day in a second-floor apartment
where she had been beaten, strang-
led and the letters ga" and Il"
crudely branded on her abdomen
apparently with acid.
Lying face down on the floor be-

Mary Duffy had a broken jaw, her
face was battered badly and her
cheeks cut. There were marks
about the throat. The room showed
no signs of a struggle.
A 46-year-old painter who was
held for questioning without charge
told Detectives he discovered the
body upon return from a visit to
several taprooms. He said Mrs.
Duffy was estranged from her hus-

Figures PROVE Vets
Acute Housing Needs

WASHINGTON, June 8-U.R-
The government today came up
with figures to prove what every
body already knew: married vet
Grams are having a tough time
finding homes.
And those that do, the govern
ment said, often pay more than
they had planned.
The Veterans administration
followed up 5000 typical enlisted
men who were discharged last De-
cember. After four months, VA
found, less than 40 per cent of the
married group had found adequate
places to live.
The figure included many who
merely came back to homes that
wives or relatives had never Civ
en- up. Only IA per cent had found
new living quarters.

You and Imitation!

seems clearly indicated that the American public is about to find itself again awkwardy faced with the Jux deposition of empoye demands for higher wages ana employer counter-proposas The matter almost re- solved in the instance of the automobile industry and is nd caed here in Waterbury in the brass industries These negotiations may end in series of strikes which upon con- cluson may result in pay scales in many industries
 Automobile manufacturers and others have been and yet needeep the lush growth of the greatest possible market they have had Somewhat concomitant with this the fact that union workers to some extent are of Federal bonds life insurance savings accounts hes automobiles and payers of income taxes the lat of indicative of healthy personal state These bonds and insurance savings undoubtedly were accumulated to purchase something of vaue-a house. new automobile

 The effect of higher wages has been to great extent to reduce what otherwise would have been the abnormal profit from selling in market alegedy superior to production capacities During the years this abnormal proht was eliminated by the excessprots tax levied on corporate profits The subsequent increase in prices allowed by tne OPA and the recent lifting of the majority of these restrlc
 ons tend to eliminate the procedure of curbng abnormal profits by means of higher wages.
 The result has been that the cumuated earnings of the workngman held in the form of bonds and insurance substantially reduced purchasing by these price increases ceiling elimination Thus these savings have become insufficient in terms of their original purpose The homes of the wogmen have become subject to increased property taxes while the wage earners find no substantial reduction in income taxes. Such effects the employees tax bill further related to the increasing costs which must to operate such as in the case of Waterbury Meanwhile and somewhat ironically the stocks finds the market values of his securities increased.
 It is interesting speculate to what might have happened had wages been frozen and price reductions ordered finished products It might have been that the manufacturer operating under reduced selling price would have realized unreasonable profit it might have been that strikes would have Occurred certainly would have been that bonds insurance and savings would have been found ample for the purposes nended seems certain that property values would have remained fairly constant and income taxes would undoubtedly have been reduced.
 Perhaps it is fair draw the conclusion that in period when wages continuously rising that those who spend each weeks pay fully when received realize the maximum benefits; whereas those who inclined to effect savings unduy penazed during the period that imitation begins to develop

Cotton Market Moral

WASHINGTON, Nov. I3-(NEAD-The big breaL in the cotton market offers a moral
 No. this isn't going to be any deep-dish analysis of why the price of cotton went down Not even the experimenting the people who have lost lot of money on the exchange in recent weeks and should therefore. know all about it-can agree answer to that one Some say it's politics some say it's the spectators. the bulls the bears. the shorts, the longs the overs. Only a very stupid person would suggest 1t was simply a result of the law of supply and demand operating in free economy, and there fore no more than what you'd expect.
 Of course this situation isn't funny to the people who have got caught in the rotton-market wringer and lost their shirts. both cotton and financial But there Is nice parallel between what has hap pened in the cotton exchanges ano what could con ceivably happen on the stock market, if Nature and
 free enterprise Republican economy allowed to take their courses
 It just happens that at this particular time the Wall Street boys gre agtatng for the removal of gov restrictions stock tracing. The Securities playing the stock market must put up cash money for the full amount of his purchase. Buying mar gin-which Is the polite phrase for buying the instalment plan. on credit with borrowed money Is strictly forbidden.
 The Idea of the stock market asitatOrs is that if buying on margin were again permitted. more people would start buying stocks, prices would go up. and strength would be given to a saggng market.
 But the purpose of the SEC ruling is to prevent this kind of inflationaEy buying and to keep out Of the market the people who would trade on margin. In other words it's to protect people who might get hurt If they went into debt to take flyer on some later that 1t went down.

