WAR PRODUCTION
PROGRAM GAINING
NELSON REPORTS
WPB Chief Warns That
New Problems Are
Sure to Arise

Production of guns, tanks,
planes, ships and other instruments
OF war increased Is per cent in
July, but was still 7 per cent short
OF the goal set at the beginning of
the month, declared Donald M.
Nelson, Chairman of the War Pro
ducti0n Board, in his second month
ly report to the country on how
We are outproducing the Axis.
Taken item by item, the July
picture Of war production follows:
Aircraft: Aircraft production in
creased in July II per cent over
June output. Although combat
plane production rose per cent,
it was not up to expectations.
For the next few months air
craft production is not expected to
reach the production planned
earlier in the year, due in part to
the difficulty of balancing so vast
program. Vigorous efforts are
being made to improve this condi-
ton and production in the later
part of the year is expected to
show marked increase.
Ordnance: Overall ordnance pro-
duction in July increased 26 per
cent over June output and was very
| close to schedules.
Production of medium tanks
measured numerically was 35
per cent greater than in the previ-
Gus month and considerably ahead
of schedules.
Light tanks showed a somewhat
smaller percentage of gain-15
per cent - but also were ahead Of
| schedules.
The production of anti-aircraft
guns leaped upward, one class of
guns showing a gain Of 64 per
cent in production, while output
of another class shot upward fifty
per cent - both of them exceeding
schedules by wide margin.
The production of ammunition
and explosives also was in excess
of goals set at the beginning Of
the month, with exceptions in a.
few classifiicatiOnS.
The record on heavy artillery
was mixed, some classes of these
weapons showing much better gains
than others. Some types expect
ed to come into production dur
ing the month failed to do so.
Merchant Ships: The Maritime
Commission reported the delivery
during July of II merchant vessels
weighing 791,667 deadweight tons,
compared with 67 vessels of 747,900
daedweight tons in June - an in
crease of almost six per cent and
nearly on schedule for the month
Navy Vessels: A gain of about
% per cent in construction of naval
vessels was made in July-overall
production being nearly one-fourth
greater than in June.
Deliveries of major combat yes
sells were ahead of those in June
and considerably ahead of fore
casts Marked progress over June
production Of minor naval vessels
was reported, although output was
materially behind expectations.

HANGOVERS
By
LITTLE EISKELL

What started out to be one of
those ordinary primaries has
ended up in a blaze of surprises.
Topping the list of "WeII-Whata-
Yuh-knoWs" was the race be-
tween two COPS, Ellsworth Rou-
lette and Leo Miller, both of
whom went down the line slug
ging away for the judgeship nom-
ination.
The Hagerstown globe., 1942-09-11

Back some months ago when
Leo announced that the Judge
ship bee was buzzing in his legal
bonnet, folks hereabouts smiled
and figured Leo should be warn
ed to conserve his cash in these
times, what with depressions
comm up after the war and all
that. Ellsworth, they figured,
would simply mutiIate Leo, after
which no one would recognize
him. But that was not to be.
AS a matter of fact this race
highIiahted the primaries and
ended by Ellsworth, probably the
best vote getter in the RepubIi-
can party, winning by a thin
whsker.
The Hagerstown globe., 1942-09-11

The primary also proved con-
clusively that the coming election
will have to be worked and those
who decide to sit back and let
George do it, will be left by the
side of the road. 1t will be up to
the Democrats to get out the
vote. Frankly they've gotta keep
pitchin'.
The Hagerstown globe., 1942-09-11

The Demmies figured that Leo
would be set-up, but being Of
rather contrary nature, I'm just
wondering if, in view of this close
race, the opposite may not be
a "made-to-order" dish for the
Democratic candidate, Judge Joe
Mish. AS matters now stand
Ellsworth must first WOO back
that tremendously big block of
votes shared by Leo before he
can give any attention to the COL
lection of Democratic votes. In
otherwords, the vote proved that
the Republicans were equally d.
vided in their choice which defin-
itely places the winner at dis
advantage. If either had won by
a wide margin, the winner would
then have had little fence re-
pairing work to do. Now, the
victor not only will find it neces-
sary to mend said fences, but
will also have to go to work dig
gng holes for the posts.
The Democrats exerted little
effort in selecting splendid
slate of candidates and the
Donkey Boys should have less
trouble in the general election.
Because of the large number of
candidates running for office,
quite few equally good men
failed to make the grade, but at
least the customers were given a
good selection from which to
choose. AS frequently predicted
in this column the "antis" failed
to convince the rank and file
Democrats that, if given the op-
portunity, they would "be good"
Result: The King remains in his
counting house counting his mis-
takes.

