 tured in this sector, strikes very close to home. His body was found, bound hand and foot, mutilated, and shot in the head. These are concrete facts. I know because I was slightly acquainted with the unfortunate chap. Our men here have resolved to take no prison CTS. I am with them all the way. Perhaps you do not realize the emotions that grip 8 man when these things strike home. As you know, I am not a killer by nature --l hate to see an animal or a bird hurt. But I have no compunctions as far as killing Nazis is concerned -the more the better.
 I am not writing in heat or in an emotional jag. I write because I think these things should be made known to the public-not to arouse mass hysteria, but to have you know the prevalent feelings here: that in the peace plans to come that the Nazis be treated as inhuman beings in whom the Hit Ter precepts have been so firmly instilled that they are completely insensible to the basic truths, and have no conception of the mean ings of common decency. and are oblivious to the obvious necessi- ties of the soul These people must be obliterated. They are a dan- ger to the entire world. And, fath- CT, I feel very deeply that strong voice Is needed to spur the pop ulace to some kind of action forc- ing those who administer the peace to be completely unfeeling when dealing with NaziS. And one can not tell where the Nazis stop and the German people" begin. To us they are one and inseparable. No doubt, there are good Germans just as there are mad dogs less dangerous than others. In my mind the good ones must suffer along with others, because we can- not take chances on letting the criminals escape to start their helIish schemes anew.
 No doubt you think me unduly vehement about all this. I am not.

 $1O.5O Pay Raise In Southern Area

Atlanta-Increased wages aver aging $10.50 @ week were won for some 10000 truck line workers in over-the-road agreements reached by southeast and southwestern freight operators and the South ern Conference of TeamSters (AFL).
 The newly signed pacts call for an hourly wage rate of $1.10, an increase ranging from 10 per cent to Is per cent. The mileage rate, the truck drivers major source of income, was increased half cent a mile, which is approximately $10.5O more weekly for the aver- age driver.
 The wide gap that has existed between the southeast and south west agreements is narrowed down in the agreement to one-tenth of a cent difference. The contracts, which are retroactive to Nov. 16, 1946, also provide a six-day paid vacation for an employee who has worked so per cent of the time of the first year and 12-day vacation for five years or more of service.
 Praising the agreements, Dexter l.. Lewis of the Southern Confer ence of Teamsters, pointed out that they had established a record in harmonious relations with the em- ployers. Not single hour had been lost because of strikes in the last five years. he said.

 Editor Eastern Conn. News: Dear Rowland:
 Bill and I are still doing quite nicely down here. We have juse purchased a plot opposite the North White Plains R. R. StatiOA and will start erecting our new shop in few weeks. As you know we did get that body agency and are now selling and mounting Day. brook Bodies and Hydraulic HoiStAs We tried to get the E. B. Co. 8 agency for their body, but guess they didn't think that we were good enough for them.
 It was good seeing you and your mother the other week. we fele sorry that time was so short and White Plains so far away.
 do enjoy reading the "Sub." now the E. c. News, and know just what it is taking you to keep it going. Give us a little more local news.
 We gave a figure on a job in New Haven and found out that we were bidding against Bob Chapple Gan E. B. Main Yard Welder Of way back. I never knew that he was out on his own now. l also understand that Chas. Brooks and Slim Atwood are going into buSis ness for themselves as welders.
 If you get to see the Rug Ped- dler or Chas. S., give them my re- gards. I see that Mrs. DembO and Chappie are still doing a good job for you. Give them my hello. too. Johnny is still wearing AFofL buttons only now he wears them to school. Helen is going to school too. She is taking advanced Eng fish and American History. I guess this Is going to make me the dope in the family.
 We'll, don't forget to stop over with us when next you visit New York, we will be glad to see you. And further more. brother.
 Faithfully yours under the Label Fraternally and etc,

