To eliminate unessential driving by

Under the revised rules, local

Local boards may conduct hear

Where the motorist is charged
with driving over 35 miles per hour
or with abusing his tires or where an

Where a ration holders book has

M. G. Pecsok, general sales man
ager of the Osborn Manufacturing
Co., says that the bombing OF Axis
ports and docks prevents Hitler's
and Mussolini's ships from getting
rid of their barnacles.
While ship remains at sea. the
barnacles continue to cling tena-
ciously below the water line, SLOW
ing the ships speed and increasing
the consumption of fuel in the
boiler rooms.
Pecsok, whose company manu-
features the power driven brushing
wheels which help to remove bar
nacles, believes that the Nazi bat
tleship Graf Spec may have been
the victim of this form of marine
life which is attracted to moving
vessels.
The Graf Spec, scuttled off the
coast Of South America earlier In
the present war, had been kept
from dry-dock long enough to
gather a heavy barnacle load.
This tremendous drag makes a
vessel hard to maneuver and con-
sequently more vulnerable TO at
tack" Pecsok said. 1T is possible

Miss May IsaacsOn to Rep

Church at Convention

Miss May Isaacson was elected as
the official delegate Of the Senior
Luther League of Zion Lutheran
Church, to attend the annual New
England Luther League Convoca-
ton, which will be held this year in
Waterbury. Miss Vera Severson was
elected alternate, both elections
taking place at the May meeting OF
the Senior Luther League recently
held. The convocation will be held
June 5 and 6, and was the principal
topic of discussion at the recent
meeting. Committee chairmen re-
ported, and among them the regis
tration committee through Mrs,
Roland Palmer. which revealed that
the registrations were coming IN
only slowly as yet. Mrs. Malcolm
Palmer, chairman of the housing
committee, announced that good re-
suits had been obtained so far in
canVassing the membership Of the
church for overnight lodging for
the delegates.
The league president, Carl H.
Thompson, reported that SlXty-olle

ing of the pictures of Sweden a few

the Fellowship Offering received on
May 2 amounted to over seventeen
dollars. Arrangements were made
for a group of the leaguers to attend
the annual Leadership Institute OF
the Hartford District Luther League,
which will be held this Sunday af-
teruoon in the First Lutheran
Church of New Britain. The next

that the maneuverability of the
Nazi ship was cut down sharply by
its inability to go into drydock for
periodical removal of barnacles."
Pecsok explains mat barnacles
are attracted to moving vessels be-
cause the motion helps the para
sites to scoop up their food.
"They cement themselves To the
underwater surfaces in such a way
as to cause the greatest amount Of
possible resistance to the flow of
water, said. 1.-The resistance be-
comes very great when millions Of
barnacles attach themselves to a
ship"
vessels ordinarily leave the ship
ping lanes and go into drydock
about once every six months for
the removal of barnacles.
Although a great amount of re-
search has been conducted to find
an easy way to get the barnacles
off ship, they can be removed
only by the powerful blows of chip
ping hammers followed by the APP
plication of power-driven brushing
wheels.

FIRM SCORED
Local Senators Accused of
Sponsoring Bills to En-
barrass Administration

Sen. Leon RisCassi ID. HARTFORD
and Sen. James Geelan Cd, New
Haven revived their accusations
against the firm of Tobin and Sum-
ma" (both Of Waterbury, declaring
that they introduced certain" Wa
terbury bills to embarrass Mayor
John S. Monagan'S administration.
These sharp words were emitted af-
ter the passage yesterday Of the
Waterbury bills providing pension

widow, raising the salary of the fire.
men and policemen, and establish
ing a commission to investigate the
pension plan.
Throughout the heated debate,
Sen. Geelan implied that the Wa
terbury senators were acting without
the consent of the people or alder
men of Waterbury. Sen. Geelan said,
I'VE are again being asked to i'm
pose legislation on Waterbury
against the wishes of its elected Of
ficials. Why weren't these bills sub
mitted to the people or to the al
dermen?"
Sen. RisCassi declared that if the
foregoing bills are passed by both
the House and the Senate, "there is
no reason why the firm of Tobin g.
Sunma couldn't pass a bill-and
they have done pretty well so far
with the help of the majority party
of the Senate-Which would remove
the mayor from Office and appoint
themselves.
Sen. Geelan also pointed out that
the reason for some of the action
taken by the Waterbury senators is
that they (Tobin and Summa) have
some bone to pick with the admin
istration and are trying to get the
legislature to pull their chestnuts
out of the fire for them and at the
same time make 1t as hot" as they
can for the city administration.
1t was also revealed today that
Sen. Tobin joined hands with the
Senate Republicans to support a
motion made by Sen. Louis Morten-
son Or, HartfordO for suspension of
rules to allow the Senate to consider
