because it produces artificial inhal-

In a radio address to the Army
ON the reasons for extension OF Sc

Stimson said the Government real

tional service but was also consci-
GUS of the danger to the U. S. He
said "some of the most significant
symptoms. which invariably fore
casts the coming of a new Axis at
tack. are occurring in South
America. the most dangerous ev-
enue of attack against us"
The War Department announced
that unless the international situa-
ton becomes more serious it in
tends to release by December 10
approximately 100000 National
Guardsmen inducted last fall, TO-
900 selectees inducted last Novem-
ber and December, and 10000 Re-
serve officers. The releases will be
made upon application in accord
ance with the following priorities
Dependency and hardship, age of

marriage for those who have serv-
ed IL months. Men completing en-
listments will also be released on
request.
Aid to Britain, Russia, China
The President announced aircraft
ferry and air transport services to
West Africa and the Middle-East-
ern war zone to provide direct and
speedy delivery to "a critical point
in the front against aggression. 2"
The route will be so arranged that
it will not pass through the zone of
actual warfare, Mr.. Roosevelt said.
The President told his press con-
ference Russian needs fall into two
categories: (1) materials immedi-
ately available to help them in
their summer campaign; (2) ma
terials which will be available for
the spring campaign next year.
Russia will not get lend-lease aid,
the President said, because the So
viets have the necessary cash for
materials.
The Public Health Service an
nounced 16-member U. S. medic
al commission will go to China to
direct health measures for 250,00C

have gone to the British; the quota
of 81 anti-aircraft guns monthly is
being more than met; 160 37-mm.
anti-tank guns will be delivered in

will be made in August.
OPM Director Knudsen told a
press conference the rate of de-
fense progress is sufficient to pro-
vide adequate equipment for the
Army within six or seven months.
He predicted again the U. S. can
out-produuce any other nation but
said that the nation is still not
showing the correct spirit. Pro-
duction rather than shipping, he
said, is the greatest bottleneck in
u. S. aid to Britain.
War Under Secretary Patterson,
speaking at Syracuse, said the
Army will not have to resort to
broomsticks instead of weapons for
training because America is at
last pushing toward peak produc-
ton. Tooling up will soon be
over. Guns, tanks and planes are
coming in daily increasing num-
bers." He cited production increas-
es in the past six months: tanks
5000 percent; other vehicles, soc
percent; machine guns, 225 per-
cent; anti-aircraft guns, 400 per-
cent; smokeless powder, 400 per-
cent.

'TAX CHECK FOR
 S82,864 GIVEN
Fitzgerald Receives Sum From U. S. Rubber Com.
 pany This Morning

Naugatuck, July Si.-Tex Collec- tor James F. Fitzgerald has received the property tax check from the largest taxpayer here, the. U. s. Rubber company, 1t was learned to- day. The check this year amounts to S82,864.42, which includes $31,- 770.57 for the Naugatuck Chemical division of the U. s. Rubber. The check is larger this year than 1t was last July. This is for the July 1o- mill tax, based on the grand list of 1940.
 Tomorrow is the final day to pay taxes before interest charges are added, Mir. Fitzgerald said. He was kept busy today and the rush is expected to continue tomorrow. The collector again stressed that persons who wish to pay their tax should bring their tax bills with them, for if they don't do so, there may be a considerable delay as the records have to be checked to ascertain the tax.
 Mir. Fitzgerald also points out that the new tax oftice is in room 8 on the main floor of town hall. Some people have gone to the police department, thinking 1t was there because the collector is now occu- pying the former office of the police chief. But this is on the main floor.
 The interest charge this year will be per cent during August, 1t 1lav- ing been l.2 per cent last year.

U. s. Company Signs Contract to Manufacture Muni-
 tiOns at Ammunition Site in Des MOines, Iowa

F. B. Davis, Jr., president of Uni- ted States Rubber Company, today announced that upon invitation of the war department the company will manufacture munitions.
 His announcement followed re- ceipt of 8 contract frVm the ord- nance department for the designing, engineering, construction and oper- ation of a 3l million dollar small arms ammunition plant at Des Moines, Iowa.
 Making munitions will be a new activity for our company" MT. Da- wis said. :"For nearly 100 years we have devoted all our energies to making products that contribute to comfort. convenience, health and 8 better way of living of the people of the United States, and of many other parts of the world. We would prefer to continue producing pro- ducts of this kind exclusively.
 However, from the inception ot the defense program we have con- stantly placed our country's defense needs foremost. Today every one of our plants is turning out products for defense. And every day sees the amount of our production for de- fense steadily increasing.
 "Now, upon invitation of the war department, our company Is going to extend its activities into the arm anent field. We cheerfully accept tthis new assignment in the interest of further strengthening our coun- try's defense And although we re" gard these new duties as temporary, we will execute them with all the efficiency of management we have bene privileged to develop during our century of peacetime service"
 MT. Davis said that the Des Moines plant will be operated as a separate division of the comany, to
