MORE STUDENT
 NURSES NEEDED
Only Possible Solution to Serious Shortage in
 Waterbury

Appeals for special duty nurses which cannot be filled are received almost every night at & Waterbury hospital and at 8 private nurses agency here.
 Dr. Edward J. Godfrey, city health officer, said contributing factors to the shortage are losses to the armed services, to industrial employment, and the increased population of the city.
 The only immediate solution to the problem, Dr. Godfrey said, is an increase in volunteer trainees as home nurses and nurses aides to relieve trained nurses for essen- tial needs.
 Miss Alice Peak, director of the Waterbury Visiting Nurses asso- citation, cited the increased mar riage and birth rate among nurse wives of defense workers and servicemen as another cause for the shortage.
 Miss Peak declared Connecticut has the highest nurse ration per population, in the country, while Waterbury has the lowest recruit ment record for nurses in the armed services.

DIPLOMAS FOR
 ARMY STUDENTS
Youths May Qualify for High School Certificates
 By Special Studies
Official Navy photo from NEA

Youth who leave high school be- fore graduation to enter the armed forces may now earn credit toward high school diploma for their military traiinng and experiences, according to a bulletin from the Bureau of Youth Services, State Department of Education. Armed Forces Institute correspondent courses and service school courses have been evaluated by the Bureau, which serves schools of secondary level, and have been found to be at last equal in level to high school courses.
 Recognition of service courses now makes it possible for many Connec- ticut boys to complete their high school education while in the serv- ice. This will eliminate the possibil- ity of service veterans being too mature to re-enter high school dur ing the postwar period. Previously high school diplomas have been awarded only to students who have completed three and one half years of work before entering the service.
 Among the seven accommodations made by the Bureau in its bulletin to school superintendents and prin- cipals is that two credits be given fid military service of one year or more; that courses at accredited normal or commercial schools and colleges be evaluated and full credit be given where possible; that courses of the Armedss Forces In- stitute be recognized; that trade and mechanical training in sevrice schools be recognized at the rate of one unit of credit not to exceed four units; that high school prin- cipals and guidance directors be prepared to offer educational, occu- pational and adjustment guidance to men in service and upon their return to civilian life.
 The bureau urges each boy to consult his school principal to de- termine graduation requirements in his particular case as local school standards, usually 16 units of credit for graduation, must still be met.

SOLDIERS VOTE
 STARTS BATTLE
Talbot Joins Opposition Forces to Defeat Federal
 Administration

Opposition to the passage of the Green-Lucas bill which calls for fed Feral administration of national legis- lation to handle the soldier vote, has been expressed by various rep resentatives from Connecticut. Rep. Joseph Talbot (R) ar- nounced yesterday that he will op- pose any attempt to pass this bill. Earlier this week two other mem- bers of the Connecticut delegation expressed their opposition to the bill. They are Rep. John D. Nc Williams, Norwich and Rep. B. J. Monkiewicz, New Britain.
 Under the Green-LucaS bill a commission as set up by the Presi- dent would set up the qualified tions for voters and the methods of holding elections and the manner of taking the vote; all of which are states rights as guaranteed by the constitution.
 Connecticut already has proper legislation for the handling of ab- sentee ballots which can be for warded to the soldiers overseas in ample time for them to mail them back for recording.
 The qualifications for voters and the mtehod of holding elections and the manner of taking the vote has always been function of our state governments, not the federal gov ernment, and 1t should remain so, MT. Talbot stated

