Rep. William H. Blodgett, r.,
Wine hester, objected to the has.
with which the Dill was rammed
through, but was satisfied when Bar
low said it was the only barrier to
completing the budget. Barlow said
the budget probably would be SUBJ
nlitted to the Legislature Friday,
which meant it would be acted up
on early next week.
Senate and House buckled down
to business today in the hope of
meeting the desire of leaders to ad-
journ sine die by May IA.
The Senate approved a SIS, 485
deficiency appropriation to the
state library committee, and an
other of $4,000 for the state comp
troller, but deferred action on a
Tad appropriation bill giving $10l,-
773 to the war council.
1t also approved eight Water
bury city charter amendments and
another Waterbury bill giving the
Waterbury director of purchases
a salary of $4,000 year and max
ing the job lifetime position,
with removal only for cause.
Other bills set the mayor of Tor
ringtons salary at $500 year and
provided S. per meeting for coun-
cilmen; authorized selectlhen to ap-
point trial justices; provided for a
refund of property taxes on auto
mobiles when collected by two
municipalities, and exempted ar
mored cars from truck regulations.

TOTO SAYS JAPS
READY FOR KILL
Speech Believed Effort to
Overawe Filipinos Still
Resisting Invaders
by UNITED PRESS

Premier Hideki TOTO of Japan,
author of the SNEAK" war on the
United States and Great Britain, in
a speech in Manila on the first an
niversary of the fall of Corregidor,
said today that Japan was now
ready to strike such blow that it
would be coup de grace to Japan's
enemies.
He told 100000 Filipinos, radio
Tokyo said, that Japan had occupied
all strategic regions of eastern Asia
and the Pacific and Indian oceans
and was now poised to strike a
strong and decisive blow
His speech apparently was an eff
fort to overawe the Filipinos who
continue resisting the Japanese. in
vaders to the best of their ability.
His visit to Manila on the ami
versary of Corregidor's fall also
seemed part Of the japanese effort
to convince the natives that further
resistance was useless.
1t was made while his Axis part
ner, Germany, was broadcasting re-
ports that the future for Japan was
not as rosy as he indicated. Radio
Berlin said that America had COM
pleted its powerful Alaska base from
which 1t planned to launch a gigan-
tic offensive on the japanese posi-
lions in the Aleutian Islands which
would menace Japan proper.
His clustering speech was in con-
trast to the observance of the an
niversary of Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur who, from his headquarters
in Australia where in the past year
he has directed much of the fight
ing that stemmed the southwark
conquest Of the Japanese, issued a
statement reminding America of its
obligations.

of the New York Times.
Stain said Russia "unquestion-
ably, wished to see strong and in
dependent Poland after the war and
suggested. should the Polish people
so desire" an alliance providing for
mutual assistance against the Ger
mans as the chief enemies of the
Soviet Union and Poland.
Sikorski agreed with Stain that
the Germans "have been for ages

of both poles and Russians" and
said his government stood ready to

Other American infantry strongly
attacked southeastWard from Mateur
toward Tebourba junction, pushing
on beyond Eddekhila to point less
than six miles from Tebourba.
(Tebourba is key to the defense
of Tunis. It's fall would open tn
Tunis plains to the Allies)
There were indications that. the
German defense of Bizerte, one of
the greatest naval bases in the Medi-
terranean, could not be continued
over long period despite its strong
land defenseS.
The Germans have been forced
back so rapidly in the region around
Lake Achkel, where American troops
mopped up Germans who tried to
escape from Djebel Achkel, that
they have not had much time to
lay mine fields and may not have
enough time to complete demolition
Of the naval base.
Most of the enemy troops are
withdrawing TO the east and gener-
ally in the direction of Tunis rather
than toward Bizerte, which is now
threatened with isolation from the
rest of the German defense front.
1t has been expected that the
Germans would make their last
stand at Tunis and then in the hills
of Cap Bon, east of Tunis.

Unprecedented WLB Ac=

Open to Press
LATEST UNION SNUB NO
SURPRISE TO ANYONE
Little Hope of Completing
Hearings Before Truce
Ends May 10
BY FRED BAILEY
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent,

(Umted freSS stair correspondent
, Washington, May 6. -
+. CUP - A War Labor Board
panel resumed hearings in
the national dispute toda.'
without benefit of coopera-
ton from John L. Lewis.
Representatives Of both
northern and southern coal
operators appeared for the
closed session, which started
at 10 a. M, but no officials of
Lewis United Mine Workers showed
up.
Later the panel, in an unprece-
dented action, threw the hearing
open to the press.
The UNIV snub, latest in long
series, did not surprise anyone. The
panel, meanwhile, had little hope
of completing its hearings before
the 15-day coal strike truce ends
May 10.
Government Prepared
But the government is preparing
for any eventualitieS.
Solid Fuels Administrator Harold
l.. Ickes signed an order last night
enabling him to seize coal, if neces-
Sary, to protect war plants and es-
sential civilian users from Short
ages.
War Production Board Chairman
Donald M. Nelson is delaying con-
sidering Of a recommendation for a
national dimout pending the out
come of the truce. In event the
coal strike is resumed, Nelson prob
ably would agree to a dimout.
Another likely action in event of
resumption of the strike is a ban
on all non-essential transportation.
Ickes requested Defense Transport
ton Director Joseph B. Eastman TO
do that before the truce, but he, too,
now awaits Inc end Of the truce.

