CITY COMPLIES WITH ORDER TO CONSERVE FUEL Stores, Barber Shops, Tav- erns and Courts Closed
 All Day COLDER WEATHER THREATENS OIL SUPPLY One Dentist Works Today Heating Office Rooms
 With Gas Heater

Stores, barber shops, mu- nicipal buildings, state off ces, taverns and other estab- lishments in Waterbury were closed today in compliance with Gov. Raymond E. Bald wins request for a two-day a week shutdown to conserve fuel. Meanwhile, the city's range oil supply which has been cut to a minimum was threatened by weather fore casts for colder temperatures today and tomorrow.
 All federal offices, including local draft boards and rent control off ces, were open as usual, since the employees must work 48-hour week. War price and rationing board of- fees in the Mattatuck Historical society building also remained open.
 The State and Loew-Poli theaters will shut down tomorrow as a fuel conservation measure. and the Strand will close Friday evening Neighborhood theaters have not as yet signified their intentions regard ing closing times.
 ''The R. K. Brown Company build ing in Exchange Place maintained 8 temperature of 55 degrees through out, the day, and about 30 offices and stores located in the building were closed. Several loan companies, under the jurisdiction of the state banking laws, remained open for a short time, as did lunch shop ill the building.
 D. T. Harrington, Jr., agent for the Lewis building, said that about l2 offlces were closed and tempera- lures was never higher than 50 de- grees. A dentist was holding office hours and heating his rooms with 6 gas heater.
 oil retail and rationing officials were of the opinion that the two- day closing was the only thing which could save the drab picture of hard coal and oil shortages. It was revealed that householders whose fuel supply is exhausted were bor- rowing or moving in with neighbors. Fred A. Webb, chairman of the oil panel, said today that members were literally besieged with phone calls over the weekend, begging them for supplies. Householders were advised to get in touch with dealers, MT. Webb said, but in most cases dealers were unable to ale viate the difficulties.

 State Enemies
1000 BARS AND CAFES
 IN FRENCH AREA CLOSED
North Africa Political Sit- uatiOn May Be Cleared
 Up Shortly

London, Jan. 25-(UP)-- The Berlin radio, quoting a Paris dispatch, said 40,000 persons had been arrested in the harhor area of Mar seilles, Port of Mediterranean France, and moved to a con- centration ca mp because Many state enemies, includ- ing many Jews," were active in the District. Six thousand persons were arrested in the harbor area last night, Berlin said, and 1000 bars, and cafes were closed.
 Persons arrested were taken to a camp at Frejus, 70 miles to the east.
 It was decreed that only persons engaged in medical, railroad of similar work in the harbcr area could remain. ..
 "On no account may any person return to the. evacuated area be. cause this quarter of the town will soon be demolished with the excep- ton of archaeological and historical sights" the dispatch said. "The false apache romance of the harbor district will be replaced by cleaIl- CT quarter"
 The Vichy radio had announced last night that by order of German military authorities the old harbor district would be cleared of civilian inhabitants "for military reasons and in order to safeguard the secur- ity of the populace."
 Previously Vichy and the Ger mans had announced 8 campaign to clear unemployed persons from Marseilles, now a restricted German military area and a big reinforce ment base for Africa.
 Announcement Awaited
 London; Jan. 25.-(UP)-A dra- matic announcement within the near future of agreements clearing up the North Africa political situa- ton was anticipated here today.
 It was pointed out that the situa- tion is among the most urgent fac- ing the United Nations and must be solved before definite steps can be taken toward unifying and CO., ordinating United Nations world strategy-although that question certainly would be considered in any discussion among the leading powers on the anti-Axis side.
 A puzzling aspect of the specula- ton now current in both Great Brit ain and the United States con- corning discussions, which, in the words of one British source, were being carried "by transatlantic telephone and more direct means" is that the British press is publish ing almost exclusively reports from Washington, whereas the American press has been publishing mainly British speculation. In this connec- tion, the British censors last Friday prohibited any mention of Gen. Sir Harold R. L. G. Alexander, British cnSpnaander jn chief fpr the Middle East, as a possible commander in chief in Africa and lifted the pro- hibition only when Washington re- ports were received the next day suggesting Alexander's availability.

OUR DELEGATION

On the cover of a recent issue of widely cir culated magazine of national repute, there IS a picture of a man with weasel eyes squirrel mouth, weak receding chin and evil countenance. The picture is unpleasant to look upon repulsive. It IS Himmler the gangster, the cruel savage, leader of Hitlers he'll hounds; Hmmler the degenerate the cold -booded pitiless, criminal persecutor robber torturer thief and murderer of millions of human beings in conquered countries of Europe He IS the man Germany has chosen from among the group of heartless savages. controlling her destiny to conduct reign of terror and ruthless extermnatlon among tens of millions of innocent men, women and children in the countries now under the control Of Germany
 This campaign of torture, starvation and murder has already resulted in the death of more than ten million human beings helpless and defenseess in the occupied portion of the country of great ally, Russia; in Norway, Holland France, Belgium Yugo- slava Greece Britain, Poland Czechosovakia We are told on the highest authority that not more than one child twenty born in Greece since the beginning of l940 is now alive Death has come from starVation It has come in its most hideous form.

