At Conference Sponsored
By University Women

War Production Board told a con-
ference Of representatives of a
women's colleges and leaders of 2.

can Association of University
Women.
Women in England participate
IN the war effort just as much as
their men do he said That i:
not true here. But it must be
completely true by the end OF 1913
Ours is job Of great magnitude
We are setting up facilities for fight
ing world war on seven seas
This war affects every citizen in
the United States,' he maintained
Our objectives cannot be met with
out complete cooperation also from
every woman. Our hope and our
anticipation is that at the end OF
l943 We will put more of our ma
tional income into war production
than any other warning country, ex-
cept possibly Germany"
Ability Demonstrated.
Mr.. Bait said women in factories
have demonstrated they can do as
good a job as men, within theil
physical capacity.
The speaker deplored "a great
misunderstanding regarding the
amounts of food being sent to Eng
land.
when you consider the net bal
ance of foods" he said, only a neg
ligIble amount Is sent to England, as
England feeds our soldiers there. It
isn't worth talking about The
British are not eating remotely as
well as We are and they are not liv-
Ing AS we'll
The theme OF the conference
sponsored by the American Associa-
ton Of University Women is how
to get college trained women into
specialized jobs In war industry. The
association regards women's colleges
as more or less untapped reservoirs
OF mathematicians. physicists, chem
lists and other highly-trained sci
entists capable Of filling urgent
needs in war industries. DR.. Kathryn
McHale, general director of the
AAUW, arranged the meeting. DR.
Helen White of the University OF

welcomed members and guests.

There are no key occupations 70,
which women should train" he
said. 1.-THE United States Employ.
ment Service says the scene
changes so rapidly figures for the
month Of May are of no use ir
July. Colleges can therefore trair
IN their own direction. 1t is safe
for colleges to retain the normal
structure of general educa ton, but
within that framework they shoulc
select special fields in which to
train women"
Roy andrews, director of ergi-
neering personnel at the Glenn L,

British soldiers are South of the Border and Roll Out the Barrel" " Although both are dated in the United States they retain their popularity in England. The British soldier, of course, includes in any songfest his own regimental ditty, often including tropical (and some times unprintable) additional verses of his own invention
 Favorite songs with the American troops in England are You Are My Sunshine and God Bless Amer ica." They have also adopted the RAF hit, i've Got SiXpence," which has a rollicking tune guaranteed to chase the worst case of blues.
 A song contest has been started by the music officer of the U. S. Army's European theater of opera tions. He has also organized more lhan 40 music groups among ths men.
 Whereas, British troops have a growing love for classical music, he said, most of our men prefer lighter stuff, because they are far from home and great music un' looses their emotions. We want to keep them happy and popular sing songs are what they like best,'

department bill singled out one par ticular department for special treat ment. He said the provisions of the bill were that the cost-of living bonus of $500 now paid each mem Der of the department be made per- manent. If this is accomplished for members Of one department he continued it will have to be done for all departments.
 Both bills were intrdouced by Senator John F. Tobin CD, Water bury.
 Despite the opposition from Rep. Membrino, the bills providing a pen- sion fund for maintenance em- ployes of the department of educa- ton and providing for the promo ton of Police Sergt. George Chat field to a captaincy were passed by the House of Representatives yes- terday. These two bills were passed recently by the Senate.
 MT. Membrino, in pointing out why he was opposed to the pension bill, said that the city now has a pension act covering all employees under which anyone with 30 years service, not necessarily consecutive, can retire on pension on reaching the age of 65, and without having paid anything into a pension fund. He pointed out that this bill re- quires the maintenance employees of the school department to pay four per cent of their wages and while it cuts the service requirements to 25 years the service must be con- tinuous. He wanted the bill tabled, but the motion was lost.
 Democratic Leader Clarie said the bill involves the question of home rule, pointing out that the House had just tabled two bills that usurped teh powers of the city ad- ministration."
 Republican Leader Marsh said 1t seems hard for the representatives and senators from Waterbury to get together on Waterbury bills. The House Democrats have been tabling so many bills think 1t is about time to stop the practice and put some bills through he added.
 Representative Membrino also voiced his opposition in the case of the assessors bill, pointing out that the assessor must be approved by two- thirds of the aldermen, thus necessitating the mayor to get the votes of two Of the minority alder men. He added that this will tend to log rolling and hamstring the which is really an attempt to put special group Of Republi- cans in office"
 The bill calls for one chief and two deputies of opposite political parties. appointed by the mayor with two-third vote of the board of aldermen.

