New York, July 23--(UP)-Brit- ish forces in Iceland will be with drawn as soon as the United States has. placed. enough men and equip- ment on the island to defend it, Thor Thors. Icelandic consul gen. eral here, said in letter to the United Press today.
 Noting that contradictory state- ments had been about the circum- stances of American occupation of Iceland, Thors said the agreement between his government and Great Britain included the following pro- visions:
 Great Britain promises to with draw from this country (Iceland) all her armed forces as soon as the transport of the United States forces is SO far advanced that their military strength is sufficient for the defense of the country. the de- lenses of the country while the ex- change is being effected never to be less than they are now"

Melbourne, Australia, July 23 = (UP)-Prime Minister Robert Cor don Menzies announced today that Horace Ratliffe and Max Thomas, hunger-striking Australian Com munists, would not be released from internment despite the plea that they were now for the war effort.
 These men before their arrest de- liberately attempted to hinder Aus tralia's war effort" Menzies said. This can not be tolerated.
 Now they say that Russia's en- try to the war has changed their opinions if not their hearts.
 'The government can not risk the country's war activities by &C., ceptipg the assurance of citizens who profess to change their minds with such facility but even now ap- parently have felt no sense of duty to their own country or to the cause for which the country ls fighting and It's sons are dying"

Rationing of clothing. cloth, and footwear started in England on June 1, 194l according to a letter received locally this week from res- idents of Derby. Enclosed with the letter was ration card, as well as e warning to the people that cheese allowances would be increased and butter decreased.
 Some idea of what hardships the English people are being subjected to may be seen in that the individ- ual is allowed now on ration only two ounces of butter. The cheese ration was raised from one to two ounces.
 It is interesting to note, though, fin the words of the letter from across the Atlantic the courage that Is ev- idently so characteristic of the en- tire civilian populace. There Is a calm fortitude in the face of any adversity that seems to indicate an eventual victory-no possibility Of failure or subjugation.
 The letter is dated June 9th and parts of it follow . .. -.
 I recieved your letter dated Jan. 1lth and I answered It in April but I have the feeling 1t has been lost. Anyway if you have received 1t and this letter is repitition of my last

MED|COS PLAN
 FOR DISASTER
Hartford County A S sn, Submits Preparedness
 Scheme To Col. Fisher

A plan for civilian disaster pre- parednesS to be included as a part of the general state defense pro- gram has been submitted to Colonel Samuel H. Fisher, state defense ad- ministrator by the Hartford County Medical Association,
 Prepared in printed form, the Medical Association Plan briefly shows the manner in which the phy- slcians, surgeons and nurses will CO., operate with the state and Hcal police in emergency areas,
 pr. Donald B. Wells, chairman of the Hartford County Medical Pre- paredness Committee of the Con- necticut State Medical society, says that the object of the plan is to supply immediate adequate, medical, hospital and nursing care to the vic- tins of any disaster with certainty and the least possible confusion. The plan, according to the medical aSso- citation, operates under the direction Of and as an integral part of the Plan for Civilian Preparedness of the Connecticut State Police. In the event of a disaster of such seri- ouSness that local institutions of communities cannot deal without 1t effectively, in their usual routine and the State Police are called in, the plan will become effective auto inatically to whatever extent may be necessary.
 Each hospital in Hartford County, according to the plan, is prepared to receive the maximum number of dis aster victims which the State Police and other authorities estimate may arrive unexpectedly at any time of the day or night. Each hospital Is also developing plans to evacuate both patients and victims in such numbers as may be necessary to pre- serve their effective function.
 Recognizing that organization of hospitals to meet possible dis aster Is an individual problem, the Hartford plan speaks only of the work being done by the staff Of each of the hospitals in Hartford County. The only common Genominator be- ing that each hospital Is prepared 10 utilize its personnel and facil- tiles to the utmost advantage for the victims of disaster and at the same time be prepared to assist Otker hospitals throughout the state with operating teams and material equipment.
 The Veterans Home Commission, 1t is disclosed in the plan, has placed all the facilities of the hospital and home at Rocky Hill at the disposal Of the State Defense Council the State Police and the directors Of the various civilian hospitals This action has established an invaluable reservoir, which will promptly ah- sorb an indefinite number of evac- ices from the civilian hospitals in Hartford County.
 The Hartford County Medical As- sociation outlines in it's plan the cooperation offered by the graduate purses of the state, who have or ganized on a county basis, the Visit Ing Nurses Association of Hartford Bounty and the American Red Gross.
 Hospitals listed as prepared to as- Sist in carrying out the plan includ- ed: The Hartford Hospital, St. Fran cis Hospital, Municipal Hospital, Mt. Sinai Hospital, New Britain Hospi- 4al, Bristol Hospital, Manchester Hospital and the Veterans Hospital at Rocky Hill

A very demonstrative audience leaped to It's feet and loudly ap- plauded the name of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh at last evenings rally of the America First Committee which met in the Elton Hotel ball. room. Over $50 people filled the seats In the ballroom.
 The three principal speakers un- leashed the most bitter attack against Americas participation in another world war that have ever been heard in this city. The three speeches were highly interesting and touching.
 Professor Cary F. Jacob of Smith College was the first speaker. Pro- lessor Jacob, who spent several years in Germany prior to the out break of the war accused the muni- tions manufacturers of fomenting the war and asserted that we here in America "are being subjected to the same kind of propaganda that the Germans were subjected to-"

one you will forgive me. 1 was de- lighted with your letter and 1 could imagine what Q nice party you had Xmas Day with all your own folk with you. Of course we in England had a very quiet time. We could do no entertaining with the food ration; we were at several parties, but we took our own sugar and butter with us. You can't do much on 8 oz. fat per person a week or l-2 lb of sugar and one shilling's worth of meat a week. What to get to make a dinner is the big problem as meat is very dear so your one shilling is coon gone. Timed salmon I have not seen for months and we shall not see any timed fruit until after the war but we still keep on living.
 Cloth rationing came as big surprise, but as 1t happened l had just bought new clothes and my hus- band 8 new suit. My husband is working II hours day and he has been working like that for the past twelve months. It is now beginning to tell on his health. He has weeks holiday in July, but 1t is not safe to go on the coast and all the country villages have got children from the big towns and from the coast towns, so we shall have to stay at home. In any case 1t is not safe to leave your homes in case any incendiary bombs were dropped.
 You have chance of saving your home If you were on the spot. No doubt you have read in your papers we have formed our own street fire watching parties. When there is an alert" on, men take turns to pa- trol the street until the "all-clear" goes which is very often hours later. We provide all our own equipment. such as stirrup pumps, ladders, sho- vels and rakes, sand and first-aid boxes. In case of incendiary bombs being dropped the men would blow a whistle and all the men would turn out
 This war has made people more friendly than before. We have all to help each other if bad times come, Since I last wrote to you we have had eight bombs drop very close to us. Houses were demolished, but glad to say no one was killed. My neigh bors' windows were blown out, but mine and Dads were all right. ,ye have been very lucky here to what other towns have had and I hope we shall continue so.
 "The American people have been very good in helping us in every way and the American people in this country work hard among the bomb- ed-out people, providing them with clothing and food sent from the U. s. A.
 My Dad keeps very well. He won't get up when there is an alert" He stays in bed and he is in an up- stairs room as well. He just pulls the sheets over his head when the guns are going. He says If he is to die with bomb he prefers to die in his bed
 You have a grand man as yoyr president, the same as we have in our Prime Minister. It Is no enviable job at the present time.
