Two years ago it was Mayor John s. MonakaA who was requesting the governor to veto bills which he be- lived were passed in contravention of the will of the local public. This year it's Mayor Jasper McLevy of Bridgeport. The Park City execu- tive was so worked up over four bills passed by the 1945 Legislature, affecting Bridgeport, that he issued public statement this week casti- gating the Assembly and followed this up with talk on the radio in which he echoed his newspaper statements. Mayor McLevy chose to refer to the entire Assembly pro- duction as the worst within the memory of any living person. That's pretty harsh criticism, yet others have said the same thing. It may take the Legislature long time to live down what took place within its sacred confines during the 1945 session.

Gov. Baldwin more than made good his promise to pursue a mid dle-line course if minor court ap- pintments were left to his judg- iment He has certainly not fol- lowed the pattern drawn up by legislative leaders in all respects. But in many communities the
 judgeships are being apportioned out just as leaders had agreed would be the best way to dis tribute them. Waterbury is cer- tainly one of these, but whether or not the original agreement as to disposition of places within the court will be followed remains to be seen. Failure of the local ap- pointees Judge Charles R. Summa and former Judge John L. Gaffney-tO agree on the jobs might cause the incumbents to hold over. On the other hand this might be politically bad for the COP at the fall election.

Remarks made by the congress- woman from Fairfield County aren't to be taken lightly, whether they are made from Washington, Con- necticut or some far-away battle field The lady from Connecticut is proving herself seasoned cam paigner wherever she goes. True, she had a tough time defeating Miss Margaret Connor last fall and will face stern opposition any time she runs for political office. But if she wins, victory is that much sweeter. Right now it begins to look as if the one time powerful Fairfield County faction of the Re- publican party is making plans to regain it's lost laurels. Whether it will center it's complete attention on Congressman Joseph Talbot of Naugatuck remains to be seen. At least the first indication is that Talbot will be its candidate for gov ernor,

Politics

Political foes of Mayor John S.. Monagan and his administration, whether within or without the party, will find it difficult to dig up campaign material in the latest f. 1ancial audit of the city prepared by Barrow, Wade & Guthrie. De- nvered to city officials this past week the report gave the city a clean bill of health. Like all such reports, however, the auditors made Q number of recommendations, but when these are compared with those of earlier reports it can be seen that actually the citys finances and conduct of the various departments are on pretty high plane right at the present time. Incidentally the city's independent auditing firm beat the deadline the State Tax Department sets up for such re> ports by a couple of weeks. June 30th is the deadline for filing audits and in prior years the city auditors had to get extensions in order to complete their job.

Republican "bigwigs' are wOn- dering if Rep. Clare Boothe Luce is planning to take over the Re- publican party here in Connec- ticut. They contend that it was La Luce's announcement that Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin would be the candidate for the U. s. Senate in 1946 which precipitated the announcement from the Hart ford insurance firm that the gov ernor was leaving politics at the end of his current term to accept responsible positions with it. There may be nothing in this rumor, but certain it is that the scene is cleared now for some intensive work within the ranks preceding the 1946 convention.

City Takes Step
Towards Postwar
Lighting Plans

The City Commission this
week gave its approval to the
Detroit Edison Company TO
commence removal of old-style
ornamental lighting poles not
being used at present for illumi-
nation purposes.
Some of the poles, deteriorat-
ed at their bases, represent a
minor h azard, George Har-
greaves, Edison official, told
commissioners.
Hargreaves said the removed
poles will be used to match
up other similar poles on
streets where poles are lacking,
after necessary repairs to the
bases have been made.
Although no action was asked
on new lighting system at the
present time, Hargreaves dis
closed to the City Commission
that, with city approval at a
later date, the Edison company
is mapping out an extensive
new lighting system for the city.
The utility firm will underwrite
the entire cost of installation
and maintenance, with the city
paying only for power. The

New European
Censorship Code
is Outlined

PARIS, May II Up Su-
preme Headquarters has issued
a new censorship guide on The
Level of Security After We
Day. and indications today were
that postwar censorship would
continue as long as .SHAEF is
here and perhaps as long as there
are occupation forces in Europe.
Press Guidance No l, the new
series. has been in the hands OF
censors since May 5. This new
basis of censorship is summarize
ed as follows
In accordance with Opera
tons Memorandum No. q, Su-
preme Headquarters, AEF, in
general, press material falling
into the following categories will
not be released:
"l-Reports likely to supply
military information Of value to
the japanese enemy to the Diet
riment Of the Allied war effort.
Northumberland, inaccu-
rate or false reports. misleading
statements and rumors.
"3-Reports likely to injure
the morale of the Allied forces
or the relations between Allied
nations"
The first point clearly Is bas-
ed on military security, which
the press and public had been
given to understand was the sole
basis of censorship at military
headquarters. The second point,
which If applied in the extreme
could stop almost anything but
an official communique oil state
ment, has been on the books all
along.
The first part OF the third
point during the war was clear
ly linked with military security.
But the latter part. dealing with
relationships between Allied ma
tons, comes into the twilight
zone of political security. Where
the line will be drawn has not
yet been made clear.

