The Truth About Prints
THERE are some phony rules about
prints, masquerading as fashion gos-

wear prints" Truth is, small prints
tend to blur outlines =. blunt the
impression of size often are good
buys for larger women.
Another is the idea that every
young thing looks lovely in prints.
A young thing with hair that won't
stay smooth, mouth that's ruin
of chewed lipstick, would better
stick to tailoreds.
Also nonsense is the idea that
prints can't be worn to the Office.

Civil Service to Receive Applications for Opera
 tors, Inspectors

William R. Nolan, manager of the Waterbury office of the U. S Employment Service, announced to- day that representative of the Civil Service Commission will be at the Waterbury office, 123 Bank street, Thursday, July 15, from 10:30 a. m. to 3 D. m to interview persons for positions as inspectors of Naval ma- terial to be stationed at local war plants.
 These positions will pay over $2l0o a year and, to qualify, a person must have experience or training either as a machine operator or as an inspector.
 MT. Nolan stressed the importance of these positions to the war effort and declared that the guiding prin- cipal of the Navy Inspectors is that 1-10,0OO of an inch can mean the difference between life and death. He urged all those who have precis- ion measuring skill, and are not using it in the war effort, to report for interviews at the Waterbury of- flee on Thursday.
 Representative of the Civil Serv- ice Commission declared that ap- pointments of these positions will only be made in accordance with the provisions of the Waterbury Employment Sterilization Plan.

OFFICIALS CONFER
 ON BUS PROBLEMS
Police Chiefs Called Into Session at Hartford
 Today

Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin, State Police Comsr. Edward J. Hickey, chiefs of police of the states larger cities, and representatives of the ODT and the major bus companies have been invited to attend a meet ing of the state public utilities com- mission in Hartford this morning when officials will discuss the bus transportation problem, Commis- missioner Olin Fisher announced last night.
 The meeting was called by the commission as a result of the state police action Sunday to enforce the law which limits standing room in busses to 40 per cent of seating ca- pacity. "A study of the situation by this office" said Commissioner Fisher, "discloses that if the 40 per cent low were lived up to, many war workers will be unable to get to work We are going to study the situation to see if any remedy can be found."
 Here in Waterbury, bus traffic was back to normal after the week end. In only one instance were bus officials forced to turn away persons desiring to board busses.

Ever since March, 1942, the Local 251 of the CIO Mine, Mill & Shelter Workers union tried to obtain equal pay to women replacing men and performing work of equal quality.
 The VILE order authorizing the company to make the change says: "The same rates of pay shall apply on all operations which were for merly performed by men and are now being performed by women en- ployes unless there have been changes in job content whereby these operations require servicing by men employees which were not required prior to such changes"
 The average employment rate for women workers at American Brass is 66 cents an hour and the men s rate is 76 cents. The change, ac- cording to Secy. Driscoll, will mean a raise in salary from 10 to 15 cents per hour, since mems rates after three month probationary period are increased to 30 cents and greater, depending upon the type occupa- ton.
 According to the directive's terms, women employed in other branches of the American Brass Co.,, who wish to be transferred to the Metal Hose division on operations replac- ing male employees shall be given preference to all new vacancies.
 The stipulation as it concerns salary became effective the payroll week of June 21, but the union and management met yesterday to hear the unions claims for a re- troactive period commensurate with the date the CIO dispute on this score resulted. Because no agree ment was reached, the matter may go back to VILE.
 Taking part in the conference at which arrangements were made for compliance with the directive were J. Harold Madden, general labor superintendent, and Supt. c. E. Webb of the Metal Hose branch, for the company; and the follow ing c. I. O. representatives: MT. Driscoll, Walter E. Hahn, James Quilter, Joseph McEvoy, Adele Brodeur, Helen Donston, Joseph DeRosa, Charles Newell and Dom- chic Guerrero.

 NEA Military Writer

The history of our Navy in its 19 months of World War I reads like the log of ferryboat compared with the thrilling saga of the same period for World War II. That pe- riod now ends in an unofficial an- niversary, inviting contrasts and comparisons.
 After we had won our war, by land, air and sea, in 1918, Amer ican Warships had fought in only one engagement-a dashing small scale raid on Pola. Americans laid most of the North Sea mine barrage against submarines. But the Nays main tasks were inter-related; con- voying troops to France, and fight ing submarines.
 CONVOYS BEAT U-BOATS
 Compared with the British. we sank a far smaller proportion of submarines than we sink today. But what really beat the subma- rines was the adoption by all the Allies of the system of conveying merchant ships and transports that was urged by the Americans. We also contributed valuable inven- tions
 When they first forced us into the war, the Germans were sinking three times as much shipping as to- day, with fourth as many subma- rines. In this war, we have talk en longer to get more and better German submarines under control. But we have not beaten down the morale of their crews to the point of revolt, as we did in 1918.
 Comparison flees before contrast when we carry further the exanin- ation of naval war In our 19 months of World War we lost two cruisers, by mines The single blow of Pearl Harbor left us with half our battleships in the ooze But probably they did us more good there as a shocking lesson to an apathetic nation.
 In 1917, such a blow would have been fatal; our Navy was mostly battleships. We sent only 500 na- val aircraft overseas to patrol the French coast, bomb German de-

