Meanwhile, in its efforts to squeeze every possible bushel of grain out of farm storage bins, the department called all Fed eral corn loans four months ahead of sched- ule.
 The move was aimed at forcing farm CTS to sell approximately 2,457, ,413 bushels of corn on which the Government holds mortgages. By selling now, farmers would get the current market price plus the 30- cents-a-bushel bonus offered by the Govern ment.
 If they permitted the Government to foreclose, they would get only 90 percent

Assessment of land at 27 west Main Street at $l66.630 and of the three-story garage at the rear at S45, ,19O is the basis of an appeal from the Board of Tax Review filed ill Common Pleas Court by the owner, Mrs. Laura Oliver Lewis of Waterbury. widow of Truman Lewis.
 The garage is one of several buildings owned by Mrs. Lewis at that address. The appeal involves the garage and the entire tract of land, but not the other buildings.
 The latest appeal is the llth to re- suit from the recent revaluation Of property.
 Mrs. Lewis points out that she appealed to the tax board and sub sequently received a reduction on the garage assessment The valua- ton originally was set at S50,2lO but later was reduced to s45, ,l90 presumably as result of the 10 per- cent across-the-boar cut
 The garage is located at ths cor ner of Harrison Avenue and Lewis Street at the rear of the West Main Street buildings.

T rain Crews To Be He eord

Chicago, April 27 - (UP)--Au- thorities planned today to question train crews involved in the wreck of two crack Burlington passenger trains at Naperville, Ill, Wednesday which killed A persons and injured 100 others.
 Meanwhile, officials of the Bur lington railroad began their own investigation and announced that they would run a test train at 8S miles an hour to prove that 1t could be stopped in IA miles.
 w. w, Blaine, engineer of the Burlington's Exposition Flyer, said he was unable to stop the train in that distance after noting warning signals. AS a result the Flyer ripped into the rear lounge car oi the Advance Exposition Flyer which had made an unscheduleo stop at Naperville.
 Edward Flynn. Burlington vice. president, agreed that Blaine was not exceeding the speed limit o' S5 miles an hour on the Naperville stretch of track, but he believed the train could have been stopped. The test train, he said, would be run over the same track at the same speed.

God and Mon TruceU Urged ByChurchiII Says World Needs
 'ConVoIeseence'
 After Two Wars

Aberdeen, Scotland, 27-CUP)- winston Churchill called today for 6 breathing space" in the clash of world politics to prevent "even harder trials than those we have so narrowly and painfully sur- vived.
 Churchill said that 'forces and organizations and doctrines" are driving peoples against one an- other, and the world needs for rec covery "a blessed convalescence--a truce of God and man."
 The wartime prime minister spoke briefly after receiving the freedom of the City.
 Great Injury Done
 "The world is very ill.," Churchill said, TWO fearful wars in our life- time have torn the heart out of it's grace and culture. MeaSureless injury has been done to much that the 18th Century would have called Christian civilization.
 There must be a period of re- covery. In many countries where SVSIl u1l1Vcu Gk1O4b WOubd nSAs AoA short of what is needed, party strife and friction is fomented or ma chine made fanatics rave at each other about their rival ideologies, "
 Observing that the once bitter enmity between the Scots and Eng fish was 8 thing of the past, Chur- chill continued:
 Now the unity of the British Isles, and indeed of the empire ano of the entire English speaking worlc is such as to make 1t lnconquer' able and to insure its being ablt to deliver its message of human pilgrimage in generation after gen eration, In sunlight Tor in storm however, the wind might blow"
 Fears Harder Times
 Churchill said that mankind can' not lin its present plight bear new shocks and quarrels without de- scending to altogether cruder anC primordial forms" and went on:
 "Yet we do not know that the hatredS and confusion which abound will not confront us with even harder trials than those we have so narrowly and painfully survived
 There never was time when a breathing space was more needed a blessed convaleScence-a truce of God and man."

 To Allied Council

Wiesbaden. April 27 (UP) - Catholic Bishops of western Ger many will protest to the Allied Con- trol Council in Berlin against the alleged harshness of occupation laws, which they call danger to Germany's future, military Gov ernment authorities said today.
 A Military Government spokes- man said also that letter criti- cizing Military Government policies in Western Germany-the Ameri- can, British and French 1ones-was read on Easter Sunday from the pulpits of the German Evangelical Church.
 The spokesman said the Catholics had planned to read a letter of similar content written In stronger language, but refrained from doing so at the request of the Military Government.
 Military Government authorities requested the Catholics to with hold reading their letter on grounds that 1t would ignite unrest and possible riot" They said 1t might cause disorders.
 The spokesman said that no ''order" had been issued banning the Catholic letter, He said, "The Catholics withdrew the letter at our request without pressure or direct order for the sake of good relation ship. They are now drafting let- ter to the Control Council explain ing in even further detail the points raised"
 The five chief points of cI1tici- . ism outlined in the letters were:

 Acheson said resumption of rationing might or might not be necessary.
 He emphasized, however, that he spoke only for himself and that his views were not necessarily official. But the urgency of his words obviously reflected growing State Department belief that good will can not live in the same world with hunger and misery.

Paris, April N-(UN-The Fora eign Ministers Conference, having sidestepped an immediate decision on Italian separations, renewed ef- forts today to break the nearly four months deadlock on other phases of the 1l-point Italian treat agenda, |. The Big 4' ministers will meet for the third time at 4 p. m, (l0 a. m. EST). to consider the agenda agreed upon at an il a. m. (5 a. m. EST) meeting of their deputies.
 It was probable that the minis ters would seek definite agree ment about including Austria and Germany on the agenda. The Unit ed States wants & discussion of Austria, to which Russia has not agreed, Britain has opposed French moves to consider Germany.
 Atmosphere Below
 Although the ministers ran head long into the separations hurdle in their second meeting yesterday delegates described the atmosphere of the conference thus far as gen- orally amicable. There was a com plete lack of shouting and table pounding such as marked some clashes at the ministerial sessions in London last fall.
 Delegates said there had been no serious clashes between Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov of Russia and Ernest Bevin or Jantes F. Byrnes during the first two sessionk They described Molotov as reserved and noticeably tired.

Moscow, April N'- (UP) - The Newspaper Izvestia published two- column attack on the Turks today for the noisy welcome they gave the American battleship Missouri mov- ing the problem of Turkey and the DardanelleS to the forefront.
 Izvesta asserted that Turkish newspaper made a great noise in order to make their own desires appear to be reality and to prove that the Missouri'S visit was hos tile act by the United States against the Soviet Union"
 The newspaper, the official gov ernment voice. added that Admiral Henry K. Hewlett's purported State- ment that the MissouriS visit did not mean that the United States was offering support to Turkey against the Soviet Union dtsillusion- ed anti-Soviet circles.
 IzveStia asserted that Turkey broke the MontreuX convention goV- erning the DardanelleS in l94l when 1t permitted the German cutter, Zeefalke and the Italian cutter, Tarizo to pass through the Straits into the Black Sea to fight the Soviet Union.
 Turkey again violated the agree ment in 1924, the newspaper said when it allowed several German warships and auxiliary vessels to pass from the Black Sea to the Aegean.
 The article stressed Tass com munique dated Oct. IS, 1945, which stated that heads of the American Soviet and British governments agreed at the Berlin conference that the Montreux Convention must be reviewed because it does not correspond to present condi' tionS.'
