Prospective Candidates In- vited to Report TOmOr=
 row Morning

Waterbury youths interested in Aviation Cadet Air Crew Training may take the mental test to be given tomorrow in the Waterbury Post Office building Civil Service Room 203 at 800 a. m.
 This plan of giving the mental test every first and third Wednes- days monthly to those interested in greater Waterbury is producing eX- cellent results according to Army officials. Based on past experience here. over 50 per cent of those par ticipating have successfully passed the mental test.
 Briefly the course consists of two months basic training followed by five months at a college or univer- sity where the men are taught Eng fish, Geography, History, Mathema- tics and Physics along with military science. The next step is flight school where cadets study from to g months depending on their classification as bombardier, naW- gator or pilot. On completion, ca dSIO d4C 6l dh0dlCSl do il5llO O1ltICIc or second lieutenants in the Army Air Forces.
 Successful IT year elders who qualify mentally and physically will be sworn in the same day but will be called to active duty on becom- ing IS or on completion of their scholastic term but not later than six months following their eight eenth birthday. Those eighteen and over who qualify must clear through their local Selective Service Board. Any American citizen from 17 through 26 may take the mental test which does not have any education al requirements.

Undercover Investigation
Proves City Condi-

An undercover investigation of
rumored vice and corruption in
Wilmington has disclosed that mo-
raj conditions are excellent and
the work and character Of law
enforcement officers Of superior
quality, it was announced late
Thursday in statement by City
Manager A. c. Nichols.
The investigation by disinter.
ested operative, authorized by the
city council acting on rumors and
implications, revealed that vice
here in spite of war time condi-
tons is neglible. Police were &C
corded the highest praise as Chief
Casteeen was commended for his
diligence and efficiency.
In disclosing the secret inquiry,
a, public statement was issued by
Mr.. Nichols which follows:
we found your police depart
ment active, alert, and diigent
and found no evidence of connec-
ton with underworld characters.
Your Chief of Police is the most
efficient and hard working we have
found "
''This is an excerpt from a re-
port that has been received from
an outside detective concern after
one of their undercover men had
been working in Wilmington during
the month of October, and is a
report that is highly gratifying to
the administration as we know
it will be to the general public.

and reports of vice and rackets

that some of our officers may

WAR MAY STRIKE
TURKEY SHORTLY
Country Virtually In Con.
flict With Axis Due
To Allied Aid
BY WILLIAM B. KING

ANKARA, Turkey, Nov. II. -
(delayeO- up - Turkey is giving
sub rosa assistance to the Allied
armed forces which closely APP
proXimates that which the United
States gave Britain in the months
before Pearl Harbor, and is vir-
tually at war with the Axis.
The secret aid, details of which
cannot be disclosed, is rapidly car
rying the nation toward a war
footing.
There is little doubt that her
course has been set and that Tur-
key will become a full-fledged
fighting mmeber of the United
Nations, probably by spring.
Continued Turkish aid to the Al
lies might lead to a token attack
by the Nazis on Turkish soil and
bring the whole gathering storm
into the open.
The Moscow conference was so
obviously a turning point in the
war that Turkey, I believe, feels
it is politically necessary that she
turn from her role of neutrality,
even though that role has been
Of tremendous benefit to the Allies.
If Turkey grants air and naval
bases to the Allies it will be tanta-
mount to open warfare. This doubt
less will not be done until Turkeys

Legislation Presents Com
promise Between
Two Bodies

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1s.
- up = The House voted
unanimously today to put
pre-war fathers at the bot
tom of the draft pool.
The legislation, approved
after less than half an hour
of debate amid predictions
that few, if any, pre-war
fathers will be needed after
the first of the year, was
sent to a recessed Senate
where it's overwhelming ap-
proval is expected Monday.
Outgrowth of a late-sum-
mer congressional drive to
halt the induction of fathers,
the legislation represents a
compromise between the Sen
ate and the House, having
been written by a conference
committee after the two
branches pa SIS d separate
bills last month.
Induction Not Prohibited
1t does not prohibit the induc-
ton of pre-war fathers but it does
require that they be called only
available non-fathers
after the nationwide pool Of avail
able non-fathers has been exhaust
ed. Available non-fathers are
those not deferred for occupation
al or other reasons.
By prohibiting the induction of
men because of their occupations,
the legislation in effect nullifies
