PURSUIT PLANE
 PILOT ESCAPES
Ship Cracks Up in Bristol. Going Nose First Into
 Potato Patch

Bristol, July 7.-In mechanical distress and with the weather un- favorable, an army pilot made an emergency landing on Stephenson Field at 2:5O p. m. Monday but could not prevent his fast P-37 pursuit ship from overshooting its target, crossing Redstone street and going nose first into potato patch
 The pilot, unscathed, climbed from his cockpit between and above the dual fuselage, but said army regulations prevented his identi- flying himself. The left propeller engine and landing gear were dam aged.
 About a dozen police under Police Chief Edmund s. Crowley stood guard about the ship. Hundreds of curious were attracted to the scene. Even a doWnpour heavy enough to cut off the city's electrical supply did not keep them away.
 Air corps men were on the spot inspecting the craft just before p. m. All others were kept about 50 feet distant Ey the police and a heavy rope tied to a farm tractor.
 Attendants at the airport sad the plane rolled in on a crossWind on the lcng runway. Its motors were heard racing, they said, explaining the pilot did about as good as he could to land such a hot ship on such a short field" The landing, in their. opinion. might have been less difficult under good conditions.
 The ship stopped about 100 yards from the flying field. and probably will be in condition to return to its base after emergency repairs.

LAND PURCHASES
 SEW UP STREAMS
Fish, Game Group to Seek Legislative Action to
 Aid Anglers

Protests against Sewing up" of state streams were made by mem bers of the Waterbury Fish and Game society at meeting last night at Largay,s with the result that resolution was drawn up and will be sent to the next session of the general assembly asking for the opening of all rivers and streams of the state for public fishing.
 Joseph G. Flow, association presi- dent, pointed out that land around streams is being purchased rapidly thereby closing out right of way for fishermen, who have stocked the streams with fish. Other state groups will be asked to support the petition to the general assembly.
 The organization will hold its an- nual clambake in September with MT. Fow as chairman of the ar- arrangements committee. Assisting him will be John Kullman, Donald Stills, Nelson Ballmay, Roland Turner, and Ernest Pearson. A banquet has been planned for August 1.

ICELAND TROOPS ASK FOR CHANGE
 TO CRACK JERRY
BY PHIL AULT United Press Staff Correspondent

united Press Staff Correspondent
 Akureyri, Iceland, July 7-UP)- American, British and Norwegian forces scattered over the mountains and valleys of this bleak Atlantic outpost are unanimous in asking when GO we get crack at Jerry?"
 v--.rJ aboIt a German invasion of Iceland has been replaced in this third summer of the Allied occupa- tion by a desire for positive action. Everywhere soldiers are wondering where do we go from here?"
 An inspection tour covering hun dredS of miles has satisfied Amer ican correspondents that the gar- rison is toughened by months of rugged field life, convinced that it has job to do and anxious to get at it.
 American boys who were living a year ago in city apartments and complaining about occasional bumps in the boulevards are bouncing over rock-strewn tracks in jeeps, hiking across mountains and living com- fortably if not elaborately in Nissen huts miles from the nearest towns.
 AmuSements Are Scarce
 They are happy about it, too. Even boys in isolated camps are generally contented.
 A 24-year-old lieutenant com manding one camp, called the "old man" by his younger assistants, ex- pressed it:
 We are our own masters out here. Memoranda from base head quarters sometimes take days to reach us, so we just go ahead and use our judgment. There isn't much way to amuse ourselves. but we all work hard enough that we are req dy to turn in at night
 His camp now has a motion pie ture projector It has a baseball team, but no competitors. There is fishing for spare time amusement. Particular pride of the camp is the turf sodding around the huts, which the lieutenant claims is the best in Iceland.
 Men Get Good Food
 Chief complaints are the lack of news from the outside world and slowness of mail. This is particu- larly true in winter, when roads through the mountains are snow bound and many places in Iceland can be reached only by boat or pony.
 Supplying the isolated camps is a real chore for the quartermaster. Truck conveys run regularly into one sector over a rutted, ack-breaking road called "the Burma road" Even the most lonely camps are eating well and many now are able to ob- tain free milk instead of the can- ned and powdered varieties they used for months.
 Travelling by road is still an ad- venture in Iceland. Extra cans of gasoline and water are carried for emergency purposes. It is long way between filling stations here.
 Herds of horses and sheep block the~road in cultivated valleys. At places the road, only faint track along the steep slopes, passes cas- cading mountain streams Some times the streams like the roadbed so much they turn and flow along on top of it.
 Thirty miles per hour is excessive speed and an average of 20 miles per hour is good in many places. IT dry weather a thick layer of dust hangs above the roads. In rainy times, everybody gets out and push eS.

DEALER ASSURES COAL DELIVERY
City Schools to Receive Promised Supplies States
 Local Firm

The John Massimo & Sons coal firm, low bidder for 8 contract to supply the city's schools with 5,95O tons of coal, assures the city that the fuel will be delivered, accord ing to member of the firm, Dom- chic Massimo. The firm submitted the lowest of three bids opened yes terday by Purchasing Director Mar tin J. Sweeney.
 MT. Massimo said that it had re- ceived guarantee from mine opera tors that the supply would be avail able before the bid was submitted.
 The city is anxious to secure the coal before the approach of winter, since government experts have warned that transportation prob lens may 4nake it difficult to se- cure deliveries late in the year.
 The Massimo firm submitted a bid of $793 ton for Class B soft coal and $7.54 a ton for nut stoker coal. Other bidders were the John J. Bryon Coal Co.,, and the Citizens Coal Go.

