cd a To-
menting of this through the arts
which are international in char
acter-and timelesS.''
ARTISTS, as well as travellers, are
poor haterS," La Meri said.
THE best way to create under
standing between peoples is to use
media, such as dancing, that ex-
presses entirely universal things
like pain, sorrow, Joy, passion =.
the human emotions. To obtain
lasting peace we must inject many
positive things into the global stu
atiodn: Of these, knowledge of q
vital living art can be one.
1.-THE U. S. needs to develop more
confidence in its artists-and they,
in turn, need to reach more people
who want what they have to con-

Lent is an ancient Saxon word
meaning Spring. Our Lent, like
Spring, is period of hope, of look
ing forward for the joy laid up IN
the future.
This years Lenten ashes are
blended with tears, sorrows and be-
|reavements; they are mixed with the
agony of millions ground in the
mills of war. But they are mixed
with hope, too, hope brighter and
more tangible than that of a year
past. We shall never know just
such a Lent again. May we be
faithful to it's spirit, may we draw
down all of its graceS and may we
see clearly to its spirit, may we draw
down all of its graces and may we
Sc clearly and follow faithfully the
obligation that rests on all Of us
to aid in bringing our world just

might be worthy Of His blessing.
THE RADICAL" PROGRAM
When their program of social re-
construction was proposed by the
committee of Catholic bishops back
in 1919 reactionaries called it radi-
cal and liberals saw it as progress
sive. But this month as the docu-
ment observes its twenty-fifth an
niversary the Church views with
satisfaction the fact that ten of it's
eleven proposals have been either
partially or wholly enacted into fed
federal law.
The principal recommendations
of the program were: Cd Minimum
wage legislation; 90 insurance
against unemployment, sickness and
old insurance; 60 a sixteen year
minimum age limit for working
children; 90 the legal enforcement
of the right of labor to organize;
