 Sees MutuoI Basis
BY LARRY SHEPLEY

Naugatuck, Jan. 24-The Rev. Edward R. Hance, pastor of the Congregational church, speaking at the meeting of Women's Society of Christian Service last night in the church hall, declared Russia and the United States differ in social systems and religious prac- tlces, but there is between our two countries the basis for a mutual re- spect and a creative friendship"
 We can, if we will, form a friend snip that will benefit both lan6s and help to advance the Kingdom of God on earth" he added. as he discnssed the economic systems and religious backgrounds of the two countries.
 The Russians conceived the world as a vast brotherhood and indi- yiduality and persons are of smaller account than they are with is.' he said. If we are to get along to- gether, we must learn to appreciate each others history and traditions" he added.
 He traced the history of religion in Russia.
 A brief business session preceded the talk.
 The hospitality committee inc cluded Mrs. Cornelius Van Vlan- dren, Dr. Aida Wentworth. Mrs. Francis zettlemeyer. Mrs. William Woodward and Mrs. Thomas Walsh.

Combat GLs Hit Tiff

Frankfurt, Jan. 24.-UP)-Many combat troops are opposed to re- moval of the ban preventing Ameri- cans from marrying German wo- men, L. Curtis Tiernan, chief of the Army Chaplain Corps in the European Theater, said today.
 Tiernan, former Kansas City priest, said fighting soldiers object to any relaxation of non-fraterniz- ing policies on grounds that these (German) women have been ene- mics and many were agents m kill- ing our men,"
 He said he would be unable to offer much hope under six or eight years" for the three ex-GIs who wrote President Truman asking permission to marry the frauleins they love.
 Tiernan estimated that 250 to 300 soldiers have made similar requests to chaplains. "If the bars on non- fraternization were dropped entirely guess there probably would be over a thousand getting married" he said.
 The priest said the church is not concerned with fraternization poli- cies as long as religion is not af- fected. He said the policy. as outlined by the joint chiefs of staff, was to keep the non-marriage ban into effect until Germany is brought back to her senses"

Boston, Jan. 24.-lUP)-New England must loosen the purse strings of some of its si0O00. .0Oo. .00C in idle funds to help revital'ze the region's declining industrial eeon- omy. according to President Ralph F. Flanders of the Federal Reserve Bank Of Boston.
 Both Flanders and Coy. Maurice J. Tobin told members Of the New England Shoe & Leather AsSocia- ton last night that New England must act progressively to stem indus trial decline.
 Flanders backed the governors program for an appropriation of SlO10.000 for a Massachusetts Com- merce Department which would att tempt to hold present industries in the state and attract new ones.
 Speaking of the ei0000. 900 900 in idle funds tied up in savings and in the hands of trustees, Flanders said that a way was needed to mary New England wealth to New England ideas"
 New England still has the ideas but 1t does not have the funds to support them" he said. ''No enc with the responsibility of manag- ing trust funds who is concerned with putting a solid foundation un- der those funds can fail to he con- ceFned with the low birth rate of new industries in this section.
