Iowa, Army Go 10 Front in Major Unbedten Bas-
 ketbaII Ranks
(By Associated Press)

Kentucky's basketball team, pre- viously regarded in some quarters as the leading collegiate quintet oi the Nation, was toppled from the unbeaten ranks over the weekend by Tennessee, 35-34, in a major upset.
 While the Vols were snapping Kentucky's 11-game streak, Notre Dame likewise was putting an end to Great Lakes 16-game run averaging previous setback they suffered at the hands of the Sailors, taking a 55-51 decision.
 With Kentucky out of the way, Iowa and Army surged to the top among the still-undefeated major clubs. Iowa has a streak of nine straight wins but barely beat Michigan, 29-27 in her last game. Army, unbeaten last year, has won four straight this year for an overall stretch of 20 in row.
 Cage Picture
 Sectionally, this is the cage pie ture in the East:
 Army and Navy are unbeaten, with four and three games won, respectively.
 St. Johns, of Brooklyn, and Temple are right up toward the top, too. In the Eastern Collegiate League, Penn and Cornell are tied for first place. ueoe r s0r .,
 In the Big Ten, Iowa is leading with 80 record, pressed by once beaten Ohio State and by Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin.
 Of Midwest independents, De- Paul, 45-41 victor over Hamlin, is best with 12-1 record. Great Lakes, Valparaiso, Notre Dame and Akron are near the top.
 Pacific Coast
 In the Pacific Coast Conference, Northern Division, Washington State whipped Oregon in an upset Friday but took a 64-43 shellacking Saturday. The split left Oregon, with five wins and two losses, in second place behind unbeaten Washington, twice champion. s,

No Apples for GI Joe

Although it would be somewhat less than strange if men and women in the Armed Forces give thought more or less frequently to such subjects as postwar bonuses, pensions anG other benefits, the typical CT appears to pe making his own realistic and practical plans for his civil ian future. If he is hoping and expect ing anything from the government in recognition of his war services, he still isn't stalking his future on something that just might happen. He appears 70 be determined to be sure of something, and through his own foresight and ef- forts. He is doing what he can-and it is considerable make certain that he will never stand on street corner selling apples. The Office of War Information IS authority for the report that 83 per cent more than $4 out of every $5-paid to soldiers in the European Theater of Operations is being sent home in the form of family allotments, insurance nremiumS, War Bonds and other saw nRs. Obviously, an enormous reservoir 5f savings has been and is being thus ac- cllmulated.
 What is CT Joe gong to do with his savings? The Army has been endeavor- inR to find out through a letter contest conducted by "Stars and Stripes," the Arrnv newspaper, and open to every sol dItr in ETC who has War Bond allot- 11ent in force or has bought a bonk since

No Room for Complacency

Perhaps it is not necessary to say. that complacency should not be added to re- joicing at the success of our mighty air blows against Japan For the destruc- tion of scores of Jap planes on the ground and the absence of Jap fighters from the sky did not mean that the enemy's air force is either destroyed or too fright. ened to fight.
 It is sensible to suspect that the Japs are hiding their planes and saving them for the day of our landing on their home islands. The fleet which recently stood off the Japanese islands was an enticing, though strongly protected, target for Ka- mikaze squadrons But it may be that the suicide flyers are being kept for at- tacks on transports as well as warships in the critical moment of invasion. The deliberate murder of ones own military personnel is repugnant to us. But to the Japs, with their contempt of human life, this murder of suicide pilots must seem smart move. And, humanity aside, it is To destroy as many as 800 of ones enemy, plus perhaps an enemy ship, at the cost of one of your own men is sound though ruthless strategy.
 The best apparent defense against the suicide planes is still the destruction of airfields and airplane factories. And we may expect to see it continued on an even fiercer scale before the dawn of D. Day over Japan.

