 New York, July 12-tUP)-scat- tered paragraphs containing scat- tered thoughts:
 Pete Reiser'S consecutive hitting streak ended at 1e games, but he still Is the best 9l00 ball player in the major leagues. That's all the sensational youngster cost the Brooklyn Dodgers, andw the best part of 1t is that he promises to get even better as he gees along. The only thing he hasn't done for the Dodgers this year is take tickets and for all ne knows he might be Q low ct that. He never tried.
 Carrying top weight of 124 pounds Our Boots starts in the Empire City handicap today. His showing ought to give pretty fair line on whether he has e chance to beat Whirlaway in the Arlington classic. Winter book favorite for the Ken- lucky Derby at one time, Our Boots BB4w saa sore disappointment In that race, but after ell he did beat Whirlaway once and that's more than most horses can claim. It was at Keeneland just before the derby. Remember?
 Thought for this week-If Billy Conn's new father n-law does beat him upas ne has threatened wouldn't that make Mir. Smith the logical challenger for the winner of the Joe Louis-Lou Nova match? This much is certain-Conn Is much more afraid of MT. Smith than he was of Louis.
 Down in Baltimore they think history can repeat itself 50 they will try to make @ pitcher out of third baseman Tom Hafey. That happened in Philadelphia one time when a so-so third .baseinan named Bucky Walters was turned into a pitcher and look at him now. Hafey has speed to burn and re- ports say he Is developing 8 good knuckler.
 Danger Ahead
 Lightweight Champion Lew Jen- kins had better quit fooling around with those motorcycles and get ready for a stiff defense of his title. A young Negro lightweight named Ray Robinson is comin galong like a house afire and it is only a ques- ton of time until he catches up with Jenkins. Robinson's hardest test comes July 2l at Philadelphia when hetakes on Sammy Angott, recognized lightweight champion of the National Boxiong association.
 4 friend on the west coast sends in glowing report about old Babe Herman, who used to delight major league fans by stealing second base while 1t was occupied by a team mate. He is tearing the cover off the ball, the report says, and so far has not been beaned by a high fly. The Babe probably will keep on playing ball somewhere until they have to send him up to the plate in q wheel chair, for he really can powder out extra base hits.
 If the National league race gets tight, the Cincinnati Reds are go- Ing to have Q great break on the schedule. They have a string Of home dates in September and VII. De playing on familiar ground be. fore friendly faces.

Improvements upon the telephone have not been the only products of the Bell Telephone Laboratories. pr. Jewett's associates have developed and given the world such important inventions as talking motion pie lures, the modern electrical phono. graph of high quality, transmits sion of pictures for long distances over telpehone wires, and the high speed cable.
 MOBILIZES
 FOR DEFENSE
 As president of the National Academy of Sciences, which is the highest elective offlce that Ameri- can scientists can give a colleague, Dr, levitt presides over the Senate of American science. Since the days of the first World War he has as- sisted the government In its appli- cation of science and research to the general welfare and defense. He is now @ member of the National Research Defense Committee.
 At 6l, Dr. Jewett is Q leading and active exponent of organized rec search on @ large scale, which is the modern equivalent of the lone inventor in the garret of 6 genera ton or two ago. Science develop ments that have remade so many industries in recent years would be impossible without teamwork in re- search such as is carried on in the laboratories of great industrial con- cerns.
 This method of research has di- rect application to our defense ef- fort, Dr. Jewett belives. While the modern war machine may not be as complex as the dial telephone, the same emthods of research mobiliza- ton and coordination can be used to create it. If a potential enemy marshals its forces by using care- fully built schedules like an effi- cient factory. Dr. Jewett feels strongly that our nation must match such efforts by even more effective research and production.

38, 900 Waterburians Share Hospital Plan
100000 in Connecticut Enrolled in Movement Within ! FOur-Year Period; 5000 New Members Monthly

New Haven, April { = Marking it's fourth anniversary, the Connecti- cut Plan For Hospital Care, Inc, disclosed today that over 10000 men, women and children are now sharing the benefits of membership in the non-profit organization.
 However, with new members being enrolled at the rate of 5000 per month and those already pro- tected being hospitalized at the rate of 1,600 per month, or one every 28 minutes = there was no time for Q birthday celebration.
 Tn April, 1887, the Plan began operations in New Haven. Today 1t offers worry-free hospital treat- ment to residents of practically every state community.
 Since It's inception, 260, 900 days of hospital care have been provided for 30,000 persons at a total cost of approximately $i,50o,000. Monthly expenditures for hoSpitalization of members representing 1000 firms now amount to $75,000, or $2,500 per day.
 Roughly, for each member requir- ing disqualification three new mem. bers are enrolled - the answer to the query, How does 1t work?"

 The total membership in the Hart- ford area is 5000, or 18 per cent of the population.
 The total membership in the Wa terbury area is 5000, or 36 per cent of the population.
 Now the ninth largest hospital serivce system in the United States, the Plan covers @ larger percentage of the population of the area served than any other in the country.

VOTE TRANSFER
 FOR GYMNASIUM
Finance Board Takes Ac- ton at Request of School
 Authorities

Transfers of funds to allow award of e contract for the construction of the Anderson school gymnasium and for purchase of Q new heavy duty truck for the street depart ment were voted yesterday by the board of finance.
 On recommendation of the board of education, @ transfer of $i7,000 from the school departments sal- ary item was approved. This sum is needed to allow award of the gymnasium contract, since the city budget has an appropriation of only S50,000 for the project and the low est bid submitted was far above that figure. Mayor Vincent A. Scully told the board that he believed the lowest bid, $64,4S2 was Q fair fig ure. The rest of the money trans- fered is needed for architects fees and electrical changes.
 A transfer of $e,505 was voted for the street department truck, on re- quest of the board of public works
 Both amounts transferred are to be replaced later in the year by sav- ings in the two departments on other items. ' Y
 City Treasurer Serge A. Belanger informed the finance commissioners thatt he city had balance of $898,761 on March 31. This was $6l 900 more than the city had on hand at the same date last year though $100,000 less was borrowed in anticipation of taxes this year
 Receipts for the city during March totalled $l46,5ll, most of the money com:Hy from tax collections. Dis- bursements amounted to $537, ,666.

 Fills Need
 Tt is generally agreed by hospital officials throughout the nation," he said, "that the Connecticut plan is the cheapest from the standpoint of dollars and cents and benefits re- ceived, and the rapid growth of group disqualification in this state seems accounted for by the fact that 1t has filled . health need of long standing for masses of working men and women and their families"

 Behind the telephone in your Nv- ing room or on your desk there is one of the most efficient and streamlined research organizations in the world. The man who for more than two decades has headed that great cradle of industry - the Bell Telephone Laboratories Is pr. Frank Baldwin Jewett.
 With the assistance of @ thorls- and and more physicists and engi- neers, Dr. Je ,ett has literally placed our ears in any far corner of the globe whenever we call the number. Alexander Graham Bells telephone has metamorphosed into an instru- ment that gives @ connection at the twirling of dial. It spans conti- nerfts and oceans.

 The dial telephone, product of Dr. Jewett's research factory" has been described by him as coming closer to stimulating the operation of an intelligent human being than any other structure created by man.
