M. over WATR on The Water bury Democrats regular weekly Forum of the Air program.

 The programs schedule calls for lO-minute address by MT. Crute followed by a 15-minute question and answer period during which time the state director will answer pertinent questions put to him. Ordinarily the Waterbury Forum of the Air program-the original pro- gram of its kind in the city-is given to debatable issues with four participants invited.

These men have charged the OPA and other federal agencies with laxity in dealing with the alleged black market present here. Crute has denied these charges citing that according tc freight yard records thousands oi pounds of meat have been shipped to local packing houses.

Opposition Mounts
To Parking Meters

If the general public, including
practically every business man in
Caldwell has his say, there will be
no parking meters for this COM
munity.
Since the news release from the
office of Mayor S. NJ. Secrest that
parking meters were in the offing,
storm of protest was raised from
every source and the battle will be
carried into the chambers of the
council, when they convene the first
Tuesday evening in June.
A survey of the council members
indicates that they will rule against
the proposal, backed by the cham
Der of commerce and other civic or
ganizations:
In spite of the growing opposi-
ton, Mayor Secrest is sticking to his
guns and maintains that meters
around the public square would be
a good thing.

Return o. US. Dead TO Start
This Year; Many From Noble Co.

The GIs who can't be mustered
out will start coming home from
overseas this year to a final state
side biv uac.
They are the dead - men and
women whose names On casualty
lists went toward paying the battle
price of 328,00 lives which World
War II cost the United States.
They'll make their last voyage
home in funeral fleets of white ships
marked from bow to stern with the
purple band Of mourning.
President Truman gave the of
fetal signal for the somber move
ment when he signed legislation pro-
viding for the final burial of the
country's World War II dead. 1t
gives next of kin the choice of having
their service dead return to the
United States for final burial in ma
tional or private cemeteries, or of
having them rest in American ma
tional cemeteries abroad where they
fell
The first of the returning dead
will start reaching American shores
toward Christmas time, the army in
dicated, with arrivals totaling about
1900 monthly in the beginning and
gradually increasing to 18,900.
The homecoming movement would
be underway sooner, the war depart
ment said, but for the fact casket
makers have been unable to meet de-
livery schedules due to their inabil-
ity to obtain sufficient steel.
The responsibility for the last
mass movement of soldiers and sail
ors in the second World Wars final
chapter. has been given the war de-
partment quartermaster corps. The
legislation instructs that it be car
ried out within five years, but Major
Gen. T. B. Larkin, the quartermaster
general, expects it to be finished in
less.
The return to the United States of
46,310 hero dead of the first World
War began in 1920 and was COM
pleted in 1922. 1t involved an ex-
penditure of about $2O,OOO,OOO in
Guiding the establishment of eight
cemeteries for those permanently in
TERED overseas. The number who
lost their lives in 1917-18 was 1901.
The present legislation, which in
wolves a cost of between $195,000,-
900 and $215,000,00O provides for the
return, if desired by next of kin of
the bodies of all military personnel,
civilians employed by the U. S. gov
ernment or attched to the armed
forces-Red Cross workers, war cor
respondents and others-who died
since Sept. 3, 1889, the date of the
limited national emergency.
1t includes, too, all citizens of the
United States who served in the
armed forces of any government at
war with Germany, Italy, or Japan,
and died while in that service.
The war department will start
canvassing next of kin regarding
their wishes in the next few weeks.

In Memory

In loving memory Of our dear son,
Pfc Charles Byron Tarleton, who
gave the last full measure of devo-
ton near Anzio, Italy, two years ago
today, May 19, 1914.
Today recalls sad memories
Of our dear one gone to rest,
The ones who think of him today
Are the ones who loved him best.
Life goes on with many changes
Friends are kind and God is near,
But our hearts are sad and lonely
For the one we loved so dear.
The days will pass into years
But still your vacant place
We will never erase the memory
Of the smile upon your face.
