fLlNT-Fasest growing Telephone City Of its size in America

Among the industrial centers working
night and day in the national emergency,
none is buster than Flint.
Ayear ago there were 81 500 telephones
in Flint. Now there are 38,5OO-a an in
crease of over p per cent. And telephone
growth is still climbing faster than in any
other American city of comparable size.
AS part of the soundly financed Bell
System, the Michigan Bell is enabled to
obtain capital funds with which to meet
that growth. The Company will spend
more than sl,OOO,OOO in Flint this year
The Wyandotte herald. (Wyandotte, Mich.) 1879-1943, 1941-08-22

for new equipment, cable lines, and an
addition to the Central Office building.
But Flint is only one of many places in
Michigan where such situations must he
met. 100000 is programmed to serve
camps, arsenals, factories, and others en-
gagged directly in defense work. And the
Company's total 1911 plant construction
program exceeds $4,000, 900.
The telephone has little part in almost
every National Defense effort. And
little part in every effort adds up to pretty
big figures.

 Nakano has considerable popular support and has been organizing his followers for several months along the lines of the Nazi Brown shirts.
 He said today that at times 1t be- came necessary for any country to resort to force to enforce its basic policies.
 we cannot ignore this crisis con- fronting uS," he continued. Under no circumstances can we allow the peace negotliations ct Washington to continue indefinitely because the United States and Britain, realizing ther inability to challenge Japan in East Asia ct present, are reSortlng to propaganda and intimidation in order to gain time to perfect the eneirclement of Japan. They do not want real Impeachment with Ja- pan."
 Public Disappointed
 Nakano said the Tojo government got Into office because Of the fail- ure of Washington negotiations un. der the government of Prince Funi- imaro Konoye. Advent of the Tojo cabinet, he said raised tho public spirit to near the explosion point" by expressing willingness to shoul- der full responsibility for JapanS destiny, The public, Nakano said, expected "hlitXkrieg actions without warning"
 "HISever, the government de- spatched Kurusu to Washington and now we are unable to grasp the governments' intention" Nakano said.
 Newspapers were almost as pessl- mlStic RS Nakano but they were somewhat more moderate In tone.

 Tokyo, Dec. 3 = (UP) .-- seigo Nakaro, pro-AxiS leader of the To- hokai Nationalist organization, at. tatcked the government for sending special envoy Saburo KuruSu to the United States woul dlnvlte japan'S downfall.
 Addressing . public gathering in Tokyo's great HiblyA hall Nnkano demanded that Japan resort to force, such as sinking American transports, in event tho United States refused to accept Japan'S terms for peace in the Far East, which include cessation of American aid to China.
 Against the Belllcose background provided by the meeting which Nakano addressed, the cabinet met under Premier Gen. Hideki Tojo and continued its discussion of the Washington conversations. Details were not discussed.
 Indicating that the government dad not expect any immediate break with the United States, the crack liner Tatutat Maru sailed on Dched- ule for Los Angeles, where 1t was expected to arrive Dec. l4 and pick up Japanese Nationals leaving the United States.

Report of Local Employ ment Bureau Indicates
 2O96 Drop in Month

A preclpitous drop in placements was reported today for the month of November by Mrs, Mary M Dew ey, manager of the Waterbury branch of the Connecticut State Employment Service,
 The figure for November, 734, reps resents Q falling off from october's 903 of nearly 20 per cent The de- crease Is more significant in view of the fact that placements for the three preceding months had main- tainGd 0 virtually uniform level,
 Almost the entire deficit Is eX- nlaiLed by the comparative figures for Industrial placements during the two months. Tn November, 2l4 per- sons received employment in local manufacturing plants, while in Oe- lober, 360 gained positions nj factor- es. Most of this, 1t was pointed out, may be attributed to the growing difficulty on the part of local eftre- preneurs to obtain materials essen- tial for production, owing to prior it.ss.
 Of last months placements, 209 were male, and Al, female,
 Also evideneing Q pesslmlstie rise were the number of claims filed for unemployment compensation, In November, l4 per cent more persons applied to the Bank street offices for compensation than had the pre- vious month.
 A breakdown of placements shows the following, exclusive of indus trial, commercial and professional, 13i in November, IA in october; service, 274 in November, 282 in Oc- tober; construction and farm, 60 in November, 90 in october.
 Registrations In November were 62o, compared with 75l the month before. These were divided into 295 male, and 334 female.
