6,449 Dead Counted.
He announced that during the
first two weeks a total Of 6,449 en-

The economic wealth of East

Rokossovsky's dash along the bor-
der of East Prussia and the Polish
corridor apparently brought him
within about 20 miles of Danzig.
The Moscow broadcast saying
Russian forces were only a little
over 125 miles from Berlin did not
give the point of deepest penetra-
ton. German accounts for several
days, however, have told of fighting
in or near Poznan, 1877 miles east of
Berlin, while the Berlin-reported
crossing of the Oder at Steinau is
1873 miles southeast of Berlin.
A bridgehead at Steinau would
place the Russians only 10 miles
from Luben, on the main Berlin
Breslau railway. Steinau is q miles
west of Trachenberg, Silesia, and
about the same distance southeast
of Rawicz, Poland The Russians
announced the capture of these two
places yesterday.
With the two crossings of the
Oder reported at points n miles
apart, the German radio told of

Breslau itself, where Hitler's
bombed-out industries and officials
have sought refuge from the Ruhr

verted into fortress, with all but
few women evacuated.
All men between Is and 60 were
called from factories and mines to

A thorough scolcted earth policy
was being pursued by the Germans
in the rich Silesian industrial area,
second in Germany only to the Ruhr
in productive capacity. Moscow dis

But the weather was on the side
of the Russians, with hard-frozen
roads favoring swift movement Of
Konev's tanks and guns and clear
skies allowing him to put plane
canopy over his bridgeheads.
Moscow broadcasts declared the
Russians did not intend to stop be-

Charging that the Army's poultry

throughout the country there were

poultry in this area was frozen on

Faith and Responsibility

The consternation over Russia's pro- poSal for extra votes in the international security organization seems all out of proportion to it's foreSeeable result. Surely it is less important than RuSSias insist ence on the veto privilege for the great powers. Nor is it certain that the San Francisco conference will grant this most recent request.
 The reason for the conSternation then must lie in the tardinesS with which the request was made known, and the man. ner of it's revelation. These conSidera- tionS raised a general fear that there may have been other secret covenants at Yalta secretly arrived at. They added to the general fear that world rule by the three great powers is possible
 It was argued, in defense of the veto arrangement, that if the time ever came when one of the great powers was guilty of aggression, it would take another world war to halt it, anyway. So the world was asked to trust that great power, given 8 loophole permitting unchecked aggres- sion, would be too sensible and too humane to use it.
 And surely the great powers can be trusted. It is incredible that any of them would risk rendering impotent any or ganization to prevent war by asking an unreasonable amount of power in that organization.
 It is incredible that any great power could deny the sovereign equality of states, or forget that superior strength also means added responsibility to the small nations which have suffered SO grievously in this war.
 It is incredible that any of them should seek first temporary advantage in what must be an enduring organization, cap table of preserving peace even though weak leaders may succeed strong ones and the transitory quality of national greatness pass from one country to another.
 But the fear that the incredible may come to pass still exists Future events may add to that fear. Against this fear the world can only strengthen it's faith in the leaders and statesmen who, though human and fallible, will in the end speak for the great powers and thus shape the destiny of the world alliance against war. Without the good sense and good will to justify that faith, all the controversial mechanics of votes and vetoes is mean ingless.

Appreciation of the efforts of the local Police and Fire Departments is becoming almost commonplace, as witness the pa rade of congratulatory letters and checks being announced at the monthly meet ings of the respective boards of these div isions of the municipal government. How ever, it's still good news to read that pa- trolmen are performing their duties in manner that brings such praise and which naturally reflects great credit on the departments. Wasn't it only a short time ago that these departments were being termed antiquated and composed of "old men,. That doesn't hold when person can pick up the evening newspa- per and read that firemen performed mo- bly, in quelling blaze or that a group of patrolmen were instrumental in saving somebody's life. It's times like these that make the average citizen conscious of the fact that these departments are we'll manned, ell-disciplined, and designed to give real public service.

