YOUTHFUL LEADER AT YALE UNIV.

October 25 1946
 There's a new, dynamic per sonality rising on the intel lectual horizon of a young Ne gro America and her name is Miss Rena J. Wellers, Yale Di- vinity School student and 25 year old daughter of Rev. and Mrs. s. W. Weller of Water bury, Conn.
 Miss Weller, who is in her final year of residence toward her Yale Ph.D. has from Teachers College, New Britain, Drew University, Madison, N. J. and Yale Divinity School respectively, Bachelor of Edu- cation, Master of Arts and Bachelor of Divinity degrees.
 As an officer in the christian education deparmtent of the AME Zion denomination, she has recently returned from Europe, where 30 of 40 na- tions in the Worlds Student Christian Federation met in two worlds conferences on the "fu- ture of Christianity.
 At the conferences she repre- scented such interracial organi- cations as the United Christian Student Council, the United Christian Youth Movement and the World Sunday School Assn.
 Her European trip carried her through Switzerland, Bel gium, Holland, England and France.
 In a discourse on her Flu ropean observations at Varick AME. Zion church recently, Miss Weller held a mixed audi ence totally absorbed for 45 interesting minutes. This young lady is gifted with an enviable fuency of speech, easy deli very, elOquence and a pene- tratng analytical mind which may well elevate her into na- tional prominence Gas MT. Dooley Wilson would say) "as time goes on".
 Says Miss Weller anent the world outlook for the Christian movement:
 Among students and young people, Christian forces are as powerful as they have ever been, but the outcome of the human struggle Is uncertain as we look at the world scene in terms of political, economic and social tensions.
 "The uncertainty, however,

THIS & THAT
By Walter Wendall

u0r0 are SOIHc pOOp1c HI IulS world who seem to have a marked ability to be public nuisances and to create ene- mics right and left. Of course there are many reasons for this and I therefore have no intention of trying to outline them all in this column. But because one of the most i'm portant thing in this life is the ability to get along with other people, I do want to mention few ways that I feel are help ful.
 I am sure at sometime you have met MT. or Mrs. Wind bag. Individuals who act as though they have some kind of mechanical contraption at tached to their mouths that prevent their ever closing them. Unless they can be the center of all conversations and disputing the opinions of ev- eryone else, they are very un- happy.
 These people make great sport out of telling other people they are wrong. And when they tell them, they try to make it as caustic and as humiliating as possible.
 These people do not seem to recognize the fact that there is no man or woman who really enjoys being told that they are wrong; because it does some thing to their ego. Their first reaction is to go on the de- fense, with the major objec- tive to save their face, rather than be convinced. That is why so many normal conversa- tions when improperly con- ducted can turn into bitter feuds.
 There is no reason in the world why you should not con- vey correct information to others. But there is every req son why you should be courte- ous and considerate in the con- veyance of your opinion. In other words, in so many in- stances, it is not what you say to people, but how you say 1t.
 Then I think it is reasonable to conclude that the first step in becoming unpopular and de- veloping enemies is to talk in- cessantly and never give the other fellow an opportunity to express his opinion. The sec ond step is, to go around criti- cising other people and taking advantage of every opportu- nifty that is afforded you to be- little them and show off your knowledge or importance. And the third is to be too aggress- i've. By too aggressive I mean those individuals who seem to utterly lack any of the element

 The Treasury daily statement showed that there is 8 surplus of $11 ,375, ,OOO, compared with a $57,- 100000 deficit on the previous day.
 The explanation was-high in- come tax receipts. On two success sive days in September the state ment had showed a surplus for the first time in about 16 years.
 At one time in the current fiscal year which opened July 1, the deficit exceeded $2,0O0, ,000, 900. Heavy. quarterly payments of in- come and corporate taxes, however, pared it down.
 Despite today's showing, the lat- est budget revision estimates that by the close of the financial year June 30. there will be 6 deficit of q, 900, ,O00, 900.

Byrnes Says Yugoslavia To Sign Italian Treaty
Confident Big 4 to Find Agreement

Paris, Oct. 16 - (UP) - Secre- tary of State James F. Byrnes said today he believed the Peace Con- ference had more than justified it. self and predicted that Yugoslavia will accept the Italian treaty des- pite her walkout yesterday.
 Byrnes told a press conference just before departing for Washing ton that he was confident the Big Four foreign ministers could find agreement in their New York meet ing Nov. f.
 He will reach Washington tomor- row morning and give a radio re- port to the American people Friday night.
 Asked about Vice-Premier Ed ward Kardelj's refusal to attend the final Conference session, Byrnes said he could understand how 8 man such as Kardelj with very |strong views could take such an &C., tion. He added that time was s great healer, and expressed con- f1dence that Yugoslavia would change her views after the New York talks.
 Do you think this Conference has damaged international rela- tions?" Byrnes was asked.
 Byrnes said he did not see any damage. He said the difference had long existed, but became apparent because they were discussed pub licly here. The full publicity given the Conference was a good thing, he said. Some delegates believe it hindered agreements.
 He expressed regret that some countries still lacked free press, so their people cannot lesrn the views of other countries. He was obviously referring to the Soviet Union and other eastern states.
 'Teh day of peace-making by a few menin closed room is gone, Byrnes said He added that despite some of it's disadvantages, he would press for full publicity in future Peace Conferences.

