And now there are those who say, But we'll
never be able to use in peace all the productive
capacity we built for war"
Sea .oboe
It's true that our productive plant is bigger
than ever before. It's true that lot of it was
built for war. It's true that much of it will
have to be rebuilt for peace.
So what? We can do 1t!
It's true that, to keep all that productive
capacity operating, we'll have to make sure that
people will be able to buy all we'll be able to
produce after the war.
We can do that, too!
Not through government hand -outs-which
would only pile up more debt and higher and
higher taxes. But by using our productive capac-
ity to give Americans more for their money
in the things they buy, so they can buy more
and thus create more jobs and more earnings
for all.
In short, by making full use Of this countrys
limitless energy and ambition, we can help lead
the world into an era of peace and plenty greater
than any yet seen.
Business is pledged to do it's part - first, by
increasing the opportunities for all to earn and,
second, by increasing the opportunities for all
to buy
To increase the opportunities for all to earn,
business pledges just and enlightened wage
policy, and the opening of every possible avenue
of advancement for the worker.

Hopkins, Plus Enjoy Farley

Rome, Jan. 30-(UP)-Harry Hop kins told newspapermen today that the big three conference must be conducted quickly because Marshal Stalin cannot absent himself long from the Russian front.
 Hopkins conferred today with Pope Plus in his series of European consultations which have already taken him to London and Paris as advance man for President Roose- velt
 Hopkins said that since Stalin himself actively directed the Red Armys operations and strategy the Soviet leader could not remain away from front operations for any lengthy period. particularly at the present time.
 Hopkins said frankly that neither the Americans nor the British knew how powerful the Soviet offensive would prove to be or whether the Nazis would be able to halt the Red Army.
 Hopkins was received by the Pope this morning.
 Vatican officials gave no hint of the nature of the conference but said 1t could be considered part of Hopkins spadework in preparation for the big three meeting.

President 63, Whereabouts Still Secret
(NEA Telcphoto)
By MERRIMAN SMITH

Washington, Jan. 3O.-CUP)-- President Roosevelt was 63 years old today but his observance of the date was far overshadowed by his pend- ing meeting with Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Premier Josef Stalin.
 Tn sharp contrast to other years of more carefree birthdays, MT. Roosevelt's day was monopolized by war tasks of the highest importance. Consequently he was to take no di- rect public part in the nationwide observance of his birthday.
 Tonight he will send radio mes- sage to the American people through his wife who will read it on the air. This will be the Presidents cus- ton. ary thanks to the nation for the millions contributed annually on the occasion of his birthday to fight infantile paralysis.
 His whereabouts were not dis closed and 1t was not possible to report further how the President was spending his birthday.
 Completely aside from MT. Roose- velts birthday activities, however, signs pointing to the imminent "big three" meeting were increasing al- most by the hour. MT. Roosevelt's repeated statements of recent weeks tt at he planned to meet soon with Churchill and Stalin were under

Coal trains rolling eastward today brought predictions that the govern nent's emergency rationing Of fuel may be eased in some northeastern areas hit with both food and fuel shortage by three-day embargo on all but military freight.
 Snow and ice still hampered traf- flc in New England and New York State and more snow was predicted for the region today, with colder weather following tonight.
 The freight embargo ended last midnight but solid fuels Adminis- trator Harold I. Ickes' 17-state ban on large coal deliveries carried no time limit. The ban was ordered for the duration of the emergency. Full effect of the embargo will be felt later this week. the STA warned.

Quick March
 Into Manila Likely
By WILLIAM E. DICKINSON

General MacArthur's Headquar- ters, Luzon, Jan. 30 - (U.PD -Van- guards of the American Sixth Army swung down on the last Japanese de fense line north of Manila today, driving into the sWamp-lined Cal umpit bottleneck barely ten miles from Manila Bay and B miles from the enslaved Philippines capital.
 Front dispatches indicated that only a thin Japanese covering force lay between the advancing dough- boys and Manila, although the diffi- cult terrain was expected to prevent quick march into the city.
 (Tokyo, asserting that the Amer jeans still were being contained on the central Luzon Plain around Bambain, 18 miles above San Fer nando, said the greatest battle o1 the Pacific war was expected to de- velop in that area and that a New American landing in the 'Manils area" was anticipated.

Williamson ppeoI In

Hartford, Conn, January 90 - (UP) - Charles E. Williamson, Dar- fen, one-time influential Fairfield County Republican leader who served jail term for his part in the notorious Waterbury municipal graft scandal six years ago, appealed again to the Legislature today for the restora ton of his forfeited rights.
 A similar resolution two years ago was rejected.
 Williamson, according to teSti- mony at the trial in which more than a score of others were con- victed of conspiracy to defraud the city of $500 900, used his influ- ence in the Legislature to obtain favorable action on bills which the Waterbury City Administration was anxious to have approved.
 The resolution was offered in the House which also received similar petitions on behalf of William Strasser. Darien; Antonio Sabia. Stamford; James M. Kelly, Ham den, and Angus Rollo, East Haven.

City Workers Present Own Pension Bill

Atty. John Thoms has been re- tained by group of city employees to present a compromise pension bill in the General Assembly, Hartford, this session, it has been learned by the Democrat today.
 It was reported elsewhere that local fire and police department members have retained former Re- putlican Lieut.. Gov. William Had don to represent their interest rela- tive to the pension bill proposed by the Pension Commission now already presented to the Legislature.
 It has been declared that the com promise bill is similar to that now in effect iii the city of Hartford and the system used by the State. Go T. tributionS by employees are said to have been adjusted under the com pronsie plan so as to compare with :ile Pension Commissions proposed bill but tenure of office and rela- tive features are said not to be like.
 It was cot stated today just how many employees have entered the plan for presenting compromise bill but it is believed that the group is large Considerable opposition was shown by all employe groups to the proposed city bill when public near ings were first conducted. At onat time employees generally disputed the tenure of employment required under the bill before eligibility for retirement set in.
 It is expected that the compr omise bill will be presented to Waterbury'S Democratic legislators as request bill, as 1t is not believed that the latter solons will be agreeable to sponsoring any bill contrary to that suggested by the Pension Comm,js- S.on However, there is tEe posSibil- ity that such a compromise bill, If more amenable to the general wishes of the employees would receive the
