Railway Station damned With Relatives, Friends
 of New Draftees
ROARING ''HURRAHS"
 AS TRAIN PULLED OUT
Most Stirring Send-Off Any Quota Has Received
 Since First Went Away

Drizzling rain failed to dampen enthusiasm as a throng that jammed the rail road station bade farewell this morning to the, 83 young men who made up the largest Waterbury group yet called for army training under the Selective Service act. Sobs were stifled and smiles broke through tears momentarily as the crowd, estimated by Police Captain William Duggan at 1,500, gave three roaring "hurrahs' for the inductees as their train be- gan to pull out of the station.
 It was the most stirring send-off given any group of inductees since the first quota left here in Novem- Der. The Veterans Council was represented by more than score of members, wearing the hats of their respective organizations. The crowd of relatives and friends filled every inch of space inside the station and overflowed to the platform and the street as Mayor Vincent A. Scully gave the city's official farewell to the youths. The mayor, introduced by Francis w. Orencole, president of the Veterans Council, told the lads that Waterbury was proud of them. He urged them to write often, and he assured mothers and fathers that the inductees would be well cared for at the army camps. The WPA band was on hand, playing martial airs during the ceremonies.
 Amazed At Crowd
 Authorities were amazed at the size of the crowd that had gathered at the station when the selectees arrived there after assembling at the city hall shortly after ? o'clock. While the band played, the young men said goodbye to those who had come to see them off. They fought hard to keep their eyes dry and their lips steady but tears trickled down the cheeks of more than one youth while mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, and sweethearts wept unashamedly.
 AS the mayor concluded his brief talk, the inductees were ordered to their special coach. As they paused for last embraces and farewells. Ad- jutant Hugo Wiberg of the Salvation Army and several aides gave them each a bag containing a flashlight and candy"

Brief official dispatches told mil- itary authorities here that Royal Air Force planes, bombing and ma chine gunning roads and village strong points, and the Royal Navy, it's units steaming along the coast hurling shells into the fleeing Ital- ians, had aided the army of the Nile in it's last stage toward Ben- ghazi.
 So quickly had come the fall of Benghazi that authorities here were =tonished at the news announcing it.
 At Tremendous Pace Our forces must have advanced at tremendous pace" spokesman said. Only Wednesday they were at Barce, 60 miles away. But it had been evident for the last two days that the Italians had abandoned their tactics of putting themselves i'll fortified towns and awaiting cap l ture. Instead they preferred to re- treat and live to fight another 6Ay. That started at BazUe There; EEe | learn, our men collected groups of 800 and 1000 prisoners who had been left behind"
 In all, the British Empire forces had advanced about 500 miles from their bases in Egypt in 60 days and had taken about 10000 prisoners and five strongly fortified towns. They had fought through half a dozen sand storms.
 Eighty miles from the frontier, the British had held a line at Marsah Matruh. They had felt out the Ital- ian strength at Sidi Barrani DeceIn- Der g and in the 50 days since then they had driven another 37O air line miles to Benghazi.
 Pursuit Is Undertaken It was up to Gen. Sir Archibald 1 Wavell, commander in chief in the middle east, whether the British empire forces continued to pursue the broken army of Italy or re- mained to consolidate it's gains. Authorities here refused to spec ulate. But they emphasized the im- portance of the capture of Beng hazi, including a valuable naval and air base. Benghazi's fall meant that the British Navy's hold on the eastern Mediterranean was inn mensely strengthened and that from it's excellent airport, British planes could take of to bomb Sicily, only 4S5 miles away, and southern Italy.
 The Axis had been thrown back TOO miles from Alexandria, 800 miles from Suez so that an effective bombing campaign against the British Navy in the eastern Medit- terranean from African bases was no longer possible. The Royal Aid Force was in better position to fight German or Italian planes which try to bomb the fleet. It meant that Italy would find it almost iri1- possible to reinforce the remnants | of its north African army.
 All Tripolitania, the remaining part of Libya, was at the mercy 0k the army of the Nile, apparently. i Hitler's sole remaining hope C shaking the British grip in the east- (Continued on Page D

CROP LOSS AVOIDABLE
SAYS AAA CHAIRMAN

Nature may answer current pro-
tests against the 1941 wheat mar
keting quota program with a lean
crop in 1912, it was suggested to-
day by Frank L. Carr, chairman Of
the Morgan County Agricultural
Conservation Committee.
''While the Ever-Normal Granary
is full and the nation is assured Of
adequate wheat in 1912" Mr.. Carr
said, "the wheat crops of individual
farmers may be damaged or Destroy
ed by elements beyond the farmers
control, such as winterkill, hail,
drought, and insect infestation''
Farmers can easily avoid the eco
nomic disaster that usually follows
the loss of wheat crop by taking
advantage of wheat crop insur-
ance," Mr. Carr stated "The gov
ernment is willing to assume IS
percent of the risk of growing
wheat on next years crop through
the wheat insurance program"
Wheat insurance premiums are
determined in terms of bushels Of
wheat, so the actual cash value Of
the crop determines the value of the
insurance.
The Federal Crop Insurance pro-
gram was designed specifically to
alleviate and to lessen the effects Of
croD failure Aim of the program
is to provide uniform income for
farmers; assist in lessening the A.
nancial and human cost Of crop fail
ures; protect consumers against
shortage of food supply and ex-
treme prices; and assist both busi-
ness and employment through pro-
viding a more even flow of farm
supplies and the stabilizing of farm
buying power.

light, causing an expansion in wave
length. This effect can be measur-
ed by optical instruments. 1t was
first predicted by Einstein on the
general theory of relativity and
subsequently the existence of the
gravatational effect of huge masses
on light has been established def
nitely by extensive observations.
Measurements of the surface
brightness and total radiation of a
group of stars known as the white
dwarfs indicate, continues the In
stitute, that they are so dense they
weigh 10000 to $4,000 times as
much as water, which is the stand
ard of density used on the earth.
However, the sun which supplies
light and warmth to the earth is
lightweight in comparison with the
white dwarfs. The density of the
sun is only IA, or just little
heavier than water.
