'Tt is impossible to find this money" he said. There seems to be . mistaken impression on the part of some relative to the. estimated surplus which the city may or may not have at the end of the year. Some have eSti- mated $400, 900, but whatever 1t is it will not be available until the end of the year and then, accord ing to the charter, 1t can be used only in financing the next years budget, or aiding in lowering the tax rate for that year. It cannot be appropriated against this year even if we knew, accurately, what it will be.
 Some people confuse it with unexpended balances of appropri- ations. We hope there will be ln- expended balances in appropri- ations at the end of the year, and If they exist, they will constitute part of the surplus, but the most of the surplus will consist of actual

CHLORINE FUMES
 MADE MANY SICK

Kearney, N. J., Aug. 8.UP)--At least 50 persons were recovering to- day from the effects of chlorine fumes which escaped from broken feed pipe from a tank car to a naphthalene actor and blanketed an area of almost a square mile. At least 20 victims were taken to hospitals here and in Jersey City and Newark. Many more were treated at first aid stations erected near the Standard Naphthalene Products company, where the break occurred last night.
 Police rom nearby communities aided local rescue workers, most of whom were not equipped with gas masks or other protective devices. Many of the victims collapsed and two Pennsylvania railroad employees were missing for more than two hours. They were found unconscious near the factory and were sent to a hospital.

Captain peTcival says, but he made 1t . definite order.
 With the men on the move, the Captain crawled along the deck to- wards the saloon to get the ships code books. But wreckage obstnlct- ed the enkraneeway. That is when seaman Watts showed up and said he was staying with the skipper. Pcrcival ordered him away but stIll the man refused. So the Captain sent him in after the books and other confidential papers and then, placing them in a weighted bag, tossed them overheard.
 All hands were now hobbing up and down in the small boat, float ing on the water below. The stern was about to dip under and again Pervical tried to get seaman Watts to jump overheard and swim to that boat.
 Instead, Watts ran to the rail and shouted for two men to help. The lines had not yet been cut, so two men scrambled up from the Nfeboat and with the ship about to take its final plunge, they lowered the cap- tain down
 IT WAS CLOSE
 BUT THEY MADE IT
 The rope around his waist hurt more than the broken legs, the Cap tain says now, but that mattered lit- tle. For they made it all right, and had %aaak rYat khN l1rna ard fokMn half . dozen strong pulls with the oars when the ship went under.
 The convoy had long ago diSap- peared, individually, over the horizon and only the destroyerS were there, picking up survivors from those ships which had been sunk. The German bombers were no longer in sight, they had dropped all their high explosives and had returned to their base.
 So there they were, Captain Per- cival says from his wheelchair in the front room of his small house in this seaport town, finishing the voyage home in q destroyer-their cargo of guns, trucks, airplane parts and medical supplies on the ocean floor. His wedding anniversary present of two Virginia baked hams, granulated sugar, silk stockings and cream cheese was lost. But most Of that whole convoy got safely to port, so maybe the long voyage home didn't turn out so bad after all, he unused.

RUTGERS SEC'Y
 GOING TO R. l.

 Only families which have not rooms enuogl1 to live decently st present, or who are forced to live apart or who are experiencing dif- faculties of that nature will be con- sidered rigntfu1 applicants, MT. Mc- 0rath added.

 If construction on the two sites on Hamilton avenue and Long Fill road continues on schedule, the first tenants will be able to move into their new homes my mid -Septem- Der. Special dedicatory ceremonies will take place at that time. The Warmer tract off the Long Hill road will be the first to be occupied, as the work of construction there has already passed the halfway mark, according to Maj. John l.. Lee, fed- eral engineer. Roofs of some of the dwellings are being put on this week.
 Rents will probably be restricted to families with seven members or less, according to MT. McGrath. Prospective tenants will also have to meet certain requirements in furnishing their units. he explained.
 No Ruling on Fireman
 Mir. McGrath has made no final decision in regard to the request of Pvt. Leonard B. Murphy, of the fire department, for one of the rents on the federal sites. Murphy explained that he was evicted from his home some time ago, and has since been unable to find 8 rent for his fam- fly, So that five of his children have had to live outside the city. He con- tended that members of the fire de- pertinent were essential to the .1a- tional dfenSe. MT. McGrath Is still considering the request.
 The housing manager made a fi- nal appeal today for suggestions from the people of Waterbury as to names for the two federal sites. Unless some proposals are made here, he said, he or the federal au- thorities at Washington will have to select names for them more or less arbitrarily.

