ment planned to purchase for the"
project scheduled in the area Of the
small farming community Of Rich
land, Hanford and White Bluffs.
It was revealed, however, that an
arrangement in Benton, Grant and
Franklin counties, approximately
equal to the original acreage, will be
leased by the government and an
additional 10000 acres will be placed
in static condition as far as build
ing is concerned. In every case OF
purchase, lease or restriction, the
area engineer office stated, all pos
sible consideration commensurate
with military necessity win be given
to the tenant. .-E
The area to be leased will not be
disturbed during the cropping sea-
son in order that the farmer con-
cerned will suffer as little incon--
venience as possible. II Is the wish
Of the army engineers, the area en-
gineer office stated, that the 6armer
and other tenants be sufficiently
protected. Fair compensation VIII
be paid for the lease OF the land
and those farmers whose capital In
vestment would be damaged by an
annual lease arrangement viii have
an opportunity TO sell their land %
the government at fair prices.
Although leases will not be COM
pleted for at least another so days,

Prosser is mailing letters OF notifi-
cation this week TO those farmers
whose property will be affected, ana
reassuring them OF their fair treat
ment at the hands of the govern
ment.
The ProSser engineer office also
stated that rumors of condemnation
Of additional land for the project
near Pasco was erroneous. The
Prosser office added that although
they were unable TO make any pre-
dictions of the further requirements
Of the armed forces due 30 the wa
emergency for other purposes In the
area, as far as this project is con-
cerned, virtually all OF the land
that the government wants TO pur-
chase has already been condemned.
All persons in the Richland area
already served with an order of
possession are now being informed
that they will not have TO move as
early as they had anticipated and a
few will be able 10 remain on the
land long enough to harvest their
crops, according to the Prosser Of
flee. Settlers in the entire area are
being notified Of their individual
status as quickly as possible so they
can adjust their personal plans ac-
cordingly. .
This is in accordance with the en-
tire program OF the area engineer
office in Pasco TO make the adjust
ments necessary because Of the ex-
IRENE urgency Of this part Of the
war effort as easy as possible for
everyone concerned.

Only a Rumor

In this day of wild rumors it
takes but. little to start another.
One of the NEST persistent is the
matter of taking over a strip of
valley land. It's entirely true that
a gang of surveyors has been work
ing in that area, but they are en-
ployed by the soil conservation de-
partment and are surveying for the
drainage ditch for that locality. :

Submarine warfare has hit close
to the hearts Of the blue -noSed
baboon and the gooney birds. Ca
nary seed and bananas used to be
shipped from South America. Both
are score these days. Now the birds
eat grass seed without squawk.
Sweet potatoes are fed to the
monkeys instead of bananas. The
potato, according to the director,
contains % parts of carbohydrate
to the bananas 81 and 80 Galleries
to the bananas 80. So the monkeys
are as well if not better fed than
before. Grapes, too, are popular
monkey food. But transportation
difficulties have knocked them of
the menu.
The ZOO director has even looked
ahead to the day when even horse
meat may find itself on the ration
list. The tiger and the panther will
still be o. k. For he's worked out a
special meatless hormula. The for
mula, however is a well-guarded
ZOO secret. When the time comes,
the plan is to sell ito the manu-
facturers of dog food. That's how
good the director think 1t Is.
Food, however, is mt the gravest
of the zoos problems. What with
visitors who throw mirrors, raN
blades and chewing gum to the
monkeys, mables, whistles and toy
boats to the seals, the director says
he has more trouble with the people
than with the animals.

Akron, O., June 23.-Invention OF
a radio static neutralizer and devel-
opment of a plastic which may serve
as a substitute for rubber in many
cases were announced today.
These and other inventions were
disclosed as leaders in American
science and industrial research
gathered to dedicat the Gearyear

oratory, built and equipped at a
cost of $1,325,0O0.
The announcements came from P
w. Litchfield, Goodyear board chair
man, who said the static elimination
device is expected to be pressed into
immediate service by the armed
forces for airplanes, warships and
motorized equipment.
The device, which Litchfield said
will eliminate both atmospheric ano
man-made radio interference, is eX-
pected to be available to the public
after he war.
In one test the device, so CON-
pact it can be built into any radio
set, eliminated interference from q
Is, 000-volt spark SO effectively that
it was possible to tune in radio
program from Europe.
Also expected to come into gen.
eral use after the war is the new
plastic, which Goodyear scientists
believe may compete with rubber
and even leather in the manufac-
ture of shoes.
This plastic, named plioflex, car
be vulcanized like rubber and thus
serve as a substitute for rubber ir
wide variety of cases, Litchfielc
said. Other plastics do not possess
the vulcanizing quality, he added.

The director of New York's Cen
trail Park ZOO goes about meal
planning in a strictly scientific
manner. Fats, vitamins, carbohy-
drates and proteins are served to
epicurean elephants and gourmet
giraffes as carefully as at cafe
terra. Sides of red meat hang in
one large refrigerator room, vege-
tables in bins ae store in another.

