President Truman Stresses
Humun Reconversion job

ditional $40, 100000 for the cur
rent fiscal year to carry out "the
task of helping this vast army
of job seekers to fit themselves
into peacetime economy"
Draft To Continue
8. Draft. Asked extension of
the Selective Service Act, limi-
tation of inductions to the ages
18 through 25, and fixing of a
two year term.
8. Housing. A goal of 1,000,-
900 to 100000 homes a year
for the next ten years provides
ample opportunity for invest
ment of six to seven billion
dollars annually, and the en-
ployment of several million
workers. Truman endorsed in
general the broad proposals now
before Congress for housing
legislation.
10. Taxes. 1--WE must recon-
cile ourselves to the fact that
room for tax reduction at this
time is limited. A total war eff
fort cannot be hquidated over
night"
IL. Veterans. Tru m n en-
dorsed proposals by the Vet
Grams Administration to clarity
and improve current veteran
aid legislation. He asked that,
if Congress discontinued the Sell
ective Service Act, it clarity
the provisions which specifical-
ly deal with the right of re-
employment" He made no other
reference to the ticklish Super
seniority" controversy. "The real
work" of veteran refrigeration
into civilian life must be done
in each community, through CO.
operation of the industrial, labor
and civic organizations inter
ested in the welfare of the COM
munity and of the veterans"
Wants Conservation
IL. Public Works. Although
during this war this Nation has
reached the apex of its power
=. our national capital account
has greatly suffered" Discovery
of new methods of using low
grade ores, are necessary. 1--WE
should build and improve our
roads-the arteries of COM
merce; we must harness our
streams for the general welfare;
we must rebuild and reclaim our
land; we must protect and re-
store our forests. Congress
should proceed with the regional
development of the natural re-
sources of our great river val
leys. Machinery for making an
inventory of our natural wealth
and for testing the suitability
OF plans ana proposals for public
works in light of this purpose
must be set up. Specifically, pro-
posals for projects already plan
ned along these lines should now
be allowed to proceed. Federal
building construction and high
way expenditures should be re-
sumed. Airport construction
should be expanded greatly.
Construction of health centers
and hospitals with Federal funds
must be carried on.
Among the matters reserved
for detailed treatment in future
messages is the question of fur
ther extension of permanent So
cial security measures, the ques-
ton of peacetime compulsory
military training, the control of
the atomic bomb, and a federal
program to improve the health
Of the people of the nation.

necessary for OPA to continue
''to resist unreasonable pres
sures for higher prices on some

doing during the war. This Price

Asks For Extension
Truman asked for an exten-
sion of the Second War Powers
Act, which now is slated to ex-
pire Dec. 81, 1945.
4. Full employment. Repeat
ing to the members of Congress
the economic bill of rights put
forth by the late President
Roosevelt, Truman asked for
passage of the full employment
bill as aiding in carrying out
these rights through full pro-
duction and full employment at
decent wages. He asked early

5. FEPC. The President re-
peated his recommendation that
the Fair Employment Practice

to carry on the work begun by
the Federal Government during
the war years to remove Sim

lief that collective bargaining

MEMORIAL DAY
By RUTH TAYLOR

- H EMORIAL DAY is not Holt
NJ day, but holy day. Memorial
A Day is pause in which to
remember those who died in all our
wars, those who persisted in the last
great holocaust, as we'll as those who
are dying in the inferno of the present
war.
Memorial Day is a solemn day
one on which we, the nation, should
effectively consider the mistakes Of
the past, and calmly face the prob
lens of the future, resolving that
never again will we pay the price Of
a neglected duty.
Memorial Day is a day on which
we are all Americans. We do not
thing of celebrating it by groups Of
class or race or creed. Whatever group
Ioyalties bind US at other times-on
this day Of the year we are only
brother Americans.
In his tribute to the late President
of the United States on last Columbus
Day, the Attorney General said: "The
Commander-in- Chief knows men and
he knows war; and he knows the
American people. He knows that there
is no question of race on the beach
heads and no question of creeds in a
ioxhole. He knows that, as every race
and creed have mingled in our streets
every race and creed lies buried in
Arlington"
In war we are all one people. Our
boys do not die as rich or poor, work
ingman or employer, black or white,
native born or naturalized citizens,
Protestant, Catholic or Jew. They die
as Americans. We honor them as
Americans who gave their lives that
there might not perish from the earth
the ideals Of justice and liberty for all
men, regardless of their race, creed,
color or previous condition Of servi-
tude They have earned for their sons
anu IclltS IlINlS anu III l4lt4I liz ~ IL
bors' sons and daughters-the right
to live and prosper as Americans.
The one great honor we owe those
who have died, the only memorial
that is worth the building, is the pres
ervation of the things for which they
fought, the maintenance Of that unity
of purpose as Americans, which must
be the cornerstone of the world OF
tomorrow The unity that was won
on the beachheads; the unity that was
fused in the foXholes; the unity that
lies buried in Arlington and in un-
marked graves all over the world, is
the unity that we must preserve in
the days to come.
Memorial Day is holy day. And
on this day we must renew our pledge
to those who have gone on, that we
may be worthy of the sacrifice which
they, our fellow-Americans, have
made.

New Building Program Gets Started Here
 30 One-FomiIy
 Houses to Be
 Erected

One of the first postwar build ing programs in this city got under way this morning at George Cassidy, builder, began the erection of II one-family homes on Madison street. The houses will not be completed, however, until late spring or early summer, MT. Cassidy said, because of the current shortage of lumber.
 Mir Cassidy plans to build 19 more homes on the tract in South Wa terbury. Each house will comprise four finished rooms on the first floor and two unfinished rooms on the second floor. Estimated cost of con- struction of each is 5000, accord ing to permits issued by the building inspector, City Hall.
 The first home building program to get underway since the lifting of building restrictions on October Is is a project of seven homes be- gun last week by Bernandino De Munzio, on Oakville and Clematis avenues.

Provisions For Pensions Made

The first formal acturial means of setting up a budgetary reserve for city-paid pensions was made real- fly by the Board of Finance last night when the latter approved the sum of $390,662 for the city's 1946 city budget.
 The amount approved was orig finally computed by Russel Hooker Hartford actuary who was retained by the city to devise a workable sound pension system for the city.
 The measure became one of the most controversial in the citys history with fire and police depart ment members bitterly contesting its plausibility. Attempts were made to recamp the original legislation eventually passed at this years ses- sion of the General Assembly.
 City Budget Director Arnold F.. Furlong in supporting the approy- al cited 1t as the first formal, sound means evere adopted by any city administration.