Raise of City Pay Will
 Increase All Taxes

city receipts in excess of the estimated receipts. That is, the city bases its budget on . 92 per cent collection of taxes. Press ent collections indicate that more than 9S per cent will be collected. but the excess above 92 per cent cannot be appropriated until the end of the year. Even if we cole lected 100 per cent of the taxes, we could not use this year more than the 92 per cent appropriated.
 Cannot Assume Things
 Tt is true that transfers can be made this year from one appropriation to another, and we hope that there will be unexpended balances in several appropria- tions at the end of the year. but we cannot assume at this time that there will be balances in any appropriations at the end of the year, certainly not enough to equal the proposed pay raises. If we made any such transfers now, the appropriations from which the transfers were made probably would be exhausted before the end of the year.
 Tt is true we made transfers of appropriations for the repair of the fire truck and other p,ir- poses not visualized when this years budget was adopted, but tE every case. we earmarked funds in certain appropriations which could not be spent and must be held for possible transfer later on Into the appropriations drawn on.
 The fact remains that a flat increase in pay of IA per cent for all city employees means an ia- crease in the tax rate of two mills." IVY

Japan Again Making Encirclement Charges

Isllii said that if American ships called ct Japan they would be treated the same way Japanese ships were treated in America. He said the repatriation of Japanese ships from the United States was difficult because there were so many of them, but that the ques- ton might become subject for negotiations between Japan and the United States and that mean while, the resumption of shipping to the United States depended on whether 1t was economically prof itabIe.
 Domei, the semi official news agency, said Communication Min ister shozO Murata planned to set up a special department to charter all available Japanese ships as 8 means of coping with the interna- tional situation.
 No Defense Agreement
 IsElii said Japan at present had no thought of negotiating a joint defense agreement with Thailand. He asked why Britain was making military preparations in Malaya 1ln- less 1t had designs on Thaland.
 Ishii said the United States was more severe than Great Britain in enforcing its monetary freezing regulations.
 The outlook of negotiations with the Dutch East Indies, he said, was more or less hopeful."
 Newspapers avoided references to the warnings to Japan by Eden and United States Secretary of State Cordell Hull against occupy ing Thailand. Even the small, ultra Nationalistic Kokumin softened the tone of its references to American Japanese relations. A Domei dis patcch from Hanoi, quoting Rear Admiral Jean De Coux, governor general of French Indo- China, as denouncing the American and Britt ish attitude toward the Japanese Indo Chinese defense pact, was prominently displayed in news paper shere.
 Evacuation Ordered Shanghai, Aug. 8-(UP)-Japanese women, children and men not in military service have been ordered to leave a vast stretch Of western Manchukuo, reliable quarters said today.
 The Japanese civilians, it was said, have been ordered to clear out from Manchuli, on the western frontier with Siberia, to Tsitsihar, $50 miles east of Manchuli on the railway. During recent weeks sporadic clashes have been reported between Japanese and Russia tnroops in the Manchuh area and should large scale hostilities break out Soviet forces would be expected to drive down the railway from Manchuli in the direction of Tsitsihar.

 Rome, Aug. e-(UP)- The Ital- ian high command today reported new. British air raids on Tripoli and other Axis bases in north Af- rica but said only two persons were killed and several wounded.
 Italian planes were reported to have bombed the British. Mediter. ranean island of Malta for three nights in succession. A communique said also that Italian planes had bombed depots and port works at Famagosta on the British eastern Mediterranean island of Cyprus, causing fires.

dogs the navy slnips circled and signaled and when Q merchant master seemed unduly slow In re- spending, their horns would start hooting and then the 3relghfer would speed into position.
 The convoy continued to forge ahead ali day, with the lookouts on each ship watching first the sea for some sign of . submarine and then the horizon for the smoke of what might be . German surface raider.
 Day merged into night and the convoy plugged along, each hour bringing those munitions closer to England and the men closer to home.
 ATTACKED BY
 GERMAN PLANES
 It was early afternoon of the sixth day when it happened. No peris- cope broke surface and no battle ship loomed on the horizon. In- stead, five f0ur-engined Eocke- Wulfs patroling far out from their sea base in occupied France ap- peared.
 The 1oOkouts spotted them imme- diately and then the convoy began, to loosen, each ship racing from forNlation and trying to put as much distance as possible between itself and its neighbor.
 The planes continued on until they were over the convoy and then they, too, separated. Then the bombs began dropping. Many mis- sed, of course, because the barrage from the pom-polns of the destroy CTS and the Lewis guns of the freighters kept them sufficiently high to make spot aiming difficult. And, too, if they dropped down too low the armor plating along the bot- tom of their planes would fail to give protection. So they missed with many of their bombs but did score twelve direct hits and the s s. Ap- pleton was one of the victims.
 A one-ton bomb landed amid ships. Captain Percival was blown off his bridge. He fell forty feet, and when he sat up among the de- hris of sandbags, hatches and Nfe- belts he found both his legs broken and his knee joints shattered.
 The steering gear was gone and the ship was taking water fast. He ordered lifebeltS on everyone and the one remaining 1ifeboat lowered. The crew was reluctant to leave,

