INCOME RETURNS
 ARE FILED SLOWLY
ThreeFiths Of City Still to Be
 Heard From

With only two more days in which to file income tax reports. three- flfths of the city has not yet been heard from, according to Stanley Gierymski. deputy internal revenue collector. Not only are there sev- eral thousand people in the city who stand in danger of being penalized by not getting their reports in on time, but many who are thought to have sent their checks or money or ders to the Hartford internal rev. enue office are in danger of losing their remittance. 1t Is said.
 Payments are supposed to be made in New Britain by New Brit ain people. and when money or ders are sent to Hartford they only add to the general confusion. The Hartford headquarters Is said to be flooded with all sorts of communi- cations and reports and 1t is almost impossible to connect the money or ders received with the right persons.
 New Britain has about 5000 peo- pie who are required to file income tax return blanks. Of these 5000 only 1000 have reported up to date. Tomorrow the Chamber of Com merce headquarters where returns are made will be open until p. m., and Monday, which is the last. day to make returns. 1t will be open un- til 2 p. m.
 Many persons who make returns but fail to leave their cash remit tances at the local office, stand in danger of losing their remittance.
 After Monday all who have not filed their report will face a 25 per cent penalty.

The demands Of naval aviation alone
require an increase in the number
of appointees to the Naval Academy,
Rear Admiral w. r. Shoemaker. cniel
Of the Bureau Of Navigation. said to-
day in his annual report to Secretary
Wilbur.
Admiral Shoemaker urged that the
present allotment of three appointees
to each Representative and Senator
be increased to at least four, Whlch
he estimated would make available
between 700 and $50 officers for naVa !
aviation, while the training OF an
equal number of enlisted men as
pilots would bring the total estimated
by the Bureau of Aeronautics to be
necessary for carrying out its pro-
gram.
Admiral Shoemaker does not believe
in naval aviators remaining perma-
nently with that branch Of the serv-
ice, but holds they should be assigned
to other duties from time to time, as
the aviation problem technically as
to the knowledge required Is no more
specialized than the operation Of any
other type, and is even less than the
requirement in some of the technical
branches of the line in which special
ization is not necessary now.
