RECLAIMED RAILS
 TOTAL L2,OOO TONS
Waterbury Provides 60 Tons of Amount Credited
 to Connecticut

In a recent report made to the War Production Board, Howard Staub, Administrator Work Projects Administration, indicated that to date a total of approximately 2,000 tons of abandoned street car rails have been removed from the high ways and streets throughout the State of Connecticut. MT. Staub also indicated that due to the re- cent step-up in this part of the program that approximately 1,500 tons of steel would be removed dur- ing the month of August and that this volume would be somewhat in- creased during the ensuing months.
 The towns in which it is estimated this tonnage is to be removed are Hartford, 750 tons New Haven, 75 tons; New Britain, 30 tons; Water bury, 60 tons; Bristol, 70 tons; Norwich, 200 tons; Greenwich, 30 tons; Wallingford, 75 tons; Stam- ford, 40 tons; Darien, 40 tons; Der by, 50 tons; Ansonia, 50 tons; and Manchester, 30 tons. Approximately 250 tons of this amount is in State highways, the removal of which is covered by a blanket project spon- sored by the State Highway Depart ment. Each municipality has con- tributed an amount at least equal to the salvage value of the rails to these projects and have been most cooperative in this undertaking.
 The removal of rails has become one of the most important projects of the WPA and the tonnage being removed is of the utmost import ance to the furthering of the war effort.

SUGAR ALLOTMENT
 TO BE INCREASED
Restaurants, Institution Users May Benefit By
 Additional lO%

Registration of commercial and institutional users for September and institutional users for Septem- Der and October sugar supplies con- tinued today at rationing board headquarters, 119 West Main street. Only about 30 applicants appeared at headquarters yesterday.
 A 10 per cent increase in allot- ments is being given. This allows restaurants 75 per cent of their normal amount and institutional users 80 per cent.
 With applications still coming in from housewives for special allot- ments for canning. the board has applied to Hartford for permission to handle such applications at the end of the month. The deadline was last Friday, but late applicants claim they were unable to appear in time.
 Registration for commercial and institutional users of sugar will con tinue all this week.

of it comes from British pilots who have natural pride in the aircraft produced by their own countrymen, but who in the same breath have mishandled American equipment most woefully, trying to remodel American ships to meet training they have already received, instead of learning to fly the ships as they are designed to be flown on mis- sions for which they are tactically suited.
 The last point is the most serious gripe which American aircraft builders have to make against the British. It has been partially cor rected now through the new ar- rangement whereby all American made planes are to be serviced and repaired by American crews working with the Royal Air Force.
 A large part of the confusion ex- isting in this consideration of rela- tive plane merits is in fact due to the tendency to compare the newest of the enemy planes with the oldest British or American planes that can be put against them.
 NEWEST ACTRESSES
 ARE NOT IN EUROPE
 In Flying Fortresses, for instance, only the B-17 models up through c and D have been sent to England thus far. Already in service in the Pacific, and coming up for England, are the E and F models, the fast est, toughest and most heavily armed bombers in the world, carry ing eight or more .50-not 80 or .3O3-calibre machine guns, many of them in power-operated turrets. When the British talk about the Flying F'ortresses being insufficient ly armed, they are simply talking ancient history, says Army Air Force men.
 Similarly, the P-40E, Kittyhawk has been souped up, and the P-40F, Warhawk, has the new and more powerful Rolls Royce Merlin xxx en- zine. Both these planes carry six 50 calibre guns firing at the rate of 48OO rounds per minute and the Kittyhawks have been tremendous ly successful in the Middle East, where they are used as attack bombers. They carry light bombs for their initial assault, coming in low and fast.
 Then, having laid their eggs and lightened their load, they take on fighter duty. It is the claim of the Curtiss company, substantiated by Army Air Force records, that the P-4O pursuit ships which have fought on every front in this pres ent war have inflicted four times as many losses on enemy planes as they have received.
 Again, the tail difficulty of the original Lockheed P-38 Lightnings has been corrected. These planes are now coming of production lines in quantity, and they are widely used on coastal patrol as well as for combat. It was the original Lock-
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-08-11

Ofs combat ships, the criticisms gun like this:
 The Bell P-39 Airaobra is slow over 15,O0O feet, it's cannon is too big, and it doesn't carry enough ma- chino guns.
 The Lockheed P-38 interceptor, called the Lightning in England, shakes its double-boom tail loose during certain aerobatics and must be glided out of a power dive, in- stead of being pulled out sharply as is the practice with other fighter planes.
 The Kittyhawk, P-4oD, is good at the 15,O00-foot level, but not above. GERMANS DESIGNED
 OUR NEW MUSTANG
 There is even criticism of the new est and latest model U. s. pursuit ship, the North American P-51, known in Great Britain as the Mus tang. This ship was designed by two former Messerschmitt aircraft builders who are now refugees in the United States.
 The Mustang Is single scatter, ull-IIlCUdl, 1OW-WA46 AhOAANPASSAS P0"- cred by an Allison liquid-cooled en- zine, and while 1t has been praised by R.AF. pilots for its speed, ma neuverability and fire power, the British still complain that it is not effective above certain altitude which military caution forbids nam ing.
 All this criticism of the planes that the United States has been able to send to Europe thus far consti- tutes challenge to American plane designers and manufacturers, but it is the contention of high U. s, Army Air Force officers that 3 great deal of this criticism can usually be traced to several principal yources.
 Some of it is simply German inspired propaganda. A large part