BAG
 SCENE INTACT
Bergman and Cooper in It in "FOr Whom the Bells
 Tolls"
BY MARTIN KANE United Press Staff Correspondent


 New York, May 19. (UP)-Those who have been worrying about the sleeping bag scene in For Whom the Bell Tolls" can relax-it's in, and, what's more, Ingrid Bergman and Gary Cooper are in it together
 Akim Tamiroff, who plays Pablo in the Ernest Hemingway Opus swore on a stack of wheatcakes to- day that no profane directorial hands have been laid on the sleep ing bag. Furthermore, he said, the movie retains the political flavor of the original novel.
 "It's anti-Fascist," he said. "There can be no mistake about that. And it shows both the good and the bad sides of the communists. They won't like it any more than they liked the book"
 Actually, Tamirof does not see much that is politically significant in either the book or the picture which 1t to be released with a hoopla New York premiere the first week in July.
 "It is essentially a beautiful love story with a background of blood fighting and killings" he explained. Gary Cooper, a wonderful charac- ter, is Communist, but they show what is wrong with the Communists too. It would have to be anti Fascist because Cooper and Ingrid Bergman are anti-Fascist and you are with them from the start"
 Tamiroff, who has been touring Army and Navy camps telling sol diers and sailors how to make love in Russian in case they ever get shipped to the USSR, said proudly that he himself had scene with that sleeping bag. He admits that it won't create such a stir as the Bergman Cooper scenes
 There are several scenes of the sleeping bag" he said. Miss Berg man gets in 1t with Cooper but she is such wonderful actress, she plays it so clean, so beautifully, that there is nothing offensive about , it."
 As for his own character, Pablo, the husband of Pillar, Tamiroff says he has not seen the picture in its entirety yet but believes 1t Is a strong part. His wife is enthusi- astic about 1t, he said.
 Except" he added, "that she thinks it is too dirty"
 He hastened to add that she was referring to his makeup, which is that of an unwashed peasant.

.CTTY VICTOR IN
 SUPREME COURT
Decision in Frank BritO'S Case Upheld By States
 Highest Tribunal

Superior Court Judge Edward J. Daly's dismissal of the assessment appeal brought by Frank Brito of Waterbury against the City of Wa terbury was unheld by the State Supreme Court of Errors in a de- cision handed down today. The local owner claimed he did not receive $3, 900 worth of benefits from work in connection with the construction of the new Baldwin street bridge as found by the trial court. Damages of 5000 had been found but they were balanced by an equal finding in benefits.
 The property involved in the litigation is at Baldwin and River streets and the petitioner claimed its value was reduced when the grade of the street was changed. Quoting from another case in which it was stated The widening of a street may result in a special bene- fit to an abutting owner" the high CT court said there was no error in the original decision, and over ruled the appellants claim that the benefits were general and not spec ial.

 Allied Headquarters, North Africa, May l9 - (UP) - Allied air fleets smashed the Italian Island base of Pantelleria with 100000 pounds of high explosives in the fifth and heaviest raid since the beginning of softening Up attacks in prepara- ton for invasion Of Europe.
 Docks and airields were pulyeriz- cd by the attack, while American Flying Fortresses, escorted by light nings, struck at the West Sicilian Port of Trapani.
 At least three ships were smashed in the attacks, todays communique said. One ship, the dock area and railroad yards were hit at Trapani
 Six enemy fighter planes were shot down when they tried to break up the raid, the communique said
 A strong force of medium bonn and fighter bombers with fighter escort attacked Pantelleria, which lies between Tunisia and Sicily scoring hits on two small ships and targets in the dock area. At the air field, bombs burst among grounded planes.
 (An Italian communique, broad east by the Rome radio, said Allied planes machine gunned Reggie Calabria in Southern Italy and bombed Porto Empedocle in South srn Sicily in addition to the other raids).
 Ths Allied announcement report Id seven planes were lost in yes- serday's operations and that four enemy planes had been destroyed Ehe night before.

Songs are a different matter. As yet this war has not produced a solid, universal song hit such as Tipperary" or Pack Up Your Trou- bles,' so Tank and Tommy still sing these old favorites. Meanwhile, the search goes on for new hits, with words to keep up the fighting spirit and a rhythm to stimulate marching feet
 Instruments Scarce
 Ecch hill-Dilly band consists of ukulele, guitar, violin, drums and one or two piano accordionS. Each dance band has two saXes, a clarinet, trumpet, trombone guitar, drums and piano accordion Ca good sub stitute for the piano..
 Instruments are scarce, and a constant search is made for them, with Americans getting a fair share of the crop.
 Once the band is formed comes the question of furnishing it with music. To help solve this problem the British War Office puts out a monthly publication called tn c Army Dance Band Journal" sent 10 all commands at home and abroad as well as to U s, and Canadian forces,
 The Journal gives the score of one song for all-piece band. The sheets can bc cut so that each mu- sician has his own part, Publishing both British and American song hits, the paper has doubled It's cir. culation sinco its inception m l0il
