GREW WITH CITY

From the time he was born on
Jan. s. 1862, in a house which
stood at Monroe and Wells streets,
now in the heart of the downtown
section, Cuneo's life grew and ex-
banded with that OF his native
city.
The development OF ,Chicago's
great fruit auction market and
distribution center and of the now

on the north side resulted from
Cuneos foresight.

Is gas rationing accomplishing its aim in Connecticut?
 Judging from figures released to- day by State OPA Director Chester Bowles, the answer is emphatical- ly "Yes."
 During August, the first month wholly covered by the gasoline ra- tioning program, consumption was cut 42 per cent below that of the corresponding period of 1941, Bowles announced.
 "A year ago, the consumers in this State used 41,431, ,199 gallons of gas in August" the OPA chief said "This August, the rationing program reduced that figure to 23,862, ,2l6 gall Ions, saving of 17,56s.98 gallons
 The figure is doubly significant against the fact that there are more passenger and commercial ve- hicles registered in Connecticut this year, than last, Bowles added.
 Translating the reduced gas con sumption into patriotic terms, he declared "this sacrifice on the part ,, of the people has helped our wal effort tremendously by releasing many oil tankers and tank cars for service with our armed forces"
 "A large, sea-going tanker car carry nearly half million gallons of gas and oil," he said. "Copput- ing from the statistics at hand Connecticut's saving in August has

said on the House floor, "that these alleged inspection trips of the pres ident always seem to occur just be- fore the elections come along"
 Senator John Thomas, R.. Ind, said the presidents tour "srnacks of playing politics in the midst of war" and Rep. John Taber, R., N r., declared it was purely a cam paign trip, nothing else"
 For those who charged politics the president had an answer. He said he had seen no candidates for national offlce, no state party chair men, and no state Democratic com- mitteemen. He did see II governors seven Democratic and four Re- publican-but not all of them, he said, are up for reelection.
 Washington correspondents repre- senting newspapers of news bureaus, protested formally to the president against his refusal to take them on the journey.
 The three news men who accom- panied the president were repre- sentatives of the United Press, As sociated Press, and Internattona. News Service. They were not per- mitted to publish any stories about the trip until after MT. Roosevelt had returned to Washington and had held a press conference at which he described the tour to the newspapermen who had been left behind.
 A letter addressed personally to the chief executive was delivered at the white House by a committee ot f1ve-Roscoe Drummond of the Christian Science Monitor, Richard L. Wilson of the Des Moines Regis7 ter and Tribune, Raymond Clapper, columnist; Ernest K. Kindley of Newsweek magazine, and Alexander F. Jones of the Washington Post.
 The letter, signed by 35 news papermen in all, asserted that nc explanation had been given for the White House refusal to permit ac- credited correspondents to make the trip and contended that suppression of news of the tour during MT Roosevelt's absence was neither necessary nor wise, inasmuch as many thousands of persons knew the presidents whereabouts.
 The committee of five said the letter was prepared after inquiries to White House secretary Stephen T. Early, censor Byron Price ano war information director Elmer Davis failed to elicit what the newspapermen considered a satis- factory explanation of the restric- tions imposed.
 Although the letter was moi mentioned, President Roosevelt saic at his press conference yesterday that one reason newspapermen photographers and newsreel mer were not taken along was that te do so would have required two ol three trains to accommodate them
 MT. Roosevelt also disclosed tha he, personally, read all the dis patches prepared by the press asso citation men aboard his train. H' said, however, that he added sey eral interesting touches.

released more than 35 such tankers for essential war supply service. That's better than a tanker day. That's an excellent example of how the combined efforts of everybody, no matter how small, aggregate an astonishing striking power.
 When I saw these figures and realized their full impact. I was strengthened in my belief that the citizens of Connecticut are solidly behind the war effort.
 Not only are they assisting in re- ducing traffic on rail and sea, but in curtailing their own driving they are conserving our limited stocks of rubber"

LAWRENCE
 GUEST SPEAKER
Former Local Salvation Army Worker Returning
 for Days Visit

Lieutenant Thomas A. Lawrence, now attached to the Hartford divi- sional headquarters of The Salva- tion Army, has been invited to the Waterbury corps all day Sunday, October 11th.
 Lieutenant Lawrence's objective while assisting Major Wiberg in the services of the day, held a. 10 a. m. 4 p. m., and 8 p. na., will be to stim- ulate interest and cooperation among the young people of the corps in the Spiritual Offensive on the Home Front" being carried on through the fall and winter months in every corps of the territory. At 4 in the afternoon he will speak to some of the older young people who have been specially invited, and the meeting will take the form of a panel discussion.
 Major Wiberg is being guided in his efforts along these lines by a letter recently received from Com missioner Ernest I. Pugmire, in which he says: No longer are wars confined to the battlefronts of tie world. They are fought in the fac- tory, the shipyards, the office, and the home and the school. The Home Front has become as important as the battlefront. Realizing this, the Salvation Army has outlined plan to afford young people the maxi mum opportunity to make valuable contributions to the emergency. We propose no new organizations for youth. But we do propose to gear our total youth program into the ac- tion of the hour in plan to be known as Youth Victory Service" Through this plan thousands of boys and girls will be given opportunities to keep the Home Front strong through existing Salvation Army youth organizations. They will par ticipate in group activities designed to develop them mentally, physical ly and spiritually. They will work as groups and as individuals on emergency projects as outlined by our National Government from time to time"
 Major Harold A. zealley, division al commander in Hartford, has in- structed Major Wiberg to attend a special council in Hartford, Sunday, October 18th at 2, when the officers of the division will meet to report on what has been done and to make further plans.

Bridgeport, Conn, Oct. 2.-(UP) -The Republican city convention 1t was reported reliably today, may endorse the Democratic candi- dates for the state Senate and House, when the call for nOmir1a- tlons is made tomorrow.
 This strategy was aimed at de- feating the Socialist candidates for three Senate seats, and two seats in the House .. Democrats now control these seats.
 Republicans, 1t was reported, felt that endorsement of the Demo- cratic candidates would break up a serious threat by Socialist May or Jasper McLevy to again obtain q foothold In the Legislature, such as he had several sessions ago when he held tho balance of pew CT ln the Senate.

Treasury Opposes Change
In War Contract Statute
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Treasury Department backed
up the Army today in It's opposition
to replacing the present war contract
renegotiation law with a fiat limita-
ton on war profits.
IF you adopt fat profit limita-
ton you have done nothing about
controlling COSTS" Robert Lee Eich-
holz, assistant tax legislative counsel
for the Treasury, told a Senate
Finance Subcommittee studying wal
profits limitations.
"As a matter of fact you might
make the situation worse he added
He testified that Treasury experts
believed the existing law furnished
"the best mechanism we have been
able to think Of to hold down the
cost of the tools of war.
"A profits limitation only cuts
down the or 10 or Is per cent that
goes to profits" Mr.. Eichholz said
TT leaves the other IS or 80 per
cent to ride free"
Committee Chairman George has
asked the subcommittee to study q
proposed substitute for the present
law. The Army. Navy and Maritime
Commission were reported to look
favorably on some of the perfecting
amendments proposed by Senator
George, but apparently we're strongly
opposed to his suggestion that ex-
cessive profits should be determined
only after subtraction of all Federal
income and excess profits taxes and
to a provision that in no event
shall such profits be deemed to
be excessive If less than per cent
of volume"
