Teamwork Will Decide
Any War in Future
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CAMDEN, S. c., Nov. 8.-The
armies of other nations are taking
q leaf from Uncle Sans book.
Cooperation between the air and
ground forces-considered an out
standing factor in the success of
German arms-has been developed
by the United States Army so thai
others now learn from America.
Mai. Gen. Herbert A. Dargue said
here today.
He is the commander of the 1st
Air Force, which has the task Of
protecting the vital Northeast.
This teamwork, he said, will be
the deciding factor in any war of
the future, and the Army has striven
with that goal always in mind.
Ends Nation Wide Tour.
To further this aim of combina-
ton of effort, Gen. Dargue, who has
lust ended a Nation wide tour OF
airplane factories and bases, sug-
gested a regular schedule Of large
scale exercises like those in the
Carolinas with the armies in the
field at least four months OF the
year.
ut would top of training in home
stations" he said. "It would be the
greatest thing for morale. Playing
at war, with the competitive spirit 1t
brings. is the best way to impress
the value of constant training grind
in little things"
Tersely summarizing his inspec-
ton of airplane plants, Gen. Dargue
said in an interview:
The enormous amount OF pro-
duction that is going to pop on
this world soon, makes your heart
feel good.
1--WE already have reached q pro-
duction rate of so per cent OF the
Presidents goal-5o, 900 planes a
year.
Practical Experience.
'Bv maneuvers such as these we
are teaching our soldiers-on the
ground and in the air-how to get
the most out of these tools OF de-
fenSe.
by the end of this month each
OF the Nations four armies will
have had intensive training with
portions of our new air force"
During the Louisiana maneuverk
IN September Gen. Dargue COM
manded the Sd Air Task Force. Al
most 400 planes, it was a complete
but small representative OF the COM
bat craft that would support an
army in the field.
I'VE went down there as novices,
now we have the experts of friendly
nations coming to see how we do
it." Gen. Dargue said. Russian,
British. Canadian and Latin Ameri-
can observers have watched the ma
neuvers.

.STALEMATE IN
 EUROPEAN WAR
Dr. Ethan COItOn Believes Nazi May Control COn=
 tinentaI Europe

Dr. Ethan Colton, speaking at lecture in the Waterbury Woman's club auditorium last night, asserted that the best Germany could hope for in her struggle with England would be a stalemate and a sub sequent peace giving the Nazi con- trol of continental Europe outside of Soviet Russia.
 Dr. Cotton asserted that from his observations Germany was better prepared to resist England's block ade than she was in the last war. The most important materials need ed by Germany which she may ulti- mately lack in a long drawn out war are coal and oil. However, in the matter of other war materials. such as arms and machinery, Dr. Colton asserted that Germany cap- tured more of these materials in the conquest of Poland and France than she expended in the effort.
 England probably will not be in- vaded, continued the speaker, and Germany's ally Italy is proving her. self very vulnerable.
 A half hour question period fol- lowed the talk. Dr. Colton was in- troduced by William Harris, direc- tor of the Lincoln House.

that, during the campaign, Morris told a high-ranking Democrat that he was voting for Gov. Bald win and Wendell L. Willhie.
 When the election was over, Morris was said to have indicated to the same Democrat that he was only fOoling in his campaign statement.
 However, the axe is said to be hanging over Morris head.
 Secretary of State Mrs. Chase Going Woodhouse is all set to ap- point a research director in her office who will have as sole duties the study and compilation of elec- tion laws.
 A slash in the salary of the deputy secretary of state may be made to permit the hiring of the research expert. Miss Margaret Connors, Fairfield, will assume the deputys job on February 1, although Mrs. WoodhouSe will not make a formal announcement of CIlC dppOuItl1leuC.
 There has been a great under cover battle over this job in Dem ocratic party circles. Former Dep uty J. Walter Darly made los ing fight for the post, but he prob ably will be taken care of else where.
 Former State Athletic COmmis- SiOner Joseph H. LawlOr, D, Wa terbury, is a definite candidate for the job again, providing Commis- siOner Frank COskey is not reap pointed. However, there doesn't seem to be much support for Joe from his home territory. Reports from there say George Mulligan and Patsy Brown, Waterbury Democrats, also are out for the job.
 Don't be surprised at all if a peace" is achieved between the two factions of the Democratic party-the Gov Hurley group and the other headed by former State Chairman J. Francis Smith and U. s. Senator Francis T. Maloney. One meeting already has been held by these leaders regarding party harmony. One of the things which probably came up was the breaking of the jam regarding appointment of federal judge.

