London Paper Urges
Lease-Lend Revision
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Nov. 15.-A warning
against letting American lease lend
the lifeline that helped save
Britain in 1941--strangle this coun-
try's bid for postwar markets was
voiced today by the Daily Mail, one
of London's largest newspapers.
The Daily Mail urged the govern
ment to speed discussions with the
United States looking toward a re-
vision of the 1941 White Paper un-
der which Britain pledged she
would not employ in the manu-
facture of exports any lease-lend
materials whose use was restricted
in the United States.
Hugh Dalton, president of the
Board of Trade, told the House of
Commons yesterday that these dis
cussions now are under way. De-
ploring delay in the talks, the Daily
Mail suggested that now that the
presidential election is over, they
should be expedited II British trade
is not to recede to the vanishing
point"
1T would indeed be ironical," the
Daily Mail said, IF the lifeline
thrown us in 1941 served only to
strangle us in 1914 and 1945."

Miss Regina Weed, who has charge of the Diathermy machine, not long ago became member of Electric Boat Co.'s Nurses Staff.
 She is very young and capable. Regina graduated in September 1922 from the State Street Hospi- tai, Portland, Me, completing the required three-year course. She always hoped to enter the nursing professionalism the time she was a child, in fact-so' has now full filled at last 8 long time desire.
 After graduation she spent a short while in private duty in Maine. From there she, with friends, headed out California way and took on nursing at the Long Beach Community Hospital, then again after her return to the East, she put in five months of night duty at Dr. Lena's Hospital in New London.
 Regina prefers Industrial nurs- ing to general Hospital work. Her greatest like in the profession though, is duty in the operating room. Her training in Portland, Me, gave her number of months at this type of work-she considers it an opportunity to learn much about medicine, ito get to the bot tom of things as she put 1t.
 In her leisure time Regina turns out a lot of knitting. likes dancing and spoke of the well-knoWn Nor wich Inn as favorite spot; she en- joys attending football and basket ball games, in fact, has a fondnesS for most sports.
 When I interviewed Regina the Hospital was quite crowded and busy and we sat together at ta- ble near the Diathermy machine. While we talked several carpen- ters were installing a few cabinets in the room, but this did not con- fuse Regina, she continued the con- versation quite naturally. I gath cred then it would take a lot to interrupt her calm equilibrium and placid manner, and it's a thing like this that helps to determine Q nurse who's tops" I guess!

Mrs. Joyce Yvonne Arthur is the very charming 19-year-old secre- tary -bookkeeper in the X-ray Hos- pital. When I talked with Joyce couldn't help but be reminded of some of ''Charm'' magazines pho- tograps of typical young office girls on the job. She has ready smile, bright, shining eyes, and she speaks rather softly when she talks with you-yes, and with . pronounced Louisiana accent. n
 Joyce seems to like the atmos- phere of Hospitals, since before coming here she was stationed in an Army Camp Hospital in Loui- siana doing stenographic work.
 Her reason for coming East was marriage hasn't reached the six months of married life mark as yet-October 3, 1943, was her wedding day. Her husband, Joyce informs us, is a Radioman in Squadron No. 1 Office. He has had almost three years. service in the Navy.
 Together they live at~ ~101 Hynes Avenue in Groton, and when they are not whipping up a feast in inc kitchen of their home (JOyce is learning to cook, and on occasion solicits aid from her husband)s they drop over to the Regular Vet erans Association for some danc- ing, or again, may take in good movie in New London.
 Joyce has two older married sis- ters living in Alabama, and a younger brother at home with the l folks in Louisiana, She's a long way from them, but we think she's happy in the role of Mrs. Arthur more so, since she can fill her day usefully taking care of secretarial details in the X-ray Hospital. Joyce didn't like very much staying at home with too much leisure hanging over her. and such prefers working at job. Secretly, we believe there's another reason, too, she feels that along with her Navy husband, she's out to back up Uncle Sam!

 The bride wore a smoky blue suit with black accessories. She wore sprays of gardenias on both her hat and dress.
 Mir. and Mrs. Gordan Brain stood up for the couple. After the cere- mony the wedding party went to the Officers Club at the Base for dinner and celebration.
 Mrs. Williams, who has returned to work as secretary to MT. Roy Perry, will soon join her husband down south.

