Strike SirdngIeho|d Is Con- tinuing Along Pacific
 Waterfront
(BY THE ASSOCIATED PREss)

The strike stranglehcld clauped on Americas maritime fleets for l3 days was broken today by vol untary shortening of CIO seamen's picket lines so AFL sailors and longshoremen could return to work. Within few hours after Joseph Curran. President of the National Maritime Union tCIO, announced his decision to restrict pickets to CIO-contracted vessels, thousands of AFL longshoremen went to the docks and began working ships at Portland. Maine, Boston. Baltimore and elsewhere.
 In Boston, six ships including cargoes of raw sugar, wood pulp, granite and goods from India were being unloaded AFL waterfront crews went back to work at Balti- more without interference from CIO pickets.
 Lougshoremen At Work In New York. about 500 long , Shoremen were at work at six piers and hundreds more longshoremen were expected back on the job lat CT today. At Portland, CIO pickets quit three AFL-manned Liberty ships, and workmen, who had refus- ed to pass the picket lines, re- :, sumed delayed repairs to two of the vessels at the former New England Shipbuilding Corp. east yard. AFL seamen began the strike Sept. 5. in protest against a wage Stabilization Board Decision limit ing negotiated wage increases.

The Seafarers International Un- ] ion (AFL) said that all of the 75 AFL vessels were in the process of being ''crewed up and that ap- proximately 5000 men will have returned to work by tonight.

 Although leaders of the indiyid- ual AFL shipping unions have been defylng the CIO strike, John Ow- ems, the Federation's maritime exc cuti9e secretary, promised today that the AFL would respect pickets around vessels under contract to the CIO He said that if the govern ment seized those ships, the AF'L unions would regard that as lock- out and stop work on all piers and ships.
 Trucking Strike Based
 Alcng with the break in the national maritime strike today, partial settlement of the eastern trucking strike appears likely More Detroit auto workers went back to work and ending of the long Allis- Chalmers strike seemed possible. However, the National Fedora lion of Telephone Workers Ind. began asking for higher wages as phone strike broke out in Rich- mond, Ind.

WASHINGTON, Sept. l7.-After testimony by Kenneth B. OHarra If Alaska as to what use he intends to make of Chilkoot Barracks, a nearing on protest against award of the surplus property to him was recessed today so he could employ legal counsel
 The Alaska Cooperative Company, Washington. D. C., bid the same amount as O'Harra, S105,000 for the historic barracks property, and O'Harra was awarded it through a drawing. The Alaska Cooperative saying it is made up of veterans who have the same priority as OHarra, contests the award

 Frozer Estimates
 Five Years Needed To Fill Demond,

Detroit, Jan. l -(UP) = Most Americans will find it difficult to buy a new car in 1946, even though 4,5O0,000 will be produced, Joseph w. Frazer, president of Kaiser Frazer Corporation and Graham Paige Motors Corporation, said to- day.
 "Howevel0 barring major indus trial disputes and materials short ages, the automotive industry will manufacture and sell 30,000, 900 cars during the first 5 years of unrestricted production" Frazer said.
 And, this means that by 1851 virtually every American who wants a new car, as well as many foreign CTS, will be able to buy one.."
 Recent outbreaks of labor strife broke down production estimates in the shops of at least two out of three of the major manufacturers, he said. Once the industry is permitted to operate at high speed, he added, production may be able to reach G. 800 900 vehicles a year.
 Frazer predicted that automobile dealers and distributors will begin to enjoy a series of ten billion dol- lar years" which will eclipse the buying rush that gave retailers a total of S7,800, 100000 business in 194l.
 Citing estimates that about 8,500,- 900 former car owners in this coun- try now are without automobiles, he said there are 9,O00,00O more drivers who are about to junk their cars. Thus, he said, there is an immediate market for nearly 100000 automo- piles as soon as the industry can supply them.