One Shift Checked

Oftentimes one reads today of pro- nounced shifts in living habits. People are said to be trying to get away from the centers of population to the outskirts. The same is true, with some modified tions, of industry. There have been trends in industrial development which saw one section of the country suddenly deprived of it's former main means of livelihood by transfer of important in- duStrial plants, employing thousands of people, to another section. Whether or not Waterbury ever viewed the U. s. Time Corp. plant in Middlebury as such a movement we don't know, but there might be some discussion of the same right now.
 Apparently Middlebury town officials are not concerned about industrial de- velopment in their midst. Waterbury'S neighbor to the west evidently does not believe that it's future lies in industrial expansion from city to town. Its rejec- tion of plea to amend the towns zoning ordinances to permit factory expansion conclusively proves this. And in some respects it may prove, too, that industrial shifts from the large cities to smaller ones for tax or other reasons may have their difficulties, too.
 Big cities like Waterbury have watched with considerable trepidation the raids made on their populaces by surrounding towns which could offer the benefits of lower tax rates with the advantages of both town and country. The war had a lot to do with checking n1igrations like this on wholesale scale, because war production is SO intense as to concentrate residence in as small an area as is pos sible in and around the war plants. After the war therell be resumption of the mi gratory program unless Waterburys post- war program is so enticive as to preclude any further removals beyond the city limits. At least we have just seen one instance where crossing the line appar- ently has not caused town fathers to be- come inabued with the idea of competing induStrially with the city.

Good sense is going to prevail here in Connecticut on VIE Day. We know that without issuing words of caution. Your average Connecticut man and woman will be as jubilant as anybody over ces- sation of activities in Europe or the Pa cific, but Connecticut being the arsenal of the nation, we're rather wrapped up in our tremendous job of supplying the si- 14ews of war When the eventful day comes, there should be more time spent in quiet prayer and meditation, than in wild shouting and celebrating.

Time was when April 1 ushered in the trout season here in Connecticut. That was quite few years ago. Then the date was changed to April 18th. When fishermen complained that this was cut ting couple of weeks off the season, au- thorities at Hartford heightened it on the closing end. Then there were years of extreme drought when even fishing was forbidden for fear of forest fires. That would always result in extra time for fishing after the season might have nor mally closed. Now the season opens on April"21 or the third Saturday of April. We have to get used to these changes; wonder how the trout take it?

DECISION OF ZONING BOARD GREAT FAVOR OF FIREMAN ENT RESIDENTS OF MID-
 DLEBURY SAYS WRITER
To the Editor

To the Editor
 The Middlebury Board of zoning Appeals in denying the U. s. Time Corporations appeal to enlarge the present industrial plant in Middle bury by the addition of second story certainly has shown its sym- pathy to the majority of the resi- dents of this town.
 At the public hearing which was held in the town hall in Middlebury in February the townspeople cer- tainly showed their interest by pack ing the hall.
 Army personnel, officers of the U. s. Time Corporation, and their at torneys were there, but where was the president of the concern? Yes, he was up in Canada at a time which was so important to him and all concerned. I believe he should have been there to answer vital questions which were placed. MT. Frank Mcdonald asked who the stockholders of the company were, but that was not answered.
 On the fuse-loading plant and the powder storage houses the concern had the backing of the Army and the government, so the majority of the townspeople agreed that if such buildings would shorten the war then the concern could erect them.
 The U. s. Time Corpora tion sent very nice letters to all residents of the town of Middlebury stating its desires of expanding its present plant by adding a second story on the present site to be ussd for of fices and a cafeteria. Asked by the Board of Appeals of Middlebury if the concern could submit plans and specifications for such an extra story the spokesmen replied the plans were not complete.
 The corporation sent out 8 beau- tiful artistic conception of what the new structure would look like when completed, but where were the plans and specifications for 1t?
 The concern now employees 2,500 persons, of whom about 50 are res- idents of Middlebury. It seems then that factory in the town certainly won't benefit its residents.
 The present building seems to be adequate for the number of em- ployeS the concern states 1t expects to have after the war. The present cafeteria has been able to take care of the force of workers 1t has now, and the company states 1t expecte to have the same number after the war. There also seems to be a great expanse of floor space in the present structure for use of offices and for machinery for postwar production.
 I am in sympathy with the resi- dents of Straits Turnpike and the surrounding vicinity of tn. factory. They came out to purchase quiet
