Counterfeit Ring Smashed In Europe
 U.E. EmpIoyes
 Arrested for Role
 In Passing Bills

Frankfurt. Aug. 15 - (UP) - American and German police re- ported jointly today the smashing of an international counterfeiting ring in which three U. S. War Depart ment employees were arrested in Frankfurt.
 Authorities said the ring had headquarters in occupied Germany and it's tentaeles reached several European capitals. One official saio that if all the leads in the case were followed, it would take every crim- inal Investigators in the European theater. =
 TWenty-two Germans, one of whom was wanted by the French as 8 suspected war criminal were ar- rested. They were accused of traf- licking in counterfeit $50 bills and English pound notes.
 Two Are Veterans
 The three Americans arrested in the case were former soldiers. They were among those who complain ed recently that they had been held too long without any charges being made against them.
 Officials said that the ring, while spreading bills in Paris, Moscow, Frankfurt and Berlin, also dealt in black marketing and narcotics as sidelines.
 The alleged war criminal, a Frankfurt jeWeler, will be turned over to the French. He was trapped when Americans tried to buy plati- mum from him.
 The biggest cache of bills was found cemented into a wall of a Frankfurt apartment belonging to one Of the Germans.
 Amounts Not Revealed
 The amounts involved in the whole case were not revealed. The inquiry has been going on three months and still was not complete.
 Authorities said the main investi- gation had shifted to Paris. Police wanted all unusually expert en- graver who did a job so elaborate that it must have taken him months to complete plans for print ing notes.
 The jailed Americans had not been charged, since one case was in- complete, authorities said. The other two were reported to have worked in the adjutant Generals Office and the secretariat at U. s. Headquar- ters.

GI Trainees Lose Pay Under New La1v

| TO al monthly earnings oi GI-on-the-job and apprenticeship trainees are now limited to maxi mum of S20O as result of bill passed just prior to adjournment of Congress. This fact was verified for The Democrat today by Mack John son, spokesman for the Press Re lations Department of the Wash ington office of Gen. Omar W. Bradley, Administrator of Veterans Affairs.
 There are approximately $50 such trainees in Waterbury and 54563 in Connecticut. Many of these veter- ans will have their current benefits reduced. -.: =
 According to terms of the new bill the traineeS combined earned salary and subsistence training allowance provided by the government cannot exceed SIS a month for the veteran without dependents and S200 for the trainee with dependents.
 To Curb Excesses
 That is the exact interpreta ton of the bill, MT. Johnson told The Democrat. While we realize there will be instances where some train ees will be affected, it will curb the unfair excesses now being practic- ed"
 Under terms of the original bill the only limit on total compensa- tion was the maximum salary set by the employer for a trainee who had completed his course. Thus a trainee could receive the entire sub Sistence allowance of S65 or 80 a month, based on dependency if, when combined with his salary, it did not exceed that maximum sal ary. or else receive that part of his allowance which, when added to his salary, equaled, but did not ex- C>. r@

 The reaction of Bowles' support- CTS to Senator McMahon's action will be closely watched by political observers. Labor organizations have been strong in support of Bowles as have been several Democratic local organizations in the State, notably that of John Golden in New Haven.
 One likelihood is that C.IO. and A-F.L. leaders will ask Senator Mo- Mahon to postpone making his de- cision public, meantime trying to cahnge his mind. The CJ.O. is said to have high regard for Lieutenant Governor Snlow but are even more

Second Shpiment Of Roifa Refugees To Occur Todoy

Jerusalem, Aug. 15-UP) A telephoned warning that the Jerusalem general post office was about to be blown up sent hundreds of employees scrambling from the building today and tied up communica- tions for three hours.
 The underground's war of nerves against the British was in full tilt. The anony- nous warning that the post-offce was marked for destruction was the second such message in two days.
 CA Jerusalem dispatch to the
 Exchange Telegraph reported
 that Barclays Bank and the municipal building also received
 warnings and were evacuated.)
 Many of the employees refused to return to work even after an ex-, hauStiVe search of the building had uncovered no explosive. The warn-j lngs were similar to that last month which preceded the blowing up of the King David Hotel.
 A second shipment of SIS Jewish refugees to Cyprus from the en- battled harbor of Haifa probably will occur today. increasing expec. tatlons of an armed outbreak.
 Security forces were strengthen- ed In Haifa as the dingy refugee vessel "Katriel Yaffe" with its car- go of uncertif1ed immigrants was tied up behind the British cruiser Mauritius. Deportation was expect- ed to be carried out in the same manner as the shipment of 1900 re- fugees Tuesday.

 according to a BEG report
 heard by NBC) .-.
 An air of expectancy hung over Haifa. Police clashed with several hundred demonstrators in the city's streets last night, charging them with batons. Several persons were injured slightly. The mass protest followed the funeral of three Jews killed in Tuesdays deportation riot ing.
 The verdict in the case of P Jew lsh youths facing a British military court on charges of attacking the Haifa railroad shops may be de- lIvered today. Life sentences were predicted by observers familiar with military law. If death sentences were imposed, observers believed an outburst of violence would be cer- tain to follow.
 The "Katriel Yaffe" with it's SIS refuges arrived in Haifa early Tues day, as the first load Of refugees was being dispatched to Cyprus. The inn migrants lined the rails last night while JewishsAgency officials shout ed to them from launches. Two of the six eXpectant mothers aboard were taken ashore.
 Strong military guards barred the public from the cargo jetty. Boats with barbed wire cages still were moored in the harbor. Ashore, restaurants and theaters were al- most empty, just as they were in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. British troops avoided the Jewish places of entertainment, even though the army on-fraternization order no longer was in effect.

"One hundred twelve local, State and national organizations are des- cribed in here" Mayor Monagan continued after studying the book let. Anyone needing information for himself or a member of his family can locate easily the proper organization to help him.
 Without these organizations, Wa terbury would be an undesirable place in which to live-pqhysically, mentally and spiritually. Everyone in Waterbury should know more about these organizations. They work in our community for the benefit of all of us. They should be used by all of us in order that we may have happier and healthier city"
