TWO CIVIL SUITS WITHDRAWN TODAY
Accident on Merritt Park. way Basis of Claim Filed
 By Local Man

A $500 civil action brought by William A. Solomon of this city, against Beatrice B. and Harold H. Callahan. both of Hartsdale, New York, was withdrawn in common pleas court today. Solomon had claimed extensive damage sustained by his car in collision on the Mer. ritt parkway near Westport last March II.
 The plaintiff, 1t was alleged, had halted his automobile on the high- way, and was unable to start the engine. While the vehicle was Sta- tionary, a car, operated by Harold II. Callahan, and owned by the other defendant. approached and struck 1t in the rear. The impetus of the crash forced Solomon's car into one ahead, causing consider able damage. The local man claimed that the vehicle had depre- ciated in value as 6 result of the collision.
 Also withdrawn in common pleas court today was $25O civil action brought by Gilbert B. Bovaird oi Cywyd, Pennsylvania, against John P. Moroz of Waterbury. A collision on the Pennington -Plainville road in Pennington last August 90, formed the basis of the suit. The plaintiff contended tl:at his car had been reduced in value by the crash and that he had been obliged to in- cur expenditures in order to have repairs made. Terms of settlement in neither case were disclosed.

NEW TAX MEASURE MAY BE DEFERRED
House Committee Blocked Any Congressional Action
 at Present Time

Washington, Nov. 7- (U.P) -- The house ways and means commit tee has blocked immediate congress sional action on the treasuFy's big gest-so-far war tax program but there was general agreement in both the senate and house that consider ation of huge new taxes in all cate- gories could not be postponed longer than January.
 Chairman Robert l.. Doughton, D., N. C., of the ways and means com- mittee, after conferring with his committee and Speaker Sam Ray burn, announced that the program had been temporarily deferred"
 That meant, Doughton indicated, that Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau's request that congress act before January 1 on a $4 300 ,O00.O 900 tax bill--including Q IS per cent withholding levy on inc comes in addition to regular income taxes--had been rejected.
 Both the senate and house sources disclosed that Moygenthau had pre- sented his program as Q "stop gap" measure. That Is, 1t was designed to soak up purchasing power that might precipitate runaway infiation while the treasury was preparing its io42 tax program.
 The 1922 program will involve in- creases the whole way down the federal revenue code. Since individ. ual incomes may be subjected to an additional IS per cent tax to be de- ducted from the wage earner's check they might escape still heavier blows in the I942 bill, but corporation earnings, luxury commodities and estates were expected to be the source of bigger and bigger assess ments.
 As e result of ways and means committee action, it was learned, the entire new federal tax program probably will be Jumped into 6 sin. gle tax program which will be start- ed through congress sometime in January.

U. s. ARMY BEST
 FED IN ALL WORLD
Diets of Civilians, How. ever Have Many Defects;
 Army Fare Excellent

Worcester, Mass, Nov. T.-(Upl, -Dr. James A. Tobey Of New York City said today that the U. s. army is the best-fed Of any in the world while the diets of the civilian pop- ulation contain many defects.
 pr. Tobey. nutrition director of the American Institute of Baking, told the Worcester Kiwanis club that surveys of civilian diets had revealed that the diets of millions of Americans were not adeQuate for the best health.
 However. he said that there was no statistical evidence to support rash assertions" by government of. ficiais and others that 45.OOO 900 Americans are poorly nourished." 1"
 Dr. Tobey said that the present army fare is superior in dietary vale ues to that served during the World War and that the troops, unlike Nazi soldiers who suhsast largely Or, Ersatz. are getting a variety and abundance of natural foods.

