ALERT OFFICER
 MAKES CAPTURE
Break in South Main Street Store Frustrated-Sus.
 pect Bound Over

For the second time in two weeks, Patrolman James Stack got his man, this time after he had smashed Q huge plate glass window in the P & e Shop on South Main street last night. The man, John Ma honey, 34, of 2SS Bank street, was bound over to superior court under bonds of $i,000 when arraigned be- Judge T. E. Conway in municipal court this morning, on @ charge of attempted breaking and entering.
 Patrolman Stack told the court that he first saw Mahoney ap- proach the Fisher Luggage O., on South Main street, but said that apparently the man could not gain admittance to the store. After that, the officer testified, Mahoney walked toward the Center, pausing in front of the P & c Shop. In moment, the crash of breaking glass snapped the late evening stiffness, and Of- ficer Stack saw the man run away from the store. He gave chase and soon apprehended him.
 Pros. William K. Lawlor com mended Stack for his vigilance stating to the court that the of- fense was magnified by reason oi the fact that downtown stores are now dinmed out in compliance with ruling of the defense commission Prosecutor Lawlor recalled that less than two weeks ago, Patrolman Stack and Joseph Flaherty captured trio who had participated in a number of holdups in the vicinity of School street.
 Other municipal court cases and their dispositions follow:
 Frederick B. DreM, 4l, of 453 Wolcott street, charged with viola tion of the sanitary code, was grant, ed continuance until Dec. 5. Drexel was also questioned by FBI agents concerning his alleged failure to register for Selective service.
 Clement Gowdy, l9, of Portland, Me, who unwittingly tried to sell a c gasoline coupon to Patrolman Edmund Cass, was given another day to think matters over, as his case was continued until tomorrow
 Charles Grant, 52, of 237 Pied mont street, booked on a charge of reckless driving, was also given a continuance until tomorrow.

determination should be executed through the existing agencies of the U. S. Employment Service, the War Labor Board. the War Production Board. and the Department of La- bor. The general result has been that what was everybody's b"siness rested on nobody's authority. Con. gress and the public have come to mistrust the Man Power Commis- sion because its accomplishments have been in the inverse order of its assumed powers. It is rated as a political body which has an orna- mental figure head over its "co- operative" methods. This kind of an organization cannot function in time of war which demands Crscisvie and speedy action with authority behind 1t.
 The War Labor Board Las as- sumed and (until the appointment of the Economic Stabilization Con- mittee under Justice Byrres) had exercised the power to administer vague definitions of wage policies such as those contained in the Little Steel" and other decisions. These wage policies will vitally af- feet, If not control. industrial en- listments. The War Production Boa r d, through its chief. MT. Nelson, has undertaken to freeze employment in certain industries and areas, which would seem to be function of the Man Power Commission.
 The Social Security Administra- ton, through its control of the U. s. Employment Service. is eXercis- ing certain very essential functions in assigning volunteers and trans fers to various types of jobs in in dustry.
 Among all these agencies none has exercised the power to define the general policy which is abso- iutely essential for the direction of the whole.
 Finally, the Elmer yency Stabiliza- ton Committee should become the over all authority to deal with man power. This problem, as re- gards its direction. is one, indivisi- ble problem. We earnestly hope that the responsibility for it's con- trol will be exercised by Justice Byrnes, chairman of the Stabiliza- tion Committee: and that whatever delegation of authority is found necessary to control man power be put in the hands of single head. Any other solution will lead to the continuance of the present con fusion. inefi'ciency and delays be- tween conflicting interests.

Shipments Of Grain
 Arriving In Greece
Swedish Ships Carrying Needed FOOdstuffs From Can-
 ada-President Files Statement

