Deadly Parallel"
Traffic Fatalities, Liquor Consumption Keep Pace - 104O to Be Recorded as Wettest Year
 Since World War Predicts w. C. T. U.

[ Evanston, Ill, Dec. Recalling attention to the deadly parallel which has marked traffic fatalities and liquor consumption since repeal the National w. c. T. U. today fore saw an increased highway death toll as inevitable for 1940.
 The w. c. T. U. has predicted that 1940 will set record as the wettest year since the World War with consumption of liquor passing the two-billion-ga gallon mark.
 The National Safety Councils re- port for nine months indicates the probability of a three-yea rhigh mark for highway deaths in 1940.
 With rare exceptions, highway deaths and total liquor sales make a parallel curve on graph for the years since repeal, the w. c. T. U reported.
 For the first eight months of 1940 liquor consumption increased an ap- proximate 17 per cent over 1889 During the years first nine months traffic deaths increased per cent
 Tt cannot be a coincidence when year after year increased liquor sales come simultaneously with increased traffic deaths" the w. 0. T. U. con- cluded. New and old drinkers con- stunned 25,681 1892 more gallons of li- quor each mont hof l940, January

City May Register
 Over 15,OOO Aliens
Postal Officials Manifest Surprise at Number Here;
 December % Marks "Dead Lne' for Enrolment

postoffice on the second floor.
 More than 10 per cent of the city's population is now enrolled, MT Babin said, with 10,500 persons up to Wednesday which constitute the non-citizens of the city.
 Postmaster Babin related last night of an 81 year old woman who lives in New Bedford, Mass, who visited her son and family in Water bury during Thanksgiving holidays and became i'll. She was much wor- ried about her failure to have com piled with the alien registration act and insisted on going to the post office.
 Her illness swelled her feet and relatives were unable to put on her shoes, wrapped her feet in. a blan- ket and bundled her in her sons car and drove her to the post office.
 A clerk was sent to the car in front of the post office building to interview her but he was unable to secure good impression of the woman's fingerprints. When he dis. covered that the hands were swollen he ordered her with instructions to the members of her family to be talk en home. He told her that a physi- clans certificate will attest to her condition and the routine registra- ton will be completed by the certi- ficate from the doctor, her illness making it impossible for her to com ply with the law.
 The woman felt satisfaction in spite of the ordeal she had under gone in fulfilling her obligation ir attempting to comply with the law as a prospective American.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-12-13

Postmaster Charles A. Babin an- nounced that the alien registration of Waterbury will possibly run as high as IA or IS per cent of the city,s population before the deadline is reached. The last day for regis- tration is Dec. 26, MT. Babin said, and the law for registration requires that all aliens must be registered and fingerprinted by midnight of Dec. 26, or be liable for prosecution by federal authorities. Instructions have been received by MT. Babin that persons failing to register by Dec. 26 may be accepted later but must furnish a satisfactory reason for their delay. Those who do not furnish acceptable reasons for the delay will be liable to penalties.
 The office of the registration bu- reau is opened daily and a sufficient staff is provided to take care of the enrolment of aliens with only a minimum wait. The office is at the

the future in a world "torn by war and revolution"
 The platform said, in part:
 1.--"What we need to protect.
 ITO safeguard our Independence as a nation we must build our mill itary, economic, and spiritual de- lenses we must hold fast to the lib- critics that are the very foundation of the Americna way of life"
 2.-Providing our military defens- es."
 Under this heading, the platform said that the strength to defend America was the first concern of the nation. Three major problems, 1t said, were involved. They were de- termination of the vital interests to be defended" the responsibility of government" determination of the extent of national defense, "also the responsibility of government" and production of the required equip- ment and supplies, "the task of in- dustry--of America at work"
 3. Strengthening our economic defenses.
 "Our economic machine must be geared to production of both the equipment needed for national de- fense and the goods needed for everyday living. "'''
 Factors necessary to effect that end, the platform said, included equitable relationship between farm and other prices; opportunity for management and labor to operate efficiently; intelligently adjusted taxation; avoidance by government of production in competition with private enterprise; maintenance of equitable wage rates to increase pro- duction; encouragement of private capital investment; preservation of competition, and maintenance of consumer buying power.
 4. Preparing for the future"
 The platform stressed the import ance of looking ahead to a time when the nation might have to re- vert to a time economy. En- visaging time when great numbers of workers would be released from national defense employment, it said VAldV oOCHo ollOuAQ US LthCIl IIOW UO minimize the effects of that dislo- cation.
 Among such fundamental con- alterations, the platform said, "are protection of government credit by keeping reserves of borrowing pow CT for future use and encouraging the use of private funds for produc- tive defense facilities; prevention of an inflationary spiral of runaway prices and wages; curtailment by industry of any tendency to over- mortgage the future or to build in- ventories unnecessarily by unwise expansion of credit through install- ment selling or otherwise; efficient expenditure of defense funds, and rigid economy in non defense of federal state and local govern ments."

Friday,thel3th! w ate rburians Too Busy Christmas Shopping to Be-
 come Super
 stitious.

The calendar turned up another Friday the 18th today but Water bury just flicked a bit of salt over its shoulder and went about its business. Even the superstitious are getting used to 1t now, for 1t was only September when the last Friday the 18th came.
 Downtown streets were crowded with Christmas shoppers who gave no evidence of being afraid of a Friday the 18th jinx. Stores will close at the reguglar hour tonight but will be open until o'clock to- morrow night.
 For the very superstitious today is one of those dread days that's better over with. It's a day to keep far away from ladders and black cats and fingers should be crossed.

WILLKIE IN THE
 MARKET FOR JOB

New York, Dec. 13-(UP)-Wen- dell L. Willkie, who came here for what he called an informal visit" with Willkie club leaders and others, said today he was in the market for a "job".
 The defeated Republican presiden- tial candidate, who resigned as pres- ident of Commonwealth & Southern corporation to run against President Roosevelt, said he w2s getting tired of inaction after vacation in Flor ida
 T have got to get job, have got to get back in hsrress,' he said with laugh. T have not decided definitely what I am going to do. have several things in mind but, frankly, I have not reached de- cision."
 Willkie apparently will continue to maintain headquarters in the Commodore hotel.
