Hartford, Conn, Feb. 14-CUP)- Hopes that the general assembly might reach 8 compromise on the governors war powers bill proved short-ived today.
 The House received thlree Sen- ate-approved bills, suspending laws on behalf of the war effort tabled two of them as improperly drawn and amended a third in such way that it restored the one feature the senate has steadfastly objected to-renewing the governors sus- pension authority until Feb. 1, 1947.
 However, the House inserted 8 proviso that any of the governors suspensions could be revoked by the legislature within ten legislative days after they became effective.
 The amendment was tackled onto the bill which c alled for suspension of law limiting the number of standees in buses.
 Republican majority leader Her. bert L. Wanderer, Bethel, said we present the amendment in sin- CCAC Cl4O1U CO NOAALIIA OA1AloC III O 4dA1 way so that we may have a war em- ergency bill. The purpose of it is Soso that we will not be annoyed and harrased week after week by separate items of emergency as they come up. Separate bills to take care of separate problems do not meet the issue, and we cannot legislate to take care of all emergencies"
 The amended bill was approved without dissent and the rules were suspended to transmit it to the sen ate, which meanwhile had adjourned without considering any businses.
 The two bills tabled would have suspended laws which imposed a 10 p. m. curfeW on women restaurant workers, dncompelling war plans to make up their payrolls the day they were due.
 Wapderer said they did not meet the situation" and that as drawn they gave the governor more power through the back door" in that they would remain in effect until the end of the war or until the Governor declares an emergency no longer exists"
 A previously proposed compro- mise, allow the Governor to suspend

Manila Fight End In Sight
BY WILLIAM B. DICKINSON


 Manila, Feb. IA (UP) Nichols Field and the United States Navy wrecked anchorage at Cavite were back in American hands today and Gen. Douglas MacArthur proclaimed triumphantly that the end of the battle for Manila is in sight.
 With Manila's two main military prizes reconquered, M acArthur s tanks and infantrymen swarmed in from all sides to finish off the re- maining Japanese trapped along the flaming waterfront and around Fort Mckinley, on the city's southeastern outskirts.
 The doomed Japanese were writ ing off their three-year stay in Manila in last orgy of fire and blood. Thousands of terror-stricken Filipinos escaped into the American lines with word that the Nipponese were massacring men, women and children indiscriminately in the teeming residential district still un- der their control.
 Inside the old walled city, where the bulk of the enemy garrison was digging in for last stand, the Jap anese barricaded the streets and or- dered all civilians into their homes. Then they fired the buildings and machine-gunned the occupants as they tried to flee.
 The civilian death toll already WaS reported nearing the 1000 mark, and it was feared that many more would be killed before the last Japanese were wiped out.
 Units of the 11th airborne division advancing on Manila from the south captured the Nichol" airfield yester- day after more than a week of sav- age fighting, and then pushed on along the shores of Manila Bay to take the Cavite Naval Base.

Pubic Debt Slice Urged

Washington, Feb. 14 - (UP) - Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr, today told Con- gress that a strong postwar tax system must be maintained "at rate far higher than preWar expen- ditures." The public debt, he added, must be reduced as rapidly as pos sible.
 Morgenthau proposed these poli- cies in his report to Congress on the fiscal year 1944, which ended last June 30. For the first time, he went on record as favoring postwar tax reductions to encourage expan- sion of private enterprise.
 Such measures are essential to the realization of full employment in a peacetime economy of free enterprise and competition, he said.
 He added that little if any" tax reduction could be expected until major hostilitieS cease. Premature tax relaxation, he said, might tend to defeat the aims of the stabiliza- tion program.
 He assured Congress that there was no question of the ability of the country to pay off its huge public debt.
 Morgenthau poured cold water on reports in financial centdrS that the government was about to offer higher interest rates on it's securi- ties offerings.
 Continued low interest rates" he said, twill be a major contribution to economic stability and the main tenance of full employment after the war, for low interest rates stim- ulate business and encourage new enterprise"
 The interest rate on the public debt as of June 30 last year aver aged 193 per cent, Morgenthau said.
 Touching on the Breton Woods monetary and fiscal agreements, he said that economic cooperation will facilitate the revival and growth of world trade. To achieve these goals, he added, world cooperation with the proposed international Stabil- ization fund and bank Is essential.
 Total treasury recepts during fiscal 1914 were $45, 400, 000,0 900, or five and one-half times those of 1941, Morgenthau said. Nevertheless, he added, they met less than half of the wars costs in the same l2 months.

Defense On In Spy Case

New York, Feb. IA -- tU.P) - Prosecution and defense began summations today in the espionage trial of American born William C.. Colepaugh and German-born Erich Gimpel.
 Colepaugh, concluding his defense yesterday, told the seven-man mili- tary commission that he wanted to turn Gimpel over to Federal author ities but didn't know how to go about it.
 Asked why he wanted to turn in Gimpel, with whom he lived since they landed in America last NoVem- Der, Colepaugh said he had no grudge against the German, but II had to turn him in because of the dirty racket just being started and I wanted to help break it. I wanted then to help my native country
 The Army Bulletin on the closed trial did not disclose whether Cole paugh voluntarily reported to fed eral authorities before his arrest, or whether he gave any information leading to the arerst of Gimpel
 Gimpel, who listened intently to Colepaugh's testimony throughout the trial, declined to testify in his own defense.
 Earlier, Colepaugh testified that he was having such a good time spending part of the $60000 given the two German officials that he put off notifying the FBI of Gimpels presence in America
 He said Gimpel suggested that they split up shortly before Christ mas. He indicated that they sapar- ated about thta time, and testified that he did not meet Gimpel again until they both arrived at Cover nor'sIsland last month, under arrest,
 Gimpel and Colepaugh, 26-year- old native of Conencticut, face a possible death penalty if convicted

