A l l i e d Headquarters in Australia, Jan. 19.—(^)—Al­lied ground forces captured Sanananda point and Sanan­anda village yesterday, ac­cording to Associated Press reports from the advanced operational base in New Guinea. The Allied occupa­tion of the coastal end of the Japaneee-held Papuan corridor left the remnants of Lieut. Gen. Tomitaru H oli’a northeaatem New Guinea Army enveloped by Australian and American Infan trymen In three restricted pockets lying from a half to two miles In­land from the coast. All three are located along the main trail.

Result of Coordinated Attacks The Australian capture of San­

ananda point and the adjacent village at noon yesterday cli­maxed a serlM of coordinated at­tacking movements In which two American and three Australian Infantry units took part.

Later the fall of the two Japa­nese poaitioha was announced offi­cially a t a special press confer­ence called at headquarters.

"In a continuation i t the aggres­sive action which started Sunday, Jan. 17, Sanananda village and Sanananda point were captured yesterday, and our forward ele ments reached Glruwa," the an­nouncement said.

"On the coast the enemy Is re strlcted in a smaU pocket 500 yards northwest of the motor road terminal In the area between Glruwa and Tarakena. Inland, two enemy pocketa are under attack.''

Washington, Jan. 19—<iP)—Pres­ident Roosevelt, as commander-in- chief of the armed forces, today directed all striking anthracite coal miners to go back to work at once.

He aald that If they failed to comply with his directive In 48 hours, the government would take the necessary steps to protect the security of the nation against a strike which comes at a time of a shortage of fuel In war time.

(Some 5,000 striking miners re­turned to their Jobs in Pennsyl­vania's anthracite field today in the largest back-to-work move­ment since the wildcat walkout be­gan three weeks ago.

(However, about 12,350 Insur­gents still remained Idle.)

Order Issued In Telegrams The chief executive issued his

order in telegrams to officials of the United Mine Workers of Amer­ica, national and local.

The parent body has empha­sized the strike is unauthorized.

The telegram said:"On Friday. Jan. 15, 1943, the

National War Labor Board Issued a directive order calling upon all miners on strike in the anthracite coal field to return to work im­mediately. I have been informed that several thousand miners re­fused to obey the order of the War Labor Board and are still out on strike.

"In the Interest of the war ef­fort, all directive orders of the National War Labor Board must be complied with by all employers and all employes.

"Therefore, as commander-ln- chief of the armed forces. I direct all miners in the anthracite coal fields who are now out on strike to return at once to their Jobs ot producing vitally needed coal for their country. K, this order is not complied with In 48 Jhours, your government will take necessary steps to protect the security of the nation against a strike which Is doing serious Injury to the war effort.”

(In pre'vious disputes, involv­ing labor and management, the military has taken over and su­pervised continued production.)

Has Involved 25 Locals The 20-day-old strike in the

Pennsylvania hard coal fields has Involved members of some 25 lo­cal unions. They have been dC' manding a $2 a day wage increase and cancellation of a 50 cents a month Increase In union dues from 31.00.

Passage came after more than an hour of debate during which the Democratic minority sought unsuccessfully first, to shunt the measure to the Appro­priations committee and then to amend It so as to avoid an al­leged conflict between powers of the war council and the Stale Defense council.

Clarie offered in all three amend­ments to the measure, which was drawn to meet a request voiced by Governor Baldwin In his inaugu­ral address and all were defeated with the vote following partisan lines.

Besides the amendment specify­ing that nothing In the war coun­cil bill could in any way limit the powers or duties of the State De­fense council, Claire offered amendments providing that any assUtants hired by IJie war coun­cil should be employed under pro­visions 6f the merit system and that an expert on housing matters be included among the persona who. under terms of the measure, shall be appointed to the council.

The bill creates s council com­prising the six elected officers of the state government plus 10 to 14 citizens who shall study and ad­vice with the governor as to "the most effective methods of organiz­ing the war effort in Connecticut.”

drive across Libya today with an advance which car­ried one of two attacking col­umns to within 50 miles or less of Tripoli—closer than Marshal Rommel came to Alexandria last summer. With Gen. Sir Bernard U Montgomery pressing home the attack, the Axis had only a matter of hours in which to check the onslaught for an attempted stand, or to quit the city In a withdrawal to­ward the Tunisian border 100 miles to the west.

Most Advanced Column Inland Montgomery's most advanced

column was operating inland, and a communique said it had driven Axis forces from Beni Ulid and was in contact with the enemy to­ward Tarhuna, which is only 40 miles southeast of Tripoli. Tar­huna is some 60 miles beyond Beni Ulid where the Axis suffered heavily in a tank battle with the British.

The second British column sped along the coastal road, passing th>'t)ugh Misurata and Garibaldi and reaching the Zlllcn area 90 miles east of Tripoli, the last stronghold of Premier Mussolini’s one-time African empire.

Tripoli itself was under heavy alf attack.'

A communique aimouqced that B-24 liberators of the Ninth U. S. Army Air Force attacked the big port by daylight yesterday and said “hits by heavy caliber bombs were observed near the base of Karamanli mole and military tar­gets within the town.”

“A number of enemy flghters at- ' eked our formation but failed to press their attacks home,” the communique said.

Walker Lauds Social Gains

mSays Achievements Last 10 Years Not Matched in Like Era.

London, Jan. 19—OP) —Clement R. Attlee, deputy prime minister, told the opening session of Parlia­ment today that Great Britain could ’’look forward to 1943 with Justlflable confldence,” and that the successes scored by the Allied nations last year were to be view ed with "sober sattsiactlon.”

In a brief statement on the .var situation pending an anticipated complete review by Prime Minis­ter Churchill within the next few days. Attlee lauded the "wonder­ful achievements’* of the Russian Army and said “it looks as If none of the g^reat force (before Stalin­grad) will escape from the trap."

Total Destruction Objective Describing the Allied objective

in North Africa as total destruc tion of enemy forces, he told Com' mons that bad weather In Tunisia had restricted movement of motor­ized forces and had “seriously af fected the provision of airfields.

"We have every confidence in General Elsenhower and General Anderson and the men of ;the Allied forces,” he said.

Referring to reports of differ­ences between the British and Americans over the political line­up In North Africa, Attlee de­clared It was only natural that French affairs should not appear In the same light to the two Al­lied nations, but added that "such variations of outlook . . . ought not to be exaggerated.

Everyone Cooperating "Everyone there is cooperat­

ing.” he asserted. "French civil authorities are cooperating fully with the Allied forces. Just French troops are fighting along­side ours in Tunisia.”

No secondary or personal con­sideration should prevent a union of French factions, Attlee contin­ued. He ?aid he welcomed the ap­pointment of Gen. Henri Honore Giraud as Mlgh commissioner ut French North and West Africa, and at the same time he acknowl­edged a “great debt” to Gen. Charles DeGaulle. leader of the Fighting French.

'Turning to the war in the Southwest Pacific, the deputy leader said the government "is conscious there is an accumula tion of Japanese forces at Rabaul (on New Britain Island) and every step is being taken to deal with that menace.”

Despite very bad weather coU'

Walker, newly elected chairman of the Democratic National commlt- tee.

Walker, elected by the commit­tee yesterday to succeed Edward J. Flynn, who has been nominated as minister to Atistralia, in his speech of acceptance last night, lauded the social legislation sponsored by the president, and asserted;

“Now it Is our Job to see to It that there is no interruption, no stepping back from the progress we have furthered.”

The committee also pledged support to and praised the work of Mr. Roosevelt, and ex­pressed confldence In his ability "to bring our country and with It the rest of the democratic world through the stress of this war.”

Central Heating Plant A large section of Main street

from the Cheney block north to and including the Rubinow block, are heated by the Mutual Heating Corporation plant In rear of the J. W. Hale block. Several of the stores on Main street are large In area, and consume much heat. The largest stores heated by the Mutual system are the J. W. Hale company, C. 8. House and Son and Watkins Brothers and Marlow's. But above all of these stores there are professional offices, apart­ments and beauty parlors and to supply heat for all of these will re­quire a thorough planning if the anaergency is to last for two month t

that the conservation plan would be Just 'as effective if the stores were to be closed on Wednesday a? day, giving the stores an op­portunity to flu in with a business day on Monday, which some mer­chants say is a good business day.

grocers called "bureaucratic bun­gling” In food distribution.

