Ny Day
By ELEANOR ROOSEVELT

Northampton, Mass, Wednesday The University of Connecticut, which we visited yesterday, has Q large student body and many acc tivities, After n general assembly, at which spoke, we went over to see the short courses given to girls and women who wish to volunteer for work on the land. Two weeks Is allotted to specific subject. For instance, you take Q dairy course or Q poultry course, and really know something about the care of COWS and chickens at the end of two weeks, If you want to continue, you may do so.
 Women who are not giving c definite time to agricultural work but want to learn how to work on their own farms because their hus- bands have gone of to war, or be- cause less labor Is available, are allowed to take the course. They pay fifteen dollars a week. The dairy students get up at 4:30 in the morning and finish at 5:30 in the afternoon. They actually work with 6 very fine herd of COWS, each girl having charge, at different periods, of four COWS all by herself
 All of the girls told me they would feel quite capable of holding Job on the farm and that they were enjoying the course. Most of them come from small town or city backgrounds and some of them have never done any manual labor of this kind before.
 Of course, until the government sets up this as regular war service, there will not be great number of women entering 1t. I imagine there is still a good deal to be done be. fore we win over the farmers of this country to the idea that girl can do as good work as man. Necessity has forced this upon the farmers in Great Britain and. I presume, the farmers of Russia, China and many other countries as well. We lucky ones shall take Q little longer to see that women, once they have been trained. are valuable and can release men, but we shall learn in the end

 '"The united effort" according to Col, Hewes. twill be something waste ly more important than just an- other War Bond drive"
 In the First War Loan in Decem- Der. the Victory Fund committed disposed of over $S00,000,000 in Treasury issues in Connecticut, of which over $240, 100000 were sold in the Hartford region. Tn view of the accelerated program for the Second War Loan and the amalgamation of the two bond selling staffs, It is an- ticipated that the Connecticut quota will be in excess of the First War Loan sales.
 All Communities
 Col. Hewes has been in confer ences with state and New England officials of the Victory Fund com- mittce, and the preliminary discus slons have resulted in q decision to involve every city. town and village in Connecticut in the April under taking. John M. Hurley. director of promotion and public relations for the Connecticut War Savings stan, has been designated by Col Hewes to develop a statewide pro- motlonal program that will unite and coordinate the activities of the two groups.
 "In this special April drive" Col Hewes declared. both groups will sell all Treasury issues. The Vic. tory Fund workers for the most part will concentrate on all issues except the low denomination Series F War Bond, while the War Savings stafi will devote its major attention to the popular E Bonds and the Payroll Savings Plan. Each will specialize in the field in which 1t has prover It's greatest effectiveness in the past"

Preliminary plans for the great. est war financing effort ever under. taken in Connecticut were revealed today by Col, Thomas Hewes, state administrator of the War Savings staff, In announcing the union of his state organization with the Con- necticut Victory fund committee from April i2 to May 1 to raise Connecticut's quota of the SIS, S,000,- . 100000 Second War Loan.
 It will be part of Q nationwide drive by the U. 6. Treasury War Finance committee which is headed by the governors of Federal Reserve banks. The drive in all counties of Connecticut, except Fairfield. will be under the general direction of Will liam w. Paddock of the First Fed- eral District, Boston. Fairfield Coun- ty will be under the Jurisdiction of Allan Sproul of the Second Federal Reserve District. New York City. The Connecticut members Of the War Finance committee are Col, Thomas Hewes of Hartford, state administrator of the War Savings staff, and Robert B. Newell of Hart ford and John J. McKeon of New Haven, co-chairmen of the Victory Fund committee. MT. Newell also Is chairman of the State Advisory War Savings committee.
 Higher Denominations
 Tn the past, the Victory Fund committees, which are composed largely of bankers and investment house representatives, have concen- trated on the sale of the higher denomination of Treasury issues while, the War Savings staff has dealt exclusively with the low de- nomination Series E War Bond.
 During April. the entire War Saw ings group, including the state staff in Hartford and many hundreds of volunteer men and women who arc members of War Savings commit tees in every community in the state, will coordinate their activities and program with the Victory Fund organization.

