 Atty H. c. Brogan complimented the Non-Partisans and said that they gave an opportunity for the exchange of ideas and that the Borough, Town or New London which will soon be part of us" depends upon progressive ideas of its citizens. He congratulated the Non n-Partisans for the municipal in- terest that they had created and declared that he was thrilled and pleased at the invitation to attend their annual banquet and, hoped that there would be other oppor- tunities to take down our hair and exchange ideas
 Supt. of Schools S. B. Butler ex- plained the difficulties the school department was having with Grot- on in growing pains, that although the school lists have increased 40 per cent the grand list has only in- creased 4 per cent, leaving much to be needed in the way of funds to properly pay its teachers. That although at present Federal funds are available to help out that in January this aid would cease. It is difficult for the Town officials to meet this problem justly and equitably.
 Col. Mike Petroski on rising to the occasion quoted Marc Antho- ny's words to Cleopatra, T have not come here to talk" But he felt that if the Groton Non-Partisan Voters League kept up its fine work it could do lot of good and l New London would be begging to be annexed to Groton!

spoke proudly of Commissioner Edward Hickey as the "Sparkplug" responsible for the finest state po- lice force in the nation, and of the Groton Non-Partisans as the "Sparkplug of Groton."
 Joseph Glidden, the burgess who has taken a lead in the Beach for Groton, reported that work is pro- greSsing and the Groton Beach should be open the end of June or the 1St of July.
 President Vito DeNoia of the League thanked the speakers and said that he felt that meetings of this sort were good for the com munity where they could sit down and eat a good dinner and patcn LID their differences while rubbing elbows with the Town Fathers. He congratulated the town polls for being good sports and assured them that the Non-Partisans would con- tinue to fight WITH the Town of- ficials for the continual betterment of OUR COMMUNITY.

marks were brief and to the point and highly in approval of the Non- Partisans' constructive criticism in local politics, maintaining that healthy criticism never hurt any, one. He concluded by reminding the Non-PartiSans that they were part of a township and that they should work for the benefit of the town as a whole and not devote their time to sectionalism.

the evening and came prepared de- claring that he was more fortunate than MT. Crandall .as he had ex- pected to be called upon for a few remarks on Groton. Warden Card in his talk dwelt upon Groton's great potentialities as an industrial area and declared that he and the other town officials were working very hard to awaken interest in further sound industrial develop ment and that the decision of the Pfizer Company to settle in Groton was the turning point in the indus trial expansion for our township. He was only too happy that the Non-PartiSans' activities had stirred up so much interest in Groton as the Town Fathers plans for our town needed the definite team work of every one of its citizens. Warden Card humorously dropped the re- mark for Mayor Mays benefit that it didn't seem too far fetched an idea to see Groton coming into its own in the not too distant future and annexing the City of New Lon- don.
 Mayor May when introduced to the gathering bit upon the bait and declared that it was impossible for New London to carry on any of it's enterprises without the Borough and Township of Groton. He called upon New London residents to form 8 like Non-Partisan Voters League to cut out local dictator ships, and concluded by declaring himself heartily in favor of 'Groton annexing New London.
 Waldo Clarke, when introduced, gave great credit for the Pfzer 1Companys decision to settle in Groton to First Selectman Charles Crandall, to Warden Arthur Card, Lem Dutton and Atty H. c. Bro- gan. He gave through the years resume of his activities in trying to develop the New London-Grot- on HarbOr as one of the first sea- ports of the land. At the time of the stock market crash in '29 1t was almost an accomplished fact that the Hamburg Line was to open four-day liner service from the Port of New London. The New York Central was ready to run a special Boat Train in two hours from New York City, and Montreal. St. Louis and Chicago were mak- ing plans to ship from New London and utilize the European passenger service which would take two days off the regular time for trans-At- lantic crossings.

However, in the near future the company is plan- ming on opening an administrative and employment office at their Vic tory Yard site. The present power plant located in the yard is suffi- cient to create power enough to furnish light and heat. MT.

Zionists Wary
OF Russians

For years, contending European
nations have battled for the friend
ship and support of the Arabs. This
struggle was intensified when, long
before World War I, the Germans
started their "drang mach Osten'
and the British heightened their eff
forts to placate the Arabs in order
to protect their empires life-lines
and to prevent spread of a dis
affection to the Moslems of India
Now Russia steps into the pic
ture. Reports from Baghdad
tell us of the spread of commu-
nistic sympathies throughout
the Middle East. And the Jews
of Palestine find their troubles
increasing.
The announcement of Britain's
granting of independence to Trans
Jordania heightened Zionist resent
ment, for TranS-Jordania is a part
of Greater Palestine and was sup
posed to be included in the territory
allotted to the National Jewish
home.
The Zionists claim the British &C.
ton is part of scheme to prevent
the United Nations from creating
trusteeship of Greater Palestine
which would include Trans-Jordania,
as the old League of Nations man.
date did. They also make the
charge that the purpose is "to
thwart Jewish rights by bolstering
pro-Axis forces"
The Zionists feel too that Russia
is playing a similar game. They
point out the inconsistency of MAX
ing friends with the Arabs, whose
party leader in Palestine, Jamal
Husseini, is calling for the reinstate-
ment of the Grand Multi, a Hitler
collaboration.
In his testimony before the Brit
ish-American inquiry committee
Husseini said: Germany was not
our enemy and therefore we had
no interest in the war;" adding:
1--WE read somewhere that it was
a Jewish war"
The Zionists believe they have dis
covered an additional reason for
Russian luminosity toward their
efforts in Palestine. Like most of
the causes of racial and other rue
tons, it is fear. They say that the
Soviets are afraid that if the Pales-
tine colony becomes a success it
will prove an entering wedge for
western capitalism in the Near
East. There is really nothing in
common between the feudalist, un-
progressive Arab world and the eco
nomic and social principles repre-
sented by the Soviet system. The
Arabs can't do the Soviets any harm
but they could be used, the Zionists
say, to hamstring what might be-
come a live and up-and-coming
Jewish nation imbued with capital
istic ideas, operating too close for
communistic comfort.

