Struck Landlord in Argu- nlent Over Payment
 of Rent

Arrested Saturday following an argument based on an interpreta- ton of the rent control law Peter Dlugobicki, 60, of 256 Orange street was fined $10 and costs on a charge of breach of peace by Judge John L. Gaffney in municipal court to- day. 4 suspended sentence was im- posed on a charge of assault.
 The complaining witness, Alex ander Zadaroznywas, owner of the house in which Dlugobicki resides claimed that the defendant struck him when he refused to accept $22 for rent of one house. Alexander claimed the rent was $25 but Peter said the rent control authority had told him only to pay $22.
 Judge Gaffney counselled Peter that instead of taking the law into his own hands he should have con- ferred further with the rent control authorities.

MRS. ROOSEVELT
 IS GIVEN REBUKE
She Herself Tells Story of Weather Dept. Skipping
 Her Sternly

Washington, Aug. IT = (GP0 - Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt no longer will. tell the readers of her daily newspaper column about weather conditions. She has received "very stern letter" from the office of cen sorship.
 Mrs. Roosevelt herself is author ity for the information. She re- vealed in her column today that the office of censorship considered her daily remarks about the weather, violations of the censorship code for newspapers.
 She had been in the habit of be- ginning her columns with refer ences to the weather which are pro- hibited by the censorship code. In her column today she wrote:
 "The censor has written me a very stern letter about my remarks on the weather, and so from now on I shall not tell you whether 1t rains or whether the sun shines where I happen to be. I imagine that 1t is permissible to mention whether it is hot or cold, and I can tell you with joy that it was cool enough on Saturday to take a walk in Washington with pleasure"

Shortage Of Nitrogen
 Confronting Farmers
Recent Conference in Boston Results in Announce. ment That Readjustment of Program Will
 Be Necessary

Connecticut farmers, already cop ing with shortages of labor, tires and gasoline and spray materials, will soon find 1t necessary to adjust their programs to a reduced supply of nitrogenous fertilizers, according to Dr. H. A. Lunt, Acting Head of the Soils Department of the Con- necticut Agricultural Experiment Station at New Haven. The greatly expanded use of inorganic nitrogen in explosives and the shipping diff ficulties involved in its importa- ton from Chile are expected to create shortage this fall and next year of 20 to 40 percent of nitrogen normally used on crops.
 Evidence of the coming nitrogen shortage, and ways which New Eng land fertilizer manufacturers and farmers may adjust their programs to meet the emergency, were brought out at the Fertilizer Grade Conference in Boston on July 28-29. This Conference was one of five called by the National Fertilizer As sociation at the USDA, WIPE and OPA. On the first day, state agron- omists. control officials and federal

 State Capitol, Hartford. Aug. iT- High Capitol sources said today that Mayor Vincent A. Scully of Waterbury has definitely decided not to accept the Democratic nom- ination for attorney-general. The Brass City Mayor, it was learned today, was notified some weeks ago that the nomination was his for the asking.
 After careful consideration, the Capitol sources stated, Mayor Scully made up his mind not to seek state office. He has as yet given no for- mai answer to Gov. Robert A. Hur- ley but is expected to do 90 within the next few days.
 Mayor Scully, in his declination, Is expected to state that he will not be a candidate under any circum- stances, this meaning that he will not yield to any draft scully" movement.
 State leaders may make Q final effoEt to have Mayor Scully change his mind, but in view of the infor- nation reaching them they are not optimistic about their chances.
 Nomination of Mayor Scully was seen as a means of piling up top- heavy Democratic vote in Water bury and in returning the fifth con- gressional district in special election last January, Congressman Joseph E. Talbot upsetting 8 Demo- cratic reign of eight years.

 liberators for night bombing opera tions of the type used so success fully by the British against Ger many. The British object that the American planes, while among the best in the world, are not adapted to the specialized kind of work in- volved in blasting heavily-defended German industrial centers by night.
 Specifically, the British say the American bombers are not as fast or as well-armored as the British Lancasters or Stirlings, nor do they carry 8 sufficient bomb load for this particular task. The British planes carry about eight tons of bombs and the Americans about three.
 No Disagreement
 There is no question of friction or disagreement, as the aviation ex- pert of the London Sunday Times expressed it, Plain speaking Is needed in the common cause"
 The British are advancing what may prove to be workable solu- CTS be turned over to the British ton. It is that the American bomb- for vital duty over the Atlantic, to which they are adapted. In turn, British heavy bombers designed for use against Germany would be taken from the Atlantic and given to the Americans to operate.
 The problem does not appear in- soluble. What the British are aim- ing at is to get the maximum re- suits in return for the planes and crews that must be sacrificed in the all-out effort. The results the Brit ish have been getting have been due in large part to the weight of bombs they have been able to drop on a single target in single night. The new British two-ton bombs, called "block busters" have accounted for much of the destruction accom- plished in raids on such cities as Mainz and Duisberg.
 Some interesting light is cast on these bombs by the air attache of the British embassy in Washington, just returned from London. He pointed out that such bombs are not limited in weight to the two tons now in use. We may look for steady rise In the weight and ex- plosive force as plane construction progresses, he said, adding that 1t IS a matter of weight distribution in the plane rather than the total weight of the individual bomb.
 The "block busters differ from standard construction in that they are very thinly cased. The minimum covering gives the maximum ex- plosion because of the thin casing, the bombs do not penetrate the sur face of the target but burst on im- pact. It is therefore not the frag- ments but the explosion itself that does the damage.
 The main force of the bombs is lateral, giving spread-out explo- sion of terrific power which nat tens everything within wide radi- us. They will knock down buildings hundreds of yards away, by air displacement.
 Their most effective use to date was at Dusseldorf on July 3l, when 150 of them were dropped, devas- tating four square miles of war ir1- dustrieS.
 The attache gave the essential factors in such raids as the bomb tonnage the planes are capable of carrying and the explosive power of the bombs, rather than the number of planes. He reported that the Dusseldorf raid was more powerful than the earlier one in Cologne, al- though only about 600 planes took part, as against more than 1000 at Cologne.