support of another section of the
state criminal code.
Commenting further, Held
said that under the act sheriff
or police officer could only ar
rest a Fl to 25-year-old drinker
without a permit, if the police
officer was present when the
sale was made-beeause a mis-
demeanor arrest can only be
made when witnessed by an Of
ficer. In other words, il a liquor
seller observed that no police
officer was watching, he could
sell to a person not holding a
permit, without fear of prosecu-
ton under this law.
NOT BROAD ENOUGH
Furthermore, Held pointed
out, the act specifically orders
the purchaser to show TO the
licensee his or her drinking per-
NIT. The bartender is not men,
toned, yet in the absence of the
licensee he might be the only
person in charge, and under the
act could not demand that the
purchaser show permit card,
according to Held.
The prosecutors opinion is as
follows:
Pursuant to your request for
an opinion concerning Act 205 of
the Public Acts Of 1943, relative
to persons between the ages of
21-25 purchasing liquor without
liquor card wish to advise you
as follows
ut is my opinion that said
Act is unconstitutional for three
reasons:
Il. Because the title of the
Act does not embrace the object
of the Act and does not set forth
the intent and purpose of the
Act.
~. Because of the fact that
it is in violation of the l4th
Amendment TO the Constitution
Of the United States of America
for the reason that it is class leg
islation and is discriminatory to
persons between the ages of
21-25.
80. Because it is in violation
of the 18th Amendment to the
Constitution of the United States
of America because 1t denies the
equal protection of the law to
persons between the ages of
21-25.
You also requested an opin-
ion as to whether or not a penal
ty is set forth in said Act and
wish TO advise that although no
penalty has been set forth in
said Act, still in all it expressly
provides that it shall be a viola.

NO SPECULATION
The message unanswered
the question of when victory
may be won. The expenditures
Mr.. Roosevelt proposed are bas-
ed on plans for continuing the
fight for at least another 10
months, but contemplate the
possibility of triumph over
Germany at least before that
time.
Mr.. Roosevelt divided United
States participation in the war
into these four phases:
/. Preparedness-July, 1910,
Immediately after the fall of
France, through Novemb e r,
1941 and up to the attack on
Pearl Harbor.
2. Defensive war-December
1941, and the attack on Pearl
Harbor, through October, 1912
"a period which "came to an
end with the attack on Guadal-
canal and the invasion of Africa
in late 1912"
3. Aggressive deployment -
November, 1912, through De-
cember 1943. During that
time" Mr.. Roosevelt said, 1--WE
had to build up and fill up the
pipelines for military supplies
of all kinds as we'll as establish
material reserves for future ag-
gressive operations"
4. Offensive war - January,
1914, TO victory.

bomber forces in the world have
more than broken the back of
the giant task before them -
that of completely emasculat-
ing Germany"
More than 700 heavy bombers
and likely record fighter escort
constituted the American aerial
task force.
The attacks, directed against
factories a. Oschersleben, Bruins
wick tBraunsweig), and Halber-
stadt, all within a radius of 100
miles of Berlin, constituted pos
sibly the most Gripping blow of
the war against the Nazi air arm.
Results were described Off
cially as excellent. In beating
their way to and from the OBJ
jectives and unloading their ex-
plosives directly on the targets,
the Americans shot down more
than 100 of the challenging en-
envy aircraft.
In addition, smashing of the
factories means that hundreds
of projected German fighters
never will be manufactured,
Gen. Arnold said.
The London Press was viz
tually unanimous in hailing it
as a mighty blow to German air
defenses. The numbers and fury
of Nazi fighters prove, the Daily
Telegraph said, that the ,attle
of Germany is growing desper-
ate and heading for show
down.

munique late yesterday said the

were Flying Fortresses and Lib

Labor Draft
Hits New Snaqs
Truman Opposes
Victory Measure

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13-(R)
Roosevet's request
for legislation 10 draft civilian
labor for the home front ran into
new and unexpected opposition
today from Chairman Truman
tD-Mo) of the Senate's War In
vestigating committee, for years
an administration booster.
At the same time chairman
Reynolds (D-NC) of the Senate
Military Affairs committee ex-
pressed doubt that a National
Service bill re-offered by Sena-
tor Austin (R-Vt could survive
committee opposition.
Reynolds said the committee
is considering the Austin bill "in
the absence Of specific admins
tration legislation"
I'll be surprised if the COM
mittee approves it, he added.
Democratic leader Barkley OF
Kentucky said he had heard
nothing about the likelihood that
White House bill repeatedly
drafted by Chairman Paul V.
McNutt of the War ManpoWer
commission, would be presented
to follow up the Presidents re-
commentator.
Two top labor leaders, William
Green Of the AFL and Philip
Murray of the CLIO. emerged
from a conference with Presi-
dent Roosevelt yesterday with
nothing to say" They prev
iously had issued scorching
statements against the proposal.
And those statements still stand,
they said.
Green said he guessed the
White House talk was off-the-
record.
