PLAN SOO-UNIT
 BLOOD PLASMA
$I,4OO Allotted to Water bury Defense Area;
 Materials Assuredy

The Ofice of Civilian Defense has allotted $l 400 toward the estab- lishment of a 300-unit blood plasma reserve for emergency use in the Waterbury defense area according to word received here by Dr. Joseph l.. Hetzel, chairman of the medical defense bureaus spec'al investigat- ing committee. The War Production Board has granted priority order for materials necessary in setting up the unit.
 A total of $2000 has already been expended by the Waterbury hospi- tai which will be headquarters for the project. Although private funds have also been used about $5,000 more are still needed to meet the estimated cost, Dr. Hetzel said. Members of St. Marys hospital staff will cooperate in the program.
 Plasma which will be made here will be preserved in frozen state and not in a dry form as originally planned. It has been pointed out that frozen plasma can be kept for at least three years.
 Establishment of the new project will eliminate the necessity of sending for donors at the time of emergency, thereby saving much time and eliminating the element of chance. Blood will be received from voluntary donors, hut Dr. Het- gel said the plasma reserve staff is not ready yet to receive it and will make public appeal when all is in readiness.
 Assisting Dr. Hetzel with the de- velopment of the reserve are pr. J. O. Collins, Dr. John Pryor, pr. Clarence H. Cole. Miss Ada Greer; superintendent of the Waterbury hospital members of the executive committee of the hospital, and pr. George Smith, staff physician of the Scovill Mfg. Co.,, and chief of the Connecticut medical defense coun- ell.

convoy have been pouring from the holding and reconsignment depots into the ports giant warehouses, each of whose storage "bins" ap- breaches the size of a city block.
 Stored here, awaiting loading, is everything from prefabricated barracks to rakes and hoes for tending gardens which will make troops self-sustaining for food; from heavy cannon to small arms; from cases of emergency rations to cases of semi-luxury foods planned with such f1nesse that chocolate goes to cold climates, lemon drops to hot.
 112 DIFFERENT
 SIZES OF SHOES
 One whole row of warehouses is set aside as the overseas sup ply" section. Always on hand here are kept days rations for a mill lion men and enough of every kind of colthing and equipment to fill at a moments notice any last minute deficiencies of a sailing unit. In shoes alone, that means 112 diff ferent sizes in stock. And shoes are but one of the 1000 items stored here.
 While supplies for this convoy have been pouring into these ware houses, the railroad yards and storage areas outside them have been filling up with the gigantic machines with which modern wars are fought.
 There is an olive-drab sea of motorized and mechanical mon- sters here-tanks and guns, trac- tors and trench diggers, mobile machine shops and medical units, planes, bomb carriers, trucks, am balances and hundred other hulk ing contrivances on rubber tires. THE ATS

moved the cargoes to the 'head house." This is @ final storage area.
 Once the supplies and equipment are checked into the headhouse, the port quartermaster's job is through. The Army Transportation Service takes over the loading of the ships. This Is no small problem in itself. Each ship must take a cross-section of equipment. If it did not, the boat loaded with all of ore essential supply might be sunk in the crossing, thereby immobilizing all other units on arrival.
 How ship is to be loaded de- pends on the mission to be per- formed. A task force that may have to fight it's way ashore will ned it's ammunition handy, though ordinary procedure would call for storing 1t deep in the holds as ballast.
 The night before sailing, the port waterfront presents a picture of hectic, seeming confusion. Scurry- ing under brilliant foodlights, longshoremen weave the cargoes between the freight cars and trucks which have sidled Up to the ships.

Springfield, Mass, July = The Philadelphia Quartermaster Depot of the United States Army has taken over six of the principal buildings and approximately 25 acres of the Eastern States Exposition grounds in West Springfield immediately ad- jacent to the buildings for the stor- age of war materials, 1t was an- nounced last night by General Man. ager Charlse A. Nash. The Army will formally take possession for the duration of the war as of July 1, he said.
 Well formulated plans for the 1922 Eastern States Exposition scheduled September 20 to 26 have necessarily been cancelled.
 The structures which the Quarter master Corps has leased for storage purposes include the Industrial Arts building, two cattle barns, the Col iseum, the horse show barn and the boys and girls Camp Vail building. All are of steel, brick and concrete construction fully protected by fire sprinkler system.
 The State Buildings owned by Massachusetts, Connecticut, Yer mont, New Hampshire and Maine are not included in the negotiations,

nor are the New England Grange building or the building owned by the Hampden County Improvement league. Several buildings owned by the exposition, including the Junior Achievement building, Storrowtown Village and a number of wooden structures about the grounds and approximately 150 acres of land will remain under the control of the Ex- position management, MT. Nash sail. It is his understanding that the government will construct a special protective fence enclosing about 25 acres of land surrounding the six buildings taken over.
 This is the second time in the the quarter of century history of the exposition that 1t has been en- abled to serve the notion by relin- quishing its plant to the government for war needs. During World War I the government took over the grounds and buildings and used the plant as war storage depot in 1918 and no exposition was held that fall. The plant reverted to the man. agement again in midsummer of 1919 and the fall shows were re- sumed that September and have continued annually since that time.

