Salem School Worry
 Becomes More Acute
War May Result in SeIeCfve Service Rooms Being
 Retained Despite OverCrOwding of Grades

Naugatuck, Dec. 2e,~-There is some speculation as to whether or not the war vii have any effect 0II tentative plans for relieving aG over- crowding situation 1n Salem school here. Early this month school board members had mentioned the pogsigiIity Of utilizing some rooms at the Beebs street school, now the selectiye service headquarters, to relieve oVercrowding 1n several grades at Salem school,
 But the war may affect this for 1t will mean tilatt he seiectiVe ser- vice headquarters will be more vital and may mean that more extensive use of this building for seIectivc service work will result, Some physical examinations have been held ofl the second floor Of this building and the first floor 1S utilized for the clerical staff.
 It seems doubtful that the board, in view Of the present state Of af- fairs, would want the seIectiVc ser- vice headquarters moved and t aiS0 seems doubtful that much space for school rooms would now be available there,
 Some wonder Wilettaer this will mean that tic board vii take the other method Of relieving overcrowd- ing at Salem school, that is es- tablish new district lines which would cause afl increase iil the Tliifp- Der Of pupils ct Hop Brook school
 The board has apparently felt that this is a political hot potato
 II is known there are children who five closer to Hop Brook school than they do to Salem school who at. tend Salem school Enrolment ii1 classes ct Hop Brook is generally very low af1d quite q number could De added there without any danger Of 0Vefcf0wdiflg,
 Whether g0r not the board I1efn- ters viii @lapge the district lines Sc as to cause increased atter- dance at Hop Brook school re. mains to De seen, This school is ti1e most recently built Of any Of the local public schools,
 The board is expected to get g petition from some Union City parents requesting that some grades la Hop Brook school, which gre now combined because attendance 1n the grades is small, be separated and given individual teachers,

NEW YORK, Oct. 18-N. B. c.
transcribed today broadcast by the
German radio in which the an
nouncer said, There is not single
true word in this made-up trumped-
up story about a German U-boat
allegedly having torpedoed the
American ship Kearny."
The United States Navy's an
nouncement of the attack yesterday
on the destroyer did not identify
the attacker.
Roosevelt has carefully and ma
liciously set the scene for such a
desirable incident" the Berlin radio
went on. according to N. B. c. In
this Jewish trickery, however, he
forgot the loquaciousness of his
companion henchman Knox, who
has always made it clear that he
and his Masonic friends look for
ward to such an incident as a de-
sirable casus belli."
The broadcaster continued with
further attacks on Secretary o1
Navy Knox, the President and Sec
retary of the Treasury Morgenthau
The German operated Paris
Mondial' Radio Station, in broad
cast heard by N. B. c.. said: ut is
by far more believable that the
American destroyer Kearny mutt
lated herself or was Intentionally
shot at by a British submarine OF
even by another American navaI
vessel, than that a German U-boat
torpedoed her without reason"
