Officials Blamed for Part
In Rail Terminal Congestion
a, tht Associated Press.

Government officials who have
been complaining about the con-
eested condition at railroad termi-
nails. are, it now develops, them
selves partly to blame.
The once of Defense Transporta-
ton has found that great many
Federal officials wait until train
time to convert their "transporta-
ton requests" into railroad and
Pullman tickets and fail to cancel
reservations promptly on learning
their trips have been postponed,
thus aggravating the wartime jams
at ticket windows.
In a memorandum just issued to
all Government agencies. the ODT
called attention to its request OF
April 7 that Federal travel reserva-
tions be made we'll in advance of
train time and that cancellations
be made promptly, and added omin-
ously:
These suggestions have been dis
regarded to such an extent that we
have felt it necessary to ask the
Pullman Co. to submit a list of vio-
lations which we are handling with
the head Of each agency"
ODT officials said agency heads
would be expected to reprimand the
offenders.

Shipyard Production
OF Big Air Freighters
Proposed by Kaiser
West Coast Builder Says
Flying Ferries Are Key
To Submarine Menace
3, the Associated Press.

BY Inc Associated PreSs.
PORTLAND, Greg, July 90
Henry J. Kaiser, West Coast ship
building leader, proposed yesterday
that nine of the Nations shipyards
be turned over to production of giant
aerial freighters.
In fleets of such flying ferries
Mr.. Kaiser declared in a speech at
the launching of the Liberty ship,
Harvey w. Scott, lies the answer to
the growing submarine menace
which is nurturing "a haunting
fear" that movement of supplies
and arms to our soldiers in many
parts CT the world will eventually
be cut off.
The speech followed a warning by
Rear Admiral Howard l.. Vickery,
vice chairman of the Maritime Com
mission, that the United Nations
were losing ships faster than they
could build them.
Materials Called Problem.
Admiral Vickery, who also attend
ed the launching, said in an inter-
view, requirements have to come
from Canada, the United States or
Great Britain, and it is getting diff
f1cult to deliver building materials
to the shlpyards as rapidly as work.
ers can construct ships"
He said material available would
supply only existing yards and that
was the reason the commission can
celed a contract with New Orleans
shipyard for 200 ships.
Admiral Vickory said he was not
qualified to judge Mr.. Kaisers
proposal.
II am shipbuilder. not an air
plane builder" he said. II do not
see it best to change over immedi-
ately to another form of building
until the need for the construction
Is shown"
Mr.. Kaiser said that although
Kaiser engineers have on their
boards plans for air boats beyond
anything Jules Verne ever could
have imagined having 200 and 500
ton capacity. capable of carrying up
to 1000 troops, the urgency of the
moment demands that the subma-
rine problem be solved at once.
Mentions the Mars.
'There is already a flying ship
which is very large compared with
anything known to be in mass pro-
duction." he continued. Il refer to
the Glenn L. Martin ship known as
the Mars-a flying boat of 10 tons,
capable of carrying a pay load of
IA tons. That ship would carry 100
men fully equipped Five thousand
of them could land 100000 equipped
men in England in a single day
And the next day they could fly
over again with 10000 tons of fresh
milk, beefsteak, sugar and bombs.
No submarine could shoot them
down.
"1'he experience of this war shows
without question that such trans
port fleets cannot be interfered with |
by enemy fighters if they have even
a minimum of protection. Our
ferry service to Britain goes through
with hardly loss. And such a
gigantic ferry service as see
headed to whatever part of the |
world our President and high COM |
mand would designate-would be
the safest method of mass travel
ever used IN wartime"
His proposal was directed specifi-
cally "to the Maritime Commission,
to President Roosevelt and to the
armed services

We Mus. Be Vlsilant

City and state ofticlals are as one in warning houSeholderS Co be prepared these days for dim-outs and black-outs, Precautions taken today will certainly avert trouble later on, even if we never have to undergo the horrors of an enemy air invasion and bomhardment It's quite likely that this winter will find New Eng land blacked.out on many occasions. Some of these may be longer than any we have vet experienced. It isn't going to be pleasant to be blacked out for sev- eral hours unless households and indi- vidualS are properly prepared,
 AS for dim-out rules they have been made public this past week and it's no ones fault but his or her own if the rules aren't observed. There will be frequent ci,eck-upS too, to see that every home and every business is living up to the letter of the law The prime thing, of course, IS to see that all lights are properly shielded or cut down in intensity, In the case of the home it will be simple matter to prevent lights streaming out of windows, Use of common window-ShadeS is sufti- cient. Porch lights, etc, naturally are out, as are all such outdoor lighting.
 For black-outs there are eight simple rules for everyone to remember. One is a knowledge of black-out and afraid sig nals, so that when the time comes every household may instantly comply with them, Others are removal of all combus- tibles from homes; preparation of a black-out or refuge room in the event of actual raids or prolonged trial black outs; plans for prompt removal of chil- dren and invalids in the event of raids; as well as possession of some means Of fighting fire, From time to time we may be called to answer on these items of pre- paredneSs, Why not attend to them today?