Big Cats Get Horse Meat
The ZOO director saw the meat
rationing handwriting on the wall
more than year ago and switched
the giant ctas from beef to horse
meat. A few of them turned up
their whiskers. But a day of hun
ger brought them around. Now they
put away $50 pounds a day, the
equivalent of roughly a thousand
beef points and way over that one
of us eats in a year.
Fish ration gis black cloud on
the horizon. If thesupply becomes
limited the director says he will
write to the. QUA asking ration
books for each of his seals.
Seals, it seems, are versatile In
everything but gastronomics. They
won't and don't eat anything but
fish.
There was a crisis in the hippo

| Lamoureux urged his listeners to
exercise reasonable care to make
the holiday a happy one and to do
their part in eliminating accidents.
He particularly warned against the
following:
l. Powder burns from fireworks.
Although fireworks will be used
much less than in former years,
Doctor LamoureuX Warned> that
powder burns may be accompanied
by the introduction of tetanus spores
into the skin with the eventual de-
velopment of lockjaW, or tetanus.
Preventive measures are available
for this disease and are being used
by the Army and Navy. The State
Department of Health is advocat-
ing that all children be immunized
against the disease when they are
infants, and that additional or
booster" doses be given as the
children grow older in order to
maintain this active immunity. An
antitoxin is also available and
should be given at the time of in
jury as temporary protection to
those who have not been immun-
lied.
2. Automobile accidents. AL
though travel is restricted, the dim
out makes it necessary for both
the motorist and pedestrian to be
especially careful.
3. Drowning. Those VINO do get
to a shore or lake should not 60
out beyond their depth, or go SWIM
ming after eating heavily. Boaters
should also be careful to avoid
rocking or tipping their boat.
4. Poison ivy. This should be
watched for, identified and avoided
by those who go on picnics in the
country
5. Sunburn, heat stroke or heat
exhaustion. Those who indulge in
sports over prolonged periods or at
tend lengthy parades under the
scorching sun should be prepared
for such health hazards.
6. Food poisoning Foods should
| be properly prepared, protected and
| refrigerated so that food poisoning
will not occur.
7. Drinking water from streams
that may be polluted, though they
look clear, is health danger to
be avoided.
8. Home accidents. These always
head the list of all accidents. so
beware for no doubt many will be
! spending the holiday at home.
Since many of these hazards are
present not only on the holiday,
but all through the summer months,
Doctor Lamoureux urged his listen
ers to exert caution at all times.

Dangerous Hazards
Loom For July 18th
Modes Changed, Say Health Officials; Drownings,
Auto Accidents, Food Drink Poisoning Still Peril

A warning that dangers still exist
in Fourth of July celebrations al
though modes of celebrating will be
somewhat different this year, was
given by Eugene E. Lamoureux, M.
D., epidemiologist of the Bureau of
Preventable Diseases, in the weekly
broadcast of the State Department
of Health.
This year, instead of using even
the reduced amount of fireworks
that have prevailed in other years,
most people will spend the holiday
in sports, picnics, parades, concerts,
swimming, boating, camping, and
home activities, that is insofar as
such recreation centers are within
reach. Yet each method of recrea-
ton presents hazard and Doctor

Recent dramatic developments
appear to show that the Nazis
who staked all on the U-boat war,
have lost. Appear" is the word,
despite the wave of optimism in
this country since the glowing re-
port to parliament by Mr.. Church
ill. That, and other reports on be-
half of the Royal Navy, glow trife
too rosily for certain American OBJ
servers.
They warn that while the United
Nations are beginning really to beat
the U-boat, it will be some time
yet before it is downed, and the tide
of the undersea battle may swing
back against us as suddenly as it
has swung for us. They urge aver
age Americans to take balanced
view.
MAY WAS BANNER MONTH
On the optimistic SIDE, every
prospect pleases. May was among
the very best months in nearly
four years of war. The Germans
sank fewer ships, and we built three
times what we lost. The Germans
lost more submarines than ever
Churchill says-for the first time,
more than they built, but some
Americans wonder. However .
These results came from new
methods and new weapons. We
have finally achieved real produc-
ton of several types of light craft
that can not only escort conveys
but seek and attack U-boats on the
high seas. We have driven the subs
from coastal waters, thanks largely
to more airplanes and improved
cooperation, especially in long
range patrol, which has closed the
500-mile gap at sea that was with
out benefit of umbrella.
We have also more light aircraft
carriers to escort conveys, and an
aerial depth-pomb. After some
wrangling we will probably try
launching helicopters from cargo
ships to hover over conveys. There
are far fewer German air attacks
on conveys.
ir-bombing of submarine bases
really began after the NaziS had
built concrete garages" to protect
submarines, but bombs are damag-
ing repair shops and other install
lations.
Also we shall have built by jan
uary 1, 27,OOO,000 tons of cargo ships
including many of faster, stronger
types. Last, we have new secret de-
vices which thus far battle the
enemy.
On the cautious side observers
hope no single device is playing
as large a part in this crisis as
some stories indicate, for the his
tory of war shows it is easier to
counter single weapon than a
scheme of campaign based on many
factors. That helps account for the
sudden ups and downs OF submarine
warfare. There Is no panacea Tor
the plague of U-boat that only two
months ago was sinking cargo ships
at rate to delay victory.
Submarines have been growing
in number and strength. The Nazis
have $50 at sea at once, with 300
enroute or refitting. The newer
ones can launch torpedoes from 500
feet below surface and when at
tackled, can crash-dive to nearly 900
feet-pretty deep for depth bombs
They have 5s-inch steel skins
which won crack under a depth
charge that explodes more than
twenty yards off, On the surface
they do % knots-faster than some
of our older anti-submarine craft
Against a 40-knot destroyer they
use 5-inch deck guns-and-perhaps
some 6-inchers.
In wolfpacks of six or SO, they
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1943-06-23

And 20 or 30 was just twice as
many as we were sinking a few
months ago.
Also, although our shipbuilding
is wonderful, it ought to be. The
United Nations could still use half
again as much shipping as we will
have January l.
So say the cautious ones. And
they serve up this final food-for-
thought: Suppose one reason why
we are sinking fewer submarines is
that they are lurking quietly in the
English Channel, the North Sea
and the Mediterranean to attack
the ships from which will land Brit
ish and American troops if, and
when they attempt a second front
on the Continent?
