JACK DEMPSEY TO
 BE DISAPPOINTED

New York, January 8. - (UP) - Jack Dempsey, who tried to join the Army last Tuesday, didn't have a chance to get in, Captain Herbert Chase, publicity relations officer of the Second Corps Area Recruiting and Induction Office, revealed to- day.
 When Dempsey volunteered his services to the Army" Chase said, The was told that the age limit was IS to 35 at the present time and he could not be accepted. He was ex- amined physically and found to be fit as fiddle but it was distinctly understood that the recruiting office could not accept him at this time"
 Today Dempsey said he still was under the impression that he might obtain waiver from Washington and be admitted despite his 46 years, Il over the age limit.
 T thought they might let me in because I'm as fit as any man Is years my junior." Dempsey said. i've been waiting to hear from Washington and I'm still waiting I'm ready to go any time. and do anything they want me to-"
 Nevertheless, Dempsey's status remains private citizen too old 10 fight the Army said here.

 He indicated plainly that he and his men are ready to fight to the last to hold off the attacking enemy.

Fire Sideights

Locked in a desperate struggle with tho worst fire Waterbury has seen in many years, firefighters this morning waged a battle against numbing cold, ice and suf- locating clouds of smoke that en- veloped the flaming Bank street buildings as well. Frozen hands, faces and legs hampered the ef- forts of the fircmen. Many walked about with frosty layers of ice clinging to their coats, occasion ally seeking monlentary refuge in cups of coffee distributed by vol unteerS.
 An anonymous visitor from New York stood forlornly on the side walk opposite the burning build ings. sadly contemplating suit case he held in his hand. Ques- tiOning revealed that the discOn- sOlate individual was q Knicker- booker window decorator em- plOyed by the A.. $.

New York, Jan. 3-(UP)-The United States must turn out 'ne airplane every four minutes, one tank eve.y seven minutes and two ship every day to meet President Roosevelt's war production sched- ule for 1943. the national associa- tion of manufacturers estimated to- day.
 The president called for 125,000 planes, 75,000 tanks and 10,000,000 tons of shipping by the end of l943.
 The enormity of the program IS best emphasized in the aircraft pro- duction schedule. the NAM pointed out. It estrniated that 10000, 900 square feet of space would be need cd to produce l25.0OO planes, hn area of more than 1000 city blocks or almost a third of the area of Manhattan Island. In l940. the total floor space used in the aircraft !n- dustry as l3,l15.4 .42l square feet.
 Tn 1887, the nations manufactur- CTS turned out 949 military air craft, 1900 in 1888, 2,404 in 1939. D. 800 in 194o and approximately lS,ooo

in l941.
 Some idea If tho size of this program is shown by the fact that to produce 6O,0O0 airplanes year, with plants working 365 days year and A hours a day, one plane could be turned out every nine minutes, the assoc'at said. TO turn cut 25,OOO planes would call for the production of one plane every four minutes"
 A tremendous increase in employ ment in th4 aircraft industry will be necessary to achieve the preSl- dents objective. From l93 GOO total workers in the Industry in l940, the average estimated for l943 will top ,392 900, or approximately one fifth as any workers as are now employed in all defense factories.
 "To meet the presidents estimate of prod ction of 8,000,000 dead- weight tons of merchant shipping during l942. 1t would be necessary to sustain a rate of approximate.y two ships day the NAM said, Comuletiop of 2nho nnn deadweighl

tons would compare with actual production of 13,627,311 deadweight tons under the old shipping board program during the entire period of the last world war, when we were preparing to transfer 100000 troops overseas"
 The association said that at the end of l9,l shipyards of the nation had under construction 833 sea-go- ing merchant vessels of which more than TOO would have to be complet- ed to maintain MT. RooseveltS schedule for 1922.
 It was estimated that at present 2,SO0 tanks of all types are being produced eacl. month, or 3a,60O il year.
 The presidents program will in crease this quota to 45.000 year for l942 and to 75,000 a year in 1943" the association said. Tn other words, it. l943 we will be producing more than twice as many tanks 2s we are now turning out. This means that We shall se producing tanks at the rate of one every seven min uteS."

JAPANESE DRIVE
 AHEAD IN MALAYA
Smash Back All British Opposition; Japan Ckal=
 lenges U. S., British
BY STANLEY JONES Tinted Press Staff COrrsSpondent)

Il Singapore, Jan. 8 U.PD - British forces in Malaya fell back on the lower Perak front following penetration of defense lines by Jap anese tank attacks, a conmunique said tonight.
 The British retirement was to positions south of the Slim river teh communique said.
 "There are indications of enemy infiltrations east of the Selangore area (north of the key city of Kua- la Lumpur) but otherwise the Situ- ation is unchanged" the communi- que said.
 The infiltrations to the east in- dicated that the Japanese were at tempting to work through the jun gles in the middle of the Malayan peninsula in an effort to envelop or flank teh British lines.
 The town of Slim is on the rail- road approximately 50 miles north of Kuala Lumpur.
 The withdrawal in the Slim river sector was a continuation of retire ments almost every day this week ill an effort to establish a strong front in defense of Kuala Lumpur, an operation which the Japanese had been attempting to prevent by f1anking attacks.
 Heavy Pressure
 "The enemy infantry and tanks maintained heavy pressure through out Wednesday on the lower Perak front" the communique said At one point tanks penetrated our de- lenses. Our forces were then with drawn to south of the Slim river.
 We suffered some losses of guns and transport.
 Tn the Selangore area there are indications of some enemy infiltra- tion eastward. OthersWise the situ- ation remains unchanged"
 The new attack had come after a brief lull during which Japanese planes bombed ferociously on the west and east coasts, apparently in preparation for new attempts to land troops behind the British lines
 On the west the Japanese bomb ings centered on Port Swettenham, 200 miles up the coast, but on the east side they were concentrated tn the Mersing area only 75 miles north cs this island.

Bremen Were Bitter While They Fought Fire In Zero Temperature
Taxpayers Assn. Mem= bers Were Not There to
 Do Any Work

Where's the Taxpayers Associa- ton today?" asked dozens of Wa terbury firemen today as they fought, in sub-zero temperatures, against the Bank street blaze which for time threatened to level whole square of business buildings near the Center. This was only one of the many bitter references that the slnoke-eaters made to the asso- citation as they carried ice-crusted hose up slippery ladders.
 The firemen's bitterness was ,oc- casioned by a bulletin of the Tax payers Association, issued two days ago, in which the organization claimed much of the credit for 1e- featin. a proposed pay increase for fireman, along with other city work CTS.
 Some of the remarks were made within earshot of Mayor Vincent A. Scully, who was on hand through most of the morning.
 Would the big shots in the Tax payers Association like to be doing this for AZ cents an hour?" asked

In recent years the old landmark
