STATE TO REPAIR
f.. FISHER ROAD
Shortage OF Men And Ma
terials Cited AS Reason
For Delay On JOB

The State Highway and Puols
Works commission, through l.. J.
Betts. its chief engineer, yesterday
announced its readiness to preserve
he historic Fort Fisher road
against the tide Of erosion.
Belts declared that the commits
sion has no intention OF letting the
road wash away, and said that on.
" the current shortage Of men and
materials holds up immediate work
in the Fort Fisher area.
The Fort Fisher road runs past
the now eroded mound at the bat
tie site. A highway on the ocean
side of the fort has also been wash
ed away.
The road fell into its existing
state of neglect during the period
when it was under U. S. Army con-
troll, Belts recalled.
Material snortages-this time OF
steel-were also cited by Belts as
the chief bar to repairs on the
bridges across Alligator creek and
the Brunswick river. The bid price
on steel, he pointed out, has al
ready rendered ineffective two
prior advertisements for repair OF
the bridges.

WASHINGTON, Nov. rs - up -
The President and Mrs. Truman
broke bread Tuesday night with
representatives Of 80 countries and
SO othe- guests at the first OF two
diplomatic dinners marking re-
sumption of the first full White
House social season since 1889. =
A second diplomatic dinne-,
equally brilliant and festive, will
be held in the state dining room
next Tuesday night. The decision
to hold two dinners instead of the
customary one was made because
of the increased size Of the diplo-
matte corps in recent years.
The only precedent for dividing
the corps into two groups was in
1916 during President Wilson'S ad-
ministration. That year this coun.
try was not yet at war, but most
Of Europe was, and two dinners
were held to separate the war
ring factions.
Shortly after the blackout cu--
tains came down in the White
House as the fighting in the sec
ond World War ceased, the execu-
tive mansion was cedecorated.
Tuesday night the magnificent
crystal chandeliers sparkled and
the highly polished floors cleaned.
Pink carnations and pink and white
pompons decorated the tables.
Martins Present
The diplomatic guest list was
headed by the dean of the corps,
the Ambassador Of Brazil, Carlos
Martins, and Madame Martins. Ir
the absence Of Secretary of State
|Byrnes, who is at the United Ma
Itions conference, the State depart
lment was represented by Dean
Acheson, acting secretary. He was
accompanied by Mrs. Acheson.
From Congress were invited
Senator Ebert D. Thomas, Demo.

lations committee, and Senator
Alexander Wiley Of Wisconsin, a

Of the Nesbitt hospital, said men,
bers of the staff have been unable

ease. All children born at the hos
pital during the last few weeks
were not affected. Eckart said.

Problems
National Director of Pubic Rela-

American Veterans
BY MILLARD W. RICE

National Director of Pubic Rela-
tions and Employment, Disabled
American Veterans
Veterans who have service-con-
nected disabilities should not be
branded as any less desirable
than ab1e-bodied employees simply
because they receive disability
compensation.
Several surveys conducted by
various industrial firms and gov
ornamental agencies how that
serice-handicapped veterans and
other handicapped civilians, being
extremely anxious to avoid the
disadvantages of additional dis
abilities, are psychologically con-
ditioned to be more careful, ca'l-
tious and resourceful.
Such surveys also show that,
when properly placed in jobs suit
able to their respective physical
capacities, skills and aptitudes,
service handicapped veterans and
other handicapped civilians who
know the difficulty Of procuring
'oNs and who are, therefore, ex-
Ordinarily an xious to make
good on those they have-are gen.
orally more cooperative and
loyal, more steady and reliable,
and more productive and service
able, than are other employees.
Service = disabled veterans are
converted from community liabili-
ties into community assets by
suitable, gainful, useful, and con-
tinuous employment. Suitable en-
ployment of disabled veterans is
advantageous not only to the vet
Grams a n d their dependents, but
also to their communities and to
their employers, beth as employ
ers and as taxpayers:
Employers need to know these
facts if Americas. disabled war
veterans are to De given an equal
lied opportunity FOR suitable en-
ployment. During June, 1916, only
about one of every 20 disabled
veterans actively r egistered with
U. S. Employment Service offices
was placed in a job, as against
about n Of every four actively
registered non-veterans.
Practically every di sabled wal
veteran is employable wher

