The report recalled that a year
ago the entire sterilization program
was Gin jeopardy =. the stabiliza-
ton line was not only bending-it
was breaking"
It listed the gains made under
the presidents "hold- the-line" or
der: Stable cost of living; SubStan-
TALLY unchanged basic wage struc-
ture but correction Of gross inequi-
ties, and au-time high weekly earn
ings; "tangible-indeed bankable-
benefits to all groups" including
corporations and farm operators.
Sterilization
The report stressed that the stab
ilization policy Of the government
benefited particularly the 10000, 900
people whose incomes cannot be in
creased in pace with rising prices.
In this category were families of
service personnel, "low-paid unor-
ganized workers." school teachers
and other government employees and
persons living on pensions.
The president interposed at this
point that the working press of the
United States had been protected
from reduction in wages. That, he
said, was the best he could say and
it wasn't very much.
Asked whether the report was a
reply to demands for removing the
little steel" formula limitation on
wage increases, Mr.. Roosevelt shot
back that 1t was not an answer to
anything; that it was statement
Of fact.
The President, reading tn report,
stopped to say that the thought
it was very important although the
soft-redalled in the last two or
fight against imitation had been
three months.
Prices Controlled
The governments sterilization
policy, he said, was succeeding in
keeping prices from going through
the roof and automatically bank
rupting most everybody in the
United States.
Mr.. Roosevelt read with emphasis
portions of the port which said
I'VE must not jeopardize these gains
by any change of policy or re-
Taxation or effort in the critical
months ahead"
"All the underlying conditions
which could cause a sharp rise in
prices are still present." the re-
port said. 1.-THE best estimates now
available indicate, for example that
the gap between the income of
the American people after taxes and
the volume of goods available for
them to buy will be even greater this
year than it was in 1913. Pocket
books and checking accounts are
bullying with money which would
make 1t difficult to hold prices down
If we went on a nationwide buying
spree.

For Rome Blow
(Army Air Force photo from NEA Telephoto)
(By United PresS)

Swiss dispatches published in the
Journal de Geneve and reported to
the Office of War Information said
today that the Allies ''for a month
now have been daily landing picked
troops and war material at Anzio

as preparation for a large scale
attack in the Rome direction"
There is also the opinion" the
newspaper added, that the Battle
for Rome will begin simultaneously
with the opening of the second
front in France"
The dispatches said German Field

turned to Italy after a conference
at Adolf Hitler's headquarters on

Kesselring, commander of all Ger
man tropos in Italy, previously had
been reported replaced by 1t. Gen.
Won Vietinghoff, but his return to
Italy may indicate he has been
restored to his post.

TONS OF PRECIOUS
PAPER DESTROYED
Many Waterburians Guilty
of Gripping War Effort
By WastefuI Burning

There Is a paper shortage in the
mills of the nation but there is no
paper shortage in the homes"
T. his is a fact revealed by recent
statistics which show that the
greater share of paper that enters
the homes of Waterbury during each
month is not returned for salvage
purposes.
About 16 million tons of paper is
Salvaged in the United States an
nually. Present quotas are esti-
mated so that ABOUT $4,000 tons
should be salvaged monthly. As
nation we are now salvaging H.
600 less per month that the nation
needs.
Five pounds per person Of salv-
aged paper is all that Is asked from
each home, each month. This is
a small allotment yet it isn't be-
ing met. Before the acute paper
salvage shortage about 200 mills re-
lied almost solely on this source.
Today 600 mills must rely on paper
salvage as they operate on day to
day supply basis.

machinery which have served us so
effectively thus far"
Some Increases
The report acknowledged that
there had been some increased
prices, such as in clothing, but these
rises were 'fully Offset" by de-
creases in prices of other items,
particularly in food.

he said, December, the month of
Christ's birth, is the period in which
all minds are turned toward giving,
which is a fine gesture. But we
must not forget the source from
which we get, to give. Giving to
receive is not in tune with the
giving of God for Jesus Christ for
God gave his only begotten Son

should not perish but have everlast-
