terpreted by his son Peter, AZ, and
daughter-in-law, Esther, with whom
he lives, the deaf man expressed his
great happiness and proudly dis
played his letter.
Amerigo wrote that he was very
glad to be in the prisoner camp,
where they treat us swell and give
us good food" The Nazi soldier
added that the zaccarin family in
Germany was doing we'll" when he
last saw them-more than a year
ago.
He is so tickled about the boy"
said Mrs. laccarin, jr., land he'll
rush down to see him as soon as
he gets the money together. Or
will he be permitted to see him?"
she asked anxiously. The reporter
was baf1ed by all the questions: Can
MIR. Zaccarin send Amerigo S.?
Can the boy prisoner write his
father more than the allotted one
letter and one card a month? Can
he be transferred to a prisoner
camp closer to Washington? Can
Ehe live with his father in the
united States after the war?
Called Unusual Case.
The War Department said the
case is most unusual" Said one
officer, Indeed, we've never heard
of anything like this Previous
problems have arisen concerning
italian prisoners with relatives
here, but few with close Nazi rela-
tives.
Mr.. zaccarin is not an American
citizen-he has taken out only his
first papers-but "he love America" I"
his son repeated several times. THE

It was day of wonderment, gasps, and laughs at Brassco park yesterday for 12Oo0 kids" who witt messed the first two performances of the Ringing Brothers and Barnum and Bailey circus.
 The Greatest Show on Earth, " packed full with clowning antics animal acts, aerial performances, and pagantry, kept the audiences, composed of young and old, amazed from start to finish, and delighted with the fairyland novelties that moved before them.
 ''Panto's Paradise" the depletion of the dream of the chief clown, Emmett Kelly, was leading feature of the show, with the cvoStumes, circus stars, animals and fantastic creations of two-headed horses, tiny elephants, drawing wide applause from the adults and children in turn.
 The return of the circus band was widely appreciated with the variety of music, ranging from Ravels "Bo- lero" and serious classical music to hit tunes from Oklahoma" giving satisfaction for all types of fans.
 Performances by the lions and tigers, who responded quickly at sign from their trainer, held the circus goers aghast, and the tom- foolery of the trained seals kept them in constant merriment. The musical notes drawn out by the seals from specially-built trumpet at the flashing of a few fish, was an added feature of this years show, and gave wide delight to the crowds which witnessed it.
 The aerial performers sent the usual shudders through the crowds as they hurled and twisted through the air. The mid-air bicycle riders and accompanying acts, and the Chinese tight-rope walking also brought the perennial applause.
 Despite the drawbacks of dimin- ishing help. the circus gave its usual type of entertainment, and brought added attractions into the per- formance to surprise its regular fans.
 The menagerie, which was miss ing last year, was again displayed, and circus fans spent many minutes parading from wagon to wagon to view the circus zoo.
 The side-show with its famous freaks attracted a large gathering both in the afternoon and even- ing, and created the anticipated hor- TOT.
 Repeat performances were sched- uled for this afternoon and for S:l5 tonight, and by midnight the circus will begin to move out for New Ha- ven. It came direct to Waterbury from Philadelphia.

$3,699,34l IN
 FOR l943 TAXES
About 75% of All Collect. able This Year Is in
 to Date

Approximate estimates reveal about 75 per cent of the city's l943 taxes collectable in 1914 have been received according to city tax coll lector Humbert E. Mangini. AL though final tabulations are not up to date receipts reveal the above estimate may be exceeded soon.
 A total of $3,6s9,34 in cash was received at the local tax office dur ing April and May to which is to be added the heavy mail receipts not yet finally tabulated.
 Cash payments received in May amounted to $2,329,418 made up of general fund receipts of $2,7S4 ,853; water fund receipts of $4l, ,376; sewer fund receipts of $2,954 and sidewalk fund receipts of $233. Receipts for April totaled $s69,e23.
 Comparative figures reveal April receipts in l943 on the city's ls42 taxes far exceeded the same period's $ collection in l944 with the total shown to have been $l,806.578. May collections last year were less than during the same period this year when total receipts equalled $2,5ll,- 633.
 Estimated total revenue for the year has been set at $5 ,2l6, 400 based on 92 per cent of the estimated grand list of $l89.000. However, the grand list since estimated exceeds this original figure thus raising the estimated tax receipts to be antici- pated.

