It was due to the efforts of Fitzgerald and his shipmate, Hartney. that the life of Lieutenant Wang was saved.

The stor>' written in The Herald by a Herald reporter shortly after Fitzgerald's return to hla home after several months of hospltall zation, presented the true picture of the South Seas thrilling drama of life and death on a small raft at the mercy of the seas after the tragic sinking. It was in no amall meaaune that the local lad strug' gled along with hit valiant ship­mate In keeping the little raft afloat, steering it Into a friendly Island after a severe storm, and subsequent delivery o f the wound­ed officer to the Navy medical men.

We feel that our own local boy la_I deserving In a .«hare of thattragic enterprlae, for which Hart ney has been singled out aa the principal, and some group of au­thority should take the matter up with the Navy Department,' or with Lieutenant Charles Wang, USN., personally, to see If belated recognition might not be given ••Jimmy" for his part In that aaga o f the Smith Seaa.

One of the last pleasant days, before the raln-and-wlnd spell, ths scribe thought he’d takq a Iook «t the auggested site for a war memo­rial for the boys who have given their lives In World War 2, namely the Center Park, where now la towering fiagpole used only on na­tional holidays.

He cllthbed up the hill—the hard way-^lt’a more easily reached from Filnden street— and vlauallzed what a grand spot It would be for a suit­able monument—almost as readily seen from all directions as the Me­morial Tower on Rockville’s Fox HUl.

•Then he sat down to rest a few minutes and reflect on the blessing

It seems to be excepted public behavior that this war shall be fought and endured with lees pub­lic fervor, less patriotic demon­stration than was the esse last time. Perhaps that Is as natural to these modem times as fervor was to 1917, But now and then there is s time and occasion when a little of the old-time touch is especially appreciated.

It happened. jUst the other night, in a club not many miles from here. For decades of tradi­tion. the club has been a favorite meeting place for Americans of one racial descent, although oth­ers have always been welcome. The other evening, toward mid­night, there was the usual crowd, when a somewhat distingu<'shed visitor entered. He was called upon for a .speech, as late crowds will sometimes call upon such a chance personage. He stood up and merely said: "Let'a all sing the ‘Star-Spangled Banner.’ ’’

•nie national anthem was sung aa It baa seldom besn sung, and aftejr It was over members crowd- ed 'sround their visitor, some of them with tears In their eyes. •They wanted to thank him for his suggestion. "You must know how some people seem to feel about US,’.’., the ysaid, "but we Germans are 'good people, good Americana. And we appreciate your asking us to sing as you did."

Perhaps, If the t^ th were known, some of the rest of us would appreciate more patriotic singing than we are afforded.

Co-'ncldcnts ,.a re considered rare, but there seems to be a fipek of them among the soldiers stationed at the armory. A half dozen have been told here and here is the l^teq^:

A soldiej' was invited to Sun­day dinner by a local family. At this dinner there, happened to be a visitor who had come from New York City. The soldier and the visitor, a young lady, were intro­duced butt as usual neither heard the other’s name.

Later in the evening thf pair started talking and the soldier re­marked that he believed that he had seen her the summer before. He, asked her If she had ever beento-'-------mentioning a hamlet ofa dozen houses in the mountain regions of New York State. She answered yes, that her parents lived there. "S o do mine," he an­swered. ,

Further conversation disclosed that parents of both had lived next to each other for years. The soldier and the young lady visited their parents seldom and had nev­er knowTi of each other’s exist­ence.

Among the many changes that have been made at tl|c Sheridan is one that few had noticed but which was always an eye sore to those who knew what was wrong.

When the cocktail room . was first opened in the hotel a girl artist was brought to town to paint a large picture of General Philip Sheridan. The painting was good as it showed him on his horse with a number of the men of his cavalry regiment, but the artist made one mistake. Above the picture, cut into the frame she spelled the first name "Phillip'adding "I.” The new ownerwished to keep the picture. This he has been able to do, but he has put a moulding over the top of the picture concealing the name and is now arranging to have a brass plate made to set in the lower center of the • picture, with the name properly spelled.

A bus trip from Manchester to Hartford and a return trip for only two fares was the experience Of a local young man recently. No, he didn’t cheat the bus driver or use an old transfer or any other dodge. On his trip over to the Capital city he fo u ^ a dime on the floor of the bus juet as he entered. When he was coming back home he entered another bus and spotted a token on ita floOr. Wonder what the chances are of his ever repeat­ing his experience?

"It’s tough enough that in my old age I’ll .have to go to the Poor House and worse that I’ll have to climb a hill to get there, but the last straw is that they won’t let me in when I get there unless I have a ration brok."

MANCHESTER M ILK DEALERS

At the outing of the Manches­ter Coon and Fox Club Sunday there was a game played that re ; quired firing a shot gun at a tar­get filled with nartiea. The name having the greater number of buckshot was the winner. Every­thing was set up, the names writ­ten. the gun ready, a good shot to fire the gun. was selected and then it was discovered that among the 100 or more hunters, there was no shell. After a delay one was found and the game went off, as sched­uled.

•There was one man present who had shells but they were all at home. He has an unusual way of. getting them. Because of the war needs it is hard to buy them. This man told a friend how he got ■hells. He aaya he reads the pa­pers for the obituary notices and when he sees the death of a man whom he knows was a hunter, he calls, extends his sympathy and then asks If by any chance he had any ahella when he die< If the answer Is yes, hs says, he offers to buy them.-

It is a rather odd way to get Shells, he admits, but he says the results are good.

While on ^the subject of buses it is noticeable that . the rule against smoking on them is not being very well obeyed. On one of the Manchuter Green buses to Depot Square, we are told, a "gen­tleman" boaidcd the bus at the post office. He had a lighted cigar In his hand when he entered and, all during tbe 'trip, he kept it go­ing, but the bus driver gave no indication of noticing his actions.

Yel'4lrectly across from the pas­senger was the conspicuously post­ed sign phifUbiting smoking in buses. Such signs not only give notice of the bahv^ut also quote the penalty the law mflicts on both the driver and the passenger, if anyone should complain a1v| cause their arrest. Perhaps both isqght to read and heed it.

The King’s Daughters Circles, in line with most of the other wo­men’s organizations in town, have held rummage sales recently, and one o f the committee was pleased and surprised to receive a letter from a former Manchester business man In a distant town, who evi­dently continues to take The Her­ald, for in the envelope waa a clip­ping from this paper announcing the rummage sale, with a check for five dollars to help along the circle’s aunshlne work in the com­munity. .

Washington, Nov. 1.— (A*) — President Roosevelt in an exhaustive review of the world food situation urged Congress today to continue and increase the administra­tion’s $800,000,000 food price subsidy program to assure an adequate supply and preventa "serious and dangerous cycle" of inflation. To a legialattire which has been aharply critical of Federal subsidies and which haa leaned rather toward higher farm prices to encourage greater prP duction for war, the chief execu­tive sent the longest special mes­sage of his nearly 11 years in the White House—10,000 words. He had checked and rechecked it many times and spent almost a month writing it.

An early morning survey show­ed virtually complete shutdowns of operations in West Virginia and Pennsylvania, each having about 110,000 bituminous work­ers. Similarly, Ohio reported ail of its mines closed and 21.000 idle. Indiana production had about stopped, with 7,000 out.

These reports came in aa mem­bers of the United Mine Woi'kers Policy committee gathered in Washington for a session sched­uled to start at 11 a. m., but later delayed until 3 p. m., (e.w.t.) d'le to late arrival of some delegates Momentous decisions were in the offing.

' . t mto this section slowly but* bychurch. It was no particular an- - ‘

niveraary date In the church his­tory, but it had been called to the pastor’s attention that in the records of the General Assembly ol

' 1843 the locSI church waa author­ized to conduct its ecclesiastical affairs under the title of "Congre- g;atlonaI Society of, Manchester.”

Dr. Woodruff’s review of Center CThurch’s beginnings has many in- Ureating features from an histori­cal poiint of view, -and in that in­terest, The Herald today prints his sermon in full.

At yesterday morning’s seryice Robert Bissell, a; Choir member who has hot missed a service in two years, was privileged to step forward and lead the chorus. He leaves this week for service with the Armed Forces,of the United States.

Dr. Woodniff's sermon follows;"Center Church In Retrospect"Some time~ag;o an enterprising

newspaper reporter came to me and aaid that Center church was founded 100 years ago. in 1843."Were we going to celebrate our Centennial year?f I told the re­porter sbe was wrong, that we came into being 164 years ago and had already celebrated our 150th anniversary. What this reporter had unearthed in the Private Acts of 1843 waa a statute which read that the Ecclesiastical Society of Orford in the Town of Manches­ter "shall hereafter be known and called by the name of -the Congre­gational Society of Manchester. ”

'The Ecclesiastical Society did not cease to exist at that time but our corporato name was changed.Since then and do’Sgi to this day Ve have <H>«rated under th e dual system of the church and the Ecclesiastical Society. . Perhaps 100 years under the name of the Congregational Society of Man­chester calls for an historical ad­dress.

