to serWlity and suffering and si- lence.
 No Deceit Can Win
 The people have now gathered the strength. They are moving forward in their might and power and no force, no combination of forces, no trickery, deceit or vio- lence, can stop them now. They see before them the hope of the world-a decent, secure, peaceful life for all men everywhere.
 I do not prophecy when this war will end.
 But do believe that this year of 1943 will give to the United Nations very substantial ad- vance aolng the roads that lead to Berlin and Rome and Tokyo.
 I tell you it is within the realm of possibility that this seventy eighth Congress may have the his- toric privilege of helping to save the world from future fear.
 Therefore, let us-all of US have confidence, let us redouble our efforts.
 A tremendous, costly, long-eIl~ during task in peace as well as in war is still ahead of us.
 But, as we face that continuing task, we may know that the state of this nation is good-the heart of this nation is sound-the spirit of this nation is strong-the faith of this nation is eternal.

Commissioner of Motor Vehicle John T. Mccarthy released today's monthly report covering various activities of his department. Acci- dents, registration, fees and other phases are given consideration.
 Connecticut motor vehicles moved total of 289, ,728, ,166 miles during the month of November, 1942, as compared with 4o7, ,337, ,060 miles for November, 1941, the decrease ot 117,608,8 ,894 miles representing q drop of 28.8 per cent.
 This estimate of motor vehicle movement is based on report com piled by the Gasoline Section of this department of a November con- sumption of motor fuel of 22,286,- 782 gallons. The arbitrary factor ot thirteen (13) miles per gallon of gasoline is used to estimate mileage in accordance with agreement with the National Safety Council which still uses this figure in computing national mileage data, as fuel rae tioning has been regional the greater part of 1922.
 Objection has been registered with the department that with a heavy proportion of traffic flow be- ing composed of commercial units, which average 8 low mileage move ment per gallon of gasoline, the fac- tor of thirteen (13) miles is too high This is doubtless true and the point well taken. But, for the remainder of 1922, at least. it is proposed to continue using the standard aver age pending decision by the Nation al Safety Councils statistician.
 The main result in reducing the factor is a decrease in motor vehicle movement, which means -Connecti- cuts traff1c accident incidence rate is actually higher than has been computed, emphasizing again the oft-repeating warning of this de- partment that Connecticut motor vehicle operation is not reasonably safe and accident-free even though totals indicate gratifying decreases compared with 1941.
 Decrease of 21.9 Q
 For the eleven month period, Connecticut motor vehicle move ment was 1,036,568,572 miles less than for the same period in 1941.
 Although billion mile drop seems rather awesome it actually represents decrease of only 21.9 per cent for the period. Of course. the same reduction is to be noted in receipts from the gasoline tax.
 The November gasoline tax certi- fled to the state treasurer for col- lection amounted to $693, ,934.99 as compared with $965, ,61O.71 for Mo- vember, 1941. The difference of $271 ,675. 72 is a decrease of 28.1 for the month.
 For the eleven-month period from January to November, inclus- i've, of last year, 1942, the depart ment certified to the state treasurer for collection a total of $8,64S. .930.50.
 This figure compares with $11,- 077, 545.27 for the same period in 1941, or decrease of 21.9 per cent which is considerably less than had been anticipated last spring when contemplated federal restrictions on motor vehicle movement, new car sales and motor fuel consump- tion were announced.
 November Mileage
 Indicating that the floor, or low est level of motor vehicle move- ment, is determined by the amount of gasoline available is the coEnpari- son os the October gaz0lind con.

