Germany's Foeke-Wuh 100. Has

Service presents the best possible
estimates of the new enemy craft In
this article, the second Of two which

BY NEA Service {.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10
British criticism of American
planes stems largely from the
fact that the United States has
not yet been able to deliver to
Europe or the Middle East, in
quantity, any plane which is the
equal or the superior to the best
and the latest fighter plane that
the Germans have put on the
front.
This is the new Focke-Wulf
100, powered with a BMW rad
ial-type engine said to produce
1850 horsepower, as compared
with the 1850 hip. Allison and
the 1850 hip. Rolls Royce milne
liquid cooled engines used on
most of the United Nations
fighter planes.
GERMAN PLANE USES
AMERICAN-TYPE ENGINE
Just how many of these Focke-
Wulf 1905 the Germans have is
not known, nor is it known
whether they are in quantity
production. Until recently, none
had been brought down over
England, though the details of
the plane are known to British
and u. S. authorities. It's princi-
pie advantage over British and
American combat planes is that
it is good at all attitudes up to
10000 feet.
From the designers point of
view, the important thing about
this new German plane is that
it goes back to the radiaI type
o. engine which older American
designers have long insisted was
the superior.
The British have chung to the
milne engine for their Spitfires
and Hurricanes. Thus far, Spit
fire and Messerschmitt have
fought it out on fairly even terms
throughout the war, the Spit
fire having an edge in speed and
fire power, but eclipsed by the
Me-109F's rate of climb and cell
ing.
NEW GERMAN PLANE
HAS NO CARBURETOR
The Focke-Wulf 100 surpasses
the new Spitfire v in some ways
and IL is because the Americans
do not have on the ground in
Europe plane that is superior
to the Focke-W ulf at all attitudes
that both British and American
pilots in Europe are grabbing.
Below $4,000 feet, the Focke
Wulf may have an equal in the
North American Mustang.
Evidence that the FW-190 is
not having things all its own
way with the Spitfire comes
from recent report of an en-
counter between these two
planes, in which 9 of the German
planes were shot down to three
of the British.
Two secrets of the Focke- Wulf
success are supposed to be: First,
new cowling design which
overcomes the old objection that
radial type engines develop a
undressing frontal area; sec
ond, new method of fuel in

BLAZE DAMAGES
 ROOF OF HOUSE
Fire at Baukas Residence Caused By Sparks From
 Factory Furnaces

Naugatuck, Oct. 26-A fire on the roof of three-family house owned by Frank Baukus in the rear of 55 Spring street. at 2 p. m, Satur- day., was believed to have been caused from sparks coming from the furnaces of the Eastern Mall leable Iron Go. Before the blaze was eXtinguished by firemen, sum- moned by an alarm from Box 63, damage estimated at $20O by Fire Marshal Michael F. Shea had been done to the roof.
 Several pedestrians noticed the roof afire and sent in an alarm. They went to the house to notify the occupants but only one person was at home.
 The flames were kept from spreading by the firemen, who were using chemicals. The occupants were able to remain in the house for the night.

SCHOOLS ENJOY
 WEEKLY DRILLS
Air Raid Protection Pre-. cautions Reaches High
 Point Locally

Naugatuck, Oct. 26-Superintend- ent of Schools Harold E. Chittenden has revealed that air raid protection precautions have reached a high point in Naugatuck public schools Drills were held weekly to keep the pupils well versed in their duties and obligations for test or actual air raids, every precaution possible for the protection of the children has been taken.
 The Naugatuck high school is now the best protected, best located and best equipped in the borough in the point of air raid protection. With @ ground entrance on each of the three floors 1t Is snugly set against low stone hill which affords an excellent natural protection. Heavy canvas blackout curtains have been added to the windows to make it the one real blackout building in the town. The canvas also adds extra protection against flying glass. Its cafeteria is heavily supplied with preservable foods so that it is pos- sible to feed the entire school for several meals should the occasion arise.
 All Naugatuck's public schools are equipped with air raid shelters for the safety of the pupils. Extra exits have been cut into these shelters at considerable cost for added protec- tion. All glass windows in these shelters have been boarded with strong plyWood. Each classroom has been equipped with plywood protec- tive pieces for the windows.
 The older boys have been trained to fasten these in place when an alarm has been sounded.
 The public school system does not rely on the sounding of local whis- ties go into action. A private tel- ephone from the headquarters of the Naugatuck Civilian Defense council to Mir. Chittenden's office in the Futile high school is used to trans init the first warnings.
 From this point through private telephone wires the message is sent to all schools. Each is equipped with its own sound device to warn pu- pills in all rooms. When the alarm is sounded each pupil knows what to do and action is started immedi- ately.
 The pupils who can reach their homes within eight minutes imme- diately leave the school. unless par- cnts have notified school authorities to the contrary. Older pupils are to young children to as- sist the teachers to keep track Of these tots, Tests held weekly have shown the efficiency Of the system and have proven the school author. itieg have worked out a practical arrangement to carry out the puF. pose Of the whole H,apeuyeF.