In 1918, only 414 were killed in action in the Navy. Already there have been some 5000 killed in this war, with 12,000 missing from Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard
 Today, the three forces total well over two million men. Then they had some 100000. That gives an- other contrast between what was virtually one-ocean war and what is virtually a seven-ocean war.
 We shall need yet more men, to fight submarines in the Atlantic and the Japanese battle fleet in the Pa cific. For, however outclassed the Japs may be, however suicidal the risk of giving battle to our strength ened fleet, they may decide to go down in a blaze of hara-kiri glory rather than glide meekly in and surrender as the German fleet did in 1918.

Norwalk was the only one of Con- necticut's nine towns with popula- tions above 35;000 to go through the first six months of this year with out an automobile fatality, Motor Vehicles Commissioner John T. Mccarthy pointed out in a bulletin today.
 Last year none of these towns were fatality-free and Norwalk recorded three deaths.

FISHERMEN WILL
 ASK ADJUSTMENT
Cooley Says They Will Ap= peal New Price Ceilings
 on Fresh Fish

Boston, July 13 - Manager Ed ward H. Cooley of the Massachu- setts Fisheries Association said New England Fishermen would appeal to the OPA for an adjustment of the new price ceilings on fresh fish which are effective today.
 Cooley said the appeal would be filed with OPA authorities in Wash ington within day or two. The maximum prices which become ef- fective today for 48 species of fresh fish reduce their cost by 10 to 20 per cent, varying with the species.
 Meanwhile, the War Labor Board was considering the effects of the price ceilings and was expected to report to the operators and fisher men by Thursday.
 Fishermen have threatened to tie np their boats because of the new osiling prices.
 Secretary of Interior Harold L.. Ickes last week asked fishermen to continue fishing despite their cur tailed income resulting from the new prices.
 So far as we know, all fishermen are continuing to fish today but we will file an appeal with OPA in Washington for an adjustment of the new ceiling prices in a day or two', Cooley said.
 "The prices are unreasonable and do not even provide for an equitable differential between the summer and winter fishing. In winter, a fisherman braves a great deal of hardship and yet there is no great difference between the profit he makes in the summer and that in the winter under the new ceilings. |"

pots, fight German aircraft, even sink two submarines. But we had no carriers; no one had. In 1942- '43 we had carriers which in sev- eral battles, notably Midway, launched planes that saved Austra- lia, Hawaii and possibly our Paci- fic Coast.
 More, they probably gave the United Nations time to build a naval strength, air and surface, that has secured to them the sea super iority they might have lost in this war, although they always had it in the last war. For now the Ital- ian fleet seems doomed to extinc- ton, the Germans and even per- haps the Japanese to impotence, as we Whittle down their strength in the carriers and escorting cruisers that comprise the modern striking force. Meanwhile we surpass. their battleship strength with new, fast, heavy ones with 100 times the an-

ti-aircraft power of pre-Pearl Har- bor Warships, Japan's included.
 Present Navy strength is a se- cret, but just before Pearl Harbor we had built and were building 687 Warships contrasted with PA built by January l, 1919. By July 1914 we will have 51O0 ships and over 25,000 smaller craft-a seven-sea Navy unequalled in history.
 All 1913 shipbuilding records are sunk without trace by our current program. including merchant ships of which eight million tons were launched last year and twenty mil lion will be this year. Warship building is even more miraculous. That is well, for Naval losses are far heavier. Instead of two cruisers, we have lost eight; also two battle ships, four carriers, thirty destroy CTS, nine submarines and twelve mo- tor torpedo boats. This is a Navy war: World War I wasn't.

Advice from Dad to Son and friends in the Armed Forces Don't take CD.D. to get out Of the service in hurry, the Veterans of Foreign Wars. The much discussed C.DD is Certificate of Disability Discharge and has caused more headaches than anything since the Washington "Capitallsts shouted Treasury Robbers at the veterans or World War No. 1, during the bonus controversy. Veterans recall that many a CDD. could have been Certificate of Medical Discharge, and boy, there's all the differ in the world in the two! If Uncle Sam accepts for service it is presumed that he is physically
 fit in all respects, else exceptions noted his health record. If he is ordered discharged within few months veterans reasonably presume that some alent developed the result of service and therefor medical survey should be made and the discharged favored. Under a CDD there is valid claim for disqualification compensation pension or Whatnot Under CNID there is basis for every legitimate claim The Legion, VIEW, the D.A.V. and other groups have been battling government experts at the Veterans Administration for 25 years over the "presumptive clause" veterans injuries. The Boys eign nations and ''uncivilized trbes without but when veteran of the World War files claim for injuries government 'snpers' unleash bar rage of defensive shells and demand after 25 years that the veteran name-tme place of injury why he is it is service the of his captain and ieutenants, his top sergeants mother-in-laws name, and million other questions (more less) and usually writes back "caim denied"..