\ n Saints DayThere is another reason for look­

ing backward today. Tomorrow is All Saints Day in the calendar year. In times past certain days were set aside in honor of certain Saints. Now a Saint in the ning waa simply a Christian Paul asks to be remembered Saints he means the Christians in that particular church. When we say iq the Apostles’ Creed that we believe in tha Communion of the Saints we mean that <we believe in the fellowahip of Christians. But the word4ias come to mean a par. ticularly effective and successful— a useful Christian, a saintly Chris tian. But even with that high standard there proved to be more Saints than there were days. So, the Pope and the Council of Trent set aside a day in honor of qjl Sajnts—Saints remembered and Saints iorgottm. Saints known and Saints unknown. A day to pay trlbuto'to all whose influence ivas sane and uplifting, but whose names are forgotten and lost. Now, that, it aeems to me, was a fine and sensible thing to do.

Gray says in his "Elegy ”:•'Full many a gem of purest ray

serene^The dark unfathomed caves of

ocean bear.Full many a flower is bom to

bloom unseen.And waste its aweetneae on the

desert air.”'Of-courae. that la true and par

ticularly true of humans because your saintly person Is sure to be modest and self-effacing, He es­capes notice whenever possible. As Christ says. He takes the lower seat and his left hand does not know W'hat his right hand does Such are the Salt of the Earth‘and the Light of the World.

Who can measure our debt to All Saints? All Saints Day is in honor of all such. A multitude of kindly and devoted Uvea lived in the love of God and the Seyvice of Man.Who can measure our debt to All Samta, all good Christians who have gone before T- Indeed who can measure our debt to the past ?We are what we are today, we have whaVwis have, because others have labored and we have entered into the fruits of their labor. They paid for our wealth, our comfort,, our security, our freedom by their

toil and aacriflees and, at times, their death. Their painful neces­sity was the mother of their in­ventions.

Need Imagination It Is well to remeihber that, when

we t ^ to recall the past and state such facta aa we are able to gather about 164 years of Center church.What we need in dealing with tlje past ia historical imagination else history ia dull and dpr. It waa Mid of Dickens that while for Par­liament thnpoor were atrategic ele- menta in political economy to be dealt with by appropriations and pocr laws, to Dickens they were hu- mar beings. You knew when you read Dickens what it felt like and tasted like and smelled like to be poior.' You aat down with jhe poor St dinner. You worked and you Ived with them.

Now 1 have not the magic-touch to make Canter ehurch men and women coma alive and breaths and .tva and dla. But at least, we can til give a sympathetic thought to Jie many people who have loved ird served this church in times last, accepted ita offices,- acted on ta committees. By their toil, lacrifices, their diligence, their tindlinesa, their apirit of adventure Jiey have made the church what it • today.

To go back, to the beginnings of ^ n te r church ia to go hkek to the leginainga of Manchester. Begin-

im :

1731 most of the Five Miles was divided up into farms. For -many years the people on these farpis went to church In East Hartford,

distance of from five to ten miles. Church going was compul- sorj’. Some of them walked. Some rode horseback. There were few vehicles. This was a hardship and ki 1748 the settlers on the Five Miles' lots were allowed three months of the minister’s time. Still later they petitioned the Leg­islature for more preaching and more of the minister’s, time. We have their petition signed by 42 persons. They set forth that they would provide a house of worship, that, their taxable property was 3,000 pounds and their taxes 45 pounds paid in wheat, rye, Indian corn and oats.

Separate Society ^In 1772 (the War of the Revo­

lution was now approaching) they really came of age. They were in- corpo.ratiKi as a se|iarate Ecclesi­astical Society. They became the Parish of Orford. But event.s moved slowly. There was trouble over the site for a meetinghouse.At last In 1776 the matter was settled and the frame was raised. But that year the war broke out and Vnoat of the men went off to fight.’ Four years after, in 1779, the building was completed and the churc! formally organized with 16 men and two women as charter members. Thus came into being the Fifth church in Hart- ford, the Second chufeh in East Hartford and the First church in Manchester.

What of the people who made up the church? For many decades it was a poor struggling church mads up of pioneer farmers. ^ It doubtle.ss reflected the strug^es of all the Puritan churches of early New England. The French and Indian wars were long and hard. The War of the Revolution waa followed by a period of de­spondency and financial stringen­cy. All wars are costly and leave debt and poverty behind. This was a now church in a sparsely settled rural community. Not infrequent­ly it was without a pastor. Gen­erally the pastor fares about as well as his people. Let me recount events in the lives of two pastors and you read between the lines

.-and imagine the people.\B enajah (?) Phelps was the fir^ pastor. JVhen the War of the RevbJ^ution broke out he was a New^nglander doing missionary work iff.Nova Scotia. He refused to t a k e u p ^ m s against the Colonies Vnd waa driven out of Nova Scoti^ He returned to try to get his faniily out and was cap­tured and put bn a British man of war. Probably the captain didn't know what to do with a little band of patriots so he piff them in a little open boat 14 miles out at sea. Miraculously they reached land. , 4

Well, the end of the atoiy is that Mr. Phelps found his way to Man­chester Just when the church was looking for a pastor. Here he labored successfully for 13 years and left many descendants. Many years later in 1814 a young man of 27 named Elisha B. Coohycame to the pastorate. Tl^e church was small. , I t had been , without a minister for live years. But Mr. Cooke was just what the church needed. I t began to prosper and grow. He . held successful revival services—a standard feature and method of his time. For nine yea'rs he labored with great effectlveX ness. Then suddenly he was gone.

Tragic EndHe had been helping a friend

haying in the lots of the north of us isomewhere in the vicinity of Bigelow and Russell streets. He returned through the wood which is now Center Springs Park. In crossing the stream he leaped from rock to rock or balanced on a log. Apparently his foot slipped and in falling his head hit a stone and he was stuiyied and drowned in shal­low water. Mr. (Jooke was student, scholar,, pastor, friend. When he died at the age of 36 there was no doubt about the future of Center church as It bad oyer 250 mem­bers.

Fifty years later a crisis of another sort developed. Hie 'Uni­tarian movement which had its origin in Boston swept over Ndw England. The minlstei of ’ Center church wanted to make the church Unitarian. Some objected. But he did succeed in 'taking ^bout one- half the congregation-to C:!hene:' Hall where Unitarian services were held under the patronage of Cheney families. Those who were left a t the Center called the Rev. Silas W, Robbins to be the minis­ter. He was quiet, tactfuL^cholar- ly. He brought, unity out of dis­cord. One by one the fariUies came hack until there were none left at Cheney Hall. •• Mr. Robbins lived and labored here for 20 years. To his scholarly researches we owe most of the old records we possess To pursue the story further would be to bring U up to modem times.

The church has grown steadily for many years until it has become one of the large churches of Con- ndcUcut.

Some are interested in the Sun day school. I t was started in 1820 and has been in continuous opera­tion for 123 years.

Some are interested in buildings Thera have been five buildings on or near this site. One was to the east of us about where the Post Office npw Is.. Another was acrosB the street, what is now Center Park The present church was' built In 1904 and two of the three members

us. The present PBH.sh House which people tell u.s is one of the finest in Now Ensiand was dedicat ed in September, 1930.

This, then, is s brief cursory his­tory of O nter church—if it can be called that. Wherf I sec is that we stand in a great solidarity of Chris­tian Endeavor down the years, Past member.* of Center church did not dwell 1n our world. No moro'can we dwell in theirs. We llye in an expanded world, an elec­tric world of telephones- wireless, airplanes. But the faith of our father.* is living still: Still is it the most vital necessity of life. This is the way \vc must travel through life—the same way— the way of the Nazarchc.

Strong ChurchThe Center Cliurch ' has been

strong and influential in the past, will continue to be .so in the future only as its membens maintain the fellowship, brotherhood in the Christian way and go out and preach the Gospel with their lives. All else beside—without that . is much ado about nothing.

It was said of the Elder Beecher that someone asked him why il was that the ministry of the Park Street church . was so successful. He replied: "I preach here Sundays but there are 450 men and women who go out every day in the w'eek to translate into life and service the me.s.sage of this church."

That is the heart of the matter. The future of Center church is both difficult and exciting. For its large task is to maintain in this place the idealism, the program and the principles of Jesu.s Chri.st in the midst of scoffers and the in­different and pcssinii.sts who do not believe in the pos.sibility of human brotherhood. Elwood says: "We iiave no record of any civilization which endured which did not have a religious calling for its morals— nor one that endured long after that setting was dissolved."

That .setting we must provide.Reported Killerl In .Action

King's Abdication Key to Coalition

Naples, Nov. 1—(1*5—A train o( circumatancea and atatomenta suggested today that abdication of King Vittorio Emanuel* in favor of a regency for the six-year-old Prince of Naples constituted the key to aucceesful formation of a coalition Italian government pro­posed by Premier Pietro Badoglio.

In a press conference etatement yesterday, Count Carlo Sforza, former Italian foreign minister, said he was wlUlhg to give Badog­lio “my parallel collaboration" in suoh a government, but implied abdication of the king waa a con­dition of his cooperation.

Sforza identified, himself with the views of Benedetto Croce, noted Italian philoaopher, who last week expressed himself as strongly in favor of a regency for the son of Crown Prince Umberto.

Badoglio. who has declined to discuss the suggested abdication, conferred yesterday with both Sforza and Croce, but no state ment was released as to the na­ture of their conversation.

^ e Ambulance Unit have given iip dates, moving pictures and de-

. -voted themselve to making the dgiva a success. None of them are sacking glory. They were asked to do a job and they are doing It. Before the drive even started they turned out more than their share o f the work necessary to put the i^ v e over the top but are still earrying on. That goes for the wardens also. Who have tried hard to make this a success.