' Must Increase MachineryIn line with the f<x>d question

was a statement by M. Clifford Townsend, focxl pixiduction admin­istrator, to the Senate Defense In­vestigating committee, that he feared there waa "no chance” of meeting 1943 prcxluction goals witho\it an increase in the War Production board's allotments for new fatm machinery.

The Navy contract discussion, before the House Rules committee, brought from James V. Forrestal. undersecretary of the Navy, the statement that "American busi­ness, by and large, does not want to be a proflteer in this war—quite the contrary.”

Emphasizing that speed was es­sential in letting contracts in f e early part of the Navy's vast ex­pansion, ForresUI said, "If we made honest mistakes in prices, then dollars can be recaptured, but time lost is gone forever.”

Renegutiating ContractsTo recapture those dollars, the

Navy baa a policy of renegotiating contracts found to contain exces­sive profits. House Military and Naval committeemen have report­ed their Investigations brought about savinga, through negotia­tions, o r more than $2,000,000,000.

The food distribution question —one of the country’s more trou­blesome items these days—was highlighted In testimony by Rose Marie Kiefer, secretary-manager of the Grocers’ Association, that “ hundreds o f communities . . . have already been for weeks without adequate supplies of meat and dairy products.”

She told the Senate Small Busi­ness committee these shortages were induced “ in part, at least, by bureaucratic bungling and a refusal on the part of the Office of Price Administration to accept as a working principle that nei­ther producers nor distributors can reaaonably be expected to continue to operate at a loss.”

Would Slow InductionaIn the Senate wing meanwhile

Chairman Thomaa (D.. Okla.), of an Appropriations subcommittee handling War department bills called for a slowing up of selec­tive service Inductions “ until we can take an accounting of the needs.” Asserting he bad beard reports o f plans to Increase the armed forces to a total of 12,000, 000 men, Thomas expressed doubt that number could be put In uni­form without causing a serloua dislocation In all phases o f war production. Including the growing of food.

On the labor front, both the Democratic and Republican lead­ers of the Senate indicated they would block immediate considera­tion of a 48 hour standard work week when Senator Reed (R-Kas), author of the proposal, attempts to call It up within the next two weeks. Democratic Leader Bark­ley of Kentucky and Republican Leader McNary of Oregon said the measure should be studied by a committee first, a move that Reed seeka to avoid

To Cooperate Saving Fuel

BusinessV Professional Leaders Give Promise To Baldwin Today.By The Associated Press

Connecticut business and pro­fessional leaders today promised Governor Baldwin their coopera­tion in his recommendation that certain public and private business establishments and agencies close at least two days each week until further notice in a statewide fuel conservation program.

Typical of tHe response was that of Joseph Suge n h e i m e r, chairman of the Executive com­mittee, Waterbury CSiambcr of Commerce, who said, "We will be glad to conform.”

Sugenhelmer slated: "We want to do anything possible to help save fuel.”

Some 600 retail outlets, 40 tav­erns and 60 package stores are ex­pected to be affected in the Wa­terbury area.

Oaa Stationa to Close A Lincoln German, president of

the Waterbury Gasoline Retailers’ association, said a majority of the city's gasoline station operators plan Monday closing adding, "There’s no gas to sell, anyway."

New Britain merchants will meet tomorrow to take action on the governor’s recommendations. Mayor Oeorge A. Quigley and Ber­nard G. Kranowitz, executive vice president of the Chamber of Com­merce, said they were not prepar­ed to make statements yet.

Then Soviet infantry which had stood in their trenches imp.atlent- ly awaiting the attack signal rush­ed across the frozen Neva toward the Germans, Pravda said.

Good organization and speed In the crossing operation kept losses "insignificant,” the dispatch said The enthusiasm of the Russian troops waa so great that many of the wounded insisted (m contlnu Ing in the battle.

In many places heavy Russian artillery waa pushed across the frozen river by hand and nudged up the high banks with the help of icy tow ropes.

These snow-covered slopes were heavily sown with land mines which sappers were forced to blow up because they were frozen too tight to remove.

Izve.stiB said the German Army had lost 250,000 men in the unsuc­cessful attempt to take Leningrad.

The people of Leningrad wept openly in th« thronged streets and kissed one another when the news that the blockade was broken came, said a dispatch from the front.

Capture Six Populated PlacesSouthwest of Velikie Luki, where

German resistance has been ex- ce.itionally strong, a Russian ad­vance captured six populated ,<iaces and added to the Rowing toll o f Axis prisoners.

The Army moving southwest from Voronezh in the sixth and newest of the Red 'offensives In t r south was reported within 108 miles of Kharkov after the capture of Afanaaievka, 20 miles north of th railway connecting Svoboda and Kupyansk.

As the line of advance waa straightened in this sector, Rus­sian forces were reported to be encountering "excessively stubborn resistance” from German and Hungarian troops in, some cases.

5Iore PrlBones TakenAa the aqueeze on the trapped

force of 50,000 Germans at Stalin­grad tightened an increasing num­ber of prisoners was taken, indi­cating the Nazis were taking heed of the Russian ultimatum to sur­render or die.

The plight of the Germans in this area was heightened by the crossing of the Manych river and canal, announced yesterday. This endangered the supply base and air, field at Salsk from which ma- te-lal has been flown in to the sur­rounded divisions: 'The Russians al­ready had reported the capture of the last usable landing field In the vicinity o f the trap.

The week-long smash that re­sulted in piercing the (3erman ring around Leningrad that had exist­ed since August, 1941, was the work of two Russian columns. One striking eastward from Leningrad was (Ximmanded by Ool. Gen. Leo­nid Govorov, and the other strik­ing westward from the Volkhov river was led by Gen. Kirkill A. Meretskov.

The two groups, supported by powerful forces o f artillery and tanks, caught the ancient Nazi- held fortress of Schluesselburg In a nutcracker and smashed it, kill­ing 13,000 Germans, routing four divisions, taking prisoner more than 1,260 and capturing huge quantities of armament, the Rus­sians announced.

(The mid-day communique aa recorded by the Soviet monitor In London from Mositow broadcasts gave no further details of the ac­tion around Leningrad, but said engagements were in progress south of Lake Ladoga and listed new successes In the fighting be­low Voronezh.

(A communlcatioos oanter and several departments of a German Army headquarters were reported captured south o f Voronezh along with a number h f communities.

In the fighting along the northern Donets, the communique said that several more villages had been captured after Russian troops crossed the river in the Kamensk region. In one sector of this battle front, 400 Germans were killed.

(Advances also were reported from the northern Oucaaus and southwest of Velikie Luki on the central front, northwest of Mos­cow. where six populated places were said to have been occupied. Three hundred Germans were re­ported killed at one of these pistes.

Caurus On War CouncilThe governor conferred with

newsmen while House Republicans and Democrats were caucusing on the important war council bill which sets up an advisory group to study war problems with the governor.

These meetings, plus travel dif­ficulties imposed by the ice-storm, delayed the opening of the House .sc.ssion far behind its scheduled hour of 11:15 a. m.

With only three more days left In which to introduce new busi­ness, , bills coming to the clerks’ desk were somewhat less in vol­ume thsin had been exacted.

Among the measures introduced were some administration meas­ures Including those calling for the naming of commissions to investi­gate the need for a state infirm­ary "for the care and treatment of aged, Infirm and chronically 111 persons,” and for a study o f' the Connecticut court system.Wonid Impose “ Emergency” Tax

Marsh Sees No ConflictRep. E. Lea Marsh. Jr., of Old

Lyme, the Republican leader who steered the mea.sure through the House and who asked for Its pas­sage as a means of giving the gov­ernor all possible aid in dealing with war problems, declared:

"There is nothing in the powers given in this bill which conflicts in any way with the powers of the Defense (Xiuncil.

"The war council advises the governor—the defense council de­fends the state.

"If those two conflict, the gen­tleman from Klllingly (a a ric) will have to explain it better to me.”

0\’er-Ruled by SpeakerCTarie tried, at the outset of the

debate, to luve the measure re­ferred to the Appropriations com­mittee, but was over-ruled by" Speaker Harold E. Mitchell who said the bill did not require an ap­propriation.

