AS in former years The Elton will be the official headquarters of the campaign committee.
 The selection of cooperating committees to handle the many &C., tivities planned will be completed and announced within a few days. No quota has been assigned the city, but 1t is to be expected that Water bury will be ranked among the lead- ing communities of New England in generous response at the conclu- sion of the campaign.
 More than 25,000 circulars are be- ing prepared for distribution in Waterbury and vicinity. A mann moth sports event will be prepared by a special committee of sports writers and well-known local sports men. Various church, fraternal, political and social groups will carry on special features of the campaign. Industrial units will function as in former years. Union groups will arrange their own plans to make their participation a major factor in the success of the appeal.

also certain to have a bearing on the outcome of investigation de- mands was congressional concern over the possible effect of CT dis. content in the impending iea6 elec- tlons.
 Cannot Replace Forces
 The Army, which touched off the demonstration with an announce ment that demobilizatlon would slow down from now on, said it could not rob" occupation forces without adequate replacements.
 It said the situation stemmed from the lack of any comprehensive program for replacing veterans In Europe and Asia. It also blamed changed world conditions" which required this country to maintain occupation forces.
 Rep. Clarence J. Brown (R. O., demanded to know what the changed world conditions" were. Brown, Q member of the COP pol- icy committee, said 1t was time for congress to look into the entire pie ture.
 No Need for Huge Numbers
 Rep. Mike Mansfield (D. Mont.) i, joined the demand for an investi- gation. He said he saw mo need" for large U. s. occupation forces in score of countries, including Greece, India, Burma, Java and China.
 Mansfield sent 0 letter to Chair- man Andrew May(D. xyO, of the House Military Affairs committee. He urged the committee to see to 1t "that the ArIiy's demobili7ation program can be continued at the present rate and wherever possible accelerated"
 Similar demands were made in the senate,
 Democratic Sens. Edwir c. John- son, Colo, and John L. Mcclellan, Ark, agreed an investigation was in order. Mcclellan charged the de- mobilization showdown was "a breach of faith with the veterans"
 Chairman Silent
 Chairman Ebert D. Thomas (D. Utah), of the Senate Military Af- fairs committee, had no comment.
 White House Press Secretary Charles G. Ross said, however, that President Truman had no plans to intervene in the picture and that none is under consideration"
 Str. James E. Murray (D. Mont.) cautioned the GIs to be careful "and not do anything that would jeop- ardize this country's position" He said the demonstrations were "un- fortunate.
 The War Department reiterated that the demobilization showdown was not unexpected.
 Offlciais recalled that Army plan- ners since V-J Day have predicted that a point would be reached early this year where occupation require mentS rather than available ship ping would determine how fast men could be returned from overseas.

Judges who originally sentenced Zu- kauskas to death.
 States Attorney William F. Fitz- gerald then asked the court to ap- prove an order to bring zukauskas here.
 Case Explained
 The prosecutor pointed out that the former supernumerary police man was convicted Feb. 8, l945 of a charge of murder in the first de- gree by the court and sentenced to the punishment of death.
 The states attorney said that the execution of the death penalty was stayed by an appeal to the State Supreme Court Feb. IT, 1945, and that the high court ,last month found no error in the judgment.
 He added that proceedings under the appeal were terminated 10 days after the Supreme Court decision, since no motion for re-argument was filed.
 Sentence II Months Old
 The court order was then issued, -and State Police Edward Christian took it for delivery to Wethersfleld. Prison officials were scheduled to accompany Zukauskas and the State Police here.
 The original sentence was passed exactly Il months ago today. The penalty had been set for April 20, 1945. Mrs. Plungis was shot Nov. 1, 1924. and her body was found in a shallow grave in Middlebury woods three days later, after Zukauskas confessed.

 Mozella then challenged the court to give him justice" lie sai6 that comments about justice had been made at the opening of the session. He was evidently referring to the invocation given by Rev. Alvira Santolini of the Church oS Our Lady of Lourdes.

 System Falls Down
 Other citizen-speakers who ad- dressed the chamber last night in- cluded:
 Anthony R. Martino of 8o Green leaf avenue, cited the assessment increases as proof that the two-par- ty system of government in Water bury has fallen down."
 Joseph Hench of 26 Matthews street said that his assessment had gone up from 5000 to 5000 on a 33-year-oid house in a section with out sidewalks.
 Josephine Mutton of 52 Hill street, speaking for her mother. who rec sides at A40 North Main street, said that her parent had received notice of an assessment increase of from S2.300 to 40,O50.

