TWO WEEKS GRACE TO RECORD LISTS

Although July was originally the deadline for landlords to file lists of rented and rentable property, they still have until the 18th of this month in which to complete this detail, it was announced at the local rent administration office. An ex- tension was recently granted in the several areas of this state now having rent control.
 Rent control was extended to the New Haven and New London areas today, but landlord registration will not begin there until staffs have been completed and headquarters set up.
 Registration of rooming house keepers or persons letting out rooms and hotel proprietors is also ex- pected to start this month, teh ex- act date to be announced by local rent administrators.

REPORTER SAYS. NIGHT CONVOY NO CHILD'S PLAY

ABOARD A COASTGUARD CUTTER OFF EAST COAST - (U. p - Night conveying is no fun.
 It's a hard, thankless job that calls for skill, luck and constant vigil that would leave me gray headed within a week.
 I had taken conveys for granted.
 The business of maintaining position at night when you're run ming without lights and don't dare use your radio hadn't even entered my mind. found how difficult 1t really can be.
 The afternoon had passed almost without incident, and, as the day. light turned into dusk and the sea became pale blue instead of its cus- 'tomary dark green, virtually every one was maintaining a lookout.
 Lifelines Strung On Deck
 The barometer had fallen and the wind was fresher. Our lifelines were strung along the deck and our recognition signals were in place. Our detection device was in con- stant operation.
 Night came and with 1t the revea lation to me that night convoy was no child's play. The convoy ships which had loomed so large in the daytime simply disappeared in the early darkness. The other patrol vessels weren't to be seen.

 Finding 1t turned out to be quite simple. Our skipper knew the course and speed of the other ships. Bea- cons gave us our position and be- fore I could start worrying too much the convoy was back where it should be.
 During this, I found later, every one had changed course.

OPA officials have issued warn ings to all merchants to have their ceiling price lists filed to avoid the penalties possible for failure to do so, namely fines as high as $5, 900 or Imprisonment.
 Although no forms were distrib- uted locally through the OPA office many wholesalers supplied their customers with special ones.
 By midnight the thousands of retail stores of New England will have completed their listing of maximum March prices under the general regulation, and filed them with their local, state or regional war price or rationing boards.
 AS much as a month go, an ever increasing stream of returns has been received by the boards, George R. Taylor, New England regional price executive of the OPA at IT Court stret, said today.
 "There is every indication" MT. Taylor said, that retailers gener- ally are earnestly seeking to con- form to the regulation reuiring that their ceiling price lists be poscted with us. The early flow of these listings has been very gratifying.
 While the order for filing of these statements called for their de- livery to the nearest rationing board, many retilers have sent their lists directly to the regional or state headquarters. These will be forwarded back to the local boards
 By midnight we shall have

much better picture of the entire retail price ceiling structure in New England than ever before. Mean whilye, preliminary results of the surveys being conducted to deter mine the percentage of compliance with the maximum price regula- tions in various sections of t.Ie re- zion indicate an increasing effort on the part of the great army of retailers to Lring their compliance up to the 100 per cent mark"
 The statements which retailers are required to file are the highest prices at which any of the list of nearly 200 "cost-of- living" com modities were sold or offered for sale during March.

Owners of taxable property, other than real estate and automobiles, flooded the office of the assessors office today, the last one on which they may declare the same. Failure to sign the lists prepared by the assessors after p. m. today will result in 10 per cent penalty charge. Considerable confusion at- tended this years list signing as in previous years owners of real estate always signed their lists, but the 1941 legislature changed the law.

But how active part he can take is debatable. Egypt and the whole Middle East are so rtddled with ac- tive and passive Axis sympath'zers that little more than routine ges- lures can be made.
 Six months ago NahaS Pasha did close the Vichy Legation and or der the French minister back to France. With British collaboration. he aLco closed the embassies of the Balkan nations at war with Bri- tain, and chased out of Egypt the small army of Hungarian and Ital- ian girl entertainers who danced in the night clubs of the important naval port of Alexandria.
 MANY ITALIANS
 IN EGYPT
 His constant surveillance of court habitues who surround King Farouk is also an important contribution to the present war of Allied counter espionage being waged in the Medi- terranean theater of the World War
 But beyond these, NahaS Pasha can do little. Egypt's Fifth Column, with headquarters in Cairo, is the center of movement that stretches up through Palestine to Syria into Turkey. In Egypt alone, there are an estimated 60,000 first and second generation Italians. Because they are better mechanics than the Egyptians, they largely run garages and repair automobiles. Although some are undoubtedly ant!-Axis, 1t is quite conceivable that a large Slice of this group leans actively closer to Italy than to Britain and the United States
 ITALIANS GOT BRITISH
 BATTLE PLANS
 Mary native clements, too are far from loyal, with some actually in the pay of the Wilhelmstrasse. For nominal sums, they spy on all per- manent and transient BritonS and Americans. They spread rumors, of which such blitZkrieg followed Rommels break-through into Egypt that NahaS Pasha had to issue an official warning of drastic punish Inent for -mongers.
 Almost the first indication of a chink in the facade of purported complete Egyptian friendship which Britain has erected appeared when the story of British battle plans be- ing found in Italian hands at the capture of Tobruk during the desert campaign last winter was released to the press only recently.
 Egypt's former prime minister had asked General Wavell for his plans for the coming battle. Wavell handed them over, but they were heavily doctors. British suspicious proved correct when copies of these phony plans were found in the pos session of captured Italian officers
 They had been transmitted to Rome in the diplomatic pouches of the then active Balkan ministries. Some messages are, of course. trans mitted to Rome by secret wireless, but that is hardly necessary when an Egyptian agent can write a let ter to a friend in neutral Turkey, who will immediately post it on to Berlin or Rome

mountain tribe of Wallas would kill
him on sight. Only Alfredo had
ever seen white man.
Next morning the soldier was
started on his way downriver' in a
cayuco, or native dugout. Alfredo
headed upriver to his village,
stopped there few days without
daring to mention the white soldier
to his local chief, and then crossed
the continental divide down to the
Atlantic, on the way to the hieh
chief of all the San Bias tribes,
Chief Nele Kantule.
Kantule, long a good friend of
the Army, knew what the presence
OF white man meant in the Darien
country. He got the word out to
the military authorities, promising
all his aid in forming an expedition.
This was now late in May. The
Army airplane had disappeared on
the night of May 13. Even by the
time Chief Kantule's message came
through, it was practically certain
that no survivors of the crash could
be alive. The jungle down here
is not kind to the white man un-
familiar with it's terrors.
One expedition of Army bushmas-
ters got under way quickly, pene-
trated over the mountains and sent
out Indian runners for any news
OF a white man. There was none.
This expedition returned to the
Atlantic Coast, with its own tale
OF adventures.
Trained Jungleers Chosen.
Then the Army decided to do
something that no soldiers-no
white man-had ever done before.
In its desire to make every possible
search in addition to the scores
OF aerial surveys then under way,
the Army decided to send an ex-
pedition all the way down the
mysterious and dangerous Chucu-
naque River, from one coast to the
other.

from Thornton, Tex. Ray Riseden.

them that, in the face of their
struggles, they discovered only

charred remains of an old campfire.
