The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-06-05
Legislatiue
 Notes

The city's pension bill may pos sibly be doomed insofar as passage is concerned with Republican pres- ure inclined to override all intend ed passage in the House. The pres sure has been brought by lobbyists who yesterday were capable of smothering the bills passage in the Senate when failure to vote suspen- sion of rules in the Senate resulted.
 Absence of two Democratic sena- tors from the circle when the bill first appeared yesterday resulted in the lack of tWo-thirds majority to vote rule suspension. Although the Republicans withdrew their vote for reconsideration on the second vote they turned around and again vetoed the suspension proposal.
 Senator Wallace, who unfortun- ately and 'uncomfortably' has found himself the goat on the city pen sion bill declared today that it's pas sage in the Senate today didn't seem too promising and even if suc- cessful may likely be beaten in the Republican dominated house.
 The city's charter bill calling for a salary increase for employees whose pay is fixed by city charter and also calls for an age limit of 30 years for policemen and firemen for en- trance into the department is star red for action in the Senate today and likely will meet no opposition. The Bill passed the House with fly ing colors last Friday.
 Assurances that the judgeships and minor court posts are headed for the Governor was indicated last night when the latter called in a ' man committee of the Democrats relative to their sponsoring some of his bills now at the foot of the Sen ate calendar for which, in return he has promised an equitable divi- sion for the Democrats on the court posts. One of the bills is the one cent gasoline tax hike. No definite word was given by the Democrats however.
 The House passed a resolution in dorsing Earle H. Segur of Water bury as a commissioner of the state Housing Authority. Possibility of it's being blocked in the Senate is fore seen.

What Sweden
Does For Her
Neighbors

In the January number of
Americans Swedish M o n h Y, a
well-known journalist. c h r e S
Gratke, discusses Sweden's policy
of neutrality during the war and
points out, among other things
that Sweden has spoken modestly
of the sums and supplies which it
has sent to its neighbors. This
may not seem startling in world
where war budgets have become
so astronomical, Mr.. Gratke says,
but it is still possible to relate
Sweden's contribution to its popu-
lation. For instance, the proposed
S25, 100000 Swedish credit for
Norwegian reconstruction. In per
capita terms. compared with the
United States. it is of the order
of S57O,OO0,OOO.
Actually Swedish credits for
Norway are twice as great. In a
release from The American Swed-
iSh News Exchange of last month.
summary of Swedens aid to re-
construction was made, from
which we take the following fig

An official rehabilitation board
is handling all matters relating to
governmental participation in the
work of international reconstruct
ton. 1t has. for example, pre-
pared the credit agreements which
have been signed with Norway,
Finland and the Netherlands. The
total amount of of orders for re-
Mobilization purposes accepted by
Sweden is now about 100000, 600
crowns, or S125, 100000. Accord
ing to a statement made last fall
by the Swedish Minister of Com
merce, Sweden's grants of credits
for the rebuilding of war-ravaged
countries ma ultimately reach
double that amount, or one billion
crowns.
