Washington, Feb. 23--(UP)-That confab at Yalta was "the Crimea conference" as far as Jonathan w. Daniels of the White House is con- cerned.
 If anybody wants to get lavish, toss in another "N", and call it The Crimean Conference" that's his privilege.
 But the heading on the commun- ique from Yalta last week said "Crimea." and that's good enough for Daniels, administrative assistant to President Roosevelt and also act- ing White House Press Secretary. The question arose because Pres ident Roosevelt. Premier Josef Sta lin, and Prime Minister Winston Churchill didn't seem to have made up their minds.
 They said "C-imea" in the head ing on their commupique, but in the text they said "Crimean" Daniels attitude was that if there was a slip, it probably was in the text.
 Daniels thought "Crimea" would be better grammar than "Crimean." But he fell on his face there, meta phorically speaking. The grammar experts said one was just as good grammatically as the other. Five Washington English author ities divided two for "Crimea' and two for "Crimean" with one seem- | ing to express preference for both,

 The 362n6's third battalion, fight ing alone and out of communication with division and regiment, was one of the Fifth Army units that took Futa Pass, a feat that won the bat talion a division citation.
 The regimen was activated at Camp White, Oregon, August IS, 1942 with a cadre from the lst Cav airy Division. The men trained in- tensively for month at their first overseas station, Gran, Algeria, and joined the Fifth Army in Italy with other regiments of the 91st during last June.
 The 362nd first went into action near Casaglia July 12 and effectively spearheaded Fifth Army'S rapid ad- vance to the Arno river.

Serving With 362nd Regi- ment in Italian Sector;
 Crack Defense

With The Fifth Army, Italy.--Pvt. Anthony M. Pavio, 97 Seymour street and Pvt. Rollin T. Mitchell, 87 Phoenix avenue, riflemen, are fight ing in Italy'S Apennines before the Pc Valley with the 362nd. Infantry Regiment, which broke through the Gothic line in one of the highest ana best defended sectors. The 362nd is part of the Dist. Power River Division with the Fifth Army. His regiment broke across the Sieve river in the strongly defended line and attained the top of Mount Calvi, 2225-foot-high mountain in which the Germans had emplaced artil- lery in tunnels running 50 feet un- derground in rock.
 At the entrance of one of these there had been seven enemy guns emplaced. The outfit captured 400 Germans and killed and wounded many others within Il days during this part of the drive.

any as that may sound. Al a mat ter of fact, they all said it would be no grammatical crime to use either.
 Dr. Susan E. Harman. acting head of the English department at the University of Maryland, said she would say "Crimean." Then she confounded the confusion by adding:
 However, we do use the noun as a proper adjective. Tn fact, we usually do that. If you want to be perfectly safe. keep the noun form"
 That would make it the "Crimea" conference.
 Bernard M. Wagner, head of the English Department at Georgetown University, said the adjectival form really should be used, but the other is not incorrect
 He admitted, however, that # the conference had been held in London, you wouldn't say London ian" Or Parisian if 1t had been in Paris. It seems there's no absolute rule. according to Wagner. It's a matter of usage. He just happens to prefer "Crimean"
 Thinking about the United Na- tions conference to be held in San Francisco next April 25 is what really convinced Daniels that final Ms" are not essential in such mat ters.
 You can bet" he said, that they won't call it the San Francis can conference.
 P. s. We'll call it The Crimea Conference" No final IN"

 Brigedier General San H. Wad- hams, retired, veteran of World war I, past Department Commissioner Anson T. McCook, police commis- sioner of Hartford and State Com- mander Herbert L. Emanuelson of New Haven, conducted the survey for the Legion. General Wadhams served as chief medical officer on General PerShing's staff. The sur- vey in Connecticut was part of a nation wide investigation instigated following recent magazine and newspaper articles that charged the Veterans Administration with "in- competence and neglect"
 Patients Seem Contented
 The committees report read in part: The patients at Newington appear contented and the personnel generally alert which is perhaps the best test. We consider that the hos pital compares favorably with local hospitals and we consider that the local selection of nurses and per- sonnel, as permitted during the war emergency, has resulted in an un- usually competent body of nurses. This and the generally satisfactory condition of the hospital reflect credit upon the manager. the chief medical officer and the head nurse. It also speaks well for the kindli- ness and attention to duty of the employees generally and of many volunteers, and off the cooperative spirit of the patients themselves. We are chiefly disturbed by the lag in providing facilities for the great load which undoubtedly impends.
 The committee. reporting on com plaints of veterans, said, The hos pital appears to have very good general reputation and only two specific complaints have come to our attention. The first, complain ing that indifference was shown in an examination by junior mem- Der of the staff, appears to have been subStantiated but was acted upon immediately by the hospital, while the second, an alleged failure to admit a patient who later de- veloped an access, appears to be greately exaggerated although sub- stantiated We believe that justi- fable complaints are few
 Increased Facilities Needed
 The report emphasized the need for increased facilities at Newing- ton. Commander Emanuelson, spokesman for the committee, said: Plans lying on someone's desk in Washington will not give the vet erans of Conencticut increased and better care, both of which are inn mediately needed am directing letter to General Omar Bradley. new head of the Veterans Administra- tion, asking him to give the Con- necticut situation his early atten- tion and consideration.
 Urging that no time be lost in increasing the Hospitals facilities, the report said, Additional general medical and surgical beds to bring the total to normal accommodations for at least 800 are urgently need ed. We anticipate that still an- other 200 or 300 beds may be re- quired within year"

If you see what appears to be an abnormal-siz snake slitherlng across some of the streets of Water bury, either check your package store dealer or just relax and re- member that you read in The Dem- ocrat whereby city authorities are using traffic counting meters. These meters have long pneumatic tubes attached to them which are laid across the roadway so that when vehicle runs over the tube it causes the air pressure to record on the counting machine.
 Theodore Scott-Smith city plan ming engineer revealed that the machines, which are "on-loan' from the State Highway Department, are to be used to determine the flow of traffic on the city's secondary arteries. The purpose is to deter mine a plan whereby city motorists can re-route through streets, other than these same treets, to reach other sections of the town.
 Among the main streets in the