But the time for dallying around to see if someone else will contribute has passed. A concert­ed action on all of the citizens Is needed to put the campaign over Its quota. If you have not yet contributed make an effort to con­tact your wardtn at once. Re­member, It's your war, too.

He reported that (HO member­ship IncreasSd l,104.d36 since the last obnventlon and said more than $1,200,000 was spent on organiza­tional activities during the year.

*Tt is unfortunate that the na­tional leaders of the AFL (Ameri­can Federation of Labor) have not sufficiently recognized the need for unity of action on the part of or­ganized labor,” Murray said, "La­bor unity today must encompass first and foremost united action on all o f the important war issues."

He also pleaded for international labor unity, saying, “ To assure the unconditional sufrender of the Axis forces and the establishment of a democratic and Just peace for the peoples of the l»-orld, there must be international labor collaboration."

Hallowe'en in Manchester' was less destructive this year. This was probably due to the parties held at different schools and Recreation centers by the American Legion. The police were on duty in all parts of the town and there were but few complaints reaching headqiiarters.

Is Up ^ DeveloperJudge Hyde declared that the

financial responsibility for storm water drainage was wKJi the devel­opers as the federal government requires that deveIoper.s show in their specifications that storm water drainage systems had been In.stalted in the tracts opened for residential construction to receive priority orders for construction materials, and that the developers were ducking this requirement and were trying to put the matter up to the town.

In several Instances, where there was a distinct municipal responsi­bility to take care of atorm water, the town has voted to install storm water mains, notably on Middle Turnpike, West, where a ne^ block of small homes baa been built. No storm water mains had been pievl- ously laid on Middle Turnpike to take care of water from Essex. Oxford and Hawthorne atreets, and from Armory and Haynes atreets.

The Selectmen recently passed a standard regulation concerning the installation of water maina in new residential tracts, which is now in force.

He pointed out that the W ar. Food Administration has tackled two situations requiring Immedi- afe action—milk and bread—that the milk program has Just been | announced and that a "program I to prevent an increase in the price \ ot bread is now being developed.” j

Opposes Taking First'Shot"Infliction Is like that. A little

leadii to more. I am unalterably opposed to taking the first shot by congressional, or by any other, ac. tion. The nation cannot afford to acquire the habit. We have children to think of.”

Those advocating "an inflation course," he continued would have to l)e ready to accept responsibili­ty for the results.

"We have so far been following a tried path,” he asserted, ‘‘and are getting along fairly well. This is no time to start wandering into an untried field of uncontrolled and uncontrollable prices and wagea”

The* president did not say how much new money the government would need for price, supports in the unprecedented production goal year o f 1944, but he said It would be more than the $800,000,000 used this year because fanners must have some inducement to meet these new goals while consumer charges are being kept down.

Renews Request On €X X iHe renewed his request to ex­

tend the life of the commodity credit corporation and to give it additional funds and said the vari­ous agencies charged with the re­sponsibility of atablizing the cost of living will from time to time place before Congress the "pro­grams necessary to hold the line.”

"These will require money," he said. “ I strongly urge the Con­gress to give serious consideration to their requesta. I am confident that the executive and legislative branches of the government can pull in harness to get the Job done."

He said the $800,000,600 spent so far this year was made up of $350,- 000,000 used by the CCC to support prices for 11 specific classes of food Itema and one miscellaneous group, and'J450,000,000 o f Recon­struction Finance corporation funds to reduce prices o f meat and blitter.. '

Only Fmctlon Requlrae OutlayIn two food list and price ex­

hibits attached to his message, the president drew Congress' attention to-the fact that "production of only a fraction of the commodities re­quired any outlay by the govern­ment."

"In other words, in the majority of the products,” he said, "the price which the consumer paid was high enough to cover the support price; whereas in a small percentage of the crops, the price which the con> aumer paid waus pot high enough to pay the farmer the price which was promised.” •.H e said the $$00,000,000 cost of

Increasing The Circulation

At this time of year, many peo­ple become aware of the fact that the circulation is poor, as evidenc­ed by coldness, numbness, or a tingling sensation of the hands or feet.

'The ordinary case o f defective circulation is ' accompanied by muscular weakness. As a general rule, those who keep the muscles trim by active exercise, will at the same time have good circulations. While the circulation of the blood ia partly dependent upon arteries, it also depends to a large extent upon the acUvlty of the large mus­cles groups of "the body. Without muscular action there could in fact be no circulation of the blood.

There site moire than 500 mus­cles In the body and these com­prise two-fiftha of the N ^ d y a weight. The heart Itself U^com- posed almost entirely of muscular tissue and these muscle fibers are also important parts of the struc­ture of the walls of the arteries. If you want to Improve the general circulation, you will find your muscles will pfcvide you with the greatest help you could possibly obtain.

In all of the,usual circulatory disturbances brought on by sedent­ary occupations, the chief Uiing for the patient to keep in mihd Is to take more exercise, as the relief of defective circulation Is influenc­ed more by the proper kind of exer­cising than by any other factor. Either light or heavy exercises, as the case demands, will immediately Increase the flow of liquids in the body and will hav4 a beneficial ef­fect upon both the blood circula­tion and the lymphatic circulation Furthermore, such muscular actiV' Ity will also tend to produce a permanent Improvement through strengthening the muscle fibre all over the body.

Vigorous exercise increases the circulation by reason of the fact that the muscles which are work­ing, send demands for more blood to the heart, which then pumps faster and more forcibly to speed the extra blood to the tissues where it Is needed. The blood therefore travels through the body at a faster rate when you are exer­cising. Thus tijere is an immedi­ate Improvement of circulation.

However, in taking up calisthe­nics. it is well to keep in mind that light exercise is best in the be­ginning for the one who Is not accustomed to taking any exercise. An ambitious spell o f violent ex­ercising usually does a grtat deal more harm than good. To get the beat results in increasing the cir­culation by exercise, it is neces­sary to begin slowly and to in- creaae the circulation by exercise, it is necaasary to begin slowly and to increase your calisthenics only gradually. Elxercise is a wonder­ful remedy, and the only one worth considering In Use development of a brisk blood clrculaUon, but it must be rightly used.

At the start take only a few light calisthenics, combined with a short walk. Every few days, add another exercise. In this way, you will get ail. of the good effects and will also avoid the muscular sore­ness which is bound to develop if you exercise too strenuously at firsL

Those who hav^ not exercised regularly for yean, can certainly afford to go slowly at first, slowly increasing their exercises over a period of several weeks. A good plan in regard to the walking is to start by walking a mile the flnt day and theh walk only 1 minute .longer each day. In this way at the end of 45 days, you viU be able to walk a good distance with­out ever having Ured yourself ou t

Exercise together with walking will improve the clrculaUoh In every part o f the body, and 1 know of no other way In which the one with a poor. circulaUon can im­prove so much as he can by follow­ing the. directions 1 have given you.

Qmsttons And Answers (Scarlst Esvsr)

Question: Mrs. K. J. asks: "Will you kindly answer some quesUons shout scarlst fever? Is tlure any danger o f a child taking it If he IS with other children Just coming down with It? How long after a child has been exposed does he corns- down with It? How long should other children in the family be kept away from those having it? "

Answer: There is danger that a child exposed to scarlet fever will contract the dlkeaae. 1 auggest that you try to increase the child's tm- muhtty by giving him an acid fruit diet for a few daya. Childira who have the disease should be kept away from other children for 3 to 6 weeks. Your doctor will tell

\ ( Grapefruit)Queatlon :"W hen my friends all

had colds, I tried your suggestion one morning about making a grapefruit infusion when 1 felt as though 1 were coming down with a cold ,It tasted so good that I cut up another grapefruit and drank some more of the liquid conUnulng this clear through the day without gaking anything else. To my sur­prise, the cold went away in spite of the fact that always before when I started with a cold it hung on for at least two weeks. Do you think it was the grapefruit Juice which cured me, or was it Just that at that particular time I hap­pened to have an unusually good resistance. If I get another sugges­tion of a cold next winter, shall I repeat the treatment?"

Answer; Of course, it is ver/ likely that your resistance was. un­usually high when you succeeded In throwlngXpff a cold so easily; however, the alkalinizing effect of the grapefruit infusion may have been helpful. As a general rule, when a cold once has a good start there is little that may be done to atop it and it 'will usually run its course. It may be possible to al­leviate the distreas and to shbrten the duration of the cold by treat­ment but it is seldom posatble to bring about a complete disappear­ance of the cold unless soda or some other alkalinizing treatment is used. Inasmuch as you received such good results, it would be a good plan to repeat the grapefruit Kgimen next year if you seem to be developing another cold. How­ever, why not try observing such good habits of living that you do not develop any more colds?

(Black and Blue Marks)Question: Norman H. wants to

know: "Is there any thing that would cause me to develop black and blue marks easily? I find that the skin discolors very readily and I can not remember any bump or bruise sufficient to explain it."

Answer: There Is considerable evidence that a lack of vitamin C in the diet favors the tendency to the ready formation of black and blue marks. This vitamin is need­ed for healthy blood vessels and when the supply is deficient, the walls of the small blood vessels or capillaries may become weakened, thus allowing the escapes of blood, which accumulates beneath the skin and produces the black and blue appearance.

