Catalogues Prove
 Clothing Shortage

WASHINGTON-F -FP) . Legis- latlve Secretary Russell Smith of the National Farmers Union in a letter to WIPE Chairman J. A. Krug and OPA Administrator Chester Bowles said this week that farmers see no relief from the OPA-WPB textile program. Smith said farmers are un- able to buy overalls and farmwives are unable to obtain cotton yard goods for dresses.
 As an example of the situation, Smith wrote it was dramatically illustrated by the fact that Sears Roe buck & Co.,. and Montgomery Wards spring catalogues list no denim over alls. A few. gabardine or corduroy overalls are listed but these are of no use for farm work. Yet these same catalogues advertise a great quantity of slacks and other sports clothes"

Trying To Smash
 OPA, Union Charges

CHICAGO = Accusing the meat packers of ''creating an artificial shortage,' packing house workers said here it was 'snO accident that the pack ers'' action immediately fol- lowed '"the favorable decision rendered by the National War Labor Board on behalf of the packinghOuse workers"
 Many Laid Off
 Pointing out that ''there is exis- tent today cut in the production of meat which has resulted in the laying off of thousand of workers. 5 a resolution adopted by District |, United Clearinghouse Workers, said: ''It is no longer possible to openly oppose our nations policy of lend-lease, but it is possible to attempt to create the scare of a meat famine and thus try to frighten the people into the belief that there will be real starvation in this country if we continue to send food to our allies.
 "The American Meat Institute is participating in this strategy of snip ing at our postwar prosperity. It is, therefore, obvious that the packers are stalling for time to create a wedge in the San Francisco confer ence around the issue of food ship ments during the postwar period and to create an argument for the smash ing of OPA controls on prices and profits in order to secure price re- lief"
 The resolution asked the union to investigate how much the pack CTS are getting through the sub- sidy of Hc on each pound of beef ''and to publicize this as source of their enormous wartime pro- fits.''

 Rivers Reply
 Dear Sir and Brother:
 "This will acknowledge receipt of your letter of March 13, 1o45, en- closing copy of letter addressed to MT. Daniel w. Tracy, Assistant Secretary of Labor, in which you re- quest the Board to grant increases in wages to the building and construc- tion industry in the State of Con- necticut.
 "You will note from the records there have been many increases granted to building and construction trades in the State of Connecticut by the Wage Adjustment Board and Boards which preceded the Wage Ad- justment Board.
 ''There is a set plan as to how wages for building and construction trades workers can be increased. If Local Unions, or Councils list ing their Local Unions, submit a signed form to this Department re- questing wage increases, you may be sure that I will do what I can to, have the Board act favorably upon requests, which we i'm turn will have filed with the Wage Ad- justment BOard.'
 A large amount of business was acted upon by the board at its regu- lar monthly meeting April 4. Samples Of the new constitution were sub mitted by the constitution committee, headed by Thomas Yoczik, who said that copies will be ready for distribu- tion in the near future. A report was given on the conference held with the state War Manpower Commission authorities on the matter of some plants using men obtained for produc- tion work in the capacity of mainte- nance men. The commission agreed that it would give all possible assist ance in correcting this situation.
 Vice-President George Joslyn re- ported that the bill for enabling legislation for a uniform State Building Code had been approved by the legislative committee with out opposition.
 O'Kane talso reported on the splendid support given the State FederatiOn's Workmen's Compen- sation Bills by the building trades.
 Vice-President Dennis P. Byrnes reported that the prevailing wage is being paid on all construction by the city of Bridgeport, but that steps are being taken to have this policy trans formed into a city ordinance, so that any future administration not friendly to labor would be unable to change the present policy. Similar ordinances are also under consideration in a number of other Connecticut cities, as result of the State Councils ac- tivities.
 Vice-President John Caspic, who is also Assistant Secretary of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, urged all locals to send in their official wage scale to the State Fed eration, and to the State Council, Requests are being received con- tinually for this information.
 In addition to those mentioned above, the meeting was attended by George Sabo, Waterbury; George Lockwood, Stamford; James Bren- nan, New Haven; John Bike, Bridgeport; Albert Green, Green wich; Paul Willnauer, Hartford; Nicholas Simeone, Hartford, and Sam, Cappola, New Haven. The next board meeting will be held We'd nesday, May 2, at 10 AM.

