BRITISH REPORT | 2 NEW METALS
Both Will RevOlutiOnize Modern Warfare Claim
 Inventors

London (UP)-The perfection Of two new metals which will revolu- tionize modern warfare, and indus try in peace times, has just been reported. The invenators are Brit iSh.
 Bullets made from one of the metals, both of which contain chromium steel and aluminium.
 wulod pirce the covering of a tank, will make drills that never wear out, and metal plating that
 won't wear off.
 A rock drill merely tipped with
 the metal will never lose its sharp ness, and will bore the rock twice
 as quickly as drills now in use, 1t is claimed. The chromium con tent gives the metal a bright ap- pearance. and makes it invaluable for plating purposes.
 The second metal will have a revolutionary effect on airplane
 design and construction. It is re- puted to be lighter than aluminium
 and stronger than steel. The use of this metal in airplane frame
 work would increase considerably the machines speed as well as
 rendering it much safer.
 With research and experimental work on the two discoveries com
 plete, it is estimated that they will
 be ready for commercial produc-
 tion within two months.

WOMEN WORKERS
 UNDER CWA PLAN
An Effort Being Made to Care For as Many as
 Possible

Women being given work in this city through the CWA relief fund are counted as part of the regular CWA quota, 1t was explained this morning by William M. Harris. To- cal administrator. The 130 women employed in the two sewing room projects are considered CWA work CTS but are paid "throug hthe Mu- tual Aid, which is later reimbursed by the federal relief administra- ton.
 Due to the great difficulty in finding approved projects for women, it was necessary to enlarge the sewing room projects. One group is engaged in knitting sweat CTS and the like, while another sewing room project is for the making of dresses and other ap- parel. The clothing is then given out to the citys needy.
 The women's jobs come under a special heading as CWA relief work. The relief aspect makes it necessary for the payment of the women with Mutual Aid checks, which the FRA later meets with a remittance to the Mutual Aid fund.

NO EVIDENCE TO
 CONVICT PRISONERS
Young Men Set at Liberty After Being Held Five
 Days

After spending five days, inc1ud- ing Christmas, in the custody of the police, Thomas Doolan, 22, of 35 Washington street and Francis Gill martin, 23, of 77 Railroad Hill
 street, were rleased today. The po- lice were unable to obtain suffi- cient evidence to complete the
 charges against them. They were
 oroginally charged with tampering
 with an automobile and with theft
 of two robes from a parked car.
 The owner of the machine and the
 robes disappeared before the po- lice could abtain his name or reg istration markers. He failed to ap- pear in response to a public notice that his testimony would be respon- sible in the prosecution of the case. The arrest of the two took place
 early last Saturday morning on
 Railroad Hill street. Patrolman Alfred Overton observed them as
 they worked about a car and finally
 walked off with two robes. The absence of the owner and no evil dence to identify the robes as stolen property led to the case be- ing nolled.
 George Wetstone, S5, of High street, Thomaston, failed to appear in court today to answer to the
 charge of operating an autom obile
 while under the, influence of liquor. He was arrester> on Nov 15. The
 only explanation of his failure to appear today was given that he had
 been "snowed in" or delayed by traffic conditions between Water
 bury and Thomaston. Srgeant Johr r. Brickel was informed by tho
 court to notify him to return or
 January 11th.
 The case of Samuel Leze, A, o1 565 East Main street was continued one day. He was charged with in- | toxicatinn and breach of the peace

Hartford Officials
 Say Little Further
 Grace Will Be Made
Majority Are For Failure to Pay Last Instalment of 1882 Levies- Internal Revenue Collector
 Believes Number Largest in Many Years

An unusually large number oi warrants for income tax delin- quents are being received in Wa terbury. said Internal Revenue Col lector James McGrath this morn- ing. Most of the warrants are for failure to pay the last quarter in- stallment of 1892 taxes.
 Each one of the delinquents must be pressed for payment, ac- cording to government rules, and if the sum due is not paid up the collector must attach the pay or property of those behind. The Hartford office has been lenient in pressing the claims thus far, but have signified that little fur ther grace will be given.
 Collector McGrath stated today that the number of delinquents was one of the largest in his years of service with the internal rev. enue office in this city. The great total of persons behind in the same quarter, September to December of 1882, was also decidedly unusual in his experience.
 The warrants have been arriving at the local office every day for the past several weeks. It is not unusual to have five or six come in the same mail. Unless the taxes due are paid very soon, Collector McGrath will be forced to use legal measures to have the debts clear ed up.
 Beginning Tuesday hundreds of Waterburians will start to receive their income tax blanks from the United States internal revenue bureau. This New Years present

In conjunction with the drive, Gay Price. processing tax collector, plans check-up on the processing tax records of the firms involved.
 The factory records of the year will be studied in complete detail, with a special survey of the amount of tobacco bought and used. The internal revenue collectors will in- vestigate bonding records, packing and labelling, stamping and regis tration.
 All tobacco manufacturers hav- ing government licenses in this district must be examined, even though some of them have ceased operating.

