Again Urges Russian
Push Through Poland

The controversy between the
Army and Navy Journal and the
Moscow Communist party organ,
Pravda, over Russia's delay in driv-
ing through Poland continued today
as John c. OLaughlin, publisher of
the American service newspaper,
again urged on the Red Army the
thought that "the shortest route to
Berlin is and always has been
through Poland"
In Moscow, the Associated Press
reported, Pravda printed a second
editorial declaring that the Red
Army on the southern Balkan sec
tor of the eastern front, was fight
ing as many German divisions as
were opposing the entire Allied
armies in the west. Pravda charged
the Army and Navy Journal was q
source for pro- o-Hitlerite propa-
ganda."
The Communist publication used
virtually the same phrase last week
when answering an Army and Navy
Journal editorial saying that Great
Britain and Russia seemed to be
more concerned with consolidating
spheres of influence than with "the
prompt defeat of Germany
Mr.. OLaughlin's statement,
couched in restrained language,
said:
I'VE profoundly believe that
Russia holds that her paramount
interest as our own Is to win the
war at the earliest possible moment.
And so believing, we urge that the
blows of the powerful Red armies
be delivered directly and stimuli
taneously toward the German heart
at which our American armies now
are striking"

French-Soviet Pact
PIedging Mutual Aid
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Dec. 13-The new
French Russian alliance pledging
mutual economic and military as
sistance for at least 20 years was
warmly praised today by the British
Press.
Such agreements should produce
others which will bind the founda-
tions of security" the Daily Mail
said.
The text of the treaty, as released
In Paris, had the following points:
/. Each country will continue the
fight against Germany until final
victory is won, giving mutual as
sistance within the means at its dis
posal.
2. Neither will enter into separate
negotiations with Germany nor con-
cludes without mutual agreement any
srmistice or peace treaty either with
the Hitler government or any other
government set up in Germany with
the aim of prolonging German ag-
gresSion
3. Both countries will adopt neces-
sary measures in common accord at
the lend of the war to eliminate any
new threat from Germany
4. In the event either France or
Russia becomes involved in hostili-
ties with Germany in the future the
other party will Immediately bring
all possible aid and assistance.
5. Both countries undertake not to
conclude alliances or enter into
coalitions aimed at the other.
s. Both parties will exchange all
possible economic assistance after
the war to facilitate their recon-
struction and contribute to the pros
perity of the world.
7. The treaty does not affect in
any way any previous engagement
contracted by either of the two par
ties with third nations.
Gen. Charles de Gaulle will sub
nit the pact to the Consultative
Assembly this week for formal rati-
fication. it was announced at Paris

German pressure on the western
front. Mr.. O'Laughlin continued:
This would have meant shorten
ing the war and the saving of pre-
cious American lives, which is the
primary concern Of our military and
the Army and Navy Journal"
The Associated Press said that
Russian newspapers on Saturday
printed figures showing that as OF
December some 220 enemy divi-
sions-200 of them German-were
tied up In the East. OF these, the
Russians said, 10 were on the south
ern sector of the front, presumably
extending FROM Yugoslavia across
Hungary into Eastern Slovakia.
Unoff1cial estimates have placed
the number of German divisions op-
posing the Anglo-Franco- American
armies In the West at 10.

INDIANA COURTS
DECIDING CASES
IN3TO6 MONTHS
By George RYDER

United Press Stan Correspondent
Indianapolis (UPO - In .
streamlined era, with the emphasis
on speed, IndianaS Supreme and
Appellate Courts are rapidly des-
troying the DOGGY Of prolonged legal
litigation.
Records Of the court clerks once
indicate that the average case De"
fore either court Is decided WITHIN
three or four months after initial
fling. Six months IS virtually the
maximum and, in some instances
opinions have been handed down
inside Of two weeks after presen-
tation before the court.
Time was, and not so long ago.
at that, cases were on the docket
for from two to four years. Often
a litigant was extremely fortunate
if a suit were decided within q
year. Now the Supreme Court is
keeping up with its schedule and
the Appellate Court has caught up
with its docket within the past
year.
Judges Favor Setup
An often-made proposal, aimed
ostenSibly at even speedier, and
more economical judicial action,
has been rebuked by justices Of
both courts. The most recent Sug-
gestion Of the idea. - that the
Appellate Court be abolished and
two members be added to the
Supreme Court at a saving OF
approximately $4,000 annually =
was made by Governory Henry F.
Schricker at the last session Of the
General Assembly.
On the basis Of the number Of
cases decided last year, this plan
would entail each judges writing
Of one opinion week. The MEM
bers of the court contend. however,
that oen opinion a week Is too
many to preclude balanced judge
nent. Furthermore, they believe
that establishment Of Seven-man
Supreme Court, which such an act
would do, would provoke less rapid
agreement than can now be reachr
ed on a flve-man bench.
The clerks record shows that the
five supreme court justices have
handed down 122 opinions and the
six appellate judges, 161. This is
an average Of "a opinions for
supreme court justices and 26 for
the appellate judges, despite the
fact that Appellate Judge Edgar
Blessing has been inactive for
several months because of illness.
Average Cost $3.50
The individual records og the
members Of the courts show that,
on the Supreme Court, Justice
Curtis Shake handed down 80 opin-,
ions; Frank Richman, 30; Michael
L. Fansler, 29; H. Nathan Swain,
81, and Mart j. O'Malley, the
freshman Of the court, 10.
The appellate record is: Judge
Wilbur A. Royse, 81; Floyd Draper,
"a; Dan Flanagan, 81; Harry
Crumpacker, %: Paul Dowell, %,
and Edgar Blessing, 3.
The appropriations for both
courts total $l56,0O0, which would
average out that each decision
of the past year cost the taxpayer
approximately $3.50.
THUS, HOLSTERS. within the last
year, have become the benef1ci-
aries. Of swifter court action and,
more Importantly the payers Of
lower litigation expenses.

CITY FOURTH in
PAPER CAMPAIGN

Waterbury ranked fourth in the
state In the total collections Of
waste paper salvage It. was revealed
by the. April report issued by the
Connecticut salvage authorities. A
total collection OF 270,390 pounds
was melted for the city during that
month.
Norwich led the state with a total
collection for February Of 736.098
pounds with Hartford second with
a collection Of 81, 1926 pounds,
Bridgeport third with 339,674.
State salvage authorities and pa
permit owners are more optimistic
of improved paper salvage collec-
tons as the trend Of the past few
weeks reveals an upward rise. Based
solely on reports from local com.
n1itteeS, growth Of public participa-
tion In waste paper collections can
be estimated from the following
figures: November, 1921 tons: De-
aamber, 1893 tons: January, 1855
tons; February. $500 tons.
