Sgt.Wissusky
 Now Serving In Yokohama
Given Commentator For Valiant Work

1stISgt.' Edward J. Wisausky, son of Mrs. Frank zuraitis, OaKville, is now serving with the 1383rd En- gineer Petroleum Distribution Com pany in Yokohama, Japan. Sgt. Wisausky landed in Japan on Aug ust 30th. His unit was the first to debark at the Yokohama docks, and had been preceded to the Jap home land only by elements of the 11th Airborne Division.
 Sgt. Wisausky was inducted at Fort DevenS and was initially aS- signed to the Field Artillery at Fort Bragg. He was later transferred to the Corps of Military Police, and took training at Fort Ontario, Fort Dix, and Camp Butner. In March, 1944, Wisausky was assigned to the Corps of Engineers at Camp Clai- borne. He left the United State in September, 1914, from San Francisco and spent nine months in the Hol- landia- a-Tanahmerah Bay sector of Dutch New Guinea. For several months, he was in charge of a de- tachment of his unit at Finsch- hafen. Last May, his unit moved to the Philippines where it remained until 1t was ordered to Japan.
 The initial mission of Wisausky's unit in Japan was to construct a 17-mile pipeline from the Yokohama docks to the Atsugi Airdrome a task the Japanese had never ac- complished. Within 27 hours, the four-inch line was laid and in oper- ation; and gasoline was being sup piled to the hundreds of transport planes which landed at Atsugi dur ing the initial days of the occupa- tion. With no sleep for nearly three days, and with only C-rations for food, Wisausky directed his men in the construction job which later earned a letter of commendation from Lt.-Gen. Eichelberger, con- mander of the Eighth Army.
 Sgt. Wisausky wears the Asiatic Pacific theater ribbon with, battle stars for participation in the New Guinea and Philippine Island cam paigns, the American Defense rib bon, the Philippine Liberation, Vic tory, and Army Good Conduct medals.

Al DreScher, Recalls First
Delivered Copies of
 Waterbury Valley l Democrat Dec. !, 1887
(By BETTY BLANCHARD)

The year was 1887. President Grover Cleveland was demanding high tariff to ward of the danger of surplus financing, a weekly salary of $20 provided luxurious living, and women were wearing bustles.
 In a large room, buzzing with nervous activity above blacksmith shop on Scovill street, a tow headed lad, bundled in woolens, moved restlessly beside a dozen ether impatient boys - amid the clutter and confusion that is al- ways will be a part of the realm of newspaper publishing.
 Here it is last, men," exclaimed a dark, slender man in his thirties as he quickly turned the pages of a six-page edition still damp with ink. Aproned figures rushed from wooden roll-top desks and hand printing presses to peer over the shoulder of the tall man as he scanned each column with an ex- perienced eye.
 "It's a good paper, Meany," said the tall man to a well-dressed gen. tlemen by his side.
 "A Great Future"
 Ut is that, Cornelius" Editor Meany replied enthusiastically, with a slight Celtic accent. And it's bound for a great future. I won't be long before this town will be a great manufacturing center and thousands of Evenings Democrats will be rolling of the presses"
 The dark young man picked up a stack of papers and distributed them to the blond newsboy and his colleagues. Good luck to you, lads" he said.
 So was born the Waterbury Eve ming Democrat which eventually became Connecticut's leading Democratic newspaper. Cornelius Maloney and his brother, Michael, had dreamed for four long years of publishing a daily newspaper while they turned out the weekly Waterbury Valley Democrat. The tow-headed boy who helped deliver the infant Evening Democrat on that memorable evening of Decem- Der 2, 1887, was Alfred Drescher, one of Waterbury's leading res- tauranteurs since the turn of the century.
 As MT. Dreshcer reminisced with . group of friends seated around a table in his establishment the other evening, he wildly recalled that the kerosene street lamps were being lighted on the evening the paper made Its debut in the growing com munity which boasted population of approximately 29,000 and thriv- ing brass manufacturing industry comprising more than a dozen fac tories.
 The newspaper, MT. Drescher said, met an increasing demand. AeEalded as a staunch champion of Democratic idelas, 1t was neces- sary after a few months in the daily field to add four columns to its size in order to accommodate its advertisers. The last edition of the Valley weekly announcing the coming daily, said in part:
 we have secured a carefully sell lected staff of editors and completed arrangements for special tele- graph service. We have also secured the authors written promise to pub fish some of the most thrilling incl dents of the late war" The reference was unquestionably to the Civil War.
 The reStaurateur smiled as he re- called that he carried never more

President Truman Presents Charter
 To Senate

WASHINGTON, July 2-(R-l President Truman presented the United Nations charter in person to the Senate and urged prompt ratification. The choice before the Senate is "now clear" the Presi- dent said in brief speech, "the choice is not between this charter and something else; it is between this charter or no charter at all."
 The Senate must ratify the United Nations charter for world security to assure this nations participation. The President went to the Capitol less than twenty four hours after his return from San Francisco where he addressed the closing session of the United Nations conference. "This charter points down the only road to en- during peace. There is no other. Let us not hesitate to join hands with the peace-loving people of the earth and start down that road with the firm resolve we can and will reach our goal"
 The President made no attempt to go into details of the charter, telling his former colleagues he was sure they were familiar with its working and will be thorough ly discussed in Senate debate.