(Milk)Question: "Worried Motber'

writes: "My daughter who is five years old refuses fresh milk but takes canned milk freely, either when diluted with water and used as a beverage, or when added to cooked vegetables. Is it all right to let her use the canned variety?”

Try to Avert Lack of Pulp

Effort to Shift Farm­ers to Cutting May Stave Off Shortage.Ottawa, Nov. 1,—(>P) — A gov-

emment campaign to shift farm­ers to the . woods during the agri­cultural slack season this winter for pulpwood cutting operations, now given a higher labor priority, promised today to stave off an im­pending pulpwood ahortage af­fecting both Canada and the Unit­ed States.

The change in the labor priority and the proposed campaign to re­cruit workers were announced in genera, terms last night by Labor Minister Humphrey Mitchell.

Category Not Given A statement by Mitchell did not

give the priority category to which pulpwood cutting had been assigned, but it was learned else­where that such operations had been raised from the.“ C classifi­cation it formerly held to "B" pri­ority.

Mitchell said further that "other measures related to the seasonal character” of pulpwood cutting were planned, but he gave no details. Another sou* . said this referred to a new dominion- provincial campaign to induce farmers to work in the Canadian pulpwood foresU this winte: while they otherwise would have little to do.

Raising of the pulpwood cutting priority leaves it still below such vital operations as fuel produc­tion, steel and war and combat materials but puts it on a par with logging, communications, trans­portation, agriculture and news­paper publishing.

Go Into EssentinI War UsesMitchell’s statement said much

of the industry's products go into euential war uses. At the same time he called for elimination of non-esaential use of paper and pulp products and "an effective and vigorous program of waste paper.salvage!”

The sUtement said the United SUtes gets 75 per Cent of its newsprint paper 'requirements from. Canada and that "without newsprint paper from Canada the publication of newspapers in the United Kingdom. Australia and other United Nations and coun­tries Itberatsd by tha Allies would be impossible.’*

WHITE CROSS was brought to the Manchester Area on November 1, 1938, by a representative group o f Manchester citizens, at the request o f many firms and individuals, to provide a way for working men and women and their families to obtain hospital care without straining their financial resources, without charity, and without profit to anyone. On its Fifth Anniversary hrre, the WHITE CROSS is proud to announce to its thousands of local members, to Manchester area employers, and to all others who ^ave contributed to this accompRshment, the extent to which its original aims for the protection o f Connecticut health have been achieved.

waa able to drop on Britain. This m what Germany would have liked to do to Britain, what Goer- Ing and Hitler U^featened they would do.

Not many montha > ago, they gloried in the air war. ' They boasted then that, whenever and If any bomba should ever drop on Germany, they would be repaid a hundred-fold. But that happen.s, now, to be the proportion In .which Germany's bombs are- coming back to Germany.

We do not have to worry, this time, about Germany’s escaping from this war witnout kinoWlBg what war Is on German soil. There is only one blot on this rig­orous justice. The German peo­ple probably believe,, still, that their own bombs were dropped only on "military targets.” They probably. In response to their own propaganda, regard American and British airmen as the only "sav­ages” of this air war. They have forgotten what a glorious triumph Coventry was. We should remind them, now and later, lest they ever forget, this time, that there are Inevitably two sides to mod­ern war.

Lesds Not After WagesThe UnlUd Mine Workers* pol­

icy committee, which )s John L. liswis, la meeting today under threat from President Roosevelt :that It will accept the War Labor ttoard's versiM of the HUboIs con­tract "or else.”

The "or else” will be, the Presi­dent said Friday, "decisive action to see that coal is mlnedf.”

Unless the President has some dramatic surprise up his sleeve, unless Lewis does yield, that “de­cisive action” will apparently be new government, operation of the mines.

That seems the extent of the gewemment’s threat to Lewis. On the other hand, it la interesting to ton* a look at Lewis’ position. What is. this contract he psopoaes to turn down? >

According to the President's nnalysis, which we will accept in preference to any Lewis himself may offer, the contract approved by the War Labor Board would in­crease the miner's routine pay check from I45.S0 to $54.00 a week. That is an increase of $8.00, or one of $1.85 a day on a She day week-

Against t ^ t , the" announced Lewis goal from the start of this controversy has been a pay in­crease of $2.00 a day. Every one 'knows that, tai such wage de­mands, goals are set high enough to permit compromise. It is a fair oonclusion, then, that Lewis already has within his acc^tance a wage Increase probably quite as Ugh aa anything he ordinarily U>p^ to gain.

Xiewls could, if- he wished, ac- sept thS War labor Board con-

, tract and proclaim it his victory. He could, and would, if it were dollars and cenU in his miner's pay envelope which alone eon- camed him.

But he is obviously after some­thing more than dollars and cents. His and major goal is an im­position of his will, first* upon the War Labor Board be detests, then upon the President he hates, then upon this whote country, for which he seems to have no love either. It is to be judged that he would react as unfavorably to a pay increase of $1.99 a day as he does now to one of $1.35 a day. It is to be judged, too, that it has been a mistake to try to yield him anything. This is not an issue of wages. It is an Iseue of personal power, of dicUtorship. As in all such issues, appeasement is noth­ing but a fatal mistake. Let the president and Congress face our enemy honestly and directly.

Better Hallowe'en— HereWe Uiink both the Police De­

partment and the young people of Manchester are to be compliment­ed upon the fact-that Maficbestor once more enjoyed an old-fash­ioned Hallowe'en. The Police Commission set the stage for this happy event with its plea and its warning. And our young people, however wayward they sometimes seem, had good sense enough to realize that things had been car­ried too far in recent years.

The combined result was that the Police Department waa on the job, as it did not seem to be a year age, and that, this year, it needed to make no arrests, while many should have been made a year ago. In all this there la proof ^ t bad conditions are not inevitable. A community can pull itself together and regain its self respect. This is what happened in Manchester, and it is good hewa

For a contrast—one of vandal­ism progTcaalng beyond the re­motest connection with the true spirit of Hallowe’en—one need only turn to the city o f Hartford. There vandalism took a sudden and ugly turn down *the vengeful alley of racial prejudice. Hart­ford, Saturday night, might well have seemed a Nazi city in the heyday of Hitler's own poison.

Perhaps, as some suspect, what happened in Hartford didn’t just happen. Perhaps it w u planned by lingering friends of Hitler. But, however it did happen, it was a live reminder that, soundly we may be defeating Hit­ler on the battlefield, there iS still a danger that he nuiy win part of his victory in the realm of the American mind. He is certain to lose this war. But H would be tragic irony if, defeating him, America should still adopt for its own poison upon which he built his dlctatorMiip. It la atlU true that this is a war of men’s minds

restrain the wish that at least once. In some situation, at some time. Allied diplomacy would have the nerve and loyalty to principle to. align Itself clearly on the side of democracy and freedom.

Miller to Ask WMC,Inquiry

IiiveHtigatioii o f ‘Idle Men uiid Machines* in Hartford* Is Promised.

Hartford, Nov. l - ‘ (iTi A request for a War Manpower commission Investigation of "idle m ^ and^ldle machines” In Hartford wfls promis­ed yesterday by U. S. Bep. William J. Miller iR-Conn) after hearing labor representatives charge that management would not cooperate in reducing labor shortages.

The Connecticut congressman had invited the labor representa­tives to discuss with him plans for a 10 per cent Increase in produc­tion to offset the 10 per cent labor shortage whith has made Hartford a “critical labor area” and thus un­qualified for additional contracts.

Denies Labor Shortage Exists But the representatives of great­

er Hartford labor unions denied the existence of a labor shortage and contended that "Idle men and Idle machines” are common throughout war plants.

They attributed a "complete lack of full utilisation of facilities and manpower” primarily to labor hoarding , by management and to "an overall effort by management not to cooperate with labor.” They agreed that if management were willing to cooperate with labor, plans for removing , the Hartford area from the critical list could be worked out.

“ Wants Increaaed Production”. "Organized labor wants increas­

ed production but only better labor-management relations will make that possible,” declared Mar­tin J. Hogan, business agent at Local 251, Unity lodge.

" I f management will sit down with us we can cooperatively draw up plans for increased production and effective utilisation of men and machinery.”

He charged that many invita­tions had been sent to management to discuss production problems had been consistently refused.

as OutletFor Energies

Provides Relaxation and Recreation for War- Strained Youths.

During these tense war days, when everyone's efforts to do his rightful part are strained, almost to the breaking point, when teen­agers give parents a real prob­lem, the Y. M. C. A. provides An. outlet for the energies of youth aa well as an educational and inspira­tional means of proper use of leis­ure and recreation time. The local Y. M. C. A. is seeking the support of the townspeople at this time so that its valued work can continue unhampered by financial strin­gency.

What the "Y ” has to offer is outlined in a statement by the president, Rev, Dr. Ferris E. Rey­nolds, as follows:

"Manchester’s youth is fortu­nate in having recreation oppor­tunities in the three fine buildings in town, two of which are town supported and the third by public contribution.

'The''contributors of the Man­chester Y. M. C. A. have liberally supported the woi-k each year and

reapod thMr iMiMrfIts In ths MtU- factlon that tlMy hav« provldod a youth center. Teen age boys and girls from all over town have spent many happy hours in clubs and recreation activities which have helped them - meet the situ­ations of today.

