eral circunstance, that he just plain gave out"
 The defense adds that Zukauskas gave the subsequent statement to the coroner under those conditions and that had it not been for his confinement and his worn out con- dition brought about by his Geten- tlon with all the surrounding fac tors, he would not have answered the questions propounded to him by the coroner"
 Error also is found in the trial courts admission of testimony of Coroner Stephen A. Homick and County Detective Thomas F. Laden over objections of the defense.
 Issue also is taken over a state ment in the judges finding that they unanimously found Zukauskas guilty of first degree murder, apart from admission of his confession, whether while he was legally or il- legally detained. In that state ment the judges indicated testi- mony given by Zukauskas was at least in part responsible for his conviction.
 Numerous objections are raised to portions Of paragraphs included in the finding Among them is one on the judges ruling pertaining to the desire of Mrs. PlLngis to collect money owed her by zukauskas. The defense claims the court erred in fiJIi1on thot sty1yIojln cused's apartment the deceased told Edna zukauskas, wife of the ac- cused that she had come there for the purpose of collecting the money which the accused owed her, to which the accused assented'
 Error also is alleged on the judg- es' finding that no one was in the cell block or disturbed the accused on the nights of Nov. or 3, ex- cept as set forth in the finding. Among other denials by the defense is that Mrs. Plungis sustained head wounds which bled profusely dur ing the first incident Nov. l on Alder street.
 ZukauskaS was sentenced to death Feb. 8, following a finding of guilt on the first degree murder charge by Judges Frank P. McEvoy John H. King, and Howard Alcorn. The execution of the penalty, set for April 20, was stayed by the ap- peal. Mrs. Plungis was killed Nov. l, and her body was found Nov. 4 in a shallow grave in Middlebury woods.

then signed off. Earlier, reliable sources had circulated report that the surrender of Norway almost certainly would be announced to- day.
 Capitulation of the German gar- rison in Norway knocked out mountain locked citadel from which the Nazis had been expected to make their final stand. It would have meant one more in the Allied list of sea-borne or air-borne m- vaSionS.
 With Norway gone, all sources agreed that the surrender of re- maining German forces in Europe in Czechoslovakia, Eastern Aus tria, Yugoslavia, the French Allan tic ports and the channel islands would not be long delayed.
 Other developments in what may turn out to be the last hours or the European War included:

 The conference still is awaiting Russias decision on two major amendments sponsored by the other members of the Big Four. They would CD exempt from supervision of the world organization bilateral treaties, such as the one between Russia and France, when directed against former enemy nations, and (2) would broaden the authority of the assembly to recommend adjust ments of situations in the future that might lead to war. The latter, by implication, would include rec concentrations for revision of treat ies.
 Molotov agreed in principle to the American British Chinese amendments on those subjects but asked for a day or so to think about them before giving them the Rus sian blessing. Even if it is not forthcoming. Russia is not expected to oppose them.
 But opposition on the bilateral treaty arrangement may come rom another source and one more em- barrasSing to the United States Latin America. Some of the latin countries had hoped the new Inter- American Security System would be exempted from the veto power of the World Security Council.
 The Interamerican System was set up by the Act of Chapultepec" at Mexico City early this year and pledges all of the Americas to use force, if necessary, against any ag- gressor after the required consul tationS
 If present plans for a world or ganization prevail, the use of en- forecement action by any regional organization would require the .ap- proval of the Security Council.
 The conference itself is expected to strike more Work-a-day level this week. There still is no word when Molotov expects to leave for Moscow. With the Polish issue ap- parently out of his hands and on the Stalin-C Churchill Truman level, it need not delay his departure.

dead if they can't even find any,
thing to write an editorial about;
moreover, the subject matter of
this editorial increased my pleas
ure and interest.
can truly realize what issues
the editor had in mind when he
wrote that editorial, and 1 might
venture to say that it is a shame
that you were not able to write
those words sooner. These Smyr-
ma Business Men who have met to
discuss the problems of the Post
War Smyrna are to be congratu-
lated for realizing that Smyrna
will have a problem in keeping
abreast of the times after the
War; however, it is lamentable
that many of the people in Smyr-
ma fail to realize to a great extent,
the meaning of the editorial.
No, it is not probable that the
returning Service Men will ask
such a question as, ''In return for
this, what have you folks at home
been doing while we've been
away?", but it is very probable
that they will just shrug their
shoulders and find some other place
to live and to work. The Amer
lean Boys aren't given to being
Heroic" and dependable, but
they want happy HOME and
prosperous community to return to
after they have been away for so
long. If Smyrna does not fit int
their scheme of life, they will not
blame it on their folks who have
been busy at home, nor will they
blame the town officials if the rec
reation facilities are nil, but they
will be likely to consider those long
days away from HOME as wasted
if they know that the folks at
HOME have not provided for their
future. In short, they would like
to be able to make Smyrna 'The
best little spot on this earth" after
they have been back from the War
a few years; they will not be able
to do this if the proper steps are
not taken now.
Smyrna is in need of new build
ings and homes for the returning
Service Men who expect to settle
down after the Fight. From all
reports, Smyrna is in definite need
of some places of recreation and
relaxation for the townsfolks-
young and old alike. 1t is very
probable that Smyrna could afford
Smyrna times., 1945-02-15

to erect some sort of Public Mem
orial in the form of a park, amuse-
ment center, gymnasium, or even
the pride of Smyrna = the lake
playground, in honor of the man
who served and died. Numerous
towns have set up Veterans advis-
DRY boards for the returning Ser
vice Men; others have conducted
job surveys in order to find out
just how many of the returning
men could, and would, be given
employment; still other commun-
tiles are now making plans to pro-
vide the returning men with jobs
by creating new business opportun-
tiles and industries. Smyrna should
be no exception: accordingly if the
group of Smyrna business men
who prompted that meeting of
which you spoke will realize that
they do have a hard job ahead of
them, they should be successful in
making Smyrna a better place to
live and keeping the Service Men
from losing their love for their old
HOME.

The Smyrna Times
Smyrna, Delaware
Dear Sirs:
It was with great pleasure that
I noted in the last issue of the
"Times" that you have returned to
the time-honored custom of writ
ing editorials in your publication.
Just last week, I remarked to my
self that I surely did miss those
weekly gleanings on the second
page of the paper, nevertheless, I
still enjoy the paper and find it to
be a permanent tie between my
life here and the old life at Smyr-
ma. The fact that you had return
ed to the policy of writing an edi-
torial was crafty, because I had
fallen under the impression that
the "Old Town" must really be