INSTRUCTIONS
 FILL CASCO BAY
Vessels Entering By Illus. sey Sound Warned; Sub-
 marine Nets Presumed

Washington, Nov. 2 - (U.P) - Vessels entering Maine's Casco Bay through Hussey Sound were warned today to proceed with utmost cau- ton" because of "obstructions" placed across the inlet near Overset Island.
 The Navy did not explain the na- ture of the "obstructions" but there was speculated that they might be submarine nets.
 Portland Maine's largest harbor where there are many ships building shipyards involved in defense work, is on Casco Bay. So also is Bath, Me. another great shipbuilding center.
 The Navy has made extensive preparations to provide protection of all large harbors with submarine nets in event of war and Rear Ad- miral Alexander Sharp, of the office of the chief of naval operations, sev- eral weeks ago recommended the advisability of laying such nets "as practice"
 Further strengthening the belief that the "obStructions" might be net was the Canadian Navy Ministers annoupncement two days ago that German submarines were operating less than 1000 miles from the coast of Maine.
 The "obstructionS" notice was con- tained in a bulletin issued by the navy's Photographic ofiice. Ships were directed to enter by a special ly marked channel.

REPORT EXPECTED
 ON INCINERATOR
Special Committee Is Ex. pected to Reject Petition
 for New System Here

The board of aldermen will re- ceive 6 report tonight from e special mayors committee that establish. ment of 6 rubbish removal system or construction of the city inciner- ator is too costly at this time. Ac- ceptance of the report by the board seems certain, though some Re- publican objection to 1t may be voiced.
 Alderman Patrick Shea, Democra- tic leader of the board, heads the committee which studied the rab- bish removal problem. Assisting him were Alderman c. Arthur DuBois (R), Commissioner John Savino of the board of works, City Engineer Charles A. Root and Thomas F, Moore of the city plan commis- sion.
 A lengthy report compiled by the Waterbury Taxpayers associa- ton was turned over to the com mittee a week ago. The association held it would be unwise to place an added burden on the taxpayers at this time. The opinion was eX- pressed that if collection system should ever be set up 1t should be operated on a pay-as-you-go basis with householders being charged for the service. The association took the stand that construction of a municipal incinerator, if needed should be delayed until it could be built as a postwar project em- ploying persons losing their jobs when defense production is halted
 The move for a city system of rubbish collection was initiated by local community clubs. Their appeal led to the appointment ot the special committee.

C.L.&P. Co Arranging
 To Raise $1O, ,OOO, 900
Additional Generating Facilities Needed at Devon;
 6S,O44 Shares of Preferred Stock Being Retired

stock which will have no par value but Q liQuidating value of $50 a share. A total of lS6,OS9 of these shares, bearing Q dividend rate of Sa.25 per annum, vii be offered to holders of the present 5 Ia prefer red on a basis of two shares of the new stock for one share of old stock.
 Such shares as are not taken up under the exchange offer, together with the 100000 additional shares to be issued, will carry Q $2,00 dividend per annum and will be sold to un- derwriters for cash, President Camp bell stated. All old preferred stock not exchanged will be called for re- demption on March 1, l942 at SIP and accrued dividends,
 Of special interest to common stockholders is that part of MT, Campbell's letter where he makes reference to the savings that will be obtained through the present tax laws. With the retirement of the $ l-2 per cent preferred stock, to- gether with the tax savings arising out of credit for new capital under the present tax laws, the combined savings will approximately offset the increase in preferred stock divi- dends necessary to raise the new money and will not apparently re- duce the earnings available for the company's common stock, Thus, even before application of operating savings resulting from installation of new generating units, the com pany under this program is able to obtain $l0,000,000 of new money without dilution of common stock earnings.
 MT. Campbell, in commenting on the new construction program of the company, declared;
 Our Company is meeting the greatly increased demands for elec- tric power, but it is essential that we add to our generating capacity to meet future demands occasioned by the National Defense program, The addition of two Devon units will add 90,000 kilowatts to our present generating capacity of le4,l45 kilo- watts.
 The 45,0oo kilowatt unit now be- ing installed is expected to be in operation by next fall, while the second unit Of similar capacity is planned for operation late in l944.
 Both of these units are more efficient than older units now in op- eration. They are capable of pro- ducing more current with 6 smaller consumption of fuel and will, there fore, make possible substantial sav- ingS in operating costs"
