Approximately 1000 passenger car owners whose applications for B and c supplemental ration books were approved have failed to call for their books, Deputy Gas Ad- ministrator James E. Mcknight said today. There were 5,028 such books issued during the period ending at g o'clock last night.
 Though the deadline had been set for Saturday, passenger car owners were given an extension till last night to secure their books. The large volunteers staff working un- der MT. Mcknight remained on duty two extra days.
 Virtually all truck owners have secured their s books, MT. Mcknight said.
 Rumors of counterfeit supple mental gas ration books being of- fered for sale at $1 each were ap- parently without foundation Police have received no complaints of any such violation. Milton Nahum, chief attorney in the law enforcement di- vision of the state OPA, said there have been rumors of this kind from all over the state, but that all re- ports investigated have been found to be baseless.
 Persons delinquent in getting their B or c books will have to wait their turn at rationing board headquar- ters, 119 West Main street. Only the small regular office staff will be on duty.

CONGRESS MIGHT OVERRIDE VETO
Grain Producers w a n t Their Share in Any Syn-
 thetic Rubber Plan
BY SPENCER KLAW


 Washington, July 29-(UP)-Sen. Guy M. Gillette, D.. Ia., author of a bill designed to give grain producers bigger stake in the synthetic rub Der program, predicted today that a presidential veto of the measure would be over-riden "by a very top heavy majority" in both the Senate and House.
 Other congressional farm leaders, including Senate Republican Leader Charles L. McNary of Oregon. indi- cated that they would fight to the last ditch to override veto.
 President Roosevelt told a press conference yesterday thai the chances are he will veto it.
 The bill, which would establish an independent agency with complete control over the production of rub Der from farm products. was rushed through congress last week and now awaits the Presidents action. It was vigorously opposed by War Pro- duction Chief Donald M. Nelson who said 1t would hamstring the WIPES synthetic rubber program, the bulk of which Is based on pro- duction from oil.
 Gillette said that in the event of a veto, Senate action would be de- layed until the termination of the informal August recesse because he would be "very reluctant" to force the calling of a quorum despite the prime importance" of the bill.
 McNary forecast a determined effort" to pass the measure over the Presidents veto, but declined to pre- dict the outcome.
 Tn the House, which passed the bill by a 1O4-18 standing vote, Rep. Clifford P. Hope, R., Kans., rank ing minority member of the agricul- ture committee, said: "Unless sentl- ment in the House changes or has changed I believe there is a pretty good chance of a veto being oVer- ridden"
 "CooIing of" Period In some congressional quarters, however, it was indicated that the current recess would serve as a "cooling-off" period, and that by September the President may have partially met farm bloc demands for the inclusion of more grain all cohol in the synthetic rubber pro gram.
 Sen. Elmer Thomas, D., Okla, who piloted the bill through the Senate, lent support to this view by stating that "our mission has all ready been fulfilled to great ex- tent"
 Pointing out that the present syn thetic rubber program includes 2Oo.- 900 tons annually to be produced from farm products, he said: What we have been trying to do is to de- velop a permanent demand for farm products"
 ,, It was also noted that the bill was passed in the House without a record vote, thus making 1t easier for members to reverse their stands If they decide not to buck presi- dentiai veto. The measure was passed in the Senate by unanimous voice vote, but only nine senators were in the chamber.
 The bill was sponsored by an

Early in August Connecticut auto mobile dealers, banks and finance companies will begin to list all new commercial motor vehicles in their possession on July 31 as part of the country-wi inventory being undertaken by the War Production Board, 1t was announced through the Hartford Branch Office of War Information today.
 The inventory has been ordered by the WIPES new Commercial Mo- tor Vehicle Inventory Unit, and will cover light, medium and heavy trucks, truck trailers, ambulances, hearses, station wagons, off-the- highway vehicles, truck and bus chassis and vehicles fitted with commercial pickup devices. It will not apply to taxicabs and integral type busses. The WIPE defines as thew" and hence rationable, 8 ve- hicle manufactured after July 31, 1o41 which "has not been trans ferred to any person other than a sales agency for the purpose of re- sale," regardless of the number of miles 1t has been driven.
 A shortage of certain types of trucks and increasing demands for army and navy vehicles make 1t imperative to determine the loca- tion and type of every new com mercial vehicle in the country, 1t was explained.
 All persons possessing new com- mercial vehicles will receive an in- ventory card PD-570, whether the vehicle is for sale or held under a banking or financing company ar- rangement. The card calls for in- formation on the make and num- Der of vehicle in the possession of the person who is required to make the report. This card must be mailed to the Inventory Unit in New York city not later than Aug ust 3.

Second, the university will open a two year school of engineering this fall. This will be spread over four years of evening study and will lead to degree of associate in sci- ence. This will be a two year terminal course, leading to tech nical specialization, particularly for the benefit of the workers in indus try.
 This engineering school will be a short cut school, including the im- portant subjects in the field of en- gineering, without including the complete engineering course, as of- fered on the university campus.
 Third, a wide list of unit courses will be offered, to meet the needs of adult education in greater Wa terbury. While in certain instances, these might be credit courses, in the main they will be non-credit, but certificate will be issued by the university, certifying to the quality of the work.
 It is the aim of the university with the cooperation of the Y. M. c A. to serve any group which de- sires education, such as teachers insurance workers, real estate, bank CTS. industrial, commercial groups and also to provide general cultural courses for the people of this area. Such courses will be held in the late afternoon or evening, once a week.
 Admission for entrance to the freshman classes in general educa- ton, will be the same as the stand ards required at the State Univer- sity campus. Admission to the en- gineering school will require high school graduates, plus a certain amount of mathematics and science. The aim of the engineering course will be not to produce engineers but skilled techncians, of whom it is said, we need about ten to each engineer.
 The school of engineering classes will be held three evenings week. The university will hold it's classes at hours best suited to the needs of greater Waterbury, from o'clock in the afternoon to o'clock at night.

agriculture subcommittee headed by Gillette which charged that petro- leum interests had cornered the market in synthetic rubber despite the fact that it could be made more quickly, and with less expenditure of scarce materials, from grain all cohol.
 Nelson admitted at hearings that if he were starting from scratch he would produce 60 per cent of all synthetic rubber from alcohol, but contended that the present pro- gram = under which grain alcohol would provide only about 25 per cent of the rubber-was too far along to permit drastic changes.
