Second Slash Due
In Newsprint April |
WPB Says New Reduction
or 10 Per Cent PIonned
Earlier Story on Page AZ

axe h-A.)
The War Production Board an
nounced today that a second cut of
10 per cent in the use of news print
was indicated about April !.
The WPB announcement said the
best available figures on the print
paper situation indicate" that the
10 per cent cut will be adequate to
meet the current situation caused by
the war" Newspapers have already
had their news print supply reduced
by 10 per cent by an order made
effective last month.
Such an additional cut is COM
PEELED solely by war needs and fac
tors of papers production" the WPB
said Its application is in line with
the initial policy OF solving this
problem by one or more moderate
reductions.
Equitable ALLEGATION of the print
paper available after April l should
not work undue hardship upon any
publication nor handicap its essen
tial service to the Nation in war
time. The present cut in use of
print paper went into effect in
January.
las in the case of the first order
governing the use of print paper,
the second order will deal only with
the ALLEGATION of the available sup
ply, WPB will not attempt to say
how the publisher shall use his
print paper allotment" g
The program was decided on after
consultation between w. G. Chan
dler, director OF WPB Printing and
Publishing Division; Donald j.
Sterling, consultant on newspaper
and publishing industries, and other
officials.
1t was explained that the state
ment revealing plans for the second
cut was made because Of the widely
varying reports which have been
circulating as to additional cuts to
be made in the use Of print paper. -

At one of his few press confer
ences Gen. de Gaulle conceded that
some steps have been taken toward

try"
: This referred to- the announce
ment by. the new regime set up by
Gen. Giraud that 1t would abolish
anti-Jewish' legislation and, review
the cases Of persons imprisoned. on
political charges. These two. points
coincide with. Gen. de Gaulle's policy
and their adoption presumably would
bring him closer to Gen., Giraud.
Favors Laws Of French Republic.
Gen. de .Gaulle reiterated, how
ever, that the. only basis on which
complete fusion of French interests
would be possible would be complete
restoration Of the laws Of the French
republic in North Africa.
It was the first time in almost a
year that the Fighting French lead
er had faced newspapermen, and
the conference obviously was called
to give him an opportunity to state
his position with respect to the new
regime in North Africa.
He said the international press
had depicted the French political
problem as a. struggle between him
self, and Gen. Giraud.
That is very bad joke, in very
bad. taste" he said. What France
wants is not an agreement between
two generals. The questions are
much more serious than that.
What is necessary is to expel the
enemy from France and restore the
French republic
Wants Liberation From Vichy.
Gen. De Gaulle said he and the
members of his National Committee
had studied the announcement OF
Gen. Giraud's new government and
found it based neither on the laws OF
the republic nor the laws of Vichy
ut is neither one thing nor an
other" he asserted.
Gen. De Gaulle reiterated his
fears of the effect in metropolitan
France of the retention of Vichy-
appointed ofncials in North Africa
1T is question basically of what
the United Nations are fighting
for" he said.
Gen. De Gaulle said that he
wanted to see a provisional author
ity established for the French En-
pire, based on the laws of France
and containing as many officials as
possible who were elected in France
before the armistice.
He declared liberation from Vichy
was as important as liberation from
the Nazis.

Local Block Leaders Also
Attend Hartford Meet
ing; Plans Adopted

Waterburian civilian defenders
and block plan leaders were present
at the mass meeting and address
given by Mrs. Franklin Delano
Roosevelt at the Bushnell Memorial
in Hartford last night.
In short, Mrs. Roosevelt declared,
I'm many countries the home-front
and the battlefront are practically
the same thing. In Britain, the
enemy is always 10 or 20 miles away,
and the war is with you "a hours a
day. 1t makes 1t easier for those
on the home-front to put in a kind
of urgency which Is hard for us TO
comprehend over here.
"Yet 1t Is an urgency which We
must get, because 1t makes every
thing possible and gets things done"
Mrs. Donald j. Post, chairman OF
the Waterbury block plan, civilian
defense, pointed out that many OF
the recommended projects OF the
Hartford neighborhood plan for
block leaders will be adopted here.
Interest was expressed by local
leaders In the program Of the Wo-
mems Land Army Emergency corps,
as outlined by Mrs. Joseph Alsop OF
Hartford. This plan provides for
placement of part-time workers to
aid farmers with seasonal crops and
to alleviate the farm labor shortage.

Tribute to Engineers
Professor Hardy Cross Of Yale
University. in speaking on THE Edu-
cation Of Civil Engineer" ex-
tolled the achievements OF United
States engineers as a great epic Of
American accomplishment.
ut Is an epic that tells Of the
tunneling Of the Alleghenies and
the bridging Of the western rivers,
the crossing of the Sierras and the
development of the Pacific coast"
ne said. I'VE shall have more con-
facts in the future with foreign work
that We have had in the past. Does
this anticipate that we should
change materially our approach to
the education of the civil engineer?
In the young men with whom I am
I think not. have enough faith
now In contact to believe that II ]
can give them some concept of the
importance Of judicious wanting,
some training In digesting evidence,
some interest in the use customs and
convenience Of mankind, they will
be able to adapt themselves to new
problems and new materials.
Il do not propose to launch out
upon unrestricted admiration for
engineering as mental discipline on
the one hand, nor am inclined to
agree with those engineers who
habitually criticize and belittle the
general intellectual attainmentS of
their colleagues. There are four
elements Of intellectual training
worthy Of mention. First, the civil
engineer should be persistent. There
is here no discussion as to whether
We want to regiment humanity or
whether we want complete freedom
for everyone at all times. We all
agree that we want more individual
ism in design and more standardiza-
ton In detail. The civil engineer
is primarily conscious and intimate
~ concerned over the consequences,
social and political. Of the works
he has In hand. If there Is any
blame here 1t seems to me 1t Is to
be placed on the promoters and the
financierS and not upon the engi-
neer.
Second, We note coordination Of
analysis and Synthesis. Our
age almost certainly tends to carry
analysis too far.
1.-THE educated civil engineer uses
many languages. He speaks In terms
of the symbolism of equations. he
writes graphically through pictures
and sketches and curves and draw
ings and he uses words-words from
the laboratory. words from the field
Of construction. words from every
day life.
"Most important in this picture Of
design is the sense Of scale. Some
men never seem to get IL. the abil-
ity to put first things first, the abil-
ity to weigh the consequences Of
failure and adapt a factor OF safety
to the probability and to the con-
sequences.
civil engineering is forever
changing and adapts itself to con-
slant change and yet the more it
changes the more 1t remains the
same"

MILK DELIVERIES
ZONE PLAN seen
BOwIes' Suggestion Per-
mits Many Drivers to Ac.
cept War Plant Jobs

Hartford, Conn.,, March %. Cup
State OPA Director Chester
BowleS today suggested q coming
plan for home milk deliveries,
wherein one dealer would be as
signed to a territory, probably would
save gasoline, oil, milage and permit
hundreds Of milk drivers to go into
war jobs.
BowleS said the plan would cut
delivery mileage oy IS per cent,
Large dealers, he said, would cover
large zones, and small dealers small
ones. The saving, he said, would
benefit the farmer directly, and he
would get a higher price for his
milk because Of reduced dealer
costs.
Meantime, a group Of independent
milk producers in the Enfield area
informed State Milk Administrator
Donald o. Hammerberg that unless
they got q higher price for their
milk they would have to go out OF
buSsines.
The producers have started Q peti-
ton which will be circulated
throughout the state, and q copy
will be presented to the OPA which
has placed a ceiling on the milk
price.