DISCUSS SETUP
 FOR CAMP AIGN
Tin Depot to Be Estab- Iished; Housewives to Be
 Enlisted in Appeal

Waterbury housewives can begin saving their tin cans and making them ready for the start of the per- manent statewide tin salvage cam- paign which will start soon. Ar engagements for local participation will be made at a meeting of the city salvage committee at p. m. tomorrow.
 Chairman J. Warren Upson of the salvage committee said that plans will be made to have Waterbury give 100 per cent cooperation to the drive. A tin depot will probably be set up here, to serve as a storage place for tin collected in this city and in nearby towns pending ship ment to mills and de-tinning plants.
 To prepare tin cans for salvage, both ends of the can should be re- moved. The inside should be thor oughly cleaned and the labels re- moved. The top and bottom should then be placed inside the can and the can should be stepped on. The cans should not be hattened out too much.
 Cans will be collected regularly from local household for salvage.

high attitudes, but 1t is considered the best bet for top honors as the most versatile ship of the war on specific, surprise attack jobs.
 NIGHT FIGHTER VERSION
 WINS PRAISE, TOO
 Another version of the APO that has won place for itself in Eng land is the Douglas Havoc, which has been modified for use as a night fighter. It has been painted black, its exhaust has been carefully screened, and 1t is given the tough job of trailing German bombers back to their bases, bouncing on them when they slow down to land, then making quick getaway. Many R. A. F. pilots have declared that they will not go up in anything except a Havoc for night combat.
 There are a number of U. S.. planes and engines on which full performance reports have not been made public. Notable among these are the Vultee Vengeance and Cur tiss SB2C dive bombers, as well as the North American P-51 Mustang and the Republic PAY Thunderbolt. All these new designs are promised as the fastest and most powerful fighting planes in the world, which is to be expected from the latest models.
 The problem is to get enough of them over there to do some good, instead of just creating talk.

Further Decline In
 Tuberculosis Cases
Mortality Rate in Connecticut Below National Aver age; 578 Deaths Reported in l94l; 1925 New Cases

Hartford, Aug. 11-Further decline in the tuberculosis death rate in 1S41 was announced here today by the Connecticut Tuberculosis asso- citation. Last year A persons died of tuberculosis for every 100000 population, compared with 46 in 1940.
 According to figures submitted by state departments of health, 59,17S persons died of tuberculosis in the United States last year and 105,714 new cases of the disease were re- ported.
 Connecticut was among the states showing rate far below the na- tional average, with 578 deaths re- ported, making its rate 33, and total of 1925 new cases was an- nounced.
 Arizona with I'll, has the highest tuberculosis death rate among the 48 states, with other high rates re- ported from District of Columbia 82; Tennessee, 79; Maryland, "A; Kentucky, 67; and New Mexico, 65
 The lowest death rate was re- ported from Utah, with 62 deaths or rate of II; followed by Wy oming, 13; Iowa, IS; Nebraska 15; Idaho, 16; North Dakota, IS; and New Hampshire, 21.
 Tn spite of the slight decrease over 194O, there is a slowing up in the downward trend, according to Prof. Ira. W. Hiscock, president of the Connecticut Tuberculosis asso- citation, who warned that, under wartime conditions, tuberculosis may show an increase, as 1t already has in warning countries in Europe
 Various theories have been of- fered to explain ths increase
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-08-11

abroad" Dr. Hiscock said. Among them are recreased resistance tc longer hours of work, strain, an xiety, inadequate diet, broken rest overcrowded homes, and shortage of medical and nursing personnel
 There Is every reason to believe that, as the war goes on, these fac tors will operate in this country un- less voluntary and public health au- thorities are able to use all of their resources"
 With the armed forces equipped for chest X-raying their men, Dr Hiscock believes that the program of the Connecticut Tuberculosis as sociation and all affiliated agencies should be concentrated on promot- ing health examinations among in- dustrial workers and educating the public to protect its own health.

for daylight assignments while the slower British bombers, carrying only 1903 calibre machine guns, can go out safely only at night unless they are heavily protected by fight CT planes.
 For the Consolidated B-24 bomb CT, a longer-ranged modern-designed heavy bomber, known in England as the Liberator, the British have not enough praise, calling it the finest military aircraft yet produced in America. It is true that the bomb load on the Fortress and Lib- orator is considerably less than the three British 4-engine heavy bomb
