HOME 'FRONT.':
TIGHTEN Economy

Congressional hearings on a work
OF fight bill for men from 18 to As
years old; imposition of an $18 cell,
ing per 100 pounds on live beef
cattle; al appeal to householders to
keep temperatures at 60 degrees,
and a ban on all advertising light
ing using power developed from coal
marked the governments latest
moves on the home front to fit the
nation into the tightening war
economy.
Considered after President Roose-
velt's demand for a national service
act, the work or fight bill under dis
cussion provides for the induction of
any draft registrant from Is to As
into army labor battalions if he fails
to enter essential employment or
shifts jobs without permission of
local boards. With the services plan
ming to take 900, 900 men within the
next six months, and with another
1000 persons needed in essential
war work plus requirements for
those drafted from industry, some
sort of legislation was held to be
the most effective way for routing
manpoWer in the future.
Regarding the draft, Secretary of
Wal Stimson said practically all

PEACETIME DRAFT:
Hit by Colleges

Although pledging full support fol
an adequate defense program, the
Association of American Colleges
went on record as against imme-
diate enactment of compulsory
peacetime military training for
youth because other methods have
not been fully explored and the sub
ject should be given more study
than now is possible.
Chairman of the committee draw
ing up the resolution against imme-
date enactment of peacetime con-
scription, DR.. Donald J. Cowling,
president of Carleton college, said:
"This country did not get into the
present mess through lack of man.

FOOD:
1915 Prospects

So far well fed Americans cal
continue to look forward to substan
tial nutritious fare in 1915 although
supplies will be below last years
VIA Supply and Distribution Direc
tor Lee Marshall declared.
Although there will be about the
same amount Of beef, there will be
less pork, veal and lamb, Marshall
said. Poultry supplies should be
larger.
Supplies Of dairy stocks will be
spotty, Marshall predicted, with
more fluid milk, enough evaporated
milk to meet essential needs, but
less butter.
Although in good supply, the vol
ume of fresh fruits and vegetables
for the next three months will not
approach last years, Marshall
said. Offsetting a slight increase in
the supply of canned vegetables for
1915 will be about IL per cent less
canned fruits and juices.
Cereal products will be plentiful
but the sugar situation will be tight,
the VIA official declared, because
of smaller reserves and increased
military requirements.

able-bodied men under 80 will be
drafted this year, because of the
services emphasis on younger men.
Establishment of an $18 ceiling
on live cattle up to July 2, when the
top will fall to $3.50, came after
lengthy discussion between govern
ment representatives and feeders,
who declared the move would re-
suit in less choice beef because of
rising production costs. Emphasiz-
ing its desire for output of more
low grade beef, Economic Stabilizer
Vinson ordered OPA and War Food
administrator to limit choice and
good cattle slaughter for each
month.
The appeal to householders to
keep temperatures at 60 degrees,
and the order to cut off advertising
lighting, were both aimed at con-
serving fuel, what with estimated
consumption of soft coal for 1915 set
at $40, 900 900 tons and production
at $50, 900 900, with the latter figure
rejecting a reduction of $4,000 in
the mining force since 1913. Fur
thermore, the industry's stockpiles
amount to only one months supply.

Exclusive on Farm Draft!
By Walter Shead
WNU Washington Correspondent

WNU washington correspondent
The farm public is unduly
alarmed over the recent directive
of War Mobilizer James F.
Byrnes ~subjecting $50, 900 agri-
cultural workers Is to 26 to in
ductiOn in the new mobilization of
manpOwer for the army and
navy, according to farm lead
eEs in the nations capital.
There is no evidence, they say,
that the SeIective Service COM
mission intends to nulIify the
Tydings amendment to the Sc
lective Service act, which specif-
icaIiy provides for deferment of
farm labor, if requirements are
not available, and if local draft
boards determine the workers
are more essential on the farms.
1t could be, authorities say
here, that if there are any farm
workers who have left the farm
for other work if there are
any who may be considered nom
essential, such as workers on hop
farms, or mushroom growers -.
they may be called to military
service under reclassificatiOn.

