Confusion Results Over Legal
 Holiday" Order

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20-tP- President Truman ordered time and a half to be paid to all war workers on the job last Wednes- day and Thursday. His executive order didn't say however, whether workers who took holidays on the two days following the surrender would be paid for time off.
 Schwellenbach said earlier that the President ''hopes straight time wages" would be paid in those cases. The Whitehouse said originally that August Is and 16 would be legal holidays for over time purposes, and then retracted the statement. Considerable con- fusion resulted.

RX. EPICURUS

(The New York Herald-Tribune)
 It is more than two thousand years ago that an amiable philoso- pher named Epicurus pondered physical reality, posted the psysi- cal reality of the atom and wrote 8 treatise on it. Not, properly speaking, a physicist and quite without scientific apparatus, of course, he grasped in theory what it now demonstrable scientific truth. He was a materialist-one of the most thoroughgoing ones who ever lived. On a firm foundation ofma- terialism, nevertheless, he erected system of ethics that was, in eff ect, a religion for many centuries. With the ethics of Stoicism, Epi- cureanism was the greatest moral force in Graeco-Roman antiquity until Christianity took the place of both in the Western World. On the basis of materialism and eX- pediency, Epicurus preached some thing very like Christian ethics and with incalculable good effect on human conduct.
 With scientific materialism at flood tide and religious belief, it may be, at one of its lowest ebbs in all history, Epicurus is a philoso- pher to reckon with. Those with deep and unShakable religious be- lief do not need him, but for skeptics no single philosopher is more strongly prescribed in our time. The happiness and security of individuals and of peoples can be founded only in justice and good will and moderation, Epicurus preached. He practiced as he preached in his Attic garden in the third century B. C., and scientific materialist" that he was, his mes sage and his example had the eff feet of a saints for at least five centuries.
 EpicuruS's intuitive of reasoned knowledge of the structure of mat ter has been confirmed. Perhaps his preachment of human happiness founded on reason and good will may be made as real and as power full as the atom one day. In any case, this is evidently time to ponder his life and works-at least the spirit of them. In Epicurus ma- terialism brought forth good fruits.

Waterburians In World War II

Waterburys record in the just ended is noble one. Looking backward ortytwo months the local participants in the great struggle achieved distinction through bravery on the far-fung battlefrcnts.

CAT YOUR PERIL"

(The Christian Science Monitor)
 The campaign against jaywalking being waged by some New England cities reminds us that though world wars come and go, the territorial dispute between motorist and pedes- trian goes on and on.
 Boston still pins her faith on cor rective teaching alone. While it may not be practical, the pedes- trian in this state legally has the right to go anywhere he chooses in public territory" says an official
 Now it may have been both prac- tical and proper, when Boston was merely maze of COW paths, for pedestrians to have precedence over the COWS - that is, if the creatures didn't sport horns. But with the horns on Boston streets long ago turned to audible ones, it seems not only impractical but quite inn prudent to insist on the right to disobey the lights and signals which motorists are required to observe.
 And while were on the subject, Dame Boston, aren't your court summonses a little archaic, too? We're glad to know on what day your courts are holden" but you can't expect us to take too seriously that admonition: Fail not hereof at your peril" Of course, we're just speaking about the summons from hearsay.

had none Evidently Mr. Churchill and Mir Roose- welt had no hard and fast understanding with MT Stalin as to how anybody would operate So the Russians merely rolled their own.
 I can't find any soldiers who have had the slightest trouble with the Russian soldiers and the more one analyzes the so-caled trouble at "hgn levels the more is forced to admit that at least the Russians had some reason. For one thing they seem to be utterly practical and they seem to think everybody else should be.
 I have been intending to devote column to this general subject but it shaved pretty close to directive long since issued asking, commentators to stay away from the subject of possible Russian participation in the Japanese war. There of course have been all sorts of rumors, and many of them have been discussed over here
 The most persistent was that the agreement TOT the Russian declaration reached at Yalta. This particular version further said that Russia agreed to send 30 divisions against the Japanese as soon as the German victory was complete and that was to be to Manchuria and Korea.
 It was in discussing this that the British journa- lists always grew grave. look at the map wlii snow that if Russia is given takes those sections, she will at last have the water ports she has been seeking since the days of Peter the Great That wouldn't necessarily be any concern Of ours, nut n would definitely be of quick and concerned interest to Britain-to those in Britain, at any rate, who think in terms of Empire
 The British always have insisted upon primary power and they could not remain disinterested. the British reporters said, if Russia began to emerge as e great maritime nation. For one thing their Indian problem would quickly come into
 Then some of them went on to say that strong Russian hold on that part of Asia would naturally join with the Chinese Communists further north and that Communism would eventually threaten all China. With India added that would make an the Asiatc world.
 At that point 1t seemed to me that the argu- mens were flying too far out into theoretical space and withdrew. But the sense of it all seemed to pc that 1 trouble is coming ln our brave new world it figured to be trouble between Great Britain and Russia, and the sense of the story was aiming 70 write was that we. not Britain, are ou the middle og Inc teeler board and that 70 Wae mostly up tp h to see that kha board s kepl balanced.

USING UP RESERVES
(New Haven Journal-Courier

NNSW hdFcu JOu1Ildl-NOurltI)
 When one member of a family becomes seriously i'll, at first the family lives as it did before, finan- cially speaking, and draws on its bank reserve to finance the emer- gency. AS weeks drag into months, the reserve dwindles and the family cuts down on the cost of daily liv- ing for the well folks.
 It has to stop adding to the bank balance, and even with the reduced standard of living-cheaper food, less clothing. only the most necessary re- placements, no improvements-with all this reduction it still finds the reserve disappearing. Now it is right up against it. The income does not cover all the necessary buying, and luxury purchases are only memory.
 When the patient finally starts to get well, house and family are shab- billy clothed, everything needs paint, plumbing, wallpaper There are holes in the rugs and debt at the bank. The family is happy, but it has to start at scratch to build up again. It vii take long time, and comes hard on everyone.
 That's what happens to a nation at war. With the fighting over, despair turns to hope But shelves and cupboardS are empty. Coal?
