since May, l044, and served in North Africa, and various battle zones with a medical detachment of the 340th Infantry regiment, Italy. Following the cessation of hoStIlitIes in the European theater, he was assigned to Q post close to the Austrian bor- der.
 He was recently awarded the Oak Leaf cluster to the Bronze Star medal for heroic achievement in action on April i7, iD4b near Furs coli, Italy. The citation reads:
 Corp. Sullivan displayed unusual heroisr1 in going through German lines to evacuate wounded soldiers, When company III" had taken c house beyond Furcoli Ridge, the in- tense German fire caused casualties among the men. Corp. Sullivan with another aid man started for the house, three hundred yards within enemy territory. A heavy mortar barrage showered them with rocks and debris, but the two men totally disregarding tileir own danger, con- tinued on.
 "JuSt before they reached the house, German machine guns stop. ped them. and the enemy soldiers took them prisoner. After the two aid men insisted that they Dc al- lowed to go free to take care Of their wounded, the German com. nander finally consented to lot them 60. Having quickly treated the injured soldiers, Corp, Sullivan started out with . litter squad but was again Seisod by the enemy. After some argument, tho Germans agreed to let him and the litter squad 90 in exchange for two Ger. man aid men held by Company 'd' His courage and devotion to his comrades brought urgently needed aid to fellow soldiers in spite Of his capture by the enemy.
 "The heroisn of Corp. Sullivan has won the praise of all who know of his deed and reflects great credit upon himself and upon the military service.

Fear Increase .OfPoIioCoses In Conn.
 Epidemies Recorded
 ln YeoFs of
 1916, I93l

More poliomyelitis may occur in Connecticut this year thar in the past few years, stated Eugene n, LamoureuX, M, D., epldemiologist in the current Connecticut State Dee partment of Health bulletin. This observation Is based on the fact that the number of cases of this disease reported to the department through July Sl, ie4b, was greater than the number reported for the same period of time for any year since 1916, except for 1916 and 1881, both of which were epidemic years,
 There is no need for alarm from this indication of the trend toward poliomyelltiS in Connecticut, con- tihued pr, Lamoureux, but 1t is well to keep this possibility in mind, and to make necessary preparations to combat 1t.
 Poliomyelitis has had two epic demic peaks In Connecticut since this disease was made reportahle in 1916. These occurred in 1916 and 1881, Between the two epidemic years, there was fifteen year in- terVal during which smaller peaks of eases occurred every three years, with on upward trend in cases, From 1881 to the present, there hos been 0 decline in the death rate from this disease, but there has also been Q greater number of polio- inyelitls cases occurring at intervals of every other year, instead of every three years. In io45 the trend indi- eating on upward swing of cases suggests the possibility of another epidemic in the near future. Time will determine whether the ib-year period between epidmies will hold.

The Fred Douglas Home issue is

al Association of Colored women.
During a meeting of the major
boards and committees of the or
ganization here, Mrs. A. B. DeMent,
NACW president, presented a re-
port of the consolidated committee
of the major boards that urged the
trustees of the Douglass home to
define the status of the National
Association of Colored women.
The boards have come to an
agreement with the trustees of the
Douglass home, Mrs. DEMENT, said,
but legal advice must be sought to
clarity several issues. The control of

new HOPE
By Jesse NimmOms

With new hopes we must face the
day. The world will not get very
far without the efforts of good peo-
Pile. Though the way be dark as
night; there is one to- guide the
humble.
Trust in God and do the right
Men may love thee; Some may flat
ter; Some may alight. Cease from
self and look above thee. Trust in
God and do the right.
When we do good to others it
helps to make them good. Man is
not their keeper, they are ruled by
right or wrong or they are ruled by
the tide of unthoughtfulness. Not
able to defend their thoughts that
God, made all mankind to dwell
here on earth together.
With new hopes we will have a
new day. Why follow the old trial,
it only leads to more WARS suffer
ing and heart aches.

Appalling Waste

The needless waste of life and property in
Germany as a result of the leadership of
madmen is appalling AS if the fact that many
cities and towns have been reduced to rubble
or. lie in ashes, from Berlin down, Himmler
now issues an order that no city, town or
village in the Reich shall be declared "open,"
and adds that a German man responsible
for the defense OF place who does not fol-
low this order loses his honor and his life -
Nothing is left for the assaulting armies
of the Allies to do but continue the ruthless
destruction OF every inhabited community
along their route to Berlin in which the peo-
pie see fit to obey the Himmler decree. With
bomb and shell the terrible destruction must
60 on until organized German resistance ends
With defeat Of their armies near, it is con-
ceivable however, that cities will wisely de-
eide to accept capture without opposition, as
several have already done, and take their
chance of surviving under Allied protection.
Himmler's hand is powerless in areas be-
hind the Allied lines. His agents cannot wreak
vengeance upon surrendered communities.
They may commit isolated murders as is
claimed for the werewolfs and other fanatical
groups, but no widespread retribution can be
visited upon areas occupied by our armies.

Any Time Now

Stalin's order for Russian drive across
the Oder for junction with the American Ninth
Army in Berlin may have been issued before
this newspaper reaches it's readers.
The Russians on the east are Cor were)
but thirty miles from the Reich capital. The
Ninth, having crossed the Elbe, had stimuli
taneously reached a point only fifty-seven
miles away on the west. If an unverified
French report is true, American paratroops
had landed at Brandenburg, twenty miles
from greater Berlin.
If it is the Allied plan to declare the war
in Germany ended, save for guerrilla fight
ing, when this junction is effected the out
side world may expect to hear the electifying
news at any time now.
However gratifying it will be, there is an
underlying feeling of deep sorrow that Presi-
dent Roosevelt could not have been spared
to hear it and share a war-weary world S
rejoicing.

Danger OF Epidemics

AS the war in Europe nears it's end an
army Of liberated slaves who have been over
worked and underfed by the Germans is Gre
eting a major problem for Allied forces and
agencies in occupied areas of the Reich.
1t is not only that they are too numb to
take care of themselves and incapable of re-
turning to their former homelands without
substantial help of dozen kinds Their physi-
cal resistance is so low there is imminent
danger of epidenics among them.
No accurate count has been and probably
cannot be taken, but some estimates place
their number roughly at 10000, 00O 1t is easy
to see that epidemic diseases would create
terrible havoc among them if they gained
foothoId In their ranks, whether this total IS
approximately accurate or not.
Having lived for the most part in filth,
without sanitary projections, weakened to the
point of collapse, they would be easy prey
for typhus particularly.
It is not only the disposition OF military
prisoners and the establishment OF local gov.
ernrnents that present tremendous problems
for the Allies. These twenty million persons.

more or less, who can do nothing for them
selves, who are as helpless mentally and
physically as newborn infants pose 4 prob
lem of immense magnitude.
It can only be hoped that UNRRA is cap
able Of performing the task of their rehabili-
tation. They must be restored, that the ma
tons from which they came and to which
they ought to be returned can take their
normal place in the business Of a world al
ready too sadly decimated by combat. The
loss of any large percentage Of twenty mil
lion potential workers would constitute a
grave impeachment in world recovery.
