 The accompanying graveside note said
 Finally, o Duce, you are with us. You will always be for us that light which we will look to as the sun. The sun has re- turned to shine on your forehead We will surround you with roses but the perfume of your virtues will be stronger than roses. Duce, we will fight in your name, teaching ourselves the way"

 Five steps Taken
 Community chests nationally are taking five steps to simplify the story they have to tell the public this year. They have adopted a. common name-"Community Chestsi elected to refer to themselves na- tionally as "The Community Chests of America; selected ia common campaign period-O October; selected a common symbol-the Red Feather, which has been in use in Waterbury for four years; chosen to call their local member organiza- tions, Community Chest Red Feather Services"
 Test studies indicate that 70 per- cent of the people in chest areas annually directly from Community Chest Red Feather Services throughout the country, MT. Tate said. Persons in all economic lev- els benefit directly from the Boy Scouts, the "Y's'', the hospitals, and other agencies he point ed out. Indirectly, he ex- plained, everybody benefits when a child is given a home and grows into healthy useful citizenship.
 Just as in Waterbury, com munity chests everywhere com mand the participation of all ele- mentS in the community" MT. Tate said. "These include capital and labor, Catholic, Protestant and Jew, Negro and White. Millions ol citizens give their time as volun- teers to raise and budget the funds and to assist in making possible the Red Feather Services supported Dy the chests.

Cassidy Loses Tax Tilt
M orney Cracks Down On Lax GIs
 Army Discipline
 Drops in Europe,
 General Reports

Frankfurt, April 24-(UP)-Gen' Joseph McNarney has ordered disciplinary crackdown on U. s. occupation forces, acknowledging that lax discipline had damaged the American reputation among the Allies, 1t was learned today
 McNarney conceded bluntly in a letter to the major American conn mands in this theater that mili- tary discipline had "deteriorated throughout Europe.
 Orders Tightening
 As commander of U, $. torces III Europe and military governor or occupied Germany, McNarney or dered discipline frightened up dras- tically and immediately,
 Ills letter, dated March 20 sketched the outstanding evidences of slipping discipline and said Il "leads to the loss of respect toi American authorities and injureS our regulations amongst the AL lies"
 McNarney's list of factors reflect ing dwlndling discipline included black market activity, drunkenness, a high rate of absences without leave, an excessive rate of venereal disease, general lack of smartness in appearance, and complaints against constituted military author ity,
 Unit Pride Drops
 McNarney attributed the weaken ing control over American troops to collapse of unit pride" due tc rapid demobilizatlon and frequent shifts of assignments.
 "The firm ties of unit pride have been weakened" he said, "In' traditional constant concern Of ot' ficers for the welfare of their mer and consequent mutual Royalties have been difficult to maintain dur ing the transition period. Conse' quently discipline in certain locali ties and commands in this theate' has deteriorated to the point Of dis crediting the fine performance O our troops in general"

conferences today in an eftort to re- store a semhlance of Big g. unity The only question on which the delegates appeared to be even close to unanimity was that the Counci! mans latest hope for preventing future Wars-Was in another tall" spin.
 The Russians have made 1t plain that unity on Iran is impossible They just won't take part in any further discussions of the Iranian question,
 Authority Flouted
 Soviet Delegate Andrei A. Gro- myko didn't mention the report on evacuation of Soviet troops from Iran which the Council already has requested on May 6. But his new threat of a boycott raised fears that the Soviet Union might fiout the authority of the Council and Ignore its request for May 6 report
 The Russian view Is that the case has been closed since the Soviet Iranian agreement. The Anglo American view is that the case carl- not be closed until Russia fulfilS her promise to get out of Iran by May G.
 The Russians claim that the Councils unwillingness to accept their promise at face value is in ef- feet saying: We don't trust you" The Anglo-American refer to the fact that Russia broke her earlier promise to be out of Iran by March 2, .....,,
 Meanwhile, the delegates - es- pecially those of the smaller coun- tries-grasped hopefully for the first straw that held any hope of Coun- ell unanimity. Ironically, that hap pened to be the Franco Spain case, although the Russians, British and Americans are split wider on that probably than on Iran.
 May Get Unanimity
 This would give the Council a chance when 1t reconvenes tomor' row at 8 p. m., to show the world for the first time since setting ur shop in the United States that there is at least one procedural aspect oi a political issue on which members can agree.

Reds Send Large Group ToP Paris Peace Conference
 To Get Under Woy
 Tomorrow in City

Paris, April 24 n (uP1' -- Secre- tary of State James F Byrnes ar- rived today for the Big 4' Foreign Ministers Conference as Russia re- vealed she is sending the strongest Soviet diplomatic team yet assem- bled to the Paris meeting.
 The powerful Soviet delegation IS headed by Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov who will be accompanied by his top two Foreign Oface aides, Andrei Vishinsky and V. c. Deka- noZov.
 It is the first time at any Allied diplomatic meeting that the Soviet has sent its three ranking foreign specialists to attend. The Russians will be accompanied, 1t was reveal ed, by the largest group Of special lsts of any of the conference dele gations-some 200 In all, This is nearly three times the size of the American delegation and roughly four times as big as the British group.
 To Open Tomorrow
 The size and prominence of the Soviet delegation was believed to indicate the major emphasis which Russia is placing upon the foreign ministers deliberations.
 The conference will open tomor- row with the arrival of Molotov and British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin but formal deliberations prob- ably will not start until Friday.
 Byrnes had no comment on his arrival.
 Byrnes was accompanied by Sen Tom Connally O., Tex0 and Sen Arthur H. Vandenberg ,(R., Mich.) who will serve as advisors. The party was met at Orly Airfield by Ambass' ador Jefferson Gallery.
 All Issues Grave
 The conference to formulate peac' treaties for Italy and the Balkan countries vas recognized to be O exceptional importance for the flu ture of Europe. Preparations t' handle its secret sessions in tn Luxembourg palace were on a seal consistent with the gravity of tn issues.
 Observers believe that the con ference, like the foreign minister meeting in London last Fall ant the UN Security Council session il New York, will be dominated by tn basic clash of power between Rus sia and the Anglo-American inter ests. France will try to play a rol of mediator. The principal show down is expected on Tripolitania.
