RUBBER PROGRAM
NOT YET SOLVED
NOn.Essential Motorists
Cannot Expect New Tires
for Long Time
BY JEWEL SPANGLER
United Press staff Correspondent

Washington, May l7-(UP) Rub
Der Director william M. Jeffers re-
ported today that 30,000,000 new
tires will be produced in 1914 but
that n-esSential motorists cannot
expect new tires for long time.
1.-THE rubber problem" he said in
his third progress report, lis long
way toward solution, and we are
every day nearer to the time when
we can put the construction OF rub
Der plants, as a problem, behind us.
I'm short, while the rubber pro-
gram is not yet solved, 1t is in the
best shape it has ever BEEN"
He said that 30000,000 new tires
Is the probable minimum replace
ment program that the country can
get by with next year and that this
figure forecasts retention of present
conservation measures, maintenance
of present driving speeds and gen.
eral recapping.
The rubber crisis, he said will
come in the next four to six months,
during which time most of the syn
thetic plants will have been built
and turned over to operators who
will be held strictly accountable for
performance.
The report added that every
American must realize that except
for essential necessities, rubber cam
not become a general available COM
modify for long time and conser-
walton must continue.

BEN|TO WARNED
TO STAY AS IS
Hitler Plagued By Suspi-
ciOn of ItaIy's Trust.
wOrthiness
owl photo from NEA
BY UNITED PRESS

Underground report from Europe
said today that Adolf Hitler, plagued
by suspicion of Ttaly's truhtworth-
mess had warned Bcnlto MussolInl
that "the NEST severe measures"
would be taken II any Fascist group
tried TO sell out TO the Allies.
Mounting reports indicated Hitler
was perturbed over the possibilities
that italy might surrender or seek
some sort OF peace with the Allies,
giving the United Nations con-
itnental base for the attc * on the
main fortress of Europe.
Responsible sources In London be-
lieyed, on the basis of available IN
formation, that Italy realized to the
full the gravity OF the Fascist posi-
ton, Italian radio commentators
made no attempt TO disguise their
trepidation, pointing out that the
Allies undoubtedly would attack the
weak end of the European Axis soon,
The German radio said that even
II the enemy should succeed in es-
tablishlng a bridgehead along the
coast OF southern Europe, he will
find out what 1t means TO fight with
his back to the sea-" 1t said the de-
Tense OF Europe was organized ito
the last degree" with Axis air forces
released from Africa ready to play
q major role against any Allied
thrust through the Mediterranean.
Most London observers placed lit
tie credence In reports that Hitler
had refused to send reinforcements
to Italy. They believed Hitler and
Mussolini had taken all possible
measures to defend Italy, and that
Hitler would not dare risk the aban-
dorment of the country.
About 100000 Germans were re-
ported scattered throughout Italy,
most of them military police trans
portation corps and airmen. These
forces, their llass far short OF front
line ranking, were expected to fig
ure lightly in any Allied invasion.
Elsewhere on Europe's troubled
home front, the Nazis were reported
by the Dutch Aneta News Agency
10 have shipped 1000 Netherlands
students to Germany for forced la
Dor in the Nazi war industries after
80 per cent of all the students in
Holland refused to sign pledges low
ing to Nazi regulations.

FIRE DEPT.PAY
RAISES SOUGHT
Bill Before House Jumps
Salaries From $500 to
$1,000; Passes Senate

State Capitol, Hartford, May IT.
Especial TO the Democrat) Salary
increases ranging from $500 up to
81 300 are provided for officers Of
the Waterbury Fire department I'M
der provisions OF an amended bill
which will come up for passage IN
the house tomorrow. The senate
has already passed the measure, as
IT has one affecting the salaries OF
members of the Waterbury police
department.
Up TO now II had been stated that
the purport Of the two bills on the
police and fire departments was sim
ply to make permanent the $500
wage adjustment which members OF
these departments received this year
In conjunction with all other en-
ployes, whose salaries were not
fixed by charter. However, scrutiny
OF the bill over the weekend re-
vealed that actually the officers OF
the fire department will receive
wage increases over and above the
wage adjustment and putting them
on an equal basis with police de-
partment officers.
In the case Of the deputy chief OF
the fire department this increase
will amount TO $1,000 over the basic
salary the job pays or 81 900 over
the present figure of $4,000.
Fourteen captains Of the depart
ment will receive $4,000, represent
ing 5000 increase over basic pay,
$500 over present.
Sixteen lieutenants will receive
$500 or $700 more than basic pay
$400 over the present rate. When the
bill came before the senate last week
the new salary level for fire depart
ment was $500, but as this Is 500
more than a police lieutenant re-
ceives, change was made before
passage.

tian Island Battle Marked
By Scant Details

Washington, May II, 49,
(UP) - The Navy today
emphatically denied Japan
csc broadcast claims that
American forces had used
poison gas in their attacks
on Attu. A Navy spokesman,
commenting on the Japanese
claims, said: Enemy claims
that the U. S. Forces in the
Aleutians have used gas are
absolutely untrue"
Although Army troops are max
ing the attacks on Attu, the Navy
Is responsible for the operation and
the spokesman's comment on the
poison gas charges was presumed
TO represent both services.
There still was no word here Of
progress OF the battle on the west
ernmost OF the Aeutian string Of
Islands. But radio Tokyo, apparent

American capture OF Attn, said
American reinforcements are land

An official spokesman for the War
Department made that plain In his
weekly radio review OF the war in
which he said that the battle on
the rocky, barren island Of Attu was
another step In "the process Of
sweeping into the sea the Nips on
both Attu and Kiska."
He also confirmed that the long
