New Headquarters For
 Russian Relief Drive
Mrs. Elton s. Wayland, Local Chairman, Makes Ap-
 peal to Waterburians to Aid Humanitarian Move

of Russian War Relief shipments last year, according to Mrs. Way land. Russian boats calling at Amer ican ports rush the clothing to their destination at Soviet expense,
 Mrs. Wayland said that the bulk of the clothing collected here would go to the devastated areas for the use of families who must be clothed, fed and given medical attention be- fore they will be in fit condition to help themselves. She urged per- sons donating garments to send per- sonal greetings to these families on the special gift tags provided by the Russian War Relief committee. Tags may be obtained from the new Rus sian War Relief Headquarters, ll5 Grand street.
 T hope that the people of this city will send as much of their clothing as they can spare for this cause" Mrs. Wayland said T have been told that when our Soviet al- lies speak of our help, they often refer to an old Russian proverb, You can recognize your friends only when trouble comes.' Besides allev- iating great distress, the neighborly help we are sending will do a good will job for our own country and help to sctrengthen @ friendship which Is vital to lasting peace"

Families of Waterbury will be asked to share their clothing with the people of war-torn Russia, 1t was announced here by Mrs. Elton s. Wayland, newly appointed chair man of e Russian War Relief cloth. ing drive to be held from Septem- Der i8 to 90.
 Many skav.l groups will assist in the drive, Mrs. Wayland said, in- cluding Boy Scouts, Block Leaders, churches and schools.
 Tn accepting chairmanship Of the clothing campaign, Mrs. Way land said that she considered 1t @ privilege to direct this humanitar- ian undertaking. T know that the need is great and the cause most worthy. All of us should be glad to help Q people whose valiant strug- gle has meant so much for our com- mon cause"
 Mrs. Wayland said the local drive was being undertaken following rec ceipt of information from Edward 0. Carter, president of Russian War Relief, that the need of the Rus sians for every type of apparel is mounting enormously with every military victory. Soviet relief offi- cials, following up the Red Army's swift westward advances, find that the bulk of the population in the recaptured cities and villages has been reduced by German destruc- ton and plunder to state of utter destitution.
 Tn Q message to the Waterbury Russian War Relief committee, MT. Garter said, 'The Average Ameri- can, who despite wartime shortages today enjoys Q life of luxury com- pared with that of our Russian ale lies, finds 1t difficult to comprehend the hardshipS and privations they have uncomplainingly endured to sustain the brilliant accomplish ments of their armies in the field. My recent visit to the Soviet Union convinced me that no other people iS sacrificing as much es the Rus sian people for our common vic- tory. The supplies we send are most greatefuliy received. naeticulously accounted for and judiciously dis tributed in the areas of greatest need"

Religious Education
 Week Starts Sept. 24
l4tI Annual Event Endorsed By J. Edgar Hoover Who
 Says Freedom Rests Upon Truths

'"rhe obligation to supply religious education to our youth rests largely with the parents and the churches, It ts on obligation to provide Q way of life, Q motive power that will iTn- pei the young men and women of America to choose the good instead of the bad in every department of their lives, rt is a solemn obligation to preserve freedom and justice for the world, by moulding the youth of America in accordance with the Divine plan"
 Tn preventing crime and produc- ing Q noble citizenry," Director Hoover declares the duty of teach. ing religious education lis not an admonitlon or Q counsel, 1t is Gods will, and If 1t is faithfully discharg- cd America will survive and prosper, If 1t is ignored, we can never hope for the true freedom for which our sons and brothers and husbands arc giving the final measure of love on the battlegrounds of the earth"

