Roosevelt Scorns All Americans "Who Preach The Gospel of Fear"
Bids Godspeed to IA New Ships Which Went Down
 Ways Ready for Action

Washington, Sept. 27-(UP)- President Roosevelt, scorning Amer jeans "who preach the gospel of fear," promised full protection for the American merchant marine to- day as he bade 0odspeed to IA new ships which slide down the ways of shipyards on both coasts in the largest mass launching since the first World War.
 The presidents address, tram scribed in advance to be played for shipyard workers and launching guests at yards on the Pacific, Att lantic and the gulf coasts, was the high spot of "Liberty Fleet Day" sponsored by the Maritime Com mission in observance of the first launchings of units of the 3l2 new emergency type liberty cargo ships.
 we Americans as Q whole" the president said, cannot listen to those few Americans who preach the gospel of tear-who say In ef- feet that they are still in favor of freedom Of the seas but who would have the United States tic up our vessels in our ports.
 k 'That attitude is neither truth ful nor honest.
 we propose that these ships sail the seas as they are intended to. We propose to the best of our abil- ity, to protect them from torpedo. from shell or from bomb"
 High Seas Our Prosperity
 Declaring that the growth and prosperity of the nation had been heavily dependent on high seas commerce and general freedom of the seas, the president described the building program of the navy, as well as of the maritime comnais- sion as lone of our answers to the aggressors who would strike at our liberty"
 With every new ship, he added, shipworkers of America are "strik- ing Q telling blow at the menace to our nation and the liberty of the free peoples of the world"
 The president called particular attention to the s. s. Patrick Hem ", launched at Baltimore, which is the first unit of the Liberty Fleet to come off the ways. He said the vessel, named for the famed rev-

MANY NAMES ARE
 OFF VOTING LISTS
Democrat Leaders Having Controversy With COP.
 Registrar A. 0. Taller

Names of several hundred Wa terburianS are being removed from the voting lists, with prospects that more will be added. Democratic leaders are in e controversy with Republican Registrar of Voters Albert o. Taller, claiming that many of those listed are still eli- gible to vote here and the situation may be brought Into court for Q dee cision.
 Most of the names being stricken from the lists are those of persons who have moved since the ast elec- ton and have failed to register their change of address with the regis trars. Under an act passed by the 1941 General Assembly they must apply for retention of voting privi leges not less than 17 days before the city election, which will be held November {.
 Has Done It Before
 At the past several city elections Registrar Taller has ordered the removal of many names from the lists because of alleged non-resi- dence. Appeals to the superior court have each time resulted in a ruling that the voting franchise should not be forfeited because of a change of address, and the court has allowed persons appealing from Mir. F'aller's ruling to vote as long as they reside in the City of Water bury. It is now being debated whether the new act will result in a different decision by the court in the event of any appeals on election day.
 The removals from the list are the result of canvasses by Republican and Democratic aides of Registrars kGonaAi.a..aa ..a nnnA AA

(United Press Stan COrreSpOmoentl
 Tokyo, Sept. 27 -(UP)-A Admiral Teijiro Toyoda, foreign minister, said today that Japan, Germany and Italy should renew their deter imitation to surmount whatever dif- ficulties are in their paths.

 Japan, Germany and Italy are steadily making great strides toward construction of new order in Eur ope and East Asia," Toyoda said. "Our constructive efforts will still be confronted by many difnculties and therefore increased efforts will be required. But am firmly con- vinced that the accomplishments of these three powers-making their alliance the basis of their diplomacy in cooperation in the brief period since their pace was signed will play a great role in the world victory. Has Lofty Mission
 '~The alliance has the lofty mis- sion of preventing the extension of disputes and the spread of hostili- ties as far as is possible. I do not doubt that in the last vera our pact has accomplished 8 great deal in this respect. Our ideal as enunci- ated in the tri-partite pact is the noble mission of mankind. Mutual cooperation. trust and patience are essential in achieving this ideal. Therefore. today each signatory should renew it's attitude toward this point and renew their deter minatio nto surmount whatever dif- faculties lie ahead"
 The German ambassador, Gen. Eugene Ott, Issued an aniversary statement in which he said:
 "The alliance slgnatories are en- gagged in q tremendous military, economic and spiritual struggle such as the world has not seen before. Believing that the fate of coming centuries depends on the iirSnness and inseparabllity of their common front and upon the hegoism Of their soldiers, they enter tiSe new alliance year proudly confident of victory but also ready for afay sacrifice. i.

 My Fellow Americans:
 This iS . memorable day In the history of American shipbuilding "a memorable day in the emer" gency defense of the nation. To- day, from dawn to dark, fourteen ships are being launched-on the Atlantic, on the Pacific and on the Gulf and among them is the first Liberty ship, the Patrick Henry.
 While we are proud of what we are doing, this Is certainly no time to be content. We must build more cargo vklps and still more cargo ships = and we must speed the program until we achieve Q launching each day, then two ships Q day, fulfilling the build ing program undertaken by the Maritime Commission.
 Our shipbuiIding program-not only that of the Maritime Conn mission, but of the Navy-ls one of our answers to the aggressors who would strike at our liberty.
 ! am speaking today not only to the Shipworkers in the building yards on our coasts, on our great lakes and on our rivers - not only to the thousands who are present at today's launchings-
