 "T'he typical American city today presents a picture of highly ira tlonal md wasteful land use, mis- use and nonuse," Buttenhelm said
 When We study the picture of traffic delays, disorder and death on our city streets, we must look behind these effects to our failure to re- design our cities for the motor age, and to our failure in many cases tu elect or appoint to public office men capable of solving the engineering and political problems Of the modern city"
 pr. Warren s. Thompson of the Scripps Foundation for Population Research noted that the declining birthrate In the United States be- tween 1921 and l933 win have It's effect on city growth In the post war period.
 With this slowing up of popula- ton growth" he said, "our cities cannot continue to grow as In the past. Cities will soon begin to feel this slowing up of numbers in the aging of their populatoin, The gen. eral consequence of population changes will be 10 slow up the growth of cities, to increase the death rates and to lower the birth rates"

 He told Boston Universitys Insti- ute of postwar problems last night that to accomplish this goal the Federal Government must establish dynamic economy, eliminate bureaucracy and develop a construc- tive postwar tax program"
 Assailins the New Deals "insidi- VtAo NiSGaSG SuhGQ puAChNCluGS, bricker said that If we believe in sclf-government we must give the people a chance to practice it."
 Bricker said that no honest person would contend that the government alone could solve the problem Of creating extra jobs, and added:
 Tt will require the closest co" operation between industry, labor and government,
 Highlighting a three day stay in m avowed bid for New England sup port Of his candidacy, Brcker told the panel that flor Il years our national leaders have tried to change our system from free enterprise to a managed economy"
 Tt was unintelligible manage. ment," he said, "uncompromising, dominating and incoherent man. agement. Government planners were hostile to capital They stifled small business, forced distribution of their earnings and made 1t impos- Sible for the into expand"

 The Swedish newspaper report said discussions were proceeding be-. tween German authorities and the Vatican regarding railway transport Of NazI troops and war material through Rome-the reason the AL lies have bombed the Italian capi- tal's rail yards.

 With only Q handful of ships of her own, Fire has been largely, probably almost wholly, dependent on British. American and other United Nations vessels to bring her vitally-needed supplies from abroad.
 BuSses Affected
 A London Daily Mail dispatch from northern Ireland said curtail- ment of shipments of oil and gaso- line probably would force suspension Of bus service in many sections of Fire.
 Shortage of coal, of which the cor. respondent estimated Fire had only Q few days supply on hand, threat ems to close industries and throw thousands out of work, the dispatch said, Fire depends ,1tirely on the United States and Britain for oil, coal and machinery and In large part, for her wheat and other foods,
 The Daily Mail also reported that closure of the northern Ireland Fire border was under consideration in London and Washington as Q furth- CT means of preventing leakage of information regarding the opening of the western front.
 American technicIans working In northern Ireland already have been prohibited from travelling to Fire.
 Some sources In Belfast believed closing of the border was highly un. likely and impractical because of the open terrain, but the Northern Ire- land home affairs ministry said the British government in London.
 Suspension
 The British home office order sus. pending all but the most essential travel between Britain and Ireland was understood to have been taken with the full concurrence of Wash ington and full agreement--if not at the instigation-of Gen. Dwight D, Eisenhower, supreme commander of Invasion forces,
 The Daily Malls diplomatic cor. respondent said he understood that Eisenhower was in possession Of in- formation which caused him to be- lieve Axis freedom in Fire was a real menace to the Allied cause"
 He vas said to have urged that Immediate action was imperative" the correspondent wrote.
