Bill Would Extend
Shore Lines

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26. CUP)-
A traditional concept of interna-
tional law-that a countrys juris-
diction extends only three miles off
its shores-may be abandoned if
congress passes an Alaska fisheries
bill by Sen. Mon c. Wallgren, CD
Washington.
The measure provides that the
jurisdiction of the United States,
subject to all valid treaties, should
extend to all waters adjacent
to the coast of Alaska.
Wallgren said the provision, if
adopted, would in effect repeal the
concept of international law limit
ing national sovereignty to three
mile area offShore.

DEFINITE ACTION
 ON LABELLING PLAN
Drug Manufacturers to Meet in Hartford; Recent
 Tragedies Recalled

Hartford, Conn, June 1T - Drug manufacturers have been invited by Dairy and Food Commissioner John J. Sweeney to meeting in the state office building on June 30 to discuss plans for the distinctive labelling of preparations intended for external use.
 The meeting is the result of the Dairy and Food Commissions in- veStigation into the deaths of five infants in New London hospital from boric acid poisoning.
 The boric acid was administered in mistake for dextrose and Super- vising Inspector Herbert P. Plank's investigation revealed that the sim- ilarity in the general appearance of the labels on the two substances was at least contributory factor in the tragedy.
 Demands for a poison label on boric acid have been made in some localities but Commissioner Sweeney does not feel that this is a solution of the problem. It Is pointed out that the New London tragedy could not have occurred accidentally if the label had been read. In addi- ton. labelling boric acid as poison" might decrease the precautionary significance of the poison declara- ton on such very dangerous prepar- ations found in home as bichloride of mercury, i've and insecticides.
 The Dairy and Food Commission has, therefore. suggested that dis tinctive label be placed on all prep arations intended for external use only and that this shall consist of c large x in contrasting color on the label. This would be in addi- tion to the precautionary statements not required. An effort would then be made to inform the public that such an x means external and this would be apparent even if the label was not read.
 Many drug manufacturers have been consulted and the majority fa- vor the plan. It Is expected that a large number will attend the meet ing.

Bob" Hannegan
Late Manager of Brokerage Firm Remembered as Banker, Military Leader With Pleasing Personality - Graduate of Old
 Weton Street School
Welton Street School.

We knew Bob" Hannegan from boy-hood; he was born out here, in a way, because Orange street, years ago at least, was considered part of "Old Out East"
 and Bob" came into the world in that space of the street just north of Walnut street. He had a good schooling, starting from the old Welton school, and going right along until the top grade was reached. Tn his young days, he identified himself with the old West Side Savings Bank, which
 was associated with the old Fourth National Bank, with joint quarters in the present building at the northeast corner of Bank and Center streets. While his po- sition was minor at first, due to his age, his aptness in figures and finance, soon attracted the attention of the officers, and he made advances from year to year; at the time of his death he was associated with the we'll known Hincks Brothers and Com pany, brokers, widely known throughout Connecticut.
 Quite a number of the young c' the early nineteen hundred star ed their first savings account in the old West Side, at the earnest solicitation and erdeavors of Bob Hannegan. His persistency and urging in this respect brought him in latter years the respect and confidence of the men grown in years, after following the ad- vice and ideas of the then young bank clerk.
 Tn many of the street parades held in Waterbury since his serv- ice at the Mexican border years ago, Bob" Hannegan acted as Grand Marshal. He was a stickler in detail, and had everything properly arranged on maps and paper before the line of march was taken up.
 We liked Bob" Hannegan for his friendliness, his disposition to recognize all persons he knew, of whatever station in life his build as a military man, and his great desire to help you' in any com- plicated matter than concerned banking and of which he had knowledge. He was a fine fellow, too good to die, We think, so sud- denly, and apparently without an ache or pain before being stricken.

electrical equipment and has an important rubber industry.
 KYOTo
 Kyoto, with million inhabitants Is closely affiliated with the Osaka Kobe industrial ar.ae
 There is important shipbuilding in the prefecture, outside the city proper. Other major industries in- clude aircraft parts, chemicals, light electrical equipment and some ord- nance.
 AMAGASAKI
 This smaller city, adjacent to Kobe, is an imporant chemical cen- ter and produces substantial quan- titles of iron and steel and of elec- trical equipment.
 NAGOYA
 Nagoya, with a population of ap- proximately l,350,000, probably Is Japan's first city in production of war goods, though she is topped by the Tokyo Yokohama area as @ whole.
 In this city the plane parts made elsewhere are assembled into war planes, so that while Nagoya ranks only third in the number of factories devoted to aircraft, her output of finished planes Is believed to be first in the nation.
 The same is true of other lines in which parts made in other cities are routed to Nagoya for assembly into usable weapons. The country's second largest automobile plant, Toyada, Is located at Karomo, part of the Nagoya industrial area. With the Nissan plant in Yokohama, this before the war accounted for an overwhelming proportion of Japan's automotive production, and presurn- ably now is very important in the manufacture of tanks, jeeps, trucks, mobile artillery mounts and planes. Nagoya Is Japan's first center of machine tool manufacture and has important light electrical goods and chemical industries.
 NAGASAKI
 With Sasebo, Nagasaki ranks third in shipbuilding, behind Osaka kobe and Yokohama, and close to the top in electrical equipment, both light and heavy. She has also a significant aircraft parts industry. But Nagasaki may be even more important, because of her geograp- ical location on Kyushu, southern