ehurfa in 1881. Gen. Ma Chan-shan fought the Japanese on the Nonni river near Tsitsihar.
 Mai. Kunio Akiyama, Japanese military spokesman in Shanghai. said the Russians and Japanese both were making every effort to prevent clashes on the Manchukuo- Siberia border. But, he said. clashes had oc- cured.
 Commenting on a statement to the press in Moscow yesterday by s. A. IozovsISy, Soviet vice minister for foreign affairs, that there had been no Russo Japanese clashes, Akiyama said Iozovsky had not taken the time element into consideration.
 Accordingly, Akiyama said, there could have been clashes about which I,ozovslxy had not been informed. Tn recent statements Akiyanla has mentioned Russo-J Japanese clashes on the ManchuIkuo-O Outer Mongolia frontier as well as near the junction of the Korean, Manchurian and Si- herian borders. Japan Expects War
 Santiago, Chile, Aug. 8--(UP)-A high naval source said today that the Japanese liner Rakuyo Maru re- mains in port here because Japan believes war will break out before it can reach Yokohama.
 He said that Japanese vessels might be ordered to remari in Calil- can ports indefinitely.
 The Rakuyo Maru's departure with Ernst Wendler, expelled German minister to Bolivia, among its pas. sengers, has been postponed three times in six days. It had steam up yesterday, but its master said he needed extra oil for "any emer- gency". He had been ordered to sail directly to Yokohama, 9,339 miles away.
 Mining trade circles said the ut1- settled condition of Japanese ship ping to Chile might lead to cancel ation of ore contracts with Japan and diversion of copper and other minerals to the United States. Re- liable sources said the United States had offered to absorb all exports of independent ore operators in Peru and Chile to prevent the minerals from reaching Japan.
 American Oil Seized
 Shanghai, Aug. S-(UP)-The oil cargo of the Standard Oil tanker Meiyo has been conflScated and turned over to customs authorities at Shanghai, a Japanese naval Espokesman said today.
 The Meiyo was seized by the Jap- anese several days ago and held for investigation. Today naval spokes- man said its oil cargo had been con- fiscated because 1t was destined for the angtze river port of Shinkong, which is nj territory in which Chi nese guerrilla forces are active. The Shanghai customs, which are Japan ese contrilled, will dispose of the cargo, it was understood.

New York, Aug. B. (UP) - Joe Louis will defend his world heavy weight championship against Lou Nova at Yankee Stadium on Sept. ls, Promoter Mike Jacobs an- nounced today.
 The principals agreed to the bout some time ago and only the date and site remained to be chosen. Boston, Detroit and Chicago all were anxious to obtain the fight, and groups in Boston and Detroit even offered guarantees to Jacobs.
 Nova, who has been in the Maine woods getting in some preliminary training, will be in Boston later to- day. He probably will come down to New York later to choose his training camp.

anniversary and the Wite would like these things, he figured.
 By nine o'clock he was back aboard the S. s. Appleton ready for the long voyage home. The cargo had been stored away and the matches battened down two hours before. The crew was aboard, some below in their hunks and others up on deck standing in the cool night air watching the chunky tugs and ferry boats puff from Brooklyn to the Battery. and enjoying the merrily twinkling lights of Manhattan. Even if they made a safe trip and a quick turn around in their English port-of- call, it would be much more than a month before they would again see city lights at night.
 The s. s. Appleton slipped from its berth and headed down river. Past the Statue of Liberty and on to Sandy Hook and then New York was behind; the submarine infested Atlantic ahead.
 IN THE GRAVEYARD
 OF BRITISH SHIPPING
 The first days were uneventful. Nothing but blue sky and blue green water and churning froth slipping sternwards as the lum- bering freighter made its eight methodical knots each hour.
 On the fifth day there was an increase in the tension aboard the s. s. Appleton because the ship was now approaching that trian- gular zone which stretches from the Irish coast to Greenland down to hypothetical point in mid Atlantic. To all Britons, from the Prime Minister to the lowliest cabin boy, that zone is known as the graveyard of British shipping
 The Captain ordered all port holes blacked-out and that night he toured the ship himself to see that no light escaped. On. through the night the vessel steamed and then at 5 8. m. the s. s. Appleton picked up the convoy it feared had been missed. It was good to see those other ships and the ;1e- stroyers circling around, keeping the vessels in loose formation, says Captain Percival.

STUBBORN FIGHTING

London, Aug. Stubborn fighting continued last night In the Kakisalmi, Smolensk and Belaya Tserkov directions and in the Eston- ian Sector, according to 8 Soviet communique picked up by the United Press listening post from radio Mos COW today.
 The communique said that "noth- ing important occurred in other sec- tors.'
 Our air force, in cooperation with land forces, continued to deal blows to the enemy mechanical and motorized forces as well as to in- fantry on the battle field, aircraft and enemy airdromes," it said.
