GI FROM 5ITkA, CpL.W.A.DANGEL,
 BACK IN MIAMI

MIAMI, t1a., Among hundreds of jubilant GIs scrambling off big ATC transport planes at Miami Ar my Air Field to celebrate their home ecming from overseas were four who 2 were a bit dubious about it all.
 Cpl. Walter A. Dangel, who spent 38 months in Europe with a field artillery battalion, was having pretty hard time figuring out how lAueh closer home he really was in Miami, Florida, than when he left Germany. Home to Cpl Dangel is Sitka, Alaska.
 Cpl Richard A. Racanello, another field artillery veteran of 27 months overseas, was wrestling with the same thought. He finally hit happily on the old saying about the longest way round is the quickest way home or however it gees, as the answer to trip from Germany, down to Africa, then another 7,300 miles from Casablanca down the coast of the dark continent, a trans Atlantic flight to Brazil, then a flight back northward on this side of the ocean, through the Caribbean islands and into Miami-with only a few thousand more miles ahead of him to get to 209 Salter St, New Westminster, British Columbia, Can ada.
 It wasn't home, or even native soil, to Pfc. Edward M. Serrano who wound up 3l months service with the 4th Infantry Division in Germany But he still felt that he had the edge on the other three-he at least was on the general way home, even if it still was thousands of miles away in Matamores, Mexico.
 But Pfc. Charles E. Birch just couldn't figure it out at all, at all A member of the 2nd Troop Carrier Squadron in the India Burma thea tre for the last Is months, the trip 'ssto Miami looked like anything else : but a homecoming" from his view of the map. His home is Lancashire, England
 But, even as they scratched their heads bit, the four smiled happily. Miami was still more like home than any place they'd been in lcng time.

WASHINGTON, July 19 This government is willing to consider trading its overseas war surpluses for foreign rights and concessions" which would foster postwar world trade and amicable relations.
 Thomas B. McCabe, Army-Navy Liquidation Commissioner. says such trades will be thoroughly consid- ered' in disposal of the vast array of surplus war goods remaining in countries which might find it diff ficult to obtain American dollars for outright cash deals.
 McCabe's report was the first de- claration of policy on surpluses left behind by the expeditionary forces. Eventually. he said, these will em- brace "all the 100000 items it takes to fight war-enough to fill 50 mail order catalogues"

Judgment For Engineer
 Court Comments on PIons Prepored

Joseph Roberts of Waterbury won a $77 Judgment in Common Pleas Court today for work in drawing up specifications for house, but Judge Walter M. Pickett in his memorandum commented the work was of no value to the buyer.
 Roberts, a consulting engineer, sought $400 damage from Frank Daniels and his wife, Rose, both of Waterbury, claiming they owed hin for his work in drawing up plans for a home.
 Judge Pickett who heard the case erlier this week, found issues for Mrs. Daniels. but ruled that Dan- tels did employ Roberts for limit ed amount of service.
 The memof'andun states that Roberts is entitled to 3s and l-2 hours pay, or the sum of SIT.
 The jurist pointed out, however, that the plans offered by Roberts actually called for a house that would cost several thousand dollars more than the type Daniels wanted. They were of no value to Daniels, he stated.
 Judge Pickett commented further that Roberts was a registered en- gineer and not a registered arch- 1tect, but that Daniels had been led to believe Roberts was an are chitect.

COP Honors WorVeterons William Sirieo,
 G. o. P. Candidate,
 Poys Tribute

The Republican party proved lts sincerity in aiding returning ser. vicemen by placing two veterans or its tickets, but Democratic poll. ticians have simply forgotten re- turning military men, William A Sirica, COP candidate for city clerk, charged in a radio talk last night.
 The COP nominee. a veteran of World War II, asserted that a Re- publican vote on November 6 is in part vote of thanks for what the party has already done for the returning veteran.
 Pointing out that the Democratic party failed to nominate a Service- man or woman for any office, he said:
 Tt has renominated all previous office holders, most of whom have held office since l940," he said. Not one office holder stepped aside to make room for a return ing veteran. The Democratic ma- chine had to be kept intact"
 The veteran said that one irn- portant question in the municipal election Is "What have the major political parties of the City of Wa terbury done for the boys that came back and what are they go- ing to do for the ones that are coming back in the near future?"
 What has happened to all those flowery going away speeches, that were made by Democratic politi- clans about nothing being too good for the boys when they come back?" Mir. Sirica inquired. "The Democrat party has forgotten them but the Republican party did not forget and is giving the service- man his just dues"
 He said thath the serviceman and woman can only expect similar treatment at the hands of the Democratic party in appointive positions If the present administra- ton is returned to office.
 Former State Sen, Francis j.. Summa who introduced Mir. sirica gave Q brief biography of the re- turned soldier, who spent 30 months in the European Theater of Opera tons and earned six battle stars.

