Reports from all sections of the state on the progress of local alum mum collection committees were made today when the State Alum mum scrap collection committee met in the State Armory at Hartford, Colonel Samuel H. Fisher, State Defense Administrator, said today.
 Mrs. Joseph w. Alsop, state chair man presided.
 Reporting today that approxiv matcly 100 local scrap aluminium chcirmen have been appointed by local town and city officials, Mrs, Alsop was confident that a commit tee would be functioning in every city ana town before the weekend.
 Following a conference on Tues day with E. G. Woodward, Dean of Agriculture at the University of Connecticut, the state chairman re- ported that field workers of the Uni- versity's Farm Extension Service will visit the rural areas during the rext two days to stimulate inter- est irl the house-to- house canvass which will start July 21.

No Fear Of Shortage
 In Fertilizer Expressed
First World War Predicament Can't Happen; Plenty
 of Basic Materials to Last for Many Years

Storrs, Conn, July IS. - Fears that acute shortages of fertilizer supplies, such as existed during the World War, will confront the farmer in production of emergency crops for the coming year were quieted here today by Charles J. Brand, Executive Secretary and Treasurer of the National Fertilizer Associa- ton, in an address before meet ing of fertilizer executives and agricultural workers.
 Consensus of estimates of Gov- ernment and industry authorities made in recent days is to the effect that there will be no such shortages of fertilizer materials as We ex- perienced in the last World War. Nitrogen, which Is necessary for munition manufacture as well as fertilizer, can largely be supplied by our own plants. The difference be- tween whether we have adequate supplies or experience Q moderate shortage is dependent in a large measure upon whether or not we can obtain ships for transportation of nitrates from Chile. Potash, for which we were dependent upon for- eign sources exclusively during the World War, is now produced within our own borders in quantities suffi- cient for our agricultural needs.
 "rhere is enough phosphate rock In the country" said MT. Brand to supply the demand for ferti- lizers for the next three thousand years. The efficiency of the in- dustry's plant capacity Is such that 1t can today produce twice aS much

Greatest Propaganda Of War Covers Europe
Great Britain Using Letter 'V' and Figure "5" to Denote Certainty of Allied Victory; Germany
 Worried, Is Exactng Punishment

Britain at once retorted by broad casting to the continent in all lan- guages, urging listeners to listen to the symphony.
 Then some hours before the sym phony was played, announcers of German radio stations started tap ping out the Morse for "Sieg." The signal, announcers said, meant that Germany was winning on all fronts flor the freedom of Europe" The German word for victory" is "sieg."
 British pilots who raided Rotter. dam yesterday reported to the air force command that Dutch people waved in welcome when hedge hopping" they flew close to the ground in "" formation.

as 1t has ever been called upon to put out - this without any gov ernment manufacture whatsoever.
 However, shortage of shipping facilities entailing increased trans portatiof and handling costs as well as wage increases will be re- flected in the price of fertilizer which has through the years been abnorn- ally low, compared to other cor11- modities which the farmer buys"
 "The program for accelerating production of dairy products, now under way, meets a national need" said Mir. Brand, commenting upon the emergency and the farmers. Our national diets never have included enough of these health building foods. The demands of the emergency and the Lease-Lend measures bring further call upon the milk producing industry. The extent to which dairy production is being speeded is evidenced by the recommendations of State Colleges, in areas affected by drought and low fertility, taht farmers fertilize their starved and drought affected pastures in order to rehabllitate the grass and extend the grazing sea- son. itN9
 Warns Against OverexpansiOn
 Farmers have not to this day recovered from the suicidal over- expansion !. of their agricultural plant during the World War. We can look with e cautious eye upon temptations to produce beyond the minimum indicat ations of emergency needs" said MT. Brand.
 "And even in the dairy industry there are some who are of the opin- ion that unlimited expansion will work havoc. Surely 1t should be kept within reason. Careful inven- tory and a not-too-eager desire to read unlimited demand in the chaos of the world should be sobering factors. Even now leaders of the cheese industry are pointing out that they are being called upon for an increased production to suppy Great Britain amounting to slightly more than the entire annual cheese consumption of the Islands in normal times.
 "The July crop report indicates 6 potato crop of 367, $50, 600 bushels, compared with ten-year average of 370O00, 900; and 8 yield of l26.6 bushels per acre compared with the ten-year average of 112.6.
 Tobacco growers have reduced their acreage from the ten-year average of 1 1894, ,s3o acres to l,316,48l In 1941. Farmers surely are trying to do their part in meeting emer- gencies."

WAR DEPT. IS
 BEHIND GEN.
Supports His Disciplinary Altitude Towards Troops
 Recently

Washington, July 17-(UP)-Un- dersecretary of War Robert F. Pat terson said today that the war de- partment supported the disciplinary action meted out by Lieut.. Gen. Ben Lear to $50 soldiers who yoo- hooed at girls in shorts on 8 Mem phis, Tenn, golf course.
 Patterson told press conference that the matter was closed so far as the war department is concerned. Lear, he said, submitted full re- port--which will not be made pulp uc-or1 why he ordered members of the 10th quartermaster battalion to march IS miles as a disciplinary measure.
 we always support our generals, " he added. Where would we be otherwise? We have matters of far more pressing importance in the war department than that"
 The luckless troops incurred Lear's displeasure by calling to the shorts-clad lady golfers as they were riding back to their home camp at Fort Robinson, Ark. Lear also was on the golf course, attired in civilian clothes. He promptly stopped the motorcade and ordered the l5-mile hike. He is commander of the second army.
 Patterson said that the incident had been exaggerated out of all pro- portions although he agreed that il made 8 fine news story for the last 10 days"
 "When you think of what's hap. pening here and abroad, however 1t was relatively unimportant," hC 1 added.

 London, July IT, (UP) = The greatest propaganda campaign of the war, in which Great Britain is using the letter w" and the figure "5" because it is the equivalent of the Roman numeral "" to denote the certainty of Allied victory, gained momentum today as 1t worked up to a mysterious and dra- matic climax promised for Sunday. All over occupined Europe, men and women were chalking letter w" or the figure "5" on walls and side- walks. and were tapping out in pub lie at every opportunity the three dots and dash which represent "" in the Morse telegraphic code.
 British planes were cheered when they flew in "" formation over the Netherlands yesterday to bomb the Rotterdam oil storage depots.
 Czech authorities here received word that the letter W" appeared suddenly all over Prague as soon as Czechs learned of Germany's att tack on Russia.
 German occupation authorities have been prosecuting relentlessly men and women caught chalking the w" or the "5."
 The British have also adopted the first bars of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, three short notes and one long one, to denote the victory symbol, The composer called this opening theme Fate knocking al the door,"
 That the campaign is worrying the Germans became fully apparent yesterday. It was announced that the Berlin Philharmonic orchestra would play Beethoven's Fifth last night, wit hLon Fuertwaengler con- ducting, and that radio Brussels and radio Paris, controlled by Ger man occupation authorities, woult relay it.

spectacular enough for visitors, but

rather, familiarity breeds an affec-

walk and ride about, as matter OF

travellers more than hallway across
