MiIch Admits BeingAryon
By WALTER CRONKITE United Press Staff Correspondent


 Nuremberg, March 12- (UP) = Luftwaffe Field Marshal Erhard Mich admitted under croSs-exam- ination at the war crimes trial to- day that he was of Jewish origin.
 Milch was examined by U. S. Prosecutor Robert H. Jackson after being called as 8 defense witness by Marshal Hermann Goering.
 Milch scowled and flushed under Jackson's questioning.
 Tn 1885," Jackson asked, "Goer- ing had you made @ full Aryan?"
 Milch replied: T was already one"
 Jackson said: "Your mothers husband was 8 Jew and you had to prove lack of" Jewish ancestry and this involved your alleged father?"
 Milch said that was correct but asserted that the mere fact that he had submitted papers to prove his paternity did not indicate that there was persecution of the Jews.
 Milch testified that both Adolf 14AUAC1 d4AQ NfOC4AAAS 3C4uOC0 IO OO- lieve reports of the production ca- pacity of the United States and Russia. He said Goering accused him of being a "defeatiSt" for be- lieving the production figures.
 He said that he believed after March, 194S, that Hitler was ab- normal and that Hitler's doctor knew this. However, he said both he and the doctor were afraid to mention this.
 Because if you had you would have been put in a concentration camp?" asked Jackson.
 No" said Milch, because would have been shot,"
 Milch was questioned about the bombing of Belgrade which was described as murder.
 T know only that there are so many bombings about which such can be said," he replied.
 He said that members of the high command were unable to protest Hitler's plans for the invasion of Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands because Hitler stood before me, made a speech and then walked away. We had no chance (to protest) nor would Hitler have permitted it."

WindhamJoiI Probe Starts

Brooklyn, Conn, March 12-(UP) -Windham county jail, scene of two jail breaks since last Summer, will be investigated by county com miSsioners at 8 hearing Thursday, Commissioner Henry J. Marches Seault said today.
 Sheriff Napoleon J. Fournier, Deputy Jailer Albert J. Piche, and guards Henry J. Somoneau and Ev- erett A. Kimball were asked to ap- pear at the hearing "for the .pur- pose of determining whether reason- able cause exists for the renvoal of any of you from your respective positions and if such causes can be found to exist, then for the purpose of making such removal"
 Meanwhile, state police continued their search for Homer Brown, 19- years-old sailor, and Jacob Yanko- witz, 35, Brooklyn, N. r., who es- caped from the jail last Thursday after slugging Kimball, stealing his keys and $l56 and his automobile.
 Joseph Marshall and Norman Jores, who escaped in jail keeper Arthur Belisle's car last July 19; later were recaptured.

Fr. Sullivan  Council
 Membership Drive and
 Silver Anniversary
 Planned

The Rev. James Sullivan, assistant at St. Francis Xavier Church, ad- dressed members of the Waterbury Council of Catholic Women at an open meeting held last night at the Diocesan Bureau of Social Service, 66 Church Street. Father Sullivan, writer of the weekly column, Mould CTS of Public Opinion which ap- pears in the Democrat, took for his topic the church and economic pro- gress during the past five hundred years.
 Father Sullivan traced the pro- found importance the search for security has placed in the history of the last five hundred years. Dis coveries, social upheavals, the col onization of New England, were eff fects of mans quest for economic freedom, he said. He pointed out that the search still goes on; and oddly enough, the distance between the great mass of mankind and his bread is greater today than ever be- fore in history.
 He said that unless the spiritual dignity of man, as revealed by Christ and proclaimed through the ages by the church, is recognized by the wielders of rower, the physical starvation of man will overtake his spiritual starvation, and all hope will be gone. Historians in the past, Father Sullivan said, were inclined to play up mans interest in search for freedom, whereas the issues ot the day then and now are largely economic and political.
 The meeting was attended by over 75 members. Following Father Sul- livan's talk the women of St. Pat I rick's parish were hostesSeS for the social hour. Miss Lucy Bowes, chair man, presided, and Mrs. Edward J. Mcdonald was in charge of the pro- gram arrangements.
 The executive board met preced- ing the open meeting. It was decid- ed to conduct the 1946 membership drive beginning April and conclud- ing May 13. Mrs. Ruth LaVallee was named chairman for this. It was al- so stated that June 10 is the date chosen for observance of the 18th anniversary of the organization of the Council, affiliate of the Dioces- an Bureau. A special program of speakers and dinner at the Hotel Elton are tentatively planned. It is expected that the Most Rev. Henry J. O'Brien, Bishop of Hartford, will be present,
 Miss BoWes announced last night that the present membership of the Council is S,700 and the goal for 1946, the silver jubilee year, is 5000.
 The Rev. Eugene P. Cryne, direct- or of the Diocesan Bureau, and the Rev. Francis J. Doherty, assistant at St. Patrick'S Church, were present at last nights meeting.

