this was Just an example of how
far production had to go to catch
up with demand.
The Snyder report also said that
because of the business activity in
the country, the Federal deficit
would be cut. Mr.. Truman said he
would have a statement on that
at his next press conference, which
would show just what the reduc-
ton amounted to.
Urges Extension of OPA.
In his statement, the President
said he hoped Mr.. Snyder's report
would be studied carefully by every
skeptic who thinks that this country
is in bad shape and is not dong a
remarkable Job in changing over

Mr.. Snyder ascribed consumer
scarcities to strikes and to the added
fact that uncertainty over the fu'
ture of OPA is causing some sup.

OF getting better prices II controls

Employment Is High.
Mr.. Snyder also said that non
agricultural employment topped the
pre-V-J Day figure in February
when it reached 44.70o,00o and that
the jobless total was only around
100000 and probably will not ex-
ceed 3,500,000 in the second quarter
of the year. Private wage payments
were reported near the VI Day

The report added that business
held $4,000, 100000 in liquid assets,
and individuals, 5000, 100000 at
the end of 1945, for the largest re-
serve ever accumulated in the
country, and that consumer pur-
chasing is at the highest point in
our history" with business eXpendl-
lures also remaining high.

however, the director warned once
more against infationary pressures

Iraq and Syria, meeting at Meha-
bad. have proclaimed a new and
greater Kurdish state centered at
the Iraqi oil city of Mosul.

would be in danger if his presence
in Teheran was disclosed, said the
military forces of Ghazi Mohammed
the head OF recently proclaimed
independent Kurdish republic
seated at Saujbulagh. had obtained
20 tanks, trucks and a number
of mortars from Russian unit in
Miyanduab," northwest of Saul
bulagh.
CA Teheran dispatch filed
earlier and received in New York

tain as saying Russian troops
were withdrawing from Miyan-
duab).
The chieftain, who claims to lead
1000 mounted riflemen, asserted In
an interview that Iranian. Iraqi and
Turkish Kurds were represented
among the tribesmen conducting the
present preliminary actions" against
1ranian army garrisons at Sardasht

to an organization meeting had
mapped proposed borders to EN-.
brace most OF the Kurdish tribes OF
Iraq. Syria, Turkey and Iran, to the
East. He reported the proposed bor-
ders would follow practically the
same lines as the Kurds proposed in
the treaty of Sevres concluded Au-
gust 10, 1920.
This treaty, which would have
wound up war affairs between the
Allied powers and Turkey, was never
ratified and was later superseded
by the Treaty Of Lausanne.

 The mastering out pay was au- thorised to start February 3, iDl4 and made retroactive to December 2, i04i. Consequently, all those vet- erans discharged prior to February 3, l944 were required to make ap- plication for the payment.
 The Commission also suggested that veterans who received other than honorable discharges during this retroactive period and intend to apply for a review of their dis- charges, also apply for the muster ing out pay before February 3, of this year so they will be eligible for 1t in the event their discharges are made honorable.
 Director James M. Quinn of the state commission pointed out also that in the case of any veteran who was entitled to mastering out pay and died before collecting all of it., his wife, children or parents, in the order named, may apply for and receive thes balance.

15O Patients transferred 
 New Structure at
 MIddlet0Wn Finally Z Utilized

Middletown, Jan. l4-In a move designed to enhance their safety from such hazards as fire, nearly 150 patients at the Connecticut State Hospital have been trans- ferred from one of the oldest and most congested buildings to a fire proof structure which has lain idle since completion in 1940, it was reported today by Dr. Edgar C. Yerbury, superintendent.
 The previously unused building was constructed at a cost of $2O0, . GOO for the express purpose of car- ing for tubercular patients. Hos pital authorities. however, have been unable to use its facilities for this purpose because of the acute shortage of nursing personnel since 104O. It is also expected that staff- ing the new building will make il possible to avoid deterioration of facilities and equipment through lack of use and neglect.
 The transfer of the l30 patients all of whom are employed in the various hospital industries, has made it possible to close the north end of the Main Cottage, the build ing where they were previously housed. As result. fire hazards iIl the Main Cottage have been min- imized. The change ha salso result ed in a substantial improvement ir reducing congested dormitory con- ditions in this building.
 AS soon as plans now in the hands of the architect are com pleted and approved, Dr. Yerbury stated that the Main Cottage is to be torn down and replaced with a 300 bed hospital building. It will be especially designed to provide sleeping and recreational facilities for male patients able to assist iIl such hospital industries as the farm, kitchens. laundry and other maintenance departments.
