PUBLIC FAILING
IN PAPER DRIVE
Lack Of Support May
Case Abandonment of
War-EfOrt Locally

WAterhury's paper salvage collec-
ttDn efforts face disastrous conse-
querces II results obtained from
sach efforts do not improve, J.
Warren Epson, salvage chairman re-
ported to the Civilion War Service
committee yesterday. These collec-
taons, one Of which Is being con-
Quoted today, have resulted in pool
| retugnS and unless householder
respond more generously the col.
lecttonS may have to be abandoned
Reason for the planned discontin-
vance MFR. Epson said Is based or
the fact that workers riding the
trucks to help collect the paper are
paid from the sale Of the waste
paper that is collected. The collec-
lions have been so poor that a def
cit may result If continued.
Announcement Of the 5th Wal
Loan Drive to get underway in june
here IN Waterbury was made yes
terday by James e. Moran, chair
man. It Is expected that the city's
quota In this coming effort will ex-
eeed slightly its previous drive quo
IA Of 81, $50 900. Official announce
ment as to the city's quota is ex-
pected to be forthcoming on Mon
day at a luncheon meeting Of war
loan drive authorities and other
representatives.
Flowing operations on city leased
victory garden plots are now under
way, Bernard Mcdonald. chairman
Of the garden committee told the

Providing the major test between
two Of the three local public higE
school baseball teams, Crosby and
Leavenworth were paired for 1880
p. m. game today at the Municipal
Stadium. The latter club coached by
Bill Tracy, has yet to meet defeat,
and will be slight favorites TO win
today; as both Crosby and Wildly
have been defeated, the latter sur
prise loser at Winsted earlier in the
week.
Johnny Bernardo for Crosby, Bill
Lathrop for Leavenworth are the
probable starting pitchers, when
some lusty batting expected from
both sides before the final out.
Tracy has Armour and Carlone in
reserve, in case Lathrop cannot
handle the Crosby stickers, led by
catcher Ned Causey, whose hitting
has been solid since the season
started.
Wildly is at Naugatuck today for
valley league game, while the
leading Torrington club takes on
Ansonia in the New City.

IANTI-AIRCRAFT
| GUNS EFFECTIVE
Marines Used Powerful
Weapons for Counter
Battery Fire

(The following story was written
by Staff Sergeant Alfred e. Lewis,
Of las Hillside Avenue, Water
bury, Conn.,, Marine Corps
Combat Correspondent, formerly
q washington Post repOrter.)
Bougainville - Delayed) - Two
Marine Comm anti-aircraft gun
batteries, delivering flat trajectory
fire from the front lines directly
into the enemy, as though they were
rifles, knocked out IA Jap pillboxes,
two Jap artillery pieces, and killed
an estimated rs Japs during the re-
cent attempt of the Japanese to
capture the American airfield on
Bougainville.
The guns and their crews, were
moved up to the front lines after
eight days of Japanese Smelling.
Within two days they had cleared
four ridges of Jap artillery fire.
One gun manned by First Lieu
tenant william r. Wiseman, %, 1913
st. Mary's Street, San Antonio,
Texas, alone was responsible for IL
pillboxes.
Assisted by his gun captain, Ma
rine Sergeant Raymond o. Burke,
20, AZ Elma avenue, Uniontown, Pa,
Lieutenant Wiseman scanned the
hills all day long through a high
powered scope seeking Jap activity.
Then, after waiting awhile to give
the Japs opportunity to bring in
some supplies, they fired directly at
the point of Jap activity, blasting
them off the ridge.
ut was the first time we'd used
anti-aircraft guns for counter-bat-
terry fire" Lieutenant Wiseman said.
TT proved so effective that another
gun was moved up to the front.
THE second day our gun knocked
out two Jap pillboxes and one OF
their 75s. That night the Japs moved
their other guns behind the ridge, out
Of our way.
Occasionally they would try to
sneak a gun over the ridge during
the night. but the next day my boys
spotted 1t.
Second Lieutenant Harold F.
Smith, $50 Prospect avenue, Water
lee, Iowa, in charge Of the other
Marine Comm gun, also expressed
enthusiasm.
'"They are so accurate" Lieuten-
ant Smith said, that one day my
gun captain, Sergeant Edward P
Herman. 20, AIT Turner avenue
Bronx, New York. practically shot
Jap in the seat Of his pants.
I'VE spotted three of them making
clearing on the side of ridge. We
figured that they were setting up an
observation post or preparing tc
move in an artillery piece.
I'VE lined up on them and fired
saw Jap fly through the all
in one direction and the ak he was
using go spinning in another direc-
ton. We fired couple Of more
shots just to make sure there
wouldn't be any more Jap activity
In that vicinity"
An American patrol scouting be-
hind one ridge found that five Jal
artillery pieces had been knocked
out, and discovered two other gun!
buried.

PRATT & WHITNEY
GETS PREFERENCE
Aircraft Company Leases
ManviIIe Co. Building for
Storage Purposes

Pratt and Whitney division Of the
United Aircraft Corp, Hartford,
yesterday signed q two-year lease
on the former e. J. Manville Co.,
plant with plans by the Hartford
concern calling for use Of the build
ing for storage purposes, only.
Attempts had been made to sell
the building but It was understood
that federal authorities may have
insisted on first priority being
granted the Hartford concern which
was in critical need Of suitable stor-
age space for much Of its equip
ment. Sources state that the air.
plane concern now in the process OF
changing over much Of its produc-
ton methods needed suitable space
to store that equipment being used
IN the manufacture Of the new type
now In production.
Rowley w. Phillips, former local
broker president Of the New York
concern which owns the Manville
building made announcement yes
terday afternoon Of the lease con-
tract. Reports state that terms call
for q payment Of $25, 900 per year
with owners Of the plant liable for
naintainence and taxation.
The plant, once third largest
manufacturing concern Of its type
N the country, has been idle for
the past few months following the
selling Of its original name, good
will and principal patents and
equipment to the National Mach
merry Corp. Of Tiffin, Ohio. The
original Manville concern was sold
TO the New York interests, headed
by Mr.. Phillips In 1912 the latter
first Of this year the time when
the principal share Of the corpora
ton was sold to the Ohio concern
It Is not known what plans the
present owners may have for the
building as to the postwar era but
1t seems likely that an attempt will
be made to sell.