Rubber Mark ToSet Record
 '46 ProsFom Calling
 For 2-3rds Synthetic

New York, Jan, i--(up) --R Record production of rubber was predicted today for the coming year to meet demand that will exceed the pre- war level by 50 per cent or more.
 John L. Collyer. president of The B. r. Goodrich Company. and Herb ert D. Smith, president, United States Rubber Company, said 1946 will be largely devoted to catching up on urgent demands for civilian products.
 Tt is estimated that the nation in 1946 will consume 90O,000 tons of raw rubber, which would be Q new all-time high, and approxi- mately half-again as much as the average consumption in the last few normal pre-war years" Coll yer said. "Of this total, nearly two-thirds, or 600O0O tons. will be 4nan-made rubber, since our esti- mates indicate we cannot count on receiving more than 300,OO0 tons of natural rubber during l946."
 Although there has been much discussion of postwar products stemming from the lessons learned in synthetic rubber, Collyer said, it is not anticipated that any of these will reach sufficient volume in 1946. Automobile tires and tubes are expected to account for their historic share of about 70 per cent of the total volume, he explained, with industrial rubber products, footwear, wire and cable insula- tion and drug sundries following in about that order to make up the remaining 30 per cent.
 Collyer urged that regardless of the outcome of competition between natural and synthetic rubber, the nation maintain production facil- ities for 600,000 tons of synthetic an- nually as a military security meas ure. Beyond that minimum, he said, the free play of ecoromic forces should determine relative uses of the two kinds of rubber.
 Smith said the rubber industry is expected to produce goods in lS46 with a value of $l,500 900, 900, an increase of 66 per cent over the 1889 figure of $900,00O,000.
 Operating at capacity, the indus try is expected to produce more than 80,000,000 units, he said, of which 66,000,000 will be passenger car tires. The previous high passenger car tire output was 50,000,0 900 in l94l.
 Achievement of the 66,000, 900 goal of 1946, which is at the rate of more than two tires a second, will ease the tire shortage, he said, but not mo- ticeably until the second half of 1946.

Cftys Health Record Among Nation $ Best
No Gain in Normal Number of Deaths, Despite Overcrowded Conditions;
 Industrial Safety Record Outstandinr

Tie general health of residents of Waterbury during the year le4b was one of the best in the nation in comparison with statistics of other cities issued by the U. s. De- partment of Health.
 Despite overcrowded conditions in a city which offered nominal rental vacancies, no deaths occurred from diphtheria, influenza, poliomyletis, or scarlet fever.
 According to the records of pr Edward J. Godfrey, health officer. 1945 showing a slight increase over those of the previous year, amount ing to 996, offers no cause for con- cern, according to health author ities, since statistics for previous years indicate that the rate fluctu- ates annually. Tn 194l the mortality rate was l,009. in l942, 1t fell to 976, and in l943 again rose to l,144.
 Safety Measures
 Though 1t is estimated some S0,- 900 people worked in local war fac- tories during the first eight months of this year, and some 10000 were employed in plants since Surrender day, only one industrial accident was recorded. Thorough and care fully-planned safety measures ex- ercised by local factories for the pre- vention of accidents greatly tended to reduce industrial deaths, health authorities state.
 Ten deaths occurred through au- tomobile accidents. Thirty-five local residents died as a result of fire, burns, falls from bed, or on stairs and highly polished floors, as in comparison with 39 the previous year.
 Despite the fact that people en. dured greater emotional stress dur ing the war months of 1945 than during any year since Pearl Harbor, only two more suicides totaling l3, were recorded than in l944.
 While mortality from pneumonia was slashed to ten deaths last year in comparison with 118 in the mid dle 30's due to the discovery of sulpha drugs, deaths from tubercu- losiS remained at the same level with 38 recorded both in 1914 and 1945.
 Health authorities were greatly encouraged to note that diseases of the heart and cancer, leading causes of death in Waterbury and other cities throughout the nation during the past several years, showed a slight decline. Deaths from heart ailments numbered 300 during 1945; and 345 in 1944. Cancer caused the death of 150 residents, in compari- son with 155 in 1944. Up to 1944, 20 more lives were taken by cancer than the previous year, In 1923, 70 cancer deaths were reported while I69 occurred in 1943
 Pneumonia Declines
 Pneumonia, a leading cause of fatalities ever since the city has maintained health records showed the most pronounced decline last year. Up to and including the year
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-01-01

