be achieved through mutual con- sessions and compromise rather than by force of arms and foreign intervention.
 The address was followed by a discussion which led to the passage of the following resolution ad- dressed to President Harry Truman, and which MT. Sinclair endorsed as the first member of the Advisory Committee of the Waterbury Youth Club.
 The resolution stated:
 WHEREAS the present state of Civil War in China is in direct con- tradiction to the expressed purpose of American policy for a strong. uni- fled and democratic China and
 WHEREAS the presence oi Amer lean troops in China has, in spite of all denials, become contributing factor to and a source of dispute in the internal political affairs of China, and
 WHEREAS this has caused the loss of American prestige, and fur- ther, the unnecessary sacrifice of American soldiers, which may in- volve us even more deeply and at greater cost of life, be It therefore
 RESOLVED that we urge the gov- erilment of the. United States to withoraw all American troops from China, to refrain from any form of intervention which may prejudice the cause of unity and democracy, and to exert every possible influence for establishing a representative unified ard d.,n' cratic government of all the Chinese people. | Mortimer Gross was chairman of the meeting.

 By means of such a yardstick we do away with the probable inequali- ties which have appeared in so many instances, particularly in this city," he said
 The full fair market value, on which the assessments issue hinges, is not arrived at hit-or- miss, he explained. It is based on what property sells for on the market. The present shortage of homes and buildings and the high cost of labor and materials, that have gone into structural improve ments have contributed to make real estate values high, he pointed out.
 MT. Jenks stressed that only the assessments have increased, and not the taxes. Actually the taxes have been reduced from 30 mills to 28.5 mills, he said. It follows, therefore, he added that reduction in tax rate must be met by an increase in assessments.
 ct has been reported to The Democrat that an additional tax rate reduction may be put into ef- feet this fall.)
 Imitation Reported
 The Chief Assessor refuted the belief held by some that the in- crease is inflationary. Since the in- creases are based on the current fair market value they are synon- omouS with the current economic level, he added.
 He denied that the increases would tend to discourage industry and said that at least 99 per cent of industrialists were satisfied with their new valuation. Too, the fav- orable geographical position of the city and it's position within the skilled labor market made 1t attrac- tive to industry.
 He stressed that the current val- uation was not compiled by his of- flee or anyone in the administration, but by MT. Horan's staff.

Waterbury Youth Group Addresses Resolution to President Truman; Minister Speaks on China

Rev. T. l.. Sinclair of All Souls Church was guest speaker of the Waterbury Youth Club ct Q meeting last night at the Central Y. M 0. A.
 Rev. Sinclair, who has done mis- sionary work in the Orient for sev- eral years, spoke on China" His introductory remarks emphasized the importance of creating in ourselves an interest and sympathetic under standing of the problems of other countries. He said we Americans are inclined to compare the best in our culture with the worst in the cul- lures of other nations. He expressed the hope that peace and unity be- tween the Chiang Kai-shek forces and the Communists in China could

 the New Deal-Democrat coalition falter and perhaps split next Nov ember. The late Franklin D. Roose- welt created the coalition in 1886 the year he was elected President second time. Under his don1ina- ton 1t absorbed voting strength from the Communists, Socialists Laborltes, Independents and others
 MT. Truman wants to keep that political powerhouse in running or- der. A vast Negro voting popula- tion in northern states expects him to obtain @ permanent Fair Em- ployment Practices Commission Congressional Republicans will SC along on that because they need those Negro votes, too. But south- ern Democrats, some of them in key committee positions, will fight and tilibuster to prevent action.
 This typical party division was rec f1ected in reaction to MT. Truman's address. Republicans naturally were almost unanimous in charging that MT. Truman's appeal to the public to make Congress act was a confess sion of the Democratic party's in- ability to execute policies. But the Democrats were divided. Some cheered MT. Truman for a courage ous and Statesmanlike outline of an essential program. Others chal- lenged the Presidents plans and complained, especially, that he had not dealt suitably with the strike situation.
 A generally expressed opinion here was that MT. Truman had taken the only course open under the circumstances to protect the political organization he inherited from MT. Roosevelt. The New Deal- Democratic coalition was under se- we're strain long before the late President died.

 A protest meeting of the Oronoke Community club is scheduled for next Tuesday, Della Govain. presi- dent said today. A similar meeting is slated by the East End Con- munity group on the same date.
 Discussed in Forum
 A forum discussion of the new assessments was held by the Lions Club yesterday with various mem- berS expressing their views.
 George Baronion, well-known real estate agent. stated he felt his in- creases-which totaled SIS, ,000--were fair and equitable and that, except for a few instances, they would prove to be the same throughout the city.
 Citing the fact he was more familiar with commercial property, MT. Baronian said that the greater majority of revaluations in down. town property were just.
 William J. Dodd, well-known in- surance agent and Selective Service official, said he knew of many valuations which appeared to him to be well "off-centerp; particular ly on private dwellings.
 Notes Similar Incident
 William O. Taylor, president of the East End Community Club, said that the people in his area were severely critical of the "diSproport- ionate" increases in valuatioS there.
 Wilbur Bremen, local insurance agent, said that the current "indig- nation" was similar to that of the people of Florida City four years ago. MT. Brewer was employed there at the time. "The feeling died down in a few month," he said.
 The text of Mayor Monagan's letter sent to Mir. Jenks follows:
 Tn the course of the next month, you will be going over the tentative valuations which have been submitted by the George B. Horan Go. and accepted by you I want to be sure that the increases will involve TO un- due discrimination against any class of property and I ask that you investigate the increases to see that no undue differencec in treatment between such classes exist.
 As soon as possible l should like to have you furnish me with comparative valuations of indus trial, commercial. and dwelling real estate, indicating the changes in these classifications between le44 and i045. I should like also to have comparisons of personal property values"

Mayor John Murphy's retire. ment to private life in New Haven was accomplished without much fanfare. The Democrats of the Elm City will undoubtedly have to start all over to build up their lines down there as Mayor Mur- phy was apparently their solid bmlwarh for s0 many years that there doesn't seem anyone on whom his mantle can fall. And the decline in the Murphy fort mmes may affect those of former Public Works Director John M. Golden. Much of what Is to hap men in Connecticut communities like New Haven, Hartford, and BrsdgepOrt will be brought to the surface when the Democratic sfase Central COn1mittee meet next week.
