 In War Mobilization

Chicago, April StPl-Tremendous progress has been made in plans for industrial mobilization in the United states to meet the emergency Of war times. Colonel Hanford MacNidcr, assistant secretary of war. told the national association of manufactur- CTS here today.
 "'The gigantic proportions of the problem can be somewhat appreciat- ed" he said. when you realize that the army alone used some seven hundred thousand odd manufactured articles In the last great conflict. There is no thought In our minds of telling industry how to meet the problem. We do not contemplate making plans for the operation Of industrial concerns. We ask that they make their own arrangements to meet the war time demands"

CONN. OPPOSED ID
 D|VERT|NG WATER
Objects to LesSening Of Flow Of
 Connecticut River

Boston, April s P)-The governor of Connecticut. represented by Caleb M. saville, today outlined to two committees of the Massachusetts legislature tho reasons why the state of Connecticut opposes proposed plans for providing an adequate wa ter supply for metropolitan Boston and Worcester. If the Connecticut authorities have been correctly in- >ormed of these plans, Mir. Saville said, they will result in lessening the quantity of water flowing down the Connecticut river, injuring power de- velopments, industrial operations in- creasing pollution and hampering recreation and navigation.
 While Mir. Saville was setting forth the case of the state of Con necticut. Governor Fuller was in conference with five water supply experts on the Worcester Metropoli- tan Boston problem.
 Mir. Saville held that pollution of the river above the state line by municipal sewage and process water from manufacturing plants of Massachusetts would become more concentrated and would ultimately transform the character of the river into that of an open sewer.
 Power developments at Winsor Locks and Enfield rapids would be greatly damaged he said.
 Process water drawn from the river by Connecticut mills, he claim ed, would be rendered even more unfit than now.
 The securing effect of annual freshets in cleaning out deposits of sewage sludge, principally contrib uted by Massachusetts, he declared would be considerably diminished.
 Navigation he said, would be threatened and perhaps curtailed ms the result of diminished flow and growing sandbars.
 Operation of the proposed con- pensatlng reservoirs, he added might not only be of little advan- tage to riparian ownership so far down the river from the point of application, but might be of poss- ible detriment.
 Possibility of harm to major fish life In the river because of the less ening of the pure water now dilutinp he sewage discharges from up- river cities, he continued, would hc of much importance to citizens Of Connecticut,
 The possibly harmful effects of the withdrawal of pure upland of the lower river for recreation pur- poses he concluded. was a matter fol serious consideration.

 File Request

Dunn, chairman of the board of police commissioners. to- day stated that a claim for the re- ward offered for the capture and conviction of'Gerald Chapman. will in all probability be filed by the New Britain commission for the New Britain police force when the proper time arrives. In his opinion, from information received by the board as to the part taken by the local force in the bandits capture, the claim will be a good one.
 The board of police commissioners has several times talked the mat ter over. but the only action taken was to request Chief of Police Will liam c. Hart to supply the mem bers with all the information pos sible on the work of the local po- licenen in tracing and effecting Chapman's capture, This was given the board by the chief and after a study of 1t the members. according to the chairman, are of the opinion that the local department has a substantial claim to at least part of the rewards offered.
 IL was impossible to state whether all the reward should come to this city or whether only a part of 1t would come here. He could not say either when the petition would be
 filed. because the question has not yet been opened for discussion. II is probable that the mater will be talked over at the next meeting of 1 the police board.
