One hundred and sixty eight Connecticut men were inducted in- to the U. s. Army at Hartford yes- terday, cutting to 638 the number needed to fill this months fequisi- lion of 3,64l from the state. The ac- ceptances yesterday brought to g. PA the number inducted from this ntate to date.
 Only six rejections were reported by officers of the state induction center. One of these was a drunk whom the Army turned over to the Hartford police. After several lourI In the police lookup, the man was taken back to the induction station and given transportation back to his home town.
 One man was turned down when the Army's x-ray examination dis closed that he was tubercular. Two were rejected because of hernia, one because of insufficient teeth and one because of defective hearing.
 Most of the men taken Wednes- day were from Windsor Locks, An sonia and East Hampton, with a few from Unionville. Lorston B. DeGray of Windsor, who was sent to the in- duction center Tuesday and held overnight for further examination, proved acceptable and was sent on to Fort Devens, Mass, with the others to rejoin the Windsor men accepted Tuesday.
 Colonel Ernest L. Averill, state seiective service director, yesterday urged medical institutions, hos pitals, public clinics and dispensar- ies to aid the cause of national de- fense by making their facilities and personnel available to selective ser- vice local boards for scientimic tests of selectees.
 Praising the patriotic work of the Connecticut physicians who are giv- ing their services without pay as medical examiners for the 65 local boards in the state, Colonel Averill said one of their main problems is to obtain adequate facilities for the examination of registrarts.
 "These scientific tests," he said, "must be made before the men are sent to induction camps if the per- centage of selectees by Army medi- cal officers Is to be held to & mini- num-"
 He outlined the four major ser- vices which the medical profession can give to local boards and their examining physicians, as follows:
 1. Housing the medical functions of local boards in medical institu- tions, such as schools, hospitals and dispensaries.

ushed before hot weather. Roses
 must develop strong root systems
 and therefore a bed of loose, rich soil at least 24 inches deep must be provided. A sandy loam rich in humus is ideal.
 A complete balanced fertilizer is needed to insure healthy plants. Use a mixture consisting of 4 parts ni- trogen, 12 parts phosphorus and 4 parts potash. Well-rotted manure should be Incorporated in the soil when the bed is prepared. First year plants need less food than those well established. First-year feding consists of level table spoonful per square foot of soil area about the plants, while established plants demand l heaping table, spoonful per square foot of soil.
 In pruning, allow no dead wood to remain. Spring pruning of hybrid tea roses shortens the plant to a height of eight inches or so; hybrid perpetuals to a height of 12 to IS inches. Reduce to two or three stems. Make all cuts clean just above an eye, usually one which points upward and away from the center of the bush. Hybrid teas bloom on new wood. while perpetuals bloom on shoots of wood from pre- ceding years.
 Mildew, black spot and canker, which may be of many kinds. are the three diseases which attack roses. Bordeaux mixture, a combin- ation of lime and copper sulfate, is one of the best weapons and can be applied either as spray or dust. If lead arsenate also Is used, both insects and diseases may be control led.

CHAIRMAN DAVID
 l. WALSH ARGUES
Best Lesson in This War Is Importance of Air Power
 in Sea Warfare
BY LOUIS !. SCRABBLE

I & AsSSAS VI SSAGbAsh A4As
 United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Washington, June 4 (UP) - Chairman David I. Walsh, D., Mass, of the Senate Naval Affairs Com mittee, said today that the major lesson in this war Is "the supreme importance of air power in sea war; fare"
 He called for immediate expansion of the l6,000-man naval pilot-train- ing program.
 Despite such German air con- quests as that of Crete, he said, there Is nothing to show that 1t Is safe to abandon powerful navies as weapons of national defense. But, he said, 1t is clear that we cannot over-emphasize the value of air- craft and it is rgerettable that we have been somewhat slow in reai- izing this important factor"
 Walsh is an opponent of the ad- ministration's foreign policy. His committee considers all legislation concerning naval policy.
 His statement, made in an inter view, came as other congressional sources said that members of the senate and house naval affairs com. mittees have demanded an explan- ation of the navy's plan to build six battle cruisers. ObjectorS to building battle-cruisers were said to believe that destruction of the 42,0O0 ton British battle cruiser Hood proved the weakness of that type of ship. They wanted the United States to concentrate on heavy cruisers and battleships.
 At the time of the Hoods destruc- tion, naval sources here said weak nesses of the Hood had been taken into account in designing the six battle cruisers.
 Congressional sources disclosed that by the end of 194l the United States will have land-baSed air force capable of putting up 8 "ter- rife battle" anywhere on the vest ern hemisphere. They disclosed that the crucial period in building air defense is between now and late fall after that the supply and produc- ton of planes will be great enough to insure control of the air over both North and South America.
 These sources based their state ment on army air corps figures. De- livery figures are a military secret. but they disclosed that the army for several months has been getting quantity delivery of combat planes second to none in quality.