"Not only do sports provide healthful exercise but competition between teams, furnishes many hours for discussion and opportu­nities for constructive criticism by trained leaders. The boy or girl who is Interested In athletics finds security, and his energies and pent-up emotions have a safety valve.

"A member of a youth group with a responsibility toward that group will not allow himself to io'wer the standard of his clUb by comihUting acts of vandalisih. Many times his home security has been ups'et because his home la somewhat closed to him if one parent works by day and the. oth­er by night, so he looks for a fos­ter home in which he. can re-estab­lish that feeling of being wanted. There la always a place for hinj Rt the "Y ". He can’t carry the finan­cial responsibility entailed lit the maintenance of such a bulldlbg and that is why other members of the commiinlty must invest as much as they can possibly spare to safeguard these youths If their futures are to be worthwhile.

“Wholesome places for youth activities are essential to every community, or other types of

luuig-outs” wilf~ dollars will aventually support them aa indigents if you do not provide them with the opportuni­ties which they have need of dur­ing their formative years, and the eventual cost will exceed your contribution. Constructive invest­ments are much more satisfac­tory than additional taxes and they, too, are deductible from your income tax.

"In short, the Y. M. C. A. is needed by Manchester’s youth and the Board of Directors earnestly asks you to safeguard this youth center with a contribution.

"Signed"Ferris E. Reynolds.”

The Allies Choose ARainWashington rumor—and- It Is

German Civilians BitterTwo reports from inside’ Ger­

many—one not to be doubted, the Other not reliable—tell the same Btory, It is tfee story of the un­doubted efficiency of the Allied air attack upon Germany.

The report we can accept with­out much quesUoh is that of ex­changed American airmen, who tell how bitterly resentful toward them the German civilian popula­tion seemed to be.

From Swiss sources comes the aemewbat questionable report that Allied air raids, wo far, have Claimed 1,200,086 German civilian lives, made 6,953,000 Germans homeless.

Where the two reports come to­gether is in the fact that such loosea would explain the Intense, bittsmesa at German eivUiana to­ward ths Allied arm which hps Struck at them from the air.

What kind at toll would that be ^-Biora than a million German atvilian Uvea? It would, for one thing, be a toU many timea great- « r than anything Germany waa «ver abla to inflict upon Britain. Jlut, by a similar comparison, it tpmld ha in proportion to the

lalght and number at bomba the ihlWaB have dropped on Germany

'iM against the bombs Germany

not likely to be disproved—has it that the civil war now waging in Greece can largely be traced^ to the fact that American and Brit­ish diplomacy has cast its lot with the. royalist, dictatorial regime which existed in Greece before the war. That regime came into pow­er as the result of a dfttatorial coup, which overthrew ths Greek repubUe created after the World War. It was never popular with the Greeks, and seema no noore popular now.

Yet, although there are demo­cratic Greek leaders with whom we might have contact, and al­though the existing Greek cabinet in exile once unanimously decided that King George stfeuld not go back to Greece after this war un­til the people had beSh given the opportunity in % free plebescite, to decide whether they want him, AlUed diplomacy .eeema to have selected King George as its Greek chkmpion. Both President Roose­velt and Prime Minister Church­ill seem to have conferred their personal blessings upon him.

Thus, once again, AUied diplo­macy, confronted with a choice between a liberal and a reaction­ary.set of leadere for a conquered country, seems to have instinc­tively chosen the taactionary side of ihinga.

With this the situation, with democratic Greeks given no guar­antee that they will get their good chance to be choaSn to rule Greece following the war, they in­evitably take *^ourae to their own strength of organization and of arms. They are trying to stake out their claim in Greece itself.

Once again, of course, the Al­Ued choice o f King George la probably based on “expediency.”

And once again it is difficult to

Ship repair units—the SRU'a fix ^maged fighting, ships at ad­vanced Naval bases. Or they fol­low in the wak^ of attacking Task Forces, in fully equipped repair ships, to repair all but major dam­age on the spot and get ship and crew back into the fight at the earliest possible moment

With the war being fou|^t a long way from honfs, tha repair of ships is a tough problem for the Navy, it was pointed out by Commander Nelson. A badly dam­aged ship often cannot be towed 3,000 miles to the United States and American ahipa, aven when fighting vletorioua battles, suffer damage.

The Job of the men of the ship repair units is to keep them fixed and fighting.

icmseaioid fiqiiipmenl To Be Allowed Again

Government Working On Program Affecting Refrigerators, Wash­ing Machines.

Boltou CenterMn. R. K. Jones 8008, Manebester

By James Mariow and George ZIelke

Washington, Nov. I —(/PI—Uncle Sam Is making plana to help Mama with the wash and help Papa keep the beer cool.

The government Is working on a program to permit manufacture of mechanical refrigerators and washing machines again.

Production of both was halted after Pearl Harbor because of the war needs for the mfiterlals and facilities Used In mkkihg them.

Now the Office of Civilian Re­quirements has found in a national survey that both types of ma­chines are badly needed In Ameri­can homes.

Some official of OCR. which Is drawing up the program, gave as his "guess” that the machines would not appear on the. market before mld-1944.

OCR is part of the War Produc­tion Board. Its program will have to be approved by WPB’s Require­ments committee before It can be put into operation.

Since there are some "ifs” and "huts” involved, the plan is not yet shut-and-closed. Bxlt this is it in outline:

Right now there ia a demand for perhaps 5,000,000 mechanical re­frigerators and 4,000,000 washing machines. Only about 1,000,000 of each are caUed for In the program. Will Have to Fill Essential Needs

They wiU have to fUl, not de­mands by people with moi ey itch­ing to be spent, but essential needs. ,. ^

Prime factors to be considered: The amount of manpower, ma­terials and facilities which can be spared to do the job.

Depending upon them, the pro­gram for washing machines might have to be revised downward.

Meantime refrigerators and washing machines now in Ameri­can homes must be kept in use. OCn gives this picture on mainte­nance:

Enough Spare Parts AvailableThere are enough spare part.s

available to keep popular makes of refrigerators and washing ma­chines in operation.

The only bottleneck In maintain­ing present equipment is not lack of parts but lack of repairmen, many of whom have closed down their shops, gone Into war plants or into the armed services.

OCR has a program to assure miT.ufaettire of sufficient parts in the future, too.

And this was the picture given at OCR on kitchen enamelware;

The manufacture of enameled pots, pans, kettles, tea and coffee pots has been greatly stepped up; the increased production is now un'.’.er way; the result will appear on the store, shelves about Christ­mas time.

An official said:"We ha'Ve moved from an econ­

omy of scarcity In the material ■ whiclr' goes into kitchen enameH

W orld Temperance Sun­day Is (Reserved at the South Methodist.

World Temperance Sunday was observed at the services o f South Methodist church yesterday. The guest of the church was RSv. Wasrne W. Womer, executive sec­retary of the United Temperance Society of Connecticut. Mr. Womer spoke to the intermediate depart­ment of the Church School, took part In the morning service of wor­ship by reading the Scripture ahd making s few remarks about the recent work of the Temperance Society. In the evening he spoke to the Youth Fellowship on "What Is A Human Being?” and present­ed in the evening service a film sponsored by the Seventh Day Ad­ventists on "What the D^tora Have to Say About Alcohol.”

Is Same Old Problem . In hi* sermon Rev. W. Ralph Ward, Jr., pastor of the church, emphasized that In spite of changes In drinking habits and in thinking about drink, that liquor la the same old problem to the ^ li-

Itician, to the cltUnn of the com- I nrnnity ami to the Individual. It is |« problem aa deep aa life Itself and allows no simple solution. In two places, however, Mr. Ward said we could take hold of it. First in our individual decision regarding the use of liquor. “Before God and our conscience, ahd before aa many or as few persons <as care to, we can say, " I will refrain from any use whattoever of alcohol as a bev­erage.”

Treated Aa a DiseaseThe second place we can take

hold of the problem is that of throwing the weight of our influ­ence behind those matters which save the individual from bring entrapped by the habitual use of alcohol. Mr. Ward emphasized his belief that alcoholics come from two claitsss. First from those who have a phiysical predisposition to­wards its use; With these people It is a disease' and can be only treated as such;" ' ,

Society Is Also . Blamed ,A second and a ntuch larger

class of pepple drink to get away from life, urged Mr, Ward. Here he stressed a statement by .one who said, "We have conttnudUy pointed out the Inadequacy of re-' forming the drunkard and leaving the saloon unreformed.” I.-et us now have the couirage to point out the inadequacy of reforming the saloon and leaving the whole busi­ness-industrial order unreformed. Just as the saloon creates drunk­

ards, so our society creates the tensions without which the saloon could not exist.

Our task as Christian leaders is to create associations between young people where marriage- will lead to happiness in homes and mfike drinking a diversion' which nsvqr enters the scope of thought. O ur^ak is to create proper con­ditions in Industry so that men and women will hot want to stay home and get drunk thus hamper­ing the war effort, or any civilian effort by absenteeism. Our task is to create a waricss world so that youn^ men and womm will not have to face the temptation of try­ing to escape from the hardness and horror of wnF by turning to drink. Let the church take a hold of this problem to create ah wholesome, . pleasant and con­structive environment for youth and adults and, we will have cut the strongest tie between multi­tudes of individuals and the ten­dency toward dmnkenness."

