Traffic Fatalities In
 1922 Will Decrease
Com. John T. Mccarthy Encouraged By Reports to
 Date; Only I3 Deaths in August; B Last Year

Commissioner John T. Mccarthy pf the State Department of Motor Vehicles is much encouraged con- serning Connecticut's prospects of reporting a substantial reduction in Taffic fatalities this year over 104l, as the department has recorded but thirteen (13) deaths for the current month, as of August 26th, compared with thirty three (33) last year, and for the year as of that date forty eight (40 fewer persons had been killed in traffic accidents, a reduc- ton of twenty-one (2D per cent, pr higher than the national average Tor the first seven months.
 While traffic fatalities do not constitute a dependable measure ment of highway safety or traffic accident prevention, states Com missioner Mccarthy, "deaths caused by traffic conflicts do constitute the most impressive phase of high way accident cost.
 Tt is, therefore, most gratifying to all of us interested in promoting street and highway safety to note that as August wanes the prospects of a satisfactory traffic death rec ord are excellent. Last year, August traffic deaths totalled for ty-four (44) cases. With only five days remaining in the month it lookss as though this year August will prove to be a relatively safe month as regards traffic killings. If we get by the weekend with out undue cost we may be able to

report a fifty C5O) per cent drop for the month"
 Only four (4 adult pedestrians have been killed during the first twenty-five (25) days of August as compared with fourteen dD a year ago. Two child-pedestrian fatali- ties were caused during the com parative period each year.
 There has been a consistent downward trend in Connecticut traf- fic fatalities this year since April 18th when the total for each year stood at eighty-nine (89) cases. The record balanced again during May but dropped steadily after that un- till as of the close of business Tues day, August 18th, the current year was charged with 181 deaths as compared with 229 year ago.
 "This reduction represents drop of twenty-one (2D per cent, con- cludes the Commissioner in his statement, "or substantially higher than the national average for the first six months of fifteen Q5) per cent. We face the worst period in the year for ped accident experi- ence, the dark hour autumnal months. Foot traffic flow has in creased tremendously in many sec tions of certain areas wherein war effort industries have expanded. We can expect an increase in pedestrian accidents in such sections unless acicdent prevention efforts are

garden plot of the property, which we did with a will, under the able tutelage of MT. Dexter Lutz, an ex- pert scientific farmer.
 We did not remain long enough to harvest the fine crop of potatoes, corn, beans, etc. but we were grate- ful to exercise in the open air.
 Our servants were allowed to bring food and clothing to us from our homes, but we were not allowed to receive visitors or communicate with the bishop or anyone outside the internment camp.
 One bedroom was set aside as a temporary chapel where we gath- cred in the morning and evening for prayer, a.Nd where two Masses a day were said in turn.
 When we were asked by the au- thorities whether or not we wished to evacuate, eight replied yes, pro- vided that they could return to their respective missions, and nine replied no.
 In the beginning of our intern ment an officer of the higher police had told Us that if we behaved our selves and did not try to escape our lives and property would be re- spected, and we were under the protection of the emperor The agreement was kept by both parties
 At the end we had no choice but to leave the country. We were told by the sergeant of police in charge that we must go. Bishop O'Shea finally ordered us to go. We left Heijo on June for Kobe.
 The only tragic event was the case of Father Leo J. Pelequin of Brockton, Mass, due to the bum gling and indifference of the au- thorities.
 We wish to record with pleasure our association in the same place of internment with Dr. John Big ger; MT. Dexter Lutz; Miss Edith Myers, a trained nurse; and Miss Anne Bergman, teacher; and all of the Presbyterian mission. These excellent exemplars of Christian fellowship and the mission spirit were the sharers in all the little joys and trials of our community life.
 We wish finally to express heart felt gratitude to almighty God for the manifest protection and for our safe deliverance.

Jersey City, N. J., Aug. 27-(UP) Following is the text of the state ment issued by the Maryknoll Mis- sion Society in behalf of IS Cath olic priests and 10 nuns who arrived from the Far East on the liner Grip sholm.
 The following priests of the Heijo mission were interned on the prop erty of the Presbyterian board of foreign missions in Heijo, Province Heianando, Chosen:
 Fathers Booth, Cleary, Duffy, Hunt, Chisholm, Sweeney, Plum kett, Barron, Carroll, Steinbach, Gibbons, Nolan, Connors, Cozen, White, Daly, Lenahan and Kent. All of the priests with the excep- ton of Father F. White and Thomas Nolan were seized by the police at their homes on Dec. 8 and brought to the Heijo jail On the following day they were brought to place of internment. Fathers White and Nolan were brought direct to the internment camp Dec. 9. Father Patrick Duffy and Thomas Plum kett had their hands tied imme- diately on seizure. Fathers Stein bach, Chisholm and Hunt were kept in jail, the first named until Dec. | 24, and the two last named until the last of the month. Father Duf- fly, citizen of the Irish Free State, was released from the camp March 2.
 Two Policemen There
 Two policemen were assigned for "A hours in the house with those interned. Tn the beginning our jail CTS were inclined to be somewhat overbearing and officious in their attitude, but they gradually changed and we discovered that an ill will manifested toward us was due rath- CT to the meanness of the individual jailers.
 With many of the police we were on friendly footing.
 For the first two weeks we were crowded two and three in room in the home of Dr. John Bigger; three priests living in the unheated attic. We were allowed two hours recrea- tion in the open daily, walking up and down in front of the house. We were then moved to the neigh boring larger house where the rooms were more commodious, though two and three were assigned to a room. The meals at times were scanty and meat was always scarce, but having a good cook we considered ourselves fortunate.
 Did Own Washing
 We waited on table and did our own washing. Shortage of water was at times a real inconvenience. Dur ing the winter walking up and down in front of the house was our sole recreation.
 But with the coming of spring, things improved greatly. We were allowed to cultivate several acres of

NO EXPERIMENTS
 TO BE GRANTED
New Order Denies Stay to Anyone Seeking Enlist
 ment or Commission

Under a new policy announced by National Headquarters for Selective Service, no deferments or postpone ments of induction will be granted registrants rcnding final action by thc :, red Forces on their applica- tions for enlistment Or commissions, effective at once, Major William P. Averill, acting state director for Connecticut, announced today.
 Local Board Release No. IA, from National Headquarters, which be- came effective August 20th, provides that no deferments or postpone ments of induction will be granted by local boards pending approval of applications for commission or en- listment.
 This ruling will affect a large number of registrants in Connecti- cut who have applications pending or are planning to file applications
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-08-27

in the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard.
 Particularly effected will be the physicians, dentists and veteri- narians in the state who have been advised for many months that they should file applications for commits sion before they are classified in IA and that upon application, and pro- viding they are qualified, they would be commissioned in the armed forces.
 Tn the past, physicians, dentists and veterinarians when reclassified to IA or when newly classified as IA were then permitted to apply for a commission in the armed forces. In some instances defer ments were granted and in other cases inductions were postponed un- til the commission was forthcoming All this is eliminated under the new policy. If the registrant has not already been accepted for service when he is classified in IA and re- ceives his induction notice, he will now find that he will be inducted in the usual manner as 8 "buck private" without further defermsAp or postponement.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-08-27

stepped up to meet the situation.
 Generally speaking. Connecticut traffic accident rate has not been reduced in line with the current emergency. Totals are down, of course, but the rate of incidence is not, indicating that accident pre- vention agencies cannot relax past efforts to control traffic despite the regrettable general assumption that efforts along that line can now be leSSened."