the yellow-fronted house where Hit
Ter was born. The same, sad-eyed
policeman led us into the room
where der F'uehrer first saw the
light of day.
1t was plain and bare except for
the chairs facing toward the front
like a school-room. In the corner,
where Hitler's bed used to stand
hung a map of what he called great
err Germany.
In the center of the room on a
pedestal was a huge, bronze bust OF
Hitler with a fancy circular red
background tackled on the wall be-
hind it. The whole room looked
more like something from the five
and ten cent store than the mecca
for Nazidom's loyal sons and daugh-
terS.
Hitler himself visited the ugly,
yellow house only once aftei his
rise to power. That was in 1886,
when he had to come to Austria
anyway to take over the country.
Most people here had never seen
him. But they heard him over the
radio often.
The police chief was broken
hearted about surrendering the
town to the Americans. Major w.
A. Gray, st. Louis, Mo, asked him
what he thought about Hltler's
death. He merely shrugged.
I'VE knew it was coming sooner
or later" he said.
The Germans here first decided
not to give up Braunau, but the
18th armored division told thcm If
it wasn't undefended oy noon they
would open with bombs and artll-
lery.
The $50 Germans in the town
pulled out shortly after noon ano
the Americans tackled the perpleI-
ing problem of crossing the swift
Inn river with both bridges blown
Finally Smith took some men n
several narrow, rotten boats which
he found in the local yacht club. l
went with him in the first boat.
We made it all right, but three
other boats drifted downstream and
crashed into a bridge. At least one
soldier was drowned.
Everybody making the crossing
was irritated greatly by radio re-
port yesterday Braunau had been
taken. "If that's SO, why the hell
are we sweating now?" they de-
manded
When we entered Braunau it was
almost like the old days in France
because we had to push excited Aus
trians away from US.
Four German officers tried to
make a fight of it. They came
racing around corner with me-
chine gun which they tried TO set
up. G. rs quickly knocked them
over with rifle fire.
Hitler's homefolks took to the new
occupation readily. will you please
tell me what time must be inside
tonight" they asked me all alter
noon. And they seemed to like the
idea of being told what to do.

Munich, May 3-(UP)-About the
only good German I've met since We
invaded this country said today it
will be long time before Germany
is reborn politically
He is venerable Cardinal Faulha-
Der, the 66-year old Archbishop of
Munich, who never knuckled to the
Nazis even though the Gestapo had
it's headquarters next door to his
palace.
Cardinal Faulhaber said he hoped
there soon will be a religious re-
Nuisance in Germany. But the pol
itical renaissance will take a long
time"
Naziism has warped the Germans
so thoroughly that it will take years
to overcome its evil influences, he
told another correspondent and me.
The Cardinal, wearing his bright
scarlet skull cap over thinning gray
hair and dressed in a black rob3,
received us in his badly-bombed
palace.
He apologized for receiving us In
a simple upstairs room but explain
ed that most Of his palace was de-
stroyed or too badly damaged and
had been condemned by the police
as unsafe.
But we're lucky at that" he said.
"This is the only building still in
habited in this street, or il the en-
tire district, for that matter
He seemed to accept the Allied
bombings as part of modern war
and pointed out that the ministry of
interior and police building had
been next door and bombs aimed
for that had hit his palace.
AS long ago as 1885 the Nazis
tried to clamp down on the Cardin-
al, but they never dared violate him
personally. For years he attacked
them in sermons and pastoral let
tiers, but he said he couldn't fight
too openly for fear of reprisals
against priests on his staff, If not
against himself.
Faulhaber said the Nazis had in
flicted very deep damage" to
Germans moral fiber. He told how
they developed an anti-Christian
atmosphere, abolished religious in
struction for children over u, and
scheduled their Hitler jugend meet
ings on Sunday mornings to conflict
with religious services.
Thus the Nazis got hold Of Ger
man youth in their most formative
years and the damage is very deep.
But we must begin again to rebuild
religion, and first of all We must
rebuild the churches" Fulhaber
said.

Reds Search
For Bodies

London, May 3-(UP)-Victori-
GUS Red Army troops searched the
rubble of captured Berlin today for
she bodies of Adolf Hitler and his
crippled henchman, Paul Joseph
Goebbels.
On the success of their hunt,
hinged the solution to the greatest
mystery of the war-whether Hit
Ter and Goebbels actually were
dead, and if so, whether they COM
mitted suicide, were killed by So
Wet shells or died of natural caus-
es
The Soviets also may find among
the dead and 10000 prisoners in
Berlin such personages as Reichs-
marshal Hermann Goering, Joa-
chin Won Ribbentrop, ousted only
yesterday as German Foreign Min
lister, Martin Bormann, chief of the
Nazi party, and other leading
Nazis.
