vacation schedules. Although Sev- lral others of the board had ex- pressed opposition to the proposal af the policemen, MT. Ploski was the only one who voted on his measure.
 MT. Ploski, in making the motion, explained he saw no emergency which would make the policemen give up their vacations at present to provide additional protection here.
 Warden Leo J. Brophy. during the discussion, said it would not be much additional cost to the town hs far as the Police Department is concerned, as supernumeraries are paid to replace the regulars when the latter are on vacation, but he reminded that the board must con- slider the possibility of other de- partments, such as the street and fire departments, asking the same lining. Tn those latter two depart ments, he said, there is nobody hired to replace the men on vaca- tion. This would mean consider able cost of such employees wanted two weeks extra pay. Burgess An drew O'Toole estimated it would be about $1,200 for the street de- partment alone.
 Other Depts. Mentioned
 Warden Brophy took the stand that the board should be fair to all <Jn 1s4v N'Tnn1a caiI 1o did not think the budget could stand the cost of taking care of all departments. MT. Ploski said he did not see any urgent emergency which should cause policemen to give up vacations. Police Chief John J. Gormley told the board all of his supernumeraries are working at least eight hours a day in pri- vate industry, and some are work three SupernumerarieS stationed as guards at the Risdon Manufactur- ing company plant has been forc- ed to give up the work because he could not do it and his private work also. MT. Gormley pointed out that most cops not only get IA days or IA nights off but also an addi- tional two days, to which they are entitled. It would be asking much to have a supernumerary, who is working in private industry, work this length of time, he indicated.
 Burgesses O'Toole and Ploski sug- gested staggering work. It was re- vealed by the chief there are 10 active supernumeraries now, and it was suggested he have these fill in for two or three-day periods on va cations.
 Burges Anthony Tangredi asked how the proposal came about, querying as to whether the chief had asked the policemen to give up their vacations. Chief Gormley quickly replied: 'It is their own do- ings. I'm taking my own vacation" and denied he had asked police to sacrifice theirs. Burgess Rudolph Anderson only participated in the discussion once, this being to sug- gest the police let the regulars take their vacations and call them back if he needed them. This sug- gestion was not supported by the other burgesses
 Police Car Matter
 Warden Brophy said that he and the chief in Investigating the mat ter of buying new car for the po- lice department had found that the car would cost, even with a turn in, more than the $500 appropriated in the budget. They hope to get lower price and will continue this.

Gloomy Prospect
is Cited by Price
Administrator

WASHINGTON. Jan. 3-(R
Drastic wartime regulations
which already have halted sale of
new automobiles and cut tire
and tube sales to the general
public by 30 per cent may be ex-
tended to include commander
ing of cars for use by the Armed
Forces or in essential civilian
services.
Price Administrator Leon Hen
derson said that although the
government will refrain from
such action as long as possible,
requisitioning of cars owned by
persons who have no vital need
for them was the gloomy pros
pect" for the future.
Henderson explained that only
$4,000 new cars will be avail
able for sale to private consum-
ers after automobile production
is shut down next month for the
duration of the war. This num-
Der will be insufficient to meet
the demands of physicians and
surgeons, police, fire depart
ments and other protective agen-
cies or the need for ambulances.
HOT QUESTION
This means eventual govern
ment requisition of private cars,
Henderson, said. He COMMENDED
however that Germany and Eng
land had not yet been forced to
commander cars and said 1t was
"hot" question.
The CLIO took full page adver-
tisements in Washington and
New York newspapers to publi-
CHE its frequently repeated con-
tention that the automobile in
dustry had failed to enter about
production of war goods despite
labor's urging.
The advertisement, in the
form of an open letter to the
OPM, said that $50, 900 automo-
bile workers were idle now and
that a total of 40L, 900 would be
idle by the end of January.
Signed by Philip Murray, Go
president, the letter said Union
proposals for about production
would be placed before the OPM