 Washington, Oct. 26--Let us con- sider today the sorry condition of the bureau of Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio.
 They're frayed at the collar and wearing out at the cuffs; splitting across the shoulder and getting ragged at the tail. Aren't much good for anything except waxing his coupe. Hes wearing 'em, of course (even as you and D, but he's in Q better spot than most to track down the shirt shortage to It's pre-shrunx lair.
 And I will bet" he said, pointing long finger at Price Administrator Chester Bowles, that l can't go to any store in Washington and buy a white shirt like this one I've got on"
 Position May Help
 That crack hurt. It must have Bowles' own shirt looked like a wrapper peeled from a cheddar cheese. He referred the shlrtless senator to his assistant, Gerald Ney, an eX-shirt dealer from Texas, who said in passing that he hoped event. ually to go back to his storekeeping
 The portly Ney, whose shirt seemed to be of good quality and in reasonably good state of repair, took long look at the shirt of Senator Taft and q quote him eX. actly) said:
 q must agree with you. Senator, Unless you shopped around all over and unless they knew you were a Senator, If they knew you were Q Senator, you probably would get Q shirt
 "H-m-rl -m-n, hem -iil--ril -m" Sen. Taft, who'd rather wear barrel than take advantage of his position to get himself a shirt. Senator Taft, who doesn't like the oPA or any of It's works. led 0 Banking and Currency Committee quiz of Bowles. This took In everything from pianos to knit wristlets. muslin sheets and brooms. It also produced some in- suits deluxe.
 Knltter Not Netting
 Taft quoted a knitting man who said he'd have to quit because he was losing money under OPA prices. Bowles said he wanted the knitters name
 You'd say that was threat he was making and you'd go after him." Senator Taft said. T don't care to give you his name"
 Bowles said he resented that one; Senator Taft said that anybody who did business was Q crook in OPA's opinion until he proved otherwise. Bowles said that was not true.
 Senator Taft read charges that the OPA was prosecuting the coal dealers of Columbus, Ohio, who wrote that they understood this was on orders of Washington Because Chester Is going before Congress to ask for money and we've got to make a showing" Taft quoted the coal men, who, in turn, were quot ing on unnamed OPA official.
 If any of our people said that, they ought to be fred Bowles said.
 Ultimate Consumer Wins
 "They certainly should" Taft agreed. Senator Bourke B. Hicken- looper of Iowa mentioned c similar charge and Bowles snapped: oh, that's crazy" And so on until it

Civic cTheoter Reveals Young Stars 7 Miss GreenbIoft,
 Miss SherweII A Oufsfondino
Outstandina

0orae1y Jeane Greenblatt, a n1ena- Der of the WATR announcing staff, proved her versatility as thespian last evening at the Women's Club by stealing the thunder in the Civic Theaters initial offering of the sea- son, Hagar Wilde's and Dale Eun- sons psycho-dramatic thriller, Guest in the House.
 Her role, that a fiery and dynamic artists model, called for excellent elocution, Tnannerisms and timeli- ness, and the enviable execution of such scored an indelible impression on the minds of the small crowd who gave out with well ell-deserved plaudits at the final curtain.
 Sharing the spotlight with her was Yvon1e Sherwell, very aptly por- traying the energetic but difficult role of a wicked young psychopath with flair for breaking up happy homes, and Gene Stettbacher. an elderly aunt whose samaritan poli- cies were waster time and time again in trying to prevent domestic clashes.
 Carol Ann Bergin, youngster making her debut beyond the foot lights, left little to be desired in her juvenile portrayal of a well behaved community junior miss. Betti T. Doyle, always dependable, as is the veteran David Davies, teamed as .on-stage man and wife and certainly were most convincing.
 The play will be repeated in the same hall this evening under the able direction of Marian Hurlburt. The Damask Cheek by John Van Druten and Lloyd Morris will be of- Tered February 28 and March 1.

Catholics
 ProteStinq

Washington, Oct. 26-(UP)-The National Catholic Welfare Confer- ence today protested the State De- partment'S failure to include a Catholic educator in the US. del- egation to the coming United Na- tions Educational Conference in London.
 Tn a telegram to Secretary of State James F. ByrneS, Msgr. How ard J. Carroll, NCWC general sec- retary, said 1t Is difficult to es- timate what will be the reaction to this omission in foreign coun- tries where the educational system IS largely Catholic.
 "The implication in this country of such an omission" he added, "iS obviously that this large sector of private education has no place or at least no importance, as far as government circles are con- cerned, in Amerit1n democratic life"
 The State Department declined comment. It was known to feel however, that the Catholic viewpoint will be represented by two mem bers of the delegation--Sen. James r. Murray, D., Mont. and Pres George N. Shuster Of Hunter col- lege.
 Carroll told Byrnes that Catholic educators in this country had con- sistently supported the Idea of United Nations Educational Con- ference. Yet, he added, their at- tempts to present their case for representation on the U. s. delega- ton through ordinary State De- partment channels have been ut- terly futile"
 He discounted the idea that Dr. Richard Pattee of the NCWC staff, q technician with the American delegation. represents Catholic education in this country.
 "Dr. Pattee Is not an educator" he said.