Disruptive tension between our actual and desired selves is vari- ously caused. Parents often pro- feet into the imaginations of their children ideals. and ambitions ut terly out of keeping with the ap- titudes and abilities of the children themselves.
 One mother, aspiring to be a singer and frustrated in her own career, transferred her ambition to her daughter. Into her daugh- ters susceptible imagination she poured her own unattainable as- pirations, and did it the more per- suasively and remorselessly be- cause she conceived her motive as maternal love. The daughter, in consequence, unfitted for the im- posed role, found herself at last with an imagination preoccupied by one ambition and 8 conscience committed to it as a sacred duty, but with an impossible chasm be- tween her actual and her desired self. For the tragic disruption that ensued before the daughter could be brought to accept herself, the mother was responsible.
 This emphasis is the more need ed because popular stress is com- monly laid upon the other side. To have large ambitions, to expect the most of ourselves, to attempt even the seemingly impossible and achieve it-is not this the mark of admirable personality?
 The answer, of course, is affirm ative, but that answer needs to be chastened by the fact that the be- ginning of wise ambition lies in a mans accepting himself as himself and not as someone else, and in trying to make the most and the best of that self and not of an- other. Mistakes at this initial point carry heavy penalty.
 From Periclean Greece to mod ern Nazidom, how diverse have been the cultures into which hu- man individuals have been bornl Nothing runs deeper in human na- ture than the desire to be appre- ciated. and in whatever cultural setting 8 man grows up, he nor- mally tries to succeed according to its characteristic standards.
 Despite the fact that culture powerfully helps to make 8 per- cay, rr,I,ot bo ic ho y,,ou fiy,d oc millions do, that channeling his life down the river-bed where the main expectations of his current civilization run, involves the de- nial of everything that he natively was meant to be and do. Such tension, 50 caused, is one of mans major tragedies.
 No individual self = acceptance alone can solve so vast a problem in its public aspects, but multitudes of individuals, recognizing the na-

CAR INDUSTRIES WAR OUTPUT A
 BILLION A YEAR
By ANTHONY c. DeLODENZO United Press Staff COrresp0hdent)

By ANTHONY c. DeLODENZO United Press Staff COrresp0hdent) Detroit, Dec. 3 - CU.P) - The automotive industry's war output has reached the $10O00, 900, ,000-a- year mark, a rate double its peak civilian production before the war, and still is climbing.
 Records of the Automobile Manu- lecturers Association show that the industry's production of war mater ial-guns, shells. tanks, aircraft and motorized equipment-during the first seven months of the year ex- ceeded the entire output of 1922.
 The industry's banner car and truck production year was l941, when dollar-volume of $3,703, ,000,- GOO was reached. However, this included manufacture of quantity og military vehicles. The previous high point was a $3,413, 100000 vol tune year in 1929.
 The converted passenger-car builders biggest contribution to the war effort is, oddly enough, in the field of aircraft. Production of air. craft completed planes, sub assemblies, engines and parts - comprises more than 40 per cent of the industry's gross delivery rate of $10,000, 100000 yearly.
 The industry's output of aircraft materiel will be even greater as new facilities are tapped and max imum output is achieved in present factories from coast to coast. Even tually it will comprise 50 per cent of car manufacturers total war production.
 Foundation for the industry's air. craft program was laid three years ago during meeting of manufac- turers with Lieutenant General William s. Knudsen, then a mem- Der of the National Defense Advis- ory Commission, in 8 vacant gro- cery store here. Knudsen proposed that passenger makers under take $50O,000,O00 worth of subcon- tracting on the original heavy bomber program.
 Utilizing the assembly line meth ods for which it long has been noted, they already have turned out more than $4,00O,0Oo,00O worth of airplanes, engines and aircraft equipment. Today industry plants in 31 states are pouring out air. craft units at rate of $11,00o,O daily. The rate is still soaring.
 The industry now is producing ready -to-fy assemblies of four dif- ferent types of aircraft and is gear ing plants to begin work on two more. It also is fabricating parts and sub-assemblies for II other types of combat craft and 12 diff ferent types of airplane engines.

