Washington, March 29.-(UP)-I The four power military government which will run Germany Is designed for eventual conversion to a civilian Allied high commission, the United Press was informed authoritatively today.
 It may be a long time-many years anyway, and some predict as much as generation-before such change will be possible or desir- able. But plans already have been made to make the change when the time comes.
 The military government for Ger many, to be run jointly by the United States, Great Britain, Soviet Russia and France, is ready to step in the minute the fighting stops. If the Nazis decide on any last ditch stand in the Bavarian Alps, the military government may take over in northern Germany even before all resistance is crushed elsewhere. Details of the plan were revealed to the United Press as follows:
 At the top-with supreme com- mand over everything-will be the Allied control commission for Ger many which was agreed upon at the | Crimea conference. It will be cor11- posed of the commanding generals of the big four. It will sit in Ber- lin and have the final word on the treatment of the German people, control of German industry and ad- ministration of the essential gov- ernmental services. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower Is expected to be the United States representative on this commission. It will for all practical purposes act as the head of the state. It is this body which even tually will be transformed into an Allied civilian high commission.
 In the middle will be a coordi- mating commission-actually work ing committee It will be composed of military officers of lower rank who will represent the four zones of occupation and attempt to CO., ordinate the general policy in the different zones.
 The central military government in Berlin will include another series of commissions for each of the for mer German ministries. Many of the ministries will be abolished for example. there will be no fur ther use for ministries of defense, munitions. aviation or Joseph Goeb- bels' ministry of propaganda and enlightenment. But foreign affairs will have to be continued.
 Some of the ministries will be composed of four generals-one from each of the occupying nations but in practice it may be found more convenient at such level to have just one man responsible Some of them may be civilians, too.
 The foreign affairs ministry for certain will be composed of four civilians with the rank of ambaSsa- dor Robert Murphy, political ad- visor to Eisenhower on German af- fairs, will be the U. s. representa- tive-the U. s. foreign minister" for Germany. He has just returned to Germany after last-minute consul tations here on instructions for his difficult task ahead.
 American officials do not discount the probably difficulties head in try ing to run a country like Germany by four-poWer conMnissions-com-

missions which speak three differ ent languages in addition to the language of the country they will be administering.
 They admit that the job of get- ting agreement on the day to day problems will truly be a major test of Allied unity at one of the most critical stages in history. It may de- termine whether Germany can be redirected and reducated into a peace loving nation or whether through failure to make the four power control system work the seedS of another war will be planted.

PROPOSED GAS
 TAX PROTESTED
Hector Maggia, President of BOttIers Association
 Records Objection

Middletown, March 2o-"We, in Connecticut, must do something as well as talk against needless and ex- cessive taxes, said Hector Maggia. Central Village. President Connec- ticut Bottlers Association, in urging representatives of large groups of taxpayers to attend the gas tax in- crease hearing set for p. n1., We'd nesday, April .4th, before the Joint Legislative Finance Committee at the State Capitol.
 You seldom hear anyone talk nowadays, but what they say a great deal about taxes, stated MT. Maggia. "All patriotic citizens gladly pay the necessary, though exceed- ingly heavy Wa rTaxes, but it Is an entirely different story with refer ence to increased state taxes in war time, and especially taxc of such a qustionable necessity anytime" he added. We all know the war stopped the construction of everything but vitally needed facilities for war pro- duction. We all also know the con- struction of highways can not be resumed until after the war emerg- ency is over. This Is the provision of Federal Law. Tt is almost trite," he added. ito say we do not need to raise taxes to secure funds that can not possibly be spent now Why any, one would propose such an unnec- essary thing Is beyond me and most citizens" MT. Maggia added. Just complaining will do no good" he said. '"The sponsors of this tax in- crease have attempted to lead the legislature to believe 1t must be passed or we will revert to horse and buggy days, and in the mud at that

City's Airport Bond
 Measure Facing Delay
Committee May Accept Suggested PrOvisO; Various
 Pension Bills Reported 'DOOmed'

