The pattern of the japanese plan
for subsection of the Far East has
become apparent.
It Is patent japanese naval COM
manders hope to prevent or delay
1unctrlre Of the combined fleets OF
the Allies. To this end, part Of
their operations aim at creating
hazards across the natural lines Of
fleet communication, while their
major thrusts seek the capture OF
the enemy shore establishments at
Singapore and Manila.
The sortie that established q
beach head at Miri. in Sarawak
adjoining British North Borneo, is
typical.
"Tollgate" Erected.
The line from Indo-China-held
by Japan-to BorneO constitutes the
"waist" of the South China Sea-
Control of both sides of the waist
gives Japan bases for shuttle relay
of planes and submarines over
waters which are the most direct
route to effect a juncture and
strengthening of the British, Amer
ican and Dutch Asiatic fleets.
In effect, it erects a "tollgate''
between the two great bases Of
Manila and Singapore, and the Al
Lied commanders can expect to pay
a heavier price in lost craft because
Of the thrust at Borneo.
There Is some evidence also
that Japan contemplates erecting
another plane-sub fence" from
North Borneo across the 12O0-mile
stretch to the Japanese base on
Palau, thus harassing an attempt
at juncture via the more circuitous
route.
At the same time the Japanese
are smashing at the shore points
on which Allied fleets depend. The
two major bases, of course. are OBJ
jects of great japanese offensives.
The land attacks that nullif1ed
Penang and Hong Kong are exam

larry strong points.
Japs' Ultimate Goal.
Manila and Singapore are primary
objectives for different reasons.
Manila menaces the long supply line
Japan must keep open to supply her
forces in the southern theater.
Squarely athwart the flank of that
lifeline, Manila can send out sub

leaves It's characteristic tell-tale mark on the projectile.
 Not all shooting crimes can be solved. One of the prize collec- tions in the FBI lab, therefore, is the Unidentified Ammunition Spec imen Mile. Here is e collection of the bullets found at unsolved crimes. The exhibits in this file are con- stantly checked against bullets fired from all guns received in the FBI lab. Whenever two of these strays may be fitted together, one more crime Is removed from the u1solved list.
 USE OF AUTO
 CRIME
 An entire book could be written on the use of the automobile in crime, and for that reason the auto has made necessary specialized re- search in crtminology. In Q hit- and-run case, glass fragments from smashed headlight or windshield, or even bits of paint scratched from the surface of car, have to be arl- alyzed and fit to the vehicle that played part in the accident.
 Bits of blood stain found on a fender have to be carefully removed and typed" to determine If they are human or animal. Tire tracks found at the scene of any crime can be preserved through moulage plas- ter casts, and defects in tread can be matched from these permanent records.
 The incriminating fingerprint Is now an old story, but 1t is no exag- geration to say that even a hair must be turned over and given It's due consideration as thread of evi- dence. Nearly 300 cases referred to the laboratory in one recent year submitted hair or bits of fiber as possible evidence. For comparison purposes, the lab keeps file of hair from all fur-b bearing animals, to say nothing of standard guide of 28 colors of human hair, including peroxide blonde.

 Mayor Vincent A. Scully an- 1iounced appointment of an advisory committee consisting of Democratic Town Chairman Maurice r. Tang ney, Republican Town Chairman Vernon L. Hall, Samuel Wolozin, chairman of the Socialist town com Hnittee; James Hartley and Joseph DeLuca of the Independent Demo- cratic party; Secretary Frank Green of the Chamber of Commerce; Miss Marion Hunt, chairman of the Women,s Defense Committee; and David Babson, Boy Scout executive.
 Named to the publicity committee by the mayor were Cornelius F. Maloney, managing editor of The Democrat; Raymond J. Fitzpatrick of The Democrat; William J. Slator of The Republican; Albert |. Martin of The American; James Parker of WATR; and E. Christy Hrk of VERY.
 The aluminium collection drive offers the political parties an op- portunity to work together for the common good, said Mayor Scully. He pointed out that party workers are well-accuainted with their dis tricts and will be able to arrange for most efficient coyerage.
 The campaign, the mayor said, offers an opportunity to submerge political differences and work to- gether for 6 common objective, the preservation of Americas democratic form of government.
 Housewives were warned by the mayor not to contribute useful aluminium utensils during the drive, since they would only have to be replaced by the purchase of new ones, thereby causing a further shortage. -
 collectors in each district will bring the aluminium to g nearby school or firehouse. Then 1t will be taken by truck to the main cole lection center at the City Hall.
 Watesbury's drive will start . week ahead of the national caHn- paign, due to the fact that the state American Legion convention will be in progress here the week of the 21st.
 Mayor scully will speak on the aluminium drive in two radio talks tonight, one over VERY at 6:30 and the other over WATR ct 6:45 o'clock. He has asked pastors of all churches to make announce snents about the campaign at Masses and services Sunday and has written to dozens of fraternal and civic groups asking their support.

