OFFICIALSUNTT
 IN NEW CAMPAIGN
Three Departments to Take Action Against
 Careless Drivers

In concerted movement, three departments of the city will clamp down on drivers of trucks who lit- ter the streets with refuse and rub bish. The police, health and street departments are determined to keep the streets free from this condition whn trucks while carrying loads through the city dribble 1t over into the street. One instance was cited by Deputy Superintendent Daniel J. Carson where one driver left a trail along Meadow street to River side street. The street department took four hours to pick up the garbage and refuse along this sec- tion where this driver had traversed.
 Deputy. Supt. Carson said these drivers are careless and that many of them are completely indifferent to where the rubbish falls. The po- lice official indicates that city ordinance also prohibits these drivers from passing through streets without covering their load. He said that the courts will be asked to prosecute these offenders of the health law to the full extent and police will be on the lookout for those who use improvised dumping grounds instead of the city's dumps at Fairfield and Bradley avenues.
 The three departments will CO., operate to eliminate what Deputy Carson considers an unsanitary condition and an ugly sight where the refuse is dropped from these trucks. The deputy also warns the local storekeepers that they are as culpable and will be subject to ar- rest.

pOSSIDle uneXpecCe0 palance6 WeGe earmarked "to create surplus that was nice to talk about"
 In his statement today Alderman Walker challenges the mayor and theeboaris of aldermen and finance to go on record as favoring in next years budget a wage increase, ef- fective during the emergency, "foE every city employe excepting board members and those receiving in ex' cess of say 5000 q year."
 MT. Walker said:
 One way to attempt to win your point in a losing controversy is to change the subject. This method is the one pursued by our budget director in the connmufii- cation he sent to the board of finance at the request of our mayor as reported in our local papers relating to means to finance wage increase for city employees. It's a poor way and is the method pursued by one who knows he has a losing argument and is only adopted in place of admitted defeat
 Our mayor and our budget di- rector in their mad desire to squelch the fair and just request of our city employees, for an ad- justment of their wages refuse to discuss the unexpended balances that exist in practically every de- partment and as provided in Sec- tion 30 of the city charter are transferable to any new or pres ent item.
 They prefer to talk about sur- pluses created by payment of taxes in excess of that anticipated which is another matter entirely and which I have admitted pre- viously cannot be used until next years budget is set up.
 The city employees and their families, should have an equal right with the rest of us to main tain decent standard of living in the face of a rapid shrinkage in the purchasing power of the American dollar. Is it the mayors wish that they don't get this right?
 Is the going getting so tough in the stand the mayor is taking that he has to call on the budget director for help to justify his un- fair attitude in this matter of wages?
 Let our budget director do as he did last year, go to each depart ment head and ear mark all pos sible unexpended balances in all departments and report the total to the board of finance. He did this last year to create a surplus that was nice to talk about, let him do the same thing this year for the benefit of the city em- ployes.
 And finally let our mayor, our board of aldermen and our board of finance go on record now favor ing in next years budget 6 tenn porary increase for the duration of the emergency for every city employe excepting board members and those receiving in excess of say $3,000 per year.

Aluminium Collected
 Here StiU Unclaimed

It is claimed that the delay is the result of the failure of the State Defense Council to file a report on the amount of alum mum collected until this week, a month after the drive. A. D.

He forwarded the information inn mediately to Washington, he said, and early instructions on disposal of the metal are awaited.
 The aluminium will be sold to smelterS, which will reclaim it for use again.

King Michael
Like Father

London, Oct. 13-INS Just as
his father once gave up the Ro-
manian throne for red haired
Magda Lupescu. the London Daily
Express said today, 50 young King
Michael would like to put the cares
of state behind him and marry Is
year old red haired Irene MALAGA.
According to the Express, Mich
ael has offered his abdication to
Rumanian Premier Ion Antonescu
In the belief marriage would be
more pleasant than a seat on the
throne.
But Chancellor Hitler personally
interviewed and temporarily avert
ed" the young monarch's plan, &C
cording to the Express.
Young Michael is now serving as
Rumanian king for the second time
in his life. The first time was
when he was a child and his father
King Carol, went off to Paris with
Nine. Lupescu.
That interlude ended one night
when Carol flew back to Bucharest
and resumed the kingship. But u
year ago last month, the Iron
Guard staged a coup d'etat and
Carol abdicated in favor of Michael
and fled. Rumania then entered
the Axis sphere and German
troops entered the country in Oc-
tober, 1910.

wanted for major otfenses.
Mr.. Patch in surveying condi-