ture of the difficulty and seeing clearly what is happening to them might solve their own problems Especially in free countries, with many diversities of choice and with various groups whose appreciation may be sought, this problem com monly arises in a form that the wise individual can handle.
 Tchaikowsky was a lawyer before he became a musician; Gauguin was a banker a decade before he became an artist; Herschel played the organ in small church and gave lessons to amateur pianists before he became a great scientist.
 One consulting psychologist even found ranchman, who had been born a ranchman, who supposed he always must be a ranchman, and who was trying to be good one although utterly unfitted for it, but who wanted above all else to paint pictures. Daring to accept himself when he was past 40, he actually did paint pictures that were exhi- bited in leading galleries. If one is going to be real person, self-dis- covery and self-acceptance are primary.
 Alec Templeton entertains mill lions over the radio with his music and amuses them with his whim- sicalitieS. He is stone blind. The first natural response to such crip- bling disadvantage is an imagina- tion thronged with pictures of the unattainable, and from the con- trast between them and the &C., qualities commonly spring resent ment, cynicism, seH-pity, inertia.
 The human story, however, has nothing finer to present than handicapped men and women who, accepting themselves, have illus trated what Dr. Alfred Adler called "the human beings power to turn a minus into 8 plus" Always, be- hind such personal triumph lies an act of self-acceptance
 Only so, for example, could Dr. Edward Livingston Trudeau, driv- en from his profession in New York City by tuberculosis, ever have written: "The struggle with tuberculosis has brought me ex- periences and left me recollections which I never could have known otherwise, and which I would not exchange for the wealth of the In- dieS!"

BRITISH WOMEN
 SEEK SHARE IN
 HOUSE SAVINGS
BY DUDLEY ANN HARMON United Press Staff Correspondent

Bx DUDLEY ANN HAMMON United Press Staff Correspondent
 London, Dec. 3-(UP) British housewives, who cope cheerfully with medieval household applianc- es, are displaying a rebellious spirit against the recent High Court of Appeals ruling that what they sa,e from housekeeping allowances be- longs to their husbands.
 Led by Dr. Edith Summerskill. & Labor Member of Parliament, wo- men are planning to present peti- tion for repeal of a law passed in 1886 and just upheld in London.
 T have placed my resolution be- fore the House and. while the struggle will be a long and hard one, this is the first request-con- cerning economic status for 5000, = 900 housewives-of its ;.ind," Dr.. Summerskill told the United Press.
 Dr. Summersklls resolution asks that women be guaranteed a req Sonable share in household savings. The Married Women's Association of Britain wants stronger action equal financial status of wife with husband.
 "If a man earns &6 week." says an association official, and f4 goes for housekeeping, the husband should divide the remaining @ with his wife"
 The current row Is the result of an event which took place 12 years ago.
 At that time Mrs. Dorothy Black well, an Oxford housewife, joined 8 cooperative society with money saved by taking in lodgers. She did all the work for the boarders herself. When she separated from her husband in 1941, an Oxford judge ruled that the f100 she saved in the cooperative belonged to her husband. His decision was upheld at Court of Appeals trial in Lon don last month.
 In handing down the ruling, three men judges opined that, if a housewife were allowed to appro- priate savings from her allowance, she might skimp on her husbands food. They alleged that, if this were to become law, husbands would be fearful of giving their wives more than the minimum amount.
 The British housewife disagrees.
 T think husband and wife should share equally" said four out of five women I stopped on London streets today.
 The Married Womens Associa- ton and the newspapers have been deluged with irate letters from housewives since the ruling. A ty- pical one says, If housewife can use her talent to scrimp even a shilling a week from her allowance, she deserves not only that shilling, but a halo.''
 A British housewife slaves twice as long and hard as her American counterpart. know, because with the lack of wartime maids, I've be- come one. My flat is in the most modern part of London, but in my spare time I struggle with a "gey- ser," supposed to heat water but apt to go temperamental. I haul my garbage down three flights of stairs-there's no lift. make my fires, instead of depending on cen tral heating, and clear away the ashes.
 The repeal of the 1856 law is only one phase of 8 blanket bill" women hope to see Parliament pass abolishing 30 discriminatory acts against their sex. Praised by men for their heroic part in the war ef- fort, they resent being paid less than men on the same war job losing their citizenship when they marry foreigners-and other dis criminatory rulings.

 Twas that was happy My life filled with cheer, I never had Texas, Till the Army brought me here. I'd heard songs of her beauty Pretty Girls and strong men, Rolling plains and majestic mountains, Just heaven from end to end. The thing that is certain (of this there's denyng) The guy that started all that noise, Did heck of job of lying. Deep in the heart of Texas, There is sand in all eat, The girls they bow-legged The boys they have flat feet. Why did they have to send Us here to sit in sad dejection, Out in the lonely desert For this durned states protection. Down here the is hotter, Down here the rain Is wetter- They think it is the very best state, But there is forty-seven better.
