THE WATERBURY DEMOCRAT WATERBURY, CONN., TUESDAY, JULY 6 1946

the executive board meeting in Washington next Thursday was scheduled before Hillman's death, but that it would, be safe as- sumption that a successor to Hill man would be discussed. No One Big Enough The feeling here seems to be that Hillman and Murray are of the same cloth, and that no one else, at this time, appears big enough to fill the job of co-ordinating the efforts of the most powerful or ganized labor bloc in politics.
 Numerous names have been men, toned for the FAC. post such as James P. Carey, secretary treasurer of the C.IO.; Albert Fitzgerald, president of the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers Union; L. s. Buckmaster, president of the Rubber Workers; Emil Rieve, head of the Textile Workers; Walter c. Reuther, president of the Automo- bile Workers and his vice-president. R. J. Thomas.
 Reuther and Thomas staged knockdown fight over the presi- dency of the JAW, however, and some bitterness resulted. So, for the most part, they have been elim- mated as candidates.
 Others In Running
 Other names include Van A. Bittner, vice-president of the Steel Workers Union which Murray heads: and John Green. president

 Reporotions In Germany

Frankfurt, July 16-CUP)-The whole matter of German repara- tions in the American occupation zone was under review today with a sview to basic changes in policy If Russia persists in alleged viola tions of the Potsdam provisions for payment.
 Edwin w. Pauley, personal rep resentative of President Truman on separations, disclosed that a study of possible changes in the repara- tions attitude began some time ago. The action followed what he described as reported incidents" in the Russian occupation zone which presaged Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov's reparations stand at the Paris meeting.
 Swinging through Germany and Austria for a quick look at the separations situation. Pauley blunt ly charged that Russia was violat- ing the Potsdam Agreement with regard to what is to be taken from Germany.
 Basieally the dispute revolves around Russian demands on cur rent production in Germany before essential imports are paid for. That
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-07-16

is against the terms lAid down at Potsdam nearly a year ago, he said. Pauley said the Russians had been asked for accountings of the removal of consumer goods from Germany, but had not furnished any. While the alleged drain on Germany by the Soviets had been going on, the Americans have been taking United States products into their occupation zone to keep it going, he said.
 The disparity of circumstances in the various occupation zones was the main talking point in the in sistence at Paris by Secretary of State James Byrnes that Germany be fused into single economic unit. He said the United States was ready to join any or all the

It's about time the Ameracin peo- pie everywhere woke up and acted. Nothing has been done since V-J day for the boys we sent of with cheers during the war Look at Congressman Mays case and the atomic control bill. for instance. How are we going to induce other nations to abolish the atomic bombs when we won't do so ourselves. I think everyone should write their own Congressmen and demand that the Atomic Control Bill 1774 De brought before the house for debate, When our office-holders want t. evade an issue, they go on vacation. And another thing, if you speak the truth, as I've done here, you're con- sidered a radical"

The same would hold true for Former Mayor F. H. La Guar dia, or Former Secretary of Inter for Harold L. IckeS.
 Murray was in New York last week to attend Hillman's funeral. He delivered in eulogy to his old friend and said the greatest tri- bute to Hillman would be for the CI.O. to carry on his policies and principles.
 Before leaving for Washington Saturday. Murray was reported to have had conferences with other CI.O. leaders, but he flatly re- fused to comment on Hillman's successor or the meeting of the C.1O. executive board.

there's still unemployment - even among veterans. My buddies, who want to go on to college, have been told they can't get in until 1948. That's far too long for them to wait. And another thing, veterans from other states come home to a nice sum of money. Connecticut is a pretty rich state. Why can't we have a veterans bonus? I'm not the only one who feels this way.

 An alert was recently sounded for missing" plane en route from Knoxville, Tenn, to Greenville, N. C., and later it was found the alert was caused when the pilot failed to file a flight plan with the field from which he departed and failed to report in to the field headquarters where he landed.
 Plain Lousy Airmanship'
 ''This is another glaring example of neglect. diSobedience of orders, inefficiency and downright lousy airmanship," commented the Coast Guard commander. Now if you don't think the above is enough. consider the needless air searches, the hunts by state troopers, sher- ifs. forest rangers-and expense of all the long distance phone calls"
 But. the Coast Guard never wa vers in pursuing its Search and Rescue efforts, coordinating the efforts of their own forces with the Army Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, Royal Canadian Navys RCAF, the Merchant Marine, CAA. VISA. EGG, commercial airlines, telephone. radio and cable com- panies. And one other profession with which they coordinate their activities, especially in the com- municationS field, is that of news papers and press associations. Wiz tai news on every disaster at sea or in such wilds as Gander, New foundland, is routed by the Coast Guard to newspapers and broad cast stations with all possible speed so that anxiety over such disasters may be lessened as quickly as pos- Sible.

 Blanketing the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coasts and reaching far out in the Atlantic. the U. S. Coast Guard maintains and oper- ates a network of radio stations, scouting planes and rescue ships that save hundreds of lives and thousands of dollars worth of prop erty every month from the perils of sea and storm.
 1,178 Saved in Month
 A single months report of the U. s. Coast Guard Eastern Area, which follows the coast from Greenland to the Rio Grande, gives a graphic picture of the extent of the Coast Guards operations, the amount of lives and property they save.
 A typical month is July. 1s46, a month in which the Coast Guard

proof plan of direction finders where separate stations pick up garbled radio beams from a ship in distress. By crossing the beams on the radio map. they can discover the approximate location.
 While the Coast Guard encour- ages the public to call on them for help, some of these calls can be needless and at times have dis tresSing aftermaths. For instance. the Coast Guard is frequently asked to search for overdue fish, ing vessels and the search quite often ends in finding that the fish, ing party has merely pulled up in- to some quiet cove for prolonged session of poker. Commdr. Mun- roe points to the case of a search and rescue flight from the San Francisco Coast Guard station last August when six Coast Guards men were killed in a plane crash. Later 1t was discovered that the fishing vessel for which they were searching had been safely anchored in the harbor at the time of the alert.

Along with this. the Coast Guard also has the task of collecting and detonating the considerable number of loose mines which broke away from their moorings during the war and are now floating wild.
