EX-MARINES MAY
 ORGANIZE HERE
National COmmandant to Visit City Tomorrow
 for Conference

Chris J. Cunningham, national commandant of the Marine corps league, an organization of eX-mar- ines, will be in Waterbury tomor- row to organize e detachment of the league in this city. A meeting of all those interested will be held at eight o'clock tomorrow night at the local marine recruiting station, Room lo9, in the post oftice build ing.
 All men who have ever served in the United States Marine corps are eligible for membership and are urged to attend the meeting, bring ing their honorable discharges with them. It is expected that there w4ll be @ large attendance, as consider. able interest in the formation of such a unit has already been evinced in Waterbury.
 Sergt Maxwell P. Dickerso1, local Marine recruiter, says that thirty or forty ex-Marines have been in to see him since his arrival in this city in May. and Comnandant Cum ningham reports receiving several letters from former Marines in Wa terbury in regard to forming & de- tachment here. The commandant will make the trip from national headquarters at Albany, N. r., to attend the meeting tomorrow. The Marine Corps league, only all-Mar- inc veteran organization, was or- ganized in 1922 and was chartered by Act of Congress in August, 1897. Maj. Gen. John A. Lejeune, World war commander of the Second Di- vision, AEF, was the first national commandant and is now honorary national coinmandant.
 A political, non-Sectarian organization, the league was organ- ized for the purpose of working to- ward the cementing of ties which bind Marines together, both in and out of the service. It aids disabled Marines and maintains q program designed to preserve the memories of those who served in the country's oldest branch of the military serv- ice.
 Thousands of new members and more than 100 new attachments have been organized during the present membership drive.

tanker 1000 miles west of the French coast and the high command claim ed that I3 heavily laden ships total ing 82,600 tons had been sunk In the Atlantic by U-boatS.
 The vessel sunk by the bombers, striking far out into the Atlantic, was reported to be the sttala, G. 2i8-ton tanker.
 (The position given for the vessel by DINE would not place 1t inside the American defense zone)
 The l3 merchantmen were sunk, the high command reported, In Q running battle with two Atlantic conveys, one of which was said to have been 'left in the lurch" by three escort vessels.
 The i3 vessels included four tank CTS, the communique said. The date of the attacks was not specified.
 In addition, another merchant man was attacked and damaged by a torpedo hit, the high command said.
 The communique asserted that three escort vessels withdrew under attack leaving one Of the conveys unprotected.
 The official news agency had said previously that the German navy, during the past week. had sunk 250,S 300 tons of British shipping, 1e4,- 900 tons of which was said to have been sent to the bottom in Ice landic waters"
 The news agency said 34 mer- chantmen totaling l0I 900 tons were sunk by U-boats, four merchant men totaling 26,000 tons by speed boats, and S4,SoO tons by the air force.
 The German high command said today that German planes had sunk a Russian cruiser, two de- stroyers, an anti-aircrafE ship and nine merchantmen totaling 25,000 tons in the Black sea yesterday.

 A l2OO0-ton steamship was dam. aged and must be considered lost, 1t added.
 Gibraltar port. one of the bastions of British naval power, is one ot the most closely guarded in the world and lies under the big guns of the rock fortress protecting the entrance to the Mediterranean.
 British warships have used the port constantly but usually only for brief periods because the area Is vulnerable to air attack, but pre-. sumably only small enemy naval units could attack the port.
 Italy has frequently made use oi one-man suicide torpedo boats in such attacks in the past. The rt- tie craft are launched, usually 'at night, from bigger warships. They consist chiefly of Q torpedo which is steered at the target at high speed. The pilot cuts loose shortly before the target is hit, taking chance on being picked up by the enemy or reaching shore.

 Meanwhile, 1t was reported with out confirmation that agents of the Federal Bureau of Investiga- ton were trailing another defend- ant, who pleaded guilty and is at liberty under bail, after receiving information that he was continu- ing his espionage activities.
 In one letter identified by &c., bold as written by Heine and given to him for transmission, the author said:
 "Henry Ford no doubt could make good on his promise of production of 1000 airplanes Q day if he had definite orders, but fortunately this genius of production refuses to manufacture for warning powers but for American defense only.
 However, General Motors and Chrysler are huge companies and can do almost the same thing"
 Maxi Spy Ring
 The defendants are accused Of being members of a Maxi spy ring which gathered information about United States military production and organization, including several secret weapons" and transmitting 1t by courier on steamships and through 6 short-wave radio station at Centerport, Long Island.
 Sebold, who received Gestapo iIl' structions during a visit to Ger. many in 1889 and turned them over to the FBI on his return in 1e4O, set up the station with Ges- tapo money. It operated from May, 194O, to this month. Presumably real information gathered by the NaM agents was either not sent or distorted. Of the original 33 de. fendants, IT pleaded guilty.
 In another letter, Heine analysed American aircraft production for 1889 and l940 and said that from September, 1889, to May, 1940, the United States had released 300 Cur- tiss P-40s to the Allies from the navy and 200 Lockheed C-3Ts from the army. In addition, the letter o0AAp OAC SVFCAAAAAS&A1 B0EC kNA AAhS~ sion for 400 Curtiss planes near. inS completion to be sent abroad.
 Heine estimated the June, 1940, supply of aircraft in this country at 800 and sent 500 would be re- leased to Great Britain and France. On June IS, 1e40, the letter add. ed, 140 warplanes were in ware- houses awaiting shipment.
 In addition, he said, 750 Lock- heed-Hudson bombers were assigned to the Allies, along with 1900 Cur- tiss planes, and 200 Bell Airaco- bras. The delivery charts, the let- te rcontinued, showed T.450 planes scheduled to be sent to the demo- cracies, 4,00O of them bombers.
 Heine gave 1889 aircraft produc- ton in this country as 6.il5 planes but said 300 per cent increase was expected.
 In a radiogram identified as sub- mitted by Heine to Miss Stein for transmission, the author. said he had not "heard or read of enlist. ments here for the English army and no sentiment for it."

Total Number of Persons Placed in Employment Less Than in July

Hartford, conn, Sept. 22-The Connecticut state Employment Service found scel jobs for appli- cants during the month of August, State Labor Commissioner Cor neiius J. Danaher announced to- day, which represents Q decrease of 6.6 per cent from the July total. The decrease Is almost wholly acc counted for by placements in the agricultural group and in domestic service positions and were coEn- pensated for in some degree by increases in construction, building and manufacturing placements.
 At the same time MT. Danaher announced that applications for unemployment compensation betle- fits showed e 44.0 per cent drop from the July total. There were 6864 Initial claims filed in August as compared with i0,637 In July. However, 1t was pointed out that the exceptionally large volume of claims during July was principally caused by amendments to the Un- employment Compensation Law, which became effective that month. These amendments required all who were receiving unemployment benefits to file new applications.
 The largest decline in unemploy- ment claims last month were re. ported in Bridgeport, Meriden, Middletown, New Haven, New LoSl- don, Stamford and Torrington. There was also Q sharp decrease in the number of job applicants during the month of August, the total being S3 per cent less than the previous month, and the active Ale of those available for work was 40,4o6, e decrease of l0.S per cent from the number available on July 3fst.
