invited for this occasion as we feel
that Waterbury Is very fortunate to
be able to have the distinguished
guest who viii display moving pic
lures on gardening, added Mr.
Derwin.
Motion Pictures
Another moving picture entitled
Gardens Of Victory" will be shown
at the meeting by the local War
Garden committee. This Aim Is mar
rated by Basil Ruysdail, Lucky
Strike program announcer. Authori-
ties consider this one Of the best
films on the subjects Of gardening
and describe 1t as being well-writ-
ten and highly inspirational to the
aspiring gardener.
Waterbury's War gardeners are
particularly requested to attend be-
cause this meeting will be consid-
cred as the official send-oR for the
War Gardening campaign.
Prof. Wilkinson told the Demo-
crat that economies in time, labor
and materials will result from the
rapid increase Of community gar
den projects throughout Connecti-
cut.
One of the most important Of
these savings will be In the conser-
walton of tools, which are none too
plentiful. While blowing offers the
most obvious saving in many cases,
Mr.. Wilkinson points out that fami-
lies can share many of the smaller
tools.
Suggested plans for community
gardens are available from tho
University of Connecticut. An i'm
portant feature of a community
garden plan is to provide sufficient
roads and walks TO allow easy ac-
cess to each plot without congestion
or confusion. In many communities
city or town engineers have taken
over the task Of laying out the
! garden plans.
Garden Clubs
Mr.. Wilkinson thinks it desirable
that persons working on a COM
munity garden project form a club
and elect officers. The fewer the
rules the better, but misunder-
standings may be avoided If the
members make their own rules.
Thriving from the gardens Is some
times a problem ana can be con-
trolled better by group action than
by individual initiative.
Whether or not the community
garden plots have a paid supervisor,
some form Of supervision is desir-
able. In many small community
garden groups and expected gar
dener can be found who will be
willing to take over informal sup
ervision. Funds In some instances
are supplied from public sources OF
by donations to take care Of neces-
sary overall costs such as blowing
etc. Where clubs are organized some
Of these costs can be taken care Of
by assessments.
In general, says Prof. Wilkinson

STRATEGY OF
WAR IS TOLD
BY ADM. KING
Russia and China to Be
Aided All Possible
Ways Now

WASHINGTON, Aug Admiral
Ernest King outlined today world
Allied strategy aimed at keeping
China in the war against Japan
and exerting every possible effort
to assist Russia by diverting German
forces from the Russian front.
The Commander of the United
States Fleet said that in the Pacific
area the Allies are following CON
certed plan of operations" to put
increasing pressure on Jap COM
munications and also to capture
strategic positions which will ZEN
able us to give the enemy more hell
as we go along.
GuadalcanaI Anniversary
King discussed the war in an in
terview granted at the request Of
press association reporters He had
been asked particularly to discuss
the situation in the Pacific. This is
the anniversary of the start of the
conquest of Guadalcanal, the first
American offensive operation of the
war
King said: Boiled down to the
simplest terms and oversimplified
the grand strategy of the war in
Europe is:
Russia has the geographical posi-
ton and manpower which is para
mount with regards to Germany
Tn order to take advantage of
this situation two things follow. We
must get in there and implement
this manpower and exploit that posi-
ton. 1t further follows that the
Allies are bound to exert every pos
sible effort to divert German forces
from the Russian front so Russia
can do even better
China Is Same
The Admiral declared with regard
to the war on Japan the position Of
China is somewhat analogous to
that of Russia in the war on Ger
MANY and Italy. Operations in the
Pacific. he said, to date in general
terms are rather more than what is
commonly called holding operations
because we have a general plan
whereby we maintain unremitting
pressure on the Japanese wherever
they may be got at with the means
available

Red Army Threatens Khdr-
kov and Bryansk-
Pushing On

MOSCOW, Aug. Information
has been received from Russian
guerrillas behind the German lines
that evacuation of the civilian popu-
lation in the Smolensk area is being
carried out by the Nazis.
Smolensk is 200 miles west of
Moscow and is probably the most
important German base in all Rus
sia
1t is endangered by the complete
deflation of the Orel salient to the
southeast as the Russians already
hold positions less than so miles to
the northeast between Yartsevo and
wanna
Information from partisans said
the Germans are moving their pop
ulation to the west and are also
taking away all metal and other
potential war materials, even the tin
roofs of houses.
The two main army groups which
outflanked Kharkov in the quick
drive through to Belgorod arg
threatening he rear Of oernaif
positions around that third largest
city of Russia. Front line dispatches
said the Russians descended the
valley by way of the Uby River and
are racing through zolochev, little
more than Is miles northwest of
Kharkov in a flank attack similar
to the action further north which
drove the Germans from Orel and
opened the way for simultaneous
pushes toward Bryansk.
Both Bryansk and Kharkov are
threatened in the drive.

