has had a varied, tumultous career. A review discloses that non-par- tisan commission was appointed by the governor to review the pension needs of Waterbury. The commis- sion after three public hearings brought forth a specific Pension Bill. This was immediately followed by the presentation of a specific bill of the firemen and policemen and another from a particular group of city employees.
 Thus three city Pension Bills were presented at the public hearing of the legislative committee. The con- missions bill in adulterated and ameliorated form finally was chosen for presentation to the legislature. This then was changed furtherAupon petition of the firemen, policemen and school teachers and following unsuccessful attempts of Republi- cans to attach referendum amend ment to it.
 The bill in final form was passed in both houses and today rests upon the desk of Governor Baldwin awaiting his return from weeks vacation.

 Today's announcement ended the unusual situation resulting from the fact that Macarthur previously had been given command of the 10th Army but not of the island on which it was stationed.
 Coincidentally, the only Army commander in the Ryukyus not placed under MacArthur-Doolittle came out strongly only Wednesday for appointment of single supreme commander for all land, sea and air forces arrayed against Japan.
 Macarthur previously had been appointed commander of all Army forces in the Pacific, and today's an- nouncement gives further effect to that move. However, it also indi- cated clearly that the 20th Army Air Force of Superfortresses in the Marianas would not operate under his direct command.
 The 20th, like the Eighth Air Force, is part of the Strategic Air Forces commanded by Gen. Carl A Spaatz. Navy forces in the Pacific remain under the overall command of NimitZ.

JAM, JELLY TO BE
 POPULAR EXHIBITS
Coming County Fairs, Vic- tory Garden Shows to
 Feature Variety


 With butter a subject of historic veneration at many tabes, visitors to county fairs and victory garden shows will turn eager eyes on dis plays of jams, jellies, and othe1 spreads for bread. The house. wife who has put up variety oj these products to satisfy ravenoua family and who wishes to become an exhibitor, will be interested in the classif1cations used by most fairs.
 The five most popular classes says Miss Frances Whitcomb, Home Demonstration Agent. are jelles jams, marmalades, conserves and butters. Jellies are made from sugar and fruit juices which set or 'jell" when cold. while jams contain the entire fruit mashed or cooked with sugar. Marmalades are usually made from Npulp fruits with small pieces of pulp and skin evenly distributed in jelly-like base. Conserves are mixture of sliced, shredded o1 chopped fruits, and occasional re- cipes call for nuts. Buffers are fruit pulp products which should ap' preach, the consistency of well. worked dairy butter.
 Today fruit spreads should fill as many extra jars as your cellar and sugar ration will allow, says Miss Whitcomb, but jellies should always be poured into glasses so they can be turned out.
 Labels are necessary for classifica- tion in exhibits and convenience in storage. A flfteen-cent package of fables from the five and dime will cover a hundred jars. Many ex- hibitions add to the attractiveness of their displays by varying the shape and color of the label with the type of preserve.

Death Takes Jim N eWmon
(Continued from Page D

The memory of Cpl. Jim will re- main alive, however, with thousands of American fighting men and civ- ilians. Thousands of letters of en- couragement poured into his par ents' home during his fight to live.
 Funeral services will be held Hon. day at p. m. EWT at the River side assembly of God church and military burial wss arranged for the Garden of Memories Memorial Park.
 At times Cpl. Jim seemed on the road to licking the diseases.
 Its Mom's good cooking, "he would say". That's what will pull me through
 But after each springly day there would be painful nights when mor- phine had to be used to ease the torture.
 The Lord is still with us." his brown-eyed. bustling mother would say. The Lord will see him through the rest of the way"
 Mrs. Neuman's prayers were join ed by countless thousands. They all cheered his gallant fight against overwhelming odds.
 Cpl. Jin-was husky 6-foot-two, 17O-pound athlete when he joined the army in 1883.
 Doctors Gave Up
 He was a skeleton of 92 pounds when they flew him home from Bruns General Hospital at Santa Fe. N. M. The army doctors had tried for five months to cure him. They said it just couldn't be done. Jim had only few days to live, they said.
 The flew days" stretched into weeks and then the Newman family was given renewed hope when Dr. F. E. Harrison began treatment with guiamercol, a new drug. Harrison said two more weeks would tell the tale-wether Cpl. Jim would have something more than just will power on his side.

