SAMUEL SALAFIA
 GLAD TO BE HOME
First Sergeant Enjoying Initial FurlOugh Since
 Enlisting in l939

Naugatuck, August 5. First Sergeant Samuel Salafia, son of MT. and Mrs. Christopher Salafia of 34 German street, in the service four years and one month, is enjoying his furlought right now at his home here.
 A hail of Jap bullets at Pearl Harbor December 2, 194l, just a month before he was scheduled to return here, on leave and the sight of dead and wounded comrades taught the youngster there was more to Army work than just learn- ing a trade.
 Sergeant Salafia escaped that hail of bullets, and has since seen ac- tion in the Pacific. It was a ma ture man who today told of that incredible day when the Japs at tackled. He and a friend were en- route to church that Sunday morn ing at Wheeler Field when they heard planes overhead and saw one starting a dive.
 They ran directly toward the danger for they thought it was an American plane crashing. But when the pilot let loose burst of gunfire they halted, saw the Rising as a shelter as they worked their way to cover.
 Their closest call came when a bomb fell 100 yarIs away, Sergeant Salafia said.

Lack of Imports
Hits Crude Morket

A decline of about IA percent in total
motor fuel demand during the first
three months of l94s, as compared with
the same period in 1912 is anticipated
by the Bureau of Mines in its forecast
of demand. Crude runs to stills win be
less than percent below the first
quarter of 1912, however, and the de-
mand for domestic crude win be per-
cent greater. The gain in demand for
domestic crude viii be due to the re-
dnction in total imports. This is in
face of a withdrawal from crude stor-
age of about $4,000 bbl daily during
the last quarter Of 1912.
