NO REDUCTION IN
 WAR PRODUCTION
City's Factories Expected to Continue at Present
 Peak, Despite Reports

Continued war production at a peak rate in Waterbury was assured today when, the United Press re- ported from Washington, Chairman Paul V. McNutt of the War Man power Commission said that con- tracts twill continue to be placed in areas where dabor) shortages exist when there are no facilities else where"
 This qualification of the original order guarantees continued capac- ity operation for Waterbury plants, since this city's brass mills are the nucleus of the whole industry. The principal competition comes from cities in this area, largely in Con- nccticut and New York.
 The statement from Washington bears out the story in yesterdays editions of The Democrat. which laid at rest scare" stories that the city would get no further war con- tracts. Prominent local industrial ists bore out this news, saying that production at the highest possible rate will continue indefinitely and that more and more employees will be added to local payrolls.
 MT. McNutt Tuesday listed Wa terbury as one of 66 "labor-s shortage" areas.

SETTLEMENT MADE
 IN $2,5OO ACTION

A settlement was reported this morning in the $2,5O0 damage suit brought against the Thomasmton Savings bank by Caroline MacDon- aid of Waterbury. The plaintiff sought to recover as the result of injuries sustained February 5, 1941 when she fell on 8 sidewalk at 124 Willow street. The case had been scheduled for a hearing in common pleas court this afternoon. Terms of settlement were not disclosed.
 According to the complaint, the plaintiff fell on an icv walk on the property owned by the defendant, sustaining injuries to her back, right shoulder and right elbow. The bank was charged with negligence for permitting water from roof pipes and a gulley to accumulate on the walk and freezes.

receiver adds.
 The main obstacles to operation during the six month period, ac- cording to the report, were a gov ernmental cutting of chlorine al- lotment to 40 per cent and labor difficulty. The governmental action was successfully appealed and the necessary chemical was granted in the amount requested, and the problem with a local labor union was strengthened out after a hear ing before Judge Edward J. Daly in superior court.
 Cut-throat competition and price cutting have disappeared and sales have greatly increased, the receiver states. Uncertainty, however, IS ex- pressed as to what the war will do to chemical, gasoline, and tire allot- ment, and also to its effect on labor.
 At the end of the fiscal year the court will be asked to restore all as- sets to the corporation and allow it to resume it's operations as solvent going concern, according to the statement, which was filed by Attor- ney Alfred L. Finkelstein as coun- sel for the receiver.