EUROPE:
Back Again

Their drive stopped, their tanks
under increasing pressure from
Field Marshal Montgomery's forces
on the north and Lieutenant Cen
eral Bradley on the south, the Ger
mans slowly withdrew from their
big bulge in Belgium and LuXem-
bourg, seeking satisfaction in their
claims that the offensive had re-
lieved Allied pressure on the Ruhr
and Saar.
Meanwhile, the Nazis continued
their limited offensive in Alsace on
the southeastern end of the winding
460-mile front, shifting the weight of
their attacks to the Strasbourg re-
gion after the U. S. Seventh army
blunted their attempt to split it in
two near Bitche.
Although relinquishing most of the
ground gained during the initial
burst of his great December often
sive, Field Marshal Won Rundstedt
managed to eXtricate the bulk of his
forces from the bulge, leaving only
scattered rearguards to his
retreat through the swirling biz
yards.
BY diverting the bulk of Allied
forces with the drive into Belgium,
the Nazis claimed, they preserved
much of their war-making potential
by temporarily stalling the drives
on the great steel, chemical and
coal centers of the Ruhr and Saar.
Action on the eastern front con-
tinued to center in Hungary, though
the Russians we're reported prob
ing into German defenses in the
Baranow region, some 100 miles be-
low Warsaw on the road to Silesia.

BUDGET:
81 Billion Asked

Total authorizations for the war
program since 1910 will have
reached $50 billion dollars by June
80, 1916, with President Roosevelt's
request for an 81 billion dollar budget
for the next fiscal year ending on
that date.
At 81 billion dollars, the Presi-
dents budget was about 10 billion
dollars below last years 100 billion
dollars, with most of the reduction
in war expenditures. Because of de-
creased war expenditures, how
ever, individuals and corporations
will receive less income and pay
less taxes, with revenue expected
to go down to about Al billion dol
lars. By the end of June, 1916, the
national debt will reach 292 billion
dollars, the President estimated.
Included in the Presidents budget
was a request of 212 billion dollars
for veterans benefits, which can be
expected to increase upon demobili-
cation, he said, and the asking of
a half billion dollars for the War
Food administration for the farm
price support program. He also re-
quested that the borrowing authori-
ty of the Rural Identification sys-
tenn be raised to $50 million dollars
and that of the Farm Security ad-
ministration to 125 million.

Like a good prize-hghter, General
Macarthur struck on Luzon in "a
600-ship, 7O-mile long convoy after
successfully feinting the enemy out

the American landings were almost

Martinique, all just south of Luzon,
Macarthur compelled the enemy to
keep a strong guard strung below
Manila. Then, he moved to the
north.
With Luzon the center of their

Japanese appeared determined to
put up a stiff fight for it, with the

The Fine Arts Series of concerts presented by the Mattatuck Musical Ar society will ope nTuesday, Oct. g, at the Waterbury Women's club, Jesus Maria Sanrona, pianist, the featured artist.
 Olin Downes of the New York Times said of Sanroma, that he Is "equaled by a very few and out rivaled by no one"
 The piano virtuoSo was born in Fajardo, Puerto Rico, in 1903. He is equally at home in classic and romantic music, or in the modern of whom he has been so persuasive champion. He has appeared in recital and with orchestras in Lon- don, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Madrid, Barcelona, and the major cities of the United States and Canada. Dur the summer of 1o43 he was starred in Gershwin Festivals in San Fran cisco, Los Angeles, Washington and New York, and has been featured in coast-to-coast broadcasts. He also has made rb ny recordings. Ro- mantle with Mendelssohn, ironic with Stravinsky, spectacular with Rachmaninoff, impressionistic with Debussy, lin the groove" with Gershwin, Sanrorna is a pianist who makes everything he plays com pletely musical and completely fasci- hating.
 If you called Sanroma by his full name, you would be negotiating quite a feat of diction, since 1t adds up to Jesus Maria del Carmen Jose y Joaquin Sanroma y Torra de la Riba Porta Ripola y Ramos Viader Cas- anovas y Gay.
