Army Continues 10 'CoddIe
Captives, VM Declares

The Veterans of Foreign Wars has
condemned what it calls continued
coddling" of Axis war prisoners in
American prison camps as threat
to Army morale, and Director Omar
B. Ketchum of the Washington Office
said in statement issued yesterday
he was "disgusted" with the policy
of treating prisoners as "distin-
guished guests" rather than as men
who were doing their best to kill
American boys"
Mr.. Ketchum maintained prisoners
should be well fed, we'll housed and
allowed entertainment within camps,
but said a VFW survey disclosed
some prisoners had been granted
leaves for movies and association
with women and canteen privileges
denied to American troops. He said
at one camp German prisoners were
allowed to purchase a carton of
cigarettes, while American soldiers
were held to one or two packages.

FAMILY QUARREL
 ENDS PRACTICALLY
Body of Frank Perazelia Found in Kitchen of
 Home; Rites Saturday

Frank Perazella, 35, 28 Hickory street, the object of two day police search after an alleged assault upon his wife, was found dead in the gas filled kitchen of his home short- ly after 6 o'clock last night. Medical Examiner Dr. Edward H. Kirschbaum said the death was sui eide by inhalation of gas fumes and estimated the man had been dead for 10 hours.
 Police had been looking for Pera- zella's second floor rent after an- they said, he struck his wife Ade- laide, 26, with pipe wrench at the home of her mother, Mrs. Constance Ledakas, 49 Green street.
 The body was discovered in Pera- zella's second floor rent after an other tenant notified police of the odor of gas in the kitchen. Finding both the front door to the fiat and a door to the landing at the rear locked, Motor Patrolman Matthew Guarini smashed the rear door with an ax, and Detective George Flavin entered the room.
 They found Perazella, fully dressed, lying on a couch in the kitchen. Three gas jets on the kit chen stove were open.
 Some of the tenants told the de- tectives they had heard a slight noise about a. m. yesterday, and it is believed that Perazella re-en- tered his home at that time. Mrs. Perazella was reported ir good condition at St. Mary's hos piutal this morning, where she is under treatment for severe scalr lacerations. Police said she and hel husband had been estranged for several days preceding the alleged assault.
 MT. Perazella is survived by his wife; son, Frank, Jr., g; @ daugh- ter, Rose Marie, 4; his mother, Mrs Marie Perazella; four brothers James Joseph and John, all of Wa terbury, and Anthony of Oakville and several nieces and nephews.

WLB DIRECTIVE
 BOOSTS WAGES
200 Employees of Matta. tuck Mig. Company to
 Benefit By Order

A directive handed down by the War Labor Board in Boston yester- day orders the Mattatuck Mfg. Co.,, from four to twenty-eight cents an hour and an increase of two-and- a-half cents an hour as third shift bonus, all of which are retroactive to Jan. 15, 1943. The boosts affect about 200 employees the majority oi whom are women.
 Also granted by the WLB were c. I. O. demands such as maintain ance of membership, the check-off system, the institution of some formula for arbitration, and union proposal for 8 joint-labor- manage ment committee which will under take reconsideration and job eval- uation survey.
 The VILE denied union demands for payment of Christmas bonuses for 1942 and 1943; two weeks vaca- ton for employment of years or more; and establishment of a labor management committee for the training of apprentices, and for the amendment of the seniority clause which involved the transfer of work CTS from one department to another.
 Since both management and labor have until Feb. 9 to appeal all or any portion of the directive, William J. Larkin, attorney for the company stated that no disclosure of the lat ter's plans would be made until closer surveillance of the directive had been made. John J. Driscoll, c. 1. O. executive secretary stated that members of Local 251 would meet this week to discuss the ruling.
 The directive raised the third shift bonus from five to seven-and- a-half cents an hour. The other wage increases were based on the WLB's table of sound and test ed" rates for the Waterbury area. Many jobs in the Mattatuck plant pay above the WLB scales, it was reported.

