NEW YORK, Sept. s--A fantas-
tic monetary situation in occupied
Germany. arising out of American
stupidity" in turning over 10 the
Russians the plates from which
occupation marks are printed, was
revealed today ny John w. Hanes,
former undersecretary OF the
treasury.
Hanes, wko is chairman OF the
finance committee OF the Hearst
Corp. returned last week from a
tour of Europe, with Richard +.
Berlin. president OF the Hearst
Corp. They went as observers Tor
the Hearst press.
AS a result Of the American sur
render of money-making machln-
tery 10 Russia - although IT had
been agreed At Yalta that the
United States was 10 be the sole
printer and distributor OF occupa-
ton currency-the Russians are
running hog-wild with the marks
their presses are turning out on
mile-a-minute basis.
BUY EVERYTHING
The Russians. Hanes said, are
Ibuying everything that isn't nailed
down and a lot that IS. From wrist
watches and fountain pens, sold at
unbelievable prices by American
soldiers. to old copper and junk
and even bathroom fixtures bought
from the hungry Germans-ah 60
onto flat cars for export 10 the
ISoviets.
The cost? Just $50 for ton OF
marks-the price the Russians pay
for the paper the marks are
printed on.
The occupation marks can be
converted into American dollars
AT the rate of 10 10 81. But can
YOU convert them into Russian
roubles? No. Once in possession
of the engraving equipment, the
Russians put their foot down and
said you can't trade them for our
money.

to Russell w. Purchase, Saginaw
flying service operator. E..
I'VE already have booked four

he said. The same is true OF
Detroit operators.
The reasons are plain. The sea-
son starts Sept. %, II days ahead
of Michigan and the daily limits is
eight birds-four of them hens
in most counties. Hunters are
allowed to ship home 40 pheasants
and 25 ducks.
Several of the flying service
companies are arranging sched'

party in Dakota and pick the
members up several days later
when flying another out

known. Admittedly. the Germans beat us to them.
 Until recently our tanks have been less powerful, less maneuveyable and less heavily armored than the Germans. And there is Still an argument over how well the new PerShing tank will stand up against the Nazi Partners and Tigers. It has also been charged that many of our small arms are inferior to the Ger man counterparts.
 Even Hitler could scarcely argue, how ever, that the Allies are not doing right well with what, by the swiftly changing standards of scientific war, are old-fash- toned weapons. And we seem to be using old-faShioned tactics, too For the West ern Front generals have cut up, con- fused and trapped the Germans with the same sort of swift, thruStng warfare that the Germans employed so successfully in 194O.
 The Allies may not have any jet planes in action. But their outmoded bomberS, protected by outmoded fighters, have plastered German industry so regularly and effectively that the Luftwaffe doesn't have many of them either. We may not have any robot bombs. But the British have a new development of the old fashioned bomb which weighs II tons, and is infinitely more accurate and powerful than the flying variety
 This doesn't mean that jet planes and flying bombs are not necessities of mod ern war, or that we shouldn't have them. It does seem to prove, however, that secret and mysterious military devices can't be a deciding factor when an enemy insists upon throwing obsolescent equipment in such abundance that full-scale produc- even get started.

New Workers are probably somewhat mystified by the announcement that despite lower tax rate for the next fiscal year and higher budget than the current one Mayor LaGuardia proposes far-reaching salary increases for city employees. The mayor bases his figures on anticipated increases in revenue, chiefly from the city's general fund, but also including state grants for welfare and educational purposes. A metropolis like New York benefits tremendously through state grants. The N Y. budget for 1945-46 totals $759, ,266, ,401, which makes many budget-makers in smaller communities throughout the country sigh contentedly at the thought of their smaller appropriations. Here is budget approximately 127 times greater than Waterbury's, which is considered quite business undertaking But when you undertake to raise and spend over $10O,- 100000 in the course of year, the obli- gations certainly loom as stupendous.

"An Outline of Government"

There nave been any number of books and pamphlets written and issued in Con- necticut on the fundamentals of our government. Certainly deserving of top rank in this field is "An Outline of Gov ernment in Connecticut, prepared and published this week by the House Con- mittee on Public Information. It was given out to members of the Legislature Tuesday and no doubt by this time copies have found their way into the hands of many interested citizens It should be textbook for every Connecticut boy and girl. No better introduction to our form of government could be devised
 !. Particular credit for the booklet should be bestowed upon James Daugherty of Westport, who was both writer and illus trator. Also commendable is the capable editorial work of Philip E. Curtiss of Nor folk. For sponsorship The Democrat pays its respects to the House Committee on Information - Charles M Parr, T. Enmet Clarie, Isabel c. Rylander, Harry F. Farnham, William c. Fox, Jr., C. Will jam Janson, Milton M Koskoff, E. Lea Marsh, IT,, Raymond T. McMullen, and Helen w. ZbikoWski. To each and every one in any way contributing to the bro- chure credit is due. "An Outline of Gov ernment in Connecticut" is first-rate reading; it's instructive, it's stimulating.
 MT. Daugherty's illustrations are graphic and typically Connecticut. The text of the several chapters is well-writ- ten, accurate, and informative It isn't a dry treatise that might discourage the reader. It does encourage one to go on and read to the end. And having done that there shouldn't be one of us who won't know more about how our various forms of local government operate. To add to all this the brochure is typograph- ically pleasing to the eye. A well-pre- pared book often does things to the con- tents Here is the rare combination of perfection in both the subject matter and the materials the printer used.

