PROTEST FILED
 ON GAS BAN
ALA Head Claims Admin. istratiOn Has Bungled
 Gas, Oil in N. E.

Boston, Dec. 18-.- (UP)--General Manager William A. Thibodeau of the Automobile Legal Association to- day wired a protest to Petroleum Administrator Harold L. Ickes charg- ing that the administration had bungled the gasoline and fuel oil situation in New England.
 The plan to suspend "A" gasoline ration books, his telegram stated, lis generally believed by the public to be merely a pretext to cover up the stupidity of this administrators conduct of the oil heating situation" :"
 Asserting that many war workers never have been able to obtain more than "A" books, he said the threat ened procedure will seriously crip- pie the war effort in New England"
 Moreover, the telegram read, it should be remembered that elem ination of the "A" book will ser- iously reduce the necessary mileage of "B" and 70" book holders.
 "It is essential that machinery be set up immediately to allow gasoline for vital defense workers holding only "A" books and also other "A" book holders whose auto- mobiles are essential to their live lihood," the wire said. Otherwise, 1t added, @ breakdown in the New Eng land transportation structure would result.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-12-18

For the convenience of Waterbur- ians who have not had time to i'll their gift boxes for soldiers, sailors, and marines stationed in the New England area, Judge Patrick Healey, chairman of the "Share Your Christmas" drive, today extended the deadline to Monday afternoon at 5 o'clock. Judge Healey said, how ever, that no further continuance could be given after Monday, as gov- ernment trucks will call at the local depot in the lobby of the City Hall to collect all packages.
 800 Boxes
 About 300 of the local quota of l. 200 packages have already been left at the City Hall, and several organ nations in the city are expected to make their returns later today, boosting the total to a mark well over the prescribed figure. The chairman pointed out that the dead- line was continued at the request of many individuals and clubs who claimed that in the Christmas shop ping rush they did not have time to put the final touches on their boxes. Solicitors for the various organiza- tions, canvassing for Share Your Christmas" packages throughout the city, report that cooperation on the part of housewives has been most

 The federal governments order eliminating all but the most essen- t!al driving in IT eastern states brought reactions from motorists to- day ranging from those who quietly padlocked their garages to those who clamored at filling stations for few more gallons.
 All night gasoline stations in Miami, Fla, did a booming business after motorists heard radio report that A cards would be cancelled af- ter midnight. Boston on the other hand, reported that the weather kept gasoline business in Massachusetts to less than normal,
 Tn New York City motorists ap- parently needed warning by May or F. H. LaGuardia' that he was ready to invoke state and federal laws unless private automobiles were kept in garages. The streets were being cleared rapidly of automobiles bearing "A" stickers on windshields,
 La Guardia's appeal against runs" on neighborhood dealers also appar- ently bore fruit, A canvass of gaso- line station proprietors in Manhat- tan and the Bronx indicated there was no rush.
 Estimates were that as the few remaining drops in automobile tanks were used up within the next few days, approximately 70 per cent or 5,000000 of the eastern states auto- mobiles would be of the streets.
 The elimination of private cars in New York was expected to jam suhways, busses and commuters trains-especially during this holi- day season. Christmas deliveries were being continued today by the big department stores, though cus- toners were being urged to carry their own packages. The poctoffice reported 1t had gasoline supplies for three days,
 Raleigh, N. C., reported that most filling stations there were damned,
 Tn Atlanta, Ga, the cancellation of A-couponS was announced pre- mateurely by Harry A. Sommers, re- gional Office of Price Administra- tion executive and radio broadcasts of his announceemnt created an ab- normal rush up until midnight.
 Gasoline distributors in Hartford, Conn, were pooling their supplies and they asked motorists not to be- come "panicky".
 While Miami, Fla, operators re- ported booming business last night, they said today 1t appeared to have returned to normal.
 Jersey City, N. J., noted slight increase in gasoline sales. A-card holders were buying in anticipation of the suspension, according to Perry Weinstein, president of the

COURT APPROVES.
 DIVIDEND OF 5%.
Judge Wynne Sanctions Recommended Transfer
 of Funds for Savings