(earmark) funds which could never be used as in the case of Water bury's proposed airport in Wolcott. Sen. Wallace agreed but asked that the committee insert a clause in the bill whereby the appropriated funds would be valid tor use only for a certain length of time. If at the end of that time the city is unable to make use of them they will reve-y pack to the fund. It seems likely that such a procedure will be adopted and the local bill passed
 Under suspension of rules the senate yesterday approved the citys requested $750,O00 bond issue for construction of a sewage disposal plant
 The senate also approved another Waterbury bill which exemptS from the city's five per cent debt limita- ton the Pitch reservoir and second pipe line water bonds of SLABS. 900. authorized by the 194l assembly.
 Reports state that the proposed probation of11ce bill whereby the focal probation ofIlcer would have his salary increased from $2,60O to $3, 500 would not receive favorable consideration from the committee. It is felt, it is said, that the cur- rent salary is sufficient.
 Favorable view is expected this afternoon from the committee on forfeited rights on the requests of Thomas Shanahan and John Crary of this city that their rights be re- stored.
 Reports from Capitol Hill state that none of the pension bills sub mitted relative to city employees will be passed. At present there are three bills as submitted by the ad- ministration, by a group of general employees and one by policemen and firemen. Because of the intricacies of all it is said that nothing will come forth.
 The city's proposed assessors bill is also earmarked for delay at this time until further consideration can be given the matter by the ! committee.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-03-29
,By Citys Legislative Reporter)

Waterbury's proposed 970O, 900 airport bond bill has been held up by the finance committee due to the discovery of technical errors in the wording of the revised bill as compared with the original bill and not necessarily because of the be- lief that the airport condemnation land bill will not be passed.
 The original bill first submitted by the administration and then withdrawn as another bill was sub- Stituted calling for less funds was discovered to differ in paragraph 3 from comparable paragraph of the revised bill therefore causing the final bill to be unsuitable in part.
 Although the question was brought up as to the feasibility of passing such an appropriation without first determining whether the condemnation bill would be passed, its concern was secondary following the accepted suggestion of Sen. Patrick Wallace (D) that the local bill be passed with terms of the appropriation contingent on the successful passage of the con- demnation bill.
 The latter is the one whereby municipalities seek authority to condemn land in other towns for purposes of establishing airports. It does not seem likely that such a bill will be passed. In view of this Rep. Mrs. Isabel c. Rylander (R- Litchfield) brought up the reason- able conjecture If it 1ould not ap- pear DOT business to appropriate The facts prove conclusively enough revenues will b eavailable from pres ent tax rates to construct a super grand system of roads proposed un- der the so-called Ffve-Year Plan. We taxpayers must be on hand at the hearing on this question in suf- ficient force to leave no doubt in the legislators minds as to the de- sire of the great majority of Con- necticut people to leave the gasoline tax where 1t is. The people are the government. Let us make our wishes known" he added.

But there are also more tangible hold overs.
 It has been demonstrated recently that meats and walls still present quite prob lem to modern assault forces, and that a big sling shot is excellent for grenade ehrowing Now comes word that, on suc- cessive nights, German forces were i'm pelled to surrender to Scottish and Ca nadian troops by the sound of bakpipes playing in the forest on dark, wet, dis nal night.
 In the supercharged darkness of a battle night, the Shrill sound of the pipes might well strike terror to the hearts of the master race and fill their minds with whostly fears, just as it has to Scotland's other enemies for the last thousand years or SO. So it seems that the bagpipe has lost none of its effectiveness as an instru- ment of what is now called psychological warfare. And it's persuasion may be enhanced by the common knowledge that the Scots usually fight in a manner that makes their music's initial terrifying in- preSSion lasting one.

stable is seldom so. The reason IS that the weather vane on the stable registers only superficial ground currents while the weather vane on the dwelling house registers prevail ing winds.
 We observe the same thing as we sift the opinions of our fellows. Some men seem to arrive at their conclusions on the basis of certain fixed principles; others, on the basis of expediency. The people who judge according to principle are like the weather vane fastened on the high peak of the dwelling house; the peo- pie who follow expediency are like the weather vane on the low-lying stable. The former catch those great currents of truth which sweep through the universe, while the late ter register only the opinion which prevails for the moment, the pass tug fancy, the fad of the hour.
 Int high weather vane and the low are to be found in every family group, every club, business organiza- tion school, and church in the land. The lives of some tower high and point to eternal verlties; the lives of others never reach above the stables of life, and never register anything but gusty currents.

