We have been accused of delay on this bill, yet some time ago we rushed through Q bill to let the City of Waterbury ts- sue $2,000O00 in bonds to build a pipeline and enlarge it's water Sup- plies. Up to now not c spade has been put in the ground nor Q single bond sold"
 Representative Mahaney Speaks Representative Daniel J. Mahaney followed Representative Neill on the floor and said that he thought that the Democrats in the House had also worked hard for passage of the trade school bill. He thanked the members for passing the bill on be- half of the City of Waterbury and the towns that will be affected by 1t. He also expressed his thanks to Representative Sharpe for his in. terest in the matter.
 To make the bill effective now all that remains is the governors sig nature to the bill. It assures the city of S250,OO0 from the state, this money to be used for equipping aIlc stafilng the institution. The city it. self has been authorized to Issue SlO0 900 in bonds with which 1t will help to defray the cost of building the school.

 More Air.Borne Troops
 "The British have not been able to prevent other descents by air borne troops to reinforce the enemy and the weight of this attack has grown from day to day." 1t was stated.
 The British have sent reinforce mentS-both men and supplies-to Crete, 1t was added, but the Ger mans 50 far have not been able to land any endorsements or sup- plies by sea unless few small boats have slipped through the British naval screen.
 The Britisil-in contrast to Ger man claims of sinking 26 British warcraft and breaking British naval nomination of the eastern Mediter- ranean said they had lost by sinking the cruisers Gloucester and Fiji and the destroyers Juno, Grey. hound, Kelly and Kashmir. Two battleships and several other cruis- CTS were damaged but not seriously, 1t was said, while heavy losses were inflicted on Axis transports.
 "There is no question at present of c lull on Crete although Sunday pressure relaxed somewhat and few- CT troops were landed" authorita. tive quarters said.
 "One canont attempt to deny that the German penetration of our lines west of Canea Is serious but how serious depends upon whether we have been able to restore the situ- ation by counter-attack or how deep the penetration is.'
 Tanks On Landing
 It was said that there had been no authentic news that the Ger mans had been able to land tanks on Crete but reports from the mid- de east said Germany was massing air delivered tanks in the western part of Crete for new attack m an attempt to extend the area and depth of It's penetrations of the allied forces between the Melefini air- drome and Canea on the north coast.
 Authoritative quarters said there was no check on figures broadcast by the Ankara radio purporting to show that the Germans already had succeeded in landing 2b,ooo to 28000 troops on Crete.
 Reports from the middle east said the Germans on crete had been greatly strengthened offensively by the arrival of tanks.
 It was said that tanks of three tons and more there was one report that tanks weighing as much as eight tons had been landed were being flown across from the Peloponnesus peninsula of Greece for the attack.

Shake-up Of Generals
Seen as Warning TO
Field Commanders
Maj. Gen. Andrews Given
Key Place in Defense
Of Caribbean
BY NELSON M. SHEPARD.

ELSoN H..
Army field commanders who thus
far have escaped the official ak were
on notice today to make good or
forfeit their commands as result OF
generals from the Caribbean to the
mid-Pacific and affecting also four
Army corps.
The coming fall maneuvers, it was
said, will furnish the acid test of
field leadership in the Army and
yesterdays unexpected shifts in
commands are likely to be the fore
runner of others as the United States
forces reach their peak of training
At least one corps commander was
placed in a position of great respon-
sibility with the Caribbean forces,
but the others were given step
down. Prospective early retirements
were responsible for changes made
in the cases of several other generals,
but noticeable was the advancement
given three commanders of infantry
divisions.
otHtT ShdHScS L ldHHcu
Undersecretary of War Robert P.
Patterson said today the Shake-up
among the officers will, of course, be
followed by other changes eventual
ly. The changes ordered yesterday
were so widespread, he explained.
that they were not definitely tied
to the results of the recent Ten
nessee maneuvers. He indicated,
however. that several of the newly
promoted divisional commanders
had won their spurs in the field
maneuvers.
THE policy Is one of simply assign
ing general officers to duties which
it is believed they can perform more
effectively" he said.
The two most important changes
affected the Caribbean defense
command, highly fortified zone of
the Western Hemisphere defense,
and the command of the newly Gre
ated armored forces which fell to
younger man.
Andrews Given Post.
LII. Gen. Daniel Van VoorhlS. who
is only year from retirement next
october, relinquishes the Caribbean
defense command on September 10
to Maj. Gen. Frank M Andrews, now
commander of the air defenses in
the Caribbean area 1t was Gen.
Van Voorhis who was largely re-
sponsible for the initiation of the
work in fortifying this vital area
that includes number of the newly
acquired British sea bases.
In the defense of the Caribbean.
air power is the most important fac
tor SO far as the Army is concerned.
For that reason, under new policy
invoked by Gen George C. Marshall,
chief of staff. it is essential to place
an air officer in command. Such
was done recently at the Newfound-
land base. In other words, the De-
partment explained. the branch of
the service having the predominant
ing influence in either defense or
Evening star., 1941-07-17

