Truths POndered While

BY Mr.. MOdestus-

They can do it
When war comes with it's impera-
tives-
Anything can be done, when guns
begin to talk
Men can be put at work, given com
Portable living
Even provisions for old-age, chill
dren, helpless
Unions can be recognized, with col
lective bargaining
Whatever is necessary for national
unity, is possible
When war looks in at the windows.
But in peace time
These things are too expensive
Permanent unemployment, "is no
part of the problem of Industry
Not in peace time, when there are
dividends to be paid
When the right to hire, and to fire,
is inviolable-
When private property is what the
nation must use

LOCAL DEALERS
 LIKED BLACKOUT
Some of Them May Still Stick to Closing of
 Night Hours

A majority of Waterbury gasoline station operators favor keeping the T D. m. to ' a. m. curfew in effect but competition may force them to re- open night, Fridolf Nelson, president of the Waterbury Gasoline Retailers Association, said today. Many deal- CTS, he stated were sorry to hear of the lifting of the gasoline sale re- strictions on the eastern seaboard.
 The association will hold meet ing within a day or two, at which time an effort will be made to se- cure general agreement to remain closed evenings. However, said MT. Nelson, unanimous agreement on continuing the curfew is hardly like ly and one dealer after another will probably have to open again nights to meet the competition of other retailers.
 Continuance of the 1 p. m. clos ing on Sunday, which local dealers have for the most part followed vol- untarily, is also favored by nia- jority. MT. Nelson said, but probably will also be ended.
 It was reported today that several stations will De open for business to- night after D. nl., returning to the regular schedules followed before the federal restrictions went into effect. Mr. Nelson said he believed most stations would continue clos Ing ct 2 ?. m. until the association had decided on 6 definite policy to he followed.

ROOSEVELT BACKS MAYOR LA CUARDIA
President Believes That His Administration of
 N ". Deserves Support

Washington, Oct. 24--(UP)-pres- ldent Roosevelt today endorsed Fiorello H. La Guardia for re-elec- ton as mayor of New York md praised his administration of the city as the most honest and efn- cient in his recollection.
 Despite his stride across party lines to endorse the candidacy of the Republican candidate, Mr. Roosevelt deprecated reports that 1t might result in the resignation of Edward J. Flynn as chairman of the Democratic National Committee.
 When he was told that New York newspapers had speculated on such 3 possibility, the president replied that he did not think there was any story in that situation. Flynn and other New York city and state Democratic leaders are backing the candidacy of William O'Dwyer, the Democratic challenger.
 The pre- sident endorsed La Guardia in a formal statement, which permitted direct quotation to heighten it's effectiveness. The text of the statement:

100000 Eastern Gas Stations Open Again
7 P. N. to A. M. Blackout Is Ended Along Atlantic SeabOard By Order of Harold L Ickes;
 Official Order Comes Today

Washington, Oct. 24--(UP)-The 100000 gasoline filling stations along the Atlantic seaboard aban- doned today the z D. m.-T a. m "blackout" invoked to conserve gas- oline for national defense.
 Defense oil Coordinator Harold L. Ickes announced yesterday that all restrictions on consumption im- posed because of a shortage in the eastern states could be lifted in view of the return by Britain of 40 oil tankers borrowed under the 'lend-lease program.
 He recommended that OPM Pri- critics Director Donald M. Nelson rescind his order for 10 per cent cut in deliveries to gasoline stations and withdrew his request that sta- ton operators observe the ' D. m curfew because it "is no longer re- cessary."
 Nelson announced that he was preparing an order to carry out Ickes' recommendation. It was ex- pected to be issued today, effective immediately.
 Ickes' announcement ended the controversy over whether there was a shortage which caused bitter de- bate in congress. A special senate committee reported after long hear ings that it found no evidence of 8 shortage.

Knox Expects United States To Fight Japan
Secretary of Navy Does Not Believe Japanese Will Abandon Expansion Policy; Collision May
 Come at Short Notice

Washington, Oct. 24-(UP)-sec. retary of Navy Frank Knox said today that he does not believe Ja- pan intends to abandon its expan- sionist program and that this pro- gram will lead to collision with the United States.
 Knox opinion was expressed tc q group of 14 ordnance manufac- turers and officers of seven naval establishments who gathered in his office to receive "E" pennants.
 "The situation out in the Far East Is extremely strained" Knox said.
 We are satisfied in our own minds that the Japanese have nc intentions for giving up their plans for this expansion. If they pursue that course a collision is inevitable
 The secretary said that the Jap anese menace has a bearing on shipment of American supplies to the Soviet armies. He noted that there are three routes over which these supplies can flow to Russia.
 One is via the Pacific to the Si- berian port of Vladivostok. The Japanese situation makes shipping by that route extremely difficult, Knox explained.
