Hartford Vet Athletes Return

It is truly wonderful to see some of our pre-war athletes coming home daily. Many of our northend football fans will be pleased to know that such performers as Harold Parker, a former Hartford High and Alpha A. c. star, 'Gus" Barlow, Fat Green and Walter Da- ly of Weaver High fame are back. Walter QFat) Green if you remem- Der starred on Bells championship football team at Florida A 6 M College before entering the ser vice.
 For the lovers of the hardwood court game, better known as bas- ketball, we have the unforget- table George Register and 'aShrimp" Johnson both of Weaver High and Johnson c. Smith Col lege, and Buddy Killebrew who thrilled many at the ole Sport Mite affairs several seasons ago, when he played with the Golden Bears Quintet. Joe Grevious, one of the cleverest semi-pro basket ball players to ever come out of the northend, is back in our fold.
 In case some of our fans have forgotten, we have practising physician by the name of Dr. Ar thur Wilson, who starred in base ball, football and basketball. He is an alumnus of Hartford High and Virginia University.
 There are perhaps many more of our athletes home and as soon as their names have been secured: we shall mention them.

It's Like This...

If there is any one thing which helped to lessen the hardship and suffering always accompanying 3 war, the matter of price control was certainly a boon during the war just ended-or just recessed perhaps I should say. From the very inception of the idea in New Deal heads Price Control was un- popular with the manufacturers, merchants and businessmen. For them price control spelled the death-knell of handsome war prof. it's. "Why should we agitate for a war;" they reasoned, eff we can't create a few thousand new mil lionaires out of it ?"
 Open Season Was Declared
 Despite their quaint but general psychology on the matter, the na- ton had then at it's helm a man firm in his convictions and stern in his yielding of the big stick, so price control came in. And when it did, open season was declared by the Manufacturers' Trust, the Chambers of Commerce, the thou sands of potential black market CTS, along with their crooked po- litical henchmen. Unlike open sea- son on deer or trout in most states, there were no statutory Limitations on what kind of am munition could be used; there could be open shooting in the face, or stabbing in the back. Anything went.
 Unholy Alliances Appear
 With the possible exception of the poll-tax and anti-lynching movements, price control probably brought about more unholy alli- ances of congressional bedfellows than have ever been since the Abo- lition days. Sleek, rich Republicans with Chamber of Commerce cam paign-fund assurances concocted remarkable working agreements with semi-literate, greasy little despots from Southern Gehennas, their sole basis of relationship to reap the ripe rewards available from the packers. growers and manufacturers Hobbies in the Con- gressional corridors.
 Roosevelt Held The Line
 Despite the formidable opposi- tion to the welfare of the people that the black and grey marketers were able to muster, OPA held

Discrimination
 Attempt Is Nipped

An attempt wasm ade on the part of one of the waitresses at
 the hot-dog counter in Kresge's five and dime store to overlook a CHRONICLE reporter who re- quested root beer and hot dog.
 After standing at an almost empty counter for ten minutes and
 being ignored by the waitress who waited on white customers com ing up after her, the reporter
 walked away and came back with
 MT. Buehler, the Assistant Man
 ager demanding to know if there
 was any reason why she couldn't
 be served. The waitress's reply
 was that she hadn't seen the girl.
 The manager asked to have the girl waited on and walked away.
 So did the girl who reported the
 incident to the CHRONICLE edi- tor.
 MT. Beuhler assured the editor that their policy was not one of discrimination and stated that be- cause of the Good Friday rush, the customer was probably over looked.
 The editor stated in regard to the attempt: eff such incidents, that invariably occur, are reported to proper authorities on the loca- ion of the premises, many un- called for endorsements can be eliminated"
 'I hope that whenever and wherever such attempts are made by employees or management, the victims of these circumstances will rport the happenings to the store or to the Connecticut Commission at the State Office Building and MT. Frank T. Simpson, Executive Sec retary, will officially have the case investigated.
 SI want to commend the CHRON- lCLE representative for her alert ness in reporting the incident inn nediately."

Council Votes Big Sum For Vets Homes

The Common Council voted 20 Q Monday night to appropriate $95.000 to aid Hartford Housing needs among veterans. There will be constructed 246 temporary units.
 The Mayors Emergency Hous- ing Committee authorized con- tracts to be entered for the erec- tion of 100 in the North End sec tion on Barbour Street circus grounds. The other 146 units will be erected on other city-owned pro- perties not yet decided on. 1t was necessary to ease the building laws to permit erection of the small structures.
 The Hartford Housing Author ity was designated to handle the operation of the new units, which are expected to have a life span of five years. The city of Hartford expects a return of $20,000 per year in rentals and payments in lieu of taxes.
 Two other approvals were made that had great significance: CD Approval of the purchase of $500 worth of fire hose by the Fire Department without recourse to bids, and (2) appropriation of $750 to defray expenses of the State Convention of the Jewish War Veterans. This latter appropria- ton is significant because it shows the trend of thought that the city of Hartford is doing to help all War Veterans program.

