changes.
Still, as see II. this disorganl-
zation is paradoxically all to
the good-if we set about over
coming 1t in the right way. II
means we are starting from
scratch in our efforts to create
a new peace structure. The pre-
war world has been jumbled up,
and we have the unprecedented
privilege of reconstructing it on
new and better lines. It's stu
alton which hasn't existed be-
fore, since Adam.
OF course this reconstruction
is going to take time, and 1t will
be fraught with many perils.
Europe already Is torn with poll
tical upheavals, some OF which
have produced bloodshed. We
are likely to see q lot more of
this before the continent settles
down. Europe also Is facing a
dangerous period OF hunger and
cold and other privations, all of
which are breeders of discomfort.
Much the same thing is true of
the Orient.
However, It Is fortunate 1--WE
hope) that the Big Three-Am-
erica, Britain and Russia-have
emerged from the war with such
vast strength that among them
they can, by working through
the new United Nations Security
organization, keep things In
hand during the rehabilitation.
The only real danger of break
down would lie in a quarrel
among the trio. Should they fall
out-but maybe we'd better not
60 into that.
It's no use dismissing this dan
ger with the light remark that
trouble among the Big Three is

Impossible. That word "im-
possible" in the mealy mouths Of
hands-across-the-seas o r a o .,
has caused more trouble than all
the statesmen Of both hemi-
spheres could repair. There are
mighty few things which are
impossible" as witness the
atomic bomb-and most certain
ly quarrels among nations aren't
impossible.
Yet, while America, Russia
and Britain have some inter-
locking interests. there's nothing
in sight which would cause dis
sension. Their present DISPOSE
ton is to work together on
world rehabilitation. They've
had their differences of opinion
already-but the partnership re-

We stand at the gateway o. a

amounts to.
It would have been a hopeless

CALULLO ACCUSES
 CIO OFFICIALS
U. s. Time Corp. Employe Charges Executives With
 "Currying Favor"

In signed statement delivered tc The Democrat today Joseph Galullo inspector at the United States Time Corp, today accused officers of the CIO Local 251 of "currying favor with the management of the com- pany to the detrimeGt of the 5000 members"
 MT Galullo's statement is as fol- lows:
 Who, do the officers, the five and dime dictators of the U. s. Time, c. l. O. Unit, of Local 251, serve?
 Many members admit the condi- tions that exist in this Unit, and do not believe that they should be made public; a great many other mem- bers believe 1t should be published in the local papers. I agree with the latter, because the Company operates in this city and its en- ployes are mostly citizens and tax payers of this city.
 Secrecy, cannot correct the dis honesty, and insincerity, of these officers. and I believe the quickest and fairest way to correct this con- dition, is by bringing public opinion to bear.
 Let's look as the record:
 Contract dated July 22nd, 1941.
 Paragraph 3. Article 5-Hours. The Company agrees, as far as is practical, to effect an impartial dis tribution of working time within the same departmental occupa- tional group and to endeavor reason ably to equalize working time among the members of each group.
 This was not included in the 1943, and 1914 contract. Why?
 Paragraph 5. Article VI-Senior- ity. When an employe is perman- e,ltly or temporarily transferred from one department to another for any reason, there shall be no loss of seniority. In case of per- manent transfer. such employe's s seniority status in the new depart ment shall be dated in accordance with his previous record in the old department.
 This was included in the l943 contract. but not in the 1914 con- tract. Why?
 This is in contract between the same plant and the A. F. of L.
 Paragraph (dD. Section l2. Page 10. No employe covered by this con- tract shall be transferred to any other department without the em- ploye's full consent or else with the approval of the U',don. This can be done only according to seniority,
 This Is not in any of our con- tracts. Why?
 The evident fact is. that few of the offcers wish to curry favor with management for their own selfish interest at the expense of the 5000 members in this Unit.

30 MILLION OF. INVASION FUNDS.
 STILL IN AFRICA.

Washington, May IS = (U.PO = Nearly $30,000,000 of the special United States currency circulated by the Army in North Africa remains outstanding.
 The Army took along $159, ,000,- 900, circulated an estimated $lo0,- 100000 the Treasury said.
 To foil any Axis attempts to pass regular American money, much of which was footed in occupied coun- tries, the government printed spe- cial yellow seal on the invasion funds. The regular currency carries blue seal.
 Issued Only In Africa
 Thus If blue seal money was offer ed in Africa, shopkeeper or others would know the money, so far as North Africa was concerned, was H. legal. Likewise, had the Americans been unable to vacatc North Africa, the yellow seal money would have been declared invalid.
 U. 8. currency has not been used in subsequent American invasions. Instead, special invasion currency was printed in the kind of curren- cy locally used--lira, francs, etc.
 Where has this S3. ,000, 1000 of North African dollars gone2
 The Treasury says that obvi- ously some large proportion re- mains in use in North Africa. The remainder has found its way back to this country Some is actually being used in tra..s here. A con- siderable amount is tucked away in family albums and other places as souvenirs. Collectors have a large amount.
 Valid in U. S.
 The currency was backed by sil- yer. It is legal tende.' here. Many persons who have the money do not realize that they are holding or sperding money which once had been in circulation in North Africa.
 Regular American money is used by our forces in China.
 The treasury is not concerned about this. An official said that because there are nJ neutral coun- tries around that theater of war no appreciable amour t could leave the regular channels of trade.
 Although there is considerable smuggling between Chungking- controlled and Japanese-controlled China, there is little concern over the smuggling of American curren- cy to the Japanese. Their oppor- tunity to use 1t is minimized be- cause of the inaccessibility of neu- tral countries where it could be passed, 1t was said.

