H. w. Rohl is one man who be-
lieves ''he travels fastest who travels
alone"
Mr.. Rohl does both-in 21-pas-
senger airliners.
That's why, when huge airliner
flew into Washington today, Mr..
Rohl was the only passenger.
Said Mr.. Rohl, good -natured
California -sunburned contractor in
his Cos.
IAN I do is get in plane and
ride"
Mr.. Rohl and his 21-passenger
charter plane habit is familiar on
the West Coast, but this trip took
him further afield.
He chartered a plane near Pueblo,
Colo, at an estimated cost of S2,100
and arrived in Washington Wednes-
day. But last night Mr.. Rohl got
the travel urge again.
Side Jaunt to New York.
He chartered another plane
again 21-passenger job-and flew
to New York, arriving in the early
hours of this morning.
1t was too late to do any gadding
about, if that's what he went for
(some say he thought Washington
was too warm, so he went to the
Waldorf rf-Astoria and took a nap.
Bright and early this morning,
Mr.. Rohl showed up at La Guardia
Field and chartered another plane.
He had an appointment to keep IN
Washington.
That little side trip cost him
around $700 because he actually had
to pay for two round-trips to carry
the planes back to their starting
points.
With him when he enersed from
the plane here today was Miss Rob-

Amused by Reporter.
Despite the fact that Miss Schil-
bach was awakened at 5 am. to
make the Washington trip she was
sufficiently enthusiastic to purchase
a 10-cent boutonniere for her sole
charge, who wore it with some gall
lantry.
Mr.. Rohl appeared highly amused
at the reporters questions, which
he consistently evaded. When one
of the reporters asked him, however,
if he was here to discuss an $8,0OO,-
900 dam he replied that that was
finished business.
He said he had no idea what the
trip would cost him. The bills, he
explained, are sent to his Office in
Los Angeles.

Japanese Gets Command
OF ShonghoiIs Defenses

SHANGHAI, Aug. 9 P.-The
impending withdrawal of British
Army forces from Shanghai will
make Japanese admiral the COM
manding officer of the Shanghai
defense forces, which include the
Ath Regiment of United States
Marines.
Command of these forces, repre-
senting the chief foreign powers in
terested in the complex Shanghai
community, goes to the ranking Of
flcer present. Britain has consist
emily kept major general in
Shanghai at the head of her small
force to insure her the command.
But with Maj. Gen. Frank Simons
gone, the senior will be Rear Ad-
miral Moriji Takeda, commanding
the japanese naval garrison. The
American Marine commander is
Col. Dewitt Peck.
In theory at least, Takeda could
station japanese bluejackets in the
important central area of the Inter-
national Settlement, now patrolled
by the British, and the western
residential area, where thousands
of foreigners live, including Amer

British quarters refused to amplify
the statement or give any hint as

the destination of the troops affected.
A spokesman for the japanese
Embassy said the Japanese were
"very pleased" to hear of the British
decision.

effect upon buying this season.

Work Of Registering
Aliens Speeding-Up
Todays Number To Exceed Yesterdays Mark of 81
Staff Handling Situation More Efficiently

Waterbury's aliens are now being
put through the process Of registra-
ton at the rate of ten to fifteen an
hour, Postmaster Charles A. Babin
said today, as compared with yester-
day, when only three were registered
during the first hour of the project.
The members Of the staff on hand
at the post Office are now better &C
quainted with the problems involved
in the task, and able to do their
work with greater efficiency than
when they first began.
Individual Case
The process, however, is not merely
one of routine, for almost every alien
is an individual case. A great many
of those who appear at the civil
service room have to be treasured re-
peatedly that there is no disgrace in
being fingerprinted, and that no dis
elimination against aliens as such is
contemplated by the government.
Some of them seem to feel that the

