 Despite the emergency physicians, hospital administrators and public health officials hove been reluctant Co relax standards which have Tee suited for several years in Q very low maternal death rate for the state. According to Doctor oMalley, at a special meeting Of the Public Health Committee of the State Medical Society and representatives of the Connecticut Hospital Asso- clation, 1t was agreed that because of overcrowding oven more strict regulations and professional vigil- anoe should be instituted.
 The following recommends tions made by the Committee of the State Medical Society to meet the sltua- ton have been forwarded by the State Department of Health to every hospital administrator in the state:
 1. Any patients whose homes can provide adequate care for the mother and baby (such aa those of private and Semi-private patients) should be discharged from the hos- pital as early as the fourth pcst- partum day.

Highway Travel Cut
35% in II States,
Survey Disc|oses
Virginia Leeds Decline;
Cos Tax Revenues
Decrease Sharply

! A reduction of more than one
third in highway motor travel
throughout the country and a sharp
decrease in State gasoline tax reve-
nues, due to the gas and tire con-
servation program, was shown yes
terday in a survey report issued by
the Public Roads Administration.
The survey, carried on in q States
for July, revealed a 35.6 per cent
decrease in motor travel since July,
194l. The decrease average was
computed from 40,7 per cent de-
crease in rationed areas, and a %. 3
per cent decrease in unrationed
areas. The percentage reduction
was found to be almost twice as
much on State highways as on local
highways.
Greatest reductions were in Vir-
ginia, 53.4 per cent; Rhode Island,
49.5 per cent; Massachusetts,. 45.8
per cent, and Connecticut, 416 per
cent. All figures refer to State high
ways.
Drivers Keep in City.
The largely urban traffic on Is
toll facilities in the rationed area
declined about 80 per cent in July,
supplementary records revealed.
Coupled with the approximate Al
per cent rural driving decline, the
urban traffic records indicate that
unessential driving into the country
has been cut drastically," PRA off,
cials said.
State gasoline taxes paid in July
in eight Eastern States affected by
the rationing program, reveal an
average decrease of 27.08 per cent.
Vermont showed the largest reduc-
tion, with 1856 per cent. In most
States, the June taxes are paid in
July, hence the figures largely re-
fleet June consumption.
A similar survey recorded from
2O5 points in 18 States for June,
1912, reported a decrease of BOT per
cent in motor traffic over June of
last year.
Reports by States.
Reports of traffic decreases re-
corded last month, compared with

The battle OF the Kerch Peninsula
is regarded as a test phase of Hit
ler's long heralded Spring offensive,
having started Friday along the
12-mile front of the Peninsula.
Hitlers Spring offensive has long
been expected to strike its first
blow to the south, in the Crimea or
the Southern Ukraine and directed
at the Caucasus Oil fields.
While the Germans have claimed
smashing victory. the midday
communique of the Soviets reported

This would indicate neither side
has scored any major gains.

The communicates from Russia in
dictate the Soviet troops are on the
defensive for the first time since
early last December, adding to the
impression that this is actually the
German offensive's beginning.

he declared that more than 1000

swing at some time to the change
in President Roosevelt's mood in
recent weeks.
Almost every press conference
lately has found him cheerful and
in good spirits-a mood that has
teen almost totally lacking since
those gray days that followed the
Jap attack on Hawaii.
1t is almost capital axiom that
President Roosevelt wears best in
diversity. When things are going
wrong, he shoulders the load and
Gems almost to relish the carrying
Of it. Certainly there has been no
var President who has borne up

Pearl Harbor. But until recently
something was lacking. Press con-
ferences, even those in which the
rare bits of good news were given
cut. had an atmosphere OF depres-

Merry Co. Round
! By DREW PEARSON

Observation-Disclosures Assist
ant War Secretary John McCloy
has just come back from an IN
spection trip to Pearl Harbor where
he reports that it still is absolutely
essential to use japanese labor to
help erect Hawaiis bristling de-
lenses.
Just after Pearl Harbor, the war
Department issued an order remoV-
ing all Japanese from defense WORK
in Hawaii. However, new COM
mander Gen. Delos Emmons pro-
tested: "You can't do that. You
don't know how many 1athes you
are stopping
In the end he proved to be right
The Japanese were found to be es-
sential to defense work, and the
order was rescinded.
Japanese are now used in digging
bitches to break up possible land
ing fields; building roads; and they
even work in arsenals producing
guns. Suspicious Japanese have
been picked up. But it is impos'
sible to test the loyalty of others
However, to get the vital defense
work done in a hurry, the Wal
Department is convinced there is nj
other out than to use Jap LABOR.
Furthermore, the alternative o
deporting Hawaii's huge japanese
population would be a TREMENDOUS
lob. They can't be shipped Y
California. And they can't be sen
to a separate island, where the!
might establish landing base 10
Japanese attack. So the presen
solution is to leave them where the!
are, carefully guarded.
Meanwhile, Pearl Harbor is OF
the alert with more protective de
vices than ever before in history
Every hour of the day and nigh
patrol planes scour the air aroun'
the islands. No fleet, either b.
sea or air, could approach Hawai-
undetected.

SHAKY CHINA

1; Chinese leaders in Washington
are not shouting it from the house
tops, but behind closed doors they
are doing some tough talking to the
effect that an increasing number
of Chinese are getting discouraged
about the war and would like To
see some kino of appeasement with
Japan. Chinese leaders give this as
the reason why China must have
airplanes-and have them immedi-
ately.
The Chinese don't demand lot
of planes. But they do say that
even small fraction of the mu-
nitions going to Russia would work
wonders in bolstering China.
Here is the Chinese picture now
being presented to U. S. war STRAIT
egists. After five years of war,
the Chinese are war weary Most
Encouraging thing is the ironical
fact that the Chinese are worse of
now, with Allies, than they We're
before, fighting alone The Chinese
were delighted after Pearl Harbor
because it meant they had a pow
erful ally against Japan. But now
after six months of it, they almost
wish they md been left to hold
out alone.
That is why recent reverses in
Burma and along the China coast
have shaken Chinese determination
down to the foundation.
Generahssimo Chang Kai-shek is
not weakening But many Chinese
