TIRE RECAPPINC
 ORDERS FILLED
Requests for Service on Increase as Certificate
 Requirement Cancelled

Tire-recapping orders are being filled on 16-hour-a-day schedule at local service stations and the volume of business Is great enough to warrant operation 24 hours a day, it is reported by Larry St. Louis, chairman of the govern ment's recapping committee for Waterbury and the Litchfield coun- ties. Cancelling of the OPA re- quirement for a certificate for re- cap service is responsible for the rush felt here in the past few days
 Rubber obtained from the sixth tires obtained by the government last fall is expected to be sufficient for recapping for several years. The local committee, of witch Mayor John s. Monagan is honorary chair man, has started a campaign to in- crease recapplng service, so more car owners could extend the lives of their tires.
 Meanwhile the OPA has an nounced certificates for mud and snow" tires will be issued although applicants may already have five tires in their possession. A large nur-Ser of such tires were sur rendered to the government and sale will be permitted now. over the five" limit. to prevent deteri- Oration of the stock. The tire ra. ton panel has been authorized tc issue certificates up to two tires of that variety.

The streets of Waterbury can be better illuminated and the extra brightness" can be obtained with- out dlsrupting the Army's dlmout regulations, Alderman George Kingston maintained last night as he appealed for legitimate relief from tho extreme methods to which the city has compiled to meet the wartime defense measure,

 The alderman declared that tho board should request that improved lighting be provided on East Ma'n street between Crosby high school and ExchAnWs place.

 When the meeting was over, MT. Kingston emphasized to members of the board that dlmout shades on Waterbury lights enclose the entire bulb. He contended that these could bo raised from three to five inches to permit more light to brighten the ground without contributing to sky. glow, The East Mnln street dark. ness could he relieved, he persisted, by shifting standards from West Main street, formerly called Wa terbury's White Way"
 He plans to press for a study of his recommendation at the honrd's next meeting,

. struggle to keep wages and prices down to prevent inhOtion.
 AS war emergency, the Pres ident's powers have been inereaS- cd far beyond anything tho Pres idnt darod ask for In the Third New Deal. American life, property, liberties have been reglmented by selectiVe service, manpoWGr controls, rationing and taxation far beyond anything the extreme New Dealers dreamed of iA the days of spend and tax spend and tax, when they were remaking tho nation.
 War expenditures of over B,000,- 000,0 c month are now more than the total national debt when RoosG- Velt took office in 1888. The debt Of around Sii0,000, ,000 900 now will be $2l0 ,000 ,000, ,00o or moro by the timG RooseVelt's third term ends, less than two years hence,
 FRACTIOUS CONGRESS
 There are signs now that all this does not sit pretty. From the eX- pense of war, there is no escape, But In Congress there are manlfeS- tatlons that the administration will have Q fight on It's hands these next two years, to hold It's ground, to maintain It's policies. The Democrats In Congress are disorganized, dis- couraged. Its pro-labor faction has lost ground, The farm bloc rides high.
 Whether or not the Fifth Now Deal survives may depend on the course of the war. The most bitter political fight of American history might come if the war ended in the next Presidential election year of l044.
 Whether or not the war ends, If the Fifth New Deal survives l04i and goes Into a postwar period, It can be counted on to emerge with a Sixth New Deal lend-lease opera tions, the Atlantic charter, the principle of the four freedoms, the Good Neighbor policy, the begin hing os the work on foreign relief and rehabilitation are but the first signs that this Sixth New Deal is in the making and they give the hint of what 1t may be.

 Only able-bodied workers who volunteer and whose records have been checked by the Federal Bureau of Investigation will Do accepted for farm work, They will be paid the same wages as other workers In each locality.
 Estimate 10000 Available
 Tho WRA estimated that there are 10000 employables in the 10 re- location centers in the Rocky Moun- tain states. It estimated that at least 10000 can qualify for farm work outside of the relocation centers.
 The Agriculture Department, which approved the plan, has in- structed It's County War Boards to operate in the placement of the workers as part of the program to help alleviate the critical labor situ- ation in many states.
 Field men of the Department and the WRA will cooperate in checking farmer applications for Japanese workers and in determining wheth- CT community sentiment Is favor able to their employment. Workers will not be sent to communities where the local population would be hostile.
 Forms Supplied Farmers
 The County War Boards will sup- ply farmers who apply for Japanese workers with a form to be filled out with information as to the type of work to be done, hours of work, pay and permanency of the job. hous- ing ard transportation available.

 The Third flew Deal was the era of domestic reorganization, purge and reform, It began after the elections of i936, the Demo- cralc landslide that buried Ian don. It was headllned by the pro poSal to enlarge the Supreme Court and reshape many government agencies to give the President new powers of extreme breadth,
 So confident was the President of his power and his popular sup- port that he attempted to rid his own party of reactlonaries who differed with his policies. This ended In the purge" elections of 1888, with severe set-backs to tho Presidents prestige,
 The Fourth New Deal was the period of national defense. It over iapped tho Third New Deal in that it really began with tho presidents 1887 speech ct Chicago, calling for the quarantine of aggrossor nations MANPOWER PICTURE

LAUNDRIES NOW IN
 ESSENTIAL CLASS

Laundrles have been placed in the class of essential industries, according to an announcement by Joseph A. Smith of Boston, regional director of the War Manpower Commission. The move was made because of defense workers need of laundry service,
 It was pointed out many women who have been unab le to secure service by commercial laundries have taken a cay each week from their war jobs to do the family wash,' thereby adding to the prob- lens of absenteeism. The new rul. ing is expected to give greater security to laundry jobs after the war as well as at the present time.

 This fifth New Deal is little like tho first, and the sixth may be different from all tho others, To speak of "Th0 Roosevelt New Deal" as ono continuous theory, mapped out in advance and ad- herod to like HitlerS "Moin Kampf," is gross error. Tho New Deal has changed, and 70 has the man who is It's head and symbol.
 The First New Deal, which took shape shortly after RoosevOlt's first inauguration in iO33, was to be Q program of correction. It was to right tho wrongs" of pre- Vlous administrations. It was to institute economy, reduce the $6000, 100000 debt, protect inves- tors from losing their shirts in collapsos Nfter booms, moderniEe currency and banking practices by abandoning the gold standard.
