The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-10-18
By EDWARD CLARK

United Press StaR COrrespOndent)
 Rome, Oct. 18-(UP)-The latest entrant on the turbulent Italian political scene is an independent middleclass organization whose sensational growth in the past few months is threatening the left-wing control of the country.
 The movement is snowballing so swiftly that its official newspaper, now the most widely-read in Italy with a circulation crowding the 1000, 900 mark, is being black marketed throughout the nation at more than -four times the newsstand price.
 Italian left-wing political leaders are openly concerned over the new movement, which so far has no of- ficial status or organization, out side it's official mouthpiece, the weekly "L'Uomo Qualunque" - meaning "the average man."

 Our first principle" he replied, "is to lay equal emphasis on the in- dustrialization of China and the agricultural development of China. Our second principle is to have a clear line of demarcation between government enterpris and private enterprise, and reserve for the gov- ernment only railroads, hydraulic power, iron works and telecommuni- cations. The rest is for private en- terprise.
 Our third principle is to welcome foreign investment. Foreign capital in China will be treated on an exact parity with Chinese capital

Jap overseer could make his rounds.
They set up the SO lathes, but the
Jap discovered that 88 of them
would not work. Vital parts of the
machines had been removed by the
Allied enlisted men and buried in
the cement which covered the
buried lathe.
Tokyo sent war production
specialist to the factory and for a
time it appeared that things would
go very hard for an American
technician named Savoie, foreman
of the crew concerned But Savoie
blandly misanswered all questions
flung at him.
This is the worst piece of sabo-
tage have ever seen in Japan!" the
expert shouted as he stomped off
1T was tribute to Savoie and his
brave men.
Steal Electric Motors.
Our soldiers at the factory. taking
everything that was not riveted Sc
curely. stole electric motors, ex-
pensive parts and metals. When
Jap guards were not looking they
would toss this material over the
factory wall at prearranged spot;
the stuff would be picked up by a
waiting Chinese, then taken to
the Mukden black market and sold
Our men and the Chinese who
worked with them split the profits
$3.50, and with this money our men
purchased tobac eco. occasionally
some food, and enough clothing to
keep from freezing to death.
The Japs made the grave mistake
one day of ordering group of our
soldiers to unload a carload of
sausage and dried meat for the fac
tory commiSsary, and then assigned
too few guards to supervise the I'M
loading. Our boys must have got
away with good half of that car
load, right then and there, sticking
the sausage in pockets, shirts and
down their tied pants legs. Later
one of the boys picked the lock of
the warehouse and the Japs lost
much of what they had been able to
save in the first place The meat
had to be hidden and furtively eat
en- at the factory, and the boys ate
it until it ran out their ears.
The Japs began searching the
enlisted men upon their return each
evening to the prison camp, and for
time it appeared that the holiday
was over They had to come
through the only entrance to the
camp Because an eight-foot wall,
with electric wire on it's top, pre-
cluded any other means of getting
back in.
Hide Food in Barracks.
But one clever soldier devised a
false bottom for the large food
buckets which were carted from the
camp to the factory each morning
and returned empty each night
Traffic in small stores such as to-
bacco and small-packaged food
picked up briskly-to the joy and
gratitude of our officers who, be-
cause they refused to work in the
factory, were being punished by the
usual starvation method.
The officers began buying any,
thing edible or smokable brought to
them by the enlisted men. 1t was

Transit Company
And Union Resume
Wage Negotiations

Wage negotiations between the
Capital Transit Co. and Local 68e
of the Amalgamated Association OF
Street, Electric Railway and Motor
Coach Employees tAFL) were re-
sumed at 10 am. today at the Ward
man Park Hotel, with representa-
tives of the Labor Department S
Cancellation Service sitting in.
The conference recessed Friday
after the company furnished finan-
cial data for the consideration OF
union officials. The union was given
until today to study the material.
Reports issued by the conference
last week indicated the sessions
were proceeding harmoniously. Un-
less an agreement is reached by No.
vember 81, transit workers may en-
gage in another walkout like the one
that tied up service in the Capital
for two days last week.
The union is asking a wage in
crease of 80 cents an hour for oper-
ators and maintenance employees
The company has countered with
an offer to incorporate into the
basic wage scale a 7-cent wartime
bonus and has given assurances
that overtime would be continued at
least until the current contract ex-
pires on June 80.
The transit workers are estimated
to have lost about $4,000 as a re-
suit of the walkout. Tomorrow
however, they will receive s135 ,00C
in back pay. awarded by an arbitra-
ton board last August.
Meanwhile, the company continued
to refund 25 cents for each of last
weeks passes turned in when pur-
chasing new weekly pass, or when
presented at a company Office. More
than $4,000 was being paid out in
refunds, but some of this was made
up for cash fares collected and
tokens sold after nearly 10000 pas
sengers turned in their passes last
Tuesday and Wednesday for a 81
refund.

