liquor business during the prohibi-

and law-abiding, and it can hardly
be said that conviction of manu-

LIMITATION OF
 WAGE INCREASES
Committee Members Indi= cate That It May Have to
 be Entered In Bill
-(NEA. Telephoto)
BY JOHN l.. STEELE

Washington, Aug. 6-(UPl-Mem- bres of the House Banking and Cur rency committee indicated today that 8 limitation on wage increases would be written into the admin istration's price control bill.
 The committee was warned by Price Control Administrator Leon Henderson yesterday that increases in wages and employment have brought the nation "to the brink of imitation" He said that payrolls now are 152 per cent of normal.
 Henderson resumes his testimony before the committee today and members planned to question him further concerning the need for a limitation upon wage increases.
 Rep. Clyde Williams, D., Mo. ranking majority member, said any effective price control measure would have to contain limitations upon "all component parts of com modity costs, including labor" He planned to ask Henderson for sta- tistics concerning the ratio of labor costs to the prive of various com modities.
 Rep. Charles L. Clifford, R., Mass. said labor and agriculture certain ly must be included in any general price fixing program"
 The administration proposal con- ta1ned no provision for control of wages or farm prices, except to the extent that the latter could not be fixed by the price control authority at less than 10 per cent above parity.
 It was believed that provision for those controls had been eliminated to prevent the measure from being opposed by congressional farm and labor blocs.
 President Roosevelt warned in his special message to congress, how ever, that no price liability was pos- sible If labor costs rise abnormal ly."
 Rep. Jesse Wolcott, R., Mich, ranking minority member, said he would call 8 meeting today of Republican price study committee and predicted that a substitute bill would be broader than the pending measure would be proposed.
 He said any program designed to check inflationary price rises should include curb on govern ment spending and repeal of the Presidents authority to devalue the dollar and to issue $500, 900 ,0OO in greenbackS. The substitute also would includes restrictions on dol- ar-down-dollar-a-week buying. He added that some control on wages "1s probably necessary, as wages are an important component of com- modity prices"

Carloadings upInJune,
 N. H. Road Reports
President Palmer Gives Out Figures Freight Figures
 For July Due To Be 39.596 Higher

General carloadings of the New Haven Railroad for June were up 33.1 per cent over the June ,1940. figure, as revealed by Howard s. Palmer, New Haven, president and trustee, in an interview today. New Haven freight revenues in July are expected to be about 39.5 per cent higher than in July, 1940, and over twice as much as in July, 1892.
 These figures reflect the sharp rise in New England business &C., tivity", MT. Palmer stated. New Haven Railroad territory has re- ceived over $1,5o0000,O00 worth of defense orders-about II per cent of the total contracts awarded thus far.
 During the first five months of this year, business activity in New England was Al per cent above the same period last year, while the gain throughout the entire country was only g per cent. During the first five months of this year, New Haven freight revenues were 305 per cent higher than in 1940, com- pared with a gain of 20 per cent for all United States railroads"
 Equally significant are the New Haven's passenger statistics, MT. Palmer said. In June, the road carried 1,561 ,45l passengers in and out of Grand Central Terminal, N. Y., for a June record. Another June record breaker was the total of 112,530 Boston New York through passengers. Total June passenger revenue was 22.6 per cent ahead of last year and July revenues from this source are now running about 30 per cent ahead of last year.
 Every indication points to 6 con- tinued rise in our traff1c," the New Haven's president declared.
 Revenue cars received from our gateways, mostly raw materials, were up 35.5 per cent in June, and their volume is steadily acceler- ating."
 All New Haven operating figures reflect record traffic loads, MT. Palmer said. In June the New Ha-

FRANCE THINKS
 ABOUT FUTURE
Hour Has Arrived to Solve Most Delicate Problems
 With Germany
BY RALPH HEINZEN

Vichy, France, Aug. 6 --(UP)- Vice Premier Admiral Jean Darlan conferred with authorities in Paris today on administrative problems, 1t was announced.
 Shortly before he left here by automobile a statement made in Paris by Fernand De Brinon. French ambassador to the occupied zone, was released to Vichy news papers. It said that "the hour has now come to solve the most deli cate problems between the French and German governments"
 Coincident with Darlan'S depar- ture, it was announced that Gen. Maxine Weygand, governor general of French North Africa, had been placed under Darlan,s direct orders on all questions of general policy, and the German-contrulled Paris newspapers unleashed 8 new blast at United States Under Secretary of State Sumner Welles for alleged ly exercising intolerable pressure on France" over the Indo- China af- fair.
 These developments indicated that Darlan's trip to Paris involved matters of the French African em- pire.
 Menacing Dakar
 The Paris newspaper LOeuvre led the anti-American salyo with an editorial charging that the United States and Britain were menacing Dakar.
 We have been assured that American naval units are hidden away in Liberia in liaison with Brit ish naval forces operating on land" 1" the newspaper said "It is clear that this menaces Dakar, and Morocco is not out of reach"
 The newspaper said that the dis memberment of the French empire had begun and that the offenders were the British and Americans, rather than the Germans.
 What has happened to St. Pierre, Miquelon, Guadloupe, Martinique, Guyana, New Caledonia and other islands in the Pacific where our flag once flew?" the newspaper said. "All are occupied or under protection with or without the ap- parent consent of the French gov- ernment. It is useless to speak of our unhappy establishments in h. dia, the vestiges of another empire which England stole from us as they did Canada.
 What are we going to do if the British attack Djibouti tomorrow? {. :. in a word, we have saved only Indo- China :. by a military and economic accord with Japan"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-08-06

ven's freight business, as measured by net ton miles, was the highest for any month since October, 1929. It was the best June since 1921.
 "Nor do freight and operating statistics tell the entire story of our operations under the National Emergency, MT Palmer added.
 "Only railroad operating men know the vast amount of detailed planning, careful checking and con- stant vigilance necessary to carry our share of the defense burden. Special movements for over- -dimen- sion Shipments-big guns for coast defenses and armor plate and ma- chinery for New England shipyards are an example of the specialized problems the defense program is putting before us. Tn June, we carried 160 special over dimension movements and 122 were carried in the first 24 days of July. In many cases, over-dimen- sion loads must be covered by tele- phone and on short notice. Clear ance engineers must be consulted and train movements charted for the entire route."
 Asked about a possible equipment shortage, MT. Palmer said that he foreSaw none for the near future. Our shippers realize the necessity for the prompt unloading of freight cars upon receipt and have been cooperating in both unloading and in heavier loading of outbound cars. Purchase of new equipment, construction, of additional facilities and increased operating efficiency were enabling the New Haven to cope with emergency traffic, he de- clared.
 Not by any stretch of the imagi- nation could our operation today be described as business as usual" he said.
 Neither does it represent radi- cal change in our way of doing things. It is rather tightening up of operations all along the line-a pulling-in of the slack between the New Haven under the National Emergency and under normal con- ditions. That's good sign. It shows we're doing our job with little friction or diSlocation of nor nal freight and passenger traffic. Some excursions may be curtailed, trains may be somewhat crowded during holiday peaks when, in ad- dition to regular passengers, large number of furloughed troops are moving. But we're maintain our records for on-time departures and arrivals and, so far as possible, the railroad is maintaining normal serv- ice while handling record traffic loads"