Strengthening at Municipal Abattoir Reported Higher
100 Cattle, 300
 Lambs Killed,
 Recalled for Sale

Nearly 100 slaughtered cattle and 300 lambs were waiting at the Municipal Abattoir today for re- moval to local butcher shops, and the increased slaughtering activity indicated that many meat-hungry Waterburians will have feast by Sunday.
 Monday, 28 head of cattle were slaughtered at the local abattoir and yesterday the number increased to 65, it was reported by the city Health Department. A larger amount was expected today and later in the week.
 The livestock came from New York, and Massachusetts, as well as from local farmers. One meat deal CT reported that some of his stock came from Kansas City.
 War Among Selves
 While wholesalers awaited arrival of Western meat supplies, the local livestock dealers, eager to sell out their supplies and obtain more, en- tered into price warfare among themselves.
 Said one South Main Street deal CT, who started moving his supplies to the public this morning, "I'm charging 65 cents pound for steak not $1.75 like His price is robbery"
 Among the local dealers who have taken advantage of the re- moval of slaughtering controls and have increased supplies waiting at the abattoir are: Patsy Orapallo of 1899 South Main Street, Joseph Antonelli of 1869 South Main Street, Joseph Dorfman of 268 Cooke Street, Abraham Rosenberg of 1455 South Main Street, and Simon Korkin of 40 Columbia Boulevard.
 No Increase Reported
 MT. Rosenberg revealed today that he will have 60 cattle by the end of the week. Twenty head have al- ready arrived from Kansas City, he said.
 He stated further that he was getting his stock at the same price he paid last week, and that there was no need for raising prices. I'm not charging any more. It wouldn' t be fair to the public," he said.
 Reports that some dealers were taking advantage of the public's hunger began to trickle in, however. One restaurateur disclosed he had to pay 79 cents 8 pound for two lambs, tbone included.
 A housewife reported she bought some hamburger today at 89 cents a pound.
 Lamb Supplies Adequate
 The 300 head of lamb, already slaughtered here, will be supple mented by even larger amount to- day and tomorrow, it was indicated Connecticut lamb supplies were re- ported to be very adequate.
 PasserSby made reports today of seeing carloads of live lamb pass through the city. A report that one large wholesale house received 8 shipment was unconf1rmed. Some was reported heading for Torring- ton.
 Meat supplies from the west are expected to arrive at local whole sale houses by next Monday.
 The local abattoir slaughterine was reported 60 percent higher al- ready, and 1t was predicted that the activity would increase sharply. All stock now at the slaughterhouss will be on the market forfthe week end, 1t was reported.

Where Did Goering Get Cyanide?
 Answer Sought
 By Authorities
 At Nuernberq

Nuremberg, Oct. 16-UP) "A three-man U. s. Army board opened an investiga- tion today of how Hermann Goering managed to cheat the hangman by gulping poi son just before 10 fellow Nazis marched to the gallows in the parade he was SUD- posed to lead.
 There were indications that unidentified persons who might know where and when Goering got his vial of potas- sium cyanide were being called in for questioning by the Army board.
 A spokesman for the Nuremberg prison commandant'S office when asked if Frau Emmy Goering were suspected of giving Goering the poison when she visited him last
 "AS far as am concerned, Mrs. Goering is in the clear"
 Bodies Spirited Secretly
 Through the secrecy which the Army maintained over the hanging of the Nazi chieftains, signs were seen that soon after they died in the dark, hours after midnight, their bodies were spirited secretly to whatever disposal the Allies plan ned to avoid establishing any "shrines" for fanatics.
 Just before dawn two closed and covered trucks sped away from a back gate of the prison. Lacking ofhcial confirmation, the possibility was seen that they carried the bodies.
 Maj. Frederick Teich, operations officer for the commandant's office would say only that he was mot l in position to say" whether bodies had been taken from Nuremberg. None of the bodies, not even Goering's, was subjected to autopsy, Teich said, and he added none would be.
 No Action Reich said he did not know from whom the Army Investigating board had taken statements. He did say that no action had been taken against either the prison com mandant. Col. Burton c. Andrus, or the unidentified guard on duty at Goering's cell door when he took the poison.
 He said he assumed the boards findings would be ready in couple 1 of days. He expected it to report either to the four Allied generals who superintended the executions, or to the Allied Control Council in Berlin.
 Three penciled notes which Goer- | ing left were kept secret by off, cials. They were in an envelope from which Goering was supposed to have snatched the brass cartridge container with its vial of poison when he suddenly slipped his hands under his bed covers last night. In his opinion, Teich said, Goer- ing could have had the poison ever since he was taken into custody, ueSplIe Qa1ly SedfCileS.
 Shakedown Prefunctory The cartridge container was a metal cylinder about two and half inches long and three quarters of an inch in diameter, plugged at either end and containing a glass vial with the potassium cyanide.
 Teich said the daily shakedown of prisoners belongings was more or less perfunctory from day to day I can't say how thorough the search was yesterday" The man who was outside Goer- ing's cell was of today. The prison sentinels at the cell doors custom arily were on duty two hours and off four for "A hours, with the next N of.

Jackson Says Goering Missed Martyr's Role

ness of his whole cunning and crafty, always outwitting somebody, bullying and coward ly."
 Jackson said the real signifi- canoe of the event lies in its effect in Germany, because Goering was the only one of the NaI war criminals on whom a martyr myth might have been founded.
 'The gallows offered him the most effective platform from which to impress his sympa- thizers with the depth of his conviction and his selflessness for the cause" Jackson said, but he lacked the character"
 Jackson said the less famous defendants, died more courage ously than Goering.
