 State Capitol, Hartford, May IA Warden Leo J. Brophy of Nauga- tuck conferred with legislative lead CTS at the Capitol yesterday after noon, presumably to check on re- ports that the bill increasing the minimum salary of the Naugatuck fro chief to $2,600 was being re- vived in the cities and boroughs committee. He is said to have re- ceived assurances that the bill will not come up during the closing weeks of the session.
 The present minimum salary is $2000, but the salary actually paid to Chief John J. Sheridan, former warden, is $200 over the minimum
 Early In the session a bill was in- troduced to raise the minimum from $2O00 to $2600 but 1t was with drawn before the date set fo ra pub- lie hearing. Ordinarily this would end the matter but for the past week there have been rumors that the bill was to be raised again in committee.

us. to Fly Air Army to Europe
 Within IS Months, Says Expert
Only Meons Of Achieving Balance Of Power To Win The Wor
Ny COL. HARRY A. TOULNnN, JR.

Ny COL. HARRY A. TOULNfIN, JR.
 Chicago - Special = The Uni- ted States is going to have to fly an air army to Europe within the next eighteen months to support Great Britain and carry tho war to the Axis powers. This startling state. l1lent by Colonel Harry A. Toulmin, Jr., is revealed in the forthcoming June issue of Flying and Popular Aviation magazine. "Only by this means" claims Colonel Toulmin, "can the democracies achieve the balance of power to win the war"
 Colonel Toulmia asserts that this army of the air is in the making, being readled for action sometime next year. He declares, America Is forging c new type of military wea. pon that will tip the scales to vic- tory for the Allies. When completed, we will have the greatest air strik- ing force ever assembled by @ fa- ton or 6 combination of nations. Properly controlled, 1t is our guar Rntee for personal liberty and the democratic way of life."
 Claiming that "this is not here- say" Colonel Toulmin discloses that the skeltaon for such c force Is al- ready evident in our defense plans. "Vitai parts of the machine are functioning with precision and acc curacy. These need only be COG ordinated," he adds, "and put into action"
 An outstanding military expert, Colonel Toulmin, In 10l7-18, was Assistant Secretary of the General Munitions Board of Council of Na- tional Defense; Q Captain in tho U. $. Army and executive of the Gun Division of Ordnance; and, in France, chief aircraft armament and later chief of the coordination staff and member of the strategic staff of the U. s.

 Predicting that we are going to send our air army Into Europe to strike back ct Germany and the Axis powers with the same lightning nechanized surprise attack that the Nazis used 50 successfully, Colonel Toulinin explains that the army will move in large transport planes across the Atlantic over the same routes that planes are now being ferried to the British. (See Map Colonel Toulmin says that accord. ing to conservative estimates 1t will take us until early l942 to get this air army prepared for action. By that time," he maintains, "the American Air Expeditionary Force will go to Europe, and with 1t carry the balance of power that is iieces- sary to win the war"
 Continuing, Colonel Toulmin ex- plains how our air army may strike. He says that with bases In Africa or the British Isles the American Air Army will prepare for It's attack either on German occupied France or the very heart of Germany itself.
 Thousands of fighter planes will clear the skies of enemy opposition, Hundreds of paraehutists will Do dropped to take over the airAelds whose protection has been dulled by the fighter planes. Then will come the heavier ships carrying troops, big guns and tanks, light ar- tillery and engineering and com- munication corps, munitions aiie staff coininanders"
 Charging that Germany is even more vulnerable to this type of war; fare than the countries she has cons quered, Colonel Touliflifi says that the Germans. unlike other races have never had war really brought to them. "1'hey are . people trained ln mass organization. They must be directed by leaders or they are lost, :"
 The military expert believes that an air army that strikes directly ct Nazi industrial cities would break Up German mass organization and change the course of the war tc victory for Britain,
 In the Flying and Popular Avia- ton article Colonel Toulnir points out exactly how we can create q balance of power that will mean victory for the democracieS. He says that 1t is probably the only way our aid can get quickly enough Even now 1t may have started toe iate."

