 I had dream, and all through my dream I saw posters every where. Some said economic sanc- tions, some said no fair practice. no union help, still others just said we play ball for the duration and those last were signed by fair mer- chants, honest manufacturers and trustworthy labor organizations. I seemed to be in small town of 30 or 40 thousand population. The name of the town was WEN NOD- MOL (which translated from the language of the Incas means. vigil lant). Some one in my dream was showing a film record of progress made. A merchandising company name of Deceit Sisters had climbed from near bankruptcy to miracu- lous and financial power through black market methods, during their country's hour of trial. Dreams are crazy anyway, so could not find out who started it, but it worked out that merchants, manufacturers and labor got together through their organizations, and put pres- sure on Deceit Sisters from all sides until they squawked for mercy, and boy, I cheered with the rest. Then this Shan-dra-hah of honest free enterprise faded away into wakefulness, and looked around to find nothing had been done

 Loss of the rich Balkan oil re- sources has intensified the Ger man fuel problem, and observers here speculate that in a tug-of-war between the U-boat fleet and the Wehrmacht for short supplies, the hard-pressed land army would be likely to come out victor.

RENEWED SUB MENACE
By Pope Haley

Washington - While German submarines are no longer the serious problem they were in the dark days of the Battle Of the Atlantic" iu 1922, they are by no means a negligible factor in the war.
 German U-boat operations, and Allied countermeasures, still rank near the top of 'top secret" Such information as is given the public comes only from the highest level, issued jointly in the names of Presi- dent Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill.
 Conclusions Cited
 Analysis of such disclosures as have been made recently, however. justifies the conclusion that:
 1. German U-boats are more in evidence than they were, say year ago.
 2. In recent months, an undeter- mined but probably small number have managed to approach closer to American shores and convoy rendezvous points. After 1942 and early in 1943, when counter-mea- sures were organized and strength ened, the rowing ''wolfpacks" were driven back closer to their bases.
 3. Increased activity of the raid- CTS is, in a sense, confirmed by of ficial disclosure that anti-submarine forces succeeded in destroying more of them in February than in Janu- ary. Further evidence is that AL lied ship losses in January were of- ficially described as ''very smalP' and in February as moderate"
 A. While estimates of Germany's pre-war submarine fleet varied so widely as to mean nothing, and no figures have been released on the number sunk, official disclosures have described the still available force as large"

pany stooges that made up the union. These stooges in those shipyardS are called DELE GATES and those were the same delegates who were arrested by the federal government last sum- mer, for several charges from em- bezzlement to sabotage. We also read in the papers of the trouble that they had in those shipyards with the welders and of the strike that took place there last fall when thousands of men were put out on the street not knowing the why or the wherefore or the reason. No, the company union at Fore River and Hingham has nothing to be proud of. If our memory serves us right in the last election held at these shipyards, the so- called Independent Union with drew from the ballot and urged the employees of these yards to vote NO UNION
 As for another one of the ques- tions, we would like to point out now that the majority of AFofL Unions in this yard have Grade A employees AND THEY PAID NO INITIATION FEE, not even the $500 that was mentioned in the article. As matter of fact, the two largest unions in this yard, namely the Boilermakers and the Machinists, which comprise bet ter than 659o of the employees, and members can transfer to any

A Union Statement

Very recently letter to the Editors of the EBCo News article signed by Harcd A. Thomas brought to the attention of The Sub Editor Several questions obviously camouaged antiunion propaganda, asked in this article retroactive money that paid to the Hngha and Fore River hpyard workers It might be well to point that in the first place retroactive in these yards gift the workers it money earned and the company union there way respon sbe the workers receiving it but should like to point out to Mr. Thomas that the socaed Independent Union those two shipyards HAS NEVER WON AN ELECTION.

Democrats and Republicans are debating the probable effect of the current legislative deadlock on major appointments due to come I'D this year, many of them involv- ing the approval of the legislature. Such Democratic stalwarts as Motor Vehicles Commissioner John T. Mccarthy of Newton and State Tax Commissioner Walter Walsh of New Haven are among the many, whose terms expire during l945.
 It is not definite yet what the governor will do about the Aero llautic Commission. Thomas J. Lockhart, the commissioner, is in military service with his duties as- gumed by his former deputy, Ken meth H. Ringrose Lockhart's term would have expired on June l.

 The next morning-December 15 The ship was bombed again. Fewer than goo survivors got into the water and swan for shore, Petritz said.
 He said most of those who lost their lives were prisoners unable to get out of the hold before the ship went down.
 Conditions aboard the vessel were frightful. the all,stocky officer said.
 Half Of the prisoners were put into the after hold of the vessel, which was lcss than the size of a regulation tennis court and only AS high as a mans head.
 Some of the Americans died from suffocatlon in the short time they were aboard the vessel, Petritz said. He estimated that about 90 per cent of the men probably would have died ultimately even If the Americans had not attacked the ship.
 He said about 30 prisoners in the after hold were wounded during the bombing attack. But that hap pened 12 hours after the Japanese could have evacuated the prisoners, he pointed out

 At the southern end of the beach, head area, other marines were as- saulting the isolated Suribachi vol- cane with flame throWers and tanks. Numerous land mines were slowing the advance. and q communique conceded that four American tanks had been knocked out in that sector yesterday.
 The Japanese counter-attacked east of Surlbachi shortly after noon yesterday, but were thrown back. The volcano itself was studded with gen emplaccmcnts, most of which still were in action despite a week of ceaseless air and naval bolnbard- ment.