NOLLES GRANTED
 WATERBURY PAIR
Joseph Young, ST., and DOminick Martinelli
 Freed in ThOmastOn

Thomaston, Jan. 16.-Nolles, with out costs, were granted in local court last night by Trial Justice Ralph H. North in the cases of Joseph Young, ST., of North Main street and Domenick MartineLi of Wa terbury. each of whom pleaded not guilty to violation of rules of the road. Martinelh was represented by Atty William Lawlor of Water bury. Representing Young was Atty. William Jones of Waterbury.
 The appearance of the accused men in court was the result of an accident on North Main street about 7:30 a. m., Jan. 1 when cars driv- en by each were in collision. Ac- cording to testimony of Officer AL bert Golden, Young backed his car from the driveway of the Klein home. It was on the right hand side of the highway headed south, when he investigated the accident while the Martinuell vehicle was about 50 feet beyond, also headed south.
 Both cars were somewhat dam aged. Witnesses in. the case were Mrs. Joseph Young, wife of the To- cal driver, and their son, Eugene. Members of the Young family main tained MT. Young had backed from the driveway and was parked on the main street when his car was struck by the Martinelli machine. Martinelli claimed the Young car was in the act of backing from the driveway as he rounded a nearby curve. The curve of the road, he said, made it impossible for him to see the car in time to avoid an accident, although he claimed to have made an effort to do so. : In summing up the case, Prose- cutor William E. Bumstead pointed out that in his opinion neither driver was deliberately guilty of causing the accident, and since it was case of "fifty-fifty", he recom- mended nolles for each.

 It said that in "thiS grandiose task of its own" - aiding Britain primarily and the other democra- cies generally - the United States includes even Asia and Australia in it's sphere of activity and under takes to extend assistance to China and Greece as well"

 Hartford, Conn, Jan. 16.-CUP) Qualified Democrats and Re- publicans in the General Assem- bly, are certain the major issue to come before the Legislature this session will be public utilities reform.
 For years past, the state gov- ernment has followed hands of" policy as regards utilities. J. Henry Roraback was utilities magnate, and for more than a quarter century, while boss of the Republican party, guarded their interests.
 Now, for the first time, Gov. Robert A. Hurley plans an as- sault on the utilities stronghold which may become the big strug- gle of the current legislative ses- sion.
 And, more than that, there may be succeeding action as regards insurance companies and banks.
 Here is what is planned by the Administration regarding utilities:
 l. Action regarding their tax payments: It is reported that land and buildings owned by some util- ity companies have been under assessed, and that their tax pay ments were much lower than they should be.
 2. An assault on the sO-called fiat rate: Books of the utilities are to be opened to discover their expenses and income so that proper rate structure" can, be set up.
 3. Expansion of rural electrifica- ton: It is reported that because of high charges by utilities, rural identification is being held up. Unofficial figures show that utilities are charging $50 for the erection of pole, while it costs them less than S8 to erect and maintain one. It is said. too, that a charge of S25CO is made for a mile of wire, while it costs the utility about S30Q
 4. Some action also may be taken regarding the retail sales by utilities of electrical products, in which they are in direct com petition with private stores. Utili- ties do not pay retail taxes for these sales, while stores do.
 Then there are Gov. Hurley's inaugural recommendations re- garding the easing of statutory bars against municipal ownership of public utilities. Gov. Hurley probably will make two new ap- pointmentS to the State Public Utilities Commission. For a while, report was current of one Dem ocrat and one Republican to ease the confirmation of the appoint ments in the Republican-con trolled House.
 However, responsible Democrats say there will be no deal" as the appointment of Republican still would give that party control of the commission, two to one.
 Jobs: Add to the list of cOm- missioners who may fall by the wayside when Gov. Hurley makes his appointments-State AerOnau- tics Commissioner Charles l.. Morris, NewtOwn Democrat.

 America again announces war challenge to Axis of three powers, headlined Nichi Nichi.
 Unofficial commentators in diplo- matic quarters said that the United States, not Japan, sought to dom- mate the Pacific.
 The foreign office regarded Sec retary HulPs statement as so 1m- portant that they declined to com ment on it pending receipt of ott1- cial dispatches from the embassy at Washington.
 Speed Up Say Editors
 Newspapers in editorials combined with their demand for full prepara- tion for developments, a demand that Japan speed negotiations with the Netherlands East Indies to thwart alleged Anglo-American at tempts to disrupt Japan's program in the South Seas.
 Their line of argument, in edi- torials ia sort which are often officially inspired, was that the United States in its lease-lend leg islation proposed to abandon its neutrality and aid all democracies against all totalitarian nations at a time when Japan had just linked itself with Germany and Italy.

Phi Beta Sorority Has Job
In tennessee Mountains
Hsndiersft Of Older

Paying Dividends in Spite
OF Depression
7 IKE the story Of the self
II sustaining and independent
Amish farmers Of Pennsylvania,
there comes a narrative from
the mountains of Tennessee TO
emphasize the fact that the
hand is an able instrument with
almost unlimited possibilities.
The story deals with q settle
ment school on the edge OF
Great Smoky Mountain national
park conducted by the national
Phi Beta Phi sorority. How the
settlement started is a long and
involved story but that is not
50 important as the results that
have been accomplished in a few
years. 1t also is important to
understand that these Tennes-
see mountain folks don't know
that the country is just begin
ming to emerge from its worst
depression.
Chief reason the depression
had no effect on them Is that
for generations they have been
getting their food from the soil
and making with their hands
from the material Immediately
available other things they re-
quired. They have lived much
like the people Of Bible times.
Phi Beta Phi has taken this
ability at handwork and capital
ized II. and it's paying big
dividends.
Though there are some frame
houses in this particular area,
most Of the families live in log
houses made entirely with hand
tools. They used wooden pegs
for nails. The roofs are covered
with hand split shingles. The