 3 Western Union employees in
 New York City were to strike to-
 day, cutting off the nations
 largest city from telegraphic
 communication with the rest of
 the country and shutting down
 4O percent of trans-oceanic com-
 munications traffic.
 S1.2O Basic Accepted
 Hope that compromise settle ments might be in the offing was given a boost in the en1ergenee of some agreements between the CIO and the oil industry calling for l8 percent wage raises. The union originally asked 90 percent. An le percent boost in the steel industry would mean about $l.20 day for the worker. Washington believed the union might accept that figure.
 Kaiser-Frazer agreed on a basic wage rate of $1.l9 an hour, equak to that paid by Ford at the River Rouge plant, the highest in the in- dustry. When JAW demands against General Motors are decided. Kaiser-Frazer win raise it's wages the same percentage. Additionally. the company will pay $5 in bonuses on each car into a pool which will be divided amogn employees.
 R. J. Thomas, JAW president. said he hoped the agreement would become "a model for the automobile industry and 9 basis for settling the industry's labor dispute"
 Dispute Etalemabed
 The UAW-Generai Motors dispute still was stalemated in the 18th day of a str4sse of l75,OO0 production workers. JAW Vice-President Wal ter P. Reuther. en route with other leaders to Washington, said Presi- dent Truman's fact-finding board was expected to release it's report tomorrow in the GM strike.
 The Dodge Division of the Chry- sler Corporation meanwhile an- nOunced the closing of it's truck plant in a dispute with AFL truck drivers. It said 5000 workers would be idled indefinitely.
 While the National Federation ot Telephone Workers 0ndD continued it's poll on the question Of author izing a nationwide strike of 263 Bell employees in sympathy with NlOOO Western Electric employees in New York and New Jersey who are striking on 90 per cent wage increas demands, the Labor Department in Washington was considering crea- ton of fact-finding panel In that dispute.
 Both Sides Ease Demands
 The Association Of communiea- ton Equipment Workers, an NFrW affiliate. vent ahead with plans to stage q walkolit tomorrow which might disrupt telephone service across the country lf phone opera atOFs observed ACEW picket lines at exchanges. However. both sides eased demands in iith-hour nego- liati0ns.
 A scheduled Jan. ie strike of meat packing house workers received seri- 0us attention from high govern nient officials who hoped to submit definite wage-price adjustment pro- posals at mediation conferences to- morrow fl Chicago.

play was improper. West opened the
ace of hearts and continued the suit.
East won and led trump. Another
trump lead cleared up the suit.
Now declarer should play the ace,

South hand. The last heart should
be ruffed in dummy and another club
ruffed in the South hand. On this
trick West will show out and East's
hand will be an open book. He will
be known to have five clubs. two
spades and surely five hearts for his

him with only one diamond. The
king of diamonds should therefore
be led from the South hand and the

The fortunes of Croesus await the
genius who can devise some infal-
Ilble method for determining the
location of missing queen when it
can be messed in either direction.
Various remedies have been pre-
scrlbed from time to time by anna
teur soothsayers. The one currently
going the rounds is something to
the effect that the queen will be
found over the jack. If you are one
81 those who believe that luck fol-
lows the lady who sits on her hand
Eerchief then this theory is strong
ly recommended to you.
In great many cases locating the
missing honor will be no more than
a mere guess and at such times the
Verlest tyro is on an equal footing
with the expert. In a certain num-
Der Of instances, however, some clue
will be found to help the guesser
along in the proper direction. In a
few cases the guess can be entirely
eliminated and. the position of the
missing card can be determined to a
certainty. Today's hand comes al
most in that category.
The contract of four spades was
not in question. There was no way
to lose it. The problem centered
around the diamond play in an effort
TO make the overtrick.
While this question is apt to re-
ceive more attention in tournament
play, nevertheless it should not be
ignored even in rubber bridge when
frequently that extra trick involves
gain of 100 points in the money
column.

BUFFALO, - American Negroes

falo Bethel African Methodist Ep-
iscopal Church told the National
Elks Convention last night.
I'm most of the Southland today
American democracy is robbing the
Negro of the right to vote, the

equal educational opportunities
and recognize the equality of men
in actual practice" the pastor
said.
