Crucial Months Ahead For America" Truman
May Veto
 Pension Measure
No Action by Monogon Up to Press Time.

The hotly contested resolution calling for a referendum on an amendment to the city pension, and recently passed by the Board of AL dermen, seemed doomed by veto at press time today, as Mayor John s. Monagan made no move to sign the measure.
 A resolution calling for a refer endum on an amendment to the city pension law remained unsigned by Mayor John s. Monagan at press hour today. The measure ex- cluding police and firemen from receiving benefits under the law must be signed today, 1t is be- heved, if 1t is to go on the voting machines. The law states that such an amendment must be signed 60 days before the Nov. 6 election.
 Expiration Status
 However the time of expiration was much in dispute today. At 8 hearing last Friday evening it was emphasized that yesterday would be the final date on which the con- troversial resolution could be signed. A special meeting of the Board of Aldermen was subsequently, called for Tuesday in order that the mayor could act yesterday.
 It is believed that if Mayor Mon- agan does not append his signature to the proposal today, it will be automatically killed.
 Atty. Maurice M. Gruskay and Edward M. Ryan, representing the Citizens Committee, declared the final expiration date is today, and the committee is planning to sub- init a petition to have placed on

President Urges Unity By SoIons
 Speech to Congress Asks Effort ToWurd
 Prosperity and
 Peace
By LYLE c. WILSON

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, Sept. 6 - (UP) - President Truman told Congress in d message today that prompt and cour- ageous handling of reconver- sion is essential to launch the United States upon "the greatest peacetime industrial activity we have ever seen. Z"
 His message gave Congress the administrations emer- gency and long-range pro- grams, including 'limited" business tax relief in 1946. It was an urgent invitation to legislators to join MT. Tru- man in determined action now"
 The extraordinary, 16,0OO word document arrived on Capital Hsll with supplementary reports. The President did not deliver it in per- son.
 Crucial Times Ahead
 ''The next few months are cru- cial," the message said. What we do now will affect our life for dec- adeS to come"
 MT. Truman acknowledged that there will be "a great deal of ir1- evitable unemployment" But he said there was mo reason to fear either the immediate future or the years that lie ahead"
 With the promise of almost ilm- mediate but limited and unspeci- fled tax relief and more to colne later-at least for busineSs-the message warned that price lines must be held on reconversion and cost of living items. The President asked for extension of the second war powers act-expiring Dec. 3i, 1945-under which he exercises pro- duction and inventory controls as well as the right to order allo- cations of food, set-asides of conn modities and rationing among con- Slmers.
 | Asks Unity
 He urged Congress to avoid any arbitrary and wholesale abridge- ment of numerous war powers voted to the late Franklin Delano Roose- velt If some powers should be eliminated, the President said, let it be on a Selective basis. Other wise there would be 8 sweeping and crtppling abolition of powers varis ously authorized for Fin time o. war" during the present war; flor the duration" or until the cessation of hostilities."
 The time has not arrived, he said, for proclamation of ''terntina- tion of the war"
 MT. Truman indicated that mass production industries must expect at first to produce at loss until they actually are in mass produc- tion again. Promising firm enforce ment of price control powers, MT. Truman said the Office of Price Administration would have his com- plete support in the hold-the-line program.
 During the months that lie ahead, however" he said, some groups nj business may be tempted to substitute for this long-range wartime thinking a short-range poi- icy designed to secure prices high enough to provide immediate pro- fits over and above their temporarily high costs of production due to their initial low volume. These pressure will be resisted"

WutertoWn Plans Vets Honor Rolls
 Vote 77-29
 For Public
 Subscription
By MRS. JOSEPHINE CAVITY (Watert0wn CorrespOndent)

Watertown, Sept. 6 - The Temp est in the Teapot as Col. S. Kellogg Plume, chairman of the Water town-O -Oakville honor roll committee called the altercation which has arisen during the past few weeks over proposed public subscription drive for funds to erect permanent bronze honor roll in Watertown ended in a peaceful settlement at a public meeting in the Town Hall last evening attended by over 100 residents of Oakville and Water town.
 A vote was passed, IT to 29, on a motion presented by Harry Fleisher, that permanent and suitable honor rolls for veterans of World War II be provided by immediate public subscription, one for district num- Der one and one for district number 2, Oakvilie and Watertown.
 Excess Funds
 Tn event of any excess funds that money will be retained for a future memorial program to honor or assist war veterans. The installation, style, location. etc, was left in charge of a volunteer committee from each of the two districts.
 Col. Plume opened the meeting with an explanation of the origin of the honor roll committee.
 Harvey Stetson of WatertoWn, a World War IT vet who was a Ger man war prisoner for mony months, expressed the opinion that the un- willingness of WatertoWn residents to go along with the honor roll com- nittee's plans was not as 1t sounded on the surface. He felt that there should be honor rolls erected by the towns through appropriations and that the public subscription drive should be taken up for a living war memorial. He felt sure. he said, that many of the fellows would be glad to have some sort of clubhouse for relaxation.
 Mrs. Robert BelfIt said she felt the eIb.OO0 quota already set for the drive would 90 far to help the vets, perhaps in government hoss pitals. with special mention of the Hospital for Blind Veterans in Avon, She did not feel, she said. that many persons noticed the first World War Memorial boulder tn WateFtown.

@. What is the. distinction be-
tween Army forts and Army camps?
On what date was Camp Meade
changed to Fort Meade?-V. H.
A. Permanent Army posts are
designated as forts. Places occupied
temporarily by troops are called
camps. The War Department says
that the Army determines which of
| its various camps will be made into
forts. Fort George G. Meade,
Maryland, was first called Camp
Meade, then Fort Leonard Wood,
then Fort George G. Meade. The
date of the last change in name was
February Is, 1929.
@. If the record of soldier who is
overseas is lost, will he have to re-
main overseas until his record is
| found?-L. E. P.
A. The War Department says that
If the record of soldier of our
Army is lost his commanding ofiicer
will start a supplemental service re-
cord. 1t is not necessary for a SOL
dier to remain overseas until his
service record is found. Many SOL
diers are being discharged without
their original service record.
@. Is it true that an MP cannot
arrest a civilian?-T. H. D.
A. The War Department says that
normally Military Police are not au-
thorized to arrest civilians. An ex-
ception would be in a case where
a civilian was observed committing
felony. under which circumstances
the Military Police would have the
same authority to arrest the civilian
as a civilian officer would have.
@. Are there any recent figures
on the number of blind persons in
this country?-S. S.
A. The latest census of the blind
is for 1890 and shows a blind popu-
lation of 63,489. The National So
ciety for the Prevention Of Blind
ness estimates that there are now
$50 900 blind persons - the United
States.
@. Which States lead in total per-
sonnel furnished the Army and Navy
in the Second World Wars. P.
A. AS of December 81. 1914, Army
personnel by State of residence was
as follows for the five leading States:
Pennsylvania, 663, 3,666; Illinois, 507.-
233; California, 453,057; Ohio, 434,-
089; Texas, 400, ,902. AS of December
81, 1914, naval personnel by State
of residence for the six leading States
was as follows: New York, 288, ,484;
California, 250,e34; Pennsylvania,
239, 9,461; Illinois, 19l 1886; Ohio, 17o,-
290; Texas, 147, ,479.
@. Has the 18th Armored Division
been dissolved?-K. Mel.
A. The War Department says the
18th Armored Division has not been
dissolved. It is now in Czechoslo-
vakia. No schedule has been set up
for its return.
