AUTOISTS WARNED
OF EXHAUST GASES
Ventilation Vital Necessity
Despite Low Tempera=
lures Say Officials

Ventilation is a necessity when
driving in cold weather in its weekly
bulletin released today.
The exhaust gases of the automo-
bile engine contain that deadly gas
carbon monoXide. This gas is COL
orless and odorless SO it gives no
warning of impending danger. A
small car in closed garage, SO often
found in residential areas, will gen.
crate enough carbon monoXide to
render a person helpless.
The action of carbon monoXide is
insidious. 1t has a stronger affinity
for hemoglobin than has oxygen, SO
the oxygen is quickly displaced,
leaving the hemoglobin without
power to carry needed oxygen to the
tissues. This change will have come
about without being apparent to the
person. At first slight headache
or muscular weakness may be no.
ticeable, though the victim may not
feel the effect of this until he starts
to move or exercise, when he be-
comes helpless ard falls. He soon
becomes unconscious and death may
follow rapidly unless he is removed
quickly to the open air for first aid
resuscitation measures which should
include the use of an inhalator
from the nearest available station.
The department. advised people to
observe the simple procedure Of
opening garage doors before starting
the engine, and keep them open
until the car has been driven from
the garage or the engine stopped.
Furthermore, the garage doors
should be equipped with substantial
hardware to keep them open even
in the face of a brisk wind for cases
of fatal poisoning are on record
where garage doors have accident
ally blown shut while the engine
was being warmed UP or the carbu-
rotor adjusted.
Cold weather warnings should also
be needed in the case of closed car
windows. No car with engine going
should be entirely closed no matter
how low the temperature outside.
Carbon monoxide may be present
in the exhaust gases which have
seeped through the car because Of
some defect in the exhaust system.
With proper ventilation in the car,
the minute amount present would
cause no i'll effect, but with windows
closed an accumulated amount may
be enough to jeopardize the health
Or even life of the occupants. Small
amounts of the gas may be espe-
cially injurious to young children.
Over long run in a closed or par
TALLY ventilated car, an accumula-
ton of minute quantities of carbon
monoxide may result in headache
and dizziness which may render the
driver less able to avoid accidents,
if not actually succumb to the eff
fectS of this deadly gas

new BRITAIN GETS
$6l,O26 PAYMENT
Federal Government Sends
Check in Lieu of Taxes
on War Housing

Sumner K. Wiley, Regional Di-
rector of the Federal Public Hous-
ing Authority, has notified the
Housing Authority Of the City of
New Britain that checks totaling
SCI, 026.82 representing payments in
lieu of taxes on War Housing Pro-
jects Ledgecrest (Conn-6O3D, Sun
vale Manor (Conn-6032), White
Oaks Conn 6033), Osgood Heights
Conn-6034, and Rockland Conn
603D, located in New Britain, Con-
necticut, will be mailed by the
United States Treasury Depart
ment. This payment is for the tax
years October 1, 1941 to October
1, 1912 and October /, 1912 to Octo-
Der 1, 1913.
The pe''ment of annual sums in
lieu of taxes to local governments
for war housing projects is pro-
vided for in an amendment to the
Lanham Act. This amendment,
approved January 81, 1912, states
that these sums shall approximate
the taxes that would have been
paid locally if the property were
not exempt from taxation. Certain
deductions are made in appropriate
cases where public services and
community improvements are pro-
vided by the Federal Government.
The payments in ieI of taxes on
War Housing Projects LedgecreSt
Conn-e03D, Sunvale Manor Conn
6032), White Oaks (Conn-6O33)
Osgood Heights Conn-603N, and
Rockland (Conn-6037>, were de-
termined by applying the tax rate
applicable in the City of New Brit
ain to the valuations approved by
the Federal Public Housing ALL
thority.
The FPHA, a unit of the Nation
al Housing Agency, has established
a uniform policy of making pay
ments in lieu of ia: es, not only on
projects built under the Lanham
Act, but on all war housing pro-
jects under its jurisdiction.
1t is anticipated that payments
in lieu of taxes on federal public
housing totaling approximately
$16,500000 will have been made
throughout the country by early
1914,

OFFICIAL STUDY
SURYEV REPORT
Reaction to Criticism OF
Assessors Office, Rec
concentrations Vague

No outstanding reaction has pre-
sented itself, so far today, to the
report made public yesterday of the
survey of the local assessors office
as conducted by State Tax Com
missioner Walter Walsh and his
committee, and the subsequent rec
ommendation that all the real prop
erty in Waterbury should be reval-
uated.
Local realtor association officials
could not be reached today for COM
ment on the report as the majority
were reported in Cleveland where
they have been attending the ma
tional conference of their associa-
ton.
The report submitted by Mr..
Walsh's Office yesterday to Mayor
Monagan suggests drastic changes
in the methods of operation of the
local assessors Office and the board
of tax review. Changes in the data
/ system used by the local Office are
suggested in radical form while an
actual physical change in the set-up
of the office proper are likewise rec
| commended.
The survey was made at the re-
quest of Mayor Monagan last sum-
mer at which time he asked Gov
ernor Baldwin to authorize the state
officials to come to Waterbury and
look into conditions here at the as
/ SCISSORS office. The move came
partly as result of the attempted
passage of bill in the legislature
this past spring, requesting that a
radical change be made in the per-
sonnet of the local office. The bill
was vetoed by Governor Baldwin,
who at that time admitted that
there were certain inequalities ex-
listing in the system being used in
Waterbury in assessing local taxable
holdings.
The survey was begun last August
and completed this week at which
time its findings were submitted to
the mayor.
There was no expression of re-
action on the part of Mayor Mon
agan and othel local officials this
morning due to the fact that they
have been unable to thoroughly
review the 81 page report.
The recommendations suggest
that expert individuals be appoint
ed to survey the taxpayers property
in an attempt to arrive at more
equalized average. Just who would
be appointed cannot be accurately
determined at sucA an early date
as this.
John j. Kilduff, chairman of the
local board of assessors, stated that
his office has "been DESTROYS Of just
such revaluatiOn survey for a long
time.