RED CROSS SEES

More workers will be needed in the near future by the home service division of the local chapter of the American Red Cross than at any time since the outbreak of the war, 1t was announced today.
 The shifting of troops to other areas will increase the work of this Red Cross division to such a large extent, the local chapter will shortly begin it's third training course for volunteers, Miss Olive Walton, home service secretary of the home serv- ice division, stated today.
 Glasses are being held at the Chapter house, 1855 Grove street, each Tuesday from 10 a. m. to l2 noon and from p. m. to 3 D. m. volunteers wishing to register for classes may call either the Red Cross chapter house. l65 Grove street, or the Red Gross headquarters at 35 Field street.

Germans RiskedLiVes
 To Help ''Divers"

to the greatest trouble to keep Divers. I read one report of an elderly worker who had lost his chil- dren during an air raid and who kept a Diver, suffering from tuber- culosis, for months in his home, even paying doctor for him. When finally he was denounced he was able to arrange the escape of the youngster.
 The Diver movement was at first strictly defensive, but slowly be- came an offensive organization. First 1t had to organize itself. A so-called "Zentrale", Central Bu- reau, was created. This bureau collected money from Aryan helpers, many of whom consid- cred this an excellent investment for postwar years. Money was needed by the bureau to buy false identity papers. Main sources of supply were certain avid army officers, who would sell identity papers at 10000 marks each.
 All these transactions were more complicated than can be told. For instance, an officer who dealt in falsified papers was arrested. This meant that all identity papers de- livered by him were worthless or even dangerous and new ones must be found.
 Whenever Divers were given money they had to deliver 1t to the Central Ofiice. Some of them made money by working in indus trial plants. This sounds fantastic, but the truth is that the manpower shortage became so terrific in Ger many that owners and managers of factories gladly accepted anybody.
 Once organization was com- pleted, which took roughly until the end of 1943, the Divers immedi- ately started to do aggressive work. One of the most important tasks, of course, was liberating arrested con- rades. Through their own intelli- gence service, which evidently op- erated to perfecton, they always found out very soon where one or more caught comrades were kept. Then the acton of liberation began. BOUGHT FIREARMS
 At first helpers were asked to give money or jewelry. Thus the liberation committee was able to

and cities for 1944, the three Pacific states averaged $4,845 per family and New England $4,841.
 Hartford, Conn.,, was the only New England city in the list of the country's leading 10 cities, on the basis of per capita income. The coast placed seven cities, namely, Long Beach, San Francisco, Seattle, Sacramento, Pasadena, Spakane and Oakland, per capita incomes rang ing from Long Beach's $2,555 to $2,098 in Oakland.
 The Pacific coast states in 1944 earned a total of S17, ,808, ,335 ,000, or more than $1,000, 100000 above the total for the nine South Atlantic states. The coast group ranked third in total income, topped only by the Middle Atlantic states of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania and the five east north Central states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio an dWisconsin.
 A quality of market index of 131 was scored by the coast. New Eng land was second with 116 followed by: Middle Atlantic no; east north Central 107, Mountain 98; west north Central 95; south Atlantic 84; west south Central 82; and east south Central 66. California had the sharpest income gain of any state in the Union, more than $500, ,000, ,00o.
 In an exclusive estimate of re- tail food store sales, the magazine revealed that 132 cities, all with city zone populations of 100000 or more. accounted for 48 per cent of the nations civilian food bill with a total expenditure of $8,301 ,623 900.
 The same cities accounted for H.9 per cent of the general mer- chandise sales with an expendi- ture of $7,076, ,944 ,000; 26.5 per cent of lumber, building and hardware sales with a dollar volume of $947,-

bribe guards or to buy firearms. Usually 4S hours after location of the arrested comrade was dis covered, final action was under taken.
 But this was only part of the great activity of the Divers in 1914 and 1945. Soon they con- tacted anti-Hitler and resistance groups. They helped several Communist groups to edit and print illegal pamphlets and posters. They also took it upon themselves to commit 8 number of small time sabotage acts, such as giving false fire alarms, cutting telegraph wires smashing public telephones, spread ing defeatist rumors, etc.
 It Is impossible to say how many Overs became victims of the all- out air raids on Germany during the final stages of the war. Since they couldn't enter shelters, their losses probably were high. But those who died knowing that Nazi doom was imminent died happily.

 Somewhere in Germany, May Is. The Divers, group of Jewish youngsters who organized an under ground movement to escape the Gestapo. couldn't have survived ex- cept for the aid of Aryan helpers. There were workers, walters, chauf- feurs and especially women, who were moved by the horrible fate of these youngsters and their heroism and came to their aid in spite of utmost risk.
 They warned the Divers against betrayers. Many decided to hide the Divers and feed them. Not always did these helpers have humane motives. Some simply acted from opposition against Nazism in general. Others acted in order to create an alibi for themselves later.
 Soon the Divers had a large collection of addresses of "de- pendable" helpers. These help CTS furnished ration points resu- larly. Some fed one or more Divers once weekly in their homes. A few gave free lodging, but some demanded money-be tween one and 100 marks for the night.
 START CENTRAL BUREAU
 The Divers couldn't go to their lodging places before midnight. Us- ually they had to sleep on the floor. Since the entire family almost never knew of the arrangement, the Divers had to leave before the others got up, around five in the morning.
