Greatest Accomplishment Out. going Gov. Says;
 Claims Health Ruined
By JACK AMMAN

(Gnlte0 Press stan O0rreSponuentl
 Hartford, Conn. Dec, 3i - (U.P1 Governor Robert A. Hurley said today the greatest achievement of his nearly completed two-year term was the peace treaty signed between labor and industry the day after Pearl Harbor. which ended the threat of strikes in Connecticut
 That was beyond a doubt the most important accomplishment of my administration" Governor Hur- ley said in an interview with the United Press.
 In a remembrance of things past. the governor-wfo leaves ofiice next Wednesday said his greatest "dis- appointment during the two years was the failure of the 194l General Assembly to pass state labor rela- tion act.
 ''I did not have many disappoint- ments.'' he said. but failure of the Legislature to set up State Labor Relations Board was one of them. !"
 The governor, without hesitation asserted the Victory Compact the treaty of peace between labor unions and indrstry-set the theme of his war administration. Other major accomplishments during his term the governor listed, in order as:
 Reorganization of the States milk control set-up-"a far reach- ing move acclaimed by that in. dustry"-the executive said.
 The afd to dependent children measure passed by the legislature. Revision Of certain vital public utilities laws.

General Leclerc, commander of the French column, reported in his communique to Fighting French headquarters here that he was well inside Libya and tohat his planes had attacked the airdrome at Sebha about 300 miles east of the Algerian border.
 Reports of the French expedition, said to have started from the re- zion of Lake Chad, were heard sev- eral weeks ago. Then there was a long silence until today's ail- nouncement that the Axis now was under pressure in Africa from the south as well as the east and west.
 Announcement of the new bull wark to the Allied cause came dur ing a day of increased military and political activity in the African theater of war. Other develop ments:
 1. Radio Morocco reported that Axis planes raided Casablanca last night for the first time in the war. There were casualties among the Moroccan population but anti-air. craft fire permitted the planes to drop only a limited number of bombs.
 2. The German official news agency admitted that patrols from the British Eighth Army were operating south of Tripoli, indi- eating Gen. Sir Bernard l.. Mont gomery might have executed arl- other flanking movement around the retreating Afrika Korps. The Germans claimed the British unit was defeated and its commander captured.
 3. An American tank and mo- torized infantry unit was reported to have cut to within 90 miles of Gabes, in Tunisia. threatening Axis communications between 1ri- poll and Ttinisia. There was no confirmation of the action here, and observers were inclined to be- lieve 1t might be nothing more than a scouting expedition.

Conditions VIII Affect Cele. brati0n; Many Restric.
 tiOns Are Imposed

A last-minute demand for New Years Eve reservations at hotels, theaters, and restaurants. indicated that the city plans to welcome in is4S tonight with almost as much enthusiasm and exuberance as in past years. although conditions pre- vailing are somewhat different. Thousands of factory workers will stay on their jobs through the night. but many of those who are free will attend celebrations and church services.
 Cloaked in the semi-darkness of dinout rules, this evenings cele- hrations are not expected to be rec ord breakers. For the first time in several years. merrymakers will be unable to extend their jolity until sunrise. Proprietors report that there will be plenty of alcoholic beverages for sale at hotels and restaurants, but not after a. m. The curfew has been established to prevent the possibility of relaxation of manpower needed for war work. Restauranteurs announce that the price of liquors and food will be higher than year ago, owing to the increased cost of living, and the di- versified menu which celebrators knew in 1940-4i-42 will be conspic- uously missing.
 Transportation restrictions may hamper some persons who used to make an all-night session out of the arrival of the New Year. Many have their cars put up in the garage, and the local C. R. & L. Co. has announced that no extra busses will be in service tonight.
 While frclicking is in full swing at entertainment centers through out the city, churches will hold services as a preliminary to New Years as Q day of prayer, in &C., cordance with the Presidents wishes
 The First Baptist church will hold it's service at 9 and continue until midnight. At St. Johns Episcopal church the service will start at ll:30. St. Johns Evangelical Luth- eran church will hold a service at 6 o'clock.
 Rev. s. W. Weller. pastor of Mount Olive A. M. E. Zion church. will deliver a sermon on How old Art Thou?" at watch night services tonight. The address will be pre- ceded by q i0:30 o'clock service conducted by the class leaders.
