SLOWER DRIVING
 AT NIGHT URGED
State Motorists Must Ace quire New Habits to Re-
 duce Accidents

Connecticut motorists must &C., quire new night driving habits if the number and seriousness of night traffic accidents are to be re- duced, the highway safety commits sion warns, pointing out that two out of every three traffic deaths in the state result from night ac- cidents.
 To slow down and to lower head light beams should be drivers in- stinctive reaction when he meets on-coming traffic at night, the com- mission advises. Only few drivers are in the habit of dimming their lights when passing. although such action is now required by law. Ap- parently even fewer drivers now take the precaution of slackening speed under the same conditions.
 Operators would do much to eliminate the irritation, confusion and fatigue now caused by headlight glare, if they would exercise com mon road courtesy by lowering the headlight beams when approaching and passing another vehicle. At the same time, the speed of the car should be lowered because of the reduced visibility produced by the dimming of the headlights. This would provide protection for pe- deStrians on the road and would assist materially in the statewide effort to reduce accidents.
 The serious night accident and the pedestrian accident problem go hand in hand, the commission notes. Well over half of all 1940 Connecti- cut traffic facilities were pedestrian fatalities, but what should strengthen all efforts to obtain safer conditions of night driving is the outstanding fact that four out of every five of those pedestrian fatal ities in Connecticut last year result ed from accidents that occurred at night.

Aldermen To Call
 For Bids On New Baldwin St. Bridge

Plans for . hearing Monday night by the bureau of assessment on benefits and damages for prop crty owners affected by plans for the construction of the new Bald- win street bridge were announced today, paving the way for a call for bids for work on the new structure. Unless property owners disagree with the amounts fixed by the bureau, 2 report will be ready for the board of alderman at it's March 3d meeting.
 Need for early replacement of the present iron and planking bridge across the Mad river has been urged for several years. Lack of a modern bridge on Baldwin street came into the limehght again as 8 result of charges made since the. fire apparatus crash of last Saturday that the bridge is unsafe for vehicles as large as the 18-tOn aerial ladder truck. The bridge is now posted with signs limiting loads to 10 tons.
 Members of the bureau of aS- sessments, Maurice F. Tangney. John POrzenheim and John Phelan will be called on Monday to as- seSs the benefits and damages for each property owner. If usual pro- cedure is followed, the amount al- lowed for damages vii equal the amount estimated for benefits.
 The city has allocated more than S9O,OOO for the building of a new bridge, the amount making up the balance in the bridge bond fund. The bond issue was fOated several years ago but the Baldwin street bridge was not built.

A Belgrade report that British forces had landed on the Greek Island of Lemnas, commanding the entrance to the Dardenelles, was regarded as evidence that Britain was taking every means of strength ening its position in view of the possibility of a German march into Bulgaria.
 It was believed also that British Empire forces were advancing stead fly on Tripol, capital of Libya, and that exciting news from that front might arrive at any time.
 Eden, former war secretary, and Dill are to bring empire com manders in chief and other author ities in the Near East in consulta- ton at Cairo, it was understood.
 Have All Reports
 They will have the reports of the high British army, navy and air forces who recently visited Turkey and inspected Turkeys defenses in the Bulgarian frontier area.
 It was believed that plans to co- ordinate all operations in Africa and the Aegean Sea area would be dis cussed, including greater aid to Greece - if Greece wants it = and aid to Turkey in any emergency which might confront it.
 Spokesmen here declined to dis cuss the Lemos Island report or the possibility that Britain might send an expeditionary force to Greece. The understanding here is that the government would do so only by invitation of Greece and that Greece has given no such invi- tation so far in fear that it might incite Germany to attack. But it was believed that if Germany only invaded Bulgaria to attack Greece, the Greek government might soon change its mind.
 Near Bulgarian Frontier
 The LemnoS Island report was that British forces were establishing a fortified naval and air base there. The island is less than 100 miles from the Bulgarian frontier and from Salonika and is within $50 miles of the heart of the Rumanian oil fields.
 Interest was rising in the British army operations in Libya. There had been no real news from the Libyon front for Il days. There was in creased expectation that the Army of the Nile might move on Tripoli, the last refuge of the shat tered Italian North African army. Conquest of the remainder of the Libyan coast would be calculated here to strengthen Franc, by put ting British Empire troops at the frontier of Tunisia, as well as give a body blow to Italy.
 Diplomats here were by no means positive that a German march into Bulgaria and Greece was certain, though they were prepared for one at any moment. They still believed that Germany might be feinting, and in the end might even attack Gi- braltar through Spain rather than Greece.
 Military quarters in London de- clined to comment on the Belgrade report that British troops had land- ed on Lemnos.
 The Germans at Belgrade obvi- ously are busy circulating such Stor- fes to see how the British react" it was said. Tt should be recalled that a few weeks ago Belgrade similarly and falsely reported that the British had landed on Lagosta in the Adri- atic."