Clarie t(X)k an oppoaite view be­cause the bill provided that the council’s expenses "after approval by the governor, shall be paid by the treasurer upon order of the comptroller.”

The minority leader insisted that the law demanded that any bill carrying or requiring an appropri­ation be referred to the Appropri­ations committee unless a tw o thirds vote of both Houses waived thl.s requirement.

Marsh replied that the bill re­quired no appropriation and any expenses'could be paid out of the goverqpr’s contingent fund.

In regard to the appropriation and on his three amendments, Clarie was chided by Marsh for not having brought the matters up at the executive session of the Ju­diciary committee ot which both are members. y

"It will' slow down the sess ion considerably if this is any sample of the procedure to come,” Marsh oald.

Only two others besides Marsh and Clarie took part in the debate.

Rep. Philip E .Curtiaa (R ) of Norfolk voiced the opinion that "larie. In taking the stand he did, was not "as concerned about the da.igers of the bill as he is about proving himself a worthy leader of the loyal opposition.”

Women’s Part In World Told

Speaker Tells Mothers* Club They Will Sal­vage Civilization.Addressing the Manchester

Mothers club at its January meet­ing last night at the South Metho­dist church, on the subject of "Women in a World at War,” Miss Mary A. Dingman, eminent lec­turer and traveler, said “The bru­tality of war is so terrible that the natural instinct of women is to try to salvage out of the hor­rors of war the values that make civilization worth., while.”

Presented to the club members by the program committee chair­man, Mrs. Robert Leslie Cooper, Miss Dingman, proved to be one of the most forceful and scholarly speakers that has ever appeared before the club. After a first-hand experience with women in 46 coun­tries of the European and Asiatic continenta over a period of twen­ty-two years, she was able to give many instances of how World War 1 affected the women and child­ren of those nations, and their ef­forts to assist one another in any way in their power.

Abolition of Sla\'ery At the outset of her talk she

referred to the celebration in New York in 1940 of the Centennial Congress of Women’s clubs, and told In an Interesting manner the story of six or eight American Women sent as delegates to the conference in England, on the question of the abolition of slav­ery. This was in the days before steamships. She pictured the con­sternation of the "bigwigs” there that women should be^sent as dele­gates. They immediately decreed' that if the women attended they should sit behind curtains and take no part in the proceedings. William Lloyd Garrison who was an Important figure in the delega­tion from this side, said if that was the case he would sit with the women. The episode started the movement for suffrage for wom­en and the discriminations against them, for Lucretia Mott and Eliza­beth Cady Stanton were among that little group.

Equal Rights Secured Miss Dingman briefly reviewed

the progress women made there­after In securing equal rights with men, on to World War 1, when many of them took the places of men who had gone to the front, doing all sorts of Jobs. And In the present war she paid tribute to the women who have gone as nurses, to others who have given up positions in com­mercial life to enter the service, In the WAACs, the “Waves” and the other branches, and countless other women who . are working ip defense industries to replace men in the theater o f war.

Women, Children Killed Speaking of England where she

was during the blitz. Miss Ding­man declared more women and children were killed on the island of Great Britain than men in the

Two out of every three women In Britain today are play­ing a direct part In the struggle, and they range between 14 and 65. We have not reached that point in the U. S. yet.

An English friend of hers said to her referring to that blitz, "When for 90 days and 90 nights you face the hourly possibility of death, some great change takes place In you. You realize that life Is grim, that this war ts no respecter of persons and that women are in It flfty-flfty.”

No Need of Hate The speaker said she did not

agree with people who say we cannot this war unless men’s hearts are filled with hate. She believed it possible for men to hate the Germans’ stand and yet not hate the individual German, and she gave a number of In­stances to illustrate this point. War bring.s out the best and the worst that la In men. but men of the stories of valor and self-sac- riflee Indicate that hate Isn't al­ways uppermost. The speaker believed that there would be no lasting peace until the spirit 'o f Christianity permeates the people of the world which has now come to be a “ nelghborhexid or a com­munity.”

In explanation o f her last re­mark Miss Dingman referred to the speed with which people can now encircle the globe by plane; the progress that has been made not only In navigation o f the air and sea, but the land, as compared with the slow, ' horse-driven ve­hicles ot colonial times.

At the clooe of her talk she was given a rising vote o f thanks, call­ed for by the president, Mrs. Kritz- macher. ^ t a brief business meet­ing the members voted to omit both the 'February and March meetings, and the serving of re­freshments at meetings for the balance o f the season. These were recommendations o f the executive hoard.

Several motion songs and rounds were sung under the direction of Mrs. David Bennett.

The Hebron Congregational ci urch has very kindly offered the use o f their church to the people of St. Peter's Episcopal church for the Sunday services. S t Peter's is dependent on oil for fuel and has had to close the church for serv­ices except once a month, to con­serve oil. the services being held at the Rectorj- Hall instead. Since th services for St. Peter’s would i. ve to be held In the Congrega­tional church at 12 o’clock or some ume In the afternoon, it la feared thi-t the people could hardly ad- Ji. ‘ themselves to the change in time. Otherwise the generous offer ’ ould probably be accepted. The Congregational service is at IQ a. m:, with Sunday school following at 11:15, and lasting up to noon.

: offer is being considered, how­ever.

Mrs. Stanton Harris of Amston has been appointed daytime chair­man of surgical dressings at the Hebron Red Cross Branch. Mrs. Carrie I.

in North Africa, Jan. 14— (De layed) — —A French anti-air craft emplacement from which th guns often bark at raiding Axli warplanes was con.structcd simpl; of old Roman building stones '■jeh ly inscribed with Latin phrases o bearing the face of a Roman got or emperor.

Some P-38 fighter pilots wh( make swift flights Into Axis-hek

-parts of Tunisia bathed yesterday In what they called "the wallows' but what In reality are ancient Ro­man baths.

Run .Across RelicaThe Battle for Tunisia Is mak

Ing thousands of American sol diers wish they had dug harflei Into Latin and ancient history, for it is difficult to get anywhere near the front lines without running across relics of the gjeat empire which spread over this portion of North Africa centuries upon cent­uries ago. Only a few of the more erudite knew before this campaign' that ancient C’arthage lay In Tu­nisia.

Troops visiting the little French and Arab town of Tebessa, neat the Tunisian frontier, learn with astonishment that it was the alte of the Important Roman city ol Theveste which flourished from 60 B. C. to 1200 A. D.

Happiest About RuinsThe man happiest about all this

super-abundance of old ruins of temples, walls Hid towns Is Capt, Hallam Movius of Sudbury, Mass., a member of the 12th Air Force. He waa assistant curator o f arch­aeology at Harvard's Peabody mu­seum before joining the service.

"As soon as this war Is over 1 am coming back here with a pick and shovel and a bunch of strong- backed young men.” he said. “ You can’t dig even a silt trench around here without uncowrlng some kind of relic.”

Troops gazing over the barren open spaces of this semi-desert find It hard to believe when Movlua tells them that the Romans once used elephants with tremendous hay- bumlng capacity as beasts of bur­den here.

Souvenirs Big BurdenIn the beginning soldiers eagerly

preserved as souvenirs old French sous and bric-a-brac they found while digging foxholes, trenches and dugouts, but moat soon were confronted with burdens impossi­ble to heft in packs or bedrolls.

Among his fellow pilots Lieut. John Bent of Bloomsburg, Pa., en­joys the distinction of being ths first American to have an ancient Tunisian city named for him.

Bent repeatedly reported seeing the outlines of streets find building sites of an extensive town while he was on patrols in his P-40 fight­er. Other pilots started to guy him about "Bent City.” hut soon they and others likewise noticed traces visible from the air when the sun was at certain pointa in tha sky, yet Invisible to anyone walk­ing over the same area.

The wood-carving of the Renais­sance waa chiefly in .walnut.

B> James Marlow and tieorge Ztclkp

Washington, Jan. 19 iT' In all the talk about pa.y'-as-you-go In­come taxe.i. don't overlook a couple of vital facts:

1 . You'll have to file a return on vour 1942 Ihcome on or before March 15, a-s scheduled, and make at least a 25 per cent payment on the tax then.

