Atlas Quits Hotel,
 May Be Munitions
 Manufacturer Soon

With the record of a $2O,000 loan by the Bridgeport Trust Co. to Prof. James Atlasi of Bridgeport it was learned to5ay that the local hotel owner is about to transfer his inter ests in Fairfield avenue and elsewhere in Bridgeport to J. B. Morrison of Seattle, Wash, a well known hotel keeper of the Pacific coast, and prob ably will venture into the paths of the munition makers.
 Morrison, who has already reached Bridgeport, has applied for a license transfer to the Hotel Atlas, the license having been resting idle since the withdrawal Of opposition to it's can- cellation by the Pastors association before the county commissioners some months ago.
 Although it is definitely known that James Atlas has recently acquired large sums of money for some pur- pose he maintains absolute silence upon the projects in view.
 ITO say anything at this time," said Atlas today, would defeat the aims I now seek to accomplish
 From sources closely related to the proprietor of the Atlas hotel and baths permanently to retire from ownership or management of the hotel which has long borne his name and that he will seek to manufacture for foreign gov ernments munitions and other SUD- plies if deals now pending are fully completed.