Hartford, Conn, Jan. 7-(UP)- Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin trans mitted two emergency measures to the Legislature today, asking for unprecedented wartime powers and creation of an advisory war cabinet.
 The war powers bill would allow the governor to issue any order, rule or regulation which Gin his judgment will best meet require ments of the situation" whenever the chief executive shall believe the safety or welfare of the citizens, or the efficient and expeditions par ticipation in the war effort by the industries or the manpower of the state shall require it."
 The authority would extend un- til February l, 1944.
 A record of the acts performed under the emergency authority would be filed with the Secretary of State as 8 public record under the governors signature, and an enun1- eration of the acts would be sub- mitted to the General Assembly every six months for ratification.
 No criminal penalties would be at- tached to any of the emergency acts, nor would any citizen be de- prived of property without due process.
 The war cabinet would consist of the six elected officers of the state, and at least ten but not more than IA ordinary citizens who were familiar with the problems of agri- culture, labor, retail business, man. ufacturing, banking, transportation, public health, education, fuel and the consumer public.
 This cabinet would study and advise with the governor on the organization of the war effort and on coordinating every effort in in- dustry and manpower.
 Suggestions of the cabinet would be carried out under that governors wartime emergency authority.
 The judiciary committee assigned public hearings on both bills for next Tuesday at 2 p. m.
 The governor also was scheduled to submit to the Legislature meas ures calling for the creation of an overall war council, and defining the powers and duties of the state defense council more clearly.
 In the meantime, Democrats in- troduced several measures carrying out provisions of their 1922 state platform. These bills called for creation of a state labor relations board, state housing commission. amendment of the workmen's com- pensation law, prohibiting states attorneys from engaging in private law practice, direct election of state public utilities commissions, and for municipal acquisition of utilities plants after a local referendum.
 Committee assignments for mern- bers of House and Senate were an- nounced by legislative leaders. and meetings probably will start early next week. House Speaker Harold E. Mitchell, West Hartford, told the House yesterday "this was no ordi- nary session" and asked speed in consideration of the emergency gubernatorial measures.
 Gov. Baldwin came into his off, flee brgiht and early today, despite a gruelling day yesterday. He had been on the go since early morn- ing until late at night, but seemed to thrive on the activity.
 After giving his inaugural mes- sage to a pack damned House in the afternoon, the governor went to the State Armory where he greeted the public in an unprece- dented public reception. There was

added as fact of public interest.
 General receipts of the depart ment, Exclusive of gasoline the tax as of December S1st are reported as $7699. .727.35.
 This is $202, 2,941.15 less than the total reported as of December 3l, 1941, reduction of less than three (S) per cent.
 The various transactions con- cerned with the accumulation of the general receipts totaled 1,332e0 as of December 31, 10z2, or drop of only 15O,17I items as compared with 1o4l.
 This represents a decrease for the year in the work of the several sections concerned of approximate ly one (1) per cent. This is inter- esting in view of the dislocation which the automotive industry suf- fered in 19z3 and which would. pre- suInably, be reflected in the de- nlands by the public upon this de- pAgtmant Ger nlrviaA.

suspending the license for a period of two months, starting January IS.
 The revocation and appeal were brought about by the fatal stabbing of Frank Caruso on the night of June 5 after he and Michael Dad- dona, both intoxicated, started a quarrel in the tavern and ended it in the fatal fight outside on the street. The commission ruled that the proprietor was guilty of serv- ing beer to an intoxicated person.
 The decesion also calls attention to the commissions claim that the regulation regarding disturbances and keeping of resort for immoral persons had been violated, but rules that evidence in the appeal case, which was heard Nov. 10, did not substantiate 1t.
 Except for the fatal result of Daddona's conduct no charges have been male against the appellant for his own behavior, the decision states, adding, Tt does seem there fore that Srezzano should be perm anently deprived of this means of earning a living beca lse of sale of one glass of beer to Caddona."
 Daddona was sentenced to two years and eight months in jail in superior court last September after he changed his plea of not guilty of second degree murder to guilty of manslaughter. He was brougl from New Haven county jail as a witt ness in the appeal case.

 LEADS SCORERS AS A GUARD
 Phillip a stripling of six feet two- and-a-half, is said to be incapable of being disconnected, but must have been 8 little excited last season when he led the 1llini as a guard with 19S points, which placed him sixth in the conference.
 He is the first guard in Illinois history to score more than 100 points in conference games.
 He was the only sophomore named on the "All" team.
 Phillips classmates, Gene Vance, Jack Smiley and Ken Menke were honored to a lesser degree and were joined by senior Vic Wukovitis in winning B of IS conference games.
 Menke, currently the leading scor- CT, sailed into the first two confer ence games with Michigan and Wisconsin - handicapped by an ankle injury. ....