Catholic Thought And Opinion
By REV. JOSEPH F. DONNELLY

Settlers of our country and as an ir- heritance from their faith and sac- rifices we have guarded it sacredly through the years. Today 1t is g right that is again denied in great part of the world and we in Amer ica must defend 1t and must cherish it, and this both for the protection of America and for our own protec- ton.
 think we would much prefer tc continue slamming the door on these pests rather than have that freedom in any degree jeopardized.
 ANOTHER DECISION
 The Ways and Means Committee of the House has rejected the rec ommendation of MT. Randolph Paul Tax Adviser of the Secretary of the Treasury. MT. Paul is the gentleman who proposed to the committee that charitable, religious and education al groups be required to pay taxes on their income from any business they conduct, and that bequests fol special charitable purposes now de- ducted in computing estate taxes should be curtailed by law.
 The proposal, as we said before was threat to the very existence ot most of these institutions for they depend almost wholly on charity fol their existence. The program, if en- acted, would eventually bring in complete government aid and even- tually government control-the pat tern followed by the Relationships of Europe where all education and charity is under State control.
 With the decision of the Ways and Means Committee another battle has been lost by those anti-religious forces ill America who do not favor the traditional American attitude of respect, tolerance and cooperation for these groups. But though this battle has been lost the war has not been lost. We shall hear from them again. The species of anti-religious animus which moves them is very real; it brought to Europe the to- talitarianism which the American people are today pouring forth their wealth and their blood to destroy WAR IN THE LAND
 OF THE BIBLE
 The region where the battle for the Suez lifeline is being fought is one where Christianity once flour ished. It was St. Joseph who brought the Christ Child to the African con- tinent when, as the Gospel tells us fleeing the wrath of Herod he took i the child and His mother into Egypt
 Years later St. Mark and his fol- lowers went into Africa with the soldiers and merchants of Rome tc preach and to baptize and to plant the seed which flourished into one of the most glorious pages of the Church'S history. Centuries later however, that page was marred with schism and hersay and finally smear. ed with blood, when the followers ot Mohammed carrying their religion al the point of the sword made thous- ands of martyrs and crushed the church.
 The Franciscans were the first tc return to replant the Cross where the crescent reigned. The first o1 them met death as their welcome But love brought them back anc with their return came success. To. day the work of winning Northern Africa back to the Church is carried on principally by the White Father but it is a work beset with many diff. faculties and discouraging in it fruits.

OPA Plans To Keep
 Iceman Cool, Calm
UnprofitabIe Ceiling Figures to Be Readjusted to
 Prevent Any Hardship to Retail Dealers

Boston, July 7.-Steps to permit price adjustments to retail sell CTS of ice in certain areas, where a dealer is the sole practical source of ice and where continued opera tions at unprofitable ceiling figures would result in a cutting off oi supplies, were announced today by Kenneth B. Backman, New England Regional OPA administrator.
 All retail sales to ultimate con- sumers are covered by this amend ment, including those to commercial and industrial users.
 The ice regulation originally in- corporated in the General Mami- mum Price Regulation, provides fol the filing of application for ad- justment of maximum prices fol sellers at retail when two condi- tions exist. These are CD wher the ceiling price is "abnormally low in relation to the maximum price! of the same Or similar commoditie! or services established for othe, sellers at retair' and, CD when thi apllormallty "SubJectS him to sub stantial hardship"
 In certain areas, however, Marcl prices of the only supplier of ice ir the community are so low that ht cannot continue operations. How ever, he cannot show by compari- son with other merchandisers that his ceilings are abnormally low. Discontinuance of operations may result, in some cases, in completely cutting eff ice supplies to the com munity. or result in making SUD- plies available from other areas only at exceptional cost to the consum- CT. The new amendment, effec- tive June 30, 1942, will permit this seller to apply for adjustment, even where he canot show an abnormal ly low price.

In defense of Suez-the ditch she didn't want-Britain is laying down countless lives.
 A hundred miles of brackish water, edged on either side by bar ren, sandy soil-that is Suez. Yet those hundred miles of water, con- meeting link between continents, are key to an empire. Somewhere east of Suez lie oil, India and Gne Far East and shorn of these, England is envisioned by Hitler as crippled isle, easy prey.

 Conceived as an instrument for peace, the man-made stream join ing the Mediterranean on the north with the Red Sea to the south, is the object of g. titanic struggle for the second time.
 Early in this century, Germany already was casting avaricious eyes upon Suez "as the one place where England could be attacked and mortally wounded from Europe" But it was not until the first World War that she had op- portunity to test her theory and for the first time Britain was forced to fight desperately to hold this

narrow strip of land and water.
 Italy, too, has a more than meager interest in Suez, as Musso- lini well realizes. Without this water course his Ethiopian war would have been all but impossible and during that campaign Italy paid 50,000 pounds weekly in tolls for ships bound through the canal in both directions.
 In the Russo-Japanese war and the Spanish-American war, too, the canal became the highway for ships bound to battle. But though the tempests of war have touched it frequently in the past, it is un- likely that ever before has it felt the stress of conflict as it does to- day.
