Blackout Violations
May Merit Penalties
General Outline Of Model Ordinance Creating Severe
Punishment Has Been Drawn, But Are Not
Yet Required Law

General outlines of model ordi-
nance establishing severe penalties
for violation of blackout regula-
tons have been drawn but no at
tempt to formulate specific terms
will be made until the test black
out scheduled for Sunday night,
Corporation Counsel j. Gregory
Lynch said today.
Even without a blackout ordi-
nance, Mr.. Lynch warned, those
who violate the blackout regula-
tons announced in advance by the
b1ackout committee of the Water
bury Defense Council will be sub
ject to prosecution. Action can be
taken against them, he said, under
general civil defense law or under
the broad breach of the peace stat
utS.
Submission OF an ordinance to the
board of aldermen for adoption Is
being delayed until after the test
of Sunday night, Mr.. Lynch said,
in order to ascertain how some
specific sections shall be worded.
Another factor, he said, is the pos
sibility that the State Defense
Council may, after blackout tests
have been made in all parts of the
state, recommend uniform ordt-
nances for each city and town.
Most Thorough Plan
Waterbury'S blackout Sunday will
be the most thorough yet tried In
the state. Not only must homes,
stores and advertising signs be dark
ened, but street lights will be
switched off and automobile traffic
will be halted. Hospitals will also
be blacked out, and the only lights
that will be allowed will be those
of defense plants.
Specifications about lights in de-
tense plants offer one of the prin-
cipal problems in connection with
adoption of blackout ordinance.
Naturally, civilian defense author
tiles are not seeking to interfere
with defense production and they
are wary of an ordinance whose
terms might be so broad that fac
tories could not comply with them.
If Waterbury's blackout ordinance
should be similar to those adopted
in other cities about the country,
1t would provide stiff fines and
Jail terms as penalties for refusing
to cooperate with blackout instruc-
tions.

Two Prominent Argentine Men Fought
Duel With Sabres Today, Both Wounded

Both duelists are powerfully
built men, Taborda is more than six
feet three inches In height, broad
shoulders, we'll proportioned and
handsome. Rottjer is almost as tall
heavily build, barrel chested and
long armed. He is an excellent
swordsman. Rottjer is known for
hot temper. His resignation from
the army followed scandal In
which he was accused Of cruelty to
his wife.
Rottjer complained that Taborda
in a speech last week called him q
crapulous Gntemperate) person who
was unworthy to wear military uni
form. in commenting on Rottjer's
work as federal political official.
Taborda explained that he did not
want to wait until the chamber of
deputies convened to express his
opinion. Both men are candidates
for the chamber, Taborda on the
Radical ticket, Rottjer on the con-
sentative ticket. and both are re-
garded as certain of election.

TRANSPORTATION
OF CITY WORKERS
That Is Problem to Be
Solved in Defense Plants
of Waterbury

Transportation of workers to their
Jobs in defense plants may soon be
one OF the most important factors
In Waterbury's defense production,
Mrs. Mary, E. Dewey, manager of
the local Office of the U. S. En-
ployment Service, said today In con-
firming reports that she had asked
bus companies, manufacturers and
civic agencies to confer on the prob
lem.
With the ban on sale of new tires
and with the impossibility of secur-
ing retreads, she said, many workers
will soon be faced with extreme diff
ficulty in getting to their pobs. The
situation, Mrs. Dewey believes, may
be alleviated by changes in bus
schedules and by the sharing of pri-
vate cars by groups of working peo-
pie.
Test Survey Made
A test survey similar to the one
contemplated here has been made
In Danielson, Mrs. Dewey said, and

nounced today that at least
189 officers and men died
when the destroyer Truxtun
and the naval cargo ship
Pollux were blown aground
of fthe east coast of New
foundland in a pounding
North Atlantic gale, and
smashed against the rocky
coast.
Lieutenant Commander Ralph
Hickox, 38, commanding officer OF
the Truxtun z q flush deck, fur
stacker of World War construction,
was lost. The skipper of the Pollux,
converted merchantmen less than
two years old, was saved. The Navy
did not disclose his name.
The two ships were part of a
convoy, the Navy said, and were
blown aground by winds in excess
of 60 miles an hour during day
time hours but In extremely low
visibility"
Seven officers and 80 enlisted men
were lost on the Truxtun and one
officer and 81 enlisted men on the
Pollux.
The Navy said that three other
men on the Truxtun may have been
lost.
Vessels Broke Up Quickly
The Navy attributed the heavy
loss Of life to the fact that the
vessels broke up soon after running
aground.
There was no snow at the time,
but, a Navy spokesman said, they
ran into low-flying scud that made
it difficult to pick up navigational
aids, such as buoys."
The exact location of the disaster
was not made known but the ships
were said to have grounded at point
near the entrance to Lawrence Har-
Dor, on the east coast of NeWfound-
land
The shores along this portion OF
the coast are studded with Jagged
rocks, 1t was said.
There is a high cliff at the poim
where the TruXtun and Pollu1
cracked up and narrow beach thai
made rescue operations difficult.
Heroic Efforts Failed
In the original announcement Of
the disaster, made in a morning
navy communique, it was disclosed
that crew members had made heroic
efforts to swim lines ashore. But
the lines could not be handled be.

Although definite information wa

members of the crews of one or both

Washington, Feb. 24-(UP)-A
strange lull continued today on the
Bataan jungle battlefront, as the
Japanese invaders held to their po-
sitions and refrained for the second
day from attacking Gen. Douglas
MacArthurs little army.
Behind the Filipino
lines, however, Japanese planes
dropped showers of incendiary
bombs, a war department commu-
nique said.
There was no activity of ground
troops on either side during the
past "a hours" it was stated. Yes

same report.
May BE Explanation
Military observers believed the
lull might be explained by:
Japanese preparations includ-

has been anticipating.
