 BATTLE REVIEWED
Scooter" Cause of Quar- rel, Arrest; Judge Sug-
 gests Peace Offering

William V. LaCapra. 25. of 76 Fairfax avenue, was given a dis charge by Judge John L. Gaffney in municipal court today on charges of breaking and entering preferred by his landlord Getano Ferrelli of 40 West Farm street.
 Ferrelli claimed that LaCapra broke open the lock on a garage in the rear of his home and entered over his protests. LaCapra ex- plained that Ferrelli's son had taken a scooter owned by his OaCapra's) son and locked 1t in the garage. He said he entered the garage only when Ferrelli refused to return the scooter.
 Judge Gaffney granted Attorney Charles Summa's motion for dis charge, commenting that the case was trivial" He suggested that La- Capra provide Ferrelli with a new lock for the door.
 Charles Hubbell, 26, of 8 Burton street, charged with assault and breach of peace was given con- tinuance until tomorrow.
 George Mozody, 19, of 46l West Main street, charged with non sup port was given a nolle.
 James Thomas, 26, of Bishop street, charged with non-support was given nolle.

next. They killed 31.500, injured 4,- 650,000 and cost $500, GOO, ,000.
 Other public accidents of all kinds killed an additional 15,000, injured 100000 and cost $4O0, 100000.
 In an effort to stem this drain on the nations man-power and woman power, President Roosevelt has called on the National Safety Coun- Gil to lead nationwide campaign to reduce accidents in traffic, indus try and the home.
 The War Production Fund to Con- serve Manpower, headed by William A. Irwin of the United States Steel corporation, has been established by leading business men and indus trialists to see that the Council is provided with sufficient funds to dc this greatly expanded wartime job.
 Commenting on the staggering loss inflicted by accidents in 1941 MT. Irwin said:
 Breaking Records
 "We Americans have been killing ourselves and each other at g record breaking rate. Since the be- ginning of the war, the vaunted Luftwaffe of the Nazis has killed 43,300 English civilians in mass air raids the like of which the world had not dreamed. But in one year we killed 102,500 of our fellow Americans through accidents alone!
 Careful Investigation over a per- iod of years by the National Safety Councils engineers has convinced us that 97 per cent of all accidents are preventable. In other words, they are due to carelessness by drivers, pedestrians, workers and housewives.
 Accidents are a disease, like ty- phoid, diphtheria or tuberculosis. A nation that can cut it's typhoid death rate 94 per cent its diphtheria death rate 94 per cent and its tu- berculosis death rate 61 per cent, which we have done since 1900 can cut it's accident rate as well. Acci- dents must be reduced for victory

State Offers Skilled Engineering Facilities in Elim
 ating Congestion, Traffic Snarls; Study Necessary

anticipate further expansion of Connecticut's war industries. This will mean greatly increased vehic- ular flow in certain arear of the state, including heavier pedestrian traffic in and around many plants,
 Traffic Patterns
 Much can be accomplished through skilled traffic engineering to ease the situation and our de- partmental facilities are at the command of community heads in achieving this objective. Traffic flow patterns are changing in a marked manner. Controls which were adequate a year ago are not effective today. Directional move ment of traffic will have to be changed. Off-street parking facili- ties for workers constitutes a biz problem as does the accident-free flow of extremely heavy vehicle traffic in and out of plants a shift-changing hours.
 "All of these problems, however vexatious, have a solution if ample study is given. The department places its traffic engineering facili. ties at the disposal of Connection communities, particularly those cit ies whose engineering departments do not include such specialized serv- ice. We feel 1t the proper function of state agency to volunteer its services in an emergency calling fol quick and united action by all ii this country is to win through ir the present war"

here at home. You must and will keep your machines 'arolling' as surely and effectively as the Amer ican tanks roll through the dust of the Libyan desert. You will keep the banner of production flying even as our bombers carry the Stars and Stripes over the west reaches of the Pacific.
 we are fighting a treacherous, tough and disgusting set of enemies the most formidable combination of gangsters in the worlds history. No conquerors in history have been guilty of more monstrous crimes against the vanquished than have the Axis powers against the helpless people they have over-run. Our enemies are strong and cunning, totally interruptions and inhuman.
 We can beat them! But 1t will take much suffering, sacrifices, time and treasure. We must send more men to war, must pay more taxes; we must put more money into war bonds s.nd stamps. Men working together effectively here at home, feeding materials to men fighting at the front, will win this war. This will assure us the retention of our i freedom. Valuing them as we do, it is unthinkable that we should not dedicate ourselves to such con- tinuous and effective work that Victory will be assured"

