l.49O ACCIDENT
 CASES REPORTED
Month of May May Be Credited With Decline in
 Automobile MishapS

A substantial reduction in traffic accident incidence for the month of May in Connecticut is predicted by Commissioner John T. Mccarthy of the Department of Motor Vehicles on the basis of reports recorded as of Tuesday, June 2.
 "We have recorded as of Tuesday exactly 1,49O traffic accident cases" stated the commissioner "of which a certain number are being classified as non-reportable upon review and so not counted. We expect to con- plete the May traflc accident exper- fence with about ], 400 cases as com pared with 1,845 cases for the same month last year. The substantial difference of 445 cases may shrink still further with receipt of late re- ports for the closing days of May but we feel positive the May, 1941 count will range from 20 per cent to 25 per cent less than for last year. 7
 Almost 30 per cent of the May trafflc accidents is charged to the "congested area" group of 36 towns of 10000 or more population. This indicates a markfled reduction in trafflc flow on state highways, ac- cordin gto the commissioner, who points out that this centering of traffic accident experience in built up areas is what he has expected inasmuch as interstate and, to a marked degree intra-state, vehicle flow is no longer problem because of gasoline rationing restricting re- creational travel of any distance.

PATROL SQUADRON HEARS R.A.E. GUEST
Captain Thomas Ray De- scribes Experiences on
 Fighting Fronts

Capt. Thomas Ray, recently mus tered out of the Royal Air Force after two years service and who re- ports for service with the U. s marine corps for aviation duty within a week, told of his expe- riences in Canada, Britain and some of the fighting fronts at meeting of Waterbury squadron of the Civil Air Patrol at Waterbury air. port, Mount Tobe, last night.
 Squadron Commander Harold T Shalett and the communications officer, Frank B. Hales, who have been on active service with the O A. P. coast patrol task forces, were present last night. MT. Hales told briefly of some of the work being done in the coastal patrol service in cooperation with the U. s. army the U. s. navy, the coast guard and other agencies.
 Capt. Ray, who flew from Beth- any airport some years ago, eX- plained much of what he might tell that would be interesting was of a secret nature and could not be re- vealed at this time. However, be- cause of the makeup of his au- dience he did tell some matters of a confidential nature.
 He layded British air force execucives and personnel and said the performance of all British planes now in use was excellent and excelled those of any other nation. He described a bombing mission, explaining the duties of the crew. the great need for cooperation of all men involved from the ground crew on up through the machine gunners and bombardier and the great thrill of scoring 6 hit on 8 target.
 Combat flying. he said, is strictly for young men and commended British and U. s: army air force officers for their insistence on youth.
 He explained dog fights are sometimes over in seconds with vlc- tory going to the pilot who gets in the first burst. Bomber piloting. he explained, is precision flying and the older man is suited and quite likely tempermentally fitted for this work.
 One of the oldest pilots on duty with the task force was Fred J.. Lyons, once Connecticut Light and Power Co. district manager here and now manager at Greenwich. MT. Lyons, who is 63 years old, ob- tained his pilots license some months ago, MF. Hales said MT. Lyons appeared to be enjoying the work and was one of the most ae- tive members of the unit.