New Deal FIounders M Wake ofArny;s Victories
Series of Serious Blunders in Italy Imperils En- tire Economic Stabilization Plan Overseas- Italians Reported Hungry, Ragged
 and Hopeless" - Communism
F c a r c d |.

Because of a serise of grave ad- ministrative blunders since the occupation of south Italy last fall, the Allies must now deal with a people who are hungry, ragged and hopeless" says Frederick c. Painton in the Readers Digest for July. And he warns that, since Italy has been a testing ground for our ability to resuscitate iber- ated Europe, the misery now pre- vailing in Naples, for example, holds ominous implications for the future.
 Cited as examples of the blum ders of the Allied Military Gov ernment are the failure to provide even a minimum amount of food for civilians, grave mistake in handling the currency of the country, and the freezing of wages at ruinous levels in rela- hon to the cost of living.
 Of the food situation it is noted that Lieutenant Colonel Charles Poletti, former Governor of New York and now the Allied Military Governments regional commits sioner for Naples, realized that two things would happen when we landed in Italy. First, the Germans would as usual seize all visible food supplies and all transport. Second, this would cause a panic that would increase food hoardng The way to prevent this was tc dump basic cereals on the market as soon as possible after we ar- rived.
 Ofiicers of the Allied Military Government therefore urged the High Command to include in the invasion armada at least five ship loads of food to meet the in1me- diate emergency. But. as the article points out. soldiers are concerned with beating the enemy. Shipping was acutely needed to supply our army with bullets and beans and men. There was little shipping available for civilian food.
 Of the currency situation it is stated that, despite some protests of AMG officers, the exchange rate was set at 100 lire to the dollar. The prewar value of the lira was five cents. When we made it worth only one cent, all metal money vanished; everybody became sus- picious of currency, and the farmers refused to sell grain to the AMG. The grain went, in-

14-YEAR-OLD
 SETTLES SUIT
David CantinO of Prospect Reaches Settlement With
 Martha BettS

A l4-year-old boy who was injured on a child's swing while delivering milk to IA Ashley street July 16, 1922, has settled out of court his $l0,000 civil action, 1t was indicated today when withdrawal papers were filed in superior court. The plain- tiff, David Cantino of Prospect, who brought the litigation through his father, Angel Cantino, claimed he lacerated his right forearm when he fell over the swing and the bot tie of milk he was delivering broke.
 The accident occurred at 6 a. m. when the plaintiff was descending down the rear stairway. Negligence was charged against the property owner. Martha Belts of Waterbury for allowing the swing to remain in the allegedly dangerous position Terms of settlement were not dis closed.
 Also withdrawn from the superior court docket today was the $5,00o civil action brought by Carrie M. Scholar of Waterbury against the Connecticut Company of New FIa- ven. The case was reported settled after hearing opened few weeks ago. The plaintiff sued as a result of personal injuries sustained last Dec. 3l when she was struck by a trolley car in West Haven.