1O2,5OO Killed In
 Accidents In 1941
35O,OOO Permanently Injured; 9,3OO,OOO Disabled
 Cost to Nation Estimated in Billions of Dollars

Chicago, H., Aug. 18-Accidents- 97 per cent of them preveftable- cost the nation LOGO, GOO, 900 in 1941, the National Safety Council an- nounced today in issuing its an- nual statistical yearbook, ACCT- DENT FACTS.
 Even more important, the Council said, was the productive time lost through occupational accidents alone. -the-job accidents killed 18,OO0 workers, injured 1,6oo,Oo0, cost $850, 100000 and resulted in the loss of 46O,Oo0,00o man-days of work during 1941. This lost time was the equivalent of work that could have been done by 1,5o00O0 new workers, and came at a time when every hour lost delays war production needed for victory.
 1O2,5OO Killed All-accident totals in 1941 Gn- cluding occupationaD were 102,50C killed, 350,000 permanently disabled and 9,3O0,0O0 injured.
 Traffic accidents were the largest factor in rolling up the death and injury total, the Council said. Mo- tor vehicles accounted for 10000 dead, 1,45O,oo0 injured, and a cost of $1,9Oo, ,ooo. 900.

pump available for the Waterbury contract.
 It is understood that Mayor Vim cent A. Scully, Chairman Finton J. Phelan of the fire board and Chief Thomas F. Cavanaugh favor the &C., ceptance of the new apparatus with the semi-Steel pump, in view of the fact that the all-bronze pump can- not be obtained.
 Action is expected to be taken on the question at tomorIow's meeting of the fire board.
 The Peter Pirsch company points out in its letter that a "semi-steel" pump Is one which has a housing of steel instead of being all bronze. There is no corrosion in these pumps and they are in use in many cities at the present time. Only the cities which use salt water for fire fighting use all bronze pumps ex- cluSively, according to the com- munication.
 Production on the new bumper will be started as soon as word is received from the city that the change in specifications is accepta- ble.

Drink Blamed For | 5000 Automobile
 Fatalities In Al

Of the 10000 persons who were killed in automobile accidents last year, 8,O0O-one in five-had been drinking.
 This is revealed in the 1922 edition of Accident Facts, the National Safety Councils statis- tical yearbook.
 State summaries for 1941, says Accident Facts, that Il per cent of the drivers involved in fatal accidents had been drinking. These drivers were involved in one out of six accidents.
 The same summaries reported that IA per cent of the pedestri- ans killed had been drinking 1900 of the 13,60Q pedestrian deaths. The figures indicated that one in every six adult pedes- trians had been drinking.
 Says Accident Facts:-
 Although the proportion of drivers and pedestrians reported to have been drinking has in- creased in recent years, a great CT degree of completeness in fig ures reported by the states and cities could account entirely for the apparent upward trend.
 "The 1941 summaries of P states showed 27 per cent more drinking drivers than were n- volved in 1940's fatal accidents. The number of non-drinking driv- CTS in 1941 fatal accidents was up 1T per cent. The sharp increase in drunk driving accidents Is con- firmed by the Judgment and ob- servation of a committee of out standing traffic experts"

