Gene Autry Is Star of New FiIm-Rdir Story Also
 Shares Bill

Ask any school-age kid about his greatest personal hero, and nine times out of ten you'll be hearing about Gene Autry!
 There is no doubt that the cow boy star has captured the imagin- ations and affections of more fans than any other film luminary since the early days of the nickleodeon. With the release of his newest film on his Republic contract, "Ridin' On A Rainbow" which opens to- night at the Capitol Theatre, all box office polls placed him at the top.
 Gene has been singing ever since he was a child, riding the range on his fathers ranch near Ravia, Oklahoma, where the family moved from Tioga, Texas. his birthplace. During one of his summer vaca- tions in high school he joined a rowing medicine show and travelled through southern Oklahoma, sing ing while he dispensed cure-alls and patent medicines.
 Vividly sketching the drama and the romance behind the country's vast program for training thous- ands of young pilots, Universal,s Flying Cadets" will share the bill.
 Each one of the cast of popular Illmites, including William Gargan, Edmund Lowe, Peggy Moran, Frank Aloertson and Frankie Thomas. handles his job with thorough competence.

 on active duty as lieutenant col onel in the tank corps on southern maneuvers, following weeks of training at Fort Benning, Ga.
 Lieut.-Col. Murphy's case is unique for a number of reasons. When he stepped down from the supreme court bench for the sum- mer adjournment, he announced that he would return to the Army Che was a captain in the 85th division in World War D. He said he had wanted to get back into uniform ever since December T. He said he hoped to continue in the armed forces flor the dura- tion."
 This immediately raised a ques- tion: Would he resign from the court? No. He would just take leave. Whether he could was a legal question which Justice Mur- phy must have recognized immed- lately for he let it be known soon after that he might only stay with the Army until the court meets again in the fall.
 The Department of Justice Gin which Murphy was once Attorney GeneraD has issued memoran- dunn defining the justices position probably the only time that the department was ever called upon to determine the status of a mem- Der of the supreme court.
 The decision (Sec. 62, Title 5. Federal Statutes) was easy. The Justice could stay with the Army or stay with the court. He couldn't do both. The memorandum hasn't been made public It probably won't. There's really no need. In Army circles, it is foregone. con- clusion that come October, when the supreme court reconvenes Lieut.. Col.

DECEMBER QUOTAS
 REPORTED FILLED
Draft Boards Withhold Sanction of Enlistments
 in Navy, Marines,

The four local Selective Service boards have had to halt issuance Of clearance papers for men wishing to enlist in the navy, coast guard or marine corps, the action being taken after receipt of notification that all December quotas for vol. untary ef1listmentS have been filled. It is not yet certain whether such clearance papers can be issty:d after the start of the new year.
 When the general ban on enlist inents was put Into effect by execu- tive order of the President, 1t was announced that enllBtments would be accepted until about Feb. 1. Alp. parently, there was such 6 rush Of enlistfnents that quotas were filled much earlier than expected.
 Under the procedure adopted aft- CT the Presidents order, the only voluntary eniistments, except fof men receiving commissions, were those of men who applied to their draft boards for clearance paperl and received them. They were sent to the recruiting stations of tho services which they wished to efl. ter and. if rejected, resumed theit former draft status.
 There are understood to be scorei of young men seeking to enlist from this city in the navy, coast guard or marines. but they cannot do So until the boards arc given permission to give them their pa perk.

Rides sharing is destined to in- crease in Waterbury as additional allotment of gaasoline for ''non-pre- ferred" drivers seems to be out of the picture. James E. Mcknight, gasoline rationing administrator, said today car users who are not definitely engaged in defense work will receive permanent cuts in their rations when a new plan of distri- button takes effect next month.

