There is no question" General
Drewry said, shat the new system
results in more efficient filling 81
the needs at individual posts, Campo
and stations. Previously, 1t some
times occurred that a depot, due ta
concurrent demands for overseas
shipments, War Aid shipments and
training shipments, might be So
overloaded that shipment of tbs
training ammunition would be de-
layed and fail to reach the training
camp at the time required. Under
the new system. since the requist~
tionS are submitted direct to Ord@
nance Field Service Headquarters il
Washington and prescribe the dead
line which must be met, 1t is pos
sible to control shipments in such
way that there have been few

The operation of the new system
has resulted not only In large sav~
ings of manpower. critical materials

Retail Merchants Report Over 600 Sales Of Bonds
Carloads OF Practice
Ammunition Shipped
Delays Eliminated By Ordnance Departments Stream
lined System; Great Saving in ManpOwer Hours

Springfield, Mass, February -
Army Ordnance factories end depots
are supplying more than five million
American and Allied troops in train
ing in continental United States
with approximately 1900 carloads of
practice bombs and ammunition q
month.
Brig. Gen. Guy H. Drewry, district
chief, commanding the Springfield
Ordnance District, said today that
substantial amounts of ammunition
are being shipped directly from man
ufacturing and loading plants to
training camps. This eliminates
delays and makes it possible for
ground troops and air cadets to
obtain maximum combat training
before they are transferred to in
vasion units overseas.
1.-THE new streamlined system
frequently by-passes the storage
depots altogether" General Drewry
declared. I'm many instances it
is no longer necessary to unload
its ammunition at depotS, store it,
and then ship it out again, upon
demand, to training camps, posts
and stations.
This streamlined factory to-fir-
ing-range procedure enable Ord
nance to save over 100000 man
hours a month. This figure is based
on the manpower required to load
and unload cars of ammunition.
Money savings are in direct proper
ton to the manhours saved.
Second only in Importance to
manpower savings is the saving in
railroad rolling stock. Assuming
that the average length Of intransit
time for shipments from an Ord
nance depot to training camp is
six days, the most recent figures
indicate that Ordnance is saving
approximately 1000 car-days a
month"
In those instances where direct
factory to- 1ring-range shipment is
either impossible or impracticable,
Army Ordnance is able to make
practically all shipments from the
depot nearest the training camp
requiring the ammunition. No
shipment is made today until the
requirement for its use is firmly es-

STABBING CASE
Aged Caretaker Files Conn
plant Against NeighbOr;
knife Reported Missing

Sam Grunuik, IS, a caretaker at
SIENNA dump, Thomaston avenue,
was granted one-day continuance
after he was arraigned before Judge
T. E. Conway in City Court this
morning on charges Of assault,
breaking and entry.
Charges were brought by Zacker
Sherepinsky, 76, a caretaker at the
Waterbury Ash Removing Co. dump
on Thomaston avenue, who told De-
tective Lieut.. Edward McElligott and
Detective Sergt. oJseph Reilly that
Grunuik had stabbed him at his
shack on Sunday afternoon.
Sherepinsky said he and his wife
and Grunuik had had lunch to-
gether at Sherepinsky's shack. The
three then left, and the two men had
few drinks together downtown, and
started back to their respective
homes.
But when he arrived at his home,
Sherepinsky said, he found Gruinuik
picked up a knife from the table and
stabbed him in the chest, he said.
Lieut.. McElligott said the knife
penetrated Sherepinsky's vest, shirt,
and underclothes, and inflicted
wound. He said the lock
to the shack had ben pried open
with a rusty piece from a kitchen
stove.
The detective said Grunuik denied
having broken into the shack and
stabbing Sherepinsky. Sherepinsky
did not complain to police Until the
following day, and the knife in ques-
ton has not yet ben located. Lieut..
McElligott said it was of the type

JUDGE DISMISSES
FACTORY APPEAL
Widow of Derby Man to
Obtain Compensation as
Previously Granted

Superior Court Judge Frank P.
McEvoy today dismissed an appeal
taken by the Farrell Birmingham
CO. Of Ansonia from an award
made made by Compensation Com
missioner John j. O'Connell to Mrs.
Anna CaScone, widow ow Louis Cas-
cone Of Derby. The commission
er's ruling which ordered payment
Of $14.60 weekly for 312 weeks and
burial fees of 5000, was based on
the death Of the employe July J.,
1941 at the Ansonia plant.
The concern conceded that death
occurred while the worker was in
the course Of his employment but
claimed the injury which resulted
in death did not arise out of the
employment. Death was attributed
to heat exhaustion.
In his memorandum Of decision
Judge McEvoy points out to testi-
mony presented before the commits
Sioner that the plant was very heat
ed and that additional difficulty
was caused to the worker by the
facial shield. heavy gloves, and can
vas sleeves he wore while perform
ing work as an electric arc welder.
The jurist ruled that the medical
testimony given to the commissioner
was sufficient to indicate the facts
disclosed in the finding.
The motion of the company to
correct the finding was denied by
the jurist and the issues were found
for the claimant. The award was
made last July 81.
