Veteran Offenders ''InAgain''

Long records studded the city court session today.
 John Looney, 57, of Waterbury, charged with intoxication, was given a 1O-day sentence to the workhouse. LOoney was arrested 85 times since 1915 and recently finished a 30-day sentence in New Haven.
 Max Peterson, 31, colored, of Park avenue, New Haven, charged ith shopIifting, was sent to jail for 30 days. He was arrested yes- terday, accused of stealing ' nightgowns at the F. W. Grant Company on Bank street.
 Petroson's record, received by telstype from New Haven, showed he was arrested 24 times since 1883. Shoplifting was apparently a new enterprise, his recrod cov- ering only theft, breach of the peace, and assault charges.

Battle Of Britain
Present Bombardment Most Devastating in His tory = Advent of Bad Weather Seen as Biggest Factor in Turning
 Tide of Battle
By DREW PEARSON and ROBERT S. ALLEN. (Co-Authors of The Washington Merry Go Round

planes attacking London has been decreasing. In other words, the Nazis can afford to lose far more planes than the British, and Hit ler'S overwhelming air preponder- ance is beginning to tell.
 (5) Most important factor in the Battle of Britain is Britain's ability to hold out until the bad weather sets in around the end of September. If the British can stand up for twenty days more under the most gruesome air bom- bardment in history-in which the Germans have not yet used their most devastating of all weapons, gas-then they will get a breath ing spell which may turn the tide of battle.
 Upon this factor of the weather over the English Channel three thousand miles away may also de- pend the course of events in the Western Hemisphere.

Commissioner
 the International Leader of the Army, General George L. Carpenter, for the successful administration of his territory.
 Native of Lowell, Mass.
 He was born in Lowell, Mass, the ninth generation of John Damon, from England, who settled in Read ing, Mass, in 1633. To aid his widowed mother and family, he be- gan at a very early age to sell fruit and newspapers, and at 16, when the call to Salvation Army service came, he was already proprietor of a thriving grocery store. He entered training and was commissioned a lieutenant on September g, 1890, his first assignment being in Woburn, Mass.
 Since then, Commissioner Damon has engaged in Army activities throughout the eastern, southern, and central states, with more than half the time spent at the New York city headquarters in various executive capacities. For seventeen of these years, as field secretary, he directed the Army'S field operations and spiritual activities. In 1924 he became chief secretary and sec- ond in command of the Army's Gen. tral Territory with headquarters in Chicago. Six years later he was pro noted to lieutenant commissioner and appointed to the command Of the Southern Territory with offices at Atlanta, Ga. During the next five years Commissioner Damon cov- cred the Southland many times, con- solidating and extending the Army's work. especially in the establishment of young peoples councils where youth by the thousands were reached, of whom many pledged themselves to the Salvation Army service as officers.
 Commissioner Damon has served the whole of his career in the United States, although he has | travelled in other countries, repre- senting the Salvation Army in many capacities. He was a member of the High Council which in 1884 elected General Evangeline Booth to the international Command and of the High Council which elected General George l.. Carpenter to the supreme command in November, 1939.
 Million Miles!
 The commissioner diary, kep' during nearly all of his officershlp reveals that he has travelled more than a million miles on Salvation Army service, addressing thousand of audiences of various kinds. AS ar organizer and administrator, th' commissioner hold high place II the Salvation Army.
 He has specialized in and is al authority on many phases of worl for the needy and unfortunate. Hi chief interest is the development o youth, and in this activity he ha played a large part in bringing abou the Arny's present emphasis ol character building programs 10 children and young people.
 Commissioner Damon was marie to Captain Annie Barrow, iron Kendall, England. in 1895. For tn past five years they have resided i4b Claremont avenue, Mount Yer non, N. Y. Their daughter. MT Adjutant Lyell Rader of Newark, ! J.. is also an officer of the salya ton Army.

