MRS. GUILMARTIN SUFFERS SEVERE INJURY TO HAND

Mrs. Frank w. Guilmartin of Mountain Road barely escaped the loss of the fingers of her right hand in an unusual accident with some metal edging strips used on linoleum.
 In company with her sister-in- law, Mrs. E. Newton Peck, she was taking the stripping horne from 9 West Hartford store. One end had been tied to the right front fender and Mrs. Guilmartin was holding the other end in her ungloved hand through the open window. When the tied end broke it was blown at right angles to the car and stuck in the road embankment causing the other end of the sharp edged metal to be drawn through the palm of Mrs. Guilmartin's hand. The fingers were cut to the bone.

LOCAL TAX RATE RAISED 2 MILLS
Boost Necessary to Cover Budget of $262,O47.66

A record budget of $262,O47.66 and tax rate of 24 mills to cover were unanimously voted at the annual town meeting Monday eve ming, May 21, the towns first ses- sion under the new fiscal year set up.
 The 24 mill tax rate represents an increase of two mills over that paid on the 1943 levy but was made necessary, it was explained, to cover such major items included in the recommended budget as $5,0OO for a ten percent "cost of living" adjustment in teachers salaries; the $9,35O obligation incurred by the $15O,OOO bond issue floated in April and the S6,5O0 for improve ment of the Blue Hills School grounds.
 A reduction in the grand list from $8,9O9,539 to $8,792,456, causing loss of $2,8O9.99 on a 24 mill rate was another reason for the boost.
 Calling special attention to all this, Town Manager Williamson reminded those present that for the short fiscal year beginning August 16, 1914 and ending June 30, 1945, no tax rate was laid and no taxes were collected. This short year was financed by the $150,OOO bond issue and surplus funds on hand last August.
 The new budg ct represents $147, 7,399.17 for the schools.

INSTALLATION OF BISHOP ATTENDED BY THR0NC

In thronged St. Joseph's Cath edral Tuesday, before hundreds of clergy, nuns, the laity, officials of state and city and visiting prelates of the Catholic Church, Most Rev. Henry J. O'Brien became the ninth bishop to head the Hartford Dio- cese and the second native of Con- nectiuct appointed to this see.
 Proceeding through a rich and dignified ceremony, centuries old in tradition, Bishop O'Brien re- ceived from Most Rev. Richard J. Cushing, archbishop of Boston and metropolitan of New England, the pastoral staff of authority and celebrated his first mass from the episcopal throne.
 Throughout the entire two-hour ceremony, opening with a solemn procession of priests and church dignitaries, many people who could not find seats with the congrega- tion stood at the back of the cath edral. The St. Thomas Seminary choir took part in the ceremony which was attended by many resi- dents of the city.

Some Already Home, Others On
 Way Looking Forward To Home Cooked Food, Hot Baths and Rest
MOST ALL IN GOOD HEALTH

The liberation of the last half dozen members of Bloomfield fam flies held captive in German prison camps was confirmed early this month.
 While in some cases a brief message from the War Deptment or short note from the liberated captive was the only word re- ceived, it was enough. To their parents and other loved ones it meant that Vic, Nick, Jimmie, Ray, and Allan and Clint were alive and free, would be home soon.
 The first of the group not pre- viously accounted for to send word of his liberation was Lieutenant James L. Warner, former pilot of a B-17 bomber of the 9th A.A.F. who was dropped behind the Ger man lines while on an early October, 1914 raid from English bases.
 Warner cabled his mother of his freedom on May IA. So far as is known, he has suffered no more than the customary hardships from lack of proper food and is ex- pected home daily.
 Although word of the release of Staff Sergeant Victor Clifford and Sergeant Nicholas Ostapekevich did not reach here until much later they were both recovered from their prisons in late April.
 Clifford. the first of the Bloom field men to be taken prisoner, was liberated April 26 and the last word was that he was await ing transportation to the States.
 The fact that he advised his mother "he was feeling fine" prompts the belief he was held in one of the better camps. He has been confined since March 6, 1914 but has been able to communicate with his family on frequent occa- sion.
 A letter from Sergeant Osta- pekevich, dated May 2, told his parents he had been set free on April 29 and added yesterday I had the first hot bath in months" Another letter, dated May 5, said he hoped to be on his way home soon and late Monday evening, June 4, he called from Boston and in the Russian language which he had learned while in prison with Soviet soldiers-he told his family he was in the states and would be home within few days. He ar rived this week.
 Nick was taken prisoner on August "A, 1914 when his bomber plane was shot down over Leipsig. He confirmes the fact that a leg injury received at the time of his

