BOARD TO REMOVE
 TRAFFIC HAZARDS
Safety Isles, FloOdlight Is Approved for West Main
 Street; Changes

Approval of the city plan commis- sion's proposal for the erection of safety aisles and floodlights on West Main street, from the Green to Will low street, was voted by the board of public works last night. The elimination of traffic hazards in the area is sought. .
 The board directed the street de- partment to round off corners at the west end of the Green and to cut away some land at the Soldiers monument parklet. The park board had already given its permission for this work.
 The plan commissions proposal was also submitted to the police board yesterday, so that members could be familiar with details of the plan should they believe changes in traffic regulations needed on West Main street.
 Lights of 1000 watts each will be placed on poles 22 feet high along the safety isles. The cost of the work, estimated to be several thou sand dollars, will come from a bal ance in the plan commissions ap- propriation for the year.
 Supt. of Streets Herbert Scott Smith reported that repairs have been completed to the two Wash ington avenue bridges and on the Eagle street bridge.
 It was voted to ask permission from the aldermen to hold hearings on the layout and grade of Peach Orchard road, from Hamilton ave- nue road.
 Referred to committees for study were request by Max Traurig for installation of a storm water drain near the intersection of Stephan lane and Cooke street, a complaint that surface water is damaging property of Mrs. Charles DeBisschop on Stillson road, and complaint by Terrence Murphy that a privately installed main on Ferndale avenue is so near the surface that 1t will freeze during the winter.

Capacity Held Far Ahead of Possible Enemy Countries
BY WILLIS THORNTON NEA Service stan Correspondent

Cleveland. Nov. 7-The metal in- dustries of the United States can produce the steady sinews of war faster, better, and in greater quan- tity than in 1917-18.
 The real worry is that production this time will be so tremendous that a sudden halt when danger has passed might bring depression proportionately deeper than that of 1920-21.
 James Presley Gill, president of the American Society for Metals, has just been in close touch with the cream of the countrys metal lurgical men, assembled at the National Metal Congress in Cleve- land, and there is quiet pride in his eyes as he says, "No country even compares with our own in the amount or quality of our metal products. If a tight wall were built around the United States, we could still do pretty good job of defend- ing ourselves with the metallic re- sources we have, especially those of the hemisphere. If all Europe were united under a single leadership the whole areas could not equal the production of the United States" U. S. PRODUCTION
 ASTOUNDS FOREIGNERS
 The difference between today's preparedness effort and that of 1917 is tremendous. Gill points to some of the differences. Then, automo- bile-line production. was rare in the rest of the metal industry. Today 1t is the regular thing. Everything is made by machine, and machines can usually be adapted to produce armament. The scientist has replac- ed the artisan in the shop. and uniform high quality is now posSi- ble in vast quantity.
 This always astonishes foreign visitors to American steel plants, Gill notes. They can make just as good steel, in small hand-supervised quantities But they can't produce quality material on a mass basis. WV Cdll, 10 IGSW AlO P1OtCOoD no product, no quality of product abroad which we cannot equal or surpass here.
 Close association among metal men as in the congress recently closed, and between them and army ordnance officers did not exist in 1915. And pre-surveys and educa- tional orders from the army give a head-Start over 1917, when every thing had to be started from scratch. Steel productive capacity Is 1l.89o above that of 1929, and ac- tual production exceeds the 1929 quantity.
 MANGANESE ALL
 OVER THE PLACE
 So much for production. Raw ma terials?
 There are two classes of stra- tegic materials" Gill classified. Those that we haven't got, like tin, and those that we have but do not produce because somebody else produces them cheaper like

WORK OF POLICE
 EVOKE COMMENTS
Letter of Praise Received From Governor Baldwin
 for Services

A plan to erect Q floodlight at North Main and West Main streets, was brought up at the meeting of the police board yesterday. This traffic light would be similar to the one at Phoenix avenue at a charge of $l2.25 a month as reported by the Connecticut Light and Power Company. The company would erect the pole with the light. The charge was believed to be high and it was referred to the traffic committee.
 Letters were read by the police board lauding the splendid work done by the police department. One was received from Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin on the services rendered by the department when the Wen dell L. Willkie's motorcade was in the city. A letter from the board of education was received commend ing the cooperation of the police de- partment in combating vandalism on school property. A resident of Bristol, wrote the board of the courtesy received from Traffic Pa- trolman John Palmatier in finding a parking space.
 An application for appointment as a Supernumerary was received and filed from Frank Fontano.

U. s. Metal Industries Better Prepared Than In 1917-18
Leaders Believe Real Worry May Come After Crisis

| for instance, if we chose to conserve and reclaim 1t; rubber, if we made full use of retaining processes and economy of use. Then there are sub stitute processes. Cans might be stlver-plated just as effectively as tin-plated and I can imagine cir- cumstances under which 1t might be cheaper"
 Molybdenum can be made to re- place tungsten. Cuban manganese mines, once abandoned as lnprof- itable, are working full blast. A U. s. plant for smelling of Be- livian tin concentrates is on the way. In stainless steel and allini- mum alloys the United States leads the world.
 NATION KEEPS PACE
 TECHNOLOGICALLY
 Research is, of course, not be- ing neglected by countries at war, and Germany is no doubt doing her share. But there is little chance of the United States falling behind technologically, Gill believes.
 For every metals research man at work in Germany there are five in the United States, he estimates, and our men are just as skilled. The odds are in our favor.
 No power on earth, Gill believes, can cut off the United States from the raw metals, the productive ca- pacity, the skilled labor, the re- search and technical knowledge needed to create the metallic sinews of modern war.
