Grand Jury Reports
Lighting Systems OF

STEPS BE-
TAKEN TO RECTIFY
CONDITIONS; JURY
is RECESSED

with the exception of Harris
Elementary school the lighting
systems of several school build
ings are inadequate, the most
glaring example being that of
Division Street Elementary
School,"
This was the first sentence of
conclusions on public schools"
as contained today in a report by
the Monroe County Grand Jury
to Judge Aquilino Lopez, Jr.
The grand jury was recessed
Immediately by Judge Lopez,
subject to call for the remainder
of the November term of court.
"Rebardless of the blame for
this deplorable condition IRE
garding the lighting in the
schools), the Grand Jury rec
ommends that immediate steps
be taken to rectify the same,
continues the report.
IF funds are on hand for this
purpose and can be so utilized,
an adequate lighting system
should be installed in the Divi-
sion Street School Immediately.
If no funds are available, a loan
should be procured, if possible,
and system installed.
'The grand jury likewise rec
ommends that the lavatory facil-
tiles in Key West High School
be tied in with the municipal
sewage system.
I'm connection with the Poin-
ciana Elementary School, a road
way should be constructed to the
service entrance of the said
school and also to the front en-
trance SO that vehicles approach
ing the building will not jeopar-
die the safety of the children at
play on the playground.
ut is also recommended that
the Poineiana. Elementary school
be provided @With a light at its
front enfrance $50 that illumina-
ton caasbe provided wherever
school SOCIAL events are held at
night in this institution"
The Grand Jury also found
that Fire Station No. 3 "consti-
tutes a potential menace, not
only to the lives of the men sta
toned there but also to valuable
firefighting apparatus which it
contains"
Members of the Grand Jury,
who inspected Fire Station No.
/, noted numerous cracks, from
which it is led to believe that
the building is Structurally I'M
sound. It was also reported at
this station that considerable
difficulty is encountered in the
relay of calls through the CEN

The plan, according to these
reports, calls for creation of such
a ministry closely resembling that
recently put into effect in the
United States.
Army sources believe the
Generalissimo also would en-"
nance the position of Varela by
naming him a captain-general
of the kingdom. Since Franco
himself is now the only active
captain general of the realm.
this would. in effect. make
Varela the Caudillo's second
man" at least in the armed

Frances main pillar of support.
With this title. Varela auto
maficallY would become a
member of the Council of the
Kingdom and the Council of
Regency created by Frances
Law of Succession to name his
successor in the event of retire
ment or death.
Gen. Varela, now Sc. has a
brilliant combat record in the
Moroccan wars and the Spanish
civil war. He twice received the
Laureate Cross of San Fernando,
SPANS highest decoration for
bravery. He was Frances min
lister of war from 1899 to 1912.
While considered a monarchist,
he is loyal to the generaiissimo.
Lieut.. Gen. Jose Solchaga Zala,

is regarded as the most likely
candidate for minister or secre-
tary of war.
For minister or secretary of air

sion Gen. Jose Rodriguez de

Birthd oY Nine Years of a Good
4-POwer Administration in Germany Seen As Failure by AFL Observers

Berlin-The Four-POWer admin istration of Germany was described by William c. Doherty, vice pres ident of the American Federation of Labor and member of a three member AFL mission to this coun- try, as "a colossal failure'' after a survey of the situation in widely separated areas.
 Addressing press conference here following tour of the west ern occupation zones with his two colleagues, MT. Doherty said they had concluded:
 l. Some kind of central govern ment should be established at once to end the present economic chaos and the Allies should restrict themselves in economic matters primarily to supervisory functions designed to prevent rebuilding of ornaments.
 2. The United States should send at once food and other supplies to help out the German working pop ulation, particularly in the British occupied Ruhr coal mining area, where, according to MT. Doherty, "most of the workers suffer from malnutrition and large segment of the population is afflicted with hunger edema'' Ca condition marked by bloating of the limbs).
 3. The present restrictions on German industrial production must be sufficiently raised to permit standard of living conducive to a free and fourishing trade union movement and democracy.
 These conclusions will be among those contained in report to the AFL executive committee. If it accepts the report, the AFL will urge the American Government to act on it, MT. Doherty said.
 MT. Doherty, who is president of the National Association of Let ter Carriers, said the committees six-week tour of Germany con- vinced it that fear of reviving German war potential by allowing German industries to get back on their feet is 'the biggest bugabo ) of all time.'
 The said the phrase "war poten-
Eastern Connecticut news., 1947-01-11

tiaT' is misleading because the meaning depends on differing in- terpretations. Almost everything in modern society with it's total war can be war potential" from steel for garden rakes to babies. MT. Doherty gave the example of garden spades at an export ex- hibition at Munich which had been made out of shell castings. If Germans can produce garden spades out of shell castings, I sup pose they can go back to produc- ing the shell castings" he said.
 The only solution-since, after all, every Industrial plant could be considered by extremists as war poten+la1-is to allow the Ger man economy to go ahead and pro- duce the peacetime equipment for which it has raw material and skill but at the same time keep a con- stant check on the type of indus trial output, the trade union off cial asserted.
 MT. Doherty called the press con- ference to complain that his com n1ittee had not been permitted to enter the Russian zone in Decem- Der, as requested. When it was pointed out that the Russians had cancelled all tours into their zone, including quadripartite factory in- spection teams and press tours, be- cause of troop movements, MT. Doherty said: .
 Well, I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt"
 Accompanying MT. Doherty in his tour were Israel Feinberg, vice president of the International La dies Garment Workers Union, and Anton ~Jakobs, international rep resentative of the Butchers and Meat Cutters Union.
