ABSENTEE BALLOTS
 BEING RETURNED
Both Democrats, Republi- cans Attempting to Reach
 Men Now in Service

Almost half the Waterbury men in military service to whom appli- cations for absentee ballots for the city election were sent have rec turned their applications already, a survey showed today. About 200 absentee ballots have already been sent out or will go out within 24 hours.
 The Democratic town committee sent applications to about 500 men in the army, navy, marine corps and coast guard. It is estimated that about 1,5OO Waterburifsis are in the service, but the, other 1000 were either not registered as voters or their present addresses could not be learned.
 l, Republicans are understood to have sent out considerably fewer applications than did the Democrats.
 An act passed by the l94i Gen. eral Assembly allows absentee bal- loting in city elections for the first time. It applies only to those in the military service, not to civilians re- siding elsewhere but maintaining voting residence in the state.
 With the election still more than 10 days away 1t Is believed that sev- eral hundred men in the service will take advantage of the new law to take part in the election by means of absentee ballots.

WARNING GIVEN
 BY HEALTH DEPT.
Use of Chemicals in Sep- tic Tanks May Prove
 Injurious

The public should not be misled by extravagant claims attributed to the use of so-called septic tank and cesspool cleaners" ,lhch have ap- peared recently on the market warns the weekly bulletin of the State Department of Health. There is no substitute for regular clearl- ing and maintenance of private sewage disposal systems if good re- suits are to be secured.
 Chemical cesspool cleaners" may cut and dissolve grease but they will not dissolve many of the solids pres- ent in septic tangs, cesspolls or tile lines, the bulletin says. There use may afford some temporary relief from clogging. Necessary bacterial action Is destroyed for a time, how ever, and digestion of solids stopped If used frequently, they may reduce digestion to 6 serious extent.
 The frequency of cleaning a septic tank is governed by its size, design and the load of sewage discharged into it, according to the bulletin. Il is good plan to open tip new tank after about two years for cleaning Inspection will indicate if 1t is safe to wait for longer interval before the next cleaning.
 A septic tank serves to remove from flowing sewage @ considerable proportion of settleable and floating solids explains the bulletin. Bacter- ial action then digests some of these solids and converts them into gases and liquids that pass of in the septic tank overflow. Many of the solids, however, either change their composition very little in the tank or are transformed into solids of a different character. To remove them the tank must be cleaned periodi- cally.
 Lack of proper size, baffiing or cleaning causes ineffective operation of a septic tank and allows exces- sive escape of solids in the overflow As the overflow is odorous and con- tains large numbers of dangerous types of bacteria, 1t is conducted into underground cesspools or tile lines, If the escape of solids becomes ex- cessive, the cesspools and trenches clog and the life of the system is shortened.

Aluminium Shortage Imperils Soviet Efforts To ''Keep Elm Flying"

workmen are familiar with Ameri- can types of aircraft. Stalin per- Sona1ly takes Q keen interest in avia- ton. Me may have purged Russian designers but kes has not discarded American ideas or planes. Hts dive bombers include modified Yultees as well as improved Russian Chatos. Among his medium bCfnhers Is a new type of rebuilt Douglas DC-3 air- liner. His naval flyers have not cxiy Martins, Douglases and Vought-S Sikorslys, but Consolidated PBY flying boats resembling our navy's patrol bombers.
 2B,O0O PLANES,
 10,00O FIRST LINE
 Some say Russia's new heavy bombers match our flying Actresses with 300-mile speed, 3,TOO-mile range, two gun turrets and e good bomb load. Some giants have six motors. But Russian heavy -bomb- CTS generally have proven slow and disappointing. Not 80 their new recret fighters, I.10, 20 and 21. These planes, mounting two cannon and six machine guns, have revealed speds of $40 to plus 300 miles an hour.
 Today probably 26,OOo planes fly the Red Star-10,00 first line. By speeding up production after the Finnish war, Russia started to over- take the Luftwaffe. The D. s. s. R. was air-minded befort Germany. In 100f N0GAA HytA nRoRAVNa a fSATk HsH aSs Mems Flying association, began catching them early, fascinating young boys and girls with models and gliderS until twenty million have gone through 1,500 flying schools. It was the Ossoaviakhinl women who developed the parachute troop idea which Germany so successfully bor- rowed. And Russia still claims more parachutistS than Germany.
 The Red Air Force is well schooled. Every airman--pilot, observer, gtln- ner-can fly; every pilot can bomb.
 Civil aviation claims more airway mileage over RuSsia's vast spaces than 1t does even in this country. Transport planes and pilotss have gone to war, too. The planes fly am- intuition to guerrillas behind the Nazi lines. The peacetime Moscow Berlin pilots still fly Berlinward- now carrying with bombs.
 STRONGER IN AIR THAN IN FACTORIES
 But Russian aviation is stronger in tn eatr than in factories. It takes twice the number of workmen to do any given production job in Russia as 1t takes in Germany. And then the job is cruder. Though skilled workers have been reinforced by conscripted boys, and though recent American observers gre pleasantly surprised at factory conditions, out put was recently estimated at less than 8 thousand planes Q month only half ours for all OUT delays.
 Which helps explain what an alu- minum shortage would mean to Rus sia, not for today's battle alone but for the whole war. If Russia loses aluminium and her planes are grounded, then Germany will race east to gain oil.
 Oil is the blitziSreig fuel that to- day Is the Nazi war machines only crucial shortage.
