WITH L. 6. NINTH ARMY
IN GERMANY, May s (UP)
The American Ninth Army
buried its dead along the
Elbe today and left the cele-
bration of victory day in
Europe to the folks back
home.
Just for the record, an
American soldier was killed
by a stray shell fired from
the east side of the Elbe

Russians were battling Mon

the unconditional surrender

/ Even as this dispatch is

for the Ninth Army. The
grim business Of disarming
Germans and evacuating
liberated Allied prisoners
and burying American dead
lis still going on.
THERE WILL BE OTHERS

action to Germany'S surrender?

The official announcement of
Germany'S captulation went over
with a lull here. inasmuch As the
GIS have seen the war grinding
TO a close day after day for the
last three weeks.
The American halt al the Elbe
the meeting with the Russians
the fall OF Berlin. and the deaths
Of MuSSolini and. by German ac.

the way.
The dead GI who fell yesterday
showed them that the German

 But it was unable to fly on schedule because there was no kero- sene. The Shooting Star will burn almost any kind of liquid fuel, but kerosene is the most efficient. AL justments are required before fuel can be changed.
 The national airport has plenty ot high octane gas and plenty of jeep fuel but kerosene, no. Hur- ried queries to Boiling Field and ether installations failed to produce an immediate supply.
 The P-80 has not yet been in combat but a few have been over seas. The plane, made by Lock- heed, manufacturers of the famed P-3s Lightnings. is said to have range comparable to other long range fighters, though no particulars are available. Armament consists of six 30 calibre machine guns. It has a glass-smooth plano fin- ish in gray enamel which increases the speed.

Police Board Reported Agreeable to Discussing
 Plan Today

The Board of Police Commission CTS at its meeting today may pos sibly discuss the feasibility of the city of Waterbury buying, in part or in full, the uniforms of the members of the police department.
 Waterbury, New Haven and New London are among the few state communities which do not purchase the uniforms of their policemen. It has been reported that some consideration is being given this possibility by the members of the board.
 The sum of $11,2 200 was set aside in the 1945 budget of the city of Hartford for new uniforms while the cities of Bridgeport and New Britain set aside $500 and $3,210 respectively for such purposes in their current budgets. Waterbury sets aside $60 for repairs to uni- forms when damaged in line of duty.

 Washington, Aug. = (UP) - The German separations policy be- ing formulated at Potsdam will bear little if any resemblance to the u1l- successful one imposed on Germany after World War I, well informed officials said today.
 In the first place, 1t has long been agreed by the major Allies that reparations this time shall be "in kind" and not in money. The en- phasis after World War I was on money.
 The emphasis this time will be on good, materials and equipment which Germany now possesses or can produce without rejuvenating her war or heavy industries.
 The Allies find themselves now lot more interested in obtaining from Germany things to reconstruct their own devastated countries than in an impressive monetary figure which experience has shown can not be collected.
 Nevertheless, the tendency is to attempt to evaluate German repar- ations. Some qualified guesses indi- cate that the separations in kind" which the Allies expect to get from Germany within a few years may come near in value to the money they once tried to collect over a long period.
 Advance Payment
 The Paris peace conference of man separations. It demanded "an advance payment" of 10000, ,000, 900 marks (about $4,500, 900, ,0O0) by May 1921, when a commission was to set the overall sum. That figure turned out to be 132,000,0Oo0 0o0 marks, or about $31 ,00O, 100000.
 Germany actually paid only $4,- 470, 300, 900, according to the figures of the reparations commission. Even the principal ultimately was re- duced to fewer than $10,000, ,000, ,000 by the Dawes and Young plans.
 Estimates that the value of World War figure are based in part on a Russian proposal early this year.

 WING Director

Textile factories in Connecticut still have many job openings, State Director William J. Fitzgerald of the War Manpower Commission said today, in declaring that filling of these vacancies was necessary in the war effort.
 MT. Fitzgerald said that the work CTS were needed by firms engaged in the manufacture of thread, yarn and cloth both for military and es- Sential civilian needs. Hundreds of jobs are open in mills in the eastern part of Connecticut and we have been asked by the government to make referrals to these jobs.
 Firms seeking men and women are prepared to train unskilled workers as weavers and other highly skilled trades. We are behind in production in these mills and the Army and Navy departments have asked us to recruit workers from other areas to work in the mills. ask all available men and women in the mill territories to take these jobs and help the war effort"