German* Adm it Breach in Line*

London, Nov. 1.—(JF)— ’’FastSoviet units’’ have broken through German lines south of the lower Dnieper, the German high com­mand acknowledged today. The broadcast communique asserted, however, that flank attacks by German mobile units Inflicted se­vere losses upon the Russians, while German coimter-attacks made good progress In the Dnie­per bend..

A German communique, broad­cast by Berlin yesterday, said that “our counter-attacks north of Krivoi Rog are making good progress in spite of enemy resist­ance.”, The Germans claimed that the Russians had lost more than 400 tanks on the eastern front during the last three days, while Moscow said fhe Red Army destroyed 92 Nazi tanks In Saturday’s fighting and brought down 23 planes. Most of these Ibsses apparently were suffered. In the Krlvol Rog battle.

More Cooperation Pledge by Powers; China Signs Pact(Continued from Page One)

document stressed unity of action and consultation between powers with a common enemy (Russia is not at war with Japan) until un­conditional s u r r e n d e r was achieved.

In a joint communique, the Tri­partite conference agreed to es­tablish an American - British - Ruaatan "European Advisory com­mission” lii London to examine European questions arising as the war developed.

To Set Up Advlaory ConnellThe foreign ministers also de­

cided to set up an advisory, coun­cil on Italy with representatives from the French committee, Yu­goslavia and Greece.

The council on Italy will deal w|th day to day questions other than military preparations and make recommendations designed to coordinate Allied policy ■ with regard to Italy. •

The three foreign ministers also said that military experts at ths conference discussed definite op­erations already decided and now being prepared ‘‘to create a basis for the closest military coopera­tion in the future between the three countries.”

Other questions besides current problems taken up at the confer­ence, the . communique said, con­cerned treatment of Hitlerita Ger­many and Its satelites, economic cooperation and assurance of gen­eral peace. , .

"Frank and exhaustive discus-* sions o f the measures to be taken to shorten the war against Ger­many and her satelites in Europe” also took Place, the cornmunique declared.

Four-Power DeclarationIn the four-power declaration to

which China adhered, the nations /aid:

1 . That their united action, pledged for the prosecution of the war against their respective ene­mies, will be continued for the or­ganization and maintenaAce o f peace and security.

2. ' That those of them at war with a-common enemy will act to­gether In all matters relating to the surrender and disarmament of that enemy.

3. That they will take all meas­ures deemed 1^ them to be neces­sary to provide against any viola­tion of the term* Imposed upon thei enemy.

4. That they rocognisa the necessity m astabUshing at »the

international organization, based on the principle of the sovereign equality of all peace-loving states, and open to membership by all such states, large and small, for the maintenance of International peace and security.

5. That for the purpose of maintaining international peace and security pending the reestab­lishment of law and order and the Inauguration of a system of gen­eral security, they will consult with one another and as occasion re­quires with other member* of the United Nations with a view to joint action on behalf of the community of nations.

Limitation On Military Forres6. That after the termination

of hostilities they will not employ their military forces within the ter­ritories of other states except for the purposes envisaged in this declaration and after joint consul­tation.

7. That they will confer and co- operat, with one another and with otheV members of the United Na­tions to bring about a practicable general agreement with respect to the regulation of armaments in the post-war period.

(%ina did not participate In the other declarations, dealing with the European war. They, were:

1. President Roo*evelt, Prime Minister CTiurchlll and Premier Stalin promised that those German officers and men, and members of the Nazi party, who have been guilty of atrocities—either direcUy or by consent—will b* taken back to the scene of their crimes after the war and there tried according to the laws of the country concern­ed.

Agree on Policy Toward Italy2. Britain, Russia and the United

States agreed on Allied policy to­ward Italy, based on a determina­tion to wipe put Fascist influence and to give the Italian people "every opportunity to establish governmental and other Insttt.u- tlons based upon democratic prin­ciples.”

3. The three also declared that "Austria, first free country to fall Victim Vo Hitlerite aggression, shall be liberated from Clerman domination.”

The Joint four-power declaration obviously left the way, open • for Russia to remain neutral as far as Japan is concerned, but provided a guarantee that neither Russia nor the western Allies would sign .a separate peace or take other sepante action against their joint enemies. “

While recognizing the “necessity <rf establishing at the earliest prac­ticable (late a general internaUonal organization,” the four powers did not attempt to specify the nature of that organlution beyond the well-knowm American policy of in­sisting upon equality of sovereign­ty o f all peace-loving states, wdth membership open to all such states, large and small.

Regulation of armaments . after the war was left to mch a time as the United Nations “will confer with one another . . . to bring aboflt a practicable general agree­ment."

Regard AasiOlUiiae VoidIn their declaration on Austria,'

the three powers said they regard­ed the anschlusa with Germany as null and void and considered them­selves In no way bound by any changes In Austria since then.

The future of the Balkans, may be affected by the next clause;

"They declare that they wish to see rs-e*tahllshed a free and in­

dependent Austria and thereby to open the way for the Austrian peo­ple themselves as well as those neighboring states which will be faced with similar problems, to find that political and economic security which is the only basis for lasting peace.”

Then a warning, and an invita­tion to all Germany's satellitei.:

"Austria is reminded, however, that she has a responsibility, which she cannot evade, for par­ticipation in the war at the qideof Hitlerite Germany, and that in the final settlement account will inevitably be taken of her own contribution to her liberation.”

In their joint statement on It­aly, Hull, Eden and Molotov de­clared that the three governments had been agreed from the "incep­tion of the invasion of Italian ter­ritory" that, insofar as military operations permitted, their actions would b* based upon the princi­ples of destroying Fascist influ­ence and giving the Italian people a chance to set up their own demo­cratic institutions.

"In furtherance of this policy," the. three governments • agreed tijat the follovying “should be put into effect” ;

Must Include Fascism Foea1. It is necessary to include in

a "more democratic” Italian gov­ernment, representatives of those sections of the Italian people who have always opposed Fascism.

2. Freedom to establish anti- Fascist political groups shall ac­company freedom of speech, reli­gion. politics,, press and public meetings.

3. •Suppression of all Fascist- created Institutions and organiza­tions.

4. {Removal o f all Fascist and pro-Fascist elements from public institutions and organizations.

5. All political prisoners of the Fascist regime shall be released and accorded full amnesty.' 6. Democratic organs of local

government shall be created.7. Fascist chiefs and Army

generals, known or suspected .to be far criminals, shall be arreat- •d and handed over to justice.

The signers' provided for joint consultation on 'these matters' at the request of any one, with the understanding that "nothing In this resolution is to operate against the right of ,the Italian prople ultimately to choose thete own form of government.” Evidence Received of Atroeltie*

The Roosevelt-Churchlll-Stalln statement on retribution for Ger­man atrocitiea said that such Gee- man behavior was ‘'no new thing” and that evidence bad bean re­ceived from many quarters of "atrocities, massacres and cold­blooded execution* which are be­ing perpetrated by Hitlerite forces. In many of the countries they have ovem/i land from which they are being steadily expelled.”

"What is new,” continued the Joint statement, "is that many of these territories are now being re­deemed by the advancing Armies of the liberating powers and that in their desperation, the recoiling Hitlerites and Huns are redoubling their ruthless crueltiea.

“This is now evidenced with i>ar- ticular clearness by monstrous crimes on the territory of the So-' iriet union which is being liberated from Hitlerites, and on French and Italian territory. . . .

bers of the Nazi party who have been reaponsible for or have taken a consenting part In the above atrocities, massacres and execu­tions will be sent back to the coun­tries in which their abominable deeds were done in order that they may be judged and punished ac­cording to the laws of these liber­ated countries and of the free gov­ernments which will be erected therein.

"Lists will be compiled in all possible detail from all these'coun^ tries, having regard especially to invaded parts of the Soviet union, to Poland and Czechoslovakia, to Yugoslavia and Greece, including Crete and other islands, to Norway, Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France and Italy.”

The statement warned those not already guilty to bew’are lest they join the doomed ranks. ■ ■

seats In the Senate and 45 in the House, and three governors— if ter made four by a death—after the 1942 elections, make their most confident claim of victory In, con­nection with the governorship race In New Jersey. They also feel fairly comfortable about the other

state contests, with the Kentucky governorship their only admitted doubt, although state leaders are optimistic about the latter.

The usual pre-election confidence also issues from the Democratic prmcipals. Their best bet, they say, is Kentucky.

Here are the main contests In the seven states;

New York — State Senator Joe R. Hanley, 67, Republican, oppos­ing Lieut. Gen. William N. Haskell, 65. retired. Democrat and Ameri­can Labor party, for lieutenant governor, a post vacated by the death of Thomas W. Wallace, Re­publican.

All Factions Support HaskellAll Democratic tZetions are sup­

porting Haskell, a rare develop­ment in recent New York elections. They Include President Roosevelt, Alfred E. Smith, James A. Farley. Edward J. Flynn, find Tammany Chief Michael J. Kennedy.

Governor Dewey and Wendell L. Willkle have spoken for Hanley.

A Republican victory would be seen by some as adding strength to a move to draft Dewey for the presidential nomination despite the governot’s disavowal of any ambi­tions to that end.

In an election to fill a House vacancy In the 32nd district, nor­mally ^publican, created by the death of Rep. Francis D. Culkin, Hadwen C. Fuller Is the Republi­can candidate. He is opposed by Norman F. Ward, Democrat.