2. I f pay-as-you-go is enacted, it won’t reduce the amount of tax you’ll have to pay in 1943; on the contrary, chances arc you’d paY more.Some time this year, if congress­men can get together on some kind of compromise, you may ftnd tnai the victory tax deduction from your pay (5 per cent of everything over $12 a week) haa been boosted —perhaps to as high as 15 or 20 per cent— -to provide the pay-as- you-earn system for your regular income tax.

First Congressional GoalThat'.s the first congressional

goal in tax matters — get the money before it's spent, so you U at least get your taxes paid.

If some such plan is adopted, the deductions this year wwdd apply on th'e taxes on your 1943 income; some or all of the tax installment due March 15 also might be so ap­plied Then at the end of the year vou‘d figure out what you really ‘owed (in the meantime Congress will have settled on new tax rates) —and you'd pay any balance due, or get a rebate If the payments vou'd already made proved great- ‘er than the amount you owed.

Catch In Whole Debate The catch in the whole debate

over pay-asryou-go is the que.stlon of what’s to be done about 194’2 in-

pose any increase at this time In the social security deduction. So it probably will remain at one per cent, with a maximum of $30 a year.

But how i» Congress going to get the additional $16,000,000,000. a year which President Roosevelt says should be brought into the Trca.sury through taxes and com- pul-»ory savings.

Three meUioils seem indicated:1. A tougher Income tax. The

individual rates may be upped again —normal and surtax rates might start at a combined total of 25 per cent or thereabouts In­stead of the present 19 per cent. Married persons’ exemptions and ci’edlt for dependents might be shaved again—to, say, $1,000 and $300 respectively, 'the earned in­come credit probably would be eliminated.

Corporation taxe* undoubtedly w il be revised—combined normal an' surtax rates for corporations earning more than $25,000 might be raised to 55 per cent.

May Be Required To Save2. Compulsory savings. You may

required to save, say 10 percent of your income—through a deduction from your paycheck, to b- taken in the form of govern­ment bonds,

3. Some form of sales tax on spendings tax. The Treasury ob- 1 to a straight sales tax as un­fair to persons with sm all income. It favors a gp-aduated * spendlngJ lax—under which you'd figure out how much you .spent, aside from such things as Insurance or pay­ments on debts, and be taxed oc- co dingly. The Treasury’s original i< pa waa a flat 10 per cent tax. all ' which would be returned after toe war. plus a surtax on higher bracket spending which wouldn’t t returned.

It’ll all add up to leaa money your pocket.

Reilly, in announcing resumption of the inquest, conducted independ­ently of a state Investigation that led to the indictment of 11 men, told reporters last night he was "not yet .satisfied" as to started the fire.

coue.One idea with strong .backing is

to “ forgive " the normal tax (6 per cent) and the first bracket sur­tax 113 per cent) on 1942 income.

For anyone whose return show­ed more than $2,000 of surtax net income for 1942, this plan would mean he'd still have to pay the upper-bracket surtaxes. These pay’ments might be spread several years, possibly with a 2 per cent interest assessment.

As for the so-called RumI plan, which would "forgive” the entire tax on 1942 Income to get pay-as- you go started, there's strong op­position in high places, on the ground that this plan would pro­vide a "windfair for a person who had big income in 1942 and a lot smaller income in this year of .•Hilary control.

LeningradIf we are any long distance

Judges of psychology, the whole long, heroic Russian front is aflame today—aflame with the knowledge that now anything can be accomplished.

No other development in the Russian campaign, save the re-

. tantion o f Moscow Itself, has been such a precious Russian victory as the n lie f at Leningrad, a city under tight Nasi aisge since AUg. 21, 1941, a city of 3,000,000 people BOW reduced, by famine, bomb and shell to a reported 1,000,000,

' a city which has taken it as neither London nor Moscow nor any other great .city has been re­quired to take it In this war.

The relief o f Leningrad was ac- eompllsbed by the capture o f the flortress o f Schluesselburg, anoth­er o f the hedge-hog points of de­fense the Nasis held so success­fully last winter, only to lose them to a stronger Russian at­tack this year.

By this one development alone the Ruaaiana have already accom- pUahed more, by January, than they did all last winter. But add­ed to thla development there is a strong and continuing story of Russian gains elsewhere. They have not yet been stopped; no Oennaa strong point is safe; and BOW, to what previous seal and persistence the Russian armies have shown, there must be added tbs eonfldent knowledge of great and substantial victories already gained.

Russian armies hearing the great news from the north are certainly not going to lack the spirit for future effort

For the outside world, these Russian victories are becoming the most dramatic development of the entire war. There isn't the Slightest doubt that they, move the day for final victory in the Xuropean war a great deal closer. And aa these successes are an in- ^liratiqn for the Russian armies themselves, so they should be an InspiraUon to all the United Na­tions. Now, indeed, i j the time for every one to strike harder.

It will be good news if the in­dividual members of the Senate develop a better Individual con­science than they have shown m the past. Let each state look to its members. By their votes on questions like this it can know pretty well what kind of men they are.

Isolationist ManeuverIsolationism may be dead,

its adherents don't think so.We’re reminded of this, once

again, by the story of why the Republicans in the Senate got an increase of only one member on the Important Foreign Relations Committee. They got it, accord­ing to the story, because isolation­ist Republicans wanted only one new member. Instead of the two new members they might have had in accordance with the party’s increased membership in the Senate Itaelf.

And why did important Repuo- licana want only one new mem­bership when they might have had two? Because, If there was only one new member. It would mutomaUcally be Senator James J. Davis of Pennsylvania, who is classed as an isolationist, while, if there were to be two new mem­bers, the second would be Senator Warren Austin of Vermont, who believes. Uke most Republicans who believe In the positive future of their own party, that isolation­ism ought to be dead, even if It isn't.

As the committee stands, all the Republican members on it are in the isolationist category. And the isolationists within the party want to keep tbinga that way. They don’t want any one with the viewpoint of a Willkie or a Bald­win or a Stassen or a Bridges or an Austin in a position to help formulate our policy on foreign relations In the crucial era lying ahead. And they hope that, if they can keep control of Republi­can policy on the Foreign Rela­tions Committee, they can cancel out all the non-iaolatloniat resolu­tions adopted by .the Republican National Committee 4nd make the RepubUcan party a die-hard iso­lationist force, no matter what its members may want it to be.

Men like WlUkie and Hoover and Stassen can discuss the next peace, aa much as they please, and their discussion shows the Re­pubUcan party In an enUghtened, constructive role. But.whUe they diacuss, the isolatlonisU at Wash­ington are maneuvering toward a destructive atrangle-hold on that agme peace. So long aa they con­trol the committees, they don’t care too much what the platform oratora may aay.

It ia 19 ta RapubUeana tbaoi- aelvea to rsalixs the danger such tactica mean to the future of their own party. R would bo a

Contrary to the explosive opin­ion of Senator RIsCassi, the real question arising from perusal of the Baldwin inaugural is not one of what autocratic or dictatorial programs the Governor may bo planning, which all who know him will Judge to be none at all. The real question is whether be is ac­tually planning anything beyond a few essentials Uke getting the head of the Public Works Com­missioner.

This is not to aay that the in­augural auffered from any lack of programs. To the contrary, it was, loaded with programs. But whether they are the kind of pro­grams which will lead to positive accomplishment, or merely the kind of programs which gain credit for recognizing a problem but merely pass its solution on to another generation, is perhaps de­batable. And the answer can't come from perusal of the message itaelf, but must await perform­ance.

The program on which such questioning may be sharpest con­cerns the Governor's recommenda­tion for the appointment of a pommlssion to study the state's judicial system in its entirety "to the end that a comprehensive Judicature act may be proposed, considered and adopted."

The question on this recommen­dation can become as sharp is this: “ Does the Governor intend to produce true and sweeping re­form of the state's Judicial sys­tem, or does he merely intend to blanket that problem and take the strength out of the state's re­formists for at least another two years by the trusted and tried commission method?"

The true answer to such ques­tions, of course, cannot come from present analyala, guess work, or Intuition. What does actually happen will be the only true an­swer.