The W ASKING ton
Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
tMajor Robert g. Allen on active duty)

WASHINGTON. - Though 1T
hasn't got all the publicity OF the
coal mine strike, one of the tough
est labor problems FDR faces is
the threatened strike of 100000
incorporating railroad workers.
What the President is up against
is overriding one of his top and
ablest administrators, Judge Fred
Vinson, new Economic Stabilizer,
or facing a possible strike OF R.R.
clerks, machinists, telegraphers and
shop-workers.
What happened was that a spec
ial emergency panel appointed by
the President recommended a blan-
ket wage increase for the nom
operating railway workers. But
Economic Stabilizer Vinson turned
the recommendation down as in
flationary and contrary to the War
Labor Boards Little Steel wage
ceiling formula.
Wilson has compiled a careful
study of wages and prices, contends
that prices actually have been
rolled back more than labor real
ICES: also that labor's total take,
figuring in overtime rather than
Just the hourly wage rate, is high
err than the price rise.
So he held the line against the
special panels recommendation.
Whereupon william Leiserson'
chairman of the Mediation Board
and George Harrison, head OF the
Railway Clerks, went to the White
House and held long session en-
deavoring to override Judge VIM
son. They came away confident
that they had succeeded. The Pres
ident seemed sympathetic, ano
Harrison reported back to his UNI
ion that he was on their side.
Actually, however, the President
sent note to Judge Vinson ask
ing him TO check regarding the
situation, and 1t doesn't look as il
he would overrule his Economic
Stabilizer.
If he stands pat, the President
and the nation face the danger
of a serious railway strike. How
ever, White House advisers are
confident that rail workers will be
more patriotic than John l.. Lewis;
also are shrewd enough to see the
terrific national reaction against
labor which resulted from the coal
miners strike.

Synthetic, Natural
Rubber Will Soon 60
To Mai In Big Fight
(Second of two articles on u. S.
rubber probIems.)
BY JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, Aug, Tin the
coming battle of rubber between
synthetic and natural, if there were
nothing more at stake than the
development of new industry
which would further increase the
world leadership and independence
of the United States, without placing
heavy money burden on the peo-
pie, there would be no argument.
Those battling for concentration
on the development of natural rub
Der in the Western Hemisphere ar
que that such wouldn't be the case
at all
Their summary seems to add up
to these contentious.
ID That synthetic rubbers can
never be produced as cheaply as
natural and that high tariffs and
direct subsidies will have to be es-
tablished to protect the industry
against natural rubber competition.
The result: John @. Taxpayer will
get it in the neck again. while an
infant industry grows to lusty man
hood and its parents get rich.
co That the agricultural lab
oratory can produce in Latin AM
erica cheaper rubber and better
strains than have been given the
world thus far. Even natural rubber
that will do the few things for
which only synthetic now can be
used.
90 That hemisphere prosperity,
by returning to Latin America the
natural rubber industry which was
thriving there before the British and
Dutch took it 70 the South Pacific,
will more than offset any sacrifices
the United States will have to make
in lending helping hand and FORE
going the development OF another
subsidized industry.
For a full exposition Of the sub
ject. | refer you to DR.. Earl N.
Bressman, director Of the inter-
American Institute of Agricultural
Sciences, an agency sponsored by
! the Pan American Union and Nelson
A. Rockefelier's Office OF the Co
ordinator Of nter-American AT
fairs.
Where Rubber Director William
LETTERS may be singled out as the
spokesman for the synthetic rubber
proponents, then certainly Doctor
Bressman is spokesman for the nat
ural rubber hackers in this country,
In his capacity as director of the
Inter American Institute, Doctor
Bressman now has at his fingertips
the whole Of the rubber development
program in the Is Latin American
countries with which the United
States is now working
He can tell you why rubber is so
adaptable to the small. one-family
farms and how it can bring pros
perity to great areas OF our tropical
hemisphere. He can explain why