TerryvilIe, August 17-By forming a joint labor arrangement commit tee, employees of the Eagle Lock Company are doing their part to see that war production reaches its highest possible maximum in the quickest possible time, Earle L. Mill liken, manager of the Hartford WIPE District, told employees of the company at meeting at the plant here this afternoon.
 Ample production for total war can result only from people working together" said MT. Milliken, "in- ventors, designers, management, supervision, skilled craftsmen and unskilled labor. Production both as to quantity and quality depends on the sustained joint and harmonious effort of all of them.
 "The formation of your labor management committee emphasizes your will to work together to that end, tremendously and effectively; that you will not fail the men of the Army, Navy and Merchant Ma rine fighting on the far-flung fronts from the Arctic Circle to the Equa- tor, on the seven seas and on six of the continents.
 "The are fighting to protect those freedoms which we now value SO much more because of the poSSi- bility of losing them. You and all other manufacturing plants in the country are backing them up by in- surfing continuous and ample flow of supplies and implements of war for their use.
 q know that you will maintain constant effort to keep every ma chine going for every possible hour. Behind a machine which is un- necessarily idle, Turk the nasty and forbidding shadows of Hitler and Hirohito. Every stoppage of output for whatever cause helps them and postpones the hour of our ultimate victory.
 Encourage the fellow next to you who is down for any reason. If he is new and relatively inexperi- enced, help him over the rough and tough spots. Show him the how which you have learned from years of experience. There are many thousands of additional skilled workers needed in Connecticut plants before snow flies. This quota can be supplied only by training new people. The old experienced employees alone must carry the ball in this training after early instruc- tion by various training groups. In helping new workers learn and dc their jobs quickly and rightly, you are helping hit Hitler harder.

To assist densely populated Con- necticut communities in coping with unusual traf1lc conditions created in certain areas of the state because of the establishment and expansion of war industries and related activ- ities, Commissioner John T. Mo- Carthy of the Stat eDepartment of Motor Vehicles, in personal letter to the chief executives of Connec- ticut communities in excess of 10,- 900 population, offers the skilled traffic engineering facilities of his department.
 Skilled Analysis
 Through the Traffic Safety and Research Section of his department, the commissioner states in his let ter, skilled and comprehensive field surveys of traffic movement can be developed which, supported by sta tistical data from the files of the department, make possible the prac- tical application of sound engineer ing principles in not only discov- ering the causes of traf1ic snarls and congestion but solving the dihiculties through skilled analysis
 Of the 36 cities and towns in Con- necticut of 10000 Or more popula- ton, only one. the capital city of Hartford, has 8 full-time traffic en- gineer. Commissioner Mccarthy sent with his letter to the Connec- ticut municipal executives 8 special bulletin, Engineering for Traffic Safety" in which is sent forth in detail some of the current traffic problems developed by the war ef- fort and what the department feels it can do to assist communities in handling these vexatious traffic tie- ups.
 Commissioner Mccarthy points out tLat the rapid expansion of de- fense production and related busi- ness activities has placed 8 tre- mendous burden on city streets never designed to handle such a volume of vehicle movement.

Low-Elymg Army Plane Clips Tree
 Tops On West Side

An Army plane caused consider able excitement in the Bunker Hill and Yale avenue (MiddIe- bury) sections yesterday morning when, apparently in distress, it swooped low and clipped the tops of several trees before lifting to . safer altitude.
 One of the, motors of the two- engined bomber apparently was out of commission. F. P. Clough of CIuogh road teIepuhoned police at 1925 .. m. to report that the plane was in trouble and appar- ently was making landing in MiddIebury.
 Mrs. Carlson of Yale avenue telephOned to the Middlebury re- port center and officials there mo- tified Mitchell Field. Reports that the plane had landed at Bethany airport were denied by officials there.
 Motor PatrOIman Matthew Gua- rini was sent to the Chase park area to look into the matter in response to MT. ClOugh'S call.

Several Changes Made In Specifications To Get Early Delivery
Sufficient tO Obtain Apparatus Originally Ordered By Fire Board

Delivery of a new 75O-gallon bumper for the fire department will be made by January l, 1943, &C., eording to word received today by Purchasing Director Martin J. Sweeney from the Peter Pirsch com- pany of Stratford, manufacturers of fire department equipment.
 The bumper has been on order since the first of this year. The War Production Board granted the city . priority rating of A-10 which was not a high enough rating to guarantee early or in fact any de- livery.
 The Peter Pirsch company in- formed MT. Sweeney today that de- livery will be made in December, 1942, provided the city is willing to permit specification changes. Under present regulations of the War Pro- duction Board the firm will not be permitted to install the all bronze pump called for in the city's speci- fications without an AA-1 rating.
