OF course this authorized state

 resulting from the current deferred maintenance will be met. At present the capital reserve of the city fo'' future expenditures amounts to approximately $4O0,000.
 Makeup of the water surplus fund as shown by MT. Maloney's report is derived from budget balance of $59,199 plus the prio' years surplus of $200722 for the total of $259,922. This surplus is to be apportioned as follows: $170,417 for use in bond redemption and interest; $54,098 for financing the current budget and $35 ,406 to be made available for financing future budgets.
 Relative to bond and interest re- demption on water bonds alone the. city must meet commitments in total amount of $467,015 comprised of $226, GOO in bond redemption and $241 ,O15 interest applicable to same.
 Best revealing the inability of the city to conform with normal main tenance needs plus an indication of the high level of tax collections is the surplus of $297,591 shown as the favorable balance from 1944 budget operations alone. During last year a total of $6,488,918 was realized as revenue by the city while concurrently $6,19l 1926 was paid out in expenditures made up of oper- ational running costs and general functional expenditures.

1 Both armies also were sweeping up vast quantities of arms, ammu- nitions and supplies abandoned by the fleeing Nazis, and at one point near St. Wendell the Third Army overran Nazi prison camp, liber- ating 300 Russians, Poles and Frenchmen.
 Adding to the slaughter of the | two German armies the First and Seventh was the terrific toll taken by the fighter-bombers of the American First and Ninth Tactical Air Forces.

 Returning pilots said the roads east from Kaiserlautern to the Rhine were filtered with thousands of bodies and the burning wreckagc of German transport.
 One high-ranking German officer, captured by Patton's tank crews, said the crushing American victory had ended all hope for German stand fast of the Rhine.
 The end of the war is now only a matter of days or weeks, he said He added that Germany was now wide open" for an attack across the Rhine by the eight Allied armies controlling virtually all of the rivers west bank along stretch O. more than 400 miles from the Swiss border to the North Sea.

 Overrun in the advance were Podejurh, four miles southwest of Altdamm, and Finkenwald, site of Stettin airfleld mile and half southwest of Altdamm.
 The Germans fought for every block in Altdamm and thousands were slain, the Soviet high com- mand announced.
 Far to the northeast, the Third White Russian Army under Marshal Alexander M. Vassilevsky, Red Army chief of staff, trimmed the German pocket southwest of Koen- igsburg to 50 square miles and cap- tured Braunsberg, its principal stronghold.
 Some 11,000 Germans were killed or captured in the pocket yesterday The pocket was nowhere wider than four miles and centered around Heihgenbeil, seven miles northeast of Braunsberg.
 Stalin's order of the day on the capture of Braunsberg revealed that Vassilevsky had taken over the command of Gen. Ivan D. Cherni- akhovsky, who was killed in action last month.

by the states attorney before the trial court that the defendant was without funds. the only apparent reason for denying the motion, un- less because 1t was not in proper form. is that in the opinion of the trial court there had been no material error committed at the trial"
 The memorandum continues, "In the ordinary criminal case, a trial court might well be justified in not placing upon the state the cost of an appeal by a defendant in a criminal case where it was appar- ent that there was no substantial ground upon which 1t could rest, although when thus called upon to review Its own conduct of a trial, aC should reach such a conclusion only after candid and careful con- alteration; and the severity of the punishment might be a material consideration in reaching the de- cision." It Is at this point that the supreme court justices state the zukauskas case is a unique one since, 1t involves the death penalty.
 The high court states it is with out power to except anyone from paying fees in connection with ap- pellate proceedings, but adds that "the public defender is entitled to have taxed and paid to him his nec- essary expenses, and where he an- ticipates that the defense of an &C., cused whom he represents will re- quire that he shall incur expense. 70 seek from the court approval of that action in advance"
 Continuing, it states, accord ingiy whenever public defender proposes to appeal from a judgment or conviction, it is sound practice for him to seek approval in advance of mourning of expense for that purpose"
 Public Defender Carmody was scheduled to return to Waterbury today after an absence of more than week, and it is believed a new motion will be drawn up at once for presentation before Judge Frank AsANGFOJ1 cuOSC OOLlI1 n. hlnB {. and Judge Howard Alcorn.
 Attorney w. w. Gager, who as- sisted as defense attorney during the. trial, is continuing to serve in the proceedings, although court approval will again be sought for retaining him for the appeal pro- ceedings.
 ZIlkauskas meanwhile is confined to the Wethersf1eld State prison. where he is scheduled to die in less than a month, on April 20. The appeal proceedings, however, will serve as a stay of execution of the death penalty.
 The former supernumerary po- liceman was sentenced Feb. 8 for the slaying of Mrs. Stephanie Plum gis on Nov. l. Arguments on the motion, on which todays supreme court decision is based, were pre- sented in Hartford, March 6.