Which Came First?

The age-old query of which came first --the chicken or the egg-noW has it's counterpart as result of question put to one of the contestants in the Dr. l. Q. program on a national radio network Monday night. Whether this is of suffi- cient weight to demand mass meeting or can be solved by the Chamber of Com rnerce writing to the sponsors of the pro- gram is something that our readers can decide in their spare moments But if you're writing to Dr. I. Q. you could call the error to his attention.
 The question, as we recall it was this what town in Connecticut was named for 3 watch? The answer, supplied by Dr. To when the contestant failed to answer, was Waterbury. All of which doesn't please those of us who pride ourselves on our Knowledge of local history According to the cold facts the name Waterbury was adopted when this community was ln- corporated by the General Court of Con- necticut back in 1686 That was twelve years after settlement. During that twelve year span Waterbury was Matta- tuck
 History doesn't mention anything about watches or clocks being made here as early as that As a matter of fact the clock industry dates to the beginning of the 18th century, stemming from Eli Terry's workshop in Plymouth and in- cluding Waterbury in it's spread The invention of the Waterbury watch only goes back to period between 1879 and 1885 when a number of patents were taken out by one D. A. Buck. It was the fore-runner of the Ingersoll, which is definitely twentieth century.
 All of which might be interesting to the research department in back of the pr. 10. programs. There are towns in Connecticut named for the inventors and makers of clocks, such as Terryville (Eli Terry) and Thomaston (Seth Thomas) which would make good radio quiz items, but Waterbury outdates by two centuries the watch which was named for the city, not vice-versa.

An increase in the state gasoline tax as requested in Hartford yesterday would be of tremendous advantage to the State Highway Department in the postwar period, so far as road expansion programs are concerned. Cities and towns ought to be greatly concerned over such taxa tion as this It's the driving that's done around city streets that really makes this form of taxation amount to some thing Waterbury has always been con- cerned over what it received from the state in return for forms of motor taxa ton. Such concern should be continued.

Selected Poem
RESURRECTION

RESURRECTION Gamma Belden in the Poets Corner Hartford
 Times) Why wonder are the dead resigned To sleeping in each narrow bed Why wonder if they realize They're dead? For those who search the Scriptures And believe what there is said Will find the simple truth regards The dead-(PS 115:17) It is stated there so plainly That the dead know not thing They are unaware of summer or Of spring-(Ecc. 9:5) They are quite out of existence And of course they do not know Of daffodils or crocuses or Of snow. (Ecc. 9:10) But we have Gods word of promise And why should this cause surprise The dead who are asleep in Him Will hear His voice Arise! (John 5:25-28 Were 1t not for Gods provision In the death of His dear Son There could be no resurrection of the dead Not one The Christian knows the dead awake To him Gods promise is secure To those who still believe His Word They can be sure!

 It gave a significant indication of why Stalin demands three votes in the United Nations Assembly.
 Stalin amazed the Ambassador with his knowledge of Cuban la bor and economic problems, but talked. as if Cuba were part of the United States. Concheso eX- plained that the Platt Amerd- ment had been abrogated and Cuba now had complete poli- tical freedom. But this made little impression on Stalin. He viewed Cuba as welded to tnt U. S. A. fe. .S@ ', I
 Then he turned to Argen- tina. And with considerable. vehemence, he remarked that. it was about time the United States took Argentina in hand. and forced it to join the Ai- lies. Stahn's eyes flashed when he talked of Argentina and he seemed to believe that the United States had complete control of the entire American continent.
 Ambassador Concheso explained that Argentina was a long way off from the U. s. A. and that the United States took pains to respect the independence of Latin American states. But Stalin seemed unconvinced.
 STALIN'S BORDER STATES
 Since then, evidence mas ill., creased that the Soviet considers D Latin American as a bloc which will always vote with the the United States; (2) Smaller nations close to big power as legitimate satellites of that power.
 For instance, when Winston Churchill visited Moscow last summer, Stalin was very frank in saying that Russia must have a sereis of states on her west ern border-PolAnd, Rumania, Finland-which were friendly to her. He made it'plain that the Soviet would not tolerate for minute a government in these bordering states which did not cooperate with the U. S. s. K.
 Since then, Stalin has changed the government of Rumania whe:. it suited him, has forced the Allies to accept the Polish Lub- lin government, and has caused a government turnover In Fin land.
 So the coldly realistic Stalin figures that the tactics he em- ploys with his neighbors are ern- ployed also by the U. s. A. with its neighbors; and if not, then it's this country's fault. In fact, his only complaint to the Cuban Ambassador was that the United States didn't crack down on Ar gentina.
 16 SOVIET VOTES
 Stalin's views regarding small countries were expressed quite clearly at the closed-door sessions of the Dumbarton Oaks Confer ence. Ambassador Gromyko pointed out that Russia, occupy- ing one-sixth of the earth'S sur- face, would have only one vote, while the British Commonwealth would have six.
 Stettinius replied that the United States, almost as large as Russia, had only one vote and was not complaining. Gro- myko cOuntered with the re- hinder that the United States dominated 20 Latin American republics and could swing 2l votes.
 For a while, the Dumbarton Oaks barley was completely dead- locked. But, finally, Gromyko