PARK WATERCADE
Arrangements
Made For Children To

Brooklyn News

The Chase Park Watercade will
be held tomorrow and Friday at 8
p. m. at the Chase Park Pool.
Thursday evening will be for chill
dren only and Friday will be for
adults only. This is to avoid re-
pitition of the congestion at last
years show.
Approximately "a swimmers will
take part in the show, which will in
clude a diving exhibition and sew
eral comedy acts.
A twelve foot tower has been
erected by the park department, for
the diving acts. A platform has also
been built to mount the colored flood
lights which will be used in the
show. The w. P. A. orchestra will
provide the music for the Aqua
dulles and Aquabelles who will swim
in colorful formation of rhythmical
symmetry.
In spite of the fact that rehearsals
have been handicapped by the I'M
seasonable cold weather; the Wa
tercade promises to eclipse last
years success. The show will be
directed by Joseph Brennan. Admis-
sion will be free.
Rehearsal Tonight
There will be an important re-
hearsal of the Lithuanian Chamber
of Commerce Radio Chorus this eve
ming at z o'clock. All members are
urged to attend to prepare for the
Lithuanian Independent Political
clubs picnic, Sunday, at Lithuanian
Park, Lakewood. The picnic will be
held right after the regular Sunday
afternoon over WATR. Tonight's
rehearsal will be held at the Legion

mere act of having their finger
prints taken stamps them as GRIM
inals. A few arrive at the registra-
ton headquarters with a belligerent
attitude, and have to be Gained down
by William j. Phelan and his assist
ants. Most of them. however, are
merely a little anxious and very
willing to cooperate.
A total of "a were registered yes
terday, and indications are that more
than that will be handled today. Mr..
Phelan pointed out that from II
o'clock until double staff is on
duty in the civil service rooms, so
that candidates can be taken care of
especially quickly during these hours.
He reported that it would have been
perfectly possible to take care of as
many as 120 aliens yesterday if they
had appeared. The number of those
who showed up at the post office yes
terday was least between 3 and 7
o'clock; when the rush was expected
to take place.
Rush Expected
It is thought probable that there
will be more aliens appearing the
latter part of this week, when those
who have called at the post Office to
get their preliminary forms return
to complete the process of registra-
ton. These AR-1 forms are being
given out at room 203, and also
downstairs, at room 107.
The fact that the local factories
are cooperating in the program is
saving the post Office staff great
deal of work, according to the post
master. Preliminary forms have been
sent to the factories, and distributed
among their alien workers to be filled
out. This means that when the Off
Gals in charge of the local project
send out their flying squads to the
various factories to register the
aliens, the process will consist merely
Of a couple of questions, fingerprint-
ing, and the administration of the
oath. A great deal Of time and effort
will thus be saved.

SMITH OPPOSES
DRAFT LIMITS
Army's Plans To Be Dis
rupted By Any Restric-
ton In Numbers

Especial to The DemOcrat)
Washington D. c., August %. =
Congressman j. Joseph Smith, OF
Waterbury, today declared himself
against the fixing of any limit on
the number of men who may be
drafted for military training under
the selective service act, now being
debated by Congress. He expressed
the opinion that the act adopted by
Congress should not set a maximum
number of men, since that could be
done, if desired, by limiting the APP
preparations provided for training OF
those conscripted.
The Army staff, he said, is already
counting on training more than l.
100000 men, and that the 900, 900
limit approved by the Senate yester-
day would force drastic changes IN
present plans. Furthermore, he
argued, the proposed restriction
would make it impossible for the
army to call back draftees for brief
periods of additional training.
Congressman Smith is also OPP
posed to the proposal tnat tne act
limit the use of conscripted men
to the United States and its terri
tories. This, he said, would hamper
the drawing-up of plans for military
strategy. -.
If the number of draftees should
be limited to 100000, Congressman
Smith, it would mean unnecessary
delay in the event ia sudden emer-
gency, since it would require addi-
tional action by Congress to allow
the drafting of additional man
power.

DR.. Thomas j. Condor, superin-
tendent of schools, today confirmed
the report that several rooms have
been closed and their teachers trans
ferred because of the declining
registration. The superintendent said
that the enrolment this year will
probably decline by 400 pupils, a
decline which has followed steady
course for the past decade.
Also announcing that new en-
phasis will be laid on civics and
citizenship courses this year, DR..
Condor refused 70 disclose the
names of the transferred teachers
and the schools in which the rooms
were closed, pointing out that the
school board will be informed Tues
day night.
The new emphasis on the patriotic
subjects is in line with the trend
throughout the land, DR.. Condor
said, adding that courses in the
grade and high schools will be re-
vised to conform to the movement,
designed to induce American boys
and girls with love for the Ameri-
can way of life.
