 the time President Coolidge was asked what he thought of a then current and idol-Smashing biography of George Washington. MT. Coolidge replied that he had heard of the book and then, glancing out his of- flee window, added: But, I see that his (Washington's. monument is still there"
 Another new deal wheel horse i1l- timated that he would cast duti- full vote for the anti-indation com promise but would not extend him. self to obtain its approval. It is not likely that this man would run out on Mir. Roosevelt but the fact that he was muttering threats to do SO is indicative of the spirit in which some influential members re- ceived the presidents informal re- buke.
 So far as the anti-infiation bill is concerned, congress evidently did not know as of yesterday evening whether it was acceptable to MT. Roosevelt or not although he had been back in town for more than 24 hours. And that did not tend to calm ruffled feelings around the capitol.
 In fairness to the president, how ever, even some of those bruised most by his press conference re- buke conceded that great many things recently had been said in congress about the president which would have been better left unsaid. But fair-minded or not, lot of corl- greSsmen are variously hurt, annoy ed, angry or reSentful and the inci- dent will not make MT. Roosevelt's future dealings with the hill friend Her although it may not mar them much, either.
 In contrast to his feeling that congress is inclined to butt into war problems, there is some sentiment in congress for permanent, continuing committees to keep the whole war operation under review and investi- gation. That developed in big way during the war between the states.
 Not all members of congress were resentful. Representative Herman Eberharter. D. Pa, said he thought the president was speaking for the country. But Representative John D. Coffee, D., Wash, thought it unfortunate" that the president had not distinguished between his supporters and opponents.
 Representative Voorhis, D., Calif., an administration supporter, said:
 Congress answer to the pres- ident should be for congress to ex- ert constructive leadership in anti cipating and dealing with the ra- tions business of winning the war and the peace to follow. It is true that in 1883 congress passed bills after only 24 hours of consideration. The question remains, however, whether the people really want their national legislature to act in 50 precipitous 8 manner"
 MT. Roosevelt had recalled the speed with which legislation was enacted in the 1883 emergency.

of both combat and non-combat ships is at 8 rate well in excess of more than double Japan's pre-war capacity.
 An unoffiial compilation of Jap- anese ship losses showed that S80 of its warships, al1xiliarieS and non- combatant vessels have been sunk or damaged since Dec. T. This figure was reached with the navy's dis- closure that 12 more ships have been sunk or damaged in the Pa cific by American submarines, anc army bombers. e
 of the overall total, submarines accounted for IS ships-74 sunk, 1e probably sunk and a damaged.
 In the last forays against the enemy's seapower, American sub- marines operating in Japanese dominated waters of the Far East hit eight ships. Five ships-a large seaplane tender, large cargo -pas- senger ship, large freighter and two medislm-sized cargo ships prob- ably were sent to the bottom and q tanker was damaged.
 Army planes carried out i've at tacks in the Aleutians within two days-last Sunday and Monday hit four enemy ships, probably sink- ing two of them.
 These brought the total of Jap- anese ship casualties announced for the past week to I7 sunk or dam- aged. In the last month, the Navy has announced that submarines op- erating against enemy lines have sunk ta ships, probably sunk three others and damaged seven - months beg og 2l.
 A Tecapitulation Of Japaness Shir losseg in the two major scenes of present action ln the Pacific ahCwed that in the solomon Islands al least 70 enemy vessels have been gunk or damaged since Augnsb and 3T in the Aleuilans einco early June.

With winter coming on 1c 1S W- tally important that a large sur plus of metal be gathered. During the cold weather 1t is much more difficult for the junk dealers to handle the metal. Added to that railroad shipping is slowed, making it of primary importance for the Smelters to have great quantities of metal on hand to be used. A short age of scrap at the Smelter means a shortage of steel at a bomb or tank manufacturing concern. If production is slowed up, some boys in the armed forces of this coun- try may be forced to go without some part of his equipment. The single article he is forced to be with out, perhaps a few bullets, or a shell during an artillery barrage, may cost him his life. When searching your home for scrap metal, remem- Der that fact. The extra pound of scrap you turn in during this Uni- ted Newspapers Scrap Metal cam paign may save a soldiers life.
 In Waterbury the entire clergy is solid1y behind the scrap drive. Many have already promised to speak to their various church so- cieties to increase their support of the campaign.
 Rev. John T. D. Franzen, pastor of the West Side Hill Methodist church; Rev. John c. Walker of the Second Congregational church; Rev KennethsB. Anthony, pastor of the First Congregational church; Rev M. webb Wright of the South Fed erated church, and pastors of Cath olic churches and rabbiS of Jewish synagogues have all expressed 6 de- sire to further the scrap campaign
 It Is vital that every fraternal and social organization, church society and club in this city have at least one representative at the scrar metal drive to be held in the Muni- cipal courtroom at the City Hall on Monday, at 7:30 p. m. At the meeting every organization will be told how it can support the metal drive. Plans for group competitions in locating and gathering metal will be empha- sized. The vital need for metal will also be explained so that every per- son will understand more fully why it Is important for him to do even more than his share.
 At present volunteer demolition squads are being formed to break up metal which is too large to ham, dle in one piece. Other groups are being formed to gather the metal into scrap depots in order to make collection simpler. Hundreds of workers are needed for this task.
 Another person has offered his property for use as scrap depot Charles Ahearn, former superin- tendent of the city's fire alarm sys- tenn has offered his land at 221 Tracy avenue. The use of these scrap depots will greatly speed ur collection on the date of the big drive, Oct. IT.

