(Continued from Page D third anniversary of the signing of that pact whose first two points say: First. their Othe signatoriesD countries seek no aggrandizoment, territorial or other; second, they de- sire to see no territorial changes that do not accord with the freely expressed wishes Of the people con- cerned."
 New Developments
 In the face Of those two un- eQuivocally- -worded pledges against wholesale territorial changes come these developments:
 1. Gen. Charles De Gaulle. who already has said that the French army must at least occupy the Rhineland for long time, contends that the United States concern for security in the Pacific is not un- like the French concern for secur- aty in the Rhineland. Other French politicians in Algiers are being more direct. asserting that the French border in the east must be the Rhine.
 g. The Dutch and Belgian gov- ernments in London are consider ing proposals that they too should move their frontiers to the Rhine.
 5. 1t has been generally reco9- nize1 that East Prussia probably would go to Poland after the war. But Ehe Polish Committee Of Na- ti0nal Liberation is also demanding tie great eastern German provinces of Fomerania and Silesia and sug- gesting the Oder and Mess rivers as tlso Polish-German frontier. That would put Berlin about GO miles from the frontier.
 {. The exiled governments Of the Baltic States Estonia, Latyia and Lithuania continue to challenge the Incorporation of those coun- tries into the Soviet Union, ale though it occurred before the Atlantic charter was proclaimed.

 Hull's press conference was de- signed to asquaint newsmen with background material in preparation 10 rthe security talks which begin Monday. Hull reviewed the work Of this government in preparing for an organization to prevent another war, emphasizing thS cris.s which faces civilization @aas.
 Referring to the spirit Of IT'S when men left their homes for eight years to fight for American freedom, Hull said Americans today need to revert to that spirit. which he con tended is somewhat dormant.
 Hull emphasized three great prob- lems that faced the United States in trying to solve the international security problem:
 1. Realization that the fate, wel- fare and true interests Of all free nations-laSke and srnall-are tied together
 2. Importance Of keeping public opinion informed and alert in sup- port Of any practical movement or organization to keep the peace.

Naugatuck, Jan. 17.-William j.
Moody, president of the Naugatuck
Water Co., has announced that al
through precipitation in December
was three inches under normal, Of
ficials of the Water Co. are not
worried over a possible water short
age here next summer.
An official in Bristol recently
predicted a water shortage for that
city next summer unless unusually
heavy precipitation occurs during
the remainder of the winter.
There Is still plenty Of time for
rain to come and February and
March are usually the heavy months
for precipitation" Mr.. Moody ex-
planned. He said that rainfall last
month was only an inch compared
to the normal precipitation of four
and half inches.
And consumption Of water here,
considerably heavier In wartime
because Of added industrial usage,
remains high.
But he emphasized that his firm
would not start to worry unless
February and March rainfall should

COAL SITUATION
REPORTED CRAVE
Survey of Supply on Hand
Alarms Officials; Oil Con-
sumption Heavy

Naugatuck, Jan. II A recent
survey shows that the coal situa-
ton in the borough is very grave"
Stocks are the lowest In q number
of years and II a period of zero
temperatures or a blizzard occurred
here the situation will be be
yond description" an official of one
firm said.
January coal shipments here were
extremely disappointing and there
are many homes here without coal,
the survey showed. Whether or not
all Of these homes have other
forms of fuel Is not known.
The fuel oil situation Is rapidly
approaching a point also where
there will be a shortage, one man
said. 1t Is stressed that utmost con-
servation on the part Of the public
Is necessary both Of the liquid and
solid fuel.
Many persons who burn oil, know
ing the stress laid on the coal
shortage, enormously feel that the
oil situation has eased considerably
and that they can use more oil
than last year. the survey indi-
Gated. This belief is not only incor-
rect. 1t is dangerous.
Many oil consumers have used
more oil than they should have at
this time. No more than half OF the
allotted coupons to a person for
the year should be used by today.
But some have used more and
will be asking for additional allot-
ments from their local ration
board. 1t was predicted. Even If
they get the additional coupons,
there is no assurance that there
will be oil available for the cou-
pons.
Last fall the Oil situation had
eaSed up considerably because few
we're using it but the cold spell
last month caused much oil to be
used with the result that an oil
scarcity again threatens.
Fuel dealers are still hampered
by lack Of manpower. One firm re-
ported some customers were CO.
operating by coming to the supply
source with autos and taking home
small supply OF coal in bags.
The survey indicated definitely
that unless increased fuel conserva-
ton is practiced by the local pub
lie as a whole, there may may be
suffering in number Of borough
homes because Of the lack Of fuel.

time last year TOO gallons worth of

broke the side window of his serv-
zee station, but were unable to get
any coupons because, the proprie-
tor reported, he kept them at his

 Alaskans are making vigorous protest against this stand and are seeking cooperation of cham bers of commerce and others in registering protests against it.
 In l943, under an Act of Con- gress of 1886, the Interior De partment created six Indian re- servations. One of these in- cludes Karluk, on Kodiak Is- land, one of the most famous fishing districts in Alaska; and another, the Chandalar, lying north of Fairbanks, contains ,408, ,OO0 acres for the use of less than 50 Indians. It is reported the Department has additional reservations in contemplation.
 X provision in the Alaska fish, cries regulations, issued by the Bureau of Fish and Wildlife of the Department of Interior, pro- vided that if any natives thought that fishing operations interfered with their aboriginal rights they should file claims with the Secretary of Interior.
 Following thls the Indians in the villages of .Hydaburg, Kla- woe and Rake filed claims. Af- ter the claims were received the Secretary appointed an examiner to hold public hearings in the three Indian villages. A subse- quent hearing was held at Ket- chikan.