Meanwhile, however, if those who really believe in court reform wish to stir themselves up to any kind of effort to see that the Baldwin program doesn’t wind up being Just another evasion, there are one or two things they might remember:

1. Every other General As­sembly confronted with the question of court reform has de­rided that the question should be postponed for two more years, until there could be more “ study” of the problem.

t. Strangely enough, each new General Assembly has had Its crops of lawyers who would find any immediate action en court reform personally embar­rassing and who, therefore, have enthusiastically agreed that it should be left to the next session.

S. Even when a commission does arrive at a solution, there are such things as half-hearted and deliberately Ineffectual presentation and support of that solution. At the beginning of this era of strain toward court reform. It was the Jndl- elal Council which bad the rec­ommending and supporting role. Most years It made It clear that It was merely making a pleas­ant gesture, which the Cieneral Assembly should not take too "seriously.

4. Thank to such policies in the past, the question of court reform is the oldest unsolved problem on the General Assem­bly list. It Is as ready for ac­tion today as the lawyers of the Judiciary Committee ever will be.

Such tendencies on the part of the General Aasembly are more powerful than the instinct «ind in­tent of the Governor, no matter how sincere he may be. It is in the General Assembly Itself that the fight must be won. The Gov­ernor’s program does not change that fact. It may postpone it.

If you put off until next week what you ought to do simply be- cau.se you cannot afford It, you’ll find yourself In need of a set of really chi-chi treatments to whip you. into shape for an unexpected furlough. Bc.slde.s, you may be able to afford it even less next week than now, at the rate things are going.

You grow lovelier with his loncline.ss. more dear to his memory as the Inevitable tri­als and frustrations of his regi­mented life besiege him. Every soldier clatn« that the girl he left behind is beautiful. What a glam­orous creature you would be If you only looked half as pretty as the man at the front remembers you.

Then when he .sees you again It is as If for the first time. Your eyes, your skin, your figure — he looks at these as If he had Just been introduced to you.

You must do very well indeed if you want to pass muster.

Setting your own hair is com­pletely per.sonal to your own type and temperament. I f you have a soul for detail and a patient heart you probably can put In the mil­lions of little wind-around curls the expert twists into your locks. You'll find though that you really don't need so many curls to give you the effect you want. Also, in­stead of using tiny hairpins; as the operators do, why don't you try holding the curls with bobby pins ? It's much more effective for non-professional fingers.

Also your husband is going to look younger, slimmer. more dashing than he has in y'eara. What is it about a uniform that seems to roll age off a man like a telescoping calendar in a movie montage? Some woman once said It was because it made all the men look like big Eagle Scouts. You may be no believer in military life as a health cure for husbands, but during the months of training, be­fore they go off Into hard, danger­ous, active combat, most men look better and healthier for their camp life than they ever did be­fore.

You can’t scramble to a beauty parlor each time you hear a leave Is pending. You can’t expect an hour or two In professional hands to correct two months of doldrums.

What you want is a grain of humor, two grains of salt, and a barrel of routine.

The humor will stand you in good stead for all this boom-de-ay about how "beauty Is a woman’s duty in wartime.” This is an ami­able little fiction Inspired, no doubt, by lipstick manufacturers. (But why? When most women wouldn’t be caught dead without a lipstick anyway, war or no war, and don’t think it is any mark of courage to use it now.)

But you can learn to do many things at home, all of them, if ab- •solutely necessary. At least you can do enough of them so that, supplemented with occasional trips to the beauty parlor, you can es­tablish a routine with little cost and consistent results.

Your Federal Income Tax

Information of vital Inter­est to those who must file a tax return not later than March 15,1948, fur­nished by the Bureau of Internal Revenue.

No. 14NormU Tax and Surtax

The Federal income tax payable on the taxable income is divided into two parts, known as normal tax and surtax. 'The sum of these two taxes, in all ordinary cases, represents the total tax due. The exceptions arise In cases. where there have been specified capital gains or losses, in which case an alternative computation is permitted, provided there are net long - term capital gains in excess of net short • term capital losses; or in cases where the taxpayer hrida bonds with a tax-free covenant (bonds in which the Issuing corporation pays part of the income tax on the inter­est), in which case a deduction of the amount paid by the corpora­tion is allowable against the tax computed on tha return.

The surtax is computed at vari­able rates, depending upon tbe amount of the surtax net income. The surtax net Income is the amount o f the net Income o f the taxpayer (gross incons less deduc- t io u ) toss tha parsonal axsnptton and tha cradit for dapendimta. This is the amount shown on line 23 of the Income tax return. Form 1040.

There is your hslr. for instance probably your single greatest

beauty-parlor expense. You can make a simple, excellent liquid shampoo at home which, unlike the stuff they use in so many sa­lons, leaves no sticky surface on the hair or scalp. Just take some pure powdered soap and mix it with boiling water. Add a little tar if you like it. Castile soap Is the best for this, but you may find some difficulty in getting it now. Castile soap is made out of olive oil, and although they’re experi­menting constantly with the grow­ing of olives in California, they

income, the surtax is 13 per cent of the surtax net income. On sur­tax net income over S2.000 and not over 14,(XK). the surtax is $2fi0 plus 16 per cent of the surtax net income above $2,000. On surtax net income over $4,000 and not over $6,000, the surtax Is $580 plus 20 per cent of the amount of surtax net income above $4,000. The rate increases as the amount o f surtax net Income increases. The computation of the tax for each income block is given in a table accompanying tihe return form.

The normal tax is calculated on the "balance subject to normal tax," which is shown on line 26 of the income tax return. Form 1040. The balance subject to normal tax la the surtax net income less the eaiTied income credit, less Interest received on certain types of Uni­ted States Government bonds and bonds o f Federal instrumentali­ties. flhd less dividends on share accounU In Federal savings and loan associations issued prior to March 28. 1942. TTie computation of the earned income credit Is set forth In Schedule E of the return Form 1040. and in Instruction 28 accompanying the return form.The normal tax is 6 per cent of

the "balance subject to normal tax." whatever the amount.

For persona filing a Simplified Return, tbe normal tax and sur- tax, as well as the earned Income credit, have been consolidated into one oompuUtloii. which to set forth in a table on the back o f the return for each size class o f in­come. so that It is necessary only to refer to this Uble to determine the correct amount at tax due.

If you don’t have naturally curly hair don’t let your perma­nent grow out too far. There’s nothing more "set” looking than a fresh permanent and nothing a man dislikes more. Avoid letting your hair go until the last minute so you find yourself with no other alternative the day before a holi­day.

A permanent is strictly a pro­fessional job—and it takes a good professiqnal at that Here is no place for false economy. Better to wash and set. your hair at home always, if you must, and save the money for a periodic good perma­nent, when you really need It than to risk dry. strlngy-looking hair.

You can learn to manicure your own nails at home too. For one thing, long red claws aren’t In good taste any more. They look useless: they make your hands look uselesa—and did men ever like them?

It’s much prettier and more sensible, too. to have your nails cut way ddwn and shaped into a becoming oval. You can do It yourself with.a good file and an emery board. A professional man­icure once a month will keep the basic lines of the nails In good shape, and you can tend to repairs from week to week yourself.

Home facials are easy to give. You cannot copy what the top- notch professional facial masseuse can do for droopy chins and bad lines, but you can certainly give yourself a better facial than the ordinary cream-and-mask affair for which some salons charge handsome fees.

Just get a little fuller’s earth yourself, mix it with a dash of alcohol and witch hazel, and you have the mask that made Cleo­patra famous.

Better still, why not take a yeast cake, add witch hazel to soften It, and you have the n^sk that made a famous beauty salon famous?

Or add lemon Juice to oatmeal. Or stir the white of an egg with the Juice of one-quarter of a lem­on. Both these are "recipes a cer­tain "enfant terrible” of skin ex­perts, dOvised to set the cosmetic people on their ears—charging her own clients a husky fee thereby.

The masks cannot do you any harm. They bring up circulation' and that in Itaelf is good. Of course you can do the same thing with a little consistent elbow grease — and probably get better long-run results. Soap, water, and rough wash-cloth, with plenty of action In your ann — and you have the best circulation-stimulant in the world.

There are. Incidentally, a num­ber of preparations you will want to concoct at home yourself, not only because they are cheaper, but because you may not be able to obtain them at all In these days of priorities.

To Be Continued

Any individual whose total income for the year is not in excess of $3,000 and was wholly from salary, wages, or other compensation for personal service, dividends, inter­est. or annuities, jnay use a Sim­plified Return (Form 1040A).

