 cause of action 1t presents and the type of remedy 1t seeks.
 Clear on Equity Action
 Tt seems clear to the court" the memorandum of decision states, that the first count is an action in equity for an injunction to restrain the city and its offlcials from col- lecting tax predicated on an alleg- edly unlawful and void assessment and Gand List, and is not an action for declaratory judgment"
 Judge Pickett cites the decision in the case of the Bridgeport Hy- draulic Company against Bridge port, in which 1t was stated that "In extreme cases an injunction may be granted to restrain the collection of illegal taxes"
 The jurist then points to the ale gation of Cassidy that an illegal tax has been imposed, and to an impii- cation that the matter presents an extreme case"
 Entitled To Stay
 Stating that the plaintiff is en- titled to remain in court and be heard insofar" as the question of jurisdiction is concerned" Judge Pickett points out that nothing herein stated in anywise adjudi- cates the factual merits of the case or passes upon such questions as whether the first count of the action is good as against demurrer"
 '"The court decides no more on this motion" the memorandum states, than the single proposi- tion that the count which is at- tackled is not an action for a declar- atory judgment but one addressed tO the general equity powers of the court and therefore, to that extent, within the jurisdiction of the court"
 Cassidy in the first count of his complaint asks the court for a judgment holding the assessments to be void in their entirety. holding the charter amendment under which Aldro Jenks was appointed tax assessor to be void, and hold ing the Grand List of l944 as the proper one for taxation purposes. He also seeks an injunction re- straining the tax collector from collecting taxes imposed under the assessments.
 Arguments on the city's motion to erase the first count from the complaint were presented February 2i.
 In the second count, Cassidy seeks relief over new assessments placed on his property here.

 Situation COnfused-Chase
 Rodney Chase. director of indus trial and public relations for the Chase Brass & Copper Company. said: ''The whole situation is still highly confused. We can make no further comment at this time"
 There has been no change in our position" said Alan c. Curtiss, di- rector of employe relations for the Scovill Manufacturing Company. Its the old story of the chicken and the egg. Which came first? The O. P. A. says to raise wages before We get the prices we need to pay higher wages. Yet we have to have higher prices before we can raise wages. Where does that leave us?"
 The American Brass Company, third major brass concern hit by the current strike, has taken its stand with Chase and Scovill that wages cannot be raised under present price ceilings.
 FaFTel Stalemated

Yamashita Doomed

Yamashita's appeal to the United
states Supreme Court from the death
sentence of the U. S. Military Commits
sion in Manila succeeded only in pro-
longing his life for few weeks.
In a decision written by Chief JUS
tice Harlan Stone, which received a six
to two vote of the nations highest tri-
bunal, it is said that Yamashita receiv-
ed legal trial. The court refused to
intervene in his case.
AS theater commander General
Macarthur may review the trial re-
cords. He has the last voice in settling
Yamashita's fate. Contrary TO the rules
governing courts martial, neither the
War Department nor the President has
authority to intervene.
It is not to be assumed that General
Macarthur, if he finds no error in the
trial records, will stay execution.
There has been considerable public
discussion of the appeal to the Supreme
Court, with feelings running high that
Yamashita should have been taken out
and strung up as leading Japanese
war criminal without even the right
Of trial. If this nation was governed on
the principles that prevail in some nom
democratic countries, that doubtless
would have been done. But in the cir
cumstances, and as an example to other
war criminals, the trial, even the ap-
peal, was in the interest of legal pro-
cedure. Because the law has been OBJ
served to the last letter Yamashita's
execution can cause no distress except
to him.

Unjust To GIs

The decision to permit wives and
families of officers and non-comnlls-
stoned men in the Army to travel over
seas to visit their husbands, but not the
wives and families of enlisted troops,
brings up the question whether officers
of the favored ranks are more home
sick and their spouses and offspring
dearer to them than the wives and
children of G1's.
The War Department explains it's
action by saying housing shortage
was primarily responsible for the pres
ent ban against the enlisted mems
families. The excuse does not stand up,
however, in view of the housing short
age at home.
GIs' families have been living in in
adequate quarters in this country, as
have officers and non-coms', and it is
not probable there is worse shortage
among the ruins of the occupied areas.
It is time the War Department woke
up to the fact that common soldiers
are entitled to equal concessions, when
war is ended, with other mere citizens
who by luck or pull wear special in
sigma on their collars or sleeves.

A Grave Problem

And now, in addition to the troubles
at home that infest his days and nrob-
ably mean wakeful nights, President
Truman must select new ambassador
to the Soviet Union.
W. Averell Hartman is on his wav
home. While he has not actually resign
led, he has let it be known that he will
insist upon being quickly relieved of the
onerous duties of that post.
Considering the peculiar difficulties
in it's relations with this and other
countries, and the fact that there is
likely to be deteri Jration, rather than
improvement, in these relations, Mr..
Truman faces a grave situation.
Whoever the new ambassador may
be, he must possess certain qualifica-
tons seldom required in an envoy. He
must have exceptional attributes as a
diplomat ana at the sane timc he
prominent citizen instead OF a careerist,
as Moscow is exceedingly class con-
scious. He must also possess great
fortune because Moscow goes in for
entertaining in a big way. No official
salary or moderate wealth could carry
an ambassador through period Of any
duration as host in the Russian capital.
It would be disastrous to leave the
post untitled in these times of uncer-
tainty. Mr.. Truman, therefore, must
find gentleman with the wisdom of
Solomon and the wealth of Midas. Who
he will discover with these qualifica-
lions is doubly hard to forecast, for
a Solomon would be too wise to take the
lob and a Midas too interested in his
own business.
Besides, according to the legend,
Midas had ass's ears, which would hard
ly do for an ambassador.

March Of Dimes Theft

Perhaps there are meaner persons,
but whoever stole seven of the coin
boxes containing contributions to the
March of Dimes certainly ranks near
the top.
This money, whatever the total, was
to have gone into the fund which has
for years been doing so much to restore
victims of infantile paralysis to useful
lives and save others from untimely
graves.
The thief can find small solace in
spending the cash thus acquired. On the
contrary, every coin, as it passes his
hand, is more liable to seer his soul
While deploring the fact that any
person in this city could sink so low
it is to be regretted that contributors
during the March of Dimes campaign
fell some $4,000 short of the assigned
goal. The decision is to continue the
drive throughout the balance of the
month in the hope that the deficienc
will be made up.
There will be no further active So
licitation, but an earnest appeal is made
to residents to give something, and to
give more in cases where an initial gift
had been made.