The select group of readers knew that tho hare wasn't c rabbit, but was Q former schoolmate who had borrowed the name for his protec- ton.
 Szczebiotek subsribers who re- main in Europe have found 1t wise to adopt such names so that they can communicate with friends with- out exposing themselves or their families to danger. Most of them haven't been ainenable to the Nazi invasion of Poland and would be likely candidates for Gestapo inves- tigation if their identity and where- abouts were known.
 The newspaper that prints such news Is edited by Edmund Llikas- zewski, q music teacher in Brodhead high school. Behind his publication lies the strange story of the mutual affection of 50 Polish students that has endured despite the downfall of their homeland.
 Group Formed in 1936
 They were first brought together in 1886 when various Polish organi- zations in foreign countries offered scholarships so that they could go bac kto Warsaw and the country of their ancestors for 8 year of study. The students came from the United States, canada, Brazil, Argentina, Latvia, Lithuania, France, Dem mark, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Rumania, China and Australia.
 Lukaszewski, one of the chosen 30, described the year he and his classmates spent in Warsaw, devel- opilig strong friendships by way of their common Polish ancestry.
 We attended lectures on Polish culture, studying Polish ettnology, history and language" he explained. We trie dto get in that year the essence of Polish life of the day.
 "One thing we were not permit ted to do was see the military prep arations which the Poles were nlak- ing in fear of war with Germany, but we could feel the military ur- gency in the air"
 Acts on Postal Exchange
 With the end of the year, the 30 disbanded, most of them returning to their homes, others remaining in Poland. Lukaszewski soon becsnie an unofficial postal exchange for his classmates' mall. Anyone In.

OS DEATHS IN AUTO MISHAPS
State Takes Official Cog: nizance of Toll; April
 Sees Six Less Fatalities

During the first four months of the current year, ninety-three fatal accidents were caused in Connecti- cut, killing ninety-nlne persons, as compared with eighty-six fatal mis- haps for the same period last year with ninety-Six victims, according to Commissioner Michael A. Connor of the State Department of Motor Vehicles. Connecticut will not re- peat the le40 accomplishment of winning the Grand Award in the iO4i National Traffic Safety Con. test unless a definite improvement in fatal trafflc accident experience develops, commented the commits sioner yesterday.
 Tt is encouraging" stated Com. missioner Connor, ito note that six fewer persons were killed dur Ing April when twenty-three fatal crashes were recorded aS compared with twenty-five during April, 1o40. Perhaps traffic has started to iln- prove It's road performance, as the first three months of 1e4l are charged with an increase of nine accidents and nine victims, oil pee destrians.
 "If the day-fatal accident eXperi- ence for April had been as good as the dark hour record, Q remarkably tally would have been made. A re- duction of nine in night fatals was achieved and fifteen fewer persons killed. Daytime mishaps, however, increased from five to twelve and victims from Ave to fourteen as compared with April, 1e40. During the first four months of this year Sixty.see pedestrians have been killed as compared with fifty.five a year ago. The percentage of total fatalities is 67.7 this year as against 67.3 per cent last year"

 LukaszewskI has little to relate that IS cheerful. He tells how all of the teachers the student group knew in Warsaw have endured se- were hardships.
 On the brighter side, he reports that their Brazilian comrade oper- ates theater in his adopted coun- try, that the Chicago girl married an Argentine classmate and now leads Polish groups in that country, and that Met Kamienski escaped safely to his native Canada just be- fore the invasion of Poland.

End of Music
War Expected

New York, Feb. 20-UP-Nego-
tiations to end the radio music war
were expected today to develop
from the acceptance by the Amer
lean Society Of Composers, Authors
and Publishers Of consent decree
settling an antitrust suit against
IL.
The decree is believed to estab.
lish a tasis on which ASCAP, which
controls most of the songs written
in the past 50 years, could reach
an agreement with the major radio
networks which have not broadcast
ASCAP MUSIC since Jan. ] because
of dispute over fees.
ASCAP members meet tonight to
ratify the action taken yesterday by
their directors. The decree will be
filed Monday in federal court, which
will set a date for a public hear
ing. Ninety days sitter the hearing,
terms OF the decree become effec-
tive.
According to a digest OF the pro
visions announced by ASCAP. the
decree will prevent ASCAP from
acting as exclusive agent for its
members, who will be able to nego--
tate individually with users of
their music. However, members
must notify ASCAP in advance of
their negotiations and ASCAP will
collect the fees for the members.
