Pooling Of Services
In Public Health
Urged al Meeting
Adjustment Of Practices
To Meet Conditions
In Wartime Stressed

Public health services, weighed in
the balance of wartime needs and
the shortage of professional nurs-
ing and welfare personnel. must be
pooled and teamwork made the ma
tional and District goals, speakers
asserted yesterday at a joint lunch
con meeting of the Social Service
Exchange and the Health Division.
Council of Social Agencies, at the
Y. M. G. A.
ITO avoid duplication of effort and
waste of time and money, nurses
must clear their cases through the
exchange as a means Of meeting the
specific wartime needs of the COM
munity, it was emphasized
Summing up observations made by
five speakers, George st. John Per-
rott, health division chairman, said
he thought public welfare activities
deserve defense designation. Will
liam H. Sardo, jr., chairman OF the
Social Service Exchange, emphasized
the social agencies must analyze
wartime needs and adjust peacetime
relationships to the changed Dis
trict picture.
I.V. N. S. Executive Speaks.
Miss Gertrude Bowling. executive
director, Instructive Visiting Nurse
Society, said that public health
nurses cannot function to maximum
efficiency without utilizing the ex-
changes services" She added that
there is a positive relationship be-
tween good community health and
crime prevention.
Miss Nathalie Matthews of the
New York Welfare Council Research
and Statistics illustrated the con-
fusion arising from the lack OF
central clearing exchange in any To-
cality, by citing the experience OF
New York City In 1896. A study
there, she said, revealed 2,000. 900
names on relief agency lists of more
than the number of families in that
city. Now that the lists have been
pared and duplication avoided, the
speaker said, 1t remains to be seen
whether the social agencies follow
their own recommendations.
Cites Multiplied Appeals.
Miss Pearl McIvor, senior public
health nursing consultant, United
States Public Health Service, said
teamwork Is essential among social
agencies. The number of persons
who send identical letters to at least
five Government agencies Is simply
appalling" she said.
Miss Lena Waters. assistant d.
rector for military and naval vel
mare, American Red Cross, termed
the hospital community social
agency which cannot remain iso-
lated, but must discharge its re-
sponsibility by sharing its knowl-
edge and services with other social
agencies in q community" Infor-
nation of a confidential nature can
be exchanged and still treated as
confidential.
Mrs. Mary F. c. Leute, secretary,
Social Service Exchange of the Dis
trict Council of Social Agencies, said
the exchange can and should play
a part in defense efforts. Certainly
it must have a place in any COM
planning program, she
added. BY use of an Office teletype,
the Social Service Exchange here
can clear any case within three
minutes, 1t was said.

 Six crewmen were killed when a torpedo crashed into the engine room of the medium- sized cargo vessel Thirty-four members of the crew and 16 seamen who had been rescued from another torpedoed ship escaped in lifeboats.
 A 26-year- unidentified fourth officer from Wales, said the sub- marine surfaced and fired a second torpedo. The explosion broke the back of the ship. The bow and stern of the vessel heaved skyward, form ing a "V' before it sank. he said. The officer said the German U-boat commander spoke to survivors in broken English.
 A West Indian fishing schooner picked up the survivors 30 hours after the attack. They were landed at South American port and later were flown here.

 New Guinea Is Now MenaCed

Gen. MacArthur's Headquarters Australia, Nov. g -CUP)- Allied ground forces, including strong con- tingents of American infantry. con- verged on Buna, Japan's chief base on New Guinea's north shore, from two directions today.
 The arrival of American infantry in New Guinea by plane was dis closed by United Nations headquar- ters Saturday. It was revealed that for the past month, American doughboys have been participating in vast and secret fianking move ment against Buna, but were well to the east of the farthest point of ad- vance in the Allied drive across the rugged Owen Stanley mountains.
 Gen. e Douglas MacArthur's con- munique said today that Australian troops, who have battled their way across the Stanleys from Ioribaiwa only 32 miles north of Port Mores- by, still were receiving stiff re- sistance from the Japanese at Oivi approximately 50 miles south of Buna.
 It was disclosed that all of Papua the long, tapering peninsula that comprises the eastern half of New Guinea, now is in Allied hands. ex- cept from Japanese beach heads in the Buna-Gona area on the north shore.

ITALY RAIDED
 OVER WEEKEND

London, Nov. g - (UP0 = Brit ish and American bombers raided Italy and occupied France over the weekend while three unidentified planes attacked the British fortress of Gibraltar. ...
 The air ministry announced that Genoa had undergone its heaviest raid of the war Saturday night, presumably in support of the Amer ican invasion of North Africa and the pursuit of Rommel's forces by the British Eighth Army.
 (Radio Rome admitted that huge damage" had been caused at Ge- noa.)
 United States flying fortresses made daylight raids on Lille and Abbeville Sunday. Good results were observed at Lille, but heavy clouds over Abbeyille made observation diff ficult. Strong fighter opposition was encountered over both targets and continued until the bombers had re- turned across the Channel. A num- Der of German planes were reported shot down. One fortress and six es- ccrting Allied fighters were miss ing.