 deal hereabouts concerns the vio- latiOn of International law in the swap. The best result of the trade will be the type of action taken by Germany against the U. s. A. If Brother Hitler feels confident, he may complain bitterly; if he is too busy with Britain, we'll hear little from The Reich.
 When these international ar- guments come up, we hear the old hands waxing vocal in their re- grets that Henry Garfield isn't around to offer his opinion. People listened when Henry talk ed because he spoke from experi- ence. That gentlman had been around. He went from East Hill to Bagdad, and he was a long time getting back. He saw Europe and Asia from grandstand seat and he rode the cushions. Henry worked as a foreign diplomat but he was easier with our folks than an old shoe. He fitted. He enjoyed life. He was wiser than corn crib full of hoot-owls. No matter who you were, CT where you came from, Henry Garfield had been to your home town ard he could tell all about the place, once you got him started. He was a little slow in opening up but once he started making noises, a world of horse sense rolled from his lips.
 Henry Garfield used to examine all our school teachers, before the State went high hat and adopted progressive education" He would ask girl a few questions, grin friendly like, and write out an assignment slip for Mapping, Bull let Hill, or Pootatuck. Every girl that Henry selected made the grade. Every pupil that graduat- ed from a school taught by one of Canfield's teachers could enter Yale or Harvard easier than a good Republican gets a job at the State Training School for Mental Detectives. You could tell a kid educated under the Garfield sys- tenn just by the twinkle in his eye. Some of the leading citizens of Southbury have him to thank for their success.
 Henry Garfield had two faults, according to what we hear. He always smoked cigarettes and that made him unsafe around barn. And he always went barefoot, ex- cept on state occasions, until about Thanksgiving time. That made him unpopular with some of the members of the Ladies Aid.
 A shocking example of our fail ure to adequately provide for a real national defense came to our attention the other evening when we saw & lance jack wearing the uniform of the U. S. Marine Corps standing hopefully beside the road seeking a lift. We asked him "where away" "New Haven. I guess" came the reply. Well, where do you want to go eventually?" we queried. Massachusetts," said the leather neck.
 Marines are supposed to know something about navigation, il they're marines. This lad was aS lost as a city guy on a coon hunt He thought New Haven was neal Massachusetts. The U. S. Marine Corps should be taking lessons 1T geography from man like Henry Garfield. And no man should bt promoted to lance corporal unti he can read a map.

On January IL at Flint Michigan the Is millonth
manufactured by General Motors rolled off the as
sembly line.
1t was memorable occasion in the motor ind Istry
particular triumph for the manufacturer and for
thousands of employees.
1t was an achievement, too for the advertising in
dustry which played such big part the disposal not
only of the units but of the several used cars which
dealers handle in connection with most new car sales
Radio billboard direct by mail and magazines as
well as various advertising gimcracks have shared the
car manufacturers advertising budgets with the news
papers at various times but it is significant that no sue
cessful car maker selling to the great American public
has failed to spend great part Of his budget with the
local newspapers supporting the dealers at the point of
selling.
The great motor car manufacturers spend small
amount for local newspaper space in connection with
each car SALE This is not accessory which you must
buy to fully enjoy car is of the very import
ant factors in the growth of the industry growth
which makes it possible for you to car for several

At Portsmouth, the Chief Execu-
tive checked up on a $55,0000 900
building and reconditioning pro-
gram, now going at top speed at
the Navys main submarine and
electrical fixtures manufacturing
plant.
Men standing in a shower Of
bright sparks kept right on cutting
steel plates with acetylene torches
as the President paused to watch
them.
At Portsmouth, too, was the
submarine Sailfish, formerly the
Squalus, which took 26 men to
their deaths on a dive of the
New Hampshire coast in 1889. She
is back in service, and Mr.. Roose-
velt had a look at her dull black
hull and superstructure.
He learned that the yard, we'll
past its World War peak, had
$3.50 men on the job, some on night
shifts. Three submarines now on
shipways will slide into the water
in September, November and Feb
ruary.
Three undersea craft are being
reconditioned and the materials
are on hand for three more. Plans
are ready for two additional sub

gram to expand naval facilities.
On his tour of the yard, Mr..
Roosevelt showed an interest in a
rope-making plant. He grinned
when employees at several shops
sent up boisterous cheers.
His route took him past a fotilla
of reconditioned four stacker de-
stroyers built in World War days,
the cruiser Vincennes, and a group
OF new destroyers, all with the
crews manning the rails.
Just before leaving the yard for
the Watertown Arsenal, the Presi-
dent stopped and let photographers
snap pictures with the Constitu-
ton as background, a presiden-
tial pennant fluttering from her
mainmast.
Col. Ronald Case. commanding Of
1cer, showed the President through
the arsenal. The maneuverability of
a new 90-millimeter anti-aircraft
gun, developed over the last three
years, was demonstrated for the
Chief Executive.
He was told it had a horizontal
range of 10000 yards and ver-
tical range of $1,000 yards. A 81
millimeter gun also was wheeled
out for inspection.
Officers said about $500 men were
employed at the arsenal, which be-
gan operating today on a six-day
week, and that considerable diff
Guilty was being experienced in OBJ
tanning sufficient skilled workmen.
Driving through the "sea coast"
shop at the arsenal, the Chief Ex-
ecutive saw gigantic machinery,
huge cranes and work in progress
on carriages for 8inch railway guns
and on 16-inch coast artillery rifles.
Gun barrels of assorted sizes be-
ing turned and bored on lathes were
on view in the machine shon.