FOOD SITUATION IN COUNTRIES 1, MENTAL HOSPITAL, AND ,ES- PECIALLY CONNECTECUT'S
 NO WORSE, AND r. MANY CASES BETTER THAN
 THOSE OUTSIDE
Everett, Mass, April 4. 1945
Editor Waterbury Democrat:

Editor Waterbury Democrat:
 Some Thoughts On Food, is the title of very interesting thesis from the pen of Edgar c. Yerbury, M. D., Superintendent of Connecti- cut State Hospital published in . recent issue of "The Scribe" the hospitals excellent monthly maga- zine. pr. Yerbury clears up 8 lot of matters long troubling the gen. eral public in connection with the food situation. With meats and poultry almost impossible to get in the community how are the patients in State Hospitals faring in these troubled times of great scarcities? AS Dr. Yerbury points out in his article:
 Under the most favorable cir ,cumstances, the planning, prepar- ation and serving of some 10000 meals daily in state hospital such as ours offer problems of no small proportions. It is needless to en- phasize how many times these prob lems have been multiplied as a re- suit of prevailing war conditions.
 Tt may be interesting to note that during the year ending June 90. 194O, the average food cost per person servad dncluding the esti- mated value of farm products) was 20.4 cents per day. By June 30, 1914. the average daily food cost stood ali 22.6 cents per day. For the seven months ended January 3l, l945 the comparable figures had risen to "A cents per day. On the basis of an ticipated appropriations and esti- mated value of farm products to be raised, 1t is expected that the aver age daily food cost for the next two years will be approximately 25 cents per day.
 Since 1895, the cost of food has jumped approximately 8 per cent This means that 1t now requires $1.33 to purchase the same amount of food that could have been bought for $1.00 in 1885. Along with the re. strictions imposed by rationing. this factor more than any other has con- tributed to the hospitals difficulty in meeting its food problems. During this period, the amount of money available to the hospital for making food purchases has not gone up as rapidly as the rise in prices. The re- suit of this lag has been that in or der to bridge the gap between the higher cost of food and its limited budget and still serve an adequate diet,s the hospital has been restrict

ed in many of it's purchases to the less expensive grades"
 The situation at Connecticut State Hospital is typical of most public psychiatric hospitals everywhere. In every State Hospital, to add to the food problem, is the lack of help. At Connecticut Stata, for instance, although Dr. Yerbury'S quota of chefs, cooks and bakers calls for 4G persons, there are at the moment 50 employed only g persons in the various hospital kitchens or just so per cent of the number allowed for maximum efficiency. And to add to the gloomy picture. according to pr. Yerbury, this situation is further complicated by the fact that at pres ent, we have no chef and all food supervision is in the hands of an al. ready -burdened dietitian."
 The Superintendents of our mental hospitals are naturally disturbed by this food ana labor situation. But regardless of the increased cost of food and the difficulty of preparing 1t patients are receiving q sustaining diet. As most state Hospitals con- duct their own dairy and poultry farms things are not as gloomy ax they would otherwise be. Of course, certain kinds of meats are out flor the duration" Yet patisnts will not be allowed to go hungry. There may be more hamburger mixed with cer.. cal than before the war but this will prove no actual hardship. (Ou the back wards where many patients don't know the differe .ice between hamburger and porter house steak 1t won't make much difference any. way).
 It has been this writer's privilege to study some 30 food menus from av many hospitals in all parts of the country and while certain institu. tions appear to be very .'stingy" with certain food items not on tho scarcity list we feel that taken as a whole the country's mental hospit~ als. especially the more progressive ones, are doing very well by their patients. In several instances mental hospital patients seem to eat better than do many persons in the com- munity who because of lack of ra- ton stamps and other reasons do not fare as well as the institution. alized.