CALoRIEs AT DINGLEY DELL
(New York Herald.Trfbune


 There is, of course, no way of estimating what was the average civilian food consumption in terms of calories during the famous Christmas party at Dingley Dell, where Mir. Pickwick danced SO sur- prisingly and Mir. Snodgrass kissed Miss Emily under the mistletoe. But when one recalls to what a rich extent food and drink figured in the novels of Charles Dickens it is easy to believe that at this time of continued rationing the pages of that convivial writer must make tantalizing reading in Great Brit ain.
 However, as preliminary small cheer to a nelt-tightened nation. Food Minister Strachey announced this week that there would be more to eat during the Christmas period. The weeks meat ration is to be increased from one shilling and four pence to two shillings. An ex- tra pound of white sugar and a half pound of brown will be granted. with an allowance of a half pound of candy for each person under IS and over 70.
 This will be news welcomed by Britain which has had a sad success sion of blows under the belt during the last few months-the unpopular bread rationing. the strike of meat handlers and the serious loss to the wheat harvest caused by torrential rains. The point is, of course. that the long-rationed British people have always had good appetites. The fat boy in "Pickwic Papers" was frank about this, and said T likes eating" The occasionally praised but more often profanely treated climate of the British Isless, has, We think, much to do with creating a need for a caloric iI- take of such things as the meat pies and the hot brandy and water which pass luxuriously across the pages of English novels. At an ap- preaching Christmas season. then, when the British climate may be doing it's best to produce heartier appetites than ever, one pauses to sympathize with British rationees hoping that they manage to make Food Minister Strachey's little go a long way.

SYNTHETIC PENICILLIN
(New York Times)

(New York Times)
 The news that Dr. Vincent du vi- gneaud and his associates of Cor nelIs department of biochemistry have discovered the penicillin can be synthesized does not mean that the vats and flasks are no longer necessary for the cultivation of molds. Only a minute amount of the synthetic product has been iso- lated--too little for chemical study. But that synthetic penicillin has been obtained there can be. little doubt. The Cornell synthetic meets all the standard physical and bi- ological tests. which means that 1t does all that natural penicillin will do and that It's behavior Is exactly like that of penicillin. A problem which has occupied chemists ever since penicillin was introduced in clinical practice is not yet com pletely solved, because the struc- ture of the synthetic molecule is not known with certainty. Struc- ture is important because on 1t de- pend the properties of organic molecules. Nevertheless, the achieve ment of Dr. du Vigneaud and his colleagues is outstanding because Of the medical vistas that are exposed.
 There is every reason to suppose that chemical history will be re- peated. Hundreds of organic dyes, drugs and flavors have been sym thesiZed which have no counterpart in nature. So with this new dis covery. It is no wild fantasy to imagine the chemist constructing synthetic penicillins that nature never troubled to make-penicillins that will be specific for tuberculosis. leprosy and score of other baffling infectious diseases.
 The work done at Cornell is an- other example of what cooperative research can accomplish. Before the Cornell experimenters al- nounced their findings the Commit tee on Medical Research of Wash- ington and the Medical Research Council of London summarized in a brief preliminary report conclu- sions on the chemistry of the nat ural penicillins (there are half a dozen) reached by twenty one American and seventeen British or ganizations-most of them indus trial laboratories where teamwork is the rule. Out of this pooled knowl- edge of the foremost American and British chemists came the best ra- tionalization available. up to the end of last year. of the constitution of the natural penicillins so far dis covered-a foundation on which synthesis could build.
 Cornell biochemists were among those who framed the report. Build ing on the foundation which they helped to lay, they scored the tri- umphy now announced. How many were engaged in pursuing various
