day, Judge George ". Sample re-
manded four Detroit negroes for
sentence when they admitted break-
ing into parked cars near the sta
dunn Saturday.
They are Thomas Afford, Ralph
Riley. Maurice Williams, and Wal
ter Bridgewater. They originally
stood mute when arraigned before
Justice Jay II. Payne here, but
later waived examination. They
are held under $1,000 bond.
\ divorce decree, effective I'M
mediately, was granted Leona v.
from Glen K. Green, Ypsilanti. Mrs.

Today a jury is hearing test
mony in a $4,000 suit instituted
by William n. Harrison, Garden
City, as administrator of the estate
of Edith NJ Harrison vs.. Fred
Lorenz and the Montgomery Ward
Co. Mr.. Harrison charges his wife
burned 10 death On oct. 6, 1875,
as the result OF burns received
when a stove, purchased from the
Montgomery Ward Co exploded,
showering her with flaming gasO-
line. He further charges that Ar.
Lorenz, a repairman for the-com-
pany, had failed to properly repair
the stove when previously sent u
the Harrison home for that pur-
pose.
The defendants claim there was
nothing wrong with the stove, and
that Mrs. Harrisons burns were
the result of her own negligence
in removing gasoline from the
stove for cleaning purposes while
a flame was burning in another
stove in the same room. This fame
ignited the gasoline vapors from
the stove, they claim.

For several years only a small por-

the Atlantic, but with new and recon
d.tjoped ships being added it is as
suming proportions to warrant the
designation of this force as the Allan

and will have about 125 ships.

FEDERAL LAND BANK
MAKES SUBSTANTIAL GAINS

The Federal Land Bank Of Spokane
made substantial gains in almost ev

1870, according to John F. Green,
secretary treasurer Of the Davenport
National Farm Loan Associations.
These associations are stockholders in
the bank and make and service land

counties. Green received report OF
the banks condition this week.
The bank IS accomplishments in 1910
as reported by Green, included making

year after adjustment of reserves;
the retirement of ss,129,375 Of Gov

Admiral Husband E. Kimmel, who sue
ceeds Admiral J. O. Richardson as
commander-in-ch chief. The Asiatic fleet,
stationed in the Far East, will contin-
ne under the command Of Admiral
Thomas C. Hart.
Under the fleet reorganization
plan, which becomes effective on Feb
ruary /, the enlisted strength of the
Navy is authorized to be increased
from 10000 to $4,000 men. To
supply additional Officers urgently
needed, considerable number of mid
shipmen at the Naval Academy will be
commissioned in February, four months
ahead of the usual graduation date.
Naval construction is progressing
more satisfactorily than any other
phase of the armament program, and
the United States Navy will soon be
the ttrongest sea force the world has
ever known.

Benito N[ussolini, the once loud
mouthed Italian dictator, has now be-
come one of the world 3 most contemp-
tible figures. and many predict that
his downfall is probable within few
months. His utter failure since Italy
entered the war has shaken the con-
fidepce of his own people in his wis
dom and military judgment.
The boosted strength Of italian
arms, which appeared to be consider
able at the time Mussolini stabbed
France in the back last June, has been
hopelessly beaten by little Greece and
by the British in Africa. His navy
las refused to fight, but has been par
tally destroyed in its home ports by
British bombers and virtually driven
from the open sea by the British Med
iterranean fleet. His air force, al
though composed of thousands OF
planes, has been miserably ineffec-
tive.
Even if reintorcements from Ger
many should save Italy, it would only
emphasize the impotence Of Mussolini,
and Hitler would doubtless take charge
of italian affairs, as German conquer
ors have done in former times.
Whatever happens there seems moth
ing in sight for Italian people but hum
iliation, disgrace and poverty. All this
will come to a once great and respec'
ted nation because of egotism and
laundering stupidity of one man-Ben.

Bombers and Borders

The thew order" of adjusting border disputes is being amply demonstrated in Europe. There Is another demonstration going on, however, of how to adjust bor- ders without either bombs or bonbast. It is in the Western Hemisphere. Peru has at last accepted, with some qualifications, true, but with evidence of sincerity, the offer of the United States, Argentina, and Brazil to help settle her 110-year dis pute with Ecuador over certain rich lands In the Amazon headwaters. The acrid dispute has teetered on the edge of war many times, and If 1t can be thus amicably settled with brains instead of bombs, one more good example will have been set.
 The U. S.-Canadian border, once sub ject of dispute that led to the edge of war, has not yet finally been settled. Ger tain surveys are even today being made along the Minnesota Canada border to de- termine the allegiance of more than 100 small islands. Thus quietly the Western World way makes progress-brains in- stead of bombs.

Read and Take Heart!

