Treasurer

The national council of the Fed eration of Lithuanian Roman Catho- lie Societies of America has offered its services to the American Red Cross, voting at a meeting held earlier this week in New Haven to give its full support and aid to the Red Cross emergency war relief fund drive. Professor Alexander J. Aleksis, first vice president of the national organization, represented local lodge 22, of which he is pres- ident at the meeting.
 The council will request each lodge of the organization to find means for raising funds for the war relief drive, according to an announcement made by Professor Aleksis. Its plans include calling mass meetings on February 16, observed for many years as Lithuanian independence day, in all Lithuanian communities in accordance with the annual cus- tom. This year, however, the funds raised at the mass meetings instead of being turned into fund for aid- ing Lithuania will be turned over to the American Red Cross.
 Professor Aleksis said that the local group will arrange an elabo- rate program for that day. A special meeting has been called for next Wednesday night for that purpose Also at that time reports will be given on the drive for the Red Cross war fund being conducted by the federation among Lithuanian Cath olic organizations of the city, and plans will be furthered fer aiding in Red Cross production work and in the sale of defense bonds.
 A number of persons well known to local LithuanianS attended the council meeting in New Haven Among them were: Rev. Edward Gradeck, former assistant pastor o1 St. Joseph's church and now pastor of st. Casimir's church in New Ha- ven; Joseph Laucka, of Brooklyn, N Y, national president of the federa- tion and editor of the Lithuanian newspaper America; Father Bal kunas of Maspeth, L. l., who is pres ident of the national Lithuanian R. c.

WAR ACTION PACE
 MUCH QUlCKENED
British=American Planning Is Being Increased Every
 Minute of Day
BY MERRIMAN SMITH

Washington, Jan. 2-(UP)-The pace of British-American war plan ming under the direction of Prime Minister Winston Churchill an d President Roosevelt quickened to- day.
 The presence of Admiral Ernest J. King, commander -in-chief of the fleet in consultation with Chur- chill and the President, inspired unofficial reports that he might be given control over Allied naval op- erations in the Pacific.
 Churchill returned from Ottawa yesterday, attended special New Years prayer services with MT. Roosevelt at George Washington's church in Alexandria, Va, and then began hours of work in the Presi- dents White House study on the Allied plan for unity of action against the Axis.
 King has conferred with British members of the British American war council several times since Churchill came to this country. But yesterday was the first time he sat in joint consultation with MT Roosevelt and Churchill. However, King has seen the Presi- dent almost daily for the past week, lunching twice with him since Sum- day.
 The velt-Churchill confer ences are to continue today but no announcement about them was ex- pected.
 Secretary of State Cordell Hull and Undersecretary of State Sum- ner Welles were called in yester- day. Welles leaves shortly to rep resent this country at the Pan- American conference at Rio De Janeiro, Jan. 15.
 After the long, late-afternoor meeting, the President and the prime minister dined together and continued their conferences alone late into the night.
 Meanwhile, the Soviet embassy and State department were with out information on reports from London that Soviet Premier Josef Stalin will arrive here soon for war talks with MT. Roosevelt and Chur- chill. The same rumor has been heard here for more than a week.
 The Churchill Roosevelt trip tc Christ church in Alexandria yes- terday was to attend special ser- vices requested by the President ill his proclamation declaring New Years day a day of prayer. The leaders of the United States and the British empire sat in the pew once used by George Washington to listen to youthful Episcopal rector criticize Americas "great sin of international irresponsibility" of pre-war days and pray for strength.
 Then MT. Roosevelt and Chur- chill asked God to stretch forth Thine mighty arm to strengthen and protect" the armed forces of the Allied nations.

Driving Hazards In
 Winter Months Cited
National Safety Council Lists Nine Specific Problems, Proposes Number of Suggestions; Death Toll Mounts

Chicago, Jan. 2-Winter is putting the skids under street and highway traffic, adding to the accident toll that is hindering the nations war effort, the National Safety Council said today.
 The Council, heading the Nation wide Emergency Safety Campaign requested by President Roosevelt, has issued, through it's Committee on Winter Driving Hazards, an en- ergency report on special problems of winter driving created by the war emergency and its resulting activi- ties.
 The committee listed nine specific winter traffic problems:
 l. Snow and ice cause traffic de- lays and accidents for the unwary. 2. The war program! requires win ter maintenance of heretofore sec ondary roads that now are direct routes to industrial plants. military camps and other defense centers.
 3. The need for speed and promptness in deliveries.
 4. An increasing number of mo- torized military conveys which must get through in all kinds of weather.
 5. The normal winter travel drop is likely to be less this winter, due to war necessity
 6. More night traffic as result of night shifts in industry and in- creased highway transportation.
 T. Expanded industry means more drivers with little winter driving ex- perience.
 8. Increased travel means more exposure to accidents-an ominous fact in winter, when motor vehicle death rates are at or near their peak.
 g. Fewer new vehicles and the increased demand for transportation have lowered the general condition of vehicles, especially important in winter
 The Council committee made these definite suggestions to traffic au- thorities and drivers on how to off set the adde hazards of winter driv- ing:
 1. Reduced speeds and the use of tire chains when roads are slippery will help keep traffic delays and ac- cidents at minimum, particularly on secondary roads. Chains reduce the distance required to stop after brakes are applied on snow or ice by 40 to 50 per cent, as compared with bare tires.
 2. Street and highway depart ments should improve secondary roads to facilitate snow blowing. Shoulders may need widening. Sharp turns, dips and other hazardous spots should be eliminated if possi- ble.
 3. New points of accident concen- tration or traffic congestion should receive effective snow and ice re- moval or treatment.
 4. Drivers should check wea ther and road conditions beofre starting trips and postpone or interrupt trips when heavy snow storms or fogs oc- cur.
 5. Reduce speeds at night. Use proper headlight beam-lower beam in snow storms and in fog, unless vehicle is equipped with fog lights.
 6. A traffic safety educational appeal should be made to drivers in

Is Keynote
Of Makeup
BY DONNA GRACE

DAYTIME STREET makeup
is always natural, so clear skin
is a must. Right here we are
going to compliment modern
young girls (boys, tool for the
improvement in their complex
ions. They are so improved over
the drab, blemished little faces
of some years back.
Candy and sweets are still en-
joyed as they always have been,
but healthy activity and good
elimination helps to prevent
clogged pores and dull skin.
These faces are going to be
lovely with whatever makeup
they choose.
While some of the young ma
irons and a few, recently back
from the South, may affect deep
Latin tints, the natural tones
are preferred at this time. Beige,
rose-beige and some of the new
warm tones of pink are just
right for any spring costume.
They are complimentary to iurs
also.
