Mosquito Craft Carry
 Deadly Sting By ELIZABETH KETCHAM, Staff Writer Waterbury Democrat Washington Bureau.

Washington, D. C., February 25. The Navy Departments commu- niques on the Navy's famous PTS the fast new patrol torpedo boats gears out the predictions of naval technicians as to their efficiency in actual fighting.
 These tiny craft only some 70 feet long and manned by a crew of nine - could hardly be expected to deal a death blow to great 5000 ton enemy vessel, but they did ac- complish just such feat twice within a week in Subic Bay off Lu- zon in January; and again in Feb ruary such a boat struck hard at a Jap naval vessel in Manila Boy.
 These little boats have powerful sting notwithstanding their small size; they carry four torpedo tubes, and are easily maneuverable so that they can swing rapidly into position to strike a battleship's most vulner- able spot, and then get swiftly away. Not only enemy ships, but enemy planes as well, find themselves in difficulties when torpedo boats go on the Warpath. Two motor tor pedo boats in the Philippines, re- gently routed with anti-aircraft fire formation of Japanese bombers bent on attacking.
 Manueverability Valuable
 Although, to the laynan, small craft may appear to be poor wea- pons against giant enemy vessels, navy men have long known that the maneuverabi!ity of a small boat, and its inconspicuousness in night raids, make it a valuable fighting craft Successes with tiny craft have been many, and some of them sound like the imaginings of a Jules Verne. It is true that some tales of the kind may be apocryphal, but one in- stance that is undoubtedly authen- tic, and stranger than any fiction, occurred only ten days before the Ar1nistice in World War I. Two Italian naval officiers wearing head year to resemble barrels floating in the water, piloted converted tor pedo into the waters outside of Pola Harbor and sank two warships, the

ATTORNEY JACOBS
 TO APPOINT AIDES
Meriden Man Appointed Explosive Licensing
 : Agent for County

Appointment of a deputy federal explosive licensing agent for Wa terbury Is expected to be made soon by Attorney David H. Jacobs, of Meriden, who has been named federal explosive licensing agent for the county of New Haven.
 Under the authority contained in the federal explosive act of Decem- Der Is, 1941, Jacobs will have com- plete control over general distribu- ton to the public of all explosives and combustible substances. He will be required to appoint deputies in each ely and town of the county. It will be their responsibility to examine requests for explosive ma terials and issue licenses where legitimate need is shown.
 The licenses, for which a nom- inal fee will be charged, must be obtained by all potential users of explosives, even though such use is vitally concerned with their daily work. Thus, owners of quarries. road construction companies and others who use dynamite in their regular operations, must now ob- tain 8 license. It also was stated Monday that social groups or others, who for any reason what soever, wish to conduct a ce!e- bration including fireworks dis play. must obtain a license.
 Licenses are to be issued to vendors, purchasers and foremen in charge of dynamite operations of any type, and the act will re- main in full force for the duration of the war. A further specified ton of the law states that only citizens of the United Staes may apply for an explosive license.

NEGRO COMBAT ENGINEERS FOR HER0|SM
TEACHER GIVES $4,000 MEMO
RIAL TO TUSKECEE FOR
NEEDY STUDENTS

Tal5l<cgee, Aug, tANP) A
retired white school teacher,
who preferred that her name
be kept anonymous, visited
Tuskegee institute last week
on z tour of inspection. When
she left she made a grant to
Tuskegee of $4,000, giving
the money for aid to needy
students and as a tribute to a
deceased uncle. She explained
that it represented her life's
savings.
The donor who made the
unusual gift merely said:
MY uncle, Myron Brown,
born 1843, died 1893, was in
his lifetime buffeted and
wronged and disposed, being
like the Negro, unable to pro-
tect himself against sharper
minds.
He was honest, hard work
ing, loyal, unselfish, faithful
unto death. He would have

ter's daughter, without an in

force marks the end of the
dispute between the state and
the church. He is the first
president to receive the signal
honor of being elected by both
state and church boards. Be-
fore this, the president of the
entirc institution was elected
~ the church board alone,
and the state board had no
voice in it even though it con
tributed heavily to the budget
of the institution. AS dean of
the graduate school at How
ard university and as presid
ing elder in the AME church.
DR.. Wesley is very well-knowr
among educational and church
circles as "a scholar and a
gentleman" and his arrival on
the campus was heralded with
10y not only by the 20 mem
bers of the two boards of
trustees, but also by the mem
bers of faculty and the stu
ient body.
Bishop r. c. Ransom,
chairman of the church board
Of trustees, and Atty. Ray
Hughes, chairman Of the state
board of trustees, declared in
a personal interview that they
were determined to eliminate
from the institution both
church and state politics.