Look Elm Over

The license-plate scheme among Amer ican motor-carS this coming year bids talr to establish an alltime record for dupll- cation. What with war forcing us to frenzied industrial efforts there just isn't sufficient material to go around. So a bit of ingenuity here and there is required. In Connecticut we don't have to do much more than We did in the past three or four years. We're still using the same old plates and will continue to do so until they wear out. A year tab will bring them up to date.
 But in other states all sorts of ideas are being tried out for the first time. Most of them are retaining plates now in use, but the method of designating the new year varies. A number are following Connecticut'S example; still others use a strip. Where there was only one plate lS- sued last year, such as was done In New York, the other plate will be issued TOT 1943. In Illinois there will be new plates, but they'll be made of fibre board. Wind- shield stickers are going to be popular, too, great many states using them to deS- ignate the year.
 This windshield Sticker business may eventually have to be curbed. Right now we have to place an auto use tax stamp thereon. Gasoline rationing stickers, also must be displayed Many Connecticut cars still have their last test Stickers, too. There's no telling where it may end. And only a few short years ago any sort of windshield or back-window stickers were strictly taboo among law enforcement officials. Who knows but what out of all the various ideas bound to be tried out during the duration of the war some startling new and simple one will pop out to be carried on during peacetime.

A critical shortage of teachers in Con- necticut isn't good news to any commun- ity. According to Dr. Alonzo Grace, State Education Commissioner, there is grave crisis facing us in the field of schooling Certainly there is if it's going to be difti- cult to man the fine institutions for which this state is justly famous, Our school system has never broken down and it would be extremely fortunate now if the all-out war effort were to blame for such a sag than could only mean dis ruption of all that we have labored to build up down through the years. To overcome the situation statewide re- cruiting program is being launched With the idea of persuading many former members of the profession to return on full or part-time basis, To certain eX- tent this may succeed, but even in the fields of ex-teachers the officials may ma that industry has been ahead of them There is quite an appeal right now to every able-bodied person, without ]oo, to tackle those being offered by the war industries. It is unfortunate that educa- tion, so necessary at all times, should suffer from our efforts to educate the world.

A Thought for Today
Behind the Red Ball

As was to be expected, the Roosevelt ByrneS pay limitation ukaSe is being de- nounced as CommuniStic in spirit and in trend That is not fair-to the Reds, They have long since progressed beyond the experimental stage marked by this executive law We have criticized 1t on the ground, among others, that it dis eliminates against earnerS as entrusted with interiors -- because man is not permitted to receive more than S25,000 a year net for the sweat of his brow, but can have much more for which he has given nothing in return.
 That criticism is fair and pertinent, It should be noted, however, that this effect was not the choice of the President or of the left-wing union which gave him the idea. The United Automobile Workers and the President wanted S25,000 limi- tation upon net income from all sources, and took this discriminatory half-plnt because Congress, with the apparent ap- proval of the people, refused flatly to go along on the broader program. Perhaps the President hopes that, to eliminate the discrimination, Congress now will consent to do what he asked in the first place, and make the limitation apply to all ln- COIllS ICOul Wlld(CNSl SOQlCS.
 Originally Communism had the idea of spreading the wealth and equalizing in- come in hope of keeping it spread, That, obviously, is what the S25,000 limitation would tend to do here, But as soon as Russia began trying to capitalize on her natural wealth and to induStrlalize, she found that Communism Of the economic variety woul62; woCE.

It would be funny now if Mother Ma ture played a joke on us by providing New England with it's second consecu- tive "open" winter. We say this in view of all the announcements that are being made about lack of means with which to combat snow and ice throughout the winter months. The State Highway De- partment doesn't anticipate its custom arv services to the public. For that mat ter neither do many of our municipalities. It isn't so much a question of finances as labor It's hard to get men to man the trucks and various other equipment needed to clean up after heavy storm has blanketed the state. We hope that the winter will be neither long nor severe, but by this time most of us should pc steeled to accept anything that comes our way.

in front of a dormer window he started to write tragedies and novels. It was during these years that he formed those habits of dili- gence which made him one of the most voluminous writers among the literary men of the world, as we'll as one of the most distinguished. When he died, at the age of fifty-one. his mother was at his beside, and stand- ing beside her was the great Victor Hugo. The boy had taken his mo- ther's advice seriously and had done the work which had made him king among the literary men of his day.

See the wind has whipped The trees to epic strength against the sky Barred them to new endeavors when they tossed Away the old leaf-chron!ces that lie Beneath quicksilver hieroglyphs of frost. Brown twigs dream April lyrics in the slow Uncertain rain and sparrows gossip, gay And unaffected. as the grackles grow More eloquent in their prophetic way. Late autumn, in her dull, mysterious mien Lets us interpret anything we glean.