An additional dividend of five per cent will be paid to savings deposi- tors of the Merchants Trust O., &C., cording to action approved today by Superior Court Judge Kenneth Wynne. Counsel for the bank re- quested permission to transfer S7,0O0 from the commercial department to the savings division, stating $76,- 020 were needed to pay the dividend but assets of the savings department at the present time are S69,oS5.57.
 Indebtedness of Hyman and Annie Kertzner to the bank, totaling more than S700 will be compromised with 0 payment of $200 and assignment of small commercial account, acc cording to permission granted by the court today.
 Attachments made by the bank on property owned by John H. Walsh and Dorothy Kast Walsh at 16-l8 and 39 Merrill street will be released The court was informed mortgage releases had been filed on the prop erty, formerly owned by Mrs. Ellen Hayes, and the attachments, first entered against Mrs. Hayes, consti. tuted @ cloud on the title ot the petitioners.

gratifying, but many feel that the time allotted has been insufficient.
 Judge Healey said today that the response of clubs and organizations to the campaign has been wonder ful. Although many of them have preferred ot make their contribu- tions anonymously, some, such as the Chase Foremens association, Waterbury chapter of Girl Scouts of America, Disabled Veterans, and Florio Post, have sent delegations along to present the packages to Judge Healey. The Howland- Hughes Go. today furnished several huge cartons for packing the boxes, and 1t is understood that employees of the store are preparing more than 50 gift packages for the drive.
 Merchants Cooperating
 Local merchants, shoe store man. agers in particular, informed Chair. man Healey that they are willing to cooperate to the best of their ability by furnishing boxes by 5 by to those wishing to contribute to the drive. The boxes can be had by calling at the stores any time be- fore the Monday deadline, the chair man explained.
 Particular stress was placed on the fact that perishables must be ruled out as gifts, owing to the de- lay in delivery. It was pointed out that the only edibles to be included in the boxes are hard candy and peanuts.
 Meanwhile, amid the hustle of the campaign and the atmosphere of Yuletide cheer, Probate Court func- tioned as usual, although the outer ofi1ce was continually receiving tele- phone calls as to particulars of the drive. Judge Healey's efficient staff is performing creditably indeed, un- der the stress of the campaign, and the girls are acquiring experience in the art of copying with one eye on the paper and the other on the of Christmas packages.

Time Extended For Remembrances To Men In Service
Fitzmaurice Ruled
 "Out" As Candidate

Any possibility that John P. Fitxmaurice, executive secretary to Mayor Vincent A. Scully, will be appointed to the board of ale dermen to All am expected vacancy was ruled out teAAy by the mayor.
 "There Is absolutely nothing to such storles," said Mir. Scully. In the event that there should he a vacancy, Mir. Fitxmaurice will not be appointed"
 It was disclosed yesterday that a number of party leaders be- lieved that Mir. Fitxmaurice would be appointed to the board to re- place Alderman John s. MOnagan, who Is expected to resign soon to accept appointment to the stan of the Alien Property Custodian's office In New York.
 Arguments for the appointment of Mir. Fltzmaurice were based on his experience in public life and on the obvious need of the Democratic majority on the board for a quick thinking parliamentar- ian.
 Mayor SculIy was vehement In denying the reports.

 During Coming Year

With food supplies in this city de- creasing, local ration officials have started plans for the inception of wider rationing next year. It is be. lieved r4 at and possibly butter will be rat. & d early next year.
 Butter supplies in this city have decreased considerably as many housewives report inability to pur- chase any, and inferior grades have been in evidence at many stores. Restaurants have started to elimi- nate second helpings of butter.
 No information regarding issuance of Ration Book 2 which is expected to apply to any additional commod- ities has been received by the local ration board as yet.

GROCERS WANT
 BUTTER RATIONED

New York, Dec. IS - tUP) - Retail grocers were considering an appeal to the office of price admin istration today for compulsory ra- tioning of butter as they reported their available supplies only half the normal amount.
 A. F. Guckenberger, executive sec- retary of the New York State Food Merchants Association, was in Washington today to confer with OPA officials.
 Both independent retailers and representatives of leading food chains said they were limiting cus- toners to one pound at a time. Tn some stores, the shortage was so acute. butter was being sold with a quarter pound limitation.
