 Budget Director
 Finds Department
 Estirnotes Higher

Costs of Waterbury's government tai operations for 1947 will increase sharply, parallehng the current general eost-of- living increases, City Budget Director Arnold E. F'urlong today told The Democrat.
 MT. Furlong will submit the first of the individual deparmental bud gets to the Finance Board for re- view at the meeting scheduled for 4 P. M. tomorrow. The city's 1946 estimated Grand List will also be submitted at that time.
 Salary increases for all city en- ployes will comprise the bulk of the overall budgetary increases, with costs of materials and maintenance the next highest contributory fac- tor, MT. Fllrlong said.
 InhatiOnary Cycle
 While we regret the necessity for such rising costs, conditions make 1t imperative that we meet such orderly demands as salary increases for employees" the budget director said.
 City employees, after all, must trade in the same markets and purchase the same goods as do industrial workers to maintain a standard of living" he added.
 Tax authorities have predicted potential doubling of governmental costs such as followed the postwar period of World War I when costs, during the years 1918-N went from $30 to $60 per capita.
 Because of increased salaries, particularly the $500 cost-of living increase, now permanent part of salaries of city employees, the city's share of the employees pension fund will increase approximately $5O,0O0. This year the city allotted $380, 900 as it's share of maintaining the pension fund.
 That is clear example of the cycle of infationary costs" MT. Furlong said.
 Materials Increase
 Cost of materials for new struc- lures, maintenance of facilities and replacement of equipment Is our next biggest headache in keeping down costs" MT. Fllrlong pointed out.
 Replacement of equipment will probably be required for such items as police patrol cars, trucks and other vehicles of the Street Engi- neering and Park Departments, new parking meters and other items. AS reported here previous ly, MT. Furlong plans to ask per mission of the General Assembly to establish a sinking fund for fu- ture purchases of equipment.
 Anticipated increases in revenue to offset such cost are not too ap- parent. While some increases will be shown in revenue from building and electrical permits, recording of deeds. parking meters, etc., these are considered of a minor propor- tion in terms of the entire budget. Grand List increases are not ex- pected to be sufficiently high to offset rising expenditures.
 Every effort will be made to maintain comfortable tax rate margin" MT. Furlong said. We don't yet know what it will be-"

No. 2 Maxi Takes ViaI Of Poison
Escapes Hanging Less Thon Two Hours Before Walk

Nuremberg Prison, Oct. 16 |-(UP)-Ten surviving lead CTS of Adolf Hitler's Third Reich died on the gallows in the chill, dark hours after midnight today, but Hermann Goering, the eleventh Nazi condemned to pay with his life for crimes against the world cheated the moose by taking poison.
 Shortly before dawn, at 5 40 A. M. (11:00 P. M. EST. Tuesday, two closed and covered trucks were seen speeding from g rear gate of the Nuremberg Prison It was possible that they were transporting the eleven dead Nazis to secret burial places but no of- ficial announcement was made on disposition of the bodies.
 Less than two hours before Goer- ing was scheduled to lead the band of surviving Nazi leaders to the in1- Nuremberg Prison gymnasium se- curity guard heard the prisoner make "a strange noise".
 Investigation Under Way
 The cell was instantly opened and Goering was found dead, 8 crushed vial of potassium cyanide between his teeth. The hour was 10:45 P. M. (4:45 P. M. EST Tuesday,. Im- mediate investigation was started to determine how Goering had Ob- tained the poison vial and placed ik |tiny of a guard charged with never taking his eyes off the prisoner.
 How Goering had succeeded in what prison officials believed was q million to one chance of taking his life was not clear. He had gone to bed early.
 The guard assigned to watch Goering reported he had not seen Goeringis hands near his mouth.
 However, when his cell was en- tered torn envelope was found, on which was scrawled in pencil HI. Goering." Inside was found three notes which Goering had pencilled and 8 small brass cart ridge container in which it was be- lieved the poison vial was secrete6
 Look For His Last Visitors
 An identical poison container had been found in Goering's possession on his arrival at Mandorf last May. That vial had been concealed in c can of powdered coffee.
 The notes left by Goering were seized immediately by the four power execution commission which started searching inquiry into the suicide.
 Suspicion centered on Georingas last visitors since his cell had been repeatedly searched. One report was that Goering had declined to take exercise for the last three days, pos- sibly as part of his plot to conceal the poison vial from disclosure.
 A group of correspondents talk en on an inspection of death row in Nuremberg Prison at 9:30 P M. yeS~ terday had seen Goering through a cell peephole, apparently sound asleep. He was dressed in pajamas and his hands rested on the hlan- ket, the right fist clenched and possibly at that very smoGnent clenching the poison vial.
 Follows Himmler's Fate
 The method by which Goering took his life was identical with that chosen by Heinrich Himmler, Nc. 3 Nad who was captured IT months ago by the British.
 Goering's eleventh hour suicide brought a drastic tightening of se- curity precautions in the final hour or so before the condemned men were led, one by one, to the gym- naSium in the prison courtyard where three black scaffolds had been erected.

Washington, Oct. 16. (UP)- Supreme Court Justice Robert H. Jackson said today that Hermann Goerings suicide was "as anti-climatic as a burlesque after 8 Wagnerian overture" and destroyed his opportunity to become a German Martyr hero"
 Jackson, chief U. s. prosecu- tor at the Nuremberg war crimes trials (issued a statement on the self inflicted death of the No. l Nazi from his supreme court chambers.
 The founder of concentration camps where death was handed out to millions could not face the gallows himself,'' Jockson said.

Norwich, Oct. Is - CUP)-Mrs. Jean Sowa, 26, went to the State Farm for Women at Mantle today to serve 8 one to five years sen- tence for strangling her husband in his sleep last June 26.
 Charged with second degree mur- der, she was permitted to change her plea to guilty of manslaughter when presented in superior court.
 Mrs. Sowa claimed that her hus- band came home drunk, threat ened her with a carving knife and then went to bed. When she called State Police some hours later Sowa was found to have been choked to death with rawhide thong.