market is tight such as the fall and

t The board again has requested
President John L. Lewis of the
United Mine Workers to appear be-
fore the three-man fact-finding
panel at. 10 a. m. today. Lewis
snubbed the boaro on previous invi-
tations, and odds were that he
would again.
The panel suspended hearings
when the board referred the strike
to President Roosevelt last week.
1t was named originally to consider
only the bituminous dispute, but has
been designated also to take up the
anthracite dispute later.

II AZ NEWS or OUR
80 -: "I Ss, FORM"
August 2, 1913

81 August 2, 1913
Dear Mr.. Reed:
For several months now the
Courier-Reporter has been sent
to me regularly and I have had
considerable pleasure reading the
news from my home town. News
of my school day buddies, who,
I find, are nearly all in the SER
vice somewhere, and news of
Kennewick itself which seems to
have grown out of its pants in
the past few months. May it
continue to prosper.
After reading letters in your
paper from some of the other
follows overseas, any experiences
that I might speak of seem quite
uninteresting. Cadet life is far
from dull though, as a matter of
fact, we are kept too busy with
flying and ground school to have
any dull moments, and all of us
fellows are anxiously awaiting
that day, about two months from
now, when the biggest thrill of
all will come to us as they hand
us those silver wings and gold
bars.
Like all the other boys in the
service, I too am anxious to get
this war over with and go home,
but meanwhile, I think the Cour-
Ter is doing splendid and patri-
otto job in keeping us supplied
with news from home, free of
charge.
In closing I would like to thank
you for sending me the paper. 4

Can't FOreSee
Local School
Enrolment
Authorities antiipate a
large increase, and are
making preparations

The local school situation has
got the authorities strictly up in
the air. Just what to plan for and
how to finance any major in
crease If such should develop, so
far is a matter of pure conjecture.
However, should there be a
greatly increased enrolment, a
considerable increase can be ac-
commodated with certain remod-
cling, particularly at the grade
school, Miss Margaret Reymore,
district clerk states. The old an
mex is being cut up into three
rooms and seating capacity has
been secured, which will more
than provide for the normal in
crease. However, a casual OBJ
servance indicates that there are
many more children Of school age
in the community this year than
in previous years. Just how many
Of these will need be accommodate
ed in the local schools cannot be
determined just at present.
The teaching problem is again
proving a head ache to the school
management, although Miss Rey-
more claims the situation here is
no worse than in most Of the
school districts Of the state. The
real big problem in securing teach
ers seems to be the matter Of Sc
curing places for them to live.
Only one major change is being
made in the faculty so far, the
clerk reports. Ray Normile, who
took years postgraduate work
at Columbia last year, is return
ing to accept the position of high
school principal. Mrs. Heminway
viii again be principal Of the
grades and Mr.. Gilbert will again
be principal of the junior high.
MIR. Black is superintendent.

Stores Not Sure
Night Opening
is a Success
Not enough workers
come to justify extra
costs involved

The change in the store hours
on Mondays is working out diff
ferently in the different stores in
town. Most of the grocery mer-
chants are about to give up the
plan, stating that eight out OF
ten of their customers are local
people and that the war project
workers are very greatly in the
minority.
At the j. c. Penney store, Man.
ager Lou Langworthy stated that
he had whale of rush Mon
day night Of this week-too much,
in fact to handle with the clerical
force he had. However, the two
preceding weeks he did practic-
ally nothing during the evening
hours.
Most of the merchants believe
that the situation will improve in
solar as the project workers are
concerned as. soon as they learn
that the stores are making this
special effort on their behalf.
Some of the valley farmers are
greatly in favor Of the plan. Es-
pecially those living at some dist
ance from town. They report that
with the shortage of manpower
they are compelled to work extra
long hours themselves to keep
their farms going and when COM
PEELED to come to town under or
binary store hours they lose half
a day from their work. Under the
plan of keeping open one night a
week, they can get their weeks
at that time. r~ssr.a

Still Passing Buck on
Federal Housing Project

In spite of the urgency of the
situation, the local federal hous-
ing committee can get no action
upon its application for some 200
housing units applied for some
time ago. The local committee has
had the backing of the project
authorities but state officials con-
tinue to pass the buck and delay
granting the necessary authority
to start the houses. Unless prompt
action is received, it wi II be diff
ficult to have the units completed
before cold weather starts, it is
thought.
