Waterbury Students Fail To Register In
 Numbers Anticipated
Sponsors Hope for Greater Enthusiasm for OppOrtuni- ties Offered -Mattatuck Institute to Open lrOmOr-
 row Evening Faculty Announced

Fear that the extension courses, sponsored by the University of Con- necticut, would not be given here because of the small advance en. rollment, was expressed today.
 Miss Kathleen Crow1ey, director of the Waterbury Girls club, CO., sponsor of the educational venture, said only 10 boys and girls have enrolled thus far. Since the ex- pense of giving courses in English and history would run to $500 for each course, the small enrolment to date would hardly justify the cost.
 A representative of the Univer- sity will be here Thursday after noon and evening to answer Ques- tions and enroll students. The agent will be at 25 Park place from 2 to 9 o'clock.
 If a sufficiently large enrolment Is obtained, the courses will begin Tuesday Sept. A at Crosby high school from ' to 9 o'clock in the evening. The courses are open to dA1y 4AASkA CS4AOOA 6Ah0UntCp wy OA girl, who meets admission require- rnentS, or to any person 21 years old or over, who believes lie can profit from the work.

By JOHN L. BECKLEY.
Associated Press Statistieian

NEW YORK, June 25.-The
growth Of the automobile industry
provided the background for the
prosperous twenties. Some econo-
mlsts believe that the munitions in
dustry will do the same for the
forties.
We have long needed, they say. a
big new industry to provide genuine
stimulus for a broad expansion in
all parts Of our economy Now. un-
fortunate though the character of
that industry may be, we have It.
1t is quite possible that the NUM-
tions industry may eventually dwarf
even the automotive giant. The peak
year In automobile production saw
plants turn out about IS 900 900 900
OF motor cars in 1929.
This year, with the munitions in
dustry virtually in its infancy, Con-
gress already has appropriated S.
0oo, ,ooo,o 900 for arms spending, with
more coming. Observers doubt.
though, whether our industries can
produce that much within the next
year. But by the end of l94l. some
sources visualize an American arma-
ment industry which will be making
war equipment at the annual rate
of $4,000, 900 900.
The stimulus of the arms industry
will not be confined to a few lines.
economists point out, but will spread
over a wide range of American busi-
nesses. Beneflting from direct Or
ders will be makers of aircraft. air.
craft parts, artillery, explosives,
shells, chemicals, rifles and small
arms, tanks, trucks, machinery and
machine tools.
The higher pay rolls of these in
dustries will flow into others and
step up trade activity generally,
these observers say.
The building of armaments is
usually associated with the lowering
Of the standard of living of nation.
In the United States, though, some
observers believe coming defense
spending may bring a temporary
period of greater prosperity.
Our 100000 unemployed, they
point out, give us reserve which
will prove valuable in the days to
come. 1t will prevent the need of
drawing workers from the produce
ton of consumers goods-the ne
cessities and comforts of living-to
make arms. They may make it pos
sible for us to increase our supply
OF consumers goods even while we
are building out national defense.

The Federal Trade Commission
announced last night that it had
issued price-flxing complaint
against the National Retail Liquor
Package Stores Association, Inc, OF
New York, its officials and members
including 20 State or sectional trade
associations.
The complaint charges, the COM
mission said, that under threat of
boycott the respondents combined
to fix prices, compelled manufac-
turers, importers and wholesalers
not to sell to retailers who cut
prices and "spied upon" cut-rate
dealers, reporting them to the
wholesalers.
Among alleged results of the
respondents practices" the COM
mission said, "are prevention of
price competition, increase of prices
to the public, and creation Of
monopoly in the respondents"
They we're given 20 days to reply.
