Herds Sforve In Colorado

WalSenpurg, Colo, Nov. 12-(UPD Southern Colorado stockmen said hundreds of Siaowbound herds of cattle were desperate for food today as the threat of a new storm hung over the rangeland, already an ocean of snow.
 Emergency battahons of truck drivers and weasel pilots faced aa least three more days of bucking deep snowdrifts to deliver hay and feed to marooned livestock, cut oiz from their normal food supply by accumulation of snow from two se- were blizzards.
 An estimated 30,O00 head of cattle were left Goundering in the SAOW in southeastern Colorado by the storms. In addition, about 100 ranchers and their families found themselves locked in their isolated homes by towering drifts and im- passable roads.
 Forecasts from the u. s. weather Bureau at Denver said two new storms were moving into the region and probably would strike sometime today. The storms were described as Tight" and 1t was h0ped little snow would fan.

COP Hatchet to Cut Up Military Budget

'47 Revenue Is Increased By$79,0OO
 New Tux Rote
 Expected 10 Be
 About 30 Mills

A revised net Grand List estimate of $21s,595, ,000 was today submitted to Mayor John s. Monagan by Chief Assessor Aldro Jenks. The estimate is computed on a basis of a $220,975,00 gross List less $2,3S0,000 in veter- ans property exemptions. The new net figure is $2,926,- 900 more than the previous estimates submitted in Octo- Der when veterans exemp- tions had not been computed nor a final computation made of personal property increases. It is approximately S2,595,0 900 more than the current Grand List.
 The increased List will result In making available approximateiy s7o, 900 more for financing the lS4i fiscal budget now being prepared by the budget director and the Board of Finance. The latter VIII meet at s this afternoon to extend a budget study.
 Based on the current tax rate of 28.75 mills, the gross revenue to be derived from the increase amounts to approximately S66,OOO. Of the lattea figure but 92 percent can he considered for budget akti" mating, as regulated by State Statute, bringing the net revenue to be realized to approximateV S70OOO.
 The greater share of the increase is to be noted in personal property taxes, MT. Jenks today told The Democrat. A small share derives from real-property improvements and building as noted by building permits. The net estimate may vary some by the end of the year when the final List is to be com puted, MT. Jenks said.
 The revenue to be derived will not in itself offset the potential tax rate increase foreseen for Water bury for l947. No final estimate has yet been made as to what the tax rate increase will be but city authorities unofficially foresee an increase of approximately l.25 mills on a 90 mill tax rate. The m- crease is prompted by sharp in- creases in the costs of maintaining the city's welfare department with it's increased numbers of cases, higher costs for general equipment, and, above all, a general increase to be granted all city employees. These are costs confronting most municipalities currently with New Haven, for example. already having increased its tax rate by mills.
 This year the city is operating on a budget estimate of $6.872,5l9.78 and it is reported unofficially that the l947 budget may exceed $7,000,- 900, the highest in the city's his- tory.
 At present the budget director and the Board of Finance. headed by the Mayor, are making an effort to trim many of the individual de- partmental budgets submitted by respective departmental heads. The l947 budget must be prepared and ready to submit to the Board of Aldermen by Nov. 28.

ChurchiIIHits Aqoin Soviet's Iron Curtain
 Charges Russion
 Armies Mcintoined
 On W0r Footing

London, Nov. 12-UP)-Winston Churchill renewed his charge in Commons late today that Russian armies based upon despotic form of government are being main- tained in Europe in vast strength and mostly on a war footing"
 Speaking as leader of the oppoSi- ton, Churchill said that more han one-third of Europe is held under Russian control"
 '@The Soviet military frontier is on the Elbe, and it is impossible to forecast what the future and fate of France will be-" he said.
 Western Armies Melt Away
 Churchill said that the British and American armies in Europe meanwhile had melted away as is inevitable in the case of govern ments resting upon the peoples"
 No fruition has yet attended peace negotiations, even about the smaller satellite enemy powers" he said.
 N1AuANAiAAA odAu b4lC OJpOelLtOIl re- mained unanimous with the govern ment in supporting the United Na- tions, even though that organiza- tion so far had not fulfilled its hopes.
 ''The Foreign Secretary has done his best, and We have given him whatever support is within our pow CT. even sometimes supporting him in events which caused him em- barrassment in other quarters, " Churchill said in paying tribute to Foreign Minister Ernest Bevin.
 Wants Germans to Manage Selves
 "The conservative party cannot accept any responsibility for Pots- dam, as matters were taken out of our hands in the vital phase of these talks"
 Churchill said that "the fact re- mains that IS months after the sur- render of Germany and more than a year after that of Japan, and in spite of the helpful attitude of the United States based on the bi-par- isan action of their two historical parties, the world scene is still dark and confused"
 Tn the forefront of any survey of the world stands Germany. a van- quished nation-stands. no, she is prostrate and shattered" Churchill said.
 We and the Americans continue to rally and administer the German people in our zones at extravagant and almost unbearable cost to our selves and increasing dissatisfaction to the Germans.
 We are not being told and will not attempt to discuss what is hap pening in the Russian zone. But the proper course Is to make the Ger mans earn their own living and man. age their own affairs as soon as pos sible and give them all possible aid while preventing any form of re- armament"

Peru Quake FotaI to 70
 Victims EoII
 Into Pastures

Lima, Peru, Nov. l2-CUP)-Sev- enty persons were killed in an earth quake which struck the foothills of the Andes Sunday, reports from the stricken areas disclosed today.
 Eyewitness reports said earth shocks of considerable intensity continued Monday.
 Thirty persons were killed at Po- maobamba and 40 at SihuaS, where reports said some victims had dis appeared. possibly into Assures torn in the earth.
 Villagers in half a dozen other settlements fled for safety into open places when the rumbling started, eyewitness accounts said. They re- turned to find their homes in ruins and are living in improvised shelters in the open. An eyewitness at Molle- bamba described cloud formed of gases rising from the Assures.
 Reports of an enormous dust cloud over the Maranon River were taken to mean that the quake had caused a landslide.
 The Federal Government promised to send food supplies to the dam aged region.