the side of the Lion of Judah and turned them against the JapS makes even more fascinating read ing.
 Charles J. Rollo, in "Wingate's Raiders" (Viking: $2.50) tell s the story of this beared brigadier and how his bands of British, Aussies, Anzacs and native troops filtered into Burma and harassed a much bewildered enemy. Wingate put his "Chindits'' through six months of the most intense commando-type training. He taught them every trick of jungle fighting, at which the Jap was supposed to be master. They em- erged more than a match for Private Tojo."
 Narrow trails, navigable only by mules and men for much of the distance, made the usual motorized supply lines out of the question Food, ammunition, blankets, fuel for the gasoline motors which gen. erated electricity for the radios all had to be dropped by RAF planes Less than 2 per cent of the bundles that were parachuted down to designated clearings failed to reach the ChinditS.
 Through jungles, across moun- tains and rivers, the small bands crept, blowing up Jap-held railroads and bridges, striking silently at troop concentrations and withdraw ing into the tangle of elephant grass. They in turn were stalked, by the Japs, diesese, starvation and death: But they returned to recross 1 the Chindwin River r. to return again, in a gripping narrative de- void of melodramatics.
 
 RED EPIC
 THAT battle the Reds waged ! around Leningrad to throw the Nazic south and break the hold Germany held on the huge Rus sian city makes very timely "The Siege of Leningrad," by Boris Skomorovsky and E. G. Morris (Dutton: $2.50).
 You can't begin to realize the misery a human can go through and still retain courage until you read of the heroic stand of the Russians against the Huns and Films in the north of Russia. With homes blasted to rubble, food of any kind luxury, and the shells of the enemy's big guns blowing up right in front of their noses, Gi1o x,oo~. ox.d xuNV,aor-oVnd nhiIdPaY1 too-of Leningrad waged one of the greatest stands in history, even greater than Stalingrad. To tell you more of the book would be to spoil it for you. Read it and stop complaining about wars hardships if you have in the past.

A charming and well put-to- gether story, its spirit well-caught by Jane Nelson's many drawings. TALE OF TWO RIVERS
 THE saga of a Mississippi river A boat in the dark days flolow- ing the Civil War, makes a swell novel-''Look Away, Look Away" by Leslie Turner White (Random House: $2.50).
 Plot built around chartering of the boat by band of Southerners who hated the Tanks and the car- petbaggers who hocked into their country to plot and pillage after the war. The cream of the gentry of New Orleans, they arranged with the Brazilian government for tract of land on the Amazon on which they were to set up southern community.
 Dan Beals, pilot of the river boat, and Captain Triggs, swash- h-buckling soldier of fortune who was hired to captain the boat on its hazardous trip across the Gulf and into Brazil, are brilliant characteriza- tions. The hate that Dan and the southern blue b1oods hold for Triggs grows to respect when his knowl- edge of the bush saves their lives time and again during a series of misfortunes they undergo in trying to establish their South American colony.
 Sparkling romance built around Dan and Sina, with whom he was raised by another quaint character, Mrs. Polycarpe. All the color of a movie.

 II cious would enjoy his (Athe- naeus) voluptuous dish of bird brains, eggs, wine and spices, pounded with very fragrant roses and cooked in oil"
 Would you? Doesn't sound very tasty. But it's one of the unusual dishes described in M. F. K. Fish CTS Serve It Forth," (Duel, Sloan & Perce: $2.50). Book is history of food and, in this modern re- print, is an interesting history of the inner man and his changing appetite through the ages.
 If you think mans tastes haven't changed, hearken unto this recipe:
 'To make cock ale Ca 1736 pre- scription) take 10 gallons of ale and a large rooster, the older the better. Parboil the cock, flea him, and stamp him on a stone mortar until his bones are broken. You must craw and gut him when you flea him. Put him into two quarts of sack, and put to 1t three pounds of raisins of the sun stoned, some blades of mace, and few cloves.
 Put all into a canvas bag, and a little while before you find the ale has done working, put the ale and bag together into vessel. In a week or nine days time bottle 1t up, fill the bottles just above the necks, and leave the same to ripen as other ale"
 And then drink itl Whoosh!