Great Days Ahead

'. Public officials are taking the pulse of Father Waterbury these days. It seems normal, but actually it ought to be ac- celerated. There would appear to be greater days ahead for the Brass City, the now-thriving metropolis of the Nau- gatuck Valley. Of course, it's popular to make plans for community-building after the war! What city isn't doing something like this? But Waterbury does not want to be left standing when the war ends and the race for materials and men to work with them starts. It believes that the well-prepared munici- pality will go the furthest, last the long, est.
 True, we don't know too much of the Waterbury of the future that is being drawn upon planners desks and put into draftsmen's blueprints. A Smatter- ing of what may come, now and then crops out of the newspaper headlines. There is talk of roads, river, and bridges; we hear of an airport, of sewage dis posal plant, or an incinerator There are many such hints, but it remains to be seen what actually is contemplated and what weapons are at hand to meet the test.
 What citizens naturally will want to know more about in time to come is how the various improvements will benefit their individual cases. They will in- quire as to the need for various types of work. They will want to know where the money is coming from and what ef- feet a lot of postwar work is going to have on tax rates. Most of this can be answered; some, city officials will tell you, can't be explained until the post war period is on us. Such will probably be the extent of cooperation between city, state, and federal government on various types of public works
 This much seems clear, however, on the basis of what we have read, have heard, and have elicited from public officials. Every effort is being made to tie to- gether logical, progressive program of construction and one of financing that will not mortgage the future of any of us. This can be done, because Water bury's financial condition today is a sound one. Its credit is good; it's reputa- tion is established. Those are assets to begin with that any city must have. Too much cannot be said about preserving them.

A Picture of Merit

A picture that has beer showing since the end of December had recent show ing in our own city. In these days of pictures of great merit this stands out as one of the finest films of the year judged on it's own merits as well as sincerely presenting the story of Roman Cath olic priest in the missionary field In China. It has been generally agreed by the secular anG Catholic press that the picture was finely directed; and that for the most part the characters were clev- erly chosen.
 There were occasional objections on points of Catholic doctrine in A. s. Cronin'S book which appeared several years ago. In the filming there was very little to cause similar disapproVal, so 1t has been stated in an excellent article which appeared recently in the Jesuit weekly, America" written by Louis E. Sullivan, s. J.
 The picture, judged by it's own merits as a picture, was tremendously appeal ing in the story it had to tell. The char acteriZationS were excellent. In fact, those of Gregory Peck as Father Francis Chisholm, and Rosa Stradner as Mother Maria-Ve Veronica will live long in the memory. The story carries sad strain throughout, but in the filming was not punctuated by too much sentimentality. Father Chisholm was the humble, self effacing priest, winning your approval from the start. There was plenty of drama in the story enfolded, and it was satisfying to see the parts so smoothly played. The action was even and the Situations nicely timed in the style of tracing life of self-sacrifice beginning at its close, then going back through the medium of the diary to the beginning of things We have been writing of "The Keys of the Kingdom" picture of great appeal and merit.

Views Of The Press

find on our list of things to come National Cheese Day, during which everybody is supposed to honor the occasion by munching a bit of cheese. Or 1t might be apples. oranges, cahew nuts or fllberts. The necktie, greeting card. confection- cry and floral industries have an advantage in the matter. They can use the indirect approach. Take neckties. A National Necktie Day would be silly. But how about Fathers Day? The Old Man gets plenty of free praise and as a by product gets neckties. Ma gets the candy and flowers on Mothers Day. so everybody is happy, including the merchants.
 AS for Old Maids Day, 1t is even
