Poison Gas Use In
 Attu Denied By Navy
Continued from Page D

Berlin radio said reports had como from the island that the gas was used May IA and 15.
 The attack was triple -pronged affair, Yahagi said, with landings on the east, north and south. The southern forces, he said, advanced to Japanese positions inland but were forced back to the beach by a night counter attack.
 Both the Tokyo and Berlin ver- Sions indicated the attacks were strong ones in which the U. s. troops got ashore in force.
 Propaganda Plan
 The poison gas claim may be part of the propaganda screen which the Japanese will use to explain to their people the loss of Attu.
 The U. s. and British governments are pledged not to use gas unless 1t is necessary to reSa1iate against its use by the enemy.
 Neither this broadcast by Tokyo nor previous ones referred to the Japanese base on Kiska, nearby island on whcih the enemy has an- other base. Occupation of these two islands by the United States would set up more stepping stones on the road to Tokyo. They are about 700 miles from the northern Japanese Kurile Islands and Attu is 2o05 air. line miles from Tokyo.
 A Tokyo broadcast recorded by U. s. monitors quoted Inspector General Teiichi Suzuki, head of the Japanese planning board, as trying to bolster the spirits of Japanese workers on grounds there is nothing to worry about as to the future of this war"

 It is believed that Rpes. Daniel J. Mahaney and John A. Membrino will call to the attention of the house tomorrow the fact that the bills concerning Waterbury's service departments do more than merely make permanent wag adjustments.
 The local legislators also plan o point out that the fire department raise bill refers to Grade o firemen, although there Is no such grade in the department and call men re- gently placed on duty started work at the Brade B scale.

RUBBER PROGRAM
 NOT YET SOLVED
(Continued from Page D
High-lights of the report:

H1gh-lights of the report:
 The rubber construction program in the United States and Canada has a rated capacity of 850000 long tons annually, or 79 per cent of original recommendations made by the Barch rubber Investigating con- mittee.
 All synthetic rubber plants will be in production in 1944. They will pro- duce 750,000 long tons next year when it Is expected that at least 74,0O0 tons of new crude exports will be available to this country.
 The United States-Canada rubber stockpile at the end of 1943 will be 142,O00 tons, or about 10000 tons above the minimum recommended by the Baruch committee.
 Provision is being made for pro- duction of 5,0O0,OO0 new tires in 194, but none win go to non-essen- tial motorists.
 The country has two years sup ply of scrap rubber which is used for recapping.
 The armed services have cooper ated "splendidly "in cutting to a minimum their use of rubber. AS ad- ditional supplies become available, however, many uses now redudced or abandoned will be replaced"
 Allocations of rurbber for trans portation facilities have been in- creased beyond anticipation because of increased burdens upon these fa- cilities.
 Eight refinery conversion" pro- jectS have been cancelled to release critical materials to other projects. These projects were intended to pro- d.ce synthetic immediately to cover the period before the big plants came in.
 A total of 64OOO tons of "Butyl'' and 10000 tons of "Neoprene" plant capacity have been cancelled be- cause of a switch in program to meet military neds.
 The original 60,000 tons of "Thio- koln", which at the time of the Baruch report appeared to offer an emergency source of tire recapping material, was held unsuitable for present conditions and the program has been reduced to 24,000 tons.
 The Guayule program, under which use was to be made of mar ginal lands to produce rubber. has been held to fewer than 1000 tons in order to free the lands for food production.

 Preparing For Loss

Preparing For Loss
 American achievements, sup ported by naval guns and airplanes, are landing steadily on Attu, a Tokyo broadcast said today in ap- parent preparation for admitting the lass of that Japanese base in the Aleutians.
 The broadcast charged that the United States troops were using poison gas.
 The broadcast was Domei (Japanese) News Agency dispatch quoting Maj.-Gen. Nakao Yahagi, chief of the Japanese army press section.
 "Yahagi revealed that under cover of gunf1re from naval units, with the help of the air force, the enemy is continually landing fresh forces to reinforce already landed troops, the broadcast said.
 The attacks on the rocky, fog bound island which is at the vest ern end of the Aleutions stretching from Alaska toward Japan started seven days ago.
 Yahagi said the Japanese garri- son Attu annihilated a force that tried to land on the Sast coast but that landings on he northern coast had been successful.
 "A pitched battle is now in pro gress,' he added.
 Still harping on the theme that the Japanese garrison-whose strength is not known-is fighting against tremendous" odds, Yahagi sadi the Japanese troops were holding on to their positions and frequently making damaging coun- ter attacks"
 According to this version of the Attu battle, the main U. s. force hit at the east coast. The Tokyo radio said these troops were dis bursed' after moving inland to Japanese defense lines and being beaten back to the beach," The Japanese, Yahagi added, now are smashing back the troops on the northern coast of the island, which is only about 20 by 35 miles in size As heard by the United Press listening post in New York, the Tokyo dispatch made this state ment:
 "Yahagi also charged American (two words garbled by interference) resorted to the use of poison gas against the Japanese. He added the Japanese have lot retaliated with the use of poison gas"
 Previously a German DNB dis patch from Tokyo reported by the
