FOAMITE QUELLS
 NORWICH BLAZE

Norwich, Conn, Jan. 25 - (U.P) A 500,000 gallon capacity storage tank caught fire today at the Le- high Petroleum Company yards on the banks of the Thames river and for several hours, until 1t was brought under control, threatened a general conflagration.
 All Norwich apparatus was called out, and a flreboat and engine com pany responded from New London to pour foamite and water on the flames as they licked at the sides of other huge tanks in the yards.
 Flames had begun to envelope one of the other tanks just as the fire was checked, and the damage was confined to the single tank which, fire officials said. was partly filled with crude oil.
 The flames shot several hundred feet into the air and reports said that an explosion preceded the fire.
 Company officials were unreach. able for an estimate of the damage or an opinion as to what caused the fire.
 Because of the danger of serious spread of the fire, emergency calls were sent throughout the state for foamite. A ton of foamite was dis patched from Middletown, and other departments closer to Norwich also rushed supplies.

CHARGES NOLLED IN VICUS CASE
Reckless Driving, Evasion Dropped; Owner of Danl-
 aged Car Reimbursed

Peter vicus, 56, of sunnyside ave- nue. was granted discharge in municipal court this morning after pleading not guilty to charges of reckless driving and evading re- sponsibility. It was understood, however, that Vicus would pay the costs of repairs on an automobile owned by Earl Fowler of 148 Co., loilial avenue.
 MT. Fowler testified in court that milk truck. operated by the ac- cused, apparently went out of con- trol on Colonial avenue, striking the Fowler car which was parked in a driveway, and crashing into a pole on the opposite side of the street. vicus said he did not realize he had struck the car. He said he got out of his own truck, ex- amined the damage done to the pole and the rear of the truck, and then continued on home. The acci- dent occurred on Jan. 10, but the case was continued until today, at the request of Attorney Clarence Balanda.
 Alonzo Styles, 25, colored, of 26 Vine street, booked on three motor vehicle counts, was fined $100 and costs.
 Joseph La Rose, 50, of IT West Liberty street, was granted an ab- solute nolle on a non-support charge.
 Panagris Makris, 55, of 476 North Main street, booked oI a charge of stealing e leather jacket, was granted suspended sentence.

I tremendous hitting power must be developed at distant and Scat- tered points, both transport and fighting equipment play . more essential part than in any previous war.
 In the early phases of the Pa- cific struggle we fought as az. gressively as we were able and yet our overall tactics were essen. italy defensive. They had to be-. The Japanese for years had been accommodating the ships and guns and planes they needed. Tn the Formosa -to-Java campaign 1t was their coordination of troops, ships and planes that beat us.
 It was only after American weapons rolled off the production lines in volume, that we went from defensive to offensive operations in the Pacific. It was only after we were able to assembl a powerful force of troops, ships and planes that we launched our first offensive campaign in the area. the battle of the Solomons.
 It is men, ships and planes that are seizingt he initiative from the Axis now-men, ships and planes in teamwork. The vessels com ing down the ways of our ship yards and the planes rolling off our production lines are part of that team. American dollars, War Bond Dollars, must keep them coming in ever increasing volume. Every time you buy War Stamp of Bond you are helping America develop the co-ordinated fighting power that will ultimately smash the Japs and Nazis, the power of men and machines teamed together. Your War Savings dollars play a very real part in the fight.

3,5OO,OOO FARM
 POSITIONS OPEN
Placements to Be Made From Persons Working
 on NOn-Essential Jobs

Washington, Jan. 25-(UP)-Food administrator Claude R. Wickard and War Manpower Chief Paul V. McNutt warned today that $500, 900 persons now engaged in non-essen- tial activities must be placed on farms when the seasonal peak is reached this summer.
 The two officials said during joint press conference that unless these Inanpower needs were filled somehow, agriculture in general faced breakdown. They met re- porters in connection with issuance by McNutt of a directive giving the Agriculture Department full responsibility for handling farm labor needs.
 McNutt and Wickard said that $500, 900 persons were engaged in farming in December and that this figure must be increased to more than 100000 if productive goals were met this year. They expected to get most of the needed workers from volunteers in urban areas.
 "The situation is extremely ser- ious," McNutt said. Tt is a matter of utilizing everything available to solve the problem
 Asked where the land army VOL unteers will come from Wickard said they would be sought in every rural and urban community. He said they must include housewives, persons employed in stores, banks, and every other business not direct- ly engaged in war work.
 Wickard stressed that the volun- teers would be paid the prevailing wage of the area in which they worked. Those taking time, year round pobs would get either the prevailing wage or 30 cents an hour whichever was higher.
 McNutt was asked if he foresaw the closing down of small firms to meet the overall man power prob- lem of war industry and agricul- ture.
 Not necessarily" he said. "But every man should ask himself today if he is doing something essential to the war effort. If not, he should move into something essential"

Marine In Upper 13 Denies Murder Count
Beautiful YOnng Bride in Lower 13 Killed on Train; Police Without Substantial Clue

the bride in lower IS, her dainty night grown stained by the blood pouring from a gaping wound in her throat. She already was dead.
 Private Harold R. wilson, of the Marines, was in upper 13, and, af- ter hours of questioning, he was held by authorities and was to be taken to Albany, Ore, today for further questioning. He told police and reporters: T am not implicated tn this crime in any manner"
 Wilson said that when he was awakened by the scream, he parted the berth curtains and saw a -burly, black-haired man in a brown, pin- stripe suit, hastening down the aisle.
 The other passengers didn't see the man, but Eugene w. Norton, Daly City, Gal, in lower il, and Private William Van Dyke, a Ma rine, in upper il, across the aisle, heard an exclamation of horror and terror which foIlowed the scream an exclamation indicating that Mrs. Martha Virginia James, 21, knew she was not alone in her berth and was about to die, and perhaps knew the identity of the slayer.
 My God, he's killing. mel" That was what Norton and Van Dyke heard. They looked out, but not in time to see the body roll out of the berth. Wilson, in upper l3, had poked his head out clickly enough, he said, to see the body roll out, ap- parently as the speeding train lurched in going around a curve.
 John Preston Funchess, 29, a waiter in the dining car, was also held as @ material witness, because he was wearing pin-stripe suit that more or less answered the de- scription Wilson gave.
 Dr. John Beeman, state crime de- lection expert, announced after a post-mortem, that Mrs. James had not been raped. Her purse con- taining STA was found in the berth and robbery was eliminated as a motive. The knife with which she was slain could not be found. Dr.. Beeman said the blade was dull, he judged from the ragged nature of the slit-like wound.
 The nature of the wound indi- cated, Dr. Beeman said, that the murdered had been splashed with Mrs. James blood and police in towns along the right-of-way of the Southern Pacific were seeking anyone who had seen a man in blood-stained clothes. The entire train had been carefully searched, with the idea that the murderer may had changed his clothes be- fore jumping of, but nothing was found.
 The murder took place near Tam gent, Ore, but the train did not stop until 1t reached here. The train slowed down enough at Tangent for the murderer to have jumped of.
 The blood-spattered Pullman car in which Mrs. James died was put on a siding and detectives were zoe ing over 1t today with minute att tention to detail, hoping to turn up a previously overlooked clue.
 Mrs. James husband, Ensign Richard James, after tour of duty at Standpoint station, near Seattle had been transferred to California He and his bride of four months were unable to get reservations in the same car or even in the same section of the train. James had been in the first section. Both had been students at William and Mary college at williamsburg, Va, and theirs had been a campus romance.
