LhJe yeSVSEuhy &AUSEklOVH NAty Sheriff Clayton A. Briotti served papers on the Hartford insurers, and shortly thereafter MT. Lynch filed the suit in the local court. Service on Mir. Leary was made ct his home on Frank street, where c copy of the writ was left with nneirl- bers of the family.
 There are four counts in the re- covery action, which in total lists over-expenditures of 92,236bi4.14 during a period of seven years, from 1881 through 1887.
 The suit charges in each of the four counts that on August 1o, lo40, the city's representatives made de- nands for payment of the full amount of each $26,000 bond but that "ti1e defendants have neglected and refused to make any payment to the plaintiff (the city," Tn addi. ton to the principal amount, there is now due the city interest from August 10, l940, according to the writ.
 The bonds were issued by the Maryland Casualty Company under the city's seal on February 20, 1880, January i3, 1882; January 6, 1884, and December l2, 1895, the writ says.
 Concerning the city plan to enter the Good Government Association action against Leary, MT. Lynch stated yesterday that the move was deemed advisable when 1t was shown shown that that group intends to turn over to the city all moneys recovered in the action.
 No objections have been made by counsel for the civic group, and 1t IS expected that once the case actu. ally comes to trial, the city will be- come the more prominently active plaintiff in the case.
 Neither civil action will be tried before court adjourns the latter part of June. MT. Lynch indicated that an examination of city records now impounded ct Hartford will be nee. essary to determine exact charges to be preferred against MT. Leary.
 A custodian may be appointed to facilitate these examinations, 1t was indicated Q few days ago by Judge Wynne, who stated that when e full accord between parties interested in their examination Is reached, he viii probably appoint the Clerk of Hartford Superior Court to the posi- ton.
 Corporal Counsel Lynch also stated yesterday that the city is contem- plating civil actions against other former city officials, but he refused to mention names.

 probable that this program will require transfers of naval strength from the Pacific to the Atlantic. II also is likely that protection oi American merchant shipping in the Red Sea will require naval, sea and air strength. To combat enemy ats tacks over, on and under the sea requires aircraft and heavily armed surface ships. The old system of using escort vessels of tho destroyer class if ineffective against these attacks"
 Conveys Not Answer
 Secretary of Navy Frank Knox and Chairman Walter F. George, D., Ca, Of the Senate foreign rela- tions committee already are on rec ord with statements that conveys probably are not the complete and final answer to the problem of sup- plying the British. And President Roosevelt has recommended the United States merchant marine to carrying aid to democracies through the open waters of the seven seas."
 Both Knox and Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson have denounced the neutrality act which forbids American ships to carry munitions through combat zones to the belli- gerent ports. Therefore, congress sional isolationists and some Trlen1- bers of Congress who 90 along with administration policy are para. phrasing c famous statement Of MT. Roosevelt's to read this way:
 "Repeal of the neutrality act would mean conveys, conveys mean shooting and shooting means war"
 "So the trial balloon twins are at It again." snapped Sen. D. Worth Clark, D., Ida. First Knox throws the ball and then stinson catches 1t and throws 1t back. It seems to me that this new drive demonstrates that the drive for conveys has failed and the administration Is trying Q new tack"
 Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, D., Mont. said:
 Apparently stimson and Knox disagree with the president with reference to neutrality because the president as well as practically every Democratic senator claimed that the passage of the neutrality act was one of the greatest achievements of the administration.
 "It is difficult for tho president to get the puhlic's sentiments and he apparently is relying on a few war makers like Knox and Stimson and q small cotcrie Of individuals who have never met Q payroll, never practised law and never faced an electorate, and who know less what public sentiment is in this country than any other group know of"
 Mir. Roosevelt has not committed himself on repeal of the neutrality act. Considerable time would be re. quired to get repealer through Congress-Tnore time, probably, than the administration would devote to such an effort without accompany ing 1t with other and more ii1n1e. diate moves to aid Great Britain.

 East Hartfrod, Conn, May a - (UP)-A terrific amount of re- scheduling and replanning" Is re. quired so that the aircraft industry can reach c peak production of 300 four-rnotor boynbers Q month, aS called for by the president, Merrill 0. Meigs, head of the office of pro- duction management aircraft pro- curement section said today.
 Meigs, completing G tour of the huge United Aircraft Corporation plant, said that everything aS now all out to produce four-i1aotor bombers," and that the "nain prob- lem now is switching some types to conform with this 60o.G-nonth bomber program.
 "A terrific amount of reschedul- Ing and replanning of types Is ne. cessary, including the abandonment of certain types and using those materials on the four-nlotor bonnb- CTS which are now SO essential"
 This course was decided upon at Washington, he said, because Of the "value of dropping more bombs on strategic points"
 The heavier bombers, according to Meigs, Twill be superior to any, thing in existence anywhere"
 The latest type bombing plane, he said, would be capable of an altitude of 10000 feet. He expected that max mum production would be reached sometime next year"
 Meigs said 1t was "the most heart ening thing to see the understand Ing on the part of industry for the necessity for haste and doing the impossibleS

 Meigs said the sending of air ob- servers to England to report on the performance of planes and their re- quirements, was "a lot of help" to the American aircraft industry, and "there Is . feeling we ought to do more of It."