attack, should be given overall
command of the area.
Gen Van Voorhis will spend the
year before his retirement as COM
mander of the 5th Corps Area with
headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio
1t is primarily an administrative job
There he succeeds Maj. Gen
Clement A. Trott, who reaches re-
tirement age this winter.
The new chief of the armored
forces, Maj. Gen. Jacob L. Devers, is
the 53-year-old commander of the
9th Division and youngest of the
generals affected in the widespread
shake-up. He succeeds the veteran
Maj. Gen. Adna r. Chaffee, regarded
by most as the father" of the tank
forces.
Gen. Chaffee, who is Sc. has had
year of illness that deprived him
of his important command during
long period. He had recovered
sufficiently to be returned to duty
several months ago but now his
health prevents him from continu-
ing in such a strenuous capacity
He has not been reassigned. The
change in commands is effective
August l.
Another Caribbean shift involves
Maj. Gen. Sanderford Jarman, coast

Wilmington, Del. The change de-
prives Gen. Pratt of one of the most
important field commands and gives
him an administrative job. The
Sd Corps Area embraces the Dis.
trict. Maryland, Virginia and part
of Pennsylvania.
Other Army corps changes involve
the shift of three divisional COM
manders who have proven them
selves fit for broader Responsible
ties in the field.
Thompson to 1st Army Corps.
Maj. Gen. Charles P. Thompson
So, commander of the Sd Division
is assigned to fill the vacancy in
the command Of the 1st Army
Corps caused by Gen. Shedd's trans
fer to the Caribbean defense COM
mand.
The 4th Division commander
Maj. Gen. Lloyd r. Frendendall, is
to take Gen. Pratt's place as head
Of the I'd Army Corps. The 4th
Division is the Armys completely
mechanized infantry outfit, used to
demonstrate tactics for officers at
tending the Infantry School at Fort
Benning, Ga.
Maj. Gen. Joseph w. Stillwell,
Evening star., 1941-07-17

commanding the 7th Division, is to
head the Sd Army Corps, with head
quarters at Monterey, Calf. There
he succeeds Maj. Gen. Walter K.
Wilson, who will be transferred
July rs to command the West Coast
defenses.
A shift also occurs in the COM
mand of the 9Th Corps Area, Chi
cago. Its commander, Maj. Gen.
Charles H. Bonesteel, is being as
signed July 20 to field duty as COM
mander of the 5th Division. That
divisions commander, 60-year- old
Maj. Gen. Joseph M. Cummins, is
being given the younger Gen. Bone
steels administrative job.

The average factory delivered
price per car has risen from
1888 for 1910 TO 1893 for the
first six months of 1941 This
trend will be more marked as
the higher prices now going into
effect on the 1912 models make
themselves felt in the coming
months.
The dollar volume for the
first half of 1871 is greater than
for the entire year 1888. when
IT totaled 81, 1874 100000. Volume
for the second half of 1941 will
drop sharply with the curtail-
ment in production. but even

Auto
Chevrolet Display
Shows Public Interest
In New Car Models
BY sILER FREEMAN

II there was any doubt about
the public interest in new
models, il was answered when
the Chevrolet line for 1912 went
on display in the General Motors
Building lobby. The lobby was
thronged with hundreds who
came TO see the unique display.
Wires from all over the coun-
try, received by William f.
Holler. general sales manager of
Chevrolet. indicated the same
response from motorists in all
sections. AS in past years, no
Chevrolets were shown any
where until all dealers were
supplied and could show the
new models simultaneously.
In the GIN display, the new
cars were presented against a
background of patriotic colors.
Photo-murals depicting Chevro-
let manufacturing scenes and
illustrating the scope OF Chevro-
let's defense undertakings
rounded out the display. The
exhibit will continue throughout
the week.

Profit Tax Plan
Held impractical
BY LEWIS HANEY

Professor Of Economics, ~. y. University
Last week, the warnings given
in this column during the past
three weeks proved TO have beer
amply justified by the reaction In
the stock market. This was the
most considerable setback since
last April, though il was ap-
preached in some respects in the
early part Of August.
One Of the most important
points to consider is whether the
markets reaction was caused by
the Morgenthau chatter about
taxing all profits over 6 per cent
on capital. 1t is the writer's
opinion that such is not the case
The markets decline is not to be
explained by any such news" any
more than the one-day squirt and
reaction in the preceding week
Mr.. Morgenthau's observations
about taxation merely touched of
a move that was bound to come
and which would have come sooner
or later.
Anyhow, his remarks constituted
a mere threat. There is no bill ia
consider yet. Probably il will be a
long while before there is one
Thus the episode shows how easy
IL had become TO cause such a re-
action.
