he was promoted to Staff Sergeant and sent overseas landing on the coast of North Africa on his birth day, December 8, 1942. He took part in the North African and Sicilian campaigns in which he re- ceived the Silver Star Medal and Presidential Citation for maintain ing communication lines under enemy fire.
 He also possesses the Purple Heart received in Sicily; while keeping communication lines intact he was struck in the leg by flying shrapnel when the Germans began shelling a mine field through which he was laying a wire. Binding up his wound himself, he continued to perform his duty.
 Graziano's war record, advance ment and success in the army, match that of his civilian life. A native and resident of Italy until he was seven years of age, at which time his family moved to Bloomfield, he could not speak word of English when he entered the first grade at the old school house on Park Avenue, now the American Legion Club House, but he soon stood at the top of his classes being constantly on the honor roll.
 "Grozzy", as he is known locally, was a good athlete and took an active part in Bloomfield High sports affairs during his attend ance there.

REV. O'BRIEN NAMED
 BISHOP OF HARTFORD
Is Second Native of State to Head Local Diocese

Local Diocese
 The Most Rev. Henry J.. O'Brien, administrator of the Ro- man Catholic Diocese of Hartford, has been named by Pope Plus XII as the Bishop of Hartford, suc- ceeding the late Bishop Maurice F. McAuliffe.
 The announcement of the bis hops appointment was received by the Apostolic Delegate in Wash ington from the Vatican. Bishop C'Brion has been administrator of the diocese since Bishop McAulif- fe's death.
 Bishop O'Brien, the second na- tive of Connecticut to head the diocese, was born in New Haven July 21, 1896. He attended the New Haven grade schools and Hillhouse High School and St. Thomas Seminary. He took his philosophical studies at St. Ber- nard's Seminary in Rochester, N. Y. and went to the American Col lege at Louvain, Belgium to study theology. He was ordained there on July 8, 1923 by the late Card inal Mercier.
 Returning to the United States in July, 1923 he was assigned to St. Mary's Church, Windsor Locks and year later was transferred to St. Thomas Church, Fairfield, as assistant pastor. He became a professor at St. Thomas Semin ary on January 29, 1926 and was made vice president on August 31, 1882 and president on September 8, 1884.
 In 1927 he was appointed by Bishop McAuliffe to head the fifth annual Hartford diocesan pilgrimage to Lourdes and Rome.
 On May IA, 194O he was con- secrated titular Bishop of Sita in St. Joseph's Cathedral by tn e Most Rev. Archbishop Amieto Ci- cognani, apostolic delegate to the United States and made auxiliary bishop of Hartford.
 Bishop O'Brien is president of St. Francis Hospital. The $2,O00, 900 building program is his first major community undertaking as bishop.

COUNCIL-MANACER
 CHARTER RATIFIED
Only Twenty-seven Voters Express Any Opposition

cepted the new Town Charter pro- viding for Council Manager form of government by the over whelming vote of 371 to 27.
 The vote in District No. 1 showed 285 in favor and 12 op- posed and in District No. 2, 86 voted for ratification and 15 op- posed.
 While only approximately 2O% of the Towns registered voters ballotted, promoters of the Char ter confessed to find great satis- faction in the disclosure that in spite of the town-wide effort to muster negative votes less than 2% of those registered as voters were willing to express any oppo- sition to the ratification of the charter. Of those voting, 921a% favored adoption.
 Under the terms of the Charter a town council of seven members will be elected next October at the biennial election and at that time the plan will be put into full Op- eration. The council will replace the Board of Finance and will as sume also most of the duties of the Board of Selectmen. Its mem- bers will appoint the Town Man ager and the Tax Collector. They also will appoint the Town Treas urer who was previously elected by ballot.
 Under the new set-up the Town Manager will direct the Police De- partment, eliminating the Board of Police Commissioners. He also will become the purchasing agent for all branches of town govern ment with the exception of the Board of Education and the Pros ser Public Library.
 The charter is the product of a special committee headed by Will bur c. Stauble of the Bloomfield Town Charter Association whose president is the Reverend William D. Barnes. The committee consist ing of Attorney John Faude, Ward H. Pinney, Attorney Austin Law Ter, Mrs. F. B. Austin, Willard F. Full, Attorney Robert Hall and MT. Stauble was assisted by Dr. Thomas H. Reed, consultant for the Connecticut Public Expendi- ture Council.
 This group and associates from the Charter Association held meet ings during the past year and a half to enable the townspeople to express approval and offer objec- tions to the plan in it's formula tive stage. They secured Town Meetings approval of their final draft before presenting it to the general assembly and the election last month which voted accept ance merely climaxed the work of the Charter Association and it's special committee.

That is the conviction of vii.

investigator for the Bexar County,
Texas. Sheriffs office.
Early last year he faced the
task of investigating scores of
robberies and burglaries with an
inadequate staff.
In far too many Of the cases he
found young boys responsible.
Most of his adult life he had
been a newspaper man. For years
he was with the San Antonio
Light, a Hearst newspaper. He
accepted a job with the office of
Sheriff Owen w. Kilday as a sort
of war job.
Brogan had great faith that
very, very few boys are really
bad. He believed too many OF
them had been pushed around
and their energies misdirected.
So he began calling In the
worst offenders to his office and
talking with them. He showed
them some OF his files to prove
that crime does not pay and the
criminal Is nearly always caught.

are too high already, let me say this: The Government own figures show that 60 per cent of American workers are now receiving wages below the bare susistence level for a finally of four officially set by the Department of Labor.
 INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY
 And to those who become alarmed at the danger that prices will be forced upward along with wages, thus inviting postwar in- f1ation, let me say this: Increased productivity of individual workers developed during the war and amazing new mass-prOductiOn techniques will reduce labor costs even with higher wage rates and permit lower prices if industry is content with present profits.
 This statement, of course, is based on the assumption that we are aiming at high-level production, without which postwar prosperity is impos- sible