The War On
Many Fronts
(By United Press

Wy 1851
The heaviest air offensive of the
war against Germany, in which the
Allies were delivering bombs at the
rate of 100 tons an hour, went into
its third day To-Day with the Royal
Air Force attacking a chemical
plant outside Cologne.
Aground the Allies scored their
first definite gains in a week on the
italian front and the Red army
fought to repair the damage to its
Kiev salient, nicked in the tip by
G erm a n counter-aSsault which
pushed the Russians out of zhito-
mir.
Speculation on German peace
feelers cropped UP again in London,
but as usual the rep orts were
vague and theoretical. Rounding
them up and assaying them, United
Press Correspondent Edward W.
Beattie went as far as to say that
Nazi overtures looking toward peace
would seem more logical now than
ever in view of the world wide
trend Of developments against the
Axis.
TWenty-1our hours after the
Royal Air Force struck the hardest
aerial blow Of the war at Germany
with double-barreled assault or
Berlin and LuQWigshafen, it sent
another large fleet of four-motored
bombers to the Reich to pound the
I. G. Farben chemical plant at
Leverkusen outside Cologne.
The plant turns out the COM
entS of poison gas. The raid touched
off speculation on the possibility
that the British bombs may have
burst gas containers and sent lethaI
| clouds SWirling through the Rhine
valley.
Five British bombers were lost in
the nights operations, which in
GUIDED lesser blows at other target;
in Europe. The raid was on fal
lesser scale than that of the pre-.
vious night when some 1000 bonn.
bers were in action.
The British Eighth Army pulled
the Allied forces in Italy out OF
their stalemate, advancing in the
Adriatic sector to capture the town
of Perono and take control of the
southern approaches to a 12-mile
stretch of the Sangro river.
The gain enabled the British to
send patrols across the Sangro to
probe German positions beyond it
1t was made against stiff opposition
which cost the German many
casualties.
The advance Appropriated five
miles northwest of Attesa. The Fifth
Army on the other side of Italy
made slight gain north of Venafro.
The big question about the Rus
sian situation was whether the Ger
man recapture of Zhitomir meant
the beginning of N effective NTazi
counter offensive or was merely a
temporary Soviet setback which
could be remedied without impair
ing the overall significance of the
Rec Army offensive.
First indications were that the
Russians had outreached their sus-
tanning provisions in the rush west
ward from Kiev and seized Zhito-
mir with advanced forces not ctrong
enough to fend off the concentrated
German blows against the nose of
the great bulge.
Tending to support that impress
sion were the continuing Russian
gains to the north, including the
occupation of the Ovruch railroad
junction and a push more than so
miles westward from Gomel.

sets in Trust for Be-
Il loved Wife

A rscord of the last will and tes-
lament and a subsequent inventory
of the estate of the late Morris A.
Green, late prominent jeweler and
leader in Jewish circles and local
civic matters, had been filed with
the office of probate. The total
inventory of the estat reveals that
the late highly respected merchant
left an estate in the amount of
$213, 29764, the greater part OF
which, the record reveals, was
made up of his holdings and inter-
est in the M. A. Green JeWelry
store on Bank ST., for many years

its kind in New England.
The will of the late Mr.. Green

H., Harold c., and Charles E. Green
are named executors and are de-
vised and bequeathed the entire es-
tate to be held in trust, for control,
during the lifetime of the testat-
or's beloved wife, Minnie Green.
The trust is to continue for pc
riod of 20 years thereafter, the
death of the wife, unless terminal
ed by the trustees during the 20
year period under conditions of a
clause permitting such actions if
they so deem them to be feasible.
The will further stipulates that
the trustees and executors are
authorized, but not directed, to car
ry on the Cewelry) business dur
ing the continuance of the trust,
and to employ and retain the ca
pita1 which shall be employed in
such business at the time of the
testator's death.
The document further states that
the executors and trustees are au-
thorized to conduct the business as
they shall see fit, and are further
empowered to employ any one or
more sons to manage said business,
and to pay proper salaries to the
testator's wife and any children,
whether or not they are trustees or
executors of the estate. However,
the executors and TRUSTEES are en-
NoWered to sell, invest or e-invest
0ny part of the money or property
q held In trust, If in their discre-
to 1t seems teasible to do SO.
The will drawn November 3,
l941 continues with the directive
that upoc the termination of the
20 year trust, the accrued income
therefrom shall be assigned to all
the children then living, in equal
parts, to share and share alike, and
to the lawful issue of any deceased
child. Other provisions likewise
stipulate for the issue of any of the
children.
The Will concluded with the pro-
viso that nothing shall be claimed
as due or owing to me from any
child or Children of mine, unless
previous written obligations to pay
same, shall have been made to me"
The inventory of the estate re-
veals that the total is made up
principally of the following hold
fngs;
Land and buildings on the east
erly side Of South Main ST.. known
as 281-295 South Main as appraised
at $25, 1000. Miscellaneous holdings
such as stocks, bonds and personal