Patsy wasn't the only youngster who wanted to do more than his share. Donald Boyes, IA years old and the son of MT. and Mrs. Frank BoyeS of $50 East Main street, called, the newspaper asking what he could do for the scrap drive in addition to his Junior Commando activities. Donald is now going to organize his own company of Commandos to really search his neighborhood for scrap metal. His brother Charles, who is now serving in the Marines, is in some unknown location.
 What with gasoline and tire ra- tioning, people are beginning to think that the best thing to do with their cars is to- turn them into the scrap drive. William Hunter of Bucks Hill, Albert Brooker of West Main street, Archie Blondin of Wolcott road and Robert Hunter of Spindle Hill have all offered cars for salvage. The H. w. ConnO1 Go. is turning in a half ton panel truck body, Jake's Auto Body Go. is sur- rendering an auto body together with extra lenders and bumpers and the New York Auto Body Co. ise donating about . ton of old auto parts.

 Among other items being turned in for the scrap drive are a 2OO- pound refrigerator by M. F. Madden of "A Elmwood avenue and two 50- pound house boilers by Mrs. s. Blumenfeld of 178 Chestnut avenue.
 He had to write a letter to the president first; but Patsy DeLucia, 15 year old son of Mir. and rMs. Carmine DeLucia of 1447 Bank street, flnall achieved his wish. He is singing over the radio to sell war bonds. Patsy's first program was this morning over VERY. He not only sang to sell war bonds, but to aid the scrap metal campaign. As his guest he invited Miss Celine Rooster, g member of the Repub- ncan stan, to speak on the scrap campaign.

 While Douglas A-20 attack bomb CTS and fighters were bombing and machine gunning enemy positions along the trail through the Ower Stanley Mountains, Bell Airacobra fighter planes equipped with bomt racks almost destroyed the Wairop bridge which had been damaged several times.
 The Australian ground forces whC had driven the enemy back from the Ioribaiwa Village area S2 ail line miles from the Allied base 01 Port Moresby in New Guinea passed Menari, last Japanese base on the Port Moresby side of the mountains yesterday.
 They had scaled the 3,500-fooi razorback peak between Nauro and Menari, descended a steep.1 800 mile slope to take Menari and started unpward again, caked to the knee with mud and dripping with rain and sweat, toward a 4,650 foot ridge and the 7,500-foot Hump of the mountains.
 The Japanese were retreating with all speed at last reports, leav- ing all sorts of light equipment and supplies and, for the first time, the bodies of their dead, mostly killed by allied planes.
 No contact had yet been made with the enemy main body and snipers alone impeded the Austra- Han advance except for the formid- able natural barriers which con- fined progress almost to a crawl.
 The Australians were now some 34 miles from the Ioribaiwa Village sector, the limit of the enemy ad- vance toward Port Moresby, and only about five long and difficult miles from the hump of mountains.
 It was evident that the Japanese must soon make stand or retire to the northern slopes of the moun- tainS from which they started their drive toward Port Moresby last month. There was some expectation that they might defend the trump.

 Construction Lags
 Construction work fell down dur. ing the month of September partly because of the lack of available nla- terial but mostly because most of the physical expansion of industries has been nearly completed. A total of 26 persons were placed in con- struction or farm work during Sep- tember as compared to i20 during August. Service placements during the month were z6 while in August they numbered 42.
 During last month S70 new appli- cations were received and e2T were renewed making the total on file 1897 as compared to i.eel for August. Placements made totaIed 75s. a decrease Of iee. Of that num- Der SsI were women.

 including Associate Supreme Court Justice James F. Byrnes, Attorney General Francis Riddle, Budget Di- rector Harold D. Smith, Price Boss Leon Henderson, Lend-Lease Admin istrator Harry L. Hopkins, and con- gressional leaders.
 An unexplained hitch developed and the White House subsequently announced that any executive or ders that statements would be is- sued today. Some conferees had the impression that they would mol be issued until Monday.
 The president did not get all he wanted from Congress but he emerged from a struggle with the potent farm bloc with far wider powers to control agricultural prices than he had before. He also got 8 Congressional directive to stabilize wages-instructions which he had not sought but policy which he had promised the legislators he would institute as soon as he ob- tained control over farm prices.
 The legislation does not demand that the president freeze" wages. He Is authorized to make subse- quent adjustments in wages to correct cross inequities' or to laid in the effective prosecution of the war;" Under the measure he has authority not only to raise but to lower wages, even wage schedules negotiated through collective bar gaining.
 However, the president is pro- hibited from cutting wages or sal- aries below the highest level reached between January 1 and September IS of this year, unless he finds that increases during that period represent gross inequities and are harmful to the war effort. Violators of presidential wage and salary regulations are subject to a fine of $l,O0O.
 The same flexible power pertains to agricultural prices. No price ceilings may be fixed on any farm product at less than 100 per cent of parity, or at a lower level than the highest price received by pro- ducers between January and Sep- tember IS, 1e42. whichever is high est. Commodities processed in whole or in substantial part from farm products are included in this restriction.
 The original statute barred cell ing prices until farm prices had reached no per cent of parity. This rendered the Ofiice of Price Admin istration powerless to control prices of these products which continued to rise in price and ultimately coni- pelled OPA to revise upward its general price ceilings at the cost of the consumer.
 In his demand to Congress. Mir. Roosevelt said the farmer should be assured only of parity prices. But the farm bloc forced through both houses legisiation which directed the president to modify" farm prices only 4 necessary to increase production and to take into con- alteration the increase in farm labor costs since January 1, ieti.