INCREASE SUPPLIES

INCREASE SUPPLIES
The WAS action in eliminating
Slaughterirg quotas for the first
two fall months, it was estimated,
will increase overall civilian sup
Plies of meat by about 20 per cent
The OPA also ordered downward
revisions in the point values of 10
Kosher meat items. In the meat
point adjustments Kosher and
other, only one item-veal sweet
breads-showed an increase.
All lamb and mutton items, with
the exception OF breast and flank,
and some variety meats, were Or
dered reduced by one point. Also
cut one point were beef rib cuts
roast and Steak-and sirloin steak,
along with a few pork items.
Most bacon cuts were ordered re-
duced by two points.
Placed on the point tab'e for the
first time were canned fish prod
uctS which contain more than 20
Der cent of rationed fish, such as
sandwich spreads and fish paste.
They will cost IL points.
OPA officials said that the meat
revisions were made possible by
prospects that the nations meat
stores would have about seven per
cent more meat in September than
! in August. The emphasized, how
ever, that this seasonal improve
ment would not permit substantial
reductions in all meat point values.
PORK SUPPLY UP
The civilian supply Of pork in
September, it was said is expected
to be about 13 per cent above that
available in August and five per
cent above July. Lamb production is
running ahead of earlier estimates
and the peak production period has
been entered.
The beef situation, officials said,
is tighter than that in lamb and
cork. The amount of beef in retail
stores available for civilian con-
sumption in September will be only
about two per cent above August
supplies. At the same time, officials
pointed out that beef production
does not usually reach a seasonal
peak until after october l.
No changes were made in the
point value of lard, shortening,
cheese and other rationed fats, oils
md dairy products. Movement of
these products was reported to be
in line with civiliSn supplies allo-
Gated by the war food administra-
ton.
OPA officials made no effort to
conceal their apprehension about
the butter situation. For the ii, st
time, creamery butter and farm"
butter were listed separately and
given different point values.
Country butter was assigned a
value of six points per pound, COM
pared with the new creamery but
ter value of u points a pound.

Woman Says She

INDIANAPOLIS Sept 2.-UP)-
A 27-year-old woman claimed to-
day she killed WAC Corporal
Maoma l.. Rulings, Warm Springs
Ga, whose mutilated body was
found Saturday night in a hotel
room, but police said they doubted
her story.
She rode in taxi to police head
quarters to shout: "go ahead and
take me! I killed Corporal Rid
ings!"
Officers arrested her for drunk
enness and vagrancy. They planned
to question her further, however.
They also arrested a 19-year-old
youth who accompanied her to the
station.
, Lieut.. Joel Jones of the homicide
squad said Robert Wellington, %,
hotel bellboy, still was the chief
murder suspect. But Jones state
ment that the case had entered a

IS Cuts ofMedt
Cost Less Points

WASHINGTON, Sept 2. tUP)-
The Office of Price Administration
today adjusted red and blue ration
point values in a move which, ef-
fective Sunday, will make 35 meat
cuts and some vegetables cheaper
on a point basis but will add to
the point cost of butter and l3
processed foods.
The OPA reduced the ratiOning
cost of 35 meat cuts by one to two
points Shortly after the war food
administration suspended limita-
tions on livestock slaughtering for
September and October. The point
value of creamery butter was rails
ed from 10 to IL points pound.
These changes, effective from
Sept S through Oct. 2, were die
tated by what OPA officials called

DAYS ITINERARY
Now I have given you a days
itinerary and I can begin to tell
you some of the things you must
want to know. Let me first tell
you what a debt of gratitude every
woman at home owes to the Army
and Navy nurses out here They
are not living very comfortably
They are seeing daily sights that
must try their fortitude, for they
are women. But every one I saw
was smiling.
A pretty, jaunty, little lady who
lunched with me, flies in the trans
port planes that bring men in from
the front. She must have inspired
more sense of security for the men
than anyone except their mothers
could. She made the men feel
they can hold out in spite of pain
when the temptation to give up
must be great
Next to the nurses come the Red
Cross girls. Miss Marie Coletta
Ryan is the American Red Cross
Supervisor of the South Pacific
area and as far as I can see no one
could do better job. Materials
have been lacking, supplies have
been delayed because of shipping
difficulties, and housing for her
girls has been a constant problem.
There are never enough people to
do the work and yet it gets done.
My hat is off to every woman
working in this area.
Now to the hospitals. They are
manned largely by reserve and
volunteer doctors, dentists, surgeons
and pSychiatrists, many of them the
Jest men to be found in their pro-
fessions. Their equipment is, on
the whole, remarkable. When they
are set Up in Quonsett huts or
portable buildings, it seems almost
like hospital at home. In many
cases, however, they must use
tents. These are gloomy and the
dark hospital beds everywhere are
army cots with thin mattresses
which cannot give a wounded and
exhausted man the idea that he has
a luxurious bed The care, how.
ever, Is the best that can be given
and the men appreciate it.

peoples would lie allowed full free
dom of choice. This was qualified
later, however, to exclude allied
military or defense considerations.
In other words, the allies reserved
sites or bases regarded as vital to
defense.