TWO MORE JAP
 SHIPS ARE HIT
Americans Await Further Naval Activity in SOuth-
 ern SOlOmOns

Washington, Nov. 9-(UP)-Amer- ican. forces on Guadalcanal today were on the alert for further oper- ations by Japanese warships in the solthern SolomonS after two enemy ships-a light cruiser and destroyer were hit and probably sunk in renewed air and sea engagements.
 Speedy American torpedo boats and long-ranging aircraft were cred ited with the newest victims in a Navy communique that emphasized that the upper hand of land fight ing on Guadalcanal still is held by marines and army troops.
 The enemy Warships were the first reported in the Southern Solomons since Secretary of The Navy Frank Knox disclosed some 10 days ago that the Japanese fleet had retired and American forces had won the first round" in the Solomons bat tie.
 Early Saturday morning (Solomons time), Navy torpedo boats surprised two enemy destroyers of Lunga Point, to the westward of the stra- tegic American-held Henderson air. drome, and were believed to have blasted one to the bottom.
 Later that afternoon, American airmen spotted an enemy surface unit of one cruiser and 10 destroyers some 150 miles north of Guadal- canal. Pressing home their attack in the face of Japanese planes that swarmed to protest the formation, the American planes badly damaged and possibly sank the cruiser and badly damaged one of the escorting destroyers. The attack cost the Japanese l2 planes and the Ameri- cans four.
 The Navy said American troops continued their offensive to the east of Henderson field and beyond Koli Point, near the scene of enemy landings early last week, without contracting the main body" of Jap anese troops.
 On Friday. the advance carried four miles beyond Koli Point and up to the banks of the Metapono river, the Navy said. The following day the offensive was continued. (Continued on Page D

R0MMEL MAY MAKE STAND
Last Effort Likely to Come at Bardia; Another
 Dunkirk Likely
Mai. Gen. Lloyd R. Fredendall
BY LEON KAY United Press Staff Correspondent

Cairo, Nov. g. CUP) - Marshal Erwin Rommels broken army near ed Bardia, in Libya, today in its flight from complete destruction, and the British believed he might try to rally his remaining forces-- 25,000 to 30,000 men--there for a stand.
 The battle of Egypt, complete and smashing success for the Allies, was over. Rommel, who had started with 140, 1000 men, had less than one fifth of them left, and even those were distintegrating as they fled in- to Italian Libya.
 Thirty thousand to 10000 of his men were prisoners. Other thou sands were killed or wounded, six divisions of Italians, approximately 10000 men, were ready to be cap- tured. The Allies had destroyed at least 500 of his tanks and 300 to 1000 of his guns.
 Swedish military experts believed that Rommel would hastily attempt to evacuate the remnants of his army to Europe.
 (Au Rommel's nope of escaping disaster have been dashed by Amer ican landings in North Africa, these experts said, and he realizes that unless he tries to escape to Europe soon, the eighth army will be so close upon him there will be Ger man. Italian Dunkirk).
 The Germans tried to fight de- laying action at Matruh, in Egypt, 12 miles east of the Libyan border. United Press Staff Correspondent Henry Gorrell watched German 88 NM. and mortar batteries on the es- exponent overlooking Matruh sur- render, one by one. The eighth army swamped the Germans and drove on west after the main force.
 A communique of the British mid dle eastern command today con- firmed battlefront dispatches of United Press Correspondents that the last Axis forces holding out at Matruh capitulated yesterday.
 Allied air striking forces relent- lessly pursued the remnants of Rom mel's army, the communique sad,

Director Claims COncIu= SiOns Drawn From Bull
 letin Erroneous"
Brig. Gen. James H. Doolittle

The Waterbury Taxpayers association was on record to- day as mot opposed to pay raises this year for city em- ployes", following a storm of protests by municipal em- ployes, with teachers leading the way, against a bulletin by the association Saturday which stated that "city em- ployes actually prospered by the depression. The aSSo- ciation went on record for pay in- creases in statement by Raymond P. Botch, managing director. How ever, 1t is believed that the Tax payers association favors only the $2O8 raise for all city employees, as proposed by the Board of Finance, rather than greater increases ad- Vocated by teachers, firemen and policemen. [
 (Mr. Botch stated that conclu- sions drawn from The Democrats exclusive report Saturday on the associations bulletin were utterly erroneous" but did not elaborate on this claim. He likewise said that the article had been "mis- leading" but did not say in what way. The Democrats article quot ed lengthy direct quotations from the associations own bulletin, whose implications were such that obvious inferences of lack of sym pathy for the city employees pleas could be. drawn9
 May Decide Tomorrow
 The Board of Finance may make a final decision on the pay raise question at a meeting tomorrow night. As stated in The Democrat Saturday. the associations bulletin took no definite stand on pay in- creases, but will be followed by an- other bulletin which does give the associations considered views.
 B0Iand's Statement
 J. Francis Roland, president of the Waterbury Teachers associa- ton, has issued the following statement:
 The article appearing in The Wa terbury Democrat Saturday after noon given out by the Taxpayers Association and discussing living costs, buying power, etc, from the year 1913 to the present time, elicited much comment throughout the city, especially among the city employers who are at the present time seeking a substantial raise for next year. The article did not state definitely the attitude of the Tax payers Association on the subject of pay raises for city employees. but stated that bulletin would follow later giving the position of this as- sociation in regard to the proposed