Sweden Warned Of War Danger

Stockholm, Jan. 19—(Jb—Prime Minister Per Albin Hansson’s warning of a possible attack on Sweden and his demand for the "utriiost defense" in such an even­tuality was made against a "back­ground moat serious," the influen- Ual newspaper Dagens Nyheter said today.

The prime minister warned the Swedish Parliament yesterday of the possibility of an attack and said ’’beyond any doubt we will defend ourselves." He cautioned against the possibility of false or­ders being issued, as bappened m Norway, and said that if an at­tack came everyone would have to Join in defending tbe country, the only remaining neutral nation In northern Europe.

Dogs Will Get Enough Meat

Appeal Made to Owners To Loan Canines for Shore Patrol Duty.New Haven, Jan. 19.—(J»)—

There’s no shortage of meat for dogs in the . Coast Guard service. Fire Department Lieut. William Gcldbecker said today, appealing to Connecticut dog owners to loan th 'Ir canine.o for shore patrol duty

Lieutenant Goldbecker, a vet en.n dog trainer and breeder, Is "dog recruiting agent" for the C.iast Guard and his territory in­cludes all of Connecticut except a part of Fairfield county,

"Six thousand Germah shepherd dogs, cdmmonly known as police dogs, are urgently needed for serv ice with the Coast Guard," he said. Coast Guard dogs must be one to foi.i years of age, although In some cases dogs five and six years old, in sound mind and body have been accepted.

Pedigree Not Necesaary Pedigree Is nbt necessary, and

maler or females are eligible. Own- ei whose dogs are In the service will be permitted to display a serv- i' star in the windows of their homes.

The fact that a dog is vicious does not necessaiHy eliminate him. Lieutenant Goldbecker stated, suggesting that owners contact hir at New Haven’s Number Three engine house to arrange for inspection of their volunteer ani­mals, to determine physical con dition ahd temperament. Dogs chosen for Coast Guard service are trained at Elkins Park Philadelphia, before being assign­ed to two Coast Guardsmen for s* ore patrol. For the purposes of l^.ntification and return to own­ers after the war. the dogs are photographed. Ugged, and their footprints taken.

Nazis’ New Code Nears CompletionStockholm, Jan. 19—(/P)—A new

Nazi national law code, intended to apply only to Germans within the Reich and not to citizens of foreign blood, is nearing comple tlon, the Berlin correspondent of the Svenska Dagsbiadet tele­graphed today.

Two of the precepts of the code declare that parents must educate their children In accordance with the Nazi spirit so they can serve the itation and that Judges are not to be subjected to guidance but will make decisions "according to their free convictions In agree­ment with the National Socialist Weltanschauung (world outlook)."

Citizens of non-German blood must submit to "international law recognized by Germany” when the new code is applied, the corres­pondent said.

Prom Plea8.mtvUle, N. J., Guadalcanal and China tbe bo} and gals are writing to Clai{ Boothe Luce, blond author of "Th Women” and other works, wl came down to Congress from fourth district in Connecticut.

They’re friendly letters, for thi most part, and serious. Many wr.tl ers arc full of ideas about whal Congress needs. I

With the mail averaging 150 letl ters a day or more, Mrs. Luce’f staff has been told it is settinL some kind of record for a congresl .slonal freshman.

Girts of All Sorts SentThe letters aren’t all of It

though. She gets gifts of all sort by mail—which she returns—ant a stream of telegrams arrived dally.

Requests o f business firms . endorse a galaxy of products, fror scarfs (she wears them all the. time over her head, since hats are banned In the House) to facial creams, likewise are declined.

Invitations to speak come fron, all over the country and she thinks it’s significant that so many come (Voin the Democratic south. She’s a Republican. She courteuosl) turns down all of these, about IS to date—except the requests fod short wave broadcasts m the boys overseas. She has made three such, broadcasts since she was elcctedl Autograph Seekers Everywhere Aa might be expected, autograph

seekers are everywhere, and th^r queries reach her by mall, too.l along with pleas for signed photo­graphs. (Sorry fellas, the supply, of pictures ran out last week). Alll of her mail Is answered, ' though! she has adopted a form reply tol some types.

Absolute priority in her mail I goes to boys in the service, and I next after that she answers malll from her constituents, most of I which relate to the usual topical addressed to a congressman on I Jobs, commissiqu, appointments to West Point, pnollne rationing, etc.

She’s proud of her mall from the { Marines on Guadalcanal and flyers { in China and elsewhere around the globe. She corresponds regularly with the China-Burma-India news­paper “ Roundup," edited by Capt. Fred EUdredge.

Thanked Warmly by Marlae One letter received from a Ma­

rine On Guadalcanal, written Christmas Eve, thanked her warm­ly for her last reply, which the writer said was “so friendly and SO damned nice."

The Marine wanted the con­gresswoman to know "how strong- ly we feel this show" and axpress- ed the opinion that “more like you have got to go down there ((Jon. greaa).”

Has Developed ConaUtent Fan*She devotes so much time to an­

swering her mall, she says, that she has developed consistent fans —repeat correspondent*—to the dismay of her staff and sometimes herself.

There’s the Pleasantvllle, N J., man, for example, who garnlahea hia red, white and blue letters with pictures of the American flag. He’s been coming back for more each time she answers.

One 89-yesr old women sent her s wash cloth she crocheted, but Mrs. Luce flrmly returned It with sppreclstion.

poor Out Domestic ProblemsWonaen pour out their domestic

problems to her, and her aid is sought by all sorts of women s groups and movements. She ad­vises the organisations that she’s devoting her time to toarnlng to be a good congresswoman and begs off, but she do«|i tty to help with advice to mothers of sons of draft or near-draft age.

Her favorite post card is this one from a man;

"I ’m for you becauoa you’re against Mr. Roosevelt and I ’m against Mr. Roosevelt because he’s for Mr. WlUkle." .

One of her latest litUe memos from a constituent came from a writer In Bridgeport, who sent her a pamphlet UUed “ Love. SmUe and Work."

On the first page It asserts: "Bridgeport, 'Connecticut, the

first place on earth where a wom­an killed a lion with only a pitch- fork and no one to help her.”

This refers to a chapter in cir- cua history which occurred in the Connecticut city. A pet lion escap­ed during a circus fire, and made his way to a bam. There he de­voured a calf, then laid down be­side a cow and went to aleep. The farmer’s wife next morning came upon I«o , attacked and MUed him with a pitchfork.

She’s somewhat puzzled wheth­er any analogy was meant

The Army, Dalton added, will sign a contract with the govern­ing body of each selected college, under which the school will fur­nish a prescribed course of in­struction under its own professors, bouse on ^ ieed the soldiers in a manner meeting Army regula­tions, and provide textbooks, labo­ratory fuppllet and other academ­ic equipment.

12,350 Remain Idle About 12,360 insurgents atill

remained idle, including 1,400 em ployca of the Olen Aldcn Cow Company’s South Wilkes-Barre colliery which failed to reopen despite a vote by the UMW local there yeaterday to resume opera­tions.

The largest break in the ranks of the strikers came when 2,700 workers took up their Jobs again at the Eddy creek, Miles Slope and Grassy Island collieries of the Hudson Coal Company In the Scranton area.

Operations also were resumed at the Hazelton shaft colliery of the Lehigh Valley Coal Company, employing about 1,400, and the Edison Anthracite Company, em­ploying about 900 workers. Both groups Joined the walkout only yesterday and were the only ones idle in District 7.

Curry Case to White House Seven members of the WLB

which twice demanded that tbe strikers return to work carried the case to the White House. They discussed it with Marvin McIntyre, presidential secretary, and Economic Stabilization Direc­tor James F. Byrnes.

"It ’s been taken under advise­ment," the secretary said to re­porters.

Meanwhile, War Manpower Chief Paul V. McNutt told a press conference he would decide wheth­er he favored using the draft to terminate strikes when the ques­tion arises. But it is up to Iftcal draft boards, he added, to say whether men in essential industry forfeit their right to occupational deferment when they strike.

The debate should be conducted on a high plane and governed by fair rules and a proper sense of ethics. The conflict of opinion should be ivithout animus, the criticism de­signed to be constnictlve In char­acter. . . .