ute headaches. One ship, harried by submarines, may reach the port late. Within perhaps 36 hours she must be refueled, repaired, and reloaded. If she cannot be loaded entirely within that time, decision must be made whether she is to wait for another convoy or to sail partly empty. An entire convoy cannot wait for part of one ships cargo to be loaded.
 LAST MINUTE
 REPAIRS MADE
 As longshoremen scurry about loading her, tankers nuzzle her side, pumping in fuel. A mainte- nance crew arrives to make the minor repairs sustained on any long sea voyage. On the docks, painters, tying their brushes to long poles, daub war-gray over rust spots. The docks hum with noise and confusion.
 Yet, tonight, somehow, miracu- lously, it was all over. Even as the ships were loading, cargoas for other conveys have been streaming into the yards and warehouses. And with the loading almost finished, the troops themselves have ap- peared-suddenly, as from nowhere and marcvhed into the ships that will take them to war.

 SAFE DRIVING
SIS Accidents in Which 3 Persons Were Killed, 37O
 Injured in Al

Don't let down on careful driv- ing over the Fourth of July holi- day" Motor Vehicles Commissioner John T. Mccarthy urged drivers to. day. He pointed oyt that if last years July 4th weekend accidenf toll should be reduced by half tl1i year, Connecticut would still record 150 accidents with 132 persons in- jured and at least one killed. Three were killed over the holiday week. end in 194l.
 "Although gasoline rationing wa2 in effect over the recent Memorial day holiday, seven persons were killed in automobile accidents on that week-end," the commissioner said. "In spite of reduced travel, holiday traffic increases highway hazards.
 While accidents have decreased to some extent, the decrease for the hrst five months of this year was only about five per cent. If you have to be on the road over the holiday, drive slowly to save rubber and prevent accidents. Don't let down on careful driving"
 Last year the fourth was on a Fri- day which meant heavy travel on that day. This year, since the Fourth is on Saturday and since long pleasure trips are "out," the holiday traffic on Friday should not be heavy, Commissioner Mccarthy said.

SUMMARY PROCESS ACTION APPROVED

The sixth summary process action since the start of the OPA rent con- trol program was approved yester- day in municipal court by Judge T. E. Conway. Patrick Harti- gan established the fact that he de- sired premises on South street oc- cupied by Frederick Fisher for his own use. Hartigan said he bought the Fisher home when he received notice to move from his present home.
 Judge Conway said there was nothing for him to do but grant the eviction petition under the cir cumstances, although Mrs. Fisher stated she has combed the town looking for a rent.

 (NEA Service Staff COrrespOndent)
 An Army Port of Embarkation July 1-The gray-painted troop ships, loaded and ready to sail, are getting up steam. Long before this story sees print, they will have slipped out into the moonless night, made their secret rendezvous with a convoy, and, perhaps, even reached their war r-zone destinations.
 But now they are facing the voy- age. The most hazardous aspects of troop movements are still ahead of them. Yet the most difficult part of troop movement has ended. It was over few moments ago. when the last soldier and the last piece of equipment had passed through this port and onto the ships.
 Watching this operation, you understand the significance of the motto which hangs in the port ad- ministration building: When it has been finally decided that the thing is impossible to do, someone will come along and do it."
 MANY PROBLEMS
 OF TIMING
 There are literally thousands of problems in timing. The movement of men and supplies must meet convoy schedules prepared when the troopships which will transport them are, perhaps, on the other side of the world.
 The operation which has just ended with the loading of the ships had been planned for many weeks. It started with the Operations Di- vision of the War Department General Staff. It told the Trans portation Service-one of the di- visions of the Service of Supply that certain units and cargoes were needed in an overseas theater of operation. Together, consulting with the Navy for convoy schedules weks hence, they figures out what ships would be available, when and where.
 BRING FEW
 SUPPLIES
 Unit and port commanders con- cerned were thereupon "alerted." The directive stated that the units twill go overseas and will report to the port at time and place designated by the port commander" From here on the port commander runs the show.
 A unit going overseas brings comparatively little of its supplies with 1t to the port of embarkation. Much of its equipment comes from quartermasters depots located all over the United States. This must be routed to the port, yet not ar rive too soon, lest 1t jam up the yards and warehouses already chock- full of cargoes for other con- voys sailing before 1t.
 Nothing can enter the port ex- cept on orders from the port quar- termaster. Shipments for this con- voy started flowing toward the port almost the same day that this troop movement was decided on.
 But they did not come directly here. The port quartermaster first directed them into a holding and reconsignment depot. This is storage area, perhaps hundreds of miles behind the port, which holds fin transit" shipments until the port is ready to receive them.
 For many days shipments for this