old straw hat. His wife's wardrobe is proportionate. His children often are naked throughout their first six or seven years.
 He asks enough to support this, to buy food, and to bet 50 cents on cock fight every Sunday. If he ace cumulates savings of $3 to $4, he rests until 1t is gone. On less than g day, many laborers manage to maintain such homes plus one or two mistresses and their children, separately housed.
 The diet is almost exclusively of rice, dried beans, lard, dried cod- fish, coffee, and such native fruits and vegetables as sweet potatoes, names, yautiaS, corn, yucca, bananas and plaintains. Butter, fresh and cured meats, wheat four, canned fruits and vegetables are confined largely to the upper economic classes. The standard breakfast consists of black coffee.
 An experiment station study has contrasted the normal pre-war diet of the Puerto Rican worker with that of the southern Negro, who in the United States is considered to be distinctly l1nder-priyileged.
 The Negro has 16 times as much butter, three times as mary eggs and as much fats, and twice as much fish, meat and fresh vegetables as the Puerto Rican.
 The average northwestern white persons, rich or poor, has seven times as many eggs, three times as much meat, milk and green vege- tables. and a third more of all foods regardless of quality, than the Puerto Rican.

 That is why hookworm and rickets are the normal thing among human beings in the beautiful isle of Puerto Rico. That is why the children's stomachs generally bulge from mal- nutrition.
 One observer, intimately acquaint- ed with the situation there, epi- tomizes 1t caustically:
 Nobody starves to death-fast-- these citizens of the United States are sadly exploited. They may be though even Luis Munoz Marin leader of the Bread. Land, Liberty Populares party-the New Deal ir the isIand--does not contend that exploitation is the answer.
 The difficulty is that Puerto Rice Is physically incapable of supporting itself, and has nothing to sell that will pay for the other things that are needed.
 The island, called the Gibraltar of the Atlantic, appears capable oi supporting modestly well, around one million persons. With twice tha number, its population is growing faster than even the huge military naval program, temporarily, coult make jobs.
 So desperate is the situation that although the population is almos entirely Roman Catholic and tn Church fought it, a statute wa! passed legitimizing birth control in formation, which few have sought.
 The most radical proposals unde serious consideration are conceded by their sponsors to be, at best, mer' stopgaps.
 Only the depopulation of the is land, or outright subsidy, is sug gested as an overall, permanen cure.

GOOD CONDUCT
 WINS LIBERTY
Escaped Prisoner Won't Be Extradited to Mass.
 By New York

Albany, Dec. 20.-(UP)-Donald Blythe, g, a war worker, reported to the production line today free from the, fear of being returned to a Massachusetts prison.
 'Blythe's nine years of exemplary residence in New York state served him in good stead yesterday when Gov. Charles Poleth refused his ex- tradition to Massachusetts, where, in 1883, he escaped from prison af. ter serving two years of . five to eight-year sentence for breaking and entering, and larceny.
 After q most careful and thor ough consideration of aii the facts in this case, I have determined not to return Blythe to prison Poletti said. His announcement was made after completion of A special investigation by the state division of parole.
 Polettt said he was moved mot only by sense of mercy but by a firm conviction that society has nothing to gain blt much to lose if Blythe is returned to prison"
 Massachusetts authorities learned Blythe was in New York city when he voluntarily submitted to finger. printing to obtain a job in war pro- duction.
 Poletu lauded Dlythe's conduct since he arrived in New York state in 1883 and obtained a job as dish- washer in a restaurant. He re- mained there until 1o41, when he left to secure employment in 6 job offering greater opportunity Po- letti said.
 In 1884 Blythe married Mary Shamro and they have two chii- dren. He has been Ian unusually devoted and affectionate husband and father," Polettt said.
 New York, Dec. 2o.-(UP)-Mrs. Donald Blythe cried when she re- ceived the news that Coy. Charles Poletti had refused to send her hiis. band back to jail.
 Her children, Joan, s, and Lu- cille, 3 asked her why she was cry. ing.
 "Because I'm so happy" she said.
 Blythe worked night shift at 6 war plant yesterday and was sleep ing today.
 Boston, Dec. 20.-(UP)-Refusal of New York officials to permit ex- tradition of war worker Donald Blythe who escaped from the Nor folk prison colony in 1893 brough! joy to his mother today. Mrs. Marian Dedreaux, 58, of Dor- chester said she believed her sons actions since that time proved that he was making amends for hii previous troubles.
 "It,s more than a New Years present." he said, tits the best news I've ever heard"
