Old Locomotive Tires
 Now Air Raid Signals
Rural Districts Find Equipment of Yester-Years More
 Practical Than New Sirens Valued at $4OO

old locomotive tires which once served as fire alarm in rural areas can now be used as efficiently as 6 $500 or $4OO siren in broadcastinG air raid alarms, a special report by the State Defense Councils air raid alarm committee, revealed today. The use of old locomotive tires, a new ly designed and easily installed acoustal reflector for steam whis- ties, and bringing every available alarm device into play were recom- mended to State Defense Admins trator Samuel H. Fisher in order to provide more complete air raid warning coverage.
 In submitting the report on Con- necticut's alarm system, Thomas E. Marston, committee secretary, point ed out that after exhaustive re- search during recent months the board of experts believes 1t extreme ly doubtful that 100 per cent alarm coverage can ever be obtained. Bet ter distribution and placement oi existing alarm devices" the report states, may provide more efficient warning system.
 RehectOrs Used
 Approximately 24 per cent of the largest cities and towns in Con. necticut and 66 per cent of the rura communities believe that their pres ent alarm system are inadequate. IT. many cities, however, the commit tee found that the installation ot "beamed" reflectors on steam whis- ties, installation of small sirens anc even the use of church bells may bring marked improvement.
 In smaller communities, particu. larly those with large rural areas the report recommends the use oi worn out locomotive tires becausG of the difficulties in procuring mechanical devices due to priori. tics. A detailed report of the acous. tical qualities of the locomotive tire with section cut out at the bot. tom reveals that it may be heard for a radius of one mile when strucl with a ten-pcund hammer. Fur ther recommendations for spreading the alarm in rural areas include tht supplementary use of air raid war denS' automobiles, equipped with g suitable gong or bell and traveline over fixed routes.
 Citing difficulties in the use oi various sound devices, the commit tee points out that the average noise in a community, interference by buildings, prevailing winds and un- suitable location of the alarm device are the principal handicaps which must be overcome. One way ir which this may be done is through the installation of sound reflectors which will "beam" steam whistle blasts and carry the alarm con- Siderably further than diffusec whistles. Fluid flow devices are also recommended for urban areas.
 Church Bells
 Tn addition to the old locomo- tive tires, the committee recom- mends air horns at service stations with compressor and air storage tanks, wider use of church bells and improved placement of firt sirens in rural or smaller com. munities.
 The Air Raid Alarm committee report, which may be tinted fol general distribution among defense officials if the demand warrants 1t includes careful and detailed study of various types of alarm devices and their relative merits and, for

 British Boat Sunk
 An East Coast Port, August 5 - (UP)-Three torpedoes fired in rapid succession ripped open and sank a medium sized British mer- chantman during a mid-July tropi- cal storm in the Caribbean, survivors reported today. Four men in the en- zine room of the ship were killed when the torpedoes exploded near them.
 The attack occurred 10 miles off a West Indian island. Three mer- chant crewmen and one naval gunner were lost in the sinking Forty-two men survived, eight of which were seriously injured. Capt. Douglas E. Edgar, 42, Ot 1 Bristol, Eng, said the first torpedo caused a terrific shudder" as il tore into the vessel port anidships shortly before dawn.
 T gaye order to shift the ballast from port to starboard in an effort to relieve the list of the ship" Ed gar said, but before this was ac- complished a second torpedo ex. pIoded in the engine room star board, followed by third in thC same spot 30-seconds later. Foul crewmen were killed when the en. zine room collapsed from the ex- plosion."
 The Briton said water was half. way up the funnep' when he ordered the ship abandoned. Two lifeboats were lowered with the majority ol the ships company while eight men were told to stand by thirC boat while the captain searched th' vessel for injured members of thu | crew.
 Aboard the ship at the time oi the attack were five hospitalizec crewmen. Edgar said they were taken off the ship without mishaT and had since recovered from theil Illness.
 The survivors were transferred from the British boat to United | States naval vessel which landed them at a West Indian port. Latei they were brought here by plane.

 Fal1 River Trouble
 Fall River, Mass, Aug. 5-(UP)- Of1cials of the thrice struck Ark wright Corp. sought to resume war production at their textile plant to- day by hiring qualified job seekers regardless of their union afalia- tions."
 The mill shut down and 1900 were maQe Idle yesterday when OI- ficials refused to comply with CIO demand that two women weavers, members of the United Textile Workers of America (AFL), be dis charged. Fifty men weavers who are members of the Textile Work CTS Union of America (CIO) had struck before the shutdown.
 Plant officials maintained that no closed shop existed and that they had the right to hire and fire at their discretion.
 We will open our doors to all qualified applicants for employment regardless of their union affilia- tion," they said.
 Stephen w. Pronicki, AFL field organizer, said the two women who are the center of the dispute would continue to report for work and that he would protest to the Na- tional Labor Relations Board. He charged the CIO with coercion in attempting to swing members from the AFT.

the first time, makes this informa- ton available to cities and towns throughout the state which are handicapped by inadequate alarm systems.
 In spite of the fact that 76 per- cent of the larger cities in Con- necticut report satisfactory alarm coverage in the built-up areas, only eleven reported adequate cOverage of outlying areas; and in towns with populations ranging from $500 to 0,990, 22 out of g reported in- adequate rural coverage. Nine of these 32 towns also reported made quate coverage in the built-up areas.
 A study of 68 rural towns with populations of less than $500 re- vealed that only 45 have adequate coverage for the built-up sections while the same number reported in- adequate alarm signals for outlying farming countryside.