iDS8. when sulpha drugs were first used, pneumonia deaths averaged between 100 and i25 annually. The following year, the successful ad- ministration of sufanilamide re- duced such deaths to mn all-time low of 50. and during the succeeding years the discovery of other sulfa drugs continued to lower pneumonia deaths as follows: 1g40 28; lDaI, 3l; l942, 24; l94S, "A: and l944, 26.
 Waterbury health records also re. veal that the nationwide fight against infantile paralysis has saved many lives in this ctiy, since the in- auguration of the March of Dimes campaign. Though four mild" eases of poliomylitis occurred in 1D45, no deaths were recorded from this dis ease nor were the victims paralyEed because of the successful methods of treatment used at present. Local records reveal 17 deaths occurred from infantile paralysis in 1881, but only 10 deaths resulted from that ill., ness during the l3 years up through 1945.
 Though cases of scarlet fever, chickenpox, whooping cough, and German measles showed gain over 1924 during the past year, health records indicate such eases were considered mild. Only one death from whooping cought was listed under contagious children's diseases Indicating the continued decrease in children's deaths, four children be- tween the ages of one cad five suc- cumbed in l945.
 Improved methods of sanitation, which removed infections, has steadily decreased deaths from scar let fever and typhoid, health officials state while anti-toxins, adminis- tered to school children by doctors and health clinics, have saved thou sands of young lives.
 Pre-Natal Clinics
 Attributable to the fine care given in prenatal clinics, baby clinics, and hospitals is Waterbury's low infant mortality rate which has remained for the past three years at 35 deaths per thousand births. and reduced the number of deaths caused through childbirth, numbering two during the last year.
 Venereal diseases, mounting steadily in most cities throughout the nation, showed marked drop in Waterbury during 1945. Only l95 cases were discovered last year in comparison with 3i9 during le44.
 For the first time in many de- cades, health authorities during the past year listed malaria cases. Eighteen servicemen who had re- turned from tropical war posts suf- fered reoccurrences of the malady.

membership of the parish compris- ing total of more than 5000 souls. Last years, the Sand graduating class of St. Josephs School the number of graduates up to 1927. They are to be found in all profess sions and every walk of life; and to- day their children, in some in stances, their grandchildren, occupy their places in school while they themselves are preparing to take up the work and take over the respon- abilities of their immigrant par ents in the future life of the parish. Perhaps the most eloquent tribute to the spiritual formation imparted by the Sisters of the Holy Ghost is the fact that St. Joseph's School counts among its alumni, nine priests, IT sisters and four religious brothers, members of teaching orders.
 Twenty-six parishioners of St. Jo- seph's Church paid the supreme sacrifice in World War II. Eight hundred graduates of the institution were in the service of their country since Pearl Harbor. On behalf of honorably discharged veterans, Father Valantiejus has already started the ball rolling in organiz- ing the first Catholic War Veterans Lodge in the United States and has already enrolled 60 members.
 Nuns Help Out
 The organizer of the school, the late Father SauruSaitiS, is believed to have dreamed of the Holy Ghost one evening and received the inspir- ation to start the school. Fittingly enough he called on the Sisters of the Holy Ghost the following day, related his story and asked for per- to use four nuns as teach CTS. At that time there were no con- gregations of Lithuanian nuns in the entire country, as there are to- day. The Holy Ghost Sisters at that time were mostly engaged in teach ing music and embroidery, custom they still pursue in addition to teaching. So the school began Janu- ary ', 1904, with 70 pupils registered and soon increased to over 500. When the first World War began the registration scared as high as HOO, but soon declined thereafter as the laws became restricted.
 One of the miraculous things per taining to the school is the fact that In its 40 years existence not a single accident has happened to the chill dren at school. This is remarkable feat considering the fact that in the early stages of the school sessions were held daily in an attic with 100 diligent pupils comprising the class.
 Sister St. Sabine, now in retire nent at the convent at the corner of South Main and East Liberty due to i'll health, taught classes for 38 consecutive years and even to this day gladly takes over whenever substitute is required.
