Financial statements for the
month of June were read for the
municipal golf course, Hamilton
Park pavilion and Washington Park
community house. The golf course,
hard hi. by the pleasure driving
ban, shows its first summer month
deficit since being opened, running
about 5000 behind. The pavilion re-
port showed a profit of $500 for the
month, due, it is believed, to the
large crowds patronizing the ball
games at the park. There were no
expenditures at Washington Park
in June; receipts amounted to SIS.

sized containers of tomato catsup
and chilli sauce.
Values of all canned fish went up

oysters. Their value was advanced
only two points. Officials explained
that under the present eight-point
value for canned fish, demand has
been considerably greater than sup

process" butter-also known as
renovated" or "reWorked" butter
was removed from regular butter
classification and given a low point
value to increase its use. Margarine
also is reduced one point.
The most widely used cheese,
cheddar, will remain at eight points
per pound, but one point reductions
have been ordered from group SO
and group III cheeses. Group II
comprises cream, neufchatel and
creamed cottage cheese, all now
listed at two points per pound.
Group III, made up of swiss, brick
munster and all other rationed
cheeses, is reduced from six to five
points per pound.
OPA pointed out that corn, lima
beans, peas and toms toes were going
faster than advisable and brakes in
the form of point increases were ap-
piled to retain stocks in trade in
ventories until new production in
these items is available. Supplies of
tomato catsup, chile sauce and to-
mato paste reached low levels in
June, OPA said, and substantial
point advances were made to pro-
tect the waning supply. Tomato
sauces and puree, however, were cut
to less than half their June point
values.
The new processed food chart
comes at time, OPA said, when
actual flow of new production into
trade channels is expected to ex-
coed the outgo. 1t will be necessary,
however, to conserve part OF the
NV pack for months when fresh
fruits and vegetables are no longer
available in great quantity.

fighting for the same principle in
Australia"
The Rev. Mr.. Parker'S controversy
with the OPA ban started early in
June when local board denied
him the right to drive his car to
Sunapee. where he intended to re-
main all summer and attend his
garden. One Washington official
then said it was all right to make
the trip, and later another said he
had been incorrectly adviced."
Meantime, the minister's family de-
parted and the pastor announced
he would follow. He started off
Monday, his car laden with house
hold supplies and Immediately was
handed summons.
Pointing out that extra gasoline
rations were issued to provide for
up to 300 miles of driving to cult
vate nearby victory gardens, the
pastor questioned the OPAs right
to issue those rations and at the
same time ito refuse to allow the
use of basic "a" rations to travel a
similar total distance to and from
a bona fide garden which will be
worked throughout the summer"
1.-The issue is not trivial" he said,
'unless human freedom is trivial.
This is not personal thing. am
merely doing what I think is neces-
sary in combating the growing
totalitarianism in the OPA's meth
ods.'
Since leaving for Sunapee on
Monday, the Rev. Mr. Parker said he
had received many letters and tele-
grams commenting on his conduct.

daughter Marjorie. a Hartford war

prise but the pattern of enemy re-
sistance is expected to be like that
on Guadalcanal. The Japanese are
expected to fight uncompromisingly
to the death, utilizing all of their
experience in jungle combat.
The Japanese were said to have
had only small forces on Rendova.
The seizure of Viru Harbor, on
New Georgia Island 80 miles below
Munda, gives the American COM
mand the only shelter or anchorage
of any usefulness along the islands
south coast. However, it was dolt,4-
ed that it would be used as base
for an overland drive on Munca.
High mountains and dense tungies
would make such move extremely
difficult, If not costly.
Occupation of Viru may force the
Japanese to divert strength to that
area. In addition, the navigable
harbor may make it useful as a
supply base for American opera
tons in the central Solomons.
The central Solomons are of
greater strategic importance to the
Japanese than the -Salamaua
area of New Guinea. If they fall
into American hands, Japanese held
Bougainville in the northwestern
Solomons would be easier prey fol
the Allies. Bougainville Is the main
bulwark of defense for the key Jap

Heart of the central Solomons'
defenses is Munda, site of Japans
much-bombed air base. If It falls.
the satellite bases in the area are

At the request OF City Controller
Cornelius F. Maloney the Board OF
Finance yesterday afterIoo ap-
proved a transfer to the Defense
Emergency Appropriation of $4,000.
This will compensate for $4,000
which the city has just paid in pre-
miums on the war risk and sabo-
tage insurance.
The transfer was made from the
Military Tax item, amounting to
$4,000, which will not have to be

tax effective as OF date of passage

the two insurance policies renewed
for one more year the balance in it,
as stated yesterday by the Con-
troller. was only $4,000 with six
months of 1943 still to go. He said
he believed that $4,000 should be
sufficient to get through the re-
nainder of the year, although it was
pointed out by Budget Director T..
E. Olsen that emergency expenses
this year, as in 1912. would prob
ably exceed the original budget
item.
On the basis of an informal re-
port submitted by Com. William v.
Gerardi it j expected that the
Board may recommend to the De-
partment of Education that the

In announcing the communication,
the White House in Washington said
President Roosevelt was motivated
by the fact that the plot to free

"maturely initiated" by Stephan. He

of his successors will commute that
sentence" the statement continued.
Stephan, native of bomb-blasted
Cologne in the German Rhineland,
was naturalized in Detroit eight
years ago. He operated a restaurant
which was a meeting place for the
German American Bund and other
disloyal societies.
When Krug, captured after being
shot down over the English Chan
mel, escaped from a Canadian prison
camp in April. 1912, and made his
way to Detroit, Stephan supplied
him with food, liquor, women and a
bed on which to sleep off his de-
bauch. Then he gave him money
and bus ticket to speed him on
his way to the fatherland.
But Krug was recaptured In San
Antonio, Tex. and ultimately gave
testimony which damned his erst-
while benefactor.
Federal Judge Arthur ]. Tuttle
imposed the death sentence. Many
thought the sentence too severe. To
them, Tuttle said their attitude
proved that this nation has become
too soft" toward its enemies.
Salowich said he asked Stephan
what he thought of the president

the attorney said, replied:
