 BUSSES AVAILABLE
They Must Carry 45O,OOO Workers to Production

Hartford, Conn.,, May 25 - (U.P.) Less than 1000 busses are avail able to transport more than 450,00O workers in Connecticut's six major war production centers, 1t was dis closed today.
 State Public Utilities Commission CT Joseph P. O'Connell predicted that, as the tire and gasoline short- age becomes more difi1cult, many workers will have to walk to their jobs because of the shortage of bus transportation.
 He said the walking probably would be confined to those who live near factories.
 We are faced with a serious problem" Commissioner O'Connell said, land we must start immediate ly to tackle it."
 Norris Ford, manager of the Man. ufacturer'S Association of Connecti- cut, said each automobile now going to an industrial plant should be carrying 3:5 passengers. But, he told a transportation forum, the average was far below that.
 Professor. Wesley Sturges of Yale University, @ member of the State defense councils consumer commit tee. gave this advice:
 Tt is smart to walk and keep in step with the times"

LIBRARIANS IN
 STATE SESSION
Miss Barrett of Waterbury to Preside at Important
 Wartime Conference

The Connecticut Library associa- ton will meet in Centinel Hill Hall in Hartford, Connecticut on May 26. Miss Emelyn Barrett, president of the association, will preside. The theme and substance of the meet ing has been stated in the wartime policy of the American Library Association and incorporated in the presidents message.
 "The United States is at war. The country requires of every profession as of every citizen the, utmost in- telligence, realism and devotion.
 Tn a time of war there are cer- tain duties which libraries can best perform.
 Every library must organize its services and expenditures without delay to meet the necessities of a nation at war. Each library activity must stand a triple scrutiny? Will 1t contribute to victory? Will it help to make better America? will it help to make @ better void? What ever Tails to meet this test must yield to things more urgent.
 "Omcially or unomcially, every library must become a war infor- nation center in which are cur- rently available the latest facts, re- ports, directories, regulations and instructions for public use. The lirgencies of wartime will frequently require immediate information and quick decisions. The library must therefore step up the tempo of its service. It must foresee and prepare to meet such demands.
 "The library must supply techni- cal information to industrial defense workers and students. Treatises, manuals and periodicals must be given opportunity-by librarians-to expedite the production of war ma- aterials. Engineers, inventors and designers must be assisted by nbrari- ans, to avoid doing over again what has already been well done and recorded. Foremen and instruc- tors must be aided-by librarians in avoiding slow and costly ways of training apprentices in matters that may be learned quickly from the printed page.
 "The library must help to relieve the strain of war, by maintaining its supply of recreational reading, for men and women, and especially for children.
 "The library must help and sup- port postwar planning. Our na- ton now has two-fold purpose-to win the war and with the victory to help establish world order of decency, security and human dig nifty. Librarians can help to pre- pare the American people for wise deciaaorls on these nnomentous ques- tions by making known factual in- formation, sounnd ideas, and rat- tional proposas."
