The defendants claimed in papers filed in court that the plaintiff, & contestant, had signed an entry blank for the race which contained a Responsibility" clause, absolving the race track owners and all per- sons connected with the contest of liability in case of an accident. A hearing on the special defense and other technical aspects of the case was conducted on a short calendar session of superior court in June. Judge Daly in his memorandum permitted the special defense to be entered into the case.
 Atty. John H. Cassidy, counsel for the Elks lodge, explained today that under the present pleadings recovery by the plaintiff Is not possible. However, other papers are expected to be entered by the plaintiffs coun- sel in view of the new development. Tn firm of Pullman and Comley of Bridgeport is appearing for the plaintiff, while Atty. Lawrence Lewis and George Gilman repre- sent the other defendant.
 MT. Daniels sustained 8 broken back and fractured spine in the &C., cident which has caused paralysis from the shoulders down. The com- plaint states he has lost all sense of feeling in his body, arms. and legs. It also is alleged in the com plaint that an ascending kidney ailment has resulted and it will continue until 1t results in death.
 The defendants leased the race track grounds to Rudolph Caron of Norwich who managed the race. MT. Caron was originally named as co- defendant in the suit but later dropped.
 According to the complaint, the plaintiffs motorclcle struck a hole eight or IS inches deep which caused it to upset. The hole was said to be covered with dust and other loose material with 8 brush before the race.

PROTESTS STUD
 BOARD MEETING
Aldermen Face Several Highly Controversial
 Items This Evening

The August quiet hanging over the city seems certain to be broken tonight when the board of alder men meets at city hall to take up several highly controversial items. There will be protests against the ani-noise ordinance adopted a month ago, and against payment of $4,000 to the city auditing firm for rental of business machines, and also a petition from the Waterbury Master Plumbers association offer ing strong objection to the proposed new plumbing ordinance.
 Sundry other items of contro- versy may come up during the night giving the aldermen some early season practice for the state and congressional election campaigns.
 CIO spokesman will object to the $5 a day license fee for use of a sound truck, as provided in the anti-noise ordinance. Union leaders sought unsuccessfully to have Mayor Vincent A. Scully veto this section of the ordinance while approving the rest. The ordinance is not yet being enforced, pending issuance of regulations by Police Supt. William J. Roach.
 The fight against payment for use of the business machines will be led by Alderman Burton H. Walker, Republican leader. He claims that setting up an item for the payment requested by Barrow, Wade & Guthrie, city auditors, would violate the charter and will inquire why hte auditors made no mention of the church when this years budget was being set up.
 The master plumbers are hotter than the weather on the proposed plumbing ordinance. They declare that they will refuse to open up any streets if 1t is adopted, claiming that it would require them to pay prohibitive insurance costs. Under the ordinance, plumbers would be responsible for six months after an excavation for any damages.

 WILLARD'S HAND
Peace Treaty Is Negotiated Between Leaders, Who
 Split Up in l938

North Haven, Conn, August 3 - (UP)-A peace treaty appeared to- day to have been negotiated be- tween former Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin and Clarence Willard, New Haven county Republican leader, who split up at the conven- ton of 1888.
 Baldwin and Willard greeted each other with open arms Sunday at the 11th annual outing of the New Haven Republican registrars, spoke warmly about each other, and hac pictures taken together
 These gestures were taken to ir1- dicate the war between the wal party leaders was over, and that 8 period of peace was about to begin just in time for the fall political campaign.
 The Baldwin Willard break was the sensation of the 1888 state con- vention when the former governor took the platform at the gather ing and denounced the New Haven leader.