am enraged at the atrocity com- mitted to 8 man know. It makes all the other things I've heard just so much more real. I tell it to you because you are 8 man of great wisdom and because you hold position where you will be heard. It is my feeling that these things must be made known and that they must be grooved into the con- Sciousness of those at home who would be chivalrouS and show charity to the ''poor underdog." Yours Is a strong voice. You wanted at one time to take your place beside me-so you have said many times. Yours is the more important job by far. In my very small way I can perhaps kill a few Nazis, more or less. Your voice can bring others to realize the necessity of treating Germany as a murderer and all Germans as criminals. This, to my mind, is the most important job of all; the task of making the American peo- pie realize the absolute necessity of erasing that element which be- lieve only in the might of the sword. We are fighting for peace, yes. But not for peace with the Dacoclean sword of treachery over our heads. That would be like an innocent girl walking down dark street with a rapist lurking in the underbruSh.
 The reason why I am writing so vehemently on this score is this: I do not intend to be taken priS- oner if there is any way I can possibly help it, short of suicide. I shall kill every Nazi soldier l can find, and I hope that the nome front" will see fit to take stern measures with the civilians. That sounds as if I were planning to win the war alone. Not at all. But I only pray that in the post war days the soldier will be con- suited and listened to-because he knows whereof he speaks. Sher- man was right, and his words pen citrate deeper than people think: "War is indeed he'll" It is mans hell on earth. Nothing can be worse for people in our way of life. Take over, Pop, please. I beg of you Don't let these sol- diers feel let down. Make the people understand. or am l all wrong and warped?
 My dearest love to you, my fath- CT, and I thank God for you. l am learning to pray.
 Your very loving son.
 SANDY"
 MT. Editor: I sent this letter to you. In obedience to the desire of my son that I should speak as loudly and as far as can the truth which our soldiers see. The words in his letter far exceed any pow CT of mine even to match either his words or his action unto death.
 ALEXANDER H. ABBOTT Norwich, February 26, 1945.
 Editors Note: The recent set- zure of the German Underground Chemical War Production outfit in Germany brings new significance to the above letter sent in to us a year ago by the Reverend Alex ander H. Abbott of Norwich, Conn. The Eastern Connecticut News

from the industrial and large city areas. These areas are the areas of progressive legislation. The leaders of the Connecticut Demo- cratic party are now righteously beeing against the proposed sales tax which the Repubs are indis- creetly promoting. But as long as the overwhelming majority of the people of Connecticut are denied proper representation in Hartford in state affairs, such vicious, soak the-poor taxes will be instigated by tory forces here in this state.
 The past three weeks I have been personally easing" the Con- necticut press seeking a job. I will give you my unvarnished and candid opinions of what I saw. I met few good friends for the working man in some very strange places, believe me. MT. Simmons, news editor of The Bristol Press, is a great friend of honest legis- lative reapportionment for Con- necticut, the one and only way labor and progressive American ism can ever get anywhere in cozy Connecticut. The other great friend of labor I met is Karl s. Nash, editor of. of all things, 8 small Connecticut weekly. The. Ridgefeld Press, in Fairfield County, who runs editorials on Reapportion- ment, something which it may seem on first analysis, is against the interests of the small towns in this state. Yes, Nash Is great hero of Connecticut Democracy. He has 1 that incomparable foresight to see greater and more awe-inspiring iS- sues at stake than merely the self ish hold of the Connecticut legis- lative status quo.
 Now some papers are good with out being out-and-out pals of pro-
 gressivism. I have been around enough in the writing game to know that it is a ''break" even to have your stuff published, especi- ally when it is of a proselyting nature. The following papers are OK without being sublime: Stam- ford Advocate, New Britain Her aid, Willimantic Daily Chronicle, Waterbury American, The AnsOnia Evening Sentinel.
 Oh yes, and l must not forget the incomparable EASTERN CON- NECTICUT NEWS, one of Amer icas foremost labor and progress sive publications by far. I feel 1t is destiny indeed which has led me to such a distinguished little paper!
 The papers do not herein men,
 ton are just so-so with more than
 a negative touch. Newspapering 1 in America must take on renewed vigor-or we all perish! l once did thorough piece of research
 on the press of America of a cen-
 tury ago. Newspapers have de- generated since then, sorry to say. Then editors were fighting and progressive. They pulled no punch es, minced no words. They under stood the bulwark of our liberties much better than do 1947 Ameri- can editors-the Constitution of the United States of America! They were not negatively cozy nor snob- bish. They were right out there, by and large, fighting for the peo- pie, you and me!
