Stolen Money Recovered by Ins pectors
 Former WaierbuFIan
 Heads Searching
 Party

Recovery of $l5S,0OO stolen from . Jacksonville, Fla., post office was supervised by a former Waterbury mail man, James J. Doran. Now chief of the Post Office Inspectors Service at Washington, Doran headed the investigation into the disappearance of a federal reserve registered shipment containing $780, O0Ofro mthe post office on May l6, l944.
 Through the use of an Army mine- detecting device, the money was diS- covered buried nine feet deep in the back yard of a postal employe. The employe, Joseph D. Marshall, con- fessed to the crime before his death after an appendicitis operation in August, 1924, but he refused to re- veal the location of the loot.
 Born in Waterbury, Doran grade uated from Crosby High School and worked in the local post office as a mail clerk, residing at l065 East Main Street. He was later appointed inspector at Jefferson City, Mo, and was then transferred to the Glens Falls, N. Y. post office. Doran was appointed chief inspector of United States Post Offices last fall. He is a brother of William Doran, 8 Doolittle Avenue. A widower, he now resides in Washington. He is the father of four children, one of them in the Navy.
 Assisting Doran on the case was M. H. Alderman, postal inspector at Atlanta. Mrs. Marshall, widow of the confessed thief, was exon- erated by federal jury last year. She gave the postal inspectors per- mission to search the grounds. The yard had previously been dug up by the Investigating officials, but be- cause of the depth at which the money was hidden, 1t was not dis covered.
 The money had been shipped in canvass bag which was removed and substituted with a dummy Marshall's handwriting on the dum- my package led to his discovery. He became i'll while in jail, confess ing his guilt when he knew he was about to die.
 Placed in two tin cans sealed with paraffin and two glass jars which were placed in lengths of stove pipe, the money was still in good condition. Marshall had dug the hole from the inside of a chicken house on a slant into his back yard, thus concealing his activities. The investigation was carried on only by officials of the Post Of1ce Inspectors Service.

Proclamation 
 Flags Displayed IR
 Honor Of Armed Forces

Mayor John s. Monagan, in a proclamation making today Army Day in Waterbury, has asked that all merchants and industrial estab- lishments display the flag as a re- cognition of the day. The mayor stated that 1t is appropriate that we celebrate the masterful echieve- ments of our fighting men and pause in memory of the valiant soldiers who gave their lives to gain for us the security in which to develop our democratic way of life.
 The proclamation states:
 "The achievements of the United States Army in the recent war rank with the greatest military achievements of all time. Now that the din of battle has died down, 1t is appropriate that we should celebrate the masterful achievements of our fighting men. It Is timely, too, for us to pause in memory of the valiant soldiers who gave their lives to gain for us the security in which to de- delop our democratic way of life.
 "The memory of our dead sol- dlers requires that We give thought to the conditions which gave rise to the war in which they lost their lives. We should dedicate our ef- forts to preventing a recurrence of this dread curse. We should real- ize that our commitments abroad and our power for international good will not be maintained un- less we keep an adequate Army. It avails us nothing to talk Of democracy unless we provide the materials to make 1t work.
 "In order to celebrate the war time achievements of our Army and to call attention to its peace time responsibility, I, John s. Mon- agan, mayor of Waterbury pro- claim April 6, l946, as Army Day and ask that merchants and in dustrial establishments display our national emblem as a recognition of this day"

Byrnes Calls 4 Farley
 Britain Accepts
 U. s. LnYitation

London, April 0v-(Ur)-A For. eign Office spokesman said today that Britain has accepted Secretary of State James F. Byrnes' proposal for . meeting of the Big {" foreign ministers in Paris on April %.
 Tn Paris, Q French Foreign Office spokesman said the American pro- posal was being studied. However, Foreign Minister Georges Bidault refused to comment on 1t. Byrnes' note reached Paris early last night. The British spokesman confirmed receipt of Byrnes' note and said, "Yon can understand we have ac- cepted it."
 Informed British quarters, while welcoming the idea of a foreign ministers meeting, predicted that 1t would place a further strain on Anglo . American relations with Russia.
 Deputies Fall Task
 Informants pointed out that the foreign ministers of Britain, France, United States and Russia would be faced with the task of finding agreement on major issues which caused the failure of the Council cf Foreign Ministers in London last tall. The asme issues have made fruitless three months of negotia- tions in London by the ministers deputies.
 James Dunn, the American dep- uty, said today, We make no secret of the fact that the deputies are in deadlock. We have not reached agreement on single major issue" He saw no possibility of a speedup. The deputies met again today, as they do on an average of three times weekly.
 Russia's Claims Strong
 These Issues include:
 CD Russias claim to sole trus- teeship over Tripolitania. Bri- tain is willing to have a joint trusteeShip but will not accede to a step which would give Rus. sia potential military base in the Mediterranean.
 C2) RusSia's insiStence that Italy should pay reparations. Soviet representatives here have refused to discuss the Anglo. American contention that Italy Is unable to pay. Russia sug- gests a total of $30o, ,000, ,000 dol lars-$10o,000,0 900 for herself and the remainder divided among Yugoslavia, Albania and Greece, If Britain and the United States wish to waive their claims.
 (O Continued Soviet refusal to release her stranglehold on the former enemy Balkan states. Russia has made what she feels to be political concessions to the Western point of view in Hun gary and Romania. She appar- ently is determined to maintain full control over the Bulgarian government.
 Resistance Encountered
 Throughout the Balkans, British and American efforts to regain their prewar economic position, par. ticularly concerning oil has met a wall of Russian resistance.