Auxiliary Police in FinalMeetingM Monday Banquet to Mark Fade-Out of War
 Time Organization; Misunderstanding
 Over Meeting Last Evening

Criticism of the Board of Police Commissioners and of the Police Department was expressed last night by Harold c. Powles, treas- urer of the Waterbury Auxiliary Police Unit which disbanded after four years of service in which 1t did over 4,000 hours of duty in aS- sisting the local police.
 In meeting last night in the Drill Rooms of the Police Depart ment, MT. Powles said that the fail- ure of officials of the Board of Com missioners to be present at the cere- monies was "a poor reward" for the services given by the volunteers.
 Sgt. James Magner wi1O acted as liaison officer between the DepaAt- ment and the unit said that he had not been advised of the meeting.
 Planning Banquet
 At last nights meeting 1t was voted to hold another meeting at Headquarters at p m. Monday for the purpose of outlining plans for a formal banquet to mark the off1- cial disbandment of the unit. It was also voted that the present mem bers would divide $412 in dues among themselves.
 Disbandment of the Auxiliary Po- lice was voted upon at meeting last week of the Board of Police Commissioners which was informed by Corp. Counsel Maurice T. Healey that further service by them would be illegal according to a ruling by Governor Raymond E. Baldwin to the effect that all auxiliary police units were to be dissolved six months after the end of the war.
 The unit was formed in March, 1942 and reached a peak member ship of 160 in the summer of 1943. At last nights meeting all of the remaining 42 members attended. Since the start of the unit almost

 Your shorts are ragged2 I have the address of a fellow who has B. 696, 6,127 pairs for sale, including B. pOO6, ,029 in size 34 alone.
 The government wons this hab- erdashery. The Navy doesn't want it any longer, and why 1t isn't helping to cover the nakedness of American men is a mystery that Senator James M. Mead, of NY, is trying to fathom. He is amazed Me, too.
 What happened was that I was deep in the bowleS of the capitol, burrowing into the files of the sem ator's war inves %gatirg committee. I was jotting down notes on army surpluses, such as 438,839 pounds of powdered coap, 11,0OO one-gal- lon cans of castor oil, 1,527 half gallon cans of ditto, 21 ,580 gravy boats, 23,281 cream wicthers, and 10000 surgical knives in assorted sizes.
 This looked like subject matter for an interesting dispatch and I was blowing happily through the surplus lists when I came upon the navy file, turned it open and stared, bug-eyed:
 Blue chambray shirts: cost 85 cents each: 6,926,9OS declared sur- plus; 5,560 sold to civilians: G. 921 ,343 still in federal warehouses. The navy went on to list more surplus shirts of cotton, 4,359. OPS more, to be exact. It mentioned 281 900 gray cotton hats, 313 gray cotton pants, 116y0OO cotton jumpers, 1894 ,212 pairs of work gloves, l. 352,000 twill jackets, 3,230,375 twill trousers and 1900 pairs of cotton socks.

 In the federal storeroomS, ac- cording to the navy's count, there was one batch of 4,520, TAO pairs of all sizes from 30 to 42. Another consignment of navy shorts in sizes unspecified totaled 1,175, ,387 pairs.
 I got in touch with Sen. Mead, who has been badgering the War Assets Corp, to sell couple of billion dollars worth of surplus ma terials to the people who need them. Sen. Head could use few shorts. himself.
 T am amazed" he said, ito find Il, 100000 shirts and $500 pairs Of shorts declared surplus by the navy and still in navy storage. It would seem to me that in view of the need of the men of this country that the Senate War InveStiga gating Committee had better take steps to see that the nations males get their shirts, shorts and other items o1 clothing still in storage"

and Virginia are not carrying too
much head of water. The low, clear
water, in conjunction with tremen-
dous angling pressure, has made the
trout quite wary. Now is the time
not only to lengthen your leaders,
but to reduce tippets to Ak or even
SIX and, in addition, cut your fly
patterns to the smaller sizes of hook.
We see many trout anglers splash
ing boldly up to the tail of pool
and fishing away induStrially for
long periods without success. This
system just won't work in low, clear
water and should not be practiced
at any time. Approach pools with
extreme caution, keeping your body
hidden as much as possible and
above all don't stumble over rocks
or splash around. Keep as far away
from the pool you intend fishing as
you can to reach it with your indi-
vidual casting ability. This goes for
either dry or wet flies.
