It. G. g) Michael V. Gaultieri, MIG, USNR, Hamilton avenue, Wa terbury, Conn, serving aboard a de- stroyer in the Mediterranean, has learned that Friday the 18th is un- practicable. April B, 1945, began just like any other day, but before it was over It (j. g. Gualtieri had saved the life of an officer suffer- ing with spinal meningitis on an- other ship.
 When the task group commander received an urgent request from the captain of a Liberty ship nearby to send medical assistance for an Armed Guard officer, It. Gg) Gualtieri was transferred to the other vessel. Upon examination it was found that the officer probably was suffering from spinal meningi- tis, and the doctor returned to his destroyer with the patient.
 Employing a strict isolation tech- nique in a vacated compartment, It. Gg) Gualtieri performed necessary tests and instituted adequate treat ment within an hour. The following day the patient was evacuated to the British military hospital in the area and now he is recovering.
 It. Jg) Gualtieri, whose wife is the former Shirley Margaret Law son, 164 West Main street, Water bury, was graduated from Crosby High School, Waterbury, received his Bachelor of Science degree from Trinity College, Hartford, and won his degree as Doctor of Medicine from Tufts College Medical, Bos- ton.

Label Army
 AsArbitrorv

l Washington, Aug. 6. - (UP) - Members of the House and Senate Military Affairs Committees today charged that the Army itself was defeating it's request for compul- sory military training after the war
 Members pointed to a mounting friction between Congress and the War Department over:
 1-Heavy Army spending.
 2-Arny insistence on keeping a force of 100000 for the remainder of the war. Many Congressmen believe that is far too much.
 3-Charges that Army stockpiling oi food are partly responsible for the domestic shortage.
 4.-The Arny's refusal to release the demanded number of railroad CTS, coal miners and shipyard workers to meet war and home front needs.
 Three House Committee members ali proponents of peacetime train ing-said their hopes for such a program were fast facing. One said that the Arrny's relationships with Congress had sunk to their lowest level in history"
 If we have a universal military training program after the war it will be in spite of the Army and not because of it, he said.
 He also predicted that if there is peacetime training program it will be under civilian administra- tion and not under control of the Army.
 Public Mistrust
 Sen. Edwin c. Johnson, D., Colo, member of the Senate Military Af- tf.a2ii::g Committee, said the War De- partment's policies were causing growing mistrust" both among the public and in the service itself
 "The War Departments arbi- trary attitude about releasing eligi- ble men who are no longer needed, and it's apparent desire to hog everything in order to keep up its own establishment, are causing sharp decline in public sentiment for conscription, Johnson said.
 This is increased by the feeling within the service itself on the part Of many discontented men who have been given a terribly raw deal. They certainly aren't going to come cut with any great sympathy to- wards permanent military training '
 Johnson renewed his plea for a small, highly-trained. mobile Army coupled with the best possible scientific research organization.
 Postwar conscription, he said, is @ Maginot Line philosophy"
 Past Examples
 "The example of Germany and France is the best you could have" he said. Germany was restricted to 100000 men by the treaty of Yer sailles, so she concentrated prin- cipally on highly scientific, mech anized warfare. France paraded up and down behind the Maginot Line with the biggest army in Europe and when the time came Germany took her in six weeks"
 A member of the House Commit tee predicted that President Tru- man would not back War Depart ment demands for a straight mili- tary training program.
 He suggested a program that would begin with three months of basic military training, followed by six or seven months of educational work for which young men could get college credit, and closing with two or three months of military maneuvers.

KEEN INTEREST
 IN REFERENDUM
Edward M. Ryan Reports Progress in Placing Issue
 Before Public

Edward M. Ryan, leader in the movement to have the Waterbury Employees pension bill placed be- fore the voters of the city in the form of a referendum today dis closed that the plan is proceeding with speed and success and that the si gnatures of the voters are already pouring in.
 Said MT. Ryan, T have not heard of a single voter in the city refus- ing to sign the petition to have the pension system placed on the vot- ing machines so that they might deside if they do or do not want the present act adopted.
 Under Section 56 of the Special Acts of 1881, whenever Is per cent of the registered voters in the city sign a petition addressed to the Board of Aldermen, the board is compelled to place the question be- fore the voters by placing the ques- tion on the voting machines in the coming city elections. We have only three weeks in which to secure the required 7,500 signatures of our vot- CTS.
 Tt will be gigantic task to se- cure this large number of signatures but if every person interested in the welfare of our public servants. especially the members of the Fire and Police Departments will sign the petitions and get their friends to sign the petitions we can put the campaign over successfully and we will have the effective date of the pension bill postponed for ten years"
 The committee urges all those who are interested in this fight to ad- dress a card to post office box 662.

Fire $ View Criticized

London. May 15-(UP)-Ireland's $ attitude toward German diplomats remaining in Fire was criticised in parliament today and prompted one member of commons to inquire whether the Irish might not be har- boring Adolf Hitler.
 Conservatives and laborites joined in demanding firm British stand against the continued sheltering of ex-NaA government representatives in Fire.
 Laborite James D. Murray, re- ferring to Irish Premier Ramon De Valera and the German minister in Dublin, asked that a protest "of the strongest possible character" be directed 'at these particular peo- ple."
 Commander Oliver Locker-Lamp- son. conservative, raised the Hitler question, disdaining semi official re- ports indicating the Nazi fuehrer died in the ruins of his Berlin chan cellory.
 'Is there any truth in the sug- gestion that he is being harbored by MT. De Valera" he asked Prime Minister Churchill.
 The house roared with laughter and Churchill replied solemnly:
 T will have inquiries made on that"
 Another member demanded to know whether the notorious British renegade, Lord Flaw Flaw of Berlin radio fame, might also be in Fire. His question was ignored.
 Colonel Undersecretary P. V Emrys, who spoke for the govern ment through most of the session offered only non-committal answers to the volley of questions on Fire.
 He disclosed that the government of Fire had apologized for the breaking of windows in the United Kingdom representative office in Dublin on VIE Day, but declined comment on De Valera's action in calling at the German legation to express Fires sympathy over the reported death of Hitler.
