BY PHILLIPS y. PECK
New ssr,ioe star Writer


WASHINGTON. Oct. 7 49, The
familiar battle of priorities' was
on again today in the rubber pro-
gram With storm signals flying in
the face of civilian motorists who
need new tires.
From Omaha. former Rubber
Director William NJ letters
blasted both WIPE and the rubber
manufacturers, suggesting that
the government might have 10 60
into the tire making business 20
avoid interference with rubber
borne transportation
In Washington, officials adj
mitted that serious trouble lies
ahead in fabricatinG the nation
steadily mounting output OF syn
thet.c rubber into tires and other
essential items.
S65.000, 900 EXPANSION
Focal point Of the storm" is
the proposed S65.000,00 expan-
sion IN tire manufacturing facili-
ties, the first projects Of which
are scheGuled 10 get into operation
In November o December.
WPB officials asserted that
S47,000.000 Of the program already
has been given a go-ahead and
pledged action on the remainder
as quickly as IT can be fitted into
the overall production picture.
Rubber experts. however, have
called for higher priorilies on the
program TO speed ITS completion
and expand production of vitality
needed tires, both for military and
civilian use.
Officials on both sides conceded
that only one phase of the rubber
lob is done that of getting syn
.thetIc rubber into production. The
task Of iabricaiing the new prod
uct--30 900 tons OF which were
produced last month-into tires

Hamilton Avenue Tract Also Losing Proposed Child
Service Center; Construction Work Started

With work already started on
construction of additional federal
housing units at Long Hill this week
The Democrat learned that the orig
inal plan to include Combined
Community Building and Child
Service Center at the Hamilton ave-
nue. tract may be abandoned,
The City Construction Company
Of Bridgeport has been awarded the
contract on the basis of its bid Of
100000 submitted on May II here
in this city. This bid was for pro-
posal No. !, which is based on dry
wall construction.
It also included alternates which
indicated that the successful bidder
estimated the cost of the Commun-
ity Building at Hamilton Weights at
$4,000; that at Warner Gardens,
$4,000; and the Child Service Cen
ter at Warner Gardens, $50 1000 In
the event that any or all or any
combination of these planned Struc-
lures we're dropped from the origin
al plans the bid would be that much
lower.
According to The Democrat in
formant federal housing officials
now are inclined to abandon the
Hamilton Heights Community Build
ing, but might allow the present Of
flee building there to be remod-
eled, so that it could be utilized for
community purposes. Only one
small room would be kept for Off

GOVERNOR SIGNS
BRASS CITY BILLS
Promises TO Give COnsid-
GRAFTON to Mayors Pro-
test of Ripper Bills

Governor Raymond E. Baldwin
has signed three Waterbury bills
during the past few days, it was re-
vealed today. They are: the bill pro-
viaing for pension for the widow
of the late Mayor Vincent A. Scully;
pensions at full pay for firemen
Bartholomew Buckley and John j.
Corcoran.
Mayor John S. Monagan fought
the bill for Buckley, declaring that
he was able to do "selective work,
but did not object to the Corcoran
bill. These two men were perma-
rcntly disabled In collision be-
tween two fire trucks on Baldwin
street, four years ago. Both men
have been performing light duties
in the department but are unable OF
doing full duties as firemen. Tho
bills give them full pay pensions and
not half pay as the case Is usually.
However, the Scully pension bill
stipulates that Mrs. Scully is TO re-
ceivc annually $1,000 for Is years
unless she remarries, In which case
the pension will continue TO be paid
until the erd Of the Is years, to be
divided between her two children.
Mayor Monagan and Corporation
Counsel Maurice r. Healey held a
conference with Gov. Baldwin IN
Hartford yesterday concerning the
other bills to which this city's adj
m!nistration Is opposed, during
which The former outlined their
reasons for opposition to the bills
that still remain unsigned on the
governors desk.
COY. Baldwin declined to comment
TO the press concerning his decision
OF the recommendation made add
Ing that he had not read any OF the
provisions OF the official copies that
await him. The mayor opposes the
following bills. The nurses bill
freezing the health department
nurses into Office for life; the asses
sors' bill, which supplants the pres
ent flve-man board appointed for
five years, by three men appointed
for life: the bill freezing into ofiice
for life the city purchasing agent,
Martin j. Sweeney, a Democrat and
O. brother-in- law OF Sen. Summa;
the bill creating a pension fund for
the maintenance employees of the
school department; the bill pro-
noting Police Sergt, George Chat
field to q captaincy, and the bills
providing pay raises for the police
and firemen. Although the latter
LII ostensibly merely makes part OF
their permanent pay the $500 tenn
porary bonus now being paid them,
II actually gives raises ranging from
$500 to 81 300 to various fire officials,

1t has also been heard in officia.
housing circles that the location o.
the Community Building at Warne;
Gardens might be changed. Pres
ent plans call for its construction
at the top of the site, with tht
Child Care Center down near the
entrance. There seems to be some
indication now that both OF these
buildings might be located near the
entrance to the government reserva-
ton where both would be available
to residents entering and leaving It,

 When times were pretty tough, I earned my daily living But always had enough. With Ye pick and shovel I labored every day, Digging up the ditches On the good, old WPA. We had T-bone once week For breakfast, butter on toast And kicked because my wife Always served a big pot roast. Now I'm working on defense Earn 100 bucks week My wife she does the kicking now, Cause she's always on the seek. And me! My stomach's empty now, Though my wages are darned nifty, I can't get half as much to eat As when made twelve-fifty.