With the expected arrival in Greece next week of two of the eight Swedish ships now carrying grain between Canada and that country, total of seventy-eight thousand tons of foodstuffs will have been borne on those ships since their schedule began last August. This was stated by SpyroS F Skouras, National President of the Greek War Relief Association, in a report presented at the annual meeting of the association at 7:3o Fifth Avenue Tuesday afternoon.
 Among those present were the Most Reverend Athenagoras, Arch bishop of the Greek OrahtdoS Church of North and South Ameri- ca; K. P. Tsolainos, National See- retary; Mrs. Lytle Hull, chairman of the Women's Committee; Joseph Jf Larkin, National treasurer; & Gregory Taylor, New York Regional Director; and Colonel Henry Breck- inridge, chairman of the New York City committee. Members of the executive committee and board of directors heard reports by the pres- ident, secretary and treasurer.
 Pledges Important
 SkouraS reminded members of 2 pledge made at the first annua, meeting of the association taht ef. forts would not cease so long al there is starvation in Greece, anc declared:
 For the people of Greece tn, year that has passed has been year of misery perhaps unequallee in the history of humanity.
 After the German occupation oi Greece, many felt that this aSSo- citation was doomed and dead" Skouras said. This viewpoint, how ever, was not accepted and despite all obstacles, through perseverance and unceasing effort, means were found to ship food into occupied Greece.
 Nov, as a result, eight mercy ships regularly carry foodstuffs to thousands of deservingetaoinshrdl Greece, providing subsistence to thousands of deserving Greeks who otherwise would perish by starva- tion."
 Skouras warned that these ship ments provide nothing beyond the barest sustenance. He compared the fifteen thousand to seventeen thou sand tons now being shipped with the one hundred thousand tons oi foodstuffs imported each month fl normal times to supplement the ma. tional Greek food supply. He ap' pealed for militant and unceasins effort to increase the aid being sem to the starving Greeks.
 Thanks were expressed for thu sympathetic attitude of Presiden Roosevelt, for cooperation received from Acting Secretary of Stat Sumner Welles, and others in thu tSate Department and to the Presi dents War Relief Control Board fo their encouragement and coopera ton.
 Treasurer's Report
 The report of Treasurer Joseph J Larkin revealed that the association disbursed $5,454,737 for relief of tn people of Greece during the tw years of it's existence. Contribu tions received amounted to $6,l44, 89l. In the fund-raising compaig, now being conducted by the asso citation, two hundred and forty four community war chests hay included the Greek War Relief Asso citation with a total commitmen quota of $2,235.752. Sixty y-fou chests have decided to includ Greek War Relief. but have not ye set quotas, and ninety-seven other are considering inclusion.

HEALTH BOARD | SEEKS OPINION
Commissioners Take Con. trary Views on Report.
 ing Cancer Cases

The board of health voted last night to seek the state medical as- sociation's opinion as Co the ethics of Q suggestion offered by pr, Charles l., Larkin, that the physi. clan, upon discovering & case oi cancer, should reveal the fact to the local health department So that continual checks could be made on the case,
 pr. Larkln's suggestion Is that neither the patient nor his family be told of the existence of cancer, but that such information should be conveyed to the health officer, To assure that treatment preecrib- ed by the physician would be follow ed carefully, pr. Larkin recommend ed that the health department, through Its nurses, follow up the case.
 In the opinion of pr. Edward H, Kirschbaum, such action on the part of & physician would be not only contrary to the ethics of the medical profession, but also contrary to the laws of the state. A letter read at last nights session from Atty, Walter Torrance, legal representa-. tive of the medical association, stated that he had examined the laws and could not find that such procedure was Illegal.

RULING INCLUDES
 EVERY STATE CAR
Complaints Filed About Full Headlights in Dim.
 Out Areas

To make effective ordefs from the First Service Command of the United tSates Army, every motor vehicle registered or operated in Connecticut must have the upper half of its headlights obscured even though 1t is in use in an unrestricted area, Motor Vehicles Commissioner John T. Mccarthy explained today
 The Motor Vehicles Department has received a number of com plaints from police that drivers from unrestricted areas are driving into dim-out areas with full headlights the commissioner said.
 The ruling that every car in use in the state have the upper half of zach headlight lens completely ob- scured by black paints, tape, or other opaque material" was made to in- clude Il cars so that there would be no chance of drivers entering dim-out areas without being pre- pared to conform to regulations.
 The ruling resulted from new regulations made by the State De- ferse Council which in turn are in compliance with army orders. Com missioner Mccarthy concluded.

 No amount of m,en, munitions and supplies will win the war if we cannot deliver and maintain them where and when they are needed "'Ff'e problem is to have the right people in the right place at the right time" This balance of fac tors is the problem of man power To attempt to solve it from the point of view of any single require ment is to produce an unbalance which may throw the whole system out of gear. The methods used in securing the best enlistment Of man power are also in condition of confusion.
 The Selective Service System, [ Ter General Hershey. has drafted most of the men in the army, while the navy, ir force and coast guard are still depending on volunteers They wish to continue to do so be- cause it gives them. in quality of men, the pick of the force. The army wishes to continue to draft all men. Tn the meantime, the draft boards are controlling the taking of men out of industry and agri- culture. The blame for the draft ing into the army of industrial ex- perts essential for war industries does not lie at the floor of the To- cal draft boards. but rather to the lack of a national policy in deal ing with this problem.
