Passaic, N. J., October 6-Air- plane fuel hose that will swallow bullets one half Its own diameter has been developed by the United States Rubber company and is in mass production here.
 Already a half-million feet of the self sealing material has been delivered for use by the army and and navy, W. H. Cobb, general manager of the mechanical goods division of the company, made public today.
 The usual capacity of the new defense product to absorb sus- tained punishment has been illus trated in severe tests, he said. In one case a piece of one-mch hose only three feet in length was pierced by thirteen 30 calibre ma chine gun bullets with the loss of only a slight amount of the l00- octaine aviation gasoline.
 This is made possible by the ac- ton of a special rubber sealant, which is placed between support ing plies of braided yarn. Both the interior tubing and the out- side cover of the hose are made

 It is not the first time the mat ter has come up before the govern ing body of the town. A previoas borough board failed to reach a de- cision on it. Chief of Police John J. Gormley at the recent neeting expressed the opinion its use should be confined to this state. The ides is that if 1t goes too far. 1t ma not be here when a call for t comes in. The police chief was chairman of the committee which sponsored the campaign for fun6s for the new ambulance.
 Both Warden Brophy and Chief Gormley will be pleased when definite limit is set by the board as each have pointed out 1t is asxs ing too much to have enc man responsible for this limit
 It was also stressed at the re- cent discussion that the ambulance is not permitted to go out unless a doctor requests 1t, with accidents or other emergencies being the only exception to this rule.

NEW BUS ROUTE
 REMAINS AS IS
No Change Looms Despite DetOur Inconvenience to
 No. Main Residents

Naugatuck, October 6--Although residents of North Main street are being inconvenienceG 0y the de- tour for the Naugatuck. Waterbury road, there seems at present no indication of any change in the present route of busses, 1t was learned today.
 At prsent north-hound Nauga tuck. Waterbury busses of the Conn. Railway and Lighting con1- pany go along Water street to North Church to Bridge to Spring street and thence to Platts Mills and emerge on the northern end of the Naugatuck Waterbury road, The north-bound New Haven.Wa- terbury buses of this firm, which arrive here each half hour, 60 straight up North Main street to Prospect street, thence to the East Waterbury road, taking the regular detour. southbound buses are per- mitted to use the Naugatuck-Wa' terbury road.
 As e result of this, residents oi North Main street who wish to SC to Waterbury have to walt until the New Haven Waterbury bus comes, or they have to walk tc Spring street to meet the Nauga- tuck Waterbury bus. The local buses do not use the Union City bridge because their capacity is over seven tons, which is the maxi mum capacity for that bridge.
 It was learned today no effort to gain permission for use of the regular Naugatuck- Waterbury road by northbound buses of the O.. R and L. Is being made now nor Is any anticipated while the road improve mentS are continuing.
