Argued in High Court
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Conflicting arguments were pre-
scented yesterday to the Supreme
Court as to whether the Federal
wage-hour law may be applied con-
stitutionally to newspapers.
Warner w. Gardner. Labor De-
partment solicitor, said the constitu-
tional guarantee Of free speech did
not make a newspaper immune
from general regulatory statutes
"and that the Supreme Court had
50 held.
A contrary view was expressed by
Elisha Hanson, counsel for the
Lowell (Mass) Sun Co.
Congress" Mr.. Hanson said, "has
no power to regulate the press In
any manner or form, where the
effect of the regulation Is to impose
q restraint upon volume Of circula-
ton, frequency Of issue or area Of
distribution"
Litigation is to determine whether
the wage-hour administrator may
subpoena data from the newspaper
concerning wages paid and hours
worked by employees. A decision Is
expected in q few weeks.

To Papers in Radio Field
D. the Axsoeiated Pres.

BY the Associated Press.
Ernest Angel, president Of the
Council for Democracy. told the
Federal Communications Commits
sion today that regulations barring
newspapers from operating radio
stations would be "fraught with a
great deal Of danger to the demo-
cratic process"
Testifying in connection with the
commissions investigation Of news
paper-radio relationships, Mr.. An
gel, New York lawyer, expressed
fear that prohibitions against news
papers might eventually be extended
to other groups such as employers
Of labor, labor unions and religious
organizations.
Mr.. Angel told the commission he
regarded maintenance of freedom
Of speech and freedom OF the press
without interference from the Gov
eminent as important to democ-
racy"
Calling regulations against news
papers a highly dangerous prece-
dent to set" Mr.. Angel commented:
IF we are to bar newspapers there
Is ground to limit circulation in Or
der to promote more newspapers.
And there Is equally good ground
for saying book publisher could
not put out more than 50 many
books a year"
Donald Harris, an r. c. c. attor-
ney. asked Mr. Angel whether he
would object to some system of ap-
portioning stations among various
groups. Mr. Angel called this COM
pletely unavoidable" and predicted
1t would lead to pressure groups"
seeking to have their quota in
creased.

 Connecticut, because of its prox- unity to great concentrations of population will probably draw more vacationists than in past seasons, the Commission feels.
 "The Development Commission has studied the factors affecting recreation and travel during war time and these studies reveal that recreation facilities make little use of materials and services needed for war production" MT. Rolfe contin- ues. "On the other hand, many thousands of Connecticut people Ge- pend for their livelihood upon trav- ell and recreation, and millions of dollars of property is for use only for recreational purposes
 MT. Rolfe stated that wartime re- strictions will undoubtedly encour- age many Connecticut residents to explore more completely the splen- did vacation facilities of their own state and it will afford an excellent opportunity for new residents to become better acquainted with Con- nectciut.
 MT. Rolfe concluded that "the viewpoint of Federal officials on travel during the coming season is that vacation travel should be en- couraged within limited areas"

.den in Military Service Fill Application for
 Abatement

Announcement that the city gov- ernment would follow a policy of abating old age assistance taxes against Waterburians serving in the armed forces has resulted in receipt of a great many" applica- tions for such abatements, accord ing to Mayor Vincent A. Scully. Virtually all the applications have been filed for soldiers, sailors and marines by relatives and friends.
 The men in the armed forces are being exempted from the 8 tax be- cause they are "too poor to pay" the only legal basis on which abate- ments can be given them.
 The office of Tax Collector Hum bert Mangini was open yesterday despite the holiday, and collections of $1, 300 were recorded. This brings total collections since Feb. 1 to about $80,000
 The budget for 1942 estimates collection of $143,500, of which $135, 900 must be turned over to the state. The tax must be paid by March 1 or penalty of $1 will be added.
 Tax Collector Mangini expects a unsh of taxpayers at the City Hall during the remainder of this week.

home gardens for the production ot food for the family should be con- fined to farm families and those families residing in suburban and village areas that now have proper equipment, experience and suitable garden land"
 The councils report emphasizes that commercial agriculture is fal better equipped to make the great est use of available materials and produce the necessary crops to meet domestic demands in an efficient manner than it was during the last war. It also points out, Tt is the national policy to conserve all ma terials that are required for winning this war and to cause these mater ials to produce the maximum ir foods as well as in war materials.
 "The promotion of war gardens would entail the increased use ol new tools, fertilizers, chemicals fo1 insecticides, seeds, etc. The supply oi these materials will be far better utilized in our war economy in the hands Of experienced gardeners and commercial market garden growers than equipping and supplying in- experienced garden operators ir large-scale war gardens"
 According to Professor Bells re- port, the only exception to this statement in regard to the home gardening program is in the case ot those suburban gardens which are now equipped with tools and where tillage is good from years of culti- vation. Even in these cases, however the report urges home gardeners te take special precautions this year and use good judgment in the ap- plication of fertilizer and insecti- cides to obtain the highest possible yields. It asks that plans be made early to plant vegetable crops st that they will yield the maximum food supply according to the bes nutritional needs of the indivdua family, and urges that produce not used fresh from the garden b, canned and stored for later use.
