"Conse- quently, Commissioner Edward J. Hickey of the state police can con- f1dently expect that Monday after noon and evening will find state highways crowded with trafFsc.
 q know the commissioner has a well planned program worked out to facilitate continuous and req Sonably fast movement of motor traffic over Connecticut highways Sunday and Monday, but there will be many miles of open road where state police cannot be stationed. Along these stretches, MT. Motor ist must govern his driving accord ing to conditions. It seems un- necessary to urge the average op- orator to drive carefully, to stay in line and be patient. It is bro- midic to say that it is better to get home with your family fifteen minutes or half an hour later than you originally planned but get there whole and uninjured. Yet, as old as that thought may be, it is vital consideration to keep in mind".

 The defendant concern is charged with not having the special bus on time to take care of the extra pas sengers as it had done in the past, and with not providing any means for controlling or regulating the crowd.
 In another civil suit instituted to- day in superior court, Louis and Mary Triano of Naugautck seek damages of $3,5O0 from Rocco Sali- nardi, also of that town, and a temporary or permanent injunction restraining the defendant from maintaining property on their land, and prohibiting their use of it.
 The plaintiff contends that Sali- nardi has maintained property on land belonging to them located on Oak and Maple street, Naugatuck, and that this practice has deprived them of the use of approximately 100 square feet. In addition, 1t is charged, they have been deprived of rents and profits, and have been unable to sell the land due to the presence there of the defendant. Requests that possession of the property be returned to them have been refused by Salmardi, 1t is stated.

Connecticut recorded 8 twenty five per cent increase in all traffic ac- cidentS for the first six months of 1941 over the same period in 1940. Accidents have been distributed as follows: Property damage only, 59.O per cent; personal injury and prop erty damage, 39.8 per cent; fatal cases, 1.2 per cent. Any amateur statistician can figure the probable distribution of traf1ic conflict as regards accident severity if we con- tinue to experience the same rate of increase over the Labor Day weekend as has been the mase for the first half of the year..

cacy OF the sonic finding devices

There is a new kind of big game

sue in days of peace-shooting
whales with echoes. 1t already has
been tried. with Moby Dick knowing
nothing about the harpoons of
sound hitting him through the
water 1t is good practice for To-

Echo hunting requires skilled
craftsmanship. Sounds reverberate
from the body Of a big whale as
from the hull of submarine. Levi
athan, in fact, may run some danger
of being mistaken for an undersea
craft by amateurs, and the sport
Is so new that there are few real
adopts. With some practice, how
ever, officers expect to be able to
determine the size of the whale,
and every gyration he makes under
the sea. One officer Of this de-
stroyer tells Of locating by echoes
a school of porpoises and trying to
count them-but he doesn't claim
to have succeeded. But an entirely
new kind of fish story-Some whOp-
pers at that-are being created by

SOMEWHERE IN ATLANTIC
Day breaks in the middle Of tur-
quoise Atlantic.
The ocean for 40 miles is strewn
with wreckage of a recent catas-
trophe-timbers, bales Of cotton,
bobbing patches Of white which are
parts of broken bales, but at first
might be mistaken for sea gulls.
The fog has cleared during the
darkness. Almost with the first
whitening Of the heavens the look
out on the destroyer discerns strange
objects floating in the water. Float
ing bales from the distance look like
periscopes. The destroyer Is ready
for immediate action. Other craft
shift positions. Planes ascend and
begin surveying the sea. One of
them zooms suddenly. 1t seems al
most to dip its nose in the waves.
Apparently 1t also has mistaken
some tossing cotton bale for a per-
iscope and could have made short
work OF a lurking enemy.
The echo devices do not indicate
clearly the presence of submarine.
although there are some ambiguous
results from the signals. An undersea
craft may be circling the ships in
the distance but If so it is too far
away to be located precisely.
Lookout for Lifeboat.
Somewhere in this immediate
neighborhood, it is obvious, some
British ship laden chiefly with cot
ton, has met its end. Everything
indicates that the tragedy has been
quite recent, probably within the
last few hours. These patches of
cotton on the steel-blue water make
this part Of the sea look like a thiniy
populated graveyard-white tomb
stones of the newly dead in khe first
dawn.
Perhaps they have survived. 1t
Is deduced from the nature of the
wreckage that the sunken craft was
a small ship, perhaps with ouly
crew of 10 or IL men. An especially
sharp lookout is ordered all the
morning for a lifeboat. There Is a
visibility Of about seven miles in
which any object Of such size could
be spotted.
For the first time the Iceland
patrol has crossed the trail of war
Last night with its long hours Of
semi-twilight was strategic time
for a submarine attack, 1t Is calcu-
lated. Already the peace of death
Is on the waters. A mother seagull
and her brood swim amidst the
wreckage. Little petrels alight on
the tossing bales, drawn from afar
by the prospect of food.
This is the eighth day Of the con-
voy and there are the FIRST indica-
tions Of approaching land. Out of
the fog the destroyer has plunged
into typical scenery of a sub-Arctic
sea. Clouds banked around the
horizon are white and shaped like
icebergs. The craft is far, of course,
from iceberg territory Above these
clouds. like a false horizon, is the
turquoise rim around the entire sky.
First Instructions arrive about the
disposition Of the craft in Iceland
waters.
Practice on Whales.
