 ON LABOR DAY
ODT Warns Railroad Facll. lties Taxes to Utmost;
 S.R.O. Inevitable

Prospective Labor Day train and intercity bus travellers had potter cancel their plans unless their trips are directly connected with the war, Frank V Rlcho, District Manager of the New Haven Office of Defense Transportation, said today.
 "Only actual service with the armed forces or business directly connected with the prosecution of the war justlfies taking up space on trains at this time," MT. Richo said, since the railroads of the country, taken all together, have now reached the full limit of their capacity to carry passengers. Month after month, trains have been carrying more passengers than they did even in ie43."
 Extra Labor Day traffic, the oDT said, would swamp railroad facili- ties, and delay and hamper essential travellers It would subject all trav- elers to the ordeal of standing in closely packed aisles or vestibules, or waiting on station platforms while trains pull out without even space to stand In, or being required after boarding trains to give up purchase cd accommodations to make room for wounded soldiers. Any travel that is non-essential makes 1t that much harder for the railroads to dc their main job of war transporta- ton"
 MT. Richo said the latest informa- ton received by the ODT, indicates that overall military demands for transportation which have shown no let-up since the invasion, will not decrease for some time to come. There will, he said, be sharp increass in certain classes of military pas sengers, such as casualties and fur loughed soldiers.

Our moving fingers of steel now thrusting across France toward vic- tory may grasp 1t at that place which of all places in Europe is for Americans richest in inspiring mem' ories, The road on which today's CTS have set foot may well lead them to victory on the same bat tlefields where their fathers won 1t 26 years ago,
 Today, in forcing the Germans to retreat, Americans are entering regions where in summer, 1918 they first appeared in European battle. Along the famed Marne they helped to win the last war first by stubborn defense, then by dashing counter.attack. They beat the Germans, first at Chateau Thierry, where the Marines were called Devil Dogs" by reluctant ly admiring Germans; then ct SoIssons, where regulars of the First and Second Divisions spear headed the counter offensive that turned the tide and rolled the Germans back.
 But those battlefields and St., Mihiel which followed were train ing -grounds--like Tunisia, Sicily and Italy - for the troops and leaders who later assembled for our final effort. On September 26, 1918, on that dark and bloody ground between the Mouse River and the Argonne forest, the Ger mans strongest but most vital point, our First Army under Gen. eral Pershing attacked with what is still the largest single Amer ican ground force ever assembled For 47 days and nights they fought, sometimes amateurishly

(INS)-President Roosevelt made
4 sharp distinction yesterday be
tween wartime and peacetime
ASPECTS of the delicate situation
arising in Palestine as the April l
deadline barring further Jewish
Immigration into that country APP
breaches.
At present, Mr.. Roosevelt said,
efforts 10 prevent an outbreak Of
racial disturbances between the
Jewish people and the Arabs are
strictly a military matter of a
temporary nature but, he said,
they comprise very serious mat
ter at the moment.
After the war, the Chief Exec
utive pointed out. the question OF
additional Jewish immigration into
Palestine will become a civilian
matter and can be decided at that
time, when hope for permanent
world peace becomes more con-
crete.
The burning question of the
moment, Mr.. Roosevelt pointed
out, is the wartime European
refugee problem.
Deep concern also was shown
on Capitol Hill over the Jewish
question in Palestine with vigorous
pleas reaching the Senate for
American action 10 seek lifting
OF the British White Paper ban on
further Jewish immigration into
Palestine after April /.