STOLFI TRIAL
 PUT OVER WEEK
Witnesses Excused Till
 Next Tuesday Due to Bus Truck Hearing

Witnesses subpoenad to appear in superior court today for the trial of Michael Stolfi, former city select man who is charged with fradulent
 voting, were excused until next Tuesday by Judge Edward J. Quin-
 Ian. It was disclosed last Friday when cases were assigned, that the
 Stolfi hearing would be postponed until after the current jury trial, { based on the Cheshire road bus
 truck collision of last Sept. 13, is
 completed.
 ' It is believed, however. that in
 the event the current trial is. not
 completed by the end ofthisweek, : the Gtolfi hearing may be started Monday by special assignment, or on Tuesday, and then adjourned to await the end of the civil hearing.
 Such. a move would insure disposi- tion of the criminal case during the the current court term, probably in July, without necessity for post ponement to the fall term.

stead, into the black market. The food shortage became acute; prices became fantastic; famine was near at hand, and Naples million people went mad.
 ''In order to get food, little girls in their teens offered themselves as protitutes, and cried bitterly while csnfessing that they did not know their terrible trade and were trying it for the first time. Children pulled at the legs of sol- diers and yelled for food. Thieves offered loot for sale. Many per- sons offered to sell their last treasures to get food for single day"
 Following our entry wages, reg ulated to the lower prices that existed before our arrival. This, plus the decreased purchasing power of the ira, wrecked the middle class overnight. An official of the Italian Agricultural Bureau told me his salary was $500 lire per month. Before our coming this was not bad salary. Now it costs him an entire months sal- ary to feed his family ten days. He makes up the difference out of his savings-and is going broke.
 T saw a clerk in the Bank of Naples burst into tears when he ripped the seat of his trousers. He explained to me that he had sold his extra clothing on the black market to buy food. His salary is 2,500 lire a month. It would cost him four months pay to buy new pair of trousers! Meanwhile what would his chill dren eat?"
 The Germans are, of course. making the most of the situation. Almost every day the German radio has been broadcasting de- scriptions of southern Italy's plight, and warning other parts of occupied Europe that this suffering is to be expected when Anglo come"
 The article notes that AMG of ficers agree that neither they nor the fighting troops can solve the problems; policies to prevent these occurrences in Europe must come from home.
 An AMG officer in the Eco homie Section is quoted as say- ing: "The Allies have made a complete flop here. We said we came as liberators, but failure to meet obvious food shortages is not an act of a Iberator. Here in Italy we have a vicious circle in which nothing much gets done; and Communism rushes in here, as it did in France and North Africa, because it fills vacuum left by our failure. We've got to do better. If we do elsewhere in Europe what we are doing now in Italy. then the peace is lost before the war is won"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-06-20

Based on e program instituted last Fall by the combined efforts of the Omce of Defense Transporta- ton and the Training Division of the War Manpower Commission, the program win train approximately 60 persons, mostly women, already en- gageA in similar work of lower skill in tl1e motor freight transportation fields. MT. Fitzgerald said that this training program, like many others devised to meet specific need, was organized for the purpose of reliev- ing the very critical shortage of trained personnel in this industry. Throughout Connecticut carriers have been seriously handicapped by the loss of men trained in the spe- cialized field of freight classification and ratings. The program given in Hartford last Fall met the needs in that area so well that little or no demand for additional personnel in this field has arisen since then. It is our intention to meet this criti- cal need in Central and Southern Connecticut the same way"
 The training program was drawn up jointly by Dr. Laurence l.. Beth- el. Director of Engineering, Science and Management War Training Program, New Haven Y. M. c. A., Junior College; J. Frank Daly, State Chief of Training of the War Man power Commission and Frank b. Richo, District Manager of the O.. D. T. The program is being given under the sponsorship of the O. D. T. and is being conducted by the engineering, science and manage ment war training division of the WING.
 The State Manpower Director said that applications for admission to the classes may be made through the O. D. T or through any Area Director of the WING. It is expected that an additional program will be organized next month in the Nor- wich area.
 Mir Fitzgerald said that those en- rolled at New Haven, Waterbury and Bridgeport are drawn from the motor freight industry and from trafflc departments of manufactur- CTS in these areas. Mr. Fitzgerald said women have proven very satis- factory in various essential jobs in Connecticut industry and we feel that with proper training afforded them through the WING personnel, they will fill these jobs to the sat- isfaction of the Connecticut Motor Transportation Industry.