May l. Since prizes include IS new ar- tomobiles, IS electric refrigerators and 20 cabinet radios, it is unnecessary to say that letters have poured in by the thous- ands. And, in the aggregate, they paint an inspiring and encouraging picture of the soldiers plans for himself when he returns to civilian life. Let's examine excerpts from few of them. "An edu- cation for my five children aud home for my wife" reads one. q am going to buy couple of acres on crystal, clear stream and put up an establishment of my own," says another And, from some of the other letters: Establish small flying school" .. "A chicken business" ... Study agriculture" Take re- fresher course under the CT Bill of Rights and go back to teaching" .. Attend business management school" .. "Es- tablish dude ranch" .. Provide for the daughter born the day landed over here" /. And, in great many letters: Buy home"
 So, while it is 600 much to expect that all soldiers will return to civilian life pre- pared to go lon their own," great many aren't going to have to ask anything of anyone They doubtless will strive for, and accept, whatever they may consider their due. But, come what may, they'll get along. If the day of the street corner apple should return, it isn't likely that the typical ex-GI Joe will be doing the selling. More likely he will do the buy ing

ed to work through the holiday was the anger of Senate Presi- dent Kenneth D. McKellar. The gentleman from Tennessee, who puts in long, hard hours at his office, recently appointed his chauffeur, Frank Ensley, Post master in the little town of New bert, Tenn, with Mrs. Ensley named Assistant Postmaster. The Ensleys, who passed Civil Service examinations for their jobs, get $500 and $1 200 respectively.
 McKellar's new chauffeur. , not used to coming to the Off, flee Building on holidays, pull ed up to the entrance closest to McKellar's office and the Sen- ator walked to the door, only to find it locked.
 He had to trudge back and around a corner for about 100 feet then up a long flight of stairs to the main entrance to the building.
 McKellar's experience, plus that of the other 20 Senators, was de- tailed in no uncertain terms to Dave Lynn. Capitol Architect. Result is that instead of having two doors open on Sundays and holidays-with two guards split ting duty at each door from 800 a. m. till midnight and two ele- vator operators doing likewise at each open entrance-all the en- frances must hereafter be open, with guards on duty. In addition, there must be a guard at the en- trance to the parking space in the building courtyard, two men in the guardroom, and elevator operators at each of the four cor ners of the building.
 It doesn't pay to take time oil on the Fourth of July.

No Time to Temporize

It Is inevitably source of satisfaction co Connecticut citizens, particularly to Democrats, to find our Senator Br1en McNahon voting against the amendment which would have postponed considera- tion by the Senate of the Breton Woods monetary agreement. Unfortunately, however, that satisfaction is tempered hy the realization that our Republican senator trailed along with his partys DbStructionists and voted with the mln- Drity.
 At a time when the Potsdam Confer prce of the Big Three Spotlights our ef- QortS in the direction of permanent inter- national peace and harmony, Senator Taft and his group who advocate post ponement of vote on this measure until November, leave themselves suspect Of placing party considerations above the welfare of the United States.
 With the appointment of President Thu man as the Conferences presiding offic- 4r. comes recognition of our real desire to cooperate in the interests of preserv- ing a cordial and effective relationship among the Big Three nations and among the smaller nations as well. StallnS ready acceptance of TrumanS selection, seems at pleasing variance with the Rus sian policy exemplified at San Francisco by that nations opposition to the selec- tion of Secretary of State Edward R. Stet- tinius as chairman of the meeting on the Pacific Coast.
 Opposition, particularly at this time, to measures or tactics designed to strength m the hand of President Truman at Pots dam constitutes the same sort of na- tonal disservice rendered so regrettably after the last war by the small and will sUl group which Henry Cabot Lodge headed.

USO in the Philippines

It is now planned to extend the United Service Organizations program to the Philippines The USO has made itself important at home and overseas.
 General Eisenhower recently stated: s'There is spiritual side to the soldiers life that is often starved. mean his op- portunities for recreation for feeling close to his home folks. One of the ways that that can be helped is through the enter tainment sponsored by the USO. It is something that deserves your sup port.
 These few words should remind that we should not let down on support of USO appeals because the war is partly won. There is more need for definite program for the soldiers than ever be- fore.
 The USO serving the armed forces in the Philippines is specially requested by General Douglas MacArthur also the director of the USO Overseas Depart ment. Eventually program will be launched in the islands, at Manila and wherever demanded.
 Lest you forget the USO overseas de- partment serves 3,0O0,0OO men and wo- men of the United States forces every month, and the director states, some of the clubs are visited by 25,000 day, from Alaska to Rio de Janeiro, and from New Foundland through Bermuda and the Caribbean to Panama and Hawaii USO carries on it's program"