 But" states the article, war or no war, their answers make it clear that the population suffers from ser- ious lacks and deficiencies in what we eat. The great majority of the experts estimate that between one quarter and three-quarters of the American people are not eating the foods they need"
 The most striking of the many badly mistaken views about food and nutrition" Americans entertain "has to do with vitamin prepara- tions," The American asserts, add ing:
 More than half of the experts lament the widespread false beliefs about vitamin pills and the accept ance of them as cure-alls or as sub stitutes for proper food. A number of the nutritionists do not mince words in blaming the advertisers, particularly radio advertisers, for spreading this transformation"
 One expert felt that fifty per cent of our population would probably profit by way of growth, develop ment, and general health if it were better nourished." To achieve this the experts recommend better edu- cation about food, bigger incomes so that the poorest people may buy food they need, and the making available of more satisfactory and enriched foods.
 More than three-quarters of the experts listed calcium and vitamins B1 and B2 as food elements that are especially deficient" says the Amer ican. "Also high on the lists were vitamin c, proteins, niacin, iron, and vitamin A. The solution, they say, lies in eating the right foods. All the things we require are contained in ordinary available foods.
 ''Top place goes to milk. Eighty nine per cent of all the experts call attention to its special value in inn proving poor diets. Other dairy pro- ducts, especially cheese, are also re- commended.
 vegetables stand next. Their use is mentioned in 30 per cent of the answers. Quite few replies call par ticular attention to the importance of eating more green and yellow vegetables, leafy vegetables, legumes (peas, beans, etc) tomatoes, and soybean products. Other foods vide ly recommended are whole grains, fruits and fruit juices, meats, poul- try and fish, eggs, peanuts, and yeast products"
 Easing their answers on surveys and reports of actual conditions, rather than merely expressing off, hand opinions, virtually all of the experts mentioned the poor, and the south and southeast when asked what groups and regions have the poorest diets," The American re- veals, concluding that 'it is evident that improvement of the nations use of food must concentrate on bettering conditions in the south and among poor people everywhere"
 More than 90 per cent of the ex- perts emphasize the need of educat- ing adults and children in nutrition facts, in food preparation, and in food selection.

Among Miss Fagan's many duties, Dr. Gilmartin said, will be the ex- animation of returning soldiers, who wish to obtain high-school diplomas to qualify them for college en- frances.
 Other services will include the in- troduction of new courses to meet current education needs and the re- vision of courses.
 Effective Subjects
 Visualizing a radical change in methods of education throughout the nation within the next few years the superintendent of schools as- serted that all courses in the future will be integrated and lead to a common point. we hope to do away with the so-called tyrannies of the educational system, offering more elective subjects and broad- CT curriculum" Courses in health and home and family life will be among the new subjects introduced in schools here, Dr. Gilmartin said.
 It is also planned to broadcast science and spelling matches in whiHh elementary school children wi1 participate at least once a month. Dr. Gilmartin pointed out the introduction of these matches will not only surprise the people of the city of the work being done in the schools here but will also prove educational to adults. Miss Pagan will be in charge of the programs, he said.
 Miss Pagan, who is resigning as principal of Slocum school in order to assume her new position, yester- day stressed the need for more ir- dividual guidance for elementary school graduates to assist them in their selection of high school courses.
 Keeping in step with the increas- ing emphasis on visual education, Miss Pagan said she, hoped also to enlarge the school system Film Lib- rary. It is expected that Roy Walch, director of visual education here, will assist Miss Pagan.

The war which has produced scar

The war which has produced scar cities in many foods has, paradox ically, improved the nutrition of American civilians, according to a group of food and health experts participating in an American Maga- zine poll on Does America Eat AS It Should?"
 "Ia the judgment of the over whelming majority of the experts, the war has actually improved our nutrition" states an article appear ing in the September American, based on the poll of dietitians, nu- triton experts, prominent doctors, and social service authorities. The principal reason for this given by experts participating in the poll con- ducted by Dr. Arthur Kornhauser of Columbia Uniersity'S Bureau of Ap- piled Social Research is "that peo- pie, especially poorer people, have more money to spend for food"
 Asked how civilians fared with food since the war began, here's the

Such reports, he said, were only rumors."
 Dr. Osborn said that no more than the usual number of infantile paralysis cases were expected to be reported in the state this summer.
 Hartford, Conn.,, Aug. 1.-(UP) The state supreme court today upheld the conviction by New Ha- ven county superior court of four men charged with conspiracy to violate the gaming laws by oper- ating an alleged horse race bet ting establishment.
 The four men were John ID. Mclaughlin, Jerome Bangert, Da- vid Celantano and Philip Paci- leo, who were among 19 arrested in the fall of 1943 in a series of gaming raids.
 The four defendants, it was charged, operated a telegraph wire service furnishing racing infOrma- ton and allegedly soliciting bets.
 The supreme court overruled their claims that the evidence off, fered in the superior court was sufficient to warrant conviction.
