 eight years. Most of this he did not pay back.
 During one of these closed ses- sions, Congressmen thought they ran across the clue as to why Jesse Jones was always so con- fident he would not be fired by Franklin Roosevelt. In his battle with Henry Wallace over the Board of Economic Warfare, and during the anti Roosevelt opera tions of his nephew in Texas, Jesse always seemed cocksure that his political future was abso- lutely safe.
 What the Committee heard was the testimony of Deputy Inter mai Revenue Commissioner Nor man Cam to the effect that Jesse Jones apparently had never. |. collected from Elliott Roosevelt for the $4,000 paid to settle the S2OCiOOO loan from John Hart ford, head of the A and P chain Stores. Cam testified that h. ternal Revenue agents who inter viewed Jesse Jones understood that Jesse has paid the $4,0o0 out of his own pocket.
 At this point in the testimony, one member of the Committee re- marked: Good for Elliott! That's the first time I ever heard of Jesse getting trimmed"
 SENATOR'S DINNER CHECK
 A 2O-minute argument over a $1.20 dinner check has crossed the ocean to haunt three U. s. Senators Russell of Georgia, May bank of South Carolina, and Mo- Clellan of Arkansas-all Demo- crats. The senators had their misunderstanding in the basement of Grosvenor House, in London, where the U. s. Army has ir1- stalled a mess hall for military personnel
 In this huge cafeteria, known affectionately as Willow Run be- cause of the assembly . line technique of piling the plate with food, breakfast is 20 cents, lunch 25 cents and dinner 30 cents. Comparable dinners elsewhere in London would be three or five dollars, and Willow Run custom CTS say the dinners served there are as good as two-dollar din- ners in Washington or New York.
 Senators Russell, Maybank and McClellon were dining one night with naval officer on the small balcony of the mess hall reserved for high-ranking officers. Prices are the same, but waitress service is provided.
 As they finished. the English waitress presented a check for the four meals. Russell refused the check, telling the girl that his party included United States Senators dining as guests of the U. s. Army.
 But we have no instructions. sir" the girl replied. Finally she signaled for her superior. Her superior, another English girl, also had no instructions. finally called the sergeant in cahrge of the mess hall.
 The mess sergeant came up blushing, and insisted that he, too. had no instructions.
 'I serve so many meals, I get paid for so many meals" he said. "That's the only way I can Op- crate"
 But Senator Russell, a member of the Military Affairs Commit tee, was adamant. We are guests of the United States Army" he insisted, "and I'm sure you will find if you look into it that our checks have already been ar- ranged for"

A Serious Community Problem

For the majority of us the housing problem doesn't personally exist; to those plagued by such problem it is heart ache The majority extend sympathy toward their more unfortunate brethren and console them with the thought that the situation is temporary" and the lat ter grasp at such consolation and blde their time.
 Yet this problem is and should be the concern of each one Jf us from commit nity standpoint, for all indications reveal that Waterbury like the majority of the nations urban areas is faced with perm anent housing complexity and not some thing temporary-unless we prepare lm- mediately tangible offset.
 Waterbury is not alone in this problem as national statistics, well prove For ex- ample; we are an urban nation with some 6 million dwellings classified as rural among our 37 million dwelling units. Yet in n194O a total of 14 million homes lacked flush toilets; 12 million had no private bath tubs; II million had no running wa ter and 8 million were without electricity. Yet we are supposed to have the highest standards in the World
 As currently reported in The Democrat OA OAAS dwellings in the city as well as the apart n1ent-type quarters, both coupled with a swollen populatin which may not be re- duced in the postwar era if means of en- ployment are afforded many of the imml- grant war-Workers. Therefore it beehoveS us to prepare now, not for any vague post war era because actually there will be no Specific postwar era as to this situation five allow these conditions to persist. There will be wars ending but no end ing to the housing situation and we will be saddled with confused, dispropor- tioned community, it's residents dlslo- cated and its reputation in diSrepute.
 Intimately joined with this problem is that of our citys slum areas; the breed ing grounds of delinquency, ignorance and despondency. They exist and don't let anyone ever tell you they don't for they may be found by the simple means of walking through few tortuous alley ways and viewing filtered back-yards and decrepit living quarters. A negative en- vironment has stunted, crippled and ruined much of Americas manhood. It is our community duty to wipe out such blight by sensible, far-sighted slum-clear- arce planning.
 We are fortunate in having three cap- able organizations in Waterbury, dealing with these problems; namely the City Planning Commission, Waterbury Realty Board and the City Housing Authority coupled with sound administration. Members of these committees are saddled with grave and humane problem which will require all the resources of the best minds of our city and the utmost in com- prehension of the future welfare of our community.
 A tremendous building program is slated for the postwar era. It will and has required broad planning and farsighted wisdom. We, of this city, must endeavor now and throughout the future to keep insStride with, and, if necessary, to forge ahead of any such tangible program. Our community's future is at stake. Let us not procrastinate or close our eyes to realities. We must prepare now!

terest, not more than per cent in any case, paid on deposits by such banks has long raised the question with many people why these insti- tutions should continue to charge an average of approximately 5 per cent on mortgages. That high rate has invited criticism, and encour- ages running to government agen- cies for loans. In fact the bankers were among the favorite whipping boys of the extreme New Dealers. In meeting government-sponsored competition the banks will remove a source of criticism, and strength. en themselves with that segment of the public that has been most vocal in castigating them.

being as is expected. We shall see Him by whose inexpressible love and mercy we get there, and all whom we loved, and all the lovable."
 The Christian message of immor- tality is always a welcome one to tired-spirited men. But in these days of death and world confusion, 1t is especially so. Livingstone passed on long ago to his reward. What is the realm like in which he dwells? How cheerful must his fellowship and conversation be with "the lovable.' This is a day to ponder the words of one of Gods great saints on the nature and significance of life after death.

measures against both the SER

"When God decides to call me
from this life the question of the
head of the Reich will have to be
settled anew. A faithful servant of
my Emporer and King throughout
my long life, I have always been
stauch supporter of the mon
archal system Of government. His
tory teaches us that the Reich and
Prussia, as well as other states,
owe their rulers immeasurably
much. Therefore, it concerns me
deeply that, as a result Of the last
war, the monarchal form Of gov
ernment was replaced by a repub-
|lican form. Despite these scruples,
II have not hesitated to serve the
German people under this form OF
government when called upon to
do so.
"Yet, experience showed me that
or nation-politically still weaker
than other, old democracies-with-
out strong authoritative and steady
leadership becomes too easily a
pawn of its parties and its exploit
ers. Election of a head Of state
and formation of governments often
were the source of great disturb
ances and shameful strife.
1T would also violate sound poll
cies of the state to combine the
offices of head of the Reich with
the head of the government in one
person. The legislative and execu-
tive branches must always remain
separated.
Therefore it is my wish that
Germany return to the monarchal
form of government after my death.
The House of Hohenzollern has a
Legitimate claim which has been
fortified by centuries of glorious
history and I am convinced that
the descendant of that house will
do all to secure peace, happiness
and prosperity for the German peo-
nle of the future
IT say farewell to the German
people with a feeling of deep gra-
titude for the confidence which it
has placed in me, as soldier
in the field and as Reich Presi-
dent. My life and thoughts belong
to Germany only. pray that God
may give the fatherland, which has
been hit hard by the war, new
future in peace and in prosperity
and in brotherly unity of the whole
German people. Signed Won Hin
