them in an England bound vessel
One of the arnbulances, en- route to
New York to await shipment, Is
taking a circuitous route from
Detroit. It will arrive in New York
Aug. 26, after having visited about
80 different cities.
At each stopping point, sympa-
thizers are being asked to con-
tribute. Dimes may be dropped into
a slot improvised on the rear door
of the ambulance, but in most cas-
es, the contributions are larger.
From six to IL local girls, often de-
butanteS dressed in nurses uni
forms, accompany the ambulance
through each city. They carry col
lection baskets.
Driving the vehicle from Detroit
to New York is Terrell Van 1ngen,
Of Greenwich, Conn.,, vice president
of the Ambulance Corps and a
stretcher bearer with the A. E. F.
in World War I.
Each ambulance costs $3.50. OF
this amount, $1O50 is for the We
hicle itself and $500 for mainten-
ance after it reaches England. All
of the money collected goes to pro-
vide ambulances. Necessary oper-
ating expenses for the Ambulance
Corps are supplied by Buxton him
self. ...e
The first 100 ambulances have
been set aside for the British Red
Cross. The next 60 will go to the
Mechanical Transport Corps OF
Great Britain.

REGISTRATION OF
ALIENS EXPLAINED
p. M. Rankin OF Hartford
Discusses Subject On
Radio

The meaning and terms Of the
alien registration act Of 1910 were
explained Tuesday evening by Will
liam J. Rankin, postmaster at Hart
ford. in a broadcast Of the United
States Government Reports" weekly
series over radio station WNBC pre-
senting the federal government
agencies.
Under the act, non-citizens resid-
ing in the United States must regis
ter and be fingerprinted at post
Offices throughout the country dur
ing the period August a, through
December rs, 1910.
Postmaster Rankin said the most
reliable estimates available placed
the number of aliens in this country
at $500, 900. Failure to register makes
an alien liable to a fine Of 81 900 and
six months in prison.
Questions which must be answered
by the non-citizen at the time of
registration include the length OF
time he has been in this country
and how long he expects to stay;
method Of transportation he used to
get here; description of any military
or naval service he has had; and the
names Of any organizations, clubs
or societies in which he participates
or holds memberships, along with a
description Of his activities in such
groups.
Replying to criticisms Of the law,
Postmaster Rankin declared that he
believed most aliens would register
as a patriotic duty knowing that
by protecting their adopted home
land they are protecting themselves.
their families, and their jobs"

PkRENTS SET
HEALTH BASIS
ChiIdren's Well B eng
Starts Even Before They
Are Born

The foundation for the health Of
children is laid before they are born.
stated Doctor Martha I. Clifford,
Director Of the Bureau Of Child
Hygiene in the weekly broadcast Of
the State Department Of Health.
Under the title 'You Owe Health
to Your Children" she placed the
squarely on the shoul-
ders Of parents by reminding them
that they should set good examples
to children In the matter Of eating
the healthful foods, maintaining
good posture and general rules Of
health.
Doctor Clifford emphasized the
need for frequent and thorough
health examinations of children, re-
minding parents that the outward
appearance of a child no matter
how well dressed he appears to be is
no indication that his general ply
sique lives UP to his clothes. Pro-
lection against those diseases for
which preventive Is available, par
ticularly diphtheria and smallpox
forms a safeguard to health. One Of
the best assurances Of good health
for their child is for each couple to
have a physical examination before
marriage. It Is no kindness to the
parents nor to the children to ig-
more the possibilities Of Ill health
since their causes can be determined
through medical examination.
One of the fundamental require
ments for giving birth to q well-de-
veloped baby is for an expectant
mother to, have an adequate diet
during her pregnancy. With instruc-
ton and advice from her physician
and with information on nutrition
which is available, every mother
should be able to select for herself
the foods needed while she is carry
ing a baby. OF equal importance
with food in the promotion Of
health Is the need for proper excer-
else and a definite amount Of rest
for each individual. Parents as well
as children need balanced pro-
gram of activity and rest.
Children may suffer not only from
schedule which lacks proper food,
rest, exercise and protection
against disease but also from the
poor example which their parents
set for them. Individual problems
of each child require study and per-
sonal guidance.

WILLKIE TALKS
ABOUT TAMMANY

Rushville, Ind, Aug. 21-(UP)-
Wendell L. Willkie, Republican pres
idential candidate, said today there
should be little doubt anywhere in
the country that he once was DEM
ocrat, but he denied again that he is
or ever had been a member of the
New York Tammany Hall.
He repeated the denied after Ed
ward Flynn, Democratic national
chairman, had charged yesterday
that WILKES avowal of non-mem-
bership was a plain and simple
falSehood."
He said that he and Mrs. WilIkie
had run for Democratic county COM
mittee posts in New York in 1885 on
the same ticket with former Demo-
cratic Chairman James A. Farley and
Frank c. Walker, associate of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. He said they had
ben elected but did not consider
themselves as becoming members of
Tammany.