"The party in control of the government presents Its record of accomplishment and Its plans for the future. The other party offers the program It proposes to substi­tute. . . .

"I am told that It would be a serious error of Judgment on my part to discuss our party’s record of social achievement in the last decade. It Is not my intention nor Is it my desire to initiate political bickering—to raise new and unim­portant controversial Issuea.

"But I am not going to permit the opposition, designedly further­ing their own political progress, to select Issues most agreeable to their own purposes. I do not pro­pose to permit them to r Justify their continued ;»m paign of de­structive criticism on the basis that it is essential to tha prosecu­tion of the war. No doubt they would gladly forget our record of the past decade. The American people will never forget it. . . .’ ’

Social Security measures enacted during President Roosevelt’s ad­ministration, Walker asserted that the Democratic party "haa empha­sized the responsibility of govern­ment for human security—it will continue to emphasize it . . .”

Prealdent Roosevelt aent to the committee a telegram conveying hU gratitude to "my old friend. Ed Flynn," and expressed his wishes for success to the 56-year-old cab­inet member, who became post­master general in 1940, succeeding James A. Farley, former commit­tee chairman.

It will also be the annual “Ladies Night” of the club and all mem­bers and friends are asked to be on hand promptly at 6;30.

It -was learned today that Sir Frederick haa three publications to his credit. His first, in 192®. waa “ Asia in the Twentieth O n - tury." in 1927 he had publlahed “China and Foreign Powers” and hia latest book ‘The Future of the E ^ and West’’ to timely to­day In light of the events of the past three yesra.

(Jhancas of fuel oil rations go­ing to commercial eslabllshmente and public buildings with converti­ble faculties will be extremely porr after February ®. it was re­vealed today by War Price and Rationing Board 112.16 in an­nouncing that all 1101 applicants —those covering aU premises oth­er than private dwellings—must have their rations reduced In ac­cordance with Amendment No. 23 of the Fuel Oil Regulations.

By that date, which marks the end of the third heating period, aU 1101 users with more than 70 per cent of their floor space devoted to non-dwelUng use are required ( 1) to have converted their oil furnaces to coal burners (2) to be in the process of such conversion or (3) to be prepared to present to the local Board office a stetement from the War Production Board explaining why conversion Is im­possible. _ „ *

Surveys In 5 Per Cent All 1101 applicants are conald-

lered to have oil burning facilities 'that can be converted. Experience has proven that this statement to correct with the exception of not over 5 per cent who cannot con­vert. On this basis, the local Board la to receive survey •‘‘‘P®''** from those who cannot convert. It wUl, therefore, not be necessary to receive survey reports from the other 95 per cent.

Before the end of this month, and as early as possible before that date, all 1101 users must bring their rations to the local board office for adjustment. Aa of last Saturday, no 1,101 appli cant Is entitled to uro a raU ^ for any period beyond the third heating period unless a *J* *5 }m has been secured from the WPB extending this date determined by the OPC engineer (large users) that the facilities cannot be converted

RenidentUI Areas At the time an applicant sur

renders his coupon sheet, he must certify the percentage of the floor area u s^ for residential pur- pose.s. Such certification shall be made upon the application for the original ration. Using charts supplied bv the government, local boards will deUch the proper number of unit value coupons from the applicant’s ration.

Thoss 1,101 applicants whose premises are devoted entirely to residential purposes, such aa rooming houses, convalescent homes, etc., will not suffer a re­duction in their rations. Where commercial space is combined with living space, however, the percentage of non-dwelling use vidll be deducted.

Must Have Good Reason In casea where non-residential

conversion to pmwible but hasn’t been accompllsbAl by February «, a fuel oil ration for the fourth period will be denied the applicant unless he can present to the local board a tenable reason, signed by the WPB, why conversion hasn’t taken place.

It to possible that February ® may have a more portentloua meaning for operators of theaters and other places of amusement ■with convertible oil-burning fur­naces. Present indications are that such places aa these might be refused further oil allotmente after the third heating period even if they can obtain from the WPB a valid reason for not coiv- verting before the deadline.

The Juror excused was Miss I EHaine Forbes, secretary to a radio network executive.

Traveling Dangerous in Early Hours; All Bus Schedules Away Off.

Officers of Watkins Brothers, Inc.

(Continued from Patte One)

Heavy min and about one de- gree In temperature was all that aaved Manchester from a serious ice atom last night and early this aaorhing. In spite of the heavy min which partly froze on wires, streets and sidewalks, traveling was extremely hazardous early this morning and defense workers drove to work slowly on the icy streets. No accidents were re­ported.

Sand Did Not HelpThe town highway crews have

been busy for the past several days sanding the side streets to little effect, for the rain froze over the sand and rendered this work glmeet of no use.

No Wire Trouble Telephone wires, were thinly

coated v^th ice early#this morn­ing when the temperature stood at SO degrees, but the absence of Wind, and the rising temperature Indicated that the ice covering' would be melted off before any damage could result.

The local office of the Southern New Bhigland Telephone Company reported no damage suffered by last night's min and freeze and telephone service in this section is normal, it was reported.

Side Streets Terrible Main thoroughfare.s, for the

moat part, were in fairly good condition. This wi»s due to the fact that heavier traffic had been reUlng over them throughout the past three days and had cut down tha ice.

Washington, dan. 19 — (P) — (Tbairman Norman H. Davis of the American Red Cross announced today that the Army and Navy have requested procurement of 4,000,000 pints of blood during 1943— more than three times the amount obtained from volunteer donors last year.

Davis said the letter asked that weekly donations be stepped up t » at least 70,000 pints. This repro- sents a -more than 200 per cent In- ereaae above the 1,300,000 plnta obtained last year.

Hartford, Jan. 19—(F )— Because of "rapidly diminishing” fuel re­serves, Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin asked last night that an public and private buildings In ConnecUcut not connected with the war effort or necessary civilian servlcet be closed for two daya a week.

“Our beat esUmatea Indioate.” he declared in a special radio talk, “that our kerosene supply, unless speedily replenished, wlU last but a few daya; our fuel oil supply, about two week#; and hard coal, uncertain prospect#.”

Suggeata FoatponementaAa a further as'vlng of fuel, he

suggested that "clubs, sodetlea, fraternal organizations, and other groups” postpone meetings and dinners which might require fuel for heating or gasoUne for trana portatlon.

Included In hla list of eatabllah menta which should cloae volim- tarily were “places of amusement. Including aU social clubs; ail state and rounl(Jpal buildings, all busi­ness eatablishmenU, all mercantile establiahraenta except thoaa neces­sary to the sale and diatribuUsn of food, fuel and drugs.”

Not included were ogencisa nec eaaary to the administration of justice, police or fire protection or public health, w ar production plants, public utilities, achooU. churches, hospitals, newspapers radio atatlons, medical offices, or welfare institutions.

Anticipates Objections Anticipating objections to week

end closings, the governor sugges ted Sunday and Monday as the two days, but added: "The impor­tant part of tha plan la to close t'wo consecutive days each week and thereby to save much needed fuel.” ,

He asked local CJhambers of Commerce and Businessmen’s Aa- Bociatlons to help bring about full compliance with his request.

Emphasizing that “there la no cauae for panic or fear,” the gov» ernor declared “wo ■will meet this obstacle and overcome it.

Orders Added Cut In Fuel Oil Use

By Elmer Layden C3iicago, Jan. 19.— (P)— The Na­

tional Football League looks for­ward confidently to the 1948 sea­son. Continuing operations will in­volve obataclea, but the growing importance of football amounts almost to a mandate that these obstacles be overcome. TTie out­look is challenging. And the Na­tional League accepts the chal­lenge.

The 1942 season, despite the toss of 311 players, coachea, own­ers and club offlclala to the armed service, developed competi­tion as keen aa that of any sea­son in the league’s history. There is no reason to believe that com­petition will be anything but more keen in subsequent championship races, although there may not ‘je aa many great name players im­mediately available.

National League attendance held up remarkably well, indicat­ing once again that football fans go first for the competltlcm and secondly to watch individuals. It is that fact which indicates the league’s operations next fall will terminate successfully.

While it is foolhardy to pre sume that sports, or any other business, can operate on a "busi­ness as usual” policy in these war ♦tiwjMi,. tt Is even more foolhardy to consider curtailment or aban' donment of football.

