Tox Appeals Moy Be Sent To City HoII
 Personal Appearance
 Of Owners Not Necessary

Permission to mail tax appeals to the assessors office has been granted by vote of the Board of Tax Review, chairman Victor Man. bruno said today
 The decision was made following consultation with Assessor Aldro Jenks after the latter had pointed out that state statute provides these forms be filed personally, except by discretion of the local board. MT. Mambruno said that the board in conjunction with the as- sessor, decided to permit the mail- ing of the forms to make it easier for the taxpayers. All appeals must be filed at the assessors office on or before June 10 as provided by the recently passed Validating Act. The state statute makes use of the word lodged" in terms of filing which usually is interpreted as meaning filling in person.
 MT. Mambrunos statement is as follows:
 Regardless of whether or not the technical meaning of the word lodged" requires a phys dcal, personal deposit in the. office of the department of as- sessment, the Board of Tax Re- view feels that 1t should carry out the spirit, as well as the let ter, of the validating act. Conse- quently, any duly-signed motive of appeal containing the required information, actually received in the office of the department of assessment on or before June 10. l946, will be treated by the Board of Tax Review as having been lodged" within the meaning of the validating act.
 I should point out, however. that person who chooses to mail his notice of appeal runs the risk, if he mails it other than by reg istered mail with return receipt requested, of being unable to prove actual receipt of the notice should the occasion for such proof arise.

More Meet This Week
 Bread Shortage
 To Be AIIeViated

The meat supply is expected to increase this week, following a weekend in which beef, lamb and pork were almost entirely unavail- able. Supplies here last week, es- pecially Friday and Saturday, were lower than at any time since the shortage began
 The beginning of the June quota period for slaughtering will mean more meat available for sale, deal CTS reported today. The virtually complete absence of meat last week was blamed particularly on delays in rail shipments and the end of the monthly quota pjeriod.
 Chickens Popular
 Poultry was the principal dish on many dinner tables yesterday. The riday-Saturday shortage extended to such items as frankfurters, saul sage, cold cuts and, in many stores, to canned meat products.
 Increased production this week will alleviate the bread shortage following the Memorial Day shut down, dealers reported. Numerous stores had no bread for sale late last week, and downtown and neighborhood bakeries had a rush of customers.
 Grocers believe canned fruit will remain scare indefinitely, but im- provement in the supply of certain canned vegetables is said to be on the way.

SovietS Hold Jap Armyo as Forced Lobor

Tokyo, June ,3.-(UP)- The first Japanese official repatrfated from Russia charged today that large numbers of former Japanese troops apparently are being used as forced labor in Soviet Siberian camps.
 Goro Morishifna Japanese min ister to the Soviet Union since 1922, told the United the United Press that it was impossible to estimate the number of men since all saw was from a ltranS-Siberian win- dow He added that barracks and hosiptals, in converted prison camps, obviously were housing Japanese troops.
 Such news, coming from the first repatriated Japanese official, is re- garded as significant here inasmuch as the Russians subscribed to the Potsdam Declaration which speci- fled that Japanese military forces after being disarmed-would be permitted to return home
 To date no disarmed Japanese troops have been repatriated from Manchuria. The pre-War strength of the strong Kwantung Army, the main Japanese Manchurian force, was variously estimated between a half million and a million men.
 Morishima said he had no oppor- tunity to talk with any of the men but said he could identify positively their nationality and their status as they wore regular Japanese mili- tary uniforms stripped of insignia, khaki leggingms and field caps.
 At one point Morishima saw a group of Japanese working as skilled mechanics in an industrial plant.
 During brief stopover in Vladi- vostok he said he saw another group equipped with axes apparently on. their way to cut wood, Morishima said the men seemed well fed and as far as I could judge there seemed to be no evidence of suffering or maltreatment."
 Morishima said the Soviet treat ment of Japanese diplomats during the eight month detention in Mos COW was flair and formal" He said he was allowed to stroll MoscoW's streets freely and purchase all his personal needs.

Hatch, dean of Wilmington Cathedral, Will mington, Del.,. declared in a bacca- laureate sermon at St. Johns Epis- copal Church yesterday morning, that happiness is achieved through self-sacrif1cing love.

 Dr. Wing-Tsit, professor of Chin- ese culture at Dartmouth College gave the commencement address, choosing as his theme, World. Per- spectiye."
 Such an outlook, he pointed out, can be achieved through under standing different points of views, by placing emphasis on similarities rather than obvious differences and synthesis.
 Honors for four years of academic work went to the following girls from Waterbury: Carol Burke, who received first honors, Joan Tracey second honers, and Nancy Budde, fourth honors.
 Other local students who were awarded prizes and given honor able mention were: Carlotta Sher- well, Anne Conway, Joan Tracey, Betty-Anne Gillett, Nancy Tufel, and Lois Johnson.

ToIbot Folks
 To Graduates

Cheshire, June 3.-Representative Joseph E. Talbot today urged graduates of the Cheshire Academy to develop an interest in corlimun- ity affairs. The Connecticut con- gressman was the principal speak CT at the Academy's commence ment exercises in the Episcopal Church here.
 Forming the communities and towns the very backbone of our country's form of Government, T Congressman Talbot stated 1t was the duty of everyone to know what the legislators are doing.
 Tt Is your duty because if you of this generation fail to recognize the responsibility of directing the world to permanent peace, then civ- ilization will very likely be lost" Talbot said.
 The Naugatuck Congressman pointed to advanced educational facilities as proof that gradua ss today have better advantages than those who are today's leaders, and said 1t was his opinion the present generation is better informed of what is going on in the world.
 T think 1t would be safe to say this generation, that you repre- sent is more fully appraised of what the economic, political and social trends are than any other genera tion before you," Talbot added.
 Congressman Talbot concluded 1t is the responsibility of the present younger generation to give the world q lasting peace.
 Talbot, who is being mentioned prominently as likely COP. Gub- ernatorial candidate in the coming Fall election, will also deliver talk before the North Haven Republican Club tonight.
