WASHINGTON, June 20.
(UP) - The prolonged
draft deadlock was broken
Thursday when house and
senate conferees reached final
agreement on a nine-month
extension of selective service
for all childless men in the 10
through-44 age brackets, and top
to-bottom pay raises of 10 to 81
per cent for the armed forces.
The conference agreement re
solved the main differences be
tween the draft extension billa
approved by the house and senate
and it foreshadowed swift concur
renee by both legislative bodies.
11-Day Leeway
1t came just II days before the
stop-gap was to have expired.
The compromise bill was report
ed out with the unanimous ap-
proval of all the conferees present.
But Representative Dewey Short,
(R., NO. who stalked out of the
conference room a few hours ear
lier in protest against drafting
any teen-agers, said he would not
sign the report and would fight it
on the house floor.
Short criticized bitterly the
committees decision to draft 49,
year-olds without any ban on their
service overseas, as well as the
elimination of the proposed draft
moratorium.

Continued from Page D points toward Italian reparations by appointing a fact-flnding com- mittee of experts to determine Italy's ability to pay.
 Molotov asked $500, ,000, 900 repara- tions from Italy Byrnes and Bevin said they recognized Italy's moral responsibility to pay. But didn't want to see the substantial British and American financial contribut- ion to Italian reconstruction syphoned out in the form of repar- ations and the Balkan countries.
 American Score
 American delegation m e m b e r s were mildly jubilant over Molotov's agreement for fact-flnding com- mittee, They felt the Russians had been made to accept a considerable concession in swallowing the prin- ciple of an investigation, rather than holding relentlessly to their demand.
 The ministers also reached agree- ment on the wording of the pream- ble to the Italian treaty. The text was not disclosed.
 There was confusion about suh- jects to be discussed today before the deputies held their morning session.
 Next on the 1l-point Italian pro- gram submitted by the deputies were the related question of the YugoSlav- Italian frontier and the assignment of Trieste to one of those coun- tries.
 Await Probe Report
 Discussion of these complex prob- lens depended upon completion of the report of the four-power boun- diary investigation commission. This had not been completed late Fri day night.
 Other disputed points due for consideration were disposition of the Dodecanese Islands, the South Tyrol, the French Italian frontier, the fate of Italian colonies, limtta- tons on the Italian fleet and dis position of surplus fleet units, and the Allied inspectorate and treaty commission.
 An Italian embassy official said that Italy will present 6 rnemoran- dunn to the ministers asking per- mission for Italy to retain certain Army and Navy forces.

It looks as if Middlebury author tiles might have given more consid- eration to the plan of the U. s. Time Corporation to expand It's present plant in that town, Accord- ing to latest news reports the Md dlebury tax rate is upped six mills to Q new figure of 20, due to the fact that the grand list shows a 9600, 900 decline. There isn't much doubt but what the town could pick up S600,O00 in new assessments If 1t wanted to let down the zoning bars. However, that's Mlddlebury's problem solely and Waterbury will merely be a passive onlooker in such matters. But its passiveness will be frightened by a cherubic ex- pression as the press continues to chronicle the story of increasing tax rates among surrounding towns and cities, while Waterbury's has gone down.

Perhaps the most refreshing words written in the most recent episode of the battle of the Com munity Clubs on Waterbury's rec valuation program were those in The Republican one day this past week. They went as follows "There'S c line which should be ob- served in this whole assessment debate. It Is the line which sep- arates full and honest discussion of assessments from the kind of scare talk that encourages 8 tax payers strike, pointing straight to- wards 6 financial chaos in the city's affairs which would hurt all of us. Let's keep to the right side of the hne." If Waterbury should be put in the position of defaulting on its bonded debt, for instance, all the court decisions in the world wouldn't remove the trouble this would cause for years to come. It's c point of pardonable pride with city officials that each succeeding group has continued Waterbury's record of never a default on an obligation.