 Tentative OK
(Continued from Page D

Stalin sent Foreign Commisar V. M. Molotov to the San Francisco conference contrary to his earlier announced intentions after a per- sonal request to do so from Presi- dent Truman shortly after MT. Roosevelt's death.
 The man from Missouri is proving himself far from backward in as- suming leadership in Big Three af- fairs, despite his relative inexper- fence in foreign affairs when he took office last April.
 It has already been disclosed that he was chairman of the Potsdam conference. Now it is possible to re- port that an American agenda put forth by the President at the first session of the conference July IT served as the basis for action in the following sessions.
 It was the first time in Big Three history that such pattern was fol- lowed.
 At the first session, the President submitted list of concrete pro- posals for discussion, most of which were included in the final communi- que.
 The list include proposals for:
 1. The council of foreign min- isters.
 2. Political and economic prin- ciples for Germany.
 3. Italian admission to the Uni ted Nations.
 4. Revised Allied Control Com mission procedure for Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria.
 Other Points Proposed
 There were a number of other points in the original American proposals. The entire content form ed the first basis for Big Three action. Churchill added certain sub- jects as did Stalin. Only the Amer ican proposals were in writing.
 The Presidents suggested agenda was worked out over a period of months in consultation with gov- ernment experts and finally during his ocean voyage to Europe in con- ference with Secretary of State James F. Byrnes.
 MT. Truman's agenda was turned over to Byrnes, Soviet Foreign Con- misar V. M. Molotov and Anthony Eden, then British foreign secretary. They met on July IS to arrange the first discussion points for the Big Three with their chairmanship TO- tating from day to day.
 This was the pattern followed in the 12 Big Three sessions which fol- lowed their first meeting. The for eign ministers met at II a. m. daily and after arranging certain matters of routine assigned new subjects to subcommittee of experts for de- tailed exploration and recommends tions.
 These subcommittee then re- ported back to the foreign ministers who at each afternoon session of the Big Three would report on what had been agreed upon in the morn ing or what progress was being made on unsettled questions. For example it took three days before the foreign ministers reached an agreement on the formation of their council.

Nevertheless, seventy-five per cent of the stores were still without beef and lamb, while approximately 85 per cent had no veal and pork. Only 29 percent of the stores, however, were without stocks of cold meat.
 Supplies of butter, margarine, shortening, and lard were more plentiful than in June. Granulated sugar stocks and some canned fruits and vegetables were more abundant, but canned peas were in shorter supply.
 Meat supplies were more plentiful in July than in June in Boston, Fall River, Manchester and New Haven. They remained about the same in Bridgeport, and were slightly worse in Portland and Providence.

(COnClnUeQ rom Pa8e U vinced that the leaders must have exchanged views on that much fought over and disputed area.
 They were most concerned, how ever, over the probability that mo- thing final will be done about the Rhineland for some time All post war territorial adjustments and de- cisions on enemy state boundaries were turned over to the newly-cre- ated council of foreign ministers.
 Peace Treaties
 Before that council gets around to German boundaries it must frame peace treaties for the other Axis satellites. The Big Three also specifically stated that a German peace treaty could not be drafted until new German government is formed, and ruled that such a cen- tral government was not to be al- lowed for the time being.
 Disposition of Italian colonies and determination of the Italian from tier = especially at the head of the Adriatic at Trieste also were left up in the air.
 The communique revealed that the Russians proposed international trusteeShip for the Italian colonies and hinted that the Russians want ed internationaization of other disputed Italian territory. The ma jor area in the latter category would be Trieste, which Yugoslav Marshal Tito occupied this spring and from which he eventually withdrew after a major Allied crisis.
 Key to this dispute may be the Italian armistice which has never been made public. The understand ing is that the terms of that armis- tice were so harsh that the Allies hesitated about letting the world know them. Allied officials have de- nied, however, that the armistice contains any final disposition of Italian territory.
 The Italian colonies which the Russians want to put under the new world organiza tion's trusteeship system are Libya in northern Africa and Tritrea and Italian Somaliland in East Africa.
 The final Allied decision on these areas could become the first major test of the big powers intentions to- ward the trusteeShip system.
