 Surpr.slngly, France was blamed with mistreating Spanish Republi- can exiles. Spain also blamed France for attacks against Spanish consulates in Alglers and Southern France, receiving former spanish Republican cabinet nlinis- ters and campaigning against Spain in the uNO.

Dulles Urges Stiff Policy
Continued from Page D

(Continued from Page D that the United States accept the leadership in attaining the goals of the United Nations Charter.
 Resolutions alone, he said, would be trading fin counterfeit coin"
 The most discouraging aspects of the London conference, Dulles said, were the disputes developing on the following issues.
 Iran-"the demand of Iran for withdrawal of Soviet troops was, l believe, spontaneous. But the Soviet Union believed it had been instigat- ed by Britain. It retaliated by bring ing charges against Great Britain on account of the presence of Bri- tish troops in Greece and Java.
 The Levant-Russia sought a resolution "even more condemna- tory than that sought by the coni- plaints themselves" in the dispute over the removal of French and Bri- tish troops from Lebanon and Syria. Russia alone refused to approve a compromise resolution offered by the United States.
 Labor = Member states whose governments were sympathetic to Communism or subject to the politi- cal pressure of Communist parties, sought a position of special privilege for the World Federation of Trade Unions, with which the CLIO. is affiliated but not the A.F.L."
 Refugees Certain delegates sought to purge refugee camps of unfriendly political thinking, espe- cially refugees from Poland, the Baltic States and Yugoslavia.
 Praises UNO Work
 This led to one of the most dramatic episodes of the conference, Dulles said, "a debate where Mrs. (Eleanor) Roosevelt. with moving simplicity, pleaded for tolerance and where MT. Viashinsky (Russlan Chief Delegate Andrei Vishinsky) with the explosive power of Q great prosecutor, denounced tolerance as . dangerous weakness"
 As outstanding achievements of the London meeting, Dulles praised teh Job of organization, the progress made in establishing a colonial trus. teeshlp system, serious eonsidera- ton given relief, and proceedings Of the Security Council (Whichl showed that irritating political sores. when exposed to light. may be cured"

 Paris conditions were reported improving, and airport officials here said c Paris landing this afternoon was possible if the runways were cleared.
 The weather over Madrid was un- favorable, but air authorities said the planes probably could have landed had 1t not been for the necessity of going to Paris on the way here.
 One Night Left
 The revised flight plans left for only one overnight stop, either at Madrid or at Lisbon, but not both as originally planned, in order to get Spellman home by Tuesday for the reception there.
 GA Lisbon dispatch said Spell- man was expected to arrive there at p. m. Sunday. Premier Antonio de Oliveira Salazar planned to give banquet for Spellman)
 At his press conference spellman said the Spanish government dinner at which he had been expected to meet Franco was planned for Satur- day night ''and we won't be there"
 GA United Press dispatch from Madrid said the Spanish govern ment also had planned afternoon ceremony in which Spellman was to bless 5000 Spaniards kneeling in the Central Postof1lce Square).
 Delay in the arrival at Rome of the two planes assigned to the Spellman party because of the wea- ther was the reason given for the 24-hour delay in departure. Spell man said it was essential that he be in New York on Tuesday for a reception in the Metropolitan Opera House at S:30 p. m.
 The Cardinal indicated that he might stop in Madrid only a few hours. He avoided a definite ans- wer about his plans for Madrid. or whether he would choose Madrid or Lisbon for the single overnight halt possible under the new flight sched- ule.
 GA United Press dispatch from Lisbon said that Cardinal Cere- jeira had invited Spellman to be his guest in CereJeira's house and the ofilcial palace there).
 Spellman was asked if weather was the only reason for the post ponement of his departure. He re- piled, the planes are not here. That's all there Is to 1t, and that's obvious"
 Newsmen pressed the Cardinal for a definite statement as to whether he was going to see Franco, or de- sired to do so.
 Spellman replied, anything be- yond this obvious in this whole site uation is due to the genius of news paper readers"

There was slfnlnearce In one ra- mark that Daniel J. Leary is cred- tied with making during his deten- ton in Chicago this week. The suh- ieot ol Waterbury finances appar- entity was under discussion and the charges preferred against him of conspiring to defraud the city. Mir. Leary pointed out that his otiice- that os controller-handled e00, ,00O,- 0c0 during his inoumbency and that he was variously charged with mis- appropriatlng one million and then three and one-half millions. It has been stated before by pretty good authorities that it would be next to impossible to prove which expendi- lures were legal and which were H. legal. Take the case just recently of Hartford. During It's past fiscal year certain departments were al- lowed to spend more than their budgets called for and now it's nee cessRry Co provide deficiency appro- priatlons for them. Apparently that was c. k. ct the time, although there b plenty of criticism of 1t now.

However, this same topic bringl up an interesting point, one which hes been discussed before in this column and probably will continue Go be for c long time to come. City oficials and those in the State Tax Department use two entirely df- gerent figures as Waterbury's bor- rowing capacity. Both are sizable ones, but that of the Tax Depart ment is the larger, which is all the more interesting. Tn other words the Tax Department ofIlcials on the basis of an audit made early in 1o44 of Waterbury's bonded debt program Etated that many of it's general ob- ligations by virtue of section wriss tan Into the acts of authorization were not to be counted in esimating the city's borrowing capacity. Local ofncials did not recognize this ex- sIudable feature as one in perpet" uiEy, but claimed that 1t was inser- ted ak the time of authorization simply because the city had gone over it's debt limit then.

Here's the reason one partlcular isgue of bonds was listed among "exoaudAbnes" "-QuOting the Spe. clal Act Oe 1887 authorizing Wa ferbury to issue abbatOir bonds, .. "The bonds issued under the pro- visi0nB of this act shall not be guh- ject G Che five per cent limitation prescribed by section 9Oc of the 1885 supplement to the general statutes or to any provision of the charter Of the city of Waterbury i'm conflict herewith. Similar provisions were written into four issues of Street and General Im- provement Bonds, six issues of Funding Bonds, one issue. of School Bonds. At the end Of 10AS the total outstanding in these items was S4,293, 900, while the grand total Of general obligation bonds at the same date was $7,- 1AB, ,Soo. The difference between these represents the amount sub- joct Co debt IiImitatiOn-S3, ,152,- 800. Waterbury's borrowing ca- paclty is over 10,0o0. 900, SO if this system were used the city could actually issue another S7,00O, 900 in bonds, something it's ever un. likely to do in one fell SwOOp.

All this hullahAloO over Water bury's airport, raised mainly by the Council Of Community Clubs in the belief that the city author ltles were going 0 start spending large sums this year for lts devel. opEnent, has Q brassy ring tO it. Tying lt up tO the clty's bonded debt position was certainly . mis. take on the part of those handling Community Club publicity. In the GFst place the wrong figures were cited and the wrong method of determining borrowing capacity was used. Then when on attempt was made Co show what the figures are and how they are determined there was Q shout of double talk" etc. It does look, though as ie someone ventured out be. yOnd his depth In tackllng the subject of bonded dept, debt llnai. tatlon, and borrowing capacity of this municipality.