Chicago, Sept, is - Impelling motives flor living in accordance with the law of God and the law of man. are seen as the best deterrents to crime by John Edgar Hoover, Washington, D. O., director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Tho declaration was made today In Q letter Director Hoover sent Go pr, Roy c, Ross, general secretary of the International Council of Relig. ious Education, endorsing the nR- tion-wide observance of the l4th an- nual Religious Education Week, September 24 to october 1.
 We must engender in our youth Q sense of moral responsibility founded in religion" Mir, Hoover stated. Tt must be Q religion that is not merely Q method of worship, but Q religion that embodies Q creed and 0 code as well, The young boy and girl must believe in those truths upon which our freedom rests, and they must have respect for the laws which must exist to preserve 1t"
 Recent FBT crime figures indicate that the new recruits are drawn from our most vital possession-- youth," MT. Hoover revealed in the letter. During l943, age l8 pre- dominated among all persons or. rested, according to flngerprint rec- ords received by the FBT from all parts of the nation. Arrests of i7- year-old boys increased 27,7 per cent and of l6-year-old boys 6l per cent, Tn i942 and l943, arrests of girls under 2l years of age have increased 1904 per cent.
 Improved facilities for recre- ation, intelligent administration of juvenile courts, increased guidance for children whose families have been weakened by the war-all of these things are necessary and good but they are not enough" Mir. Hoover declares. The answer lies in religious education because re- ligion reaches 0 part of man where sociology is ineffeetual; 1t reaches his motives, his reasons for pursu- Ing D way of life. In the last analy- sls, religion is the recognition of mans dependence upon Q superior Being and his obligation to observe higher law.

Small Business Should Have Conversion Chance
Chairman Maury Maverick of War Plants Corporation
 Proposed Slx-POint Program for U s.

Declaring that small business must have first chance at reeonversion, Maury Maverick, chairman of Smaller War Plants Corporation, proposes Q slx.polnt government. sponsored program to give small business Q head start ln peaeetime production,
 The government should act as umpire to encourage and protect conversion period, writes Mr. Mav- erlek in on article, "Small Busl- ness Must Get the Breaks, In the current issue of The Saturday Even- ing Post.
 Mr. Mavericks program Is Os fol- lows.
 1. When the military terminates Q contract, the little manufacturer should be paid off immediately. The Contract Settlement Aaet of io44 should he put into full operation at once,
 3. Little businesses should get their share of surplus property whether it is machine tools, land, bulldlngs, or materials of any kind, The government should sell in lots small enough for tho smallest busi- nessman Go bid on,
 8. A credit plan, backed by Smaller War Plants Corporation, to give small businesses the oppor- tunity of borrowing from Sl0,000 to Si00,000 or 3 or ( per cent from country and city banks. This would give the little man financial faeill- ties and services comparable to those enjoyed by his big competi- tor.
 (. Little business must have in- eentlve taxation, Increase from Si0,- 900 to S50,000 the excess-profit ex- emption provided in the Revenue Act of l043. Dividend income must not be ovcrtaxed. A business man should not be forced to take all the rap for losses ono year, but have it spread over thre years,
 .. All patents, both allen and American, must Do made available to all the people and not coralled by monopoly groups. The SWpC through the Alien Property Custo- dian is bringing to the attention of small business the 45,000 alien pat- ontS on . non.exclusive basis for Sib each.
 6. Tho government should make 1t possible through cooperative lab- oratory systems for small producers to secure aid in developing new presses and new products. This could he done with existing private laboratories, land-grant colleges, universities, and many Government laboratories.
 Mr. Maverick believes that Gov. ernment in It's role as umpire should aid industry in planning and sched. uling itself out of a planned economy, enforce sherman Anti. Trust Act by not tolerating cartels and monopolies, and make sure the little buSinesman gets tho affirma- tive help the farmer has received the last fifty years.
 The only way to save free enter. prise, Mir. Maverick points out, Is to give the little manufacturer first right at reeonversion, plus some scientific knowledge for his plant, some money loaned him to work with, the easing of his tax load, and c cartload of raw materials with which to star work. He adds that if material and labor can be spared,

the war effort will not be injured if e number Of little businesses re- convert Co peaeetime production now lie declares thore are several thousand fairly simple products that can be made by little factories.
 "Roconverslon by small plants is easier, quicker and will break fam. ines In consumer goods that much quicker" Mir. Maverick states. "The plan uses surplus materials. ft puts people to work, It keeps Us from Q national lag In employment, it gives us experience now, before we feel the full shock of converting from war to peace manufacture, Later, when huge quantities of materials are not necessary to kill Japs and Germans, we can make the more complicated things like automobiles and the various products needing motors, most of which are particu- larly adapted to big business. To be fair to the pigs, lot them make models, lot them plan, lot them get ready right now. But first tho little people should got tho production break"
