Italy Holds Americans
Till Axis Group Quits
Jurisdiction Of j. ).
Party May Be Detained at
Sun Reno for Arrival Of
Transport at Lisbon
By the Associated Press.


ROME, July 17.-Informe d
sources said today a train carrying
rs members of United States con-
sular party would be held in Italy
until Italian and German consuls
and employees returning to Europe
have left the jurisdiction of the
United States Government.
This presumably meant that the
American party would not be per-
mitted to leave San Reno, near the
French border, where the train was
stopped yesterday, until the United
States transport West Point reached
Lisbon. AS a naval vessel, the ship
is under the jurisdiction of the
United States Government.
Trains bearing American con-
sular officials from Germany and
Italy, Acting Secretary OF State
Welles said today, are due to
reach Portugal on the same day
the naval transport West Point
arrives in Lisbon with Axis con-
suls ousted from the United
StatesD
Acted on German Request.
The informed source said the de-
cision to hold the party was taken
at the request of the German gov
ernment
Detention of the Americans at the
Riviera resort was considered in
American circles to be reprisal
for Washington's refusal to allow
two German consular officials to re-
main at San Francisco until they
could take ship for the Far East.
The Italian Foreign Ministry in
formed the American Embassy that
'in compliance with the request Of
the German government it was
considered necessary to detaln the
American consular group in Italy
for several days for coordination of
the exchange of consular personnel.
The exchange of consular staffs
was expected to be worked out this
way:
The 76 Americans would be per-
mitted to cross into France just as
soon as the Axis group from the
United States crosses Portugal and
Spain into France.

TRAFFIC MISHAPS
 UP 30 PER GENT
Increase Blamed on In. adequate Police Facili.
 ties By Safety Group

Connecticut's 30 per cent increase in traffic accident during the first six months of this year is blamed on inadequate police facilities, the Safety Promotion Section states in 8 report to the Commissioner, which is included in the monthly bulletin issued by the Connecticut Depart ment of Motor Vehicles.
 The bulletin announces that pro- perty controlled traffic experiences comparatively few conflicts, adding that control of traffic is of two types.
 "There is self-control which thous- ands of operators practice and avert involvement in traffic conflicts, the periodical states. Particularly do they avoid causing accidents" 1t stresses, and those who do not con- trol their own motor vehicle opera ton require police control"
 Six months this year the depart rnent received l1,e77 reportable traf- flc accidents as compared with g. O50 of last year for the same period, asserting that regardless of differ- ent factors involved, traffic was not effectively controlled, either volun- tarily or by police patrol for this period.
 The effectiveness of enforcement by measuring the total number of convictions for traffic violations is superficial method of evaluation. . Arrests and convictions can be appraised only as they are consld- cred in relation to the accident rate"
 The statement continues, "It takes no particular ingenuity to hand out Q ticket, but 1t does take unusual astuteness to direct and concentrate the efforts of Q department against the type of violation having sone- thing to do with accidents"
 The local drivers school is the means which the city police depart ment Is attempting to educate the driving public through course con- ducted by Officers William 0. Dwyer and James Little in acquainting, every Friday night, the different

DAMAGE LOWERS PURCHASE PRICE
Old ReidvilIe Property Or. dered Sold for $2,lOO;
 $3,O5O in August

The board of aldermen voted last night to sell to Oreste Arcari for $2,I0O the Rockville school property, for which MT. Arcari had bid $3,050 only a few months ago. The sale, voted on recommendation of the land committee, is still subject to approval by Mayor Vincent A. Scully.
 In recommending that the offer made by MT. Arcari be accepted, the land committee reported that the value of the building had de- preciated since his original offer, with windows being broken and boards being ripped away.
 MT. Arcardi'S summer offer of $s,lO0 was accepted by the board at that time, along with offers for four other pieces of property. The trans- actions were approved in Q single vote. Mayor Scully, disappearing one or two of the sales, had to veto all five.
 New bids were called for and this time Mir. Arcari offered $2,100. The board voted this down @ month ago when the land committee held that the bid was too low.
 Again new bids were called and last night the board voted to sell the land to MT. Arcari for almost $l,000 less than 1t voted 1t sell 1t to him in the summer.
 Acceptance of two tracts of land offered by private owners to the city was voted. One Is a strip owned by the Apothecaries Hall O. on Meadow street, near Benedict street. The other, owned by James sincaster, is at Baldwin and East Liberty streets.

Air Corps Recruits
 Still lin Big Demand
l,65I Vacancies Exist at Jefferson Barracks; Fort
 Monmouth Popular With Waterburians

Despite the number of young men from the Waterbury area who have been enlisting in the army, and trav- cling from here to the various army bases, particularly those of the air corps, there is still opportunity for practically liHnitless number of further recruits in these bases, ac- coFding to Sergt. William Deuth, To- cal recruiter.
 Recruits from this area in the past few months have shown a decided predilection for the air corps, and have been streaming in considerable numbers to the air base at Jefferson Barracks, Mo. Since this tendency has been widespread one, the pos- sibility that the accommodations at the Missouri barracks would by this time be taxed almost to capacity oc- cured to your reporter.
 The sergeant, however, was quick to offer reassurance. i've just re- ceiyed word', he said, "that there are still 1851 vacancies at Jefferson Barracks, and at the present rate of vnlistments there is no immediate need for concern about the adequacy of the facilities therel"
 "As matter of fact" the recruit CT continued, "there are vacancies today in every branch of army serv- ice, and there Is no one of the many army camps In the country which could not accommodate more men than are stationed there at present"
 In addition to the air corps at Jef- ferson Barracks, young Waterburians seem most prone to volunteer for the signal corps, at Fort Monmouth, N. J., for the medical department, at Camp Lee, Va, and for the quar- termaster corps, also at Camp Lee. To give some idea of how greatly the army is expanding, Sergt. Deuth ex- plained that his superiors want to enlist IS more men at the Virginia signal corps barracks, 152 in Camp Lees quartermaster corps, and no less than 378 in the medical corps!
 Young men faced with being called under the selective service system and eager to serve their stint on foreign shores can join the army now, and be certain of being sent to Puerto Rico, Panama, Hawaii, or the Philippines, provided there are va cancies in barracks there in the type of service they elect, the ser- geant said.
 For those who prefer service with In continental United States, the army offers @ wide variety of de- partments for which they may vol-
