DEFENSE COUNCIL FAvORS ADOPTION
 OF DAYLIGHT LAW

Hartford, Oct. 30-The adoption of daylight-saving time each summer as the fixed policy of the United States is urged by the Connecticut State Council of Defense in a. resolution passed by the Council. The text of the resolution follows:
 ''Voted that, in the opinion of this Council, the daylight saving plan which has been in operation during the past seven months has not only resulted in a very considerable saving of fuel but in several other respects has been of distinct material benefit and has added to the pleasure and weIl-being of the community at large in that the extension of the amount of available daylight after working hours has afforded opportunities for outdoor exercise and enjoyment. This Council further believes that it would be wise to adopt the daylight saving plan as an established method of time keeping and that the period during which the clocks of the country should be advanced one hour should extend from the first Sunday of April until the first Sunday of November each year.

 STEAMSHIP TRADE

New York, Oct. 3O.---The city au- thorities today announced steps would be taken to avert the loss to this port of the business of 25 steamship com panies whose vessels, coastwise and transatlantic, dock here. Murray Hulbert, dock commissioner, stated that the companies would seek ac- commodations at Philadelphia, Bps- ton. Baltimore, Norfolk and other At lantic ports unless increased docking facilities could be assured at New

SEED POTATOES
 FOR CONNECTICUT TO BE THE BEST

Watson S. Woodruff of Orange, has pointed out to the Food Department of the State Council of Defense that to increase Connecticut's potato crop next year involves three important steps in the seed potato situation. In the first place MT. Woodruff says small farmers, victory gardeners, and other planters who are presumably not expert potato growers should be urged to stick to standard varieties such as the Irish CobbIer for an early crop and Green Mountains for a. late crop. The point is that small oper- ment with new and untried varie- ties; the operation is too expensive and too uncertain.
 More important still is the ques- ton of bringing into the state only first class seed. It is believed, how ever, that this can be accomplished by the cooperation of seed potato dealer who will be urged to demand from Maine growers seed potataoes that conform to the United States grade No. 1, which means that such potatoes are virtually guaranteed true to variety, free from disease, and of suitable size for planting. Of course the public will appreciate the fact that seed potatoes of this quality are l worth more than table stock, but good ! seed are so important a factor in the ! production of a crop that no one will hesitate to pay a little premium for first class seed.

HURLEY CANCELS
 $6O,OOO,OOO JOB
Shipping Board Chief With draws Contract From
 California Yard.

Washington, Oct. SO.---A sixty mill lion dollar contract awarded to the Bethlehem Union shipyards of the Bethlehem Steel Company at Ala meda, Cal, has been cancelled by Chairman Hurley of the Shipping Board.
 Work on the new shipways at this yard for the building of a number of F, 900 ton troop transports has been stopped, and the extension propect will be abandoned so far as the Ship ping Board is concerned.
 Action was taken by Chairman Hur- ley as part of the program of concen- trating shipbuilding efforts in exist | ing yards. There will be no further extension of shipbuilling facilities, with the possible exception of the construction of additional concrete yards or ways. On the other hand a general program of concentration and elimination is being worked out under which Shipping Board support for 15 or more of the least efficient wood yards and several of the steel yards is to be withdrawn.
 Expansion of the Bethlehem-Uni yard was decided upon last spring when an increase in the number of transports was deemed necessary. Since then double deck cargo carriers and other larger ships have been COT verted into transports and production has been brought to such a point that expansion of facilities was deemed by Chairman Hurley and his advisers as not necessary. The Shipping Board I111 and nearing completion sufficient to meet all demands for troop movement on the 80 division plan, which con templates the placing of over 100000
 men in France by June of next year.
 As a result it was determined to cancel the enlargement of the yard at Alameda in the face of the general cutting down of ship facilities
 Launchings from the new ways there would not commence for many
 months, 1t was stated yesterday, and the force at the yard would have tC
 be divided, which would hurt the higl
 efficiency that has obtained.
 Though the Alameda yard is owned by the Bethlehem company it can be ; positively stated that Charles NJ,
 Schwab. who came to the Emergency
 Fleet Corporation from the Bethlehem , company, was in accord with Chair
 man Hurley's action in this particular and with the general program of re l striction on the building of new ia
 ciIities.
 There are now 1O4 shipways in th } United States capable of building biy 2 steel ships of the transport type, art | successive studies and inventorie 5 show, it is stated, that existing ship building facilities are if anythin! more than ample. Despite these fact t strong pressure was brought to bea
 on Chairman Hurley against the can
