TWO NEW HAVEN
 PAPERS CLOSED
Journal Courier, Register Fail to Publish Because
 of Strikes

New Haven, Conn, Jan. 17.-(UP) The city's two newspapers, the Journal-C Courier and New Haven Register, were unable to publish to- day because of strikes in their com posing rooms. There were 9 print CTS on strike at the Journal-C Courier, morning paper, and approximately 60 at the Register. John Day Jack son, publisher of the Register, holds a controlling interest in the morn ing newspaper. Jackson was eX- pected to release statement during the day outlining the reason for the walkout Meanwhile, Roger A. Connolly. managing editor of the Register, said the strikes at both newspaper plants were called be- cause of a disagreement over "in- depreciation of a contract"
 The composing room force at both papers are members of the same Typographical Union local, and negotiate with the arrangements through a joint committee. Union President Joseph J. Egan also has withheld reasons for the strike. It was the first time in nearly 25 years that the city was without a news paper. Some years ago general strike was called by editorial de- partment workers over wage dis agreements and the four newspapers of the time were unable to publish. The editorial workers published their own paper, which eventually was forced to suspend.

The nation was having unusual weather today.
 There was rain in regions where there should be snow and warm weather in sections where it should be cold this time of year.
 The weather bureau explained it with one word--pressure.
 First there was a storm that brought thunderstorms to Texas. Today this storm was moving north eastward up the Mississippi river valley, decreasing in intensity. Meanwhile, high pressure system moved out of Canada and spread Southward over the plains region and Minnesota bringing colder weather and forecasts of snow.
 Mixed rain and snow fell in a wide band from the Rocky Noun tain states and Oklahoma eastward to the Atlantic states. There was rain in Mississippi and Alabama and in the northwest Pacific states, too.

Cow Jumped Over the Moon Rule on Selling of
 U. s. Navy BUYING OF BRITISH
 NAVY "MOON STORY" No Barrier to Buying Vati- can in Measure, Vet He Will Not Purchase It

Washington, January IT - (UP) = President Roose- welt declared today that provisions in the Brit ish aid bill are designed sole ly to protect America in a world situation that is shift ing every 24 hours. He indi- cated he has no disposition to revise any of those sec tions. As for conjectures that certain provisions might enable him to purchase Britain's fleet in the event England falls to the Nazis, he said that was .cow- jumped" over-the-moon" Specula ton.
 MT. Roosevelt was asked whether he would object to removing from the bill the section which permits the United States to buy equipment from governments which 1t con- siders friendly. He replied quickly that in 8 world that changes every
 4 hours, the administration might need something quickly and ur- gently to add to American defense The provision is strictly a pre- cautionary measure, he said.
 The bill has no provision prohibit ing him from standing on his head, he said, and despite this fact the President of the United States has no intention of standing on his head.
 Similarly, he said there is no legal barrier in the measure to prevent him from buying the Vatican, but said he considered such purchase considerably unlikely.
 Same Old Moon Tale.
 That same "cow-jumped- lover the moon" rule applies to talk of his selling the United States Navy, he said.
 Congress, the President said, might authorize him also to pur- chase the German navy, indicat- ing his belief that such an author ization would be about as practical as talk of him buying the British navy.
 MT. Roosevelt affirmed Joseph P. Kennedy's right to speak his mind in 8 radio speech tomorrow night on foreign policy but suggested that the ambassadors actual speech be awaited before judgments be made on his position on the bill.
 The President refused to be urawn into discussion of newspaper reports that Kennedy has decided to op- pose the measure. He said he won- dered whether the public should re- ly upon the speculation of writer, or whether America should wait un- til tomorrow night for Kennedy to speak for himself.
 Kennedy, the President said, wants to speak for himself instead of having his sentiment presented by the press.
 When MT. Roosevelt was asked whether he expects Kennedy to support any provisions of the meas ure, he refused to make predictions. explaining he is not . columnist and has not the faintest idea.