Milk Deliveries Cut
10 10 15Pct. as 0PA
Studies Situation

Milk deliveries in the Washington
area were being cut from 10 to Is
per cent today as OPA officials met
viate the growing shortage here.
Producers have asked OPA to per-
NIT them to pay $685. a hundred
weight for milk from Ohio and In
diana instead of the present ceiling
price of S286. This would enable
them, they contend, to bring in an
additional 10000 gallons a day The
shortage is running about 10000 GAL
Ions daily.
Hotels and restaurants have been
the first to feel rationing measures
imposed by local dairies to spread
the milk supply.
Shortage Reaching Home.
THE shortage is reaching out into
the homes now,"a said Bruce B. Der
rick, manager Of the Maryland and
Virginia Milk Producers Association
Mr.. Derrick said homes with chill
dren will be the last to feel the
shortage.
Drivers. are being instructed to
use their heads about distributing
the milk" Mr. Derrick said. Where
there are children they will continue
to deliver the full order as long as
possible But adults are already be-
ing cut
Diaries Tapping Reserves.
Mr.. Derrick said unless OPA pro-
vides some relief, the situation will
become steadily worse. Diaries have
reported they are tapping their re-
serve supplies and these are nearly
gone. BY the end of this week, it
was reported, rationing of milk will
be widespread unless new supply
is permitted in the area.
The dairies have told OPA that II
they are permitted to pay the higher
price for milk from Indiana and
Ohio, they will absorb the added
cost themselves, so that the retail
price of milk would not be raised.
OPA officials, however, said they
doubted whether a higher price
would add materially to the local
milk supply.
Unless milk is imported. pro-
ducers believe the shortage may run
into next year. Within a short
time, dairy by-products, including
cream, buttermilk and cottage
cheese, will be off the market en-
tirely.
The unbalanced situation arose,
producers say, when demand rose
from 10 to Is per cent above normal
while the supply dropped per cent.

Improvement Asked
In Refuse Collection
In Montgomery

Improvement in the regularity
efficiency and economy of the refuse
collection service in the suburban
sanitary district was requested of
the Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission last night by the Mont
gomery County Civic Federation.
The federation failed to support a
resolution of the East Bethesda
Citizens Association condemning
the commission for its poor war
time service.
This action was taken following
a report by Allan B. Fay, chairman
of the Sanitation and Public Health
Committee, on resolution intro
duced in the federation last month
by Gearhard j. Isaac of the East
Bethesda group.
Mr.. Isaacs resolution claimed
that the collection has been made
quate, inefficient and costly, that re-
peated promises of improvement
have been broken and that serious
potential health hazard is created
by accumulation of garbage between
irregular and uncertain collections.
Difficulties Cited.
The resolution also asked that the
commission insure adequate service
or acknowledge it's inability to do
so in order to permit some other
agency to take over this function.
The investigating committee
found that, while service has been
unsatisfactory, it is their belief the
commission is making a sincere ef-
fort in the face of difficulty to
render acceptable service. The COM
mittee concluded that "the refuse
collection interests. of the. house
holders of the sanitary district are
being, and will continue to be, bet
ter served by the commission than
by any other agency"
Other Resolutions Offered.
Two new resolutions were referred
to committees for action at the next
meeting. One called on the fedora
ton for help in obtaining the use
of the Bethesda Volunteer Fire De-
partment Building to house the Be-
thesda- Chevy Chase First Aid Corps
ambulance. Another requested the
Board of County Commissioners to
enact an ordinance to require the
owners of vacant lots to remove
weeds or brush more than 4 inches
high.
A resolution introduced last
month by the Chevy Chase Gardens
Citizens Association asking the
Board of Education to allow chill
dren to play on the grounds of the
Somerset School after school hours,
was not upheld by the school COM
mittee.