It is Walkers opinion that, when peacetime car production is resumed, your present model will be as out moded as great-grandpa's high wheeled bicycle.
 If the war isn't too long and na- tional economy isn't too seriously disrupted. Walker says, the auto in- dustry will probably swing into pro duction of 1942 models, dies and tools for which have been retained But If the conflict is drawn out and Americans pocketbooks flattened as 8 result, Walker predicts a new, lighter, cheaper vehicle to fit a lighter purse. And he not only pre- diets 1t, he is designing 1t. Here are some of the postwar cars revolutionary features:
 NO MORE PAINTING
 WICKED TENDERS
 A small, light, compact engine, using 100- -octane gasoline and hous- ed in the rear of the chassis.
 A plastic-paneled body mounted on tubular steel frame. The top, in- cidentally, can be made of transpar- ent, crystal clear plastic material such as is now used in the noses of Army bombers.
 A wheel base of 105 inches-15 to 20 inches shorter than current mod els.
 Wheels 13 inches in diameter f1NnTs f1oo 1R 3n hn1vN fNa synthetic rubber supply.
 An overall weight of about 1900 poundS-which is 1500 to 2000 pounds lighter than present-day au- tos.
 A price tag of $500 to $400.
 Walker is a pioneer in the use of plastic material for automobile manufacture, and is enthusiastic about its possibilities. For one thing he says, tests have proved that plas- tic body panels have an impact strength 10 times that of steel. Plas- tic material is much lighter than steel, hence will make a car cheaper to operate. It insulates against noise better than steel, hence quiet CT running. It also has heat-insu- lating properties which keep heat either in or out of cars interior.
 For inveterate fender r-scratchers, Walker brings the encouraging word that colors may be molded right into plastic material, eliminating the need of painting, and the danger of fading or chipping.
 As for the transparent top on the car of the future, Walker says you

to tell good executives from bad

But the curious executive function
OF today is not merely a carrying

It all goes back to that. Ten thou

BY SAMUEL GRAFTON.

I note that some are asking for
a national food director. It is a
thoughtless request. That Is the
way a democracy cries for mother.
Find the nice man, and he will fill
your coffee cup.
1t will not work. A food director
cannot obtain men to work on farms
unless the manpower director can
find them for him and give them
to him. He cannot obtain metal for
farm machinery unless the war pro-
duction director lets him have It.
He cannot fill ships with coffee un-
less the war shipping directors
permit it.
He can direct from before break
fast until late at night, but he
cannot increase our food supply sig
nificantly unless he is made superior
to all other directors, including the
general stats of Army and Navy.
Each of our other national direc-
tors is in somewhat the same Pc
culiar fix.
Let the armed forces yank too
many potential workers and there
goes Rubber Director LETTERS pro-
gram. To be absolutely sure of his
ability to make rubber, Mr.. Jeffers
would have to have the power to
tell the Army when to stop induc-
tons. Obviously, he cannot be given
that power.
Economic Sterilization Director
Byrnes can be knocked higher than
kite If the armed services take too
many men from high-pay jobs, and
if low-pay workers flow into those
jobs. altering the wage average.
The metal directors we're able to
stop the oil director from directing
oil last year by refusing to give him
steel for pipeline. (They have
just loosened up on poor Mr.. Ickes
after year) 1t didn't really mat
ter, on this issue, whether Mr.. Ickes
was good oil director or a bad one,
demon executive or sleepyhead
The net result would have been the
same, no pipeline.
Only a Way-Station.
Actually, the cry for more and
more directors, cars and admins
traitors is a cry for miracles, a cry
against planning. I think the sud-
den new emphasis on executive abil-
ity as the way out Is not a final
stage In our war effort, but only a
way station. 1t may waste much
time for us.
For if each director cannot really
direct unless he can curb all the
others we are forced back to the one
director who is in that position, the
President. He or one single delegate
must, with heavy but impartial
hand, ordain that 50 many men will
go into the Army and Navy, so many
others will be reserved for industry
and agriculture, SO much material
Will 60 to the Navy and not an
ounce more, so much of our steel
will go to war and so much will stay
home, so much petroleum will be
used for rubber and so much alcohol
Once we had such an ver-all plan
handed down from above we would
finally be able to test our executives
and tell whether they are good for
something or good for nothing. In