MAYOR SCULLY

He said General Hershey's action was on recommendation of Governor Hurley who conferred last Friday with Major William P. Averill, act ing state director concerning At torney Guastaferri's admitted prac- tice of accepting fees from selective service registrants for assistance in completing affldavits and other papers required by board 16-B in classifying regiStrants.
 Although Attorney Guastaferrl was a member of the registrants advisory board, the members of which are appointed to assist board registrants without fee, he said he had been advised by Chairman Schiavone that he was justified in accepting fees.
 The latter advised him that he had letter from state selective service official which stated that members of advisory boards could accept fees, MT. Guastaferri told reporters.
 The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and their final report is believed now to be in the hands of United States District Attorney Robert P. Butler.
 Tha Registrants' Advisory Board of 16-B now consists of only three lawyers: Frank Healey, Stephen Homick and Carmine G. Cipriano. Members of the selective service board other than Acting Chairman Blewitt are: Daniel Campion, Will liam Hickey and Philip Brodeur.

State Pharmacists
 Appoint Louis Bria
Former School Commissioner Named Third Vice-Pres-
 ident at Hartford Convention

eral Lewis B. Hershey, national di- rector of the Selective Service; pr. Hugh P. Beirne, president of the National Association of Retail Drug gists and secretary of the state Pharmacy Commission, Chester Bowles, State OPA director were among the speakers at the conven- ton.
 The secretary read Q report for the year ending June 1, 1042, which showed that Connecticut has lost I'll registered pharmacists and 64 registered assistants to the armed forces, and that 117 registered phar- macists had left their business and entered war industries. Fourteen drug stores have been closed throughout the state because of inc duction of the owners, he said.
 Dr. Beirne desribed conditions as being more serious than the report indicated. The average number of registered personnel for each drug store in the state is slightly less, he said, than the m4nlmum of two per. sons required in small drug stores.
 The seriousness of the situation Is shown, Dr. Beirne added, by the fact that 4l students or approxi- mately half of the years candidates for registration in Connecticut have graduated from the Connecticut College of Pharmacy with the proS- pect of being drafted by July IS.
 President Paul J. Kurkel read 10 recommendations, which later were considered by 8 special committee and established in the records. Three of these suggested that the associa- ton ask Governor Hurley for two or more additional inspectors for the pharmacy commission, that the as. sociation work for legislation limit ing the sale of all medicinal prepar- ations to registered pharmacists, and that pharmacists be represented on city and state health boards.
 Prescott Williams of New Haven, was chosen president of the CPA after the report of the nominating committee was made. Other ofn- cers: Jack Malley of Hartford, first vice-president; Stanley StrofEolino of South Norwalk, second vice. president; Louis Bria of Waterbury third vice-president, and Alice Esther Garvin of New Haven, sec- retary and treasurer.
 Harold Worthein, president of the Travelling Mems Auxiliary, an- nounced the presentation of the auxiliary's annual scholarship q years tuition to the Connecticut College of Pharmacy to Joseph A. Murphy of Litchfleld.

 Category 2.-sRegistrants other wise qualified for military service who have financial dependents other than wives or children men, toned in CategorieS 3 or 4.
 Category S.-RegistrantS other wise qualified for military service who have wives with whom they are maintaining a bona flde family re- lationship in their homes and who were married prior to Dec. 8, 194i, and at Q time when induction was not imminent.

No exemptions for war service be granted any man who has been married since October IS, l940, will be asked of the delegates of the twenty-fourth annual department convention of the American Legion of Connecticut, which will open Fri- day at the Hotel Griswold, Groton.
 The resolution favors a national law regarding the deferrment of draftees and urges that instead of having deferrments left up to local boards, which now show no uni- forlnity in their selection of de- ferrments, and that men to be deferred for dependency, must have relatives actually dependent upon their wages.
 The opening of the American Legion and Legion auxiliary conven- tions will be preceded by meetings of their executive boards. Depart ment President Blanche B.
