unfair to their branch of the service.
 The job of the Chemical Warfare Service is to be prepared for gas warfare, and the entire effort here at Edgewood Arsenal is directed ths. way. President Roosevelt has declared that the United States will use gas only in retaliation, even though this country is not a signatory to the Declaration of Geneva, outlawing the use of gas in warfare. Russia and Great Britain are signatories to that agreement, but Japan and the United States never ratified it so they are free to use gas, accord ing to the so-called laws of war.
 Japan has used gas against the Chinese on some 800 occasions, when backed into corner or when unable to overcome a center of resistance by other means. But so far the Japs have not user gas against American troops.
 Biggest puzzle of the war is why Hitler has not yet used gas. The quick and easy answer which Gen. eral Porter gives to that one is that so far; the Germans haven't had to use it. More than that, it would have been to the disadvantage of the Germans to use gas in their cam paigns because 1t has been a war of movement. Gas is primarily weapon for tatic or trench warfare,

Tuberculosis Toll In US. Held Unnecessary
Disease Annual Takes 3O,OOO Victims From Essential
 Industries, Nations Fighting Forces

Despite the phenomenal drops that have occurred in tuberculosis mortality during the past two de- cades, the disease still robs the Uni ted States annually of more than 3O,O00 persons in age groups needed for the fighting forces, farm work and war industries, according to the statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. They show as an example that of the 60.000 deaths from tuberculosis in 1940, S2,OOO were at the ages IS to A.
 "Nor does these deaths represent the entire toll which tuberculosis takes of our fighting and productive forces" the statiSticians point out. ITO this number must be added the numerous sufferers from the disease who are incapacitated for work at a time when the most efficient use of our man power is called for"
 AS an indication, however, of the big strides made in the fight against tuberculosis. the statisti- clans say that in 1940, for example,
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-01-06

there were six states in which the death rate from the disease at ages IS to A was actually less than 20 per 100000 and another l2 states where the rates were between 20 and 30 per 100000. In contrast to this, a decade earlier only one state fell below rate of 30 per 100000. Also, in ten states, the tuberculosis death rate at ages IS to A fell by as much as 60 to 70 per cent from 1889 to 1940.
 "The states with the best records for improvement are in New Eng land and in the South, as well as in the Midwest and Far West,s the statisticians declare. There is no particularly localized section of the country in which the improvement was least evident.
 "The gains that have been made in the struggle against tuberculosis are not peculiar to any particular area of the country. The states with low mortality fare just as well in regard to extent of improvement as the states with high mortality, where the room for improvement is greater. It is apparent from this that the states and communities of this country have it within their power, to a large degree, to deter mine their progress in the fight against tuberculosis. That such con- trol is possible at the present time is of special importance.
 "The crowding of young persons at the age of life when suscepti- bility of tuberculosis is high - into hastily improvised shelters around newly developed centers of war in- dustrieS, presents grave problems to local health authorities. The prob- lem is aggravated by the shortage of medical, nursing and other skill ed help. The current situation in the battle against tuberculosis calls fol the exercise of great ingenuity, moi only to hold our present gains, but to press the fight forward. The most recent reports are indeed hearten. ing, for they show continued pro. gresS through our first year of war"

WAR DEPT. USES :.
 MANY US. HOTELS

Washington, Jan. 6-(UP) - The War Department has bought eight hotels. has condemnation proceed ingS pending for the purchase of two others, and is paying for leases on 475 additional hotels with an aggregate of 43,0eO rooms, it was revealed today.
 The disclosure was made with the publication by the joint economy committee of a report in which Sen. Harry P. Byrd, D., Va, criticized the War Departments purchase for $e,OOO, 900 of the Stevens Hotel in Chicago. Undersecretary of War Robert P. Patterson defended the transaction, which he said resulted in a financial saving to the goyern- Inent.
 In addition to It's hotel purchases. the War Department has bought three schools and Battle Creek Sanitarium, Battle Greek, Mich. the committees report disclosed. Total cost of all the purchases thus far is ahnnk AiR RnnN nnO.

.ZONINC ORDINANCE
 AMENDMENT VOTED
Renting of Rooms to Be Permitted Following In-
 spection,. Fees Payment

An amendment to the city zoning ordinance which will allow the reut- ing of rooms in A-residential dis- trict homes for the duration of the war emergency is awaiting the sig nature of Mayor Vincent A. Scully. It was approved by the board of aldermen at a meeting Monday night.
 Building Inspector John T. Hart ley estimates that there are about 5000 rooms in private homes here that are affected by the change. It is hoped that many home owners will offer rooms for rent, thereby helping to alleviate the critical housing shortage.
 Homes in which rooms offered for rent will be inspected by the building inspector and 8 g fee must be paid. No more than two persons will be allowed in any one room, and use of cooking ap- plianceS is forbidden. % 4
 The ordinance change was pro- posed by Aldermanic President John 8. Monagan: Approval by the mayor is expected.

breaking an ankle. Even sprain would have been bad.
 We reached the foot of the hin and enjoyed sudden feeling of complete safety. realized after- wards that we were all, in our re- lief, standing erect and offering good clear targets to the Germans If they could have seen us. For tunately the star light was not enough.
 We reformed lines and started che long walk home. After those tense few minutes the whole journey to base seemed more like a holiday hike than what it was, for during the first two miles were were in Germarl-held territory.
 We reached base at midnight and the German positions and details of our skirnish to the inc telligence officer. We had been out five hours on one of. the boldest patrol thrusts yet made on this front.
 The patrol began shortly after dark. We drove the first couple oi miles, to a point beyond which il was not safe for trucks to go.
 Even the truck ride was excitinl because the troops were iammed to gether and each one of them wa carrying land mine in his pocket for use if opportur1it yoffered. The detonatorS were all ready to go Everybody was mulnbling warnings: Don't bump mel We'll all be bloody well blown to hell.'
 Scrambling from the trucks VIC formed two columns and started out through No Mans Land. . The troops had been trained fol two or three years in this kind o1 night fighting, though, ms Ay oi them had not been in battle. They walked like cats, and as they moved on slowly and silently they seemed to hear and see like cats. Every little while they would suddenly lie flat on the ground and listen for any noise that might expose a Ger: man position.
 We had definite mission, scout ing enemy territory along a track which the Germans use to move supplies to the front at night. We were eager to avoid a fight.
 The patrol was demonstration of the Allied superiority in such op-- erations. The Germans rarely, on this front, try such patroling.

BOARD OF HEALTH
 TO DELAY ACTION
General Assembly May Adopt Legislation on
 Cancer Cases

Plans by the board of health to set up a program of follow-up of cancer cases were held up yesterday when the board was advised that 1t should be delayed until the Gen. eral Assembly makes cancer a re- portable disease.
 Attorney Guerin B. Carmody ad- yised that under the laws as. they now stand any physician who trans 1nits cancer diagnosis to any source not authorized by his patient he may be subject to suit for dam ages.
 pr. Creighton Barker of New Ha- ven also suggested that adoption of the plan be delayed pending ac- tion by the legislature.
 The follow-up plan had been sub- nitted month ago by Dr. Charles L. Larkin, leader of the cancer cor1- trol movement. ,