for an increase in oil prices has be- come a burning issue, especially among Southwest Congressmen. The Texas delegation sees red on the question, and about 200 solons have signed a secret agreement that they will up the price of oil by law un- less Judge Vinson does it first.
 However, Judge Vinson, with more than a million railroad employees belligerent over his refusal to grant them a raise of eight cents an hour, figures that he would have virtual revolution on his hands if he let down the bars on oil while holding them up on wages.
 So far he has even resisted the persuasive charm of his old friend and colleague, Speaker Sam Ray burn for whom he would do almost anything7except increase oil prices.

their Japanese partners in crime and destruction in their campaign against the peacp loving, unoffendng Chinese of whom of miliio-.s have been starved and shot down like clay pigeons
 Now we many thousands of miles from the scenes of all these horrors and atrocities Our country has not been invaded and overr1in by these blood- thirsty wild beasts in human form. We not under the lash of the Japanese sons of Heaven, nor have we felt the bite and sting of the rat teeth of the vampire Himrnler.
 But while the very epormity of these atrocities and nhuman mass murders, continued for long a period destroying such large sections of the human race has blunted and calloused to some extent our feelings and sympathies we have been contributing to various national relief agencies of the many coun- tries involved It has now been decided to pool all the contributions that instead of raising separate amounts for the suffering and stricken peoples of the many nations, fund is being solicited which will be pro-rated and divided on the proper basis among the several relief organizations.
 Juneau is being asked to contribute $12000 of a total of s125,oOO0Oo for the ensuing year.
 Appeals to sympathy and pity to common honesty and decency and justice are generally most effective efforts to raise money for humane causes such as this; but there is another although more selfish reason why the funds required should be promptly subscribed.
 We have known now, for nearly two years that our own country the list of those marked for subugation by Hitler and Hroho that our liberties, our property and lives were doomed If Britain had been defeated or if Russia had been forced to submit to the invader.
 The events of the past few months point to even tual and certain victory for us. We have feeling that the doom of tyranny is at hand But we need the help; the present and future help of all the peoples we are now asked to support. We need them and in interest, it is our solemn and i'm mediate duty and obligation to our own nation and to ourselves to succor and aid them now, so that they may continue in the struggle with us and hasten the day of peace, and thus in turn relieve us of sacrifices of our own men and ships and planes.

U. $. AND BRITISH OIL

It hasn't leaked out yet, but there is another significant side of the story of British failure to use Per- sian oil for Allied war operations.
 The flying senators reported that with American oil reserves being drained, the British were not using to capacity their oil around the Persian Gulf This is absolutely true However, it also is a fact that Judge Vinson and Byrnes, the White House stabilizers, had been talking to the British on this point end found the British ready to CO., operate
 The British, it is true, did not take the initiative in offering their oil, as they might well have done. But much. less enthusiastic were the American oil companies.
 This probably will be denied. but it became suspiciously apparent to the White House advisors that the. big U. s. oil companies would just as soon continue supplying the oil themselves instead of having the British open up more production around the Gulf of Persia.
 Reason for this, il was suspected was to force an increase in the price of oil at home. The oil com panies have been putting tremendous pressure on Economic Stabilizer Vinson and the Government gen. erally to grant them an increased price on oil. One argument-and 1t has lot of yalidity--is that oil is now priced so low there is no incentive to pioneer new fields or pump partially depleted ones. Sec letary Ickes has concurred in this.
 However, much of the validity would be removed if Hood of Anglo-Persian oil now relieved U. s. resources and Allied needs in the Mediterranean.

HOROSCOPE [ "The stdrs incline
 but do not c0nspeI'
FRIDAY. OCTOBER 22

This is fairly suspicious day Good feeling and confidence should be prevalent under this configura- 1 tion SET r4
 HEART AND HOME: Concentra- ton on war service should be stim- ulated by high faith in the working out of human destiny. Heroic deeds in the world conflict will inspire the sort of patriotism that is proud to make great sacrifices. Women young and old will demonstrate their splendid powers in exacting work in which they have overcome early handicaps. Although this is not a date conducive to romance, love letters from battlefronts should bring joy to many girls.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Before midwinter there should be an- nouncements of prodigious achieve ments by scientists and inventors. Long concealed successes in novel processes of manufacture will be publicized as promises of future progress in assuring human well fare Housing, transportation and communication will be so much inn proved that prewar facilities will appear limited and old-fashioned. New fortunes are to reward many who have gained greatly through unselfish public service.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Housing pl oblems will be of great concern in many parts of the country in the next few weeks when heating facilities are of first importance. Temporary quarters for war work CTS must be improved and the stars are read as pretending difficulties in meeting imperative cold weather needs The demand for improve ments that will prevent slum con- ditions and provide sanitary liv- ing conditions will be general. Negroes employed in the war in dustries should receive special at 1 Itention.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR As the many-sided march toward victory for the United Nations pro- ceeds, agitation regarding peace plans will be insistent. The places Of Russia and China in the final discussions at the peace table will be supremely important according to astrology, and the voice of Stalin Will be heard in positive tones that carry determined demands present. ed frankly and without diplomatic shadings. China's point of view also will be definite and not easily changed.
 ! Persons whose birthdate it is have l the augury of many experiences that include annoyances and frus- trations but the year should be gen. erally successful.
 i Children born on this day prob- ably will be vigorous in body and intensively active in mind. The, should be self-reliant, faithful and ambitious. Success and even fame oeiong to the last decan of Libra Copyright, 1943)
