used to pay extra costs for the con-
struction of the second pipe line now
being laid between the city and the
reservoir system, and to retire otEer
bonds.
Controller Conlon said he favored
an early bond sale because of the
fact that Congress may soon lift eX-
emptions on municipal bonds and
the city would then have to offer a
higher rate of interest.
City Treasurer Serge A. Belanger
reported that balance Of $2,139,724
was on hand in the city treasury

such hoped-for results, the high cost
in planes, ships. ammunition, fuel
and men would be considered we'll
spent, and the raids would probably
continue with increasing vigor," the
Architectural Forum states. ION the
other hand, if U. S. citizens meet &C.
casional raids coolly and with calm,
deliberate preparation, chances are
that the raids would soon be dis
continued.
Recent European history proves
that the Axis partners are not
spendthriftS, that their military or
erations must produce results COM
parable with their costs. Thus, while
U. S. citizens must Immediately plan
and prepare in all details of passive
defense for any emergency they
should not undertake the execution
OF any OF the construction which
might seriously impair or jeopardize
the major U. S. objective of wide
spread preparation for winning the
war
The same economy of action
that will determine the frequency
and force OF enemy air raids should
guide the precautions to be taken
against them" the Architectural
Forum declares. Most important,
the U. S. public in general and the
U. S. building industry in particular
should Immediately plan for all con-
tingencies by studying permanent
blackout installations, comprehen-
sive camouflage, fire and gas pro-
tections, strengthening of existing
structures and the actual construc-
ton of splinter-proof shelters.
Under federal direction, air raid
warning systems should be (and are
being) perfected to blanket imme-
diately the coastal regions and ulti-
mately the entire country.
/ Every community along the cur
rently vulnerable coast lines should
organize itself for passive defense,
enact emergency legislation and
train its volunteer personnel to meet
all possible air raid contingencies

4 These communities should prac-
tice blackouts, using temporary and

being. While initial practices may be
only partial in effect, subsequent ef-
forts should lead progressively to the
achievement of total blackout.
/ Upon the recommendation of
military or civilian defense officials
and under the guidance OF recog-
nized experts, some existing public
utility and industrial structures
4 should be camouflaged. All new
structures in these categories should
be located, designed and built with
full attention to protective conceal
ment - both camouf1age and black
out = and to protection efficiency
Owners and managers of exist
ing buildings of all types should i'm
mediately acquaint themselves with
the technique of air raid protec-
ton.
Construction of air raid shelters
for the present should be discour-
aged"
! Along with these details and
recommendations for A. R. P. pre-
cautions, AFRAID shelter construc-
ton and protection for homes and
commercial buildings, this same
issue of the Architectural Forum
also gives data On blackout methods
and techniques, the theory and
practice of successful camouflage,
and new construction problems aris-
ing out of the need for such emer-
geny buildings as central A. r. P

OTTAWA MAY HOLD
SPECIAL ELECTION
Premier Mitchell F. Hep
burn OF Ontario Has Been
Read Out OF Party

Ottawa, Feb. 6-(UP)-The prob
ability of an early general election
was seen today in the expulsion of
Premier Mitchell F. Hepburn of On
tario by the Liberal party of his
province and the widespread con-
troversy over CONSUMPTION for over
seas service.
An extraordinary caucus" of Lib
eral party members in the House
OF Commons, from Ontario, read
Hepburn out of the party last night
for his opposition to the conscrip-
ton plebiscite and his criticism OF
the governments war effort.
1T is with regret that the said
(Ontario) Liberal members of The
House OF Commons record their dis
| approval Of the actions of Mitchell
r. Hepburn and express the belief
that he no longer represents Lib
| eralism in the province of Ontario
| a resolution said.
Coincidentally, Robert Laurier.
Ontario minister of mines, resigned
in reputation of Hepburn, and it
was reported that otner provincial
offlclals were considering quitting.
In Toronto, Hepburn said the On
tario members of Commons have
no authority in that matter. 1t
would be as ridiculous if the On
tario legislature Liberals were to
read out Prime Minister Mackenzie
King"
Hepburn's reputation does rot
affect his status in the Ontario T in
eral party, but it rules him out Of
party councils at Ottawa. His only
appeal is to the people, and he could
have the provincial legislature dis
solved and put the matter up 10
the electorate.
| King was understood to have
warned government supporters at a
caucus three days ago that an early
general election might be necessary
to clear away the confusion over
the governments consumption pleb-
iScite project.
Before the United States became
involved in the war, Canada had
voted against CONSUMPTION tor for
eign service. King since has an
nounced the governments inten-
ton to hold a plebiscite, in which
the people would be asked to re-
lease the government from its
pledge not to send conscripts abroad.
Hepburn charged that King was
playing politics and a release from
the pledge would not necessarily
mean about CONSUMPTION quickly.

StaIingrad Crisis
Revives CryFor
Second Front Now

LONDON. Sept. 16-CUP)-Many
military observers believed today
that the fall of Stalingrad could
not be long delayed, and the clamor
for a second front, which quieted
fter Prime Minister Winston
Churchill't visit to Moscow, rose
again.
The News Chronicle said the fact
that nothing could be done in the
west now to affect Stalingrad'S
fate did rot make the necessity OF
a second front less urgent, but more
so.
we ought now to be weighing
the aior risk-of Russia so Grip
pied she cannot next year put
forth her full fighting strength
against the lesser risks of an inn
mediate diversion" the New W
Chronicle said.

BY NJ. S. HANDLER

MOSCOW, Sept. 16-CUP) - The
Germans, throwing more reinforce
ments into one of the greatest bat
ties of history, forced the Russians
back today on a sector west of
Stalingrad, and front-line dispatch,
es said they had dented the city's
defenses at other points.
(The German official news agency
claimed, in a dispatch from the
'front.'" that the Germans had
reached the Volga river in the CEN
ter of Stalingrad and that violent
street and house fighting ragedo
The Germans were attacking with
a ferocity perhaps never before
euualed on the western-frontal-
approach to Stalingrad and the
Volga river line. They assaulted
with an undiminished fury on the
southwest approach, and slightly
less ferociously on the northwest.
Dispatches said the Germans
dented Soviet lines at various Points
and tried to develop the dents into
considerable wedges, but Soviet
counterattackS I'm the flangs fin
ally dislodged them in most places
and the lines we're re-Sealed.

Reds in Retreat
Into StoIin9rod

Tommy gunners made several
deep penetrations, but most also
were wiped out. One particularly
large group of Tommy-gunners was
surrounded and killed to the last
man.
Southwest of Stalingrad,. a large
tank and infantry formation sup
ported by fighters and bombers
preached Russian lines to a con-
siderable depth, but retreated after
extremely heavy attacks on their
exposed flanks. =.
This is the 25th day of the Bat
tie of Stalingrad, reckoned from
the time the Germans broke across
the Don River where it bulges clos
est to the Volga. The supreme Ger
man assault-attacks on every sec
tor of the west and southwest 'front.'.
almost never ceasing-began a week
ago this morning. For the last
three days, the fury of the assaults
has reached peak almost beyond
Imagination.
The Russians probably averted a
major disaster by refusing to retreat
when the big wedge was driven into
their lines on the southwestern ap-
proach, near an inhabited point.
