WILL DAKAR BE ANOTHER SINGAPORE?l
ny yACK CANDLE

(IgEA Service War Map EdltoR)
 Dakar-Peacetame peanut port at the westernmost point of Africa may become the wars second Singapore if the United Nations and the Nazis decide to race each other for it's control.
 like Singapore, Vichy's pakar is heavily fortifled against attack by sea. Big guns and big vessels like the battleship Richelieu guard the harbor and it's approaches. A Corregidor r-like island -Go re e. stands as a sentinel in the mined waters opposite the French naval base. Care bristles with batteries, pill boxes and subterranean gun enplacements.
 Butl ike Singapore, Dakar's land approaches are not so well guarded. Motor roads and a railway run from the interior of French West Africa to the button-hook peninsula. An attacking force might seize control of these at a point east of Dakar, use them as highways for assault on the city and hit coast defenses from the rear, as the Japs did at Singapore.
 The Nazis, whose propaganda seems to presage an axis attack on Dakar, would have long, hot haul over the Sahara's sand-Swept roads to grab the Vichy outpost. While they probably would not meet much resistance from the Laval gang once they got there, they could not transport big force by sea safely, and the trans-Sahara railroad whose construction Germany Is re- ported backing is still a year or more from completion.
 United Nations forces, on the other hand, are close by in British Gambia, Sierra Leone, Gold Coast and are even reported in the neu- tral Negro republic of Liberia. At any sign the NaZis were moving on Dakar, the Allies should be able to beat the enemy to the jump.
 In Nad hands, Dakar would be a menace to Allied aid routes in the South Atlantic and a potential jumping of point for invasion of South America, only 1900 miles. In Allied hands, it would be invaluable as a naval-air base and as dock ing, repair and refueling port for ships taking aid around Africa to Russia and China.

VERDICT FAYORS
 COREY BROTHERS
AnsOnia, Seymour Plain= tiffs Lose Decision of
 Judge Booth

Decision was rendered for the de- fendants by Superior Court Judge John Rufus Booth today in the $15,000 damage suit brought by Anna Marie Furfaro of Ansonia, and Jennie and Clara FTlrfaro of Seymour, against William s. and Crien Corey of Naugatuck, doing business as the Corey Bros, Joseph A. Corey of Waterbury, John Wills of Waterbury, and Evelyn Wills, now Mrs. Dubuque, of Brooklyn, N. Y. The plaintiffs sought to recover damages as the result of injuries sustained in 6 car accident last De- cember on Meriden road.
 A hearing in the action was con- ducted last week in superior court and the plaintiffs testified they were passengers in car driven by Vim cent Furfaro at the time of the ac- cident. The Furfaro car was directly in back of one owned by the Corey Bros. and operated by Joseph Corey, while the one ahead of the Corey car was owned by John Wills and operated by the other defendant. It was alleged that the Wills car stopped suddenly causing the sec ond car to stop without warning and as a result the Furfaro car crashed into 1t.
 Judge Booth held that the plain tiffs failed to prove negligence as alleged on the grounds that the de- fendants were travelling at a high rate of speed, that they failed to keep a proper lookout or that they failed to give warning. Testimony showed, he states in his memo randum of decision, that none Of the claims was proved. The judg- ment allows the defendants to re- cover costs from the plaintiffs.