Waterbury during the past IS or 20 hours went through one of the worst wintry blasts in many years. With tehrmometers in many sec- tions of the city dropping from eight to 13 degrees below zero, the city was faced with the most seri- ous cold it has experienced in a long time with the results that there was much suffering. At noon today the mercury had climbed slightly in the thermometer but thN weather man promised even celder weather for tonight and tonaorrow.
 In protected places thermome- ters registered eight degrees be- low zero. In places where they were exposed they went as low as 13 degrees below. At noon the mercury had climbed a few de- grees but the cold was so intense that the slight increase in warmth was hardly noticeable.
 Because of the cold the work of clearing the streets of the city of snow was considerably slowed up. Men worked outdoors with very great difficulty.
 60 severe was the cold today in the outlying sections that William M. Harris, local CWA administra- tor, ordered the men working un- der the CWA off their jobs and to their homes. They will be al

statement ever words spun, when the president of the United States said to this nation and to the world: I \ MW
 'This agreement is part of a na- tion-wide plan to raise wages, cre- ate employment, and thus increase purchasing power and restore bus mess. That plan depends wholly on united action by all employers. For this reason I ask you, as an employer, to do your part by sign- ing.
 If it turns out that the general agreement bears unfairly on any group of employers they can have that strengthened out by presenting promptly their proposed code of fair competition"
 In the five months and seven days since these words were ut tered, this country has been stirred to its foundation, and its rumblings have echoed throughout the world.
 America was awakening from a profound slumber. Americans gasped and the world heard. Since then a great many people, business, professional, labor and the most humble of us have found com- mon ground.
 True, at times, there has been misunderstanding, fairs of strife, but, thank God, short-lived, as we began to see eye to eye and under stand.
 So the force was gathered by hundreds, by thousands, and the roll was raised to millions into a vast army of men and women, who tramped from door to door, from meeting to meeting, preaching: A New Deal.
 MIRA is the hallmark of patriot ism. To be a member is an honor.
 As president of the Waterbury Chamber of Commerce, general of the presidents emergency re-em- ployment campaign of Waterbury, and chairman of the Waterbury MIRA compliance board, take this opportunity to express heartfelt appreciation to those 17S persons who campaigned, and to those who, as members of the board, stood so nobly by.

will not, it is believed. be well comed heartily by those liable for the tax but the money must be paid, nevertheless.
 The blanks will be sent out from the offices of Revenue Chief Dr E.. G. Dolan in Hartford and will number approximately 135,00O for the state of Connecticut as a whole. The income tax must be paid not later than March 5th. next, according to the department rul- ings.
 According to the local revenue office, the exemptions for 1894 are the same as those for the 1883 re- turns. Single men who have no dependents must file if their net incomes were $1,000 or more.
 Married men are liable for the tax if their net incomes were $2,- 500 or if their gross incomes were $5,000 or more. Single men who are the heads of families must file or their gross incomes were 5000, whether or not they pay the tax.
 With the issuance of the new in- come tax blanks the local office of the internal revenue depart ment is expected to become quite busy as hundreds call upon the To- cal collector for advice on filling out their returns before sending in their checks. Nes
 In view of the MIRA activities and the subsequent partial return of cuts in pays to thousands of em- ployes, it will be interesting to see, it was said today, how much the income tax payments for Connecti- cut will increase this year.

Convinced that Waterbury's CWA quota should be considerably higher than it is at present, Will liam M. Harris, local administrator, plans to make every effort to se- cure a further grant of CWA jobs for this city. He made a trip to Hartford this afternoon to confer with state board officials and to present the local situation for con- sideration.
 Indications that the state CWA board is contemplating an increase for Waterbury are seen in latest developments at the state employ ment bureau in the armory, which is cooperating with the local re- employment administration. Direc- tor Arthur J. Maloney has submit ted to Hartford a special summary of placements made from the dis trict office and the number still registered and hoping for employ

ment. The figures were submitted at the request of officials at Hart ford. The report shows that even with Waterbury's quota of 2,OOO already filled, there are still more than 5000 names on registration blanks.
 The local quota, it is pointed out by many here, obviously suffers by comparison with those of other cities. New Britain, a city con- siderably smaller, has 2,100 CWA jobs against Waterbury's 2,000. Hartford, with only several hum dred jobs given out as yet, has a quota of 3,560. New Haven's is 3,463, while Bridgeport's is 3,283.
 There are still enough local pro- jects to employ any grant that the state CWA board might make here. Several hundred more could be placed on projects already in oper- ation without even opening new enterDrises

 All plumbing concerns did a huge business today. They were swamped with calls from all parts of the city due to frozen pipes. Needless to say. all auto service stations and garages were deluged with disabled cars and indoor, heated parking places were at a premium. Tire chains were in great demand and there were reports that some dealers in the chains took advantage of the demand to increase their prices. Anti-freeze solutions for auto radiators sold in large volumes.
 Motor traffic today, however, was at a minimum in the city as Hundreds of car owners left their vehicles home rather than brave the zero weather. As result troll ley and bus service throughout Waterbury was taxed to capacity. The local welfare department, the Mutual Aid and other char Eitable institutions in the city were very busy today checking on those
 under their care so as to make
 sure that they were supplied with
 enough fuel to keep them warm. Because of the severe cold snap,
 business in the local stores was light today. Everybody who could remained at home today rather than face the cold. Coal and fuel oil dealers were kept on the go answering calls from customers. The zero weather caused the
 lakes in and near Waterbury to freeze many inches thicker than
 usual. This means that as soon
 as possible the ice companies will
 get busy for cutting and storing.