 Put Under Arresi

 Frau Weichelt frequently helped the Fuehrer draft his speeches, the agency said.
 Dana said that Frau Weicllelt was believed by the American ounter-intelligence corps to have been close to Hitler until the sur- render" although she said she had been the Nazi leaders secretary only between 1884 and 1888.
 She was arrested last Wednesday in Uettingen, near Wuerzburg, by local American investigators and was turned over to the counter in- telligence corps, Dana said She was said to have disguised her appear ance and was living with her par ents in seclusion.

"AN5WER MEN" CRITICIZED BY
 EX-RUBBER GAR
BY FRANK CAREY Press Science Reporter

Associated Press Science Reporter
 ATLANTIC CITY. April g. -
 Bradley Dewey, former rubber di-
 rector today criticized some scien-
 tists who, he said, in the discus
 sions of atomic energy have created
 "the impression that they have all
 the answers, even in the field of
 politics"
 President of the American Chem ical Society, Col Dewey declared in an address prepared for delivery
 at the opening of the Society's
 190th meeting:
 We need to maintain our equi- librium as scientists and profess sional men amidst the babel of voices which has been mounting in volume since the atomic bombs went off.
 ITO a certain extent scientists have added to this confusion of tongues and some have succeeded in creating the impression that they have all the answers, even i'll
 the field of politics, national and international.
 Tn so doing some have forgot ten that national leadership is only won by long, self-sacrificing pub lie service"
 Technical sessions of the meeting, for which an attendance of 10000 chemists, chemical engineers and industrialists is scheduled will be- gin tomorrow.

MIR. CRAVEN OPENS: My answer
il an unqualified yes. The LABOR
Government has tackled the problems
az postwar reconstruction coura.
seously. They have removed many Oh
the strict controls over labor that ex-
listed during tha war but have con-
tinued to control the economy. Him
labor and materials still scarce, they
have paid special attention to essen
tial basic industries such as engineer
ing. chemicals and iron and steel.
The results can now be seen. TRADE
has not suffered. The last nsureS
available MAY, 1s46) show exports
Of S340, 500, GO0Nsreater than the aV-
erage monthly 1898 volume. 1t took
four years after World War to
reach three-fourths Of the 1918 vol
ume. The change has been erected
without serious unemployment. In
June, 1888, in spite Of prewar activ-
ity. 1,27O.G0O were unemployed-in
April of this year 371, 900. The people
have frightened their belts so that a
large proportion of the goods pro-
duced can be exported. To increase
efficiency they are prepared to na-
tionalize coal, inland transpo-t, quo
lie utilities, civil aviation, etc, anu
have worked out with management
and labor plans for Reorganization
through new types Of pubic manage
ment-labor bodies. They have con-
trolled imitation by maintaining ra-
tionins ard have exceeded their con-
tributions for the needy IN Europe. In
the foreign field, they are pledged to
end old fashioned imperialism, as the
withdrawal from Egypt and the offer
of complete independence to India
proves. AL in all, the work OF the
British Labor Government during its
first year of Office is a matter for
pride and satisfaction.
MIR. HARRIS CHALLENGES: La
boris claims viii be heard with skep-
ticism by the man looking for
house or the woman standing in a
Queue for bread, uarationed during
the war. They are still restricted to
austerity clothing-2S coupons year
about enough to buy one coat. OFF,
cial figures for unemployment have
risen from 25S,000 to 100000 in the
last six months. Success or failure of
economic experiments and foreign
policy is not to be judged in day
or a year. That tiny island, Britain,
owes her position to 400 years Of I'M
broken continuity in domestic and
foreign policy. Labor is out to change
all that.
MIR. CRAVEN REPLIES: Mr.. Har.
fis IS wrong-Britain has reason for
satisfaction, not In obstinately re-
fusinS to make necessary changes n
her way of life, but in carrying them
cut trithout piolence-the Labor Par
" will follow in this tradition. Her
contribution to civilization Is the
demonstration Of democracy as a
practical system Of life In her capi-
tai sits "the mother Of parliaments."
The first Labor Party came into ex-
3stence there az pattern for very
successful governments in different
parts Of the Commonwealth. Ration
ing in food and clothing continues
because Of 6rftain's aid 20 S; ,rv-
ing Europe. including her late enc