ishment of rent controls or even a blanket increase in the amounts charged for rents when they can apply to the Area Rent Office of the OPA for increases in cases of hardship?
 MANY APPROVALS GRANTED
 Since rent control has been in effect, 100000 adjustments have been made nationally. Approximately 579o of all petitions received have been granted. Between $500 and 4,000 landlords in the New Haven area have received approval for increases. During the month of November, 1o46, 1o2 cases were approved for increases out of a total of 283 actions brought before the board, or a total of 579o.
 The Rent Control office also ap- proved, during the month of NO- vember. 50 eviction certificates out of a total of 2O3 actions, or better than 73% approval in favor of the landlords.
 It appears that landlords have at their command adequate machinery to prevent hardship and that the formation of pressure groups to abolish rent controls is comparable to killing the goose that laid the golden eggs.
 PRESSURE GROUP ACTIVE
 Real estate boards, landlords, and property owner groups are organizing locally under the guise of protecting the American home and property own CTS. Many of these groups are form ing local chapters of the National Home and Property Owners Founda- ton, political pressure group, at present comfortably established in Washington. The prime purpose of the Foundation is the elimination of rent control and opposition to slum clear ance.
 The main campaign to date has been to block passage of the Wag- ner-Ellender-Taft long-range hOus- ing bill. The bill is designed to all leviate the acute housing shortage, but was, attacked by an insidOus propaganda bulletin released by the Foundation in which they said, ssThis law means millions of sO- cialized barracks will be built in- stead of homes opens the door to total communism is one Of the biggest raids in history on the U. s. Treasury"
 The Foundation was reported as not being opposed to organized landlords withholding of vacated apartments and houses to smash OPA rent control.
 The Foundation believes that the basic housing trouble is that people today are occupying 18o more space than before the war and that those

Food Prices Now
 85%HigherT Than In August, l939
Rose 4.3%o In Last Month, And 28.3% Higher
 Than Year Ago

Retail prices of important foods in New Haven rose 4.3 per cent from id-September to mid-October, it was announced today by Wendell D. Mac donald, regional director of the Bu- reau of Labor Statistics of the U. s. Department of Labor.
 Food prices in New Haven are now 28.3 per cent higher than Oc- tOber one year ago, and 85.6 per cent higher than in August 1939 when the war broke out in Europe. Higher prices for cereals and bak- cry products, meats, dairy products, eggs, fruits and vegetables, and sugars and sweets were responsible for the rise between mid-September and mid-O October.
 Meat prices rose 3.1 per cent due to sharp increases in prices of chick ems and fresh and canned fish. Tn mid October, sufficient price quotations were obtained to compute price in dexes only for veal chops among the red meats. The percentage changes from mid-September to mid-October for this meat reflects variations from August prices since meat prices for August were used in the September index. .

veal chops are lower than those of August, they are higher than the ceilings in effect before their re- mOval on October Is. All beef and lamb items were in insufficient SUD- ply and prices used in the index were those of August.
 DAIRY PRODUCTS UP
 Dairy products rose sharply 6.6 per cent due principally to higher prices for butter which ranged from 89c to $1.1O per pound. Egg prices jumped IS per cent due in part to the usual season rise at this time of year.
 Prices of fresh, canned and dried vegetables rose on the average l.l per cent. Higher prices were report ed for oranges, carrots, lettuce, green beans, canned peaches, dried beans, and canned corn. These rises were more than sufficient to offset the decline in the price of potatoes.
 Cereal and bakery products were up 2 per cent with higher prices for flour and some miscellaneous baked goods. Sugars and sweets jumped sharply 148 per cent due chiefly to higher ing of higher ceilings by OPA to as- prices for sugar following the grant sure sufficient imports.