Football LeadsThe first year of the war has es­

tablished football as one of the most im poiUnt games in world sports. Since Pearl Harbor, the public has come to realize that football has many attributes which far transcend the purely entertainment values of the sport.

The emphasis placed on foot­ball in the NsvVa pre-flight train ing courses and the demands made on the Office of W ar Infor­mation by troops abroad for sports news speak more eloquent­ly for the continuance ot football than any arguments yet present­ed by the game’s mlilions of en­thusiasts. It is this emphasis and these demands which make the National le a ^ e more determined than ever to bend its future poli­cies to the times and continue.

Slight DropMore persons saw National

league teams in acUon last year than ever before, counUng the series of games for Army Emer­gency Belief and exhibitions. A t­tendance for the regularly sched­uled games totaled 1,115,154, drop off of only six per cent from the all-time high of 1941.

By comparison this can be con sldered an increase in Interest in professional football, since sixteen of the 65 league games, or 30 per cent, were played under most un­favorable weather conditions. This waa by far the largest percentage of poor weather elates the league has encountered in the last dec­ade. More auspicious circum­stances on any five or six of these sixteen dates -would have permit­ted the league to set an attend­ance record for the^s^eleventh con­secutive year.

The problem of transportation is not expected to work any in­surmountable hardship on N a ­tional league teams, whose new schedule will be drawn on. the same lines as that of 1942. when a great many passenger nriiles were eUminated voluntarily by a re-arrangement of dates.

Pep Favored Over Speary

Hartford’s Favorite Expected to Win Auditorium.

By Harry Grayson N E A Sports Editor

New York, Jan. 19— Now that the baseball clubs have to train in the north, officiala appear to be wondering why they aver went south in the first place.

Ed Barrow recalls only one spring when the Yankees couldn't have worked at home. He once prepared the Maple Leafs in Tor­onto.

Reminding them of some of the bad weather the Yankees have run into at S t Petersburg, the boss man of the American League champions chides baseball writ­ers for leading the magnates in­to carrying the conditioning period a little too far. Oh, sure, that's all they were ever doing— enter­taining the scribes.

o r Diz Ready To Greet His Brother Paul

Hartford, Jan. 19— BiUy Speary, a fighter out of the coal pita of NanUcoke. Pa., faces WllUe Pep of Hartford, the world’s feather­weight champion, In a 10-round overnight match at the Hartford Auditorium tonight.

This is no new experience for the Pennsylvania battler, who whipped Joey Archibald when he was champion and also ticked Har­ry Jeffra, another ex-champ. Hav­ing failed to get a rematch with either while they were title-hold­ers. Speary will make a strong bid for a shot at Pep's title if he'Wlns.

O f vital interest to both Speary and his manager is the outcome of the coal miners* strike against John L. Lewis's attempts to foist a 50-cent raise in union dues. Both are members of the United Mine workers and are out in protest to Lewis's hlgh-hMded methods.

Pep goes after hla 58th consecu tive victory in great shape. He had but three days to get in top form again. He has fought three times since becoming champion and needed little work to reach his peak This will be WllUe's first fight in his home state since he wrested the title from OiMky Wright.

Speary, who went through three-year campaign as amateur without losing a bout. In Golden Gloves and other amateur chnm pionship tourneys, has won fly weight and bantamweight cham pionship# as well aa half a dozen gdid belts. He has had more than 400 fights. On November 13. he beat Pedro Hernandez, one of the high-ranking featherweights who gave Pep quite ,a battle here, Speary also defeated Georg Pace, Canadian bantam champ, Mike Raffa, and kayoed “Spider” Armstrong in bouts last year.

The first game this evening will probably be a thrilling basketbadl contest from start to finish.

By Sid FederProvidence, R. 1., Jan. 19.— (F)

— A lot of folks win tell )-ou to­day that Jackie Callura is the new head man of the feather- weighta^—at least part of ’em— but the champ is really your old Uricle Samuel.

There's no doubt that the little belting bull from Canada climbed all over Pittsburgh Jackie W il­son to take the National Associa­tion’s portion of the 126-pound crown in the Providence Arena last night, but now he has to wait on your rtd Uncle's say-so before he’s going to be able to find out what he can do with it.

For, Uncle Sam already has the finger on Wilson, who has been guaranteed first shot at (Callura s crown, and he also has hla eagle eye 6h Willie Pep, "the whizzr bang from <3onnectlcuL who has the tiUe blessing of the New York State Athletic Ommlssion. With WHson slated to be wearing a sijldler suit in the nex^ few week.s. and Pep awaiting his draft clas.sl- fleation. Callura's going to have to look for quite a piece to find tmy worthy challengers around at least any who figure to draw more than coffee and cakes at the gate.

O f course,^ there’s always the aging and ageless Chalky Wright the fight game’s “Old Man Rlb- ber.” The "Ribber." incidentally, foils along to Sal Bartola in Bos­ton Friday. Just one week after coming through with one of the young year’s biggest upsets by knocking off lightweight Joey Pe­ralta, and the mere fact that the C h^k can even take on two like that in p week at his age comes under the heading of major saira- clee.

Callura’s victory last night, be­fore a sell-out crowd of 5.920 paid customers largest turnout hereabouts in a decade— also fits into the load of beak-busting sur­prise packages that have been plied up this season, although W il­son was only a 4 to 6 favorite.

The 25-year-old Canadian, mar­ried and expecting to become a papa before very long, not only won. but waa the boss o f the show from start to finish, except for a short stretch from the third through the seventh • sesaiona, when the PltUburgh Negro' out- boaesd Wm. "nje gross gats was IU.98SJ0. ^ i

Brownies for Elden Auker.Everybody will be pulling for j

Paul, who on his sheer ability de- se rv ^ much more than he got out of baseball.

And it will be worth staying away from Sportsman’s Park to hear Dizzy air his brother’s pitch- ,

assignments in his InlintsDis |

If the younger brother can pitch half as good as he could in '34 and '35, "Me and’ Paul” will be a bet­ter act than ever.

Heater Buyers Gel Money Back

Hartford, Jan. 19 (/Pi—Retail­ers who sold bootleg electric heat­ers of the type seized by Office of Price Administration inspectors last week have been ringing the ”no sale” sign on their cas)> regis­ters as irate customers rushed them back for credit, the state OPA said today.

The heaters, described as ’’black market” products and pronounced ’’dangerous” by electrical Inspec­tors, were said to have been sold ” by the hundreds” in this area at prices far higher than ceilings on approved types.

How ninny were .sold or how many retailers had been selling them was not revealed by the OPA but a spokesman declared that customers apparently were getting their money without question.

A delay n getting the necessary grates w t = first experienced and today a lc(- ter was received stating that llic trouble now was getting the steel doors that would be necessary.

It was ’hoped to have the changes made during the short Christmas vacation.

Sense and Nonsense

SmUeatNothing on earth can smUe but man. Gema may flaah reflected

light, but what la a diamond flash Compared to an eye-flash and a bilrth-flash?

Flowers cannot smile: thle la a bharm that even they caimot blalm. It IS the prerogative of nan; it la the color which love I ears, and cheerfulness and joy— hose three. I t is a Ujght in the

^ d o w of the face, by which the keart elgniflea It la at homt and waiting.A face that cannot smUe la like bud that caimot bloesom, and

riea up on the stalk. Laughter . day, and sobriety is nlghL *n<l , smile is the twlUght that hovers ently between both.

Boaqnetoyou have any gifts to make: let this helpful word be said:

|oive your bouquets to the living keep your brickbats for the

_ dead.Iw h a t ’s the use of wounding others

with base brickbats sent In , showers ?|Why wait until a man is dead to I cover him with flowers?I Give your bouquets to the living. I say a loving word today;I Cheer a lonely heart with klnd- 1 ness help a pUgrlm'|On the way. I t o u will have a sense of pleasure I when a hungry soul you've fed; I Your bouquets will cheer the liv­

ing, brickbats cannot hurt the dead.

The doctor shook his head doubtfully:

Doctor—Tell me exactly what la wrong with you?

Patient—I, can’t explain It. j o(nly know I suffer.

Doctor—What kind of a life do you lead?