CANCER FIELD ARMY
lNaw York Timesl

(New York Times)
 The Cancer Field Army Is well named. It was organized ten years ago to wage against cancer Q war that can never end, Despite the impressive progress made In medi- cine and biology in the last fifty years, cancer still bafies. Because It strikes primarily those In middle and late life and because We live longer than did our grandparents, 1t now stands second in the list Of causes of death. Whatever cures have been effected must be credited to the surgeon and radiologist. It follows that the care of the needy in whom tumors have developed re- mains Q major problem, and 1t Is to this problem that the Cancer Field Army has addressed itself.
 Under the direction of the Amer lean Cancer society, and particularly Mrs. Harold V. Milllgan, the Field Army Is working beneflcently ifl forty-six states. Originally organs i0ed for educational purposes, the army now also sees to 1t that Stirgi- cal dressings are prepared and in- digent patients conveyed to hospi- talS, that interest in the establish ment Of free examination centers iS stimulated, and that the movement for the standardization of cancer laws throughout the country is sup- ported. Good as oil this Is, the American Cancer society calls for a still larger army to cope with tho increasing incidence of cancer. Il appeals for recruits. Now that tho war has ended, thousands of womer will Do released from voluntary work in scores of welfare agencies These women have received the kine of training that Is useful in Succor. ing the thousands who have beer stricken by cancer and whose lIvet may be saved. It Is to these womer that the Field Army especially CD. pealS. The work that they can dC is just as important as any theS did in war Tn five years of peace we lose almost twice as many from cancer as we lost In five years of wal reason enough why the appea, should be needed.

The Twilight Of Europe

When a head of state embarks a rule-or-ruin project as Adolf Hitler did, he has at least one com forng the project can't be entirely unsuc- cessful Hers war while it failed to establish the rule of New Order" did pretty thorough job of running Europe It took staggering total of lives agricultural lands raw materials and industrial installations It caused social and economic upheavalS almost as complete as the political dsntegration of Germany And in doing these things probably finished off the continent of Flu rope the British Isles the financial political and intellectual hub of the world-a position they held for 2000 years and more
 The twilight of Europe is painfully apparent today. It be in Washington where representatives, o1 the once proud and mighty British Empire are pleading for the American money which might assure the Elm pires economic survival It be seen even more clearly in London at the Council of Foreign Ministers There the conflict of prestige and political morals is between Russia and the United States Russia, which Hitler hated and feared even than he hated England and the United States which he considered decaden and d- vided.
 Today the magnetic attraction of RusSas social sys- tenn, studiousy exploited by Russa'S government has pulled eastern Europe into her orbit Today the United States physically unharmed by war, is the worlds H. nancial center However dstaseful capitalism may be to Eurpenns oday-and 1t has been bitterly and ungen- erousy abused from London to MoscoW-the fruits ot a prosperous capitastc system which did so much to save England and Russia in their days of greatest peril political philosophy seems to be- And so, thanks Iagey to Hitler the paths of wealth and power and eventually of culture and civilization have turned east and west from the familiar countryside of Europe.

Chief Credit For Victory

As has happened inevitably after every war, various candidates being put forward now as being due cnet credit for victory in the gobal struggle ended recently Many have mentioned the atomic bomb as having won the war From England statement the other day that radar the decisive weapon Others insist that to the arpane due chief credit for victory The Army and the Navy each has It's many supporters
 No one could have any desire to belitte In any way the importance of each of these factors Certainly the A. bomb hastened victory, probably by many months mus saving countless lives Radar may have enabled Britain to hold the fort while strength was being gathered ana organized for the drive to victory Comment on the i'm portance of the air would be superauous Victory could not been gained without the armies and the navies.
 But for our money, the fellow who really won the war
 the absolutely indispensable ingredient to victory
 was CT Joe of the Army and his belbottom trousereo counterpart in the Navy If credit should be given to any one element for having the war; then the man in the ranks would be our candidate Behind even the stunning terror of the atomic bomb the knowledge Of the Japanese that if they did not euit Uncle sams SOL ders and sailors had whatever 1t took to crash in and mn ish the This the Japanese knew because Of what happened in Europe and on countless beachheads in the Pacific.
 Of course 1t is somewhat absurd to put forward the claim that this or that force or weapon won the war Victory was gained because innumerable elements on the battle and home fronts welded into an rressti ble But if any of these elements is to be singled out as having been most important, the man n the ranks cannot be denied place at the head Of the paraoe

Views Of The Press

Members of the Connecticut Leg islature now get the fixed sum Of $500 for their service. Tn addition they are allowed carfare on Q mile- age basis but the sum of $500 hardly pays the extra expenses that a legis- lator must incur ana 1t certainly does not compensate those who gye up business or professional engage ments in order to sit in the House or Senate.
 The aim should be to hit Q happy medium in legislative salaries. The stipend should not be 50 low as to make prospective candidates decline to run for fear Of martyrizing their families. On the other hand It should not be so high as to tempt persons with no other means Of sup- port to run for the Legislature just to get the money.
 The proposed change to 5000 Is still on the low side. We don't think that the state will bankrupt itself by adopting this increase or that many persons will be tempted to run for the Legislature just to get the money.