YOUNG WOMAN IS
BEATEN T0DEATH

New York, Aug. 21-(UP)-The
beaten and partially burned body of
10 year old Frieda Olsen, who had
been missing from her home since
Monday night, was found in a clump
of weeds on lonely Dyker beach in
Brooklyn today.
Police believed the girl, pretty and
attractively dressed, had been GRIM
inally assaulted before she was
killed. Her slayer had smashed the
girls skull and then, presumably in
an attempt to prevent Identification,
set fire to her hair and clothing.
Two boys discovered the body while
roaming along the beach and called
policeman. Investigators believed
Miss Olsen had been dead several
hours and Immediately began a
search of nearby roadways on the
theory that she may have been slain
elsewhere and dragged to the weed
patch.

CANADIAN, U. S.
POLICE UNITED
Will Coordinate To Stamp
Out Espionage Activi-
ties In Both Nations

Washington, Aug. 21-(UP)-Jus-
tice department officials expected
that coordination of counter-es-
pionage activities will pe an integral
part of the United States Canadian
joint defense program under the
plan announced Saturday by Pres
ident Roosevelt.
Major object of such unification
would be to prevent the possibility
of Fifth Column" in Canada dir
ected from the United States, or one
in the United States run from the
Dominion.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that perma-
nent joint defense board will be
made up of four or five members
representing each government.
First step in creation of an inter-
national system of Fifth Column
control would be closer cooperation
between the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation and the Canadian Royal
Mounted Police, it was believed. The
second would be joint control by the
justice department and the Cana
dian law enforcement agencies of
foreign agents, propagandiSts and
subversive organizations as they
might affect defense of the western
hemisphere.
Although the British Dominion
already has taken strict wartime
measures against espionage and the
United States also has taken pre-
cautions, the effectiveness of both
programs now stops at the Internal
ional border.
Work Together
At present the FBI and the Can
adam Mounted Police work together
on enforcement of criminal laws of
the two countries but this co-opera-
ton has not been extended to
counter espionage on large scale.
FBI director ]. Edgar Hoover
would not discuss the matter in adj
vance of appointment of the joint
defense board.
The immigration services Of the
two nations now maintain a con-
slant Interchange of information to
prevent unauthorized foreign agents
from crossing the International bor-
der in either direction.
The justice department criminal
division has established informally"
propaganda control unit and divi-
sion agents are preparing official
documents on the propaganda activ-
tiles in the United States of four
nations-Germany, Italy. Japan and
Russia. They will be available to the
public If approved by Attorney
General Robert H. jackson.
Extension of the propaganda con-
troll system to disclose similar opera
tions in Canada, as they might affect
the United States and defense Of the
western hemisphere, would be the
next step, one source said.

ties to investigate a meeting of the
New Jersey Khan held at a Nazi

feel that the American people are
entitled to know the true facts-we
have repeatedly insisted that Con-
gress dissolve the Communist party

tigation and to furnish any records

POULTRYMEN OF
CONN. RETOOLINC
Changing Over Flocks
From Old Hens To Lay
ing Pullets

Hartford, Aug. 21.-Connecticut
poultrymen are now in the process
Of what manufacturers refer to as
"retooling, getting ready for mass
production of their 1941 model Con-
necticut fresh EGGS" the state de-
partment of agriculture announced
today. This IS being accomplished
by changing over most of the COM
mercial egg producing flocks of lay
ers from old, large-egg-laying hens
to new young flocks of birds which
produce only small size eggs during
their early shakedown trial run pc
RODS of production.
The important part of this an
nouncement is not to point out the
parallel between egg production and
other types of manufacturing, the
department states, but to explain
to Connecticut housewives why large
size fresh egg prices advanced so
sharply the past week. 1t is an an
nual midsummer market occur
renee, caused by the annual "re-
tooling" of the egg producers.
1t is a difficult period for the
poultryman, when he is forced to
sell his products for almost half
price because they are not quite as
large as Mrs. Housewife is accus-
toned.
1t is profitable period, however,
for those careful food buyers who
analyse their egg purchases on a
weight basis. The small or pullet
size eggs are now selling at many
retailers for prices about five cents
pound less than the large when
converted to a weight basis.
The new young flocks now pro-
ducing a surplus of small eggs will
have completed their trial produc-
ton runs by early winter and will
then settle down to a mass produc-
ton schedule of abou It's million
large size Connecticut fresh eggs
a month, the department predicts.
Abundant supplies of native toma-
toes have started arriving on mar
kets throughout the state, the an
nouncement further advises. The
tomato crop had been delayed this
year by excessive cool weather ear
lier in the season. However, the
