The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-09-06


 Officially, Lehman will prob- ably resign in order to campaign In New York state for President Roosevelt's reelection, But ac- tually, there are personal reasons. He has been very much upset by the death of his son in plane crash in England. Also, he Is still handicapped by the broken leg he suffered when he fell down the marble steps of the British Elm. bassy In Algicrs last winter.
 Iii addition, Lehman has been disappointed over the limited scope given to UNRRA. So far, one important area where relief is badly needed, namely Italy, has been denied to his organization. This Is because Italy Is an eX- enemy country, and 1t was previ- ously agreed by the forty-four nations which established UNRRA that no relief should be distributed to an eX.enemy country without the consent of the forty-fou members of the United Nations Council.
 And on that council are such enemies of Italy as Yugoslavia and Greece. whose territory has been occupied by Italian troops and who do not relish spending any part of their money or even Allied money to aid Italy.
 If and when Lehman steps down, it may not be easy to find 6 successor. Most people don't realize it., but the ex.New York Governor is not the representative of the United States on UNRRA he is the representative of all countries. Actually, assistant secretary of State Dean Ache- son Is the American representa- tive, while Lehman was elected to be impartial. neutral chairman for all the United Nations.

 Hlllman: "That Is correct"
 GathIngs: "YOur attitude tow. ard Mir. Dewey seems to have changed since then."
 Hillman: "Oh no, not at all. ! am ready to support Mir. Dewey again. I would support him with another SS,0O0 for the Job Of District Attorney" CENSORSHIP OF
 ROBOT ORDEAL
 British officials don't air their feudS in public aS officials do in this country, but there has been increasing restleSsness in high British circles over the arrogant, short-Sighted policy of British Inc formation Minister Brondan Bracken.
 On his shoulders rests much of the blame for the unfortunate wane of British prestige in this country in recent months, Es- peciaily. Bracken iS blamed for failure to let the American public know the terrific sacrifice the British people are making during the robot bombing, sacrifice comparable fl not greater than that they experienced in the aw. ful autumn of l040 during the Battle of BFltaIn."
 Since Dunkerque, obviously, the British people have not changed. They have stood Up to punish" ment in 1894 exactly aS in io4o. But thanks to the secretive pol icy of Brendnn Bracken, the American public has no coneep- ton of 1t.
 London today Is in 2 practical state of siege. Millions are homeless. Millions must leave the city. Yet BFacken endeav- ors to keep this . secret even from the rest Of Great Britain When the real story of the robe bOmbardment is told, the world will shudder and sympathlSe as never before with BFitain'S or' deal.
 American newsmen in London have been anxious to write the story, have tried repeatedly to get 1t by the censor. But Min' ton. ,,..
