CHANGES PLANNED
 IN WPA PROGRAM
Work Being Deferred In Sections Engaged In De-
 fense Activities

Acting WPA Administrator Frank Upman, Jr., has informed town and city off1cials throughout the state of the absolute necessity for temporar- fly deferring work on non-certified projects in areas where there are active certified defense projects, 1t was announced at WPA state head quarters today.
 The reason for deferment of the usual spring programs in many cities and towns, MT. Upman said, is two-fold: The steady decline in WPA rools, and the recent instruc- tions from national headquarters to speed up work on all certified de- fense projects.
 With available personnel decreas- ing and with working hours on the defense prospects, increasing, workers are being transferred from other projects 4n large cities and even brought in from neighboring towns in areas where man-power shortages exist to carry on the defense work.
 Tn some towns, MT. Upman said, this may result in @ deferment of the entire local program during the present emergency. Larger cities may have to forego the bulk of other projects planned at least for while.
 The development of airports at Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport GroEon, Fort Wright, Willimantic and Danbury, improvement of army and navy facilities, construction of roads and bridges and similar work important to national defense will will engage the energies of most of WPA's personnel for months to come, MT. Upman said.

In re the Case of the People against War: It has come to the pass that 1t Is common knowledge that war is detrimental to the welfare of the common people, that 1t Is 8 wrong committed uopn the people, and that the people have decided to arraign war and It's promoters at the Bar of Pubuic Opinion.
 It is charged for the people that amongst the prevalent causes of war are lack of investigation and enquiry, by those who 1t seeks to destroy. Indifference to human misery. National irritability, self. fish financial interest, secret treat les and motives of cabinets and trade competitor for world mar kets; greed, hatred, mob hysteria created through propaganda by war iinongers and merchants of death; aggression to acquire ter- ritory, colonies and imperialism. It is also charged by the people that was is Q crime, as 1t cons dones murder, and the slaughter not only of combatants, but of non-c n-combatants 1. e. women and children. The pursuit and purpose of this preliminary examination Is to outlaw from all Christian na- tons, lands and countries; through their governments; by the hold ing of national referendums ir. respective of solitary ministers, unto the end that war may for ever be banished from the world; with the approval and votes of the people, by the people, for the people; with the exception made in the case of the defense of any nation of It's people in the case of attack by an outside enemy; when such nation has not itself been an attacker outside of It's own hemisphere, or so declared war upon Its own initiative.

down c ladder extended to the sec- ond floor of the North Main street building. The flames spread rapidly due to the fact that strong winds were in evidence at the time.
 Defective Chimney
 The fire was caused by Q defec- tive chimney in the novelty store, Fire Marshal Dennis J. Lahey and Lieut.. Eugene Legge reported. A brick taken from the chimney al- lowed the flames from the furnace to ignite the woodwork when the wind famed the flames out of the chimney, the fire officials said.
 The flames spread to the rear of the store and then worked their way between the partition of the two apartments on the first floor. and across the pasSageway to the Abbott avenue building which is separated from the rear North Main street structure by about five feet.
 Clouds of smoke forced the oc- cupants to make their escape from the buildings and some firemen were obliged to use gas masks. The first floor of the North Main street building is occupied by 8 cigar store which Is owned by N. Perugini, confectionery store run by Catherine Kay, @ tailor shop operated by Sam Levine.
 Aerial ladders of truck 3 East Main street at Welton street sta- tions were raised to the roof of the building, and brought the flames under control before they could damage further in toward the front of the building. Bremen stayed at the scene until after g D. m, cart ing out debris and watchful for any further outbreak.
 The night shift came on duty at 5:30 and relieved the day flremen and took up the battle of combating the blaze.
 The building on 326 North Main street and the 89 Abbott avenue apartment is owned by Albert An derson of Arlsonia and is insured against loss.

people that the war horror Is the crystalli0ed though of the indi- vidual, believing that the con quests Of Taminerlane, the Asiatic Pagan conquerer; can be success fully transplanted from the four. teenth to they twentieth century. It IS also the opinion of the people that the power that will end war-is the thought that men were meant for freedom, that the age of conquest by the sword has passed; the thought especially that death for five millions of ten mil- lions, and all conceivable sacri- fees, are better than sacrifie of the human thought that stands for LIBERTY. The enquiry, in. vestigation, research what you will, shall be continued. The enquiry, investigation, research, what you will, shall be continued. The thought even of liberty from war Is c step in progress away from its cruelty, brutality and fiiisery-the concept being held that what the mind can conceive, 1t can do.
 "The best test of truth" said the late Justic Oliver wendell Holmes, is power of thought to get itself accepted in the market, That at nay rate is the theary of our Constitution. It is an ex- pertinent at all life Is an experi- ment. Believing life on experiment one must also believe in freedom. Without freedom how can the ex- pertinent be carried out? One must practice toleration, lest the ex- pertinent be cut short. I have lab- bored carefully not to mock, la ment and execrate the actions of men: I have labored to under stand them. The taste of any public is not to be treated with contempt"