 In one Massachusetts State Hos. pital a patient, committed for an acute depression and attempted sui eide, fully recovered in six month and the hospital authorities were willing to release him notifying hii wife to that effect. Having no blood relations, and his wife refus- ing to sign him out, he remained in that hospital (to him JAIL) FOR OVER SIX YEARS, entirely sans after the date upon which the authorities were willing to release him. During the six years he was held a prisoner, he proved himself an able worker, never had q re- lapse, abided by the institutions rules. worked every day and gavt general satisfaction.
 Isn't this carrying things a bis too far? Isn't it high time tha' these State Hospitals were HOS PETALS and not jails for the GUS tody of men and women whom sel. fish relatives or others may wan out of their way? Is it any won. der that there is so much prejudice against these places? The wonde, is that the prejudice isn't greate' than it is. The citizens of Americs have a right to enjoy life and hap. piness without the dread spectre oi being made virtual prisoners in some mental hospital once they are CURED and eligible for discharge. It is bad enough for person men, tally i'll and in need of treatment to have to go to a State Hospital but 1t is shameful crime against decency itself to disallow this pa- tient his or her freedom when 1t is proper to have it.
 Let each State decide forthwith to overhaul its mental hospitals. re- lease those who should be released to make room for real cases of in- sanity, pay attendants a decent wage SO drunks and buns will no longer get on the hospital payrolls. If ye have another depression the Lord only knows the type of care mental patients will receive. But in some instances it can't be any worse than it is today in many of our so-called State ~ Hospitals."

Most people recall that Poland fought valiantly until she was overrun by the enemy and then continued to fight underground. So did CzechosIovakia, Jugoslavia. Greece and Albania. They all felt the heel of the conqueror.
 But apparently the State De- partment doesn't recall this. Nor does it recall that Franco set up radio intelligence stations for Hitler, sent all sort of stra- tegic materials to Hitler, had the Spanish army trained by Hitler's agents, made all sorts of speeches praising the Nazi system and did everything pos sible to help Hitler win.
 Despite all this, the State De- partment instructed the Combined Food Board to send 60,000 tons of sugar to Franco and no sugar to our Allies who fought back against Hitler.

For on that morning, about % Senators, coming to their offices, were forced to take a little extra exercises by walk ing block to three blocks in order to find an entrance to the building that was open. They fin- ally found the main entrance open-with five guards sitting around enjoying the holiday which was not, for other Federal workers in Washington, holiday at all.

 The same thing can happen to- day. The hordes of Asia may not appear to be of much political con- quence just as present; but we can be pretty sure that unless they grow in power and dominate the life of Asia. we shall have to wage war against well-armed barbarians within few generations.

MANS INHUMANITY TO MAN IS NOWHERE so EVIDENT AS IN OUR STATE Hos- PITALS", SAYS NOTED
 PSYCHIATRIST

Everett, Mass.
 July 1s, 1945. Editor of The Democrat:
 MT. George E. Beyerl, of New town an authority in the field of administrative psychiatry, in a re- cent article in THE WATERBURY DEMOCRAT calls attention to the well known fact that some mental institutions are little better than Naz camps" adding the high death rate of some state hospitals seem like miniature edition of Naz labor camp. In one of these camps the Nads Doctor Schubbe destroyed over 100000 people, who claimed with cold scientific detachment were unworthy to live. It is diffi- cult to see what difference there is in such an attitude and the atti- tude of the average state hospital management of holding out, lack of medical care, lack of living space, lack of recreation, etc. Liter ally depriving people of the incen- tive to live"
 Truly written, MT. Beyerl. And let us note what no less an author ity than Dr. George s. Stevenson, Medical Director of the National Committee for Mental Hygiene, who said, in an address before the Sen- ate Subcommittee on Wartime Health and Education of the Com rnittee on Education and Labor, as reported in The Congressional Rec ord:
 Mans inhuznanity to man is nowhere so evident aS in our mem tai hospitals. Treatment facili- ties are deplorable and the stan. dard of care has seriously deteri- orated. Commitment processes and laws are very often i'll con- ceived and based. on moral and criminal interpretation of mental illness. All too frequently the public is content to delegate its conscience to public oificials in order that 1t may wash it's hands ef matters which it should make its concern. The loss Q the in-
