| and navy contracts, but Mir. Roose- yelt's act today gives the government power to apply them to orders for all democracies accepting aid under the lease-lend program, to all gov" ernment agencies, and to civilian needs which defense officials deem urgent enough to rate preference over war production.
 Under the law, industry must pro- duce first the things the govern ment tells 1t to, and without protest.
 The priority power was given to the office of production manage ment, priority division, headed by Edward R. Stettinius, Jr., former chairman of the board of United States Steel corporation.
 May Never Enforce Law
 Administration authorities said they felt the OPM may never have to exercise complete powers. They said actual acceptance of the govern ment's power appeared esufficient to insure industry's compliance. Priorities, however, have been in. voked in industries producing vital materials and additional priority sys' ters will be set up as the defense production campaign Is accelerated,
 Enactment of the law was vic- tory for Mir. Roosevelt and William s. Knudsen, chief of OPM. The house had amended the bill to vest the authority with the war and navy high command. Knudsen and Stettinius has opposed the amend. ment vigorously, and 1t had been re. ported at one time they would re. sign If the house version became law. The senate revised the measure to make 1t acceptable to the dee fense production chiefs.
 MT. Roosevelt also signed the i042 treasury -postoffice appropria- ton bill which carries 0 rider de- signed to accelerate production of steel, one of teh industries on which priorities have been invoked. The measure authorizes vessels of Can- adian registry to transport iron ore between United States Great Lakes ports, additional freighters to the Great Lakes fleet The authorization however, is only for the 194i ship ping season.
 Appropriations
 The appropriation provides e304,- 330, ,185 for the treasury and Se43,- 294, ,l99 for the postofilce department for the fiscal year.
 MT. Roosevelt continued his week. end rest with his family. He prob. ably will return to Washington Tuesday Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr, an ensign assigned to the destroyer Migrant, visited his father yester. day but returned to his Ship last night.
 When he returns to Washington Tuesday MT. Roosevelt will confer with John c. WinAnt, United States ambassador to Great Britain, who returned by Pan American Airways Clipper to make special report un. derstood to have been too conhden. tial for transmission by telephone or cable. The president talked to WI. nant In New York by telephone Saturday and arranged the Tuesday meeting.
 There was speculation that wi. nant might be carrying e personal message from British Prime Minis. ter Winston Churchill concerning British reversals, her current war needs from the United States and the effect of closer collaboration be- tween the French Vichy government and Germany.

MAHANEY REVIEWS
 COUNTY BATTLE
Chances of Local Man Be. ing Named Commissioner
 Viewed as Improved
Democrat Legislative Reporter

state Capitol Hartford June D. The chances of representative Dan- lel J. Mahaney of Waterbury for ap- pointsnent as New Haven County commissioner were believed inprov- cd today as a result of the nomina- ton of Attorney John O.. Fitzgerald of New Haven, Q place on the com mon pleas court bench.
 Representative Mahaney today was also continuing his effort to have meeting of New Haven county legislators held before the legislature adjourned on Wednes- day. At such meeting, if called, Representative Mahaney would seek the endorsement of the committee delegation.
 Tn another move on behalf of the veteran Waterbury member of the House, Senator Edward ?. Egan re- quested Senator Albert L. Coles Democrat leader and chairman of the Judiciary committee, to file a favorable report on his resolution providing for the appointment of MT. Mahaney.
 The strength of the Mahaney backing Is believed great enough to force 0 close vote forth to any of Commissioner James E. Hines of East Haven, the Waterbury mans principal rival, offered to the Gen. eral Assembly for approval. If no appointment to the place is made by the General Assembly, Governor Robert A. Hurley will have the duty of filling the position.
 The Senate was scheduled to pass this afternoon a bill providing pen- sions for the mothers of two former Waterbury policemen. The bill was passed in the house last week.
 The measure provides pensions of SEQ a month for Mrs. Mary L. Luddy and Mrs. Ervillia A. Blodgett.