Under Prices measure the
$1O-a-day payments would be
made to the prisoner, If he sur

The bill could not compel in
clusion of the plan in a peace
treaty, Price said. but would di-

Arrogance Of Early War
Years DismoI|y Dissolved

soldiers and their camp follow
ers il was a foot hike. Some took
off their shoes and walked bare
footed down the long highway.
They were dirty, dusty, tired,
hungry and dispirited. Only
among the young, pampered SIS
troops who rode in their own
vehicles were the signs of the
old Nazi jauntiness. And by the
time these men reached Amer
lean front line posts and had sur
rendered their weapons, most of
them had lost their cockiness.
An SIS man without his guns
looks pretty much like the next
fellow.
In one field were some 5000
German women with their chill
dren. They were washing their
aching feet in a small stream,
stretching out YEARLY for maps
under the blazing May sun or
merely sitting on the grass star
ing blankly in tired indecision.
Some had collapsed from the
heat of the 56-mile march and
were being treated under an
open tent by American medics.
BACKWASH OF WAR
From all parts of the field
came the querulous cries of fret
full babies and children. They
were German children crying for
food and attention children
who knew something was wrong
and with the quick perception
of childhood caught up their
mothers fright and uncertainty.
One Czech mother who saw
this crowded field of anxious
German Wom n wasn't very
sympathetic.
1T is bad that any children
have TO cry she said. But IL
some children must cry it is the
turn of German children. They
will be hungry at most for only
few hours. But our Czech chill
dren have had to do without
proper food for six years. There
were oranges for German chill
dren in Czechoslovakia, but none
for Czech children. Now it is our
turn to feed oranges to our ba-
bies."

Government Of The Meth
erIands Issues State
mentto Nationalist
By RALPH MORTON

BATAVIA, Nov 6-The govern
ment of The Netherlands East In
dies, trying to restore order in this
land Wracked by struggle for
, independence, made public today a
plan for rapid development Of
Indonesia as a partner in king
dom which will be constructed to
guarantee the self-respect OF all
member peoples"
H. j. van Nook, acting governor
general of the Indies, who released
the program, disclosed that it had
been presented more than week
ago to Indonesian Nationalist lead
ers as a basis for settlement OF
their demands. He expressed his
hope for a speedy return Of order
/ to Java so that a round table con-
ference might be convened to dis
cuss all aspects of his proposals.
Growing Tension
His statement was issued in an
atmosphere of growing tension,
emphasized by a new outbreak of
street fighting in Batavia between
Indonesian extremists and Dutch
I troops.
Indonesian leaders were reported
! to have urged van Mock not to
release the document, fearing that
his which are far short
I of their demands-would only in
crease the gull between their people
and the Dutch.
In essence, van Mook's statement
was a reiteration of previous Dutch
offers TO grant the Indonesians
self government and independence
within the limits Of a Dutch COM
monwealth, but it was reinforced
by assurances Of racial equality and
full partnership with The Neither
lands.
Development Program
Room will be made for the de-
velopment of business of every size
for all racial groups, and the par
ticipation of Indonesians, Indo-
Chinese and Indo-Arabs in big
business will be furthered,' the
statement declared.
THE Central Government of this
, country will have to be recon-
structed by legal process in such
way that it will consist Of a
democratic representative body with
a substantial majority of Indo-
nesian members and a council of
ministers under a governor general
as the representative of the crown, "

CHICAGO, Nov. 6.-TeX, a guide
dog, injured with his blind master
when they were struck by an auto

two blocks to his home to summon
aid fer the sightless man he has led
to and from work since last May
When Tex reached the home of
his master, William Mailman, fol-
lowed by persons who had seen the
accident, he barked and clawed at
the front door. Mrs. Mailman, not
ing that her husband was not with
Tex, was told by the witnesses that
he had been injured.
The dog had limped off toward
the scene of the accident and when
Mrs. Mailman did not follow i'm
mediately, he went back and barked
Then he started again, taking Mrs.
Mailman with him.
Meanwhile, Mailman had been re-
moved to a hospital by William
Slimm, driver of the car. He suf-

wife to return to care for Tex, who
had been hurled beneath the car
and had suffered foot injuries She
returned home and took him to a
veterinarian.
