BUSSES, TAXICABS
 ON OLD SCHEDULE
2O% Gasoline Allowance Restored By OPA; Ban
 Lifting Shortly

Buss and taxicab service in Water bury was resumed on the old sched- ules today following termination of the emergency curtailment ordered May 27. Bus companies giving serv- ice within the city indicated all of the trips cancelled when the 20 per cent reduction in gasoline usage took effect will be restored, and the taxi concern announced full sched- ule of hours will be in effect daily.
 Runs from 9 a. m. to noon and after ' D. m. were decreased by bus company officials when the curtail. ment took effect and some busses usually operating during rush-hour were taken off completely. Severa of the routes received restora. ton of service when 10 per cent increase in use of gas line was permitted recently.
 Restoration of the public trans portation service indicates the ex- pected lifting of the ban on pleas ure driving may be near at hand. OPA officials stated recently com- mercial vehicles would receive first consideration and then steps would be taken to obtain the former gal lonage value for private cars.
 Taxi-service in the city had been decreased severely when a limita- tion of 80 miles per day was set for each cab. The office was closed down between ' D. m. and n. m. for the first time in many years due to the gasoline curtailmcnt order.

Tennessee Town Heads List Of Places Axis Wants Destroyed
  ALLIES WHOLE OFFENSIVE STRATEGY HAS BEEN MADE POSSIBLE BY ALCOAS VAST ALUMINIUM PRODUCTION
By s. BURTON HEATH (NEA Stan Correspondent

Alcoa, Tenn, Aug. 16-T'his sym thetic littie community, created out of farmland by the Aluminium Con- pany of America, is Adolf Hitlers Public Enemy Number One. He fears 1t more than any other single unit in the gigantic industrial ma chine that this nation has created to become the arsenal of democracy
 This is evidenced by the fact that when eight specially trained saboteurs were landed from sub marines last year, carrying lists of installations to be destroyed the Alcoa plant was designated as their objective.
 In making that choice, the boss schemers in Germany were both realistic and farsighted. If they could have shut down this plant for any extensive period. the United Nations today would be fighting with their backs to the wall, instead of having turned the corner on the road to victory.
 Without the fantastic output of planes that Alcoa has made possible, the Allies could not have driven the Axis out of North Africa and the Japs out of Guadalcanal; there is a good chance that we might have lost Australia and perhaps Alaska; we could not now be softening up the Citadel of Europe with such pound- ing as no military objective ever has been given; our landings in Sicily would have been impossible.
 MAKES OTHER WEAPONS
 Nor, without this plant, could we have devoted the capacity of other installations to fabricating alumi- mum into many other items of arma- ment. For instance, million pounds of the light metal goes into every big battleship.
 Out of one building alone, the new North Plant, running at capacity, could come aluminium skins for all the airplanes this country is making. Because its capacity is so great and the supply of bauxite (aluminum ore) is limited, the plant has been cut back to a five-day week to free aluminium for more pressing uses. But 1t is capable, on demand, of turning out sheet aluminium for one fighter plane every two minutes all day long.
 The hampering shortage of baux- ite and consequently, of aluminium. is not to be permanent condition. From Bauxite, Ark, in a previous article, I told something of a new plant and process for the extraction of aluminium from loW-grade ore. BIGGEST IN WORLD
 The North Plant here is the big gest privately owned industrial building in the world It has 58 acres under q single roof. It is so vast that officials and supervisors and visitors, if they are wise, do not try to walk around. They ride in midget motor cars. To follow an ingot of aluminium from melting fur mace to shipping room would in- volve more than a three mile hike under this one roof.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-08-16

by the industry was being moved into other parts of the plant.
 There is series of rolling mills through which aluminium slabs are subjected to pressures up to seven million pounds. One of these has 10 housings, each of which is so big that only five freight cars in the United States are large enough to hold single housing. One of those cars had to shuttle back and forth 10 times between F tsburgh and AL coa to bring the housings here.
 That mill and another like it in the West Plant, developed to meet the demands of war, roll aluminium sheeting for airplane skins 50 times as fast as 1t was made by pre-War machinery.
 Hitler knows how deadly an enc my this plant has been and will be until the Axis has been whipped in- to submission. Uncle Sam knows, too. It would be bad form, and quick suicide, to try to get into the Alcoa Aluminium plant without ere dentials acceptable to Army guards at the gates.

At Alvoa there is reduction plant in which oxygen is extracted from alumina by an electrolytic pro- cess that requires 10 kiloWatt hours of current for every pound of the white metal. That is as much cur rent as an ordinary home electric light bulb would use while burning continuously for week. Which is why aluminium plants must be To- cated where there is almost unlimit- ed electricity.
 PRE- WAR PLANT ENLARGED
 This reduction plant and the West fabricating plant were in commercial operation before war came to the world, though they have been en- larged. Together those two build ings cover 73 acres.
 The North Plant, however, was conceived and executed as a weapon against Hitler. Ground was broken December 15. 1940, and in Septem- Der of l941, almost three months be- fore Pearl Harbor, the first ingot was poured while the roof was be- ing put onto the building and the most modern machinery conceived