Cadets Ready • For Irish At N.Y . Saturday

Notre Dame Without It* Ace Bertelli JVI i g h t Have Plenty Trouble Stopping West Point.

By Ted MeierNew York, Nov. 1—• (J")— Notre

Dsme va. Army—regarded as the game of the year—headlines this week's college football program as the season swings Into November, traditionally a month for upsets.

Although the unbeaten and un­tied Irish—proclaimed the best team In the country—will be minus Angelo Bertelli. their nifty for­ward passer, and the. cadeta lost a degree of prestige In being tied by Pennsylvania, the game will unfold before a capacity 76,000 crowd at the Yankee Stadium. It was sold out weeks ago. —

Another sellout crowd of tome 72,000 Is expected at Franklin Field In Philadelphia where Navy, crushed by Notre Dame, seeks to rebound against Penn. This game ranks second billing for the week. It lacks only the lure of Notre Dame and the possibility that the Irish may lose In a sensational up­set.

ITpiiet PossibleWhile few'expect the cadets to

shfetter the Irish hopes for a per­fect seasoh it la welt to remember that the cadets ‘should benefit from their unexpected 13-13 deadlock with Penn. There la no doubt the West Pointers will be up for the game and it remains to be seen how the Irish will react under pres­sure without Bertelli. Johnny Lu- jack has been groomed to step Into BertelU’B shoes, but can he dupli­cate the feat of completing 168 of 323 aerials under stress?

In any event It seems that It Is how or never for Army. The Cadets have not even scored on a Frank Leahy-coached Notre Dame eleven. In fact they have not licked the Irish since 1931 when a 60-yard run by Ray Stecker in the last

So, while the young lady who won the State ch^plonshtp at the age of 12 and her first national crown eight years later, confines her driving to Army reservations instead of fairways, she’s thinking of worlds to conquer when the last gun of the war Is fired.

Nineteen hundred and thirty- one and 1943, that's a long time between Connecticut football cap­tains at ITale; too long. In fact, if it wasn’t for the war, it might have been even longer.

Ordered to Yale, Scua reported to Coach Odell In mid-July, and hia speed' caught Howie’s eyes oh the first day. He was (and is) the fastest man on the squad.

But before opening game with Muhlenberg, Sept. 11, Odell de­scribed him as the apeediesi play­er in a Yale football suit since Clint Frank, the Eli’s All-America ace In the late thirties, and How­ie’s appraisal, -which went all over the country, raised eye-brows. As usual Odell knew hia subject.

Shortly after the story appear­ed, the Scooter halted your envoy, and stammered:

"Gosh, 1 aure appreciate what you wrote, but I'm taking an qw- ful kidding from some friends of mine who have flooded me with clippings, and demanding to know what’s happened to me. Go easy next time, will you? I couldn’t have carried Frank’s shocs,!l_„.

Actually, cut Franks are tremely rare, but even so, Scui is being modest. /

As for shoes, the Scooter cred­its a pair of Old Oxfords Aor hls dazzling performance against Army recently. Including a 73< yard run which put h i^ in the na­tional headlines. They’re the mer cury-hoppers he useo to wear up at the ’University / f Connecticut.

Lleut.-Col. Earl Blatk, .the Army coach, waa inclined, to agree. / "Everywhere I looked,” he re­marked ruefully, "there was Odell."

Bob playejF 59 minutes and scored the Xving touchdown by snatching Joe Michaels’ pass from the hands of two Army defenders and outrunning them to tha goal line, a total gain of 71 yards.

But it was. his defensive work that kept him in the limelight, though playing safety, Od<-'l was in on more than half of toe tackles. And most of the corpp of writers in the press box agreed that hls tackling saved at least three Army touchdowns.

It • stood out especially on Army’s first score when George Maxon came bolting through a big hole at tackle. The play start­ed on toe Penn four, and Odell met him head-on at toe three so hard that toe ball squirted from toe Ca­det’s hands.

Odell not only stopped Maxon but drove him backward into. Ted Rosenthal, Penn end nearest the play, BO hard that Rosenthal was unable to get to the ball before Army's Tom Lombardo dived on It In toe end zone for the touch down.

Only one player may be taken from each minor league team un­less a club consents to imreatricte:} draft. Utoially from 20 to 25 play­ers are drafted.

The clubs make selections qt( the basis of how they flnished^n toe leagues. Thus, the world wynplon Yankees will get second' to last choice and the St. Loute. Cardinals will get the last.

her per-

roiitlne typing, she didn’t Perhaps she hadn’t

worked fast enough, though she felt like a speed demon alongside Mrs. Fenton. The reports she typed all looked innocuous enough. But maybe she’d made a mistake In one of them that was Irreparable. She had to know right away.

"Sure, go ahead," said. ■ Miss Lyons distractedly^ "The boss is on the rampage this morning, so I’ve got to hot-foot it in there an # be a witnesa while he tella the B .. E. W. boya off. If you don’t aee me when you get back, pick me up at the police station. They’ll probably have their sti­lettos out before the .session Is over.''. " I ’ll be back as soon as I can,"

promised Sally, hurrying away. Riding the escalator down to the first floor, she stopped worrying about her future with the War Commission long enough to won­der If she’d ever meet the man she worked for. Except for Miss Lyons' cryptic and not altogether flattering comments on the strangeness of Mr. Farnsworth’s ways, she hadn’t the faintest Idea what the aaslatant director looked like—or for that matter, what he did. According to Miss Lyons. Mr. Farnsworth was indispensable

■ to the copper division—or thought he was.

Mr. Chase was bifsy. and Sally had to wait. She took off her

'scarf; wishing afie’d worn a hat to work todaS'. She felt more like a achodi girl than a war work­er on her oiVn In Washington. But o n l / an elegant few of the government girls bothered to wear hau; The secretary to one of K ^ o n ’s assistants looked like a

>ialklng specialty shop, but she ' was a shining exception. Ankle

socks, white saddle shoes, and peasant scarves were < almost a uniform with the government girts. And shirts and skirts. Sally didn’t usually bother about her clothes, except to keep them clean, but today she wished' she looked, a little snappier.

At last she was altting at Mr. Chase’s desk. "Don’t look so alarmod, Mias Thayer,” he said at ones. "Did my note disturb you 7”

Sally said frankly, ‘" I ’ve been scared to death since 1 read iL Mr. Chase."

"Well, you needn’t be." He swiveled around In his chair. "How would you like a good job ?”

Sally stared at him. "What do you mean?”

“That job you have isn’t worth two cents. I’ve got a better one in mind for you, that you can really get your teeth In. More work, by a darned hight. but you’ll be right In the thick of it If you work for this man.

“Langhome is coming down Monday from New York. He’s been hired to do a special job He’s a construction engineer, aiid he’s going to straighten out some of the botUenecka In the syn­thetic rubber building program. He’ll probably Ungle with a lot o f high and mightles before he’s through, .because the rubber pro­gram crosscuts Into so many others—like the high octaine gas- elins program. Ought to ho plenty of fireworks, ia a hard hitter.

“ Hs’U do a lot of traveling too. Inspection trips aroimd'ths coun­try, visits to synthetic plants. It will bs up to you to hoM the fort While he’s gone—and, .placate all

‘ the people he ma)tiM maa\ How does that sound?”

“Wondsrful. It’s just too' to be trus. But do you think I ’ve had enough skpsrtsacs, Chase?"

"Y ou ll need more common sense than anything else. Of course you’ve got to be efficlenL hut 1 thilik you are*-though you haven’t had a chance to show it yet. You’re friendly— people like you.” He smiled at her. "I've been checking up on you.”

Sally was startled—and pleased. Mr. Chase bad evidently had his eye on' her for this new job for some time—til the'while she was batting out that deadly Mven toplea and and original.

•’’Inotdffltatly, there’s more money in IL Think you .can find a way to spend 1,880?"^^

Chase." Sally felt as though she were walking on air. She went out ot Temporary U light-headed with excitement, remembering a different kind of excitement she’d felt a few weeks ago when she walked nervously down the aisle to' Mr. Chase’s desk. Only a few short weeks, but how much had happened. And now had come the chance'she had dreamed of when she sat in the employment recep­tion room, a chance at a real job.

Back In her btilldlng, she was tempted to tell Miss Lyons her good news. But Instinct told her to be cautious. It would be better to wait till her new boss really arrived and was on the spot for the duration. There was the famous story of the executive who wa.s asked by the War Commis- aion to take a job in Washington He wound up hts affairs in a hur­ry and ru^ed down;, only to find when. he. Itrived that no one. r«- 'mcnibered anything abmit him—or knew what to do with him. Mr. Langhome would have to be an actuality before Sally spread the news in the office.

At his desk Mr. Chase eyed the new job classification for Sally Thayer. .Miss Lyons would be plenty sore at him for snatching her stenographer away from her, after a few short weeks, but Sally Thayer deserved better than she had received to date. Probably plenty of other girls did too, but Sally’s enthusiasm, her aliveness. had starred her in Mr. Chassis memory. He’d been on the look­out for a good spot for her and now it had eopne along.

To be eontlniied

A man was Interested In buy­ing s new car, and after looking over all the jiest buys of the deal­er (who was an old friend), h$ asked If he could take* one to show to hts wife. '

The dealer knew it would be a cash sale, ao he gave his friend permission.. . .80. leaving his old car, he drovie away In the newer model, and when he didn’t return before closing hours, the dealer be­came worried.