Arthur Kittredge, was reported killed in
World War I. Arthur had not been killed,
but taken to a German hospital, badly
dfshgured and not wanting to live. He
finally reached an agreement with DR..
Jacoby that II the doctor would see he
was reported dead, he would permit DR..
Jacoby to try to make him sound in body.
DR.. Jacoby talked Arthur into a study
OF the German language. He was de.
termined that his patient should find
some interest In life. Arthur not only had
lost interest in living but believed that
living In his useless wrecked body would
be impossible.

He went to work. He worked as
hard as Jacoby would let him. With

prised to find his study interesting

I was burning up with curiosity

Jacoby, "but I'm ashamed to find
how I neglected my own species.
You don't know how glad I am

Jacoby shrugged. where did you
get the impression I was letting
you do it? Ineed you. One of these
days, when the country is normal
again, maybe I'll be able to get
enough technicians. But now-!"
Though at first Kessler undertook
only the simplest routines in the
laboratory, they absorbed all his en-
ergy. He was still far from strong.
The work was new, his reports had
to be made in a language he still
found unwieldy, and learning to
make one hand serve the purpose of
two required thousand adjust
ments. But it meant that he was
back in the sphere of active men,
doing something that needed to be
done, and occupation relieved him
of leisure for brooding.

the front door, saying,

WASHINGTON. - Gradually the
net is closing in about the "ether
traitors" American citizens who
broadcast in English from Berlin
and elsewhere for the Nazis before
and during the war. Recently the
(in)famous Axis Sally" was taken
into custody. She devoted her air
time to making G.I.s feel homesick
overseas by dwelling on the joys
and comforts back in the good old
U. S. A. Another traitor is "Kal-
tenbach," an ex-Iowa boy who tried
to awake nostalgia with corny real
ism about life down on the farm.
Then there Is Constance Drexel,
who pretended to be a cultured
member Of the old Philadelphia
family whose name she used as a
pseudonym when she worked on
American newspapers. She was
really born in Germany and brought
here by her father who became nat
uralized. She was known here as
pro-Hitler before the war. She made
one broadcast for an American net
work when I was in Berlin, but I
helped to make 1t her last.
1t is hard to prove treason. You
have to have witnesses who actual
ly saw the person in the act Of
broadcasting. When the Americans
took over German radio our methods
were far different. We used a
proved weapon-the truth.

u. S. Controls

When active military operations
changed over to occupation, the In
formation Control division laid
down three-point program. The
plan was negative at first-the wip-
ing out of all Nazi media, including
radio, to make way for American
media.
Next came actual broadcast
ing. The early broadcasts were
very stark and stern. DEGREES,
regulations, warnings to the
people. No concerts, no plays,
no music. Now we are in phase
two and the Germans are find
ing more variety along the radio
dial. Entertainment, as well as
news and education, is being
provided by the led.
The third phase will begin when
German radio stations are turned
over to the Germans themselves,
much as the newspapers have been
allowed to operate under German
direction under license. A military
government official examines and
criticizes the newspaper after it ap-
pears. Presumably, radio programs
will be supervised in roughly the
same manner.
The first station to be taken over
by the Americans was Radio Lux
embourg. 1t was in pretty good
shape, for the Germans had left in
too much of a hurry to do any big
scale demolition.
Next station to go to work for
the army was Frankfurt; then SUIT
CART; then Munich. When I was in
Germany, because of trouble with
land lines, the Munich-Stuttgart-
Frankfurt network was not running
regularly. Perhaps it is now.
Radio is supported in Ger
many as it was before the war,
by tax on each set. Why, l
asked, couldn't radio owner
conceal his set and thus get out
Of paying the tax? l was told
there was no danger Of that.
If anyone concealed the fact he
had radio, his jealous neigh
bors would tell on him. The
Nazi squealing habit is still
strong in Germany.
All programs at present are in
the German language, except for a
few in Polish for displaced persons
in camps. There is large proper
ton of factual world news broad
cast and an increasing number of
German musical programs.
On the educational side, there are
talks by German officials, and
American military government men.
Some jazz and swing, and lately,
plays. The program periods have
been running as long as As minutes
which seems long time for Amer
lean radio fans-and now they are
being extended to one hour.