So everybody is selfish, eh? Every body is out to get all he can out of the national defense situation? No, not everybody. Perhaps you haven't read about the instrument builders of the Long Island Plant of the Sperry Cor poration. These are highly skilled men linen whom it would be difficult, per- haps impossible, to replace. The usual means of holding down hours, that IS, hiring more men, doesn't work in their case There just aren't any more men available with the proper skill in their delicate work on precision instruments So 200 of them have been working 60 hours a week, and 1900 more face an increase from 40 to so hours
 Are they sore about 1t? No. Frank Craig, president of the United Instrument Workers, their C. | O. union, says the workers are 100 per cent behind the de- fense effort. He is cooperating in movement to give up their annual two weeks vacation, and thinks 85 per cent of the men will follow his own lead in doing so. True, these men are being, and will be, well paid for their extra work. But money cannot compensate them entirely. For three months this winter these men worked from 8:30 e. m. to 7:30 p. m. three days week and from 0:30 to 5:S0

the other three. They arrived home every night in such state of exhaustion that they had to tumble directly into bed.
 It Is doubtful whether the highest pro- duction is obtained with such hours, except in cases like this one, where no more trainer workers are ready to step to the benches. Money can't pay for effort like this. The pay comes in satis- faction in having done what was right; in having contributed very definitely and at some sacrifice to the defense of our country
 Similarly, another story comes to mind. Carl G. Swebilius, blue-eyed Swede with a fine eye for gun, bought New Haven vacant lot. In 90 days he had built a 15-acre factory, equipped 1t with second hand machinery he picked up here and there all over the country and rebuilt, gathered up lot of former employees of World War days, and Is now turning out 50-caliber machine guns in thousand lots. Army officers called 1t miracle, but Swebilius did it.
 He, too, one presumes, will make money out of his venture. But there is 8 satisfaction in 1t far beyond that - he has taken his abilities and given them freely to defense. There is talk Of sacri- flee. Too many have not yet caught the "all-out" spirit. But when you think of that too often, think of the instrument makers bending over their benches for 60 hours a week and giving up their vaca- tlons; think of Gus Swebilius turning out machine guns on junk lathes in plant which 90 days before was cemetery for rusting jaloppies.

Savings Bank Insurance

( With Connecticut now committed to savings bank life insurance, It's quite interesting to read that our entrance into this field makes us only the third state to attempt 1t. Massachusetts was the first and has permitted such insurance sales for the past 34 years. New York adopted such sales in 1039 In Massachusetts alone there is $200,000000 worth of life insurance in force, all sold through sav- ings banks. In New York State there has been about $13,000,000 worth of insurance sold.
 It is natural that New York should do in two years what 1t took 12 years to accomplish in our neighboring Bay State. The question is how rapidly and in what volume will Connecticut savings banks pile up sales. There are some people who don't like the idea and probably never will. There are others who like the idea, but don't think that it's going to work out the way it should. They think most of this insurance will be bought by eco- way of procuring life insurance cheaply The intent is to make insurance readily available for those in low income brackets. The limit on this type of in- surance here In Connecticut for any one Individual will be $3,000 This Is in con- trast with Massachusetts, limit of $25 900 which has been criticized from time to time but manages to hold out against the opposition. The field is apparently a fast-expanding one. Connecticut's entrance this year will very likely be a signal for other states to follow her example Incidentally the system starts here certainly during better times than 1t did in either New York (1939) or Massachusetts Q90T.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-05-23

Discussing reapportionment of election districts within the state the Hartford Courant says, "There are no constitu- tional restrictions on the establishment of new congressional districts where much inequality exists. A decade ago, Connecticut was given a sixth Repre- sentative in Congress. But for number of reasons the General Assembly has he's itated to create district for him and he is still elected at large. Hartford County is the largest district, with population in 1880 of some 450,000; the smallest IS the Fifth centering in Waterbury, which had fewer than 250,000 residents. .. :" It's true that something should be done about the congressional districts, but we feel sure the Legislature will adjourn and nothing be gained We're more hopeful of a senatorial revision which even out dates the congressional reapportionment need.

CORN LOBBY VS SUGAR LOBBY
TEST OF THE TREE BELT
tNew York sun)


 In 1884, when part of the West was 50 gripped by drought and plagued by dust storms that the area was referred to as the Dust Bowl, 1t was proposed that Q belt of trees be planted across the coun- try from north to south to remedy the situation. Such e belt, enthus- iastic advocates maintained, would promote rainfall, halt dust storms and render the plains cooler. Scof- fers were equally firm on the other side; none of these desirable ends would be attained, they insisted, as trees could not grow without rain fall, would not stop dust storms and and were too costly. Experience has shown that both sides were partly right.
 The main point is that the plan to plant a forest belt miles wide and extending from the Guf of Mexico to Canada was quietly abandoned as impractical. Instead an area in each of the dust-harass- cd States-Kansas. Oklahoma, Me- braska, Texas and the Dakotas--was mapped and the planting concen- trated in that area. It is true that the areas do roughly form a line across the United States, but htey are in no sense e line of trees, which are planted on any farm in the area. The Kansas shelter-belt area embraces the central half of the State. During the last six years approximately 20.000 900 trees have been planted in shelter-belts in Kanssa, with a survival of 0S per cent. Tn the six-state area, i57 ,O00.- GOO trees have been planted. the survival being placed at two-thirds. First plantings in Kansas have now attained the respectable height Of