Days went b y . . . . the dealerdidn’t report the missing car but was just on the verge of doing so when in wklked his old friend and laid the money for the newer^car on his desk.

Dealer—Where In the world have you been?'You took that car out of here two weeks ago ahd when I called you on the telephone no one answered. I’ve called you every day. To tell you the truth, I was just about to report the Inci­

dent to th e^ llca .Man— Why. BUI. You said I

could take the car and show it to my wife. I distinctly remember you saying It wo'uld be O. K.—I thought you knew she was visiting her folks out In Los Angeles.. . . she’s been there for the past two months.

Joint Service Well Attended

Conrordia anri Email* uol Churches Unile; Sermon on Lullier.Rpv. Edmund A. StPimle, student

service pastor of the University Lutheran Association of Gieater Boston, guest speaker at the Joint Reformation service last evening of the Conrordis I,iitheran snd Emanuel I.utheian church at the latter church, gave an appropriate and enliglitenlng address, s resume of which Is given below;

"The question is being raised: WTiat has Lutheranism to offer to the world of today? This la a question which was raised by Lu­ther with respect to the Pre-Refor­mation Church~and the answers he found resulted in the whole movement of Protestantism. The anniversary of the founding of Luther’s Church is an appropriate time to ask the same-question of Lutheranism today. ,

"The answer Is tq be found in two distinct contributions which the Spirit of Luther haa made and can make to eveiy age: the conaer- vaUve spirit and the prophetic spirit.

Conservative Spirit"The conservative ’contributions

are to be found in Luther’s con­stant effort to preserve that which is good in the past, the while he boldly and ruthlessly cast out all that he considered mischievous and wrong. This conservative spirit can make a great contribution to the world of today—a world of change and upheaval, a' world of revolution and war—for it can work out an unchanging rock to which storm-tossed humanity can cling; the abiding love of God as revealed In Christ. Lutheranism at its conservative best has held fast to its faith In that funda­mental' faith, though waves of ra­tionalism, materialism and unwar­ranted optimism have attempted in succeeding ages to sweep it away.

tVas True Proph^“ Unfbrtunateiy Luther's spirit

of conservatism has not atvvaya been applied to fundamentals. Often it has resulted in a blind con-

kervatiam that' worked itself out Into a blind reactionary spirit— but that was not the result of an accurate reflection of Luther'a spirit, for, in addition to Luther’s conservative spirit, there was an­other major contribution from the spirit of this man: his prophetic spirit. Luther was more than merely conservative; more than just a reformer—he w.aa 'a true prophet. He not only conserved the good In the old and threw a\yay the worthless in the old. but he' also gave a substitute for that which he waa taking away.

"This prophetic spirit—dlacern- ing the truth in every agt , haa marked and will mark the theme which arrurately "reflects the whole spirit of Luthe)-. A church which carries the markd of his prophetic spirit will not only fol­low the trail he has blazed as far as it goes but when the trail ends, it will keep right on in the same direction.

"A -church which reflects his spirit will conserve that which is gbod in the past which cannot be shaken: taking a man in whatever state we And him and raising him

through faith in Christ to be t true son of God, and then applying thi6 Gospel o f Salvation in the vigorous* and fearlesa apirlt of toe prophet to, every aspect of the world in which we live; home, street, shop, office, schoolr Such a church will not only conquer the world in the world. It will'not only be a truly "Luther” church but far more—it will be a true church of Christ."

Combined Choirs Sing The organ and vo^al music by

the combined choirs of Emanuel, under the direction of G. Albert Pcaraon, and Concordia, Fred E.

Werner, organist, waa Inspiring and unusually fine. The antbams were "O Rejoice Ye Christiana Loudly,” Bach; Prayer o f Thanks­giving, Kremser; "Now, Let Every Tongue,” Bach, and "Benediction;” Liitkins.The congregational hymns were sung with spirit, particularly hymn ,566 for those in their coun­try’s service. Rev. T. A. Gustaf­son, pastor of Emanuel, and Rev. Karl Richter, o f .Concordia Luth­eran, a.ssisted in the program.

The offering received from the large audience will be devoted to Lutheran world action.

London, Nov. 2.—(A*)— The Germans asserted today that Russian forces had landed in the eastern Crimea north and south of Kerch. Moscow dis­patches declared other Red troops were compressing the Nazib into the peninsular death trap with a fresh ad­vance from toe sealed northern entrance. "Thb Germans Immedi­ately started a counter-attack which annihilated the main part of • the Bolsheviks who had landed and compressed toe remainder on a narrow space Immediately near the coast,” a DNB dispatch broad­cast by Berlin said of the Kerch landings.

Moscow advices said the Fourth Ukrainian Army of Gen. Feodor Tolbukhln had moved deep Into the Crimea beyond captured Ar- myanak against growing German counter-attacks. All land exits from the peninsula, the "Florida of RuMia,” were cut off with the capture of Kerekop yesterday.

Tolbukhln was declared pushing tanka, armored cars, Cossack cav­alry and armed motorcycles swift­ly into the prized Crimea.

Warning Given On Milk Tax

Denver City Council Ig' nores OPA in Passing Excise Lew on Fluid.Denver, NoV. 2— Ignoring

- a blunt warning from Office of Price Administration officials, toe Denver City Council last night passed a 'two-cents-per-quart -eX' else tax on fluid' mUk—to give producers higher prices, and averi a threatened milk shortage.

Dairymen had announced that if toe ordinance' did not pass the city’s milk supply would be shut off t6<fay. They said they could not operate under OPA price ceilings and must have belief. Deliveries to distributors in Colorado Springs and five Denver suburbs a li^ d y had ceased, i

The measure, which goes to Mayor Stapleton for his signature, provides that the tax will be col­lected by retailers and then dis­tributed among producers.

To Take “ Appropriate” ActionClem W. Collins, regional OPA

administrator, had written Mayor 'Stapleton that his office would take "appropriate” action, should the ordinance Increase retail milk prices.

In S' state proclamation last night. Gov. John C. Vivian (D.) said he had ordered the situation investigated, and called upon pro­ducers to cooperate in supplying milk as a "paUiotic duty.” ^ r lie r he had threatened to order "a fair price.”

Collins said toe OPA would take one of three atepe if the Denver ordinance lifts milk coats above appixn’od ceilings: Seek an Injunc­tion order, file’ criminal charges, or order a roll-hack of milk prices.

Moscow Pact . Seen Big Blow To Nazi Hopes

Unequivocal Allied Uni* ty Now Confronts Hit* ler Rule; Berlin Radio Quotes From . British.

Washington, N o v , / f— (/Pi— The sweeping Moscow-’Agreement was viewed here today as toe greatest single blow to German hopes at victory that the war has produced.

Unequivocal Allied unity in war and after the war—now con­fronts a beleaguered Nazi regime which recently has placed all its chips on prolonging the conflict by dividing toe Allies against themselves.

Reply Seems To Be ClearThe reply from Moscow seems

to be clear. There is no division, and it is the sense of the four- power conference that there shall be none.

Secretary of State Hull. Foreign Minister Anthony Eden and For­eign Commissar Vyacheslav Molo­tov, aaid the Joint communique, had military experts along Who discussed definite operations "al­ready decided upon and now be­ing prepared” to create a ba.sis for the closest military cooperation in the future among Britain, Russia and the United States.

'The announcement, made simul­taneously in' Moscow, London and Washington, apparently burst upon the Nazis before they could prepare ready-made propaganda counter-blasts.

In a silence which appeared paralytic, the Nazi radio said nothing of the momentous Moscow' decisions for several hours except to quote straight from British broadcasts.Military Unilrnttanding Incidental

' It was conjectured here that military understandings reached at the conference were incidental to the political agreements. Gains in the military field appeared to reside in a better Russian under­standing of Allied supply prob­lems and a more closely meshed overall Allied strategy from now on.

While the conference Is regarded as likely to hasten the end of the war by confronting the Germans with a wall of Allied unity and by stirring up rebellion against the Nazis all over Europe, the four- ^ w e r Joint declaration in which China Joined ia considered here to be the historic mile.stone for which the meeting will be remembered the longest.

Berlin Fears • Added Raids

Daylight Bombings hy Americans From Rus­sian Bases Sieen Peril,

London, Nov. 2.—(d>>—While the German radio asserted today that ■’no military agreement has been concluded in Moscow,” Spanish correspondents Ir Berlin said a fear was manifest in the Nazi capital that one result' o f the three-power confetence ‘ might bring American ddylight bomb-

WashljiKton.'Nov. 2. i/Pj--^iena- tor Tunnell (D-DetJ urged the Senate today to adopt without amendment the Connally resolu­tion pledging United States co­operation in maintaining world peace, declaring that a detailed formula prepared at this stage of the conflict might later prove “ more embarrassing than helpful.

"The probability that any human being, or any collection of human beings, could at this stage prepare a treaty of peace that wo.uld in­clude all of a plan which would be appropriate at the end of the war fS extremely unlikely." he stated.

Tunnell said he had examined the four-power declaraUon an­nounced yesterday at Moscow and remarked;

No Conflict In Spirit"I find nothing that in any way

conflicts with the spirit of the resolution we aVe considering. I don’t believe the Senate should .simply endorse the Moscow con­ference and its conclu.slona, and drop its own resolution.”
