MT. Truman credited the 1Ab4 president with building the present United States Navy--the greatest tn history-because he knew "the iIl1~ portance to the survival of pl1l9 country of the mission of it's Navy the control of the seas"
 The president said that even aS MT. Roosevelt began to strengthen the navy at the start of his first term, "le began to work for world peace. By his realistic good-neigkl- bor policy, by reciprocal trade agreements, by constant appeal to international arbitration instead of force, he worked valiantly in the cause of peace"
 MT. Truman called on the nation to devote the same energetic coop- eration 1t gave the war effort to q prosperous peace.
 Follow Same Pattern
 "The same riches, the same skill and energy of America must now be used SO that all our people are better fed, better clothed, better housed; so that they can get work at good wages, adequate care for health, decent homes for their fam- flies, security for their old age, and more of the good things of hfe," he said.
 MT. Truman said the huge carrier named after MT. Roosevelt was ~a symbol of our commitment to the United Nations organization to reach out anywhere in the world and help the peace loving notions of the world stop any international gangSter. A hundred hours after leaving New York this ship could be off the coast of Africa. Tn five daya she could cross the western Pacific from Pearl Harbor to the Philip pines. This vessel alone could put more than hundred fighting planes over a target.
 We all look forward to the day when law rather than force will be the arbiter of international rela~ tions. We shall strive to make that day come soon. Until it does come. let us make sure that no possible aggreSsor is going to be tempted by any weakness on the part of the United States.

NAST GAAAsSA ASOSy
 A work stoppage in the nations steel, aluminium and iron ore in- dustries, which would be a par- alyzing blow to reconversion, was threatened today in labors' fight for wage increases.
 CIO President Philip Murray dis closed last night that the United Steel Workers Union would petition for a strike vote among more than 100000 of its members to back a demand for $2-a-day pay boost.
 Murray said basis for the action, similar to that which prompted re- cent nationwide strike votes in the automotive industry, was the major steel producers outright refusal" to grant increases necessary to sustain purchasing power and pre- vent another depression"
 Strike Vote Requested
 Murray said he would submit an immediate request for a strike vote for 64O,O00 workers in the 766 steel producing and Allied companies which already have formally reject ed the unions demand.
 Strike petitions, covering "in ex- cess of 100000 workers" will be on file with the National Labor Relations Board within 30 days as other companies formally turn down the demand, Murray said. The threat of strike action from two of the nations biggest and most powerful unions the steel workers and the CIO United Auto Workers labor's de- mands for a national wage-price policy.
 President Truman has promised to make public the government pol icy in a radio address Tuesday night.
 union leaders in both the Stee' and Auto Workers Union have eau toned members against premature strike action but have said. in ef- feet. that they will not stand fol more delay by the manufacturers.
 Tn the automotive industry, where Chrysler and General Motors em' ployes have given union leader! overwhelming assurance of theil support, UAW-CIO officials told thu companies to answer quickly whether there will be more pay or a Walkout."

Two Probate Appeals Set For tuesday
 Both Involve Late
 Evelyn Morris
 Estate

Two probate appeals involving the S124,00O estate of the late Eveline T. Morris of Waterbury, have been scheduled for hearings before Judge John A. Cornell in superior court next Tuesday.
 Edwin s. Todd of Southington brings one of the appeals in an eff fort to gain an additional one eighth share in the estate, while Adeline A. Watkins and her brother Frederick D. Parker, both of Ohio, have filed the other appeal in an attempt to obtain a one-eighth share which was ordered distributed to their grandfather's foster son, Frederick Holcomb Todd of Cleve- land, Ohio.
 The entire estate had been held in trust by the Colonial Trust Co., for Mrs. Morris daughter, Cornelia Morris since the will was admitted in 1916, and after her death, earlier this year, the probate court ordered distribution to the beneticiaries named in the will or to their rep- resentatives.
 Grandchildren Remembered
 The will of Mrs. Morris divided the estate into eight equal shares to be distributed after her daugh- ter's death. One of the shares was bequeathed to Edwin s. Todd and Eva Clark, grandchildren of Mrs. Morris brother, Edwin Todd.
 Todd, the appellant, points out that Eva Clark died in 1903 and that the probate court earlier this year held her share intestate and or- dered t distributed to the repre- sentative of Nellie (Cornelia) Mor- ris as sole heir-at-law and next of kir of Mrs. Morris.
 Todd claims the probate court erred in holding that the gift was not a gift to class of which he was the surviving member. The court erred, he maintains. in holding that the one-siXteenth Clark share un- der the Morris will was intestate and should go to the representative of Nellie Morris.
 The court was In error in deciding that he was not entitled to the Clark share, Todd claims.
 Mrs. Morris will also provided for two shares of the esttae of her brother, Franklin Todd. who died in 1903, He was survived by a daughter, Georgianna Todd Parker, who died in 1887. and an adopted son. Frederick Holcomb Todd.
 Mrs. Parker's children. Alkaline Watkins and Franklin Parker, as her representatives would gain one share by the probate ruling, while the other one-eighth share would go to their mothers foster-b brother Claim Court Erred
 The two appellants claim the pro- bate court erred in finding that Frederick Holcomb Todd as ar adopted child in Ohio had the ca pacity to inherit one-half of the be. quest of Franklin Todd, their grand father, and in finding that they, ai natural and blood relatives, were not entitled to the entire portion.
 Mrs. Morris executed the will July s. 1902, and 1t was admitted to pro. bate Sept. 25, 1916. She died Sept l6, 1916.

Washington, Oct. 27-(UP) -The Agriculture Department predicted today that civilian supplies of meat next year will reach 155 pounds per person, or about equal to the demand.
 Consumption at this rate would establish a new record for American meat-eaters. The previous record was set last year when consumption was near 150 pounds.
 Civilian meat supplies this year dropped to the lowest point of the war years, aver aging only 130 pounds per capita. During the height of. the shortage last summer, meat was available at an annual rate of only no pounds.
 The optimistic outlook drawn by the department in an an. nual survey gave a firm basis to the governments announced hope of ending meat ratiOning not later than Jan. l.

 Washington, Oct. 27. (UP)-The Army is making plans to insure the least possible interruption in schol- astic studies of youths during the year of service under the proposed universal training program, 1t was learned today.
 onlcials hoped the plans will counteract the opposition of educa- ton groups which have been out spoken against continuous year of training for college -age youths.
 According to plans now being formulated by the Army, educational institutions would be encouraged to give extension courses at the train- ing camps during off duty howrs. Full time civilian teachers would be obtained for more inaccessible camps.
 The Armys purpose Is to provide its trainees with the same educa- tional facilities that would be avail able to them if they were holding down a full time job in an Amer ican city.
 Illiterate School
 Schooling of illiterates to the fourth grade level would be the only educational part of the training program itself. For all others, edu- cation would come outside regular training hours.
 Tn addition to the extension courses, the correspondence courses of the armed forces institute would be available. These inci'aG the institutes own l5O coureses, plus about TOO courses offered by 85 colleges and universities.
 At each post an education otficer and a staff of professional educa- tors would provide trainees edu- cational guidance. They would ad- wise trainees of college entrance and scholarship requirements. At the request of educational tnstitu- tions, they would give college .en- trance and scholarship examina- tions. They would also be prepared to give proven aptitude tests to assist trainecs in choosing future courses of study or vacations.
 To assist its educational program the Army contemplates appoint ment of a committee Of nationally recognized leaders in elementary secondary, vocational and higher education. This committee would also include representatives of labor management, the learned profes' sions and agriculture.