|NO INTEREST IN
 | PRISON GUARDS
State Finding Difficulty in Obtaining Candidates
 for Positions

Hartford, July il -- The defense production boom in industries throughout Connecticut has drasti- cally reduced the number of appli- cants for jobs in the state service, Personnel Director Harry w. Marsh revealed today in extending the per- iod for receiving applications for salaried positions as prison guards.
 Seeking to obtain a list of uuali- fled men for guard work at the State Prison at Wethersfield and also ct the Cheshire Reformatory through an open competitive examination, the dearth of applicants has brought a two-week extension of the time. Applications will now close on July g and the written test will be held on August rather than on July 16 as was previously announced. The salary is from q, ,3e0 to $500.
 A further extension in age limi- tations has been made and applica- tions will now be accepted from men between the ages of 25 and 40. Birth or baptismal certificates showing the candidates have not passed their 41st birthday must accompany the application.
 The examination on August l will be open to men at least 5 feet 10 inches tall and not over feet 2 inches tall who have graduated from grammar school and have not had less than egiht years of full-time paid employment. Weight, vision and hearing should be normal and can- didates must be of good moral char acter.
 Applications may be secured from , any office of the State Employment Service or from the Personnel De- partment at the State Capitol in Hartford.

cops and robbers, though they've grown up into long pants? An- other one of Uncle Sam's lux uriously expensive playthings?
 Well, the peace officers, pros- ecutors and judges of America don't think so, and they point to number of cases that have been solved in the lab as proof of its usefulness.
 A short time ago, a spike was driven into an 1l000 volt cable at one of the navy yards. Exam nation showed that the cable had also been slightly damaged by an accidental hammer blow. A plaster cast was made of the dent which the hammer had made in the cable That cast, picking up every detail of the depression, revealed that the face of the hammer which struck the blow must have had a defect in 1t.
 The trick was then to examine ali the hammers used by work men / in the yard. The search narrowed down to two suspects. Confronted with this evidence, one of the suspects confessed.
 Take another recent case of sabotage, one in an airplane fac- tory. Here, on a factory inspec- ton, 1t was discovered that a fuel line had been cut at a threaded elbow in such a way that 1t would break shortly after takeoff.
 FBI agents were called in on this one, and their first act was to collect all the hack saw blades in the factory. There were 72 that might have been used to make a cut such as this, and all 72. with the damaged elbow, were sent to the Washington lab.
 The spectagraph was called into use here, and by its light rays and refractions, 1t was determined that there were flecks of metal, identical with the alloy of the fuel hne, on six of the blades. It then possible to narrow the suspects down to the men who had access to these six blades. And in cracking this case, the negative finding was made that this sabotage had nothing to do with the work of any foreign agent. It was purely grudge damage by 6 dissatisfied workman.
 ANALYSIS OF OIL AND
 FIREARMS COMMON
 One of the most interesting ex- aminations from the scientists view point, and one of the commonest that must be made in sabotage cases, is analysis of iubricating oil. Always, when a motor fails, one of the first questions asked Is whether teh oil had been tempered with. <
 Samples of oil are taken from crankcases. filters, feed lines and containers. Then, by a series of tests, 1t can be dtermined whether the oil was diluted, whether it was doctored with acid or alkaii. and by physical examination, the presence of emery or other abrasiyes can be detected.
 Firearms examinations. and the examination of bullets found at the scene Of any crime, provide the FBI labor with some Of its most interesting eases. and 6 whole sec ton is devoted 10 the study of baiIlstics and explosives.
 There are as many as ie0o0 die ierent typeg of shells made in the United States alone and a ccliec- ton of these. supplemented by hundreds more Of European make, serve as the reference library for the study Of comparative haillelics.
