U. 5. General Opposed
For Allied Leader
By Lord Winterton
All American Officers
Too inexperienced in
Present War, He Says
BY HELEN KIRKPATRICK,

BY HELEN KIRKPATRICK,
Foreign Correspondent OF The Star and
Chicago Daily News.
LONDON, July 29.-The sugges-
ton that an American general will
be appointed to be the Allied SUI
preme commander called forth
further comment today, this time
from Earl Winterton, Conservative
member of Parliament, former
cabinet minister and acting un-
official opposition leader.
Lord Winterton today commends
the London Daily Mirror for a
great service to the nation and
the Allies by drawing attention to
the rumor, too widely spread to be
disregarded, that the appointment
of United States of America gen.
eralissimo of Allied land forces is
contemplated
Lord Winterton writes: II have
been to the United States of America
many times; was there on a British
government mission early in this
war. No one could like that great
country and its people more than I
do. But this supremely important
question of an Allied general in
chief must be decided on military
and not political grounds. AS the
Daily Mirror points out not single
United States general has had any
experience handling large bodies of
troops in this war.
However good all or any of these
may eventually prove to be it would
be counting disaster to appoint an
untried man when we, the Poles and
the Free French possess men of
proved ability and long experience,
fit to command large Allied force"
These views, representative of
majority opinion here, consider Gen.
Douglas Macarthur eliminated from
the list of candidates by his i'm
portant Pacific command.

the Allies would be unable to launch
an offensive there during wet

WAR SHORTENS LAWN PROGRAM
l7O Grammar Graduates Receive Diplomas From
 Emil Mannweiler

Naugatuck, June 17 - Grammar school graduation exercises, short- ened by the war, were held last night at the Futile school lawn, with 170 children from the Salem, Prospect street, Central avenue and Hop Brook schools receiving diplomas.
 Tn a talk to the graduates, Supt. of Schools Harold E. Chittenden pointed out that "these are no days for fooling or wasting time and urged the group to remember this as they continue their studies in high school. The exercises, he said, are more like am interlude as they mark a step in the school process for most pupils, instead of the end of their schooling. The first combined graduation exercises of public grammar school children were held in in 1920, he said. He asked cooperation of parents with school authorities SO that the chil- dren can ably carry on their work in high school.
 Chairman Emil Mannweiler pre- sented the diplomas and also the Josephine A. Maher prize. There were no recitations and the exer- cises took only about an hour.

 To country lovers the Fall Noun tain area can give all the joys of rural life for there are winding paths that lead to sylvan coves, wild flower havens, bubbling brooks and sanctuaries of birds.

 Over 400 persons have already begun settlement of the new play ground, while 325 more lots have been made available. Roads are be- ing laid on the tract which will lead to greater selection of spots for low rambling cottages in the beau- tiful lakeside forest. Constant pro- gress is likewise being made in plac- ing white sand on the lake shores for the added enjoyment of bathers and rafts, floats and chutes have been placed for their water fun.

U. $. Rubber To Operate Arsenal
Glass Book Honors
 Youths In Service
NaugatuCk Men Serving Uncle Sam Listed in Annual
 High School Edition Entitled On To Victory

Naugatuck, June 17-The annual class book of the Naugatuck high school seniors constitutes stirring tribute this year to Naugatuck young men in the U. S. armed serv- ices. It is called "Ad Victorian" or Ion to victory" and feature of the book is a list of names of Naugatuck men who have entered the U. s. armed forces. The list is up to May IS, 1942. It includes not only those drafted but also those who enlisted, and lists the branch of the service in which each is serving.
 The dedication follows: We, the class of 1922, happily and proudly dedicate this-our Year Book-to the boys now in the armed forces, who have attended Naugatuck high school at any time. Realizing that they have left willingly and cheer fully, much, that they have hitherto held dear to answer the patriots call to the colors and preserve the glorious freedom of our country, we feel that 1t is indeed our privilege to acknowledge their sacrifice.
 We have sought assidiously to list the name of all of Naugatuck's boys that we might honor them in- dividually. We hope that we have succeeded. But even with the val uable aid of our town hall and the clergymen of our churches, we fear that we may have inadvertently and unknowingly omitted some hero's name.
 Therefore, to that Unknown Living Soldier, Sailor, Marine or Aviator, and to all his comrades on our far flung battle lines, on and under the seven seas, in the air or in the training camp we reverently dedicate to you our Year Book.
 "'And to keep royalties young
 we'll write your names
 Golden forever, eagles, crying
 flames,
 And set them as banner, that
 men may know"
 A message to the senior class from Principal Charles P. Slade extends his beset wishes and congratula- tionS, and adds, "A year ago, long before the brutal and unprovoked attack on Pearl Harbor and the Philippines, emphasized most en1- phatically the thought that we must prove ourselves, through high sense of patriotism and deep and abiding love for our country, true and loyal Americans on all occa- Sions. With our country now forced into a world conflict threatening to destroy so many previous gifts of civilization, life, liberty and the pur- suit of happiness, this menace has increased the demands upon us tre- mendously.
 Douglas MacArthur, Jonathan Wainwright, Colin Kelly, our sail ors and soldiers in every branch of the service, our Naugatuck boys among them, in keeping with the best American traditions, have af-
