They came close, and enormous eyes looked at him. He tried to get away but could not. He tried hard to think. He said e-Renee-Renee, over and over. What was happening to her? Maybe she was still lying on the floor behind that locked door. Maybe she was lying in bed-all bloody. He screamed and pushed at Dr. Gordon's race. Then he felt someone hold his hands and force him back on the pillow He knew, he was falling through the pillow through the bed - through the floor m down a long shining tunnel that dwindled away and away to 9 tiny shimmering point. He was rushing violently toward that minute spark at the end of the slippery tunnel
 When he awoke it was dark out side. There was a shaded light in the corner, and someone was in the big rocking chair.
 Anna" He could hardly hear himself-such funny weak croak he madel
 Anna ran to the door. Madame, bite komm'!"
 In a moment his grandmother leaned over him. Paris she said very softly.

 He walked and slept and walked again but never for very long. Then one morning the objects in the room were steadier and clear CT, but the inside of his head was heavy as lead.

 Madame laid one of her wrin- kled litle hands on his. Renee has gone away, Paris"

 His face drew up, but he couldn't cry. "Oh, oh!" he said weakly.

con1scating tires = then obviously Mir. Henderson cannot discriminate against the east. A set of tires worn out is four tires less for the war effort, whether they be used in Maine or in Texas. That, ob- viously, is the theory on which gas ra- tioning on 48-state basis is under seri- ouS consideration.
 ChiSeling by motorists and filling sta- tions, such as became too common in the rationed area under the loose temporary system, is selfish and unneighborly if it merely results in the chisler getting more than his share while others get less. Chiseling under rubber-Saving program, resulting in unnecessary destruction of our pitifully inadequate rubber stockpile, would be unpatriotic Some say it would be reasonable We can't disagree. Therefore we commend MT. Henderson for his efforts to make the new system as nearly foolproof as ingenuity can devise. We hope he will put plenty of penalties behind it's enforcement. And we hope the motoring public will be patriotic enough so that those penalties will not have to be applied.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-06-13
No More Chiseling

Uncle Sam, personified in this instance by Leon Henderson, is deadly earnest about the new gasoline rationing machin- cry now being perfected. Whether it's use is confined to the eastern seaboard or made nationwide, MT. Henderson in- tends to see that there is an end to the sort of chiSeling which has been so easy under the temporary system.
 The setup is designed to see that weekly allowances are fixed on basis of actual need, rather than of convenience or mere personal desire Having allo- cated to each motoriSt what he really is entitled to out of the limited supply, there will be controls over filling stations to assure that the allocationS are re- spected. This would seem not only equitable, but even necessary if federal rationing agencies are to have the respect of the public.
 The need for gasoline rationing in east ern seaboard areas would seem clear, not withstanding the protests of some who haven't considered the facts. The need for its extension to the rest of the coun- try is not so convincing, if gasoline alone $ considered. But if gasoline rationing 6 to be used as method for controlling the unnecessary burning up of rubber

To the Attorney General of Connecti-. cut has been referred the question ot whether or not State Treasurer Frank M. Anastasio will draw his pay as state official while serving in the Army. With out m bringing in any personalities whatso- ever and speaking of this case most i'm personally we can only say that if state officials are allowed to draw pay while serving in the armed forces of Uncle Sam then any employe of a private concern might feel also entitled to draw his pay. There has to be line drawn sooner or later on this business of men going into the service. Either they go in for all US worth or they don't. Thousands of young men have enlisted and been drafted and have given up all sorts of positions. Now we don't see any difference between their enlistment, their drafting or their sum 1l1 mons to serve than that Of public OH ger.

BREAKING DOWN STATE BARRIERS
(Hartford Court)

N44eSA V4OA0 SOAA"
 The decision of all the states to adopt uniform trucking laws is a welcome abandonment of local par- ticulariSm impeding the war effort. The trucking laws, which have held up defense transportation, were a principal source of complaint, but other laws have also had a harm full effect on all-out production. Ships using the in-shore channels have been delayed because they have had to change pilots after passing certain state boundaries. Some states have prohibited the importation of milk and eggs, mak- ing 1t difficult to feed the army. Others have laws restricting the employment of women, thus affect ing war industries.
 By agreeing to uniform trucking laws, the states have solved the first of these problems, but they must continue to take the same attitude toward the remaining restrictions Unless these are also modified, the war program will continue to be hampered by petty regulations that are out of harmony with the all- out character of the war. There is no question of states rights in this matter, just as there is no question of individual rights when a man signs up for the draft. War de- mands sacrifices, both personal and governmental, and they must be made if the country is to come out victorious,
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-06-13
Generally Ineffective

The Bridgeport Post comes to the con- cluSion that this is an ideal time to draw tho curtain completely on motor test ing lanes. Having closed them for the duration they should be left closed per- mamently, because, says the Post, ". ;. |. experience has demonstrated and Cover nor Hurley has quietly recognized the general ineffectiveneSS of the highly ex 'pensive automobile inspection lanes as a means of enhancing safety on the high way. .."
 We were afraid some such ideas would be formed and efforts made if the testing lanes were closed on account of our war time schedules and curtailments. It remains to be seen whether it will be- come a general opinion or simply that of those who never liked the testing lanes and never approved of them on any grounds whatsoever. Quite obviously the battle will have to be fought all over again, perhaps in the Legislature next year, perhaps much later than that.
 On the theory that most drivers are careful ones and their cars are always in good working condition mechanically the Post ScoffS at motor tests. It subjects those who take pride in their motor vehicles and keeps them well serviced to the same tests that the careless driver must undergo. However, the very tests at which the finger of scorn is pointed have proved that great many motorists are unaware of the condition into which cars fall so easily.
 A faulty headlight, a jammed wind shield wiper, brake that slips, all are as easily found in the car which is care fully watched as the one ignored. Incon- venient? Sure the tests were. But so are lots of things, even going to the dent ist, yet if you go on time you may save the aching tooth. Expensive? Not if a quarter saved life. We can't agree that the tests were waste of time nor that they failed to improve driving conditions, records notwithstanding.

Goals of Fire

There was little misunderstood the other day in Washington, D. C., and ice cream peddler John Chowlis made the capitals police department look mighty petty. Chowlis invested quarter on the Plumbers game" ard won $135. Then he went to his friends, the cops, to whom he sold ice cream and candy for living, and tried to buy a $50 war bond. The bluecoats, who hadn't stopped the illegal lottery, wanted no tainted money used to buy bombs to drop on Berlin. They wouldn't sell Chowlis bond or stamps.
 But Chowlis is a Greek. He knows what happened to his native Athens. He persisted until somebody sold him $lOO war bond. As alternative beneficiary he named the Metropolitan Police Relief Association.

Bargain Hunting

Rationing chiefs, from Leon Henderson down, are doing their best to emphasize an important difference between price ceilings, which we have, and price fix ing, which we do not. Under the ceilings, systems, housewives still can shop for bargains.
 The price range on any particular com modity is less than it used to be because the markup margin has been cut. Never theless, the more efficient operators still can i'm prove their competitive position ny underselling. And merchants still can o1- fer loss leaders to entice custom.