PATTERSONSET
 TOPUSH NURSE DRAFT MEASURE

Washington, February IA. - (UP) - UnderSecretary of War Robert P. Patterson said today that in the opinion of military leaders "the end of the fighting in Europe is not in sight"
 He made the statement in urging the House Military Affairs Committee to ap- prove legislation providing for drafting of nurses.
 Patterson's assertion gave empha- sis to a statement yesterday by War Mobilization Director James F. Byrnes that more men will be in combat net month than ever be- fore" Byrnes based that remark on plans drawn at the Big Three Cri- mea conference which he attended.
 American forces in Europe, Pat terson warned, face great deal of hard fighting"
 To emphasize the army's need for nurses, he pointed out that 100000 American soldiers already have been wounded in this war. During the week ended January IA, he said, 13,- 563 men were wounded and the fol- lowing week 22,825 were wounded. Wounded reports for the next week list 16,538 soldiers.
 He pointed out that those figures do not cover the army's sick.
 President Roosevelt in his annual State of the Union message last month asked congress to enact the nurses draft legislation. He said the Army last year had established goal of 10000 additional nurses but had been able to get only 2,O0O through voluntary recruiting.
 Patterson told the House Com mittee that "thre is no time to lose,

German Use or Poison Gas Feared After Crin1ea NeuUs

Stockholm sources speculated that Schmidt's statement might fore shadow German use of poison gas.
 The death sentence outlined for Germany in the Crimean declara- tion frees the Reich of "all moral obligations to abide by the rules of war, the Nazi-controlled Scandi- navian telegraph bureau quoted Schmidt as saying at press confer ence.
 "The Germans henceforth will conduct the war with all suitable means, no matter how grim their effect" Schmidt said.

Washington, Feb. l4.--(UP)-The so-called educated guessers were betting today that Russia would join the fight against Japan-sooner or later.
 There were some observers and they were pretty much in the minor ity-who thought that the Russians aren't going to lift a finger after the Germans are beaten.
 But all agreed that Russia was the key to an early victory over Japan. Military experts believe the Pacific war can be shortened as much as a year if the Russians

London, Feb. IA (U.P) - Eu- ropean dispatches said today that Germany has proclaimed her inten- tion of scrapping the rules of war for "no-holds- barred" fight to the death as result of the Big Three's Crimean declaration.
 The new policy was said to have been set forth yesterday by Paul Schmidt, official spokesman for the German foreign office, in an angry outburst at the Wilhelmstrasse over the joint statement of President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill and Premier Stalin.

bowel. Many people are consti-

pain or other symptoms from the
condition. and those who 90. suf-
Ger more In mind than in body.
According to Doctor 7. L. Hardy
= England, constipation, in prac-
tlcally all eases, is the result of
faulty training. individuals vary Il
great deal in the number of bowel
movements they have each day. A
survey was made of people be-
tween the ages of II and SO years.
ana it was found that about one
aalf had a bowel action once a
Hay ,wo-tifths more than once a
day. and the remainder less often
than once a day; yet, all of these
people we're normal IN every way.

of the bowel action, but upon regu-
larIty and the absence OF discom-
fort or undue effort.
Various Changes
Many things. such as change of
occupation, change of climate, SIM
pie glandular disturbances. and
emotional upsets, may disturb
regularity of habit. 1t has been
stated that perhaps one of the
most common causes of constipa-
ton is the suppression Of the de-
sire at various times during the
day.
In treating constipation it is
important that there be no feeling

above it was found that about one
fourth Of those studied took laxa-
tiveS twice a week or more often.
Some people take laXatives be-
cause they are afraid they may

who begin the habit to get rid Of 4

to constipation, such as headache,

intestincs. There are still others
who start the habit because they
are influenced by advertising or
in other ways.
Nervous Disorders
There is a certain type of con-
stipation which Is due to nervous
disorders. This is called spastic
constipation. The individual with
this condition should endeavor to
overcome the excessive nervous
ness. Strain. both emotional and
physical. should be avoided, and
the patient should be taught to
have no anxiety concerning the
matter of bowel action.
Diet is helpful in the treatment
of all kinds of constipation. In
the type due 10 nervousness, a
bland diet should be used. that is,
one which is free from highly-sea-
soned and bulky foods.
Severe constipation is a disorder
which should be treated under the
direction of a physician. He will

is present and outline the treat
ment which Will correct it most

- NE of the major milestones in
the life of every American
~ male is his first haircut. It's
an event-even if he can't remember
il when he grows up-that ranks
with the ordeal of the first day Of
school and the thrill of making a
public appearance in his first pair of
long pants.
To most youngsters that initial
trip to the barber shop assumes the
unfamiliar and unpleasant aspect of
an operation: the clippers and the
shears become instruments of torture;
the barber is a white-coated fiend
who imprisons you in queer kind of
chair that pumps you up In the air
and spins you round and round.

assurance in the face of the mother

GIs Kept on Lonely Isle
Awaiting Enough Points
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
HONOLULU, Nov. 10.-Complaints
from 140 high-point veterans or
lonely Canton Island in the Phoenix
group that they have been awaiting
transportation home since last July
brought confirmation-and a prom
Use of quick ride-from the mid
Pacific Commands transportation
office today.
The office, acknowledging com.
plains appearing in the Army news
paper Stars and Stripes, attributed
the delay to the fact that only few
men at a time had become eligible
for discharge. This, it said, made il
necessary to wait until enough were
eligible to justify sending a troor
ship approximately 1000 miles from
Honolulu to pick them up.
A troopship now in a forward area

Similar complaints were received
by Stars and Stripes recently from
