Conflict Looms On
 World Peace Plans
U s. Senator Ball Predicts Division of Sentiment;
 AggressOr Nation Angle Presents Problem

Therell be decided conflict within the U. s. Senate on the question of giving a world peace organization ''real power" to act against aggres- sor nations. but there are five req. sons that foreshadow probable sen- ate approval of such an organization Senator Joheph 1T. Ball, tRO of Min- nesota, declares in a signed article In the current issue of Golfers Magazine.
 "rhere is now much greater pub- llc awareness of the Issue and its implications" than there were when the Senate rejected the League of Nations, Senator Ball says. AS a re- fiection Of this interest, which he lists as the first reason favoring Senate approval, he points to the election of il pro-peace organlZa- tions senators last fall and the de- feat of eight isolationist senators,
 The four other reasons favoring Senate approval, as listed by Sen- ator Ball, a leading champion of world peace organization, are:
 1. "A strong majority of the Sen- ate Foreign Relations Committed, probably l7 of the g members, favor an international peace organization" while majority of the committee was opposed to the league. Because of the weight attached to commit tee recommendation in the Senate, this Is very important advantage. :"
 ?. The opposition strategy of delay which worked so well in iol0- 20 is not apt to be tolerated this time," because the war in the Pa- ciflc "wil. still be in progress and the people have shown repeatedly their dislike for protracted debate during the war"
 3. "The strong supporters of the League were all Democrats in 1919, except for one Republican, (while) the support this time will be truly bipartisan" Thus the peace organ- ization question will not be a par- tlsan issue.
 {. The most powerful argu- ment" for the organization is the realization that V-5 or V-l0 wea-

pon would bring about in another war horror of destruction" that would almost certainly destroy our democratic and liberal form of gov- ernment.
 Senator Bah points out that ab senators are now known as likely supporters of world peace organ ization, % are likely to support rec servRtions, 10 are ready to oppose any treaty to the limit" and the attitude of l9 is uncertain or un. known. A two-thirds majority of 64 is needed for approval
 The Minnesota senator cautions against overoptimism by supporters of n world peace organization, de- claring that several factors which counted heavily against the League will be present to an even greater degree In the United Nations trea- ty."
 Among these is the fact, he con. tends, that President Roosevelt is even more bitterly disliked by many senators, of both parties, than was President Wilson," and because the president advocates such an organ. ization, some of these senators will vote against 1t.

3,924 More Workers
 Needed Here By July

Manufacturing firms in Water bury in report to the War Man power Commission on anticipated employment needs during the next few months announced that they will require some 3,024 addi- tional workers by July, State Di- rector William J. Fitzgerald of the War Manpower Commission said today.
 The state director said that some 406 firms in the state re- ported that they will need approx imately 25,8ll more men and wom- en workers in July if the present up-swing in production holds. With Selective Service taking many men from the different factories, women workers will have to replace these future sol- diers, MT. Fitzgerald said.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-03-02

The report of the War Man power Commission shows that approximately 44,l96 men and women were employed by 36 firm in Waterbury in January of this year. This compared with 47,- O72 workers in January of last year. MT. Fitzgerald said that the concerns in this city expect to rise to 47,488 workers In May and then reach about 48,l20 men and women in July.
 The War Manpower Commis- sion head said that most of the l8 principal cities in the state reported an anticipated rise in employment during the next few months. Only sudden cut backs due to a change in the war picture would change the present trend, MT. Fitzgerald said.

like flies, of disease, of 10 hours
daily in prison camp under the hot
sun in fields, or waist high in water
OF rice paddles under hard eyes, Of
frequent beatings and shootings.
Details Painful to Recall.
These experiences lay heavily
upon them. Details were painful
to recall. Yet many of them fore
swore the probability of returning
home Immediately to stay and drop

The prisoners had heard the pre-
invasion bombardment of Luzon
and news of the landing, but the
rescue came as complete surprise.
1t erupted suddenly with the rat
tie of automatic weapons just as
the ships bell, which was the camp
time piece, tolled 1900 q p.mD over
the weary tired men.
Most of the prisoners headed for
the ground or the floor, thinking
the gunfire meant the japanese
were liquidating them-a fate many
had long expected. Then they saw
the Rangers.
One said, take 1t easy, fellows,
the Yanks are here"
Another hauled Yank prisoner
from the floor saying, I'VE got this
place, pal"
Couldn't Believe 1t Was True.
1t all happened so quickly most
Of them couldn't believe 1t was true.
But their feelings were echoed by an
officer who said, Boy, these Rangers
sure showed us American power"
Back at the 92d evacuation hospi-
tai the dream gradually became real
as they were given medical care,
toilet articles and showers.
The captives gradually relaxed as
they realized they were not dream
ing. but were actually free men
again.
They lined up for supper Of boned
chicken, peas, beans, fruit salad, jam
and Cocoa veritable banquet after
the starvation fare of the Japanese
prison camp.
Second Helpings Again.
They recalled when 10000 men at
the Cabanatuan prison camp near
Cabu used to spend all day strung
out in line for a canteen full Of wa
ter from one Of the camps four
spiggots.
Invited to ask for more and eat
all they want, one Of the men COM
mented:
Where we come from the put
you in the guardhouse If you ask
for more
Several of the men in line care
fully snuffed out their cigarettes and
placed the butts behind their ears.
BY nightfall their conversation
became more animated and was not
particularly distinguishable from
that of other hospital patients.
Quiet soon settled over the tense
ward as real rest came to the ex-
hausted, SCARED army which came