 The unloading of supplies and re- Inducements continued unintcrrupt- ed. However, the movement of equip mcnt across the beaches was handi- capped by very loose volcanic ash which in some sectors prevented the passage of wheeled vehicles.
 The latest marine unit to be thrown into battle was the Third Division under Maj. Cen. Graves B. Erskinc, former chief of staff of fleet marine forces in the Pacific. IL received it's baptism of fire Nov. l, 1943 on Bougainyillc and also spear headed the liberation of Guam.

 by almost a half-million more than the other three cities. The citys to- tai for 1943 was $3,867, ,l86 more than the l942 total list of $186, ,66l ,453.
 Corresponding increases shown by other cities for the same year are as follows: Hartford, $3,429.385; New Haven t3,l67146: Bridgeport, S3.- 406, 1885.
 Conversely, in 1914, these three major cities suffered sharp decreases while Waterbury iS said to have in- creased considerably. The following are the decreases noted for 1914 for these cities: Hartford, Q decrease of 3,419,515 as the total Grand List there descended from $301 ,03l ,389 in 1943 to $385 ,0s2, ,480 last year; New Haven, 8 decrease of $888,067 re- sulting from the decline of the Grand List there of 1943 of $320,- 305, ,497 to the 1944 total of 43I9,507,- 430; Bridgeport, decrease in 1044 of $1,970,0l5 when the 1944 list of $282. 200, ,680 was compared to the years previous list of $284. .260, ,606. Waterbury's 1945 budget has been predicated upon an estimated Grand List of $100 millions but 1t is ex- pected that this will be exceeded when final estimates are compiled by the office of MT. Kilduf and his staff of commissioners.
 At present a revaluation of all real and personal property in Wa terbury Is being undertaken by the firm of George Horan, Inc, the lat ter retained by the city to conduct such survey at a cost approXi- mating $70,000. It has been spccu- lated that as result of such a sur vey many property assessments may be increased.
 Simultaneously, city authorities have presented to the Legislature a bill calling for changing the methods of the city's assessors office and elimination or some or all of the present staff of commissioners. The bill calls for the appointment of one chief assessor at $7,500 annually and two assistants.
 This bill is comparable 10 that proposed by Republican authorities two years ago which successfully passed but later was vetoed by the governor However, the Republican bill called for appointment of the chief assessor by means of q two- third majority vote of the board of aldermen while the present bill calls for appointment by the board of fi- nance. Appointment is for six year term and is to become effective upon ratification within three months after passage of the bill.
 It is not expected that Republl- can sources will oppose the bill be- cause of It's alignment with their original measures.
 Present commissioners whose po- sitions will likely be threatened by adoption of such bill are besides MT. Kilduff Miss Jane Kilduff, sec retary and Joseph McGinniss, John JcnusaltB and Robert c. Stone.

Senote Okoys Work-Or-EIse

Washington, Feb. 22-UP)-The Senate Military Affairs committee today approved q "work-or-fi fight" Dill including fines and prison terms for employers who hoard labor.
 Committee Chairman Ebert D. Thomas, D., Utah, said the revised bill was approved after 1t had been agreed in committee that penalties inserted yesterday should apply mostly to employers instead of in- dividual workers.
 The committee vote came after lengthy discussion of amendments by Sens. Warren R. Austin, R., Vt., and Willard K. Tydingg. D., Md, which were tentatively added yes- terday.
 The Austin amendment would make penalty provisions of the Scc- Ond War Powers act-$l0 900 fine or one year in jail-apply to any per- son who violates regulations under the proposed new manpower law.
 The Tydings amendment would make Selective Service act penalties --1lO,000 fine or five years impris- onfnent--apply to any person not acceptable for combat service who quits farm job, for which defere- ment has been granted, without ap- proval of the local draft board.

In an ingenious discussion of a World Police Force In the Ioebru- ary issue of Cosmopolitan maga- zine, Paul Schubert, noted student of world affairs, suggests that, for global police purposes, the world be divided into four areas: 1J the Americas; @ Europe and Africa; (3) Asia; (D the Far East.
 The police contingent assigned to each area would be sub-divided into two equal groups, one group furnished by the areas major pow CT, the remainder by the lesser states.
 Under such plan. the United States, instead of maintaining q huge pcacctime army, would have only 125,0 ,000 members in the active pool and would have some 250,000 trained men in reserve. In the Americas, Canada, Central and South America, between them. would provide an equal number of men.
 On a similar roportionate ba- sis the United States, England, Russia and China as the four great powers, and their satellites would provide 10000 aircraft and reserve force double that on active duty, and also comprehensive Navy and Merchant Marine.
 Tn case of aggressions that might lead to war, the Active Police Force would be available immediately while the Reserve Police Force would be called to duty If il state of world emergency were declared. If the situation went beyond the powers of the active and reserve po- lice to curb 1t. then state of world war would be declared, followed by the full mobilization of all nationn' resources The global police force would be at the disposal of Cotln- ell of Nations
