MONsTGNOR HAYES
(Hartford Courant)

Nk4akbkVfo NVbkAAAV
 The Right Reverend MonSignor John J. Hayes, who has just been elevated to the rank of domestic prelate of the Roman Catholic Church, early in life displayed qualities of scholarship that were Q portent of success in whatever pro- fession he might choose to follow. These qualities were soon recognized by the late Bishop McAuliffe, who appointed the young priest as as- siStant chancellor of the diocese and his own secretary. Tn this lat- ter role Monsignor Hayes, accom-. anying Bishop McAuliffe in the performance of the many religious ceremonies incumbent upon @ bishop, became well known through out the State. In June of this year Bishop Henry J. OBrien appointed him chancellor to succeed the Right ReVerand Monsignor William H. Flynn when the latter was appointed rector of St. Joseph's Cathedral.
 Monsignor Hayes, who was born in 1906, is still c young man. In addition to that he has more than ordinary vigor. The Hartford Diocese has in the past provided c reser- voir of spiritual leadership that has been felt in many other sections of the country. Tn view of his youth, vigor and the rapidity with which he has already risen, 1t is not ul- thinkable that Motsignor Hayes will in the years to come increasingly make his spiritual leadership felt.
 The Courant congratulates Mon- signor Hayes on his elevation to a prelacy, and the Roman Catholic Diocese of Hartford in making still further use of spiritual leader of e type that will be needed more and more iil the trying days ahead.

minstrative work They perform all the ouIles ol the city council the mayor and other city officials This is requiring the services of great many off cers and enlisted men and still the job isn't being done satisfactorily reports indicate.
 The British technique Is producing better re" suits 1t is said and requiring only fraction of the troops the Americans are using They, too, have purged city offices of Nazs and have installed oif- cials whom they think they can trust. The policy and rules on how things are to be run are handed the new officials and they are told to go ahead A small British governing unit keeps aloof or actual administrative matters but watches closely to see that they are conforming to overall policy. The result is better cooperation from the Germans who are docie anyway, and the need of relatively small occupation force
 Serious friction is said to exist among three groups in the occupation forces The civil affairs of ficers aren't getting along with the former tactical officers who have been given administrative jobs in the occupation program And the military person. nel resents the civilian officials from the State De. pertinent The civil affairs officers who were trained for their iobs are getting practically no promotions.

MIR. PETRILLO'S DEMANDS
 
(Hartford Timeg)


 James 0. Petrilio's latest order to the broadcasting industry, that sta- tons broadcasting programs sinul- taneously over both standard and FM wave systems shall have twice as many musicians as are needed for one system, is Q penalizing move that will do the musicians no good and will anger the public.
 It means, in the case of broad. casting station that has been send- ing out c symphony concert, say by an orchestra of 100 members, that there must be standing-by another 100 musicians, fully paid, who of course will not play. because they could not be the orchestra for which they are standing -by. If the brcadcasting station does not agree to this duplication of personnel 1t must put q different program on one or the other outlet. The Sta- tions which have been ordered by Mir. Petrillo to meet his demands will present programs of recordings on their frequency-modulation cir- cults.
 Thus FM listeners, whose receiV- ing sets deliver music without itn- pairment despite electrical storms,

are being made by officials re- turning from Germany.
 American civil affairs officers are trying to do too much in the way of governing the German people in the U. s. zone, they say, U. s. authorities have purged all local governments of Nazi of- sicials and have appointed new ones. But instead of letting the new officials take over and do the job, they are being used mere ly as a front. The American offi- cers are trying to do all the ad-

But he didn't specify which 80