is believed to share with Nagoya and Kyoto leadership in the manu- facture of bearings.
 YOKAHAMA
 Yokahama is the port for Tokyo, and aside from any specific naval installations, presumably still IS Japan's number one seaport. Ac- cordingly-again excepting navy yards-Yokahama is supposed to rank at the top in shipbuilding, Japan's number one shipbuilding company was operating in Yoka- hama at last public reports.
 The Nissan automobile plant, Japan'S biggest, at least up to Pearl Harbor, is here, and presumably, like American motor plants, IS making tanks, jeeps, tractors. mobile artil- lery mounts, truck and plane parts. TWO of the nations most impor- tant heavy electrical equipment plants probably make Yokohama tops in the production of generators, transformers and similar war-essen- tial machinery.
 Tn addition, the city is important in the chemical, machine tool, rub Der industries, and has few rela- lively unilnportant aircraft (parts) plants.
 KAWASAKI
 Kawasaki's industries resemble those of Yokohama including heavy electrical equipment, chemi- calls, some aircraft and attentive plants.
 TSURUM
 Tsurmui has chemical, steel, auto- motive and synthetic oil plants. The latter are presumed to be for insur- ance against the time when the AL lies cut off Japan's now abundant supplies of petroleum products.
 OSAKA-KOBE
 Osaka, with about the population of Chicago (around 3,260,000) and Kobe, with about 1000, 900 persons constitute almost @ single industrial center
 Considered together, they prob- ably top Yokohama in shipbuilding to take first rank in Japan; second in steel and iron; second in machine tools. Osaka is an extremely impor- tant chemical center, produces much light electrical equipment, and is an important maker of aircraft parts ordnance and bearings. Kobe is a major producer of heavy

TARGETS FOR OUR B-29'S
ntraed In 6 Cities In Six Major Areas aps y Important
By s. BURTON HEATH NEA Stan Correspondent

washington, June l7--Japanese industry is concentrated very largely in ie cities that are so grouped as to constitute six major industrial areas. Four are located on the main island of Honshu and two on the southernmost large island Kyushu.
 Tokyo, Yokahama, Kawasaki and Tsurumi, on the eastern coast Of Honshu, make up the Number One industrial center, which has peculiar psychological importance because Tokyo is the capital and Yokohama the principal seaport. Their com- bined population probably ap- breaches 5000, 900 persons.
 Osaka, Kobe, Kyoto and Amaga- sAki, in southern Honshu, rank next to the Tokyo Yokahama district in population, with about $500, 900, and are very important industrially, be- sides constituting, as group, the nations prime shipbuilding center.
 But the relatively little known Nagoya in eastern Honshu, with about the population of Los Angeles, ranks ahead of these more publi- ciEed cities in war production. In feet, Nagoya probably turns out more military material than any other single city in Japan.
 A fourth industrial center on Honshu Niigata, Nagaska and Aomi on the western coast-is of relatively minor importance. Ma gasakl, including smaller Sasebo, Is most important because 1t Is pre- sumably the port from which sails much of the military and naval trafiiic with which Allied forces in the Southwest Pacific have to con- tend. These cities also are impor- tant industrially.
 The generally unpublished Fuku- okA and Yawata are of almost as great importance to Japan as Pitts burgh Is to the United States or Birmingham to England.
 AS nearly as can be determined, about c third of Japan's industry now is located in conquered terri- tory-notably in Korea.
 Military importance of targets in Japan may be judged from the fol. lowing data concerning these six areas.
 Tokyo, metropolis of Japan, has a population of around 1000, 900, almost as large of New York city. Tthe growth of about 1000, 900 dur- ing the five years from 1885 to l940 suggests the pressure under which Japan was stepping up her indus trial activity during that period.
 As nearly as can be told, Tokyo ranks first in the manufacture of electrical equipment. particularly of the light types; first in the making of alTplane parts; second In ma- chinO tools. The city is believed to have more than 100 plants making parts for planes, most of which are assembled elsewhere; but the big gest aircraft plants are In other cities.
 Besides these, Tokyo industry plays an important part in the out nut @f chemicals, ordnance, non- ferrous metals, rubber processing, smaD iron and steel products. Her 1 industry is predominantly light. She

 Roberts Godfrey Hannegan was the full name of 6 Waterbury military man buried during the week. To those of us known to him, he was plain, simple, Bob" Hannegan. He had lived in Che- shire in past years, but before that had always resided in Waterbury, where he was born.
 There was something In the makeup of Bob Hannegan most appealing to the average citizen. He never paced the street or greeted you at the teller's cage of the bank that employed him, without the gracious smile that characterized his every move dur ing his lifetime. AS rule, mili- tary men, and especially officers, become somewhat hardened and rough spoken iI1 their orders, but this was never true of Bob" Hannegan. That persistent smile of his was on his face during marching time, and when he was in the act of addressing the men under him.
