NUNS HOME FROM
 NAZI EXPERIMENT
Sister Ann CeIine, Sister Jean Antoine Return on
 GripshOlm

Sister Ann Celine, formerly of the Order of the Holy Ghost Convent on South Main street, and Sister Jean Antoine, daughter Of Mrs. Ail- toinette Iannucci, lbl Geddes ter- race, arrived in Waterbury last night after an internment of l7 months in Vittel, France. The nuns were part of the crew of repatriateS on board the Swedish exchange ship Gripsholm which docked at New York yesterday.
 Two other nuns of the IS on board accompanied Sisters Celine and Antoine to this city on their way to meet Rt. Rev. Maurice r. McAuliffe, bishop of the Hartford diocese, before proceeding to their orders home at Putnam.
 .he nuns said last night that they were trpased no differently from other internees in their particular group in Vittel except that they lived in 6 hotel reserved for mem- bers of religious orders. Hardest to bear they reported, during the r months, was the fact that they were allowed out Of the interment area only twice, for two three hour walks in the company of German girls.
 Sister CeIinc said the religious group was allowed to hold services at the camp. The nuns were as- signed to teach in two schools dur ing their interment.
 After a stay of two weeks in Put nam, Sister Celine will proceed to Lcominister, Mass, to visit her mother, Mrs. Rosene Arpin, while Sister Antoine expects to return to

The Automotive Council for War Production paid this tribute to the tool designers and engineers of the automobile industry in a report marking the end of the second year since the last passenger automobile rolled off an assembly line.
 New tools were being installed even before the last passenger car left the factory" the council said.
 Skilled workmen followed that car on It's trip, uprooting heavy machinery, tearing out conveyors and cleaning out plants. All-out conversion, which now finds l,03a big plants devoted 100 pc" cent to war production, was underway"
 That day was the first time auto- mobile production lines had been halted completely in more than 40 years, yet one company turned out 8,250 Liberator bomber engines in the first year. In l943 the same company produced 24,75o engines an increase of 75 per cent.
 "Tooling up for a war job Is an expensive and time consuming task" said an industry spokesman but by so doing the work is greatly simplihed and interchangeability of parts is assured.
 "The resulting output and efiici' ency rises to levels which far out weigh the initial consumption oi time and expenditure of money"
 Illustrating the efficiency of tool ing for mass production was the crankcase for one companys air. craft engine, whose output sched' ule was revised upwards three times.
 The original small output sched' ule was met with a minimum ol tooling, although ea!A crankcast required 230 hours of work, ane spoilage averaged 47.6 per cent.
 With the first big increase 1T production the company quickly mechanized the crankcase opera tion," said the council, "T'hirty-twt new machines were purchased along with jigs and fixtures.
 "Instead of 230 hour manufac' turing time, only l25 hours were needed for each crankcase, while scrappage was reduced to less thar seven per cent"
 From l25 hours, tooling refine ment and expansion lowered ma chine time to 40, finally to 32 hours Scrap eventually reached a low point of less than four per cent.

IWoolf Finds Victorian Lodgings
 Aloof From War In Busy London AGED GUESTS TALK OF GLADSTONE, IGNORE AIR RAIDS

By S. J. wOOLF NEA Stan COrresnOndent

London, March l7-Trying to find O place to sleep in this city makes one long for the comparative quiet and emptiness of Washington.
 Arriving here at 6 o'clock one morning. woke up sleepy ser geant in the billeting office, who yawninely told me to come back at II, when he might find room for me. Had I not known of an officers club run by the Red Cross, might have been tripping over curbS in the blackout for a couple of hours. Once in bed, the chances are that I would have slept most of the day, had not the chap whose room I shared been e strong snorer. Every time I dozed off I was awakened by what | thought was an alert signal, but 1t was only the man in the other bed.
 The result was that I returned promptly at II to the billeting of- flee and was sent to relic of Victorianism in Bloomsbury. AL though the room was dark and cold, the wash basin looked good after a long trip and a sleepless night. There was no soap, but I widowed in the quart of tepid water which 1t held,
 NO TOWEL, EITHER
 Shiverlng but refreshed, I looked for a towel. There was none, l pushed the electric button at the head of the bed, but nothing hap pened. Wrapping myself in my trench coat, I stuck my head out- side the door and yelled for the maid. A frowsy old lady appeared and told me that the hotel provided neither soap nor towels. I soon found that other toilet facilities were also lacking,
 The search for another place seemed hopeless until young woman at the British Ministry of Information took pity on me, She said she knew Ian awfully decent place which had geraniums grow ing about 1t in the summe Through her influence got room there not for four days, which Is the limit most London hotels will allow a guest to stay, but for as long as care to remain.

SOILS EXPERT DEFENDS FLOW
 AGAINST CRITICS
By WALTER BEERS United Press Stan Correspondent


 United Press Stan COrrespOndentl
 Madison, Wis, March l7-(UP)- The moldboard blow is not an in- strument of the devil. as 1t has re- gently been described but is an es- sential farm implement which will outllve its critics, asserts Prof. Emil Truog, internatlonally-known soils authority. He is now head of the Wisconsin College of Agriculture soils department.
 Truog's statement was a general reply to the agriculture experts who have advocated junking the blow as a tilllage instrument, and a specific reply to Edward H. Faulk- ner and his "Plowman's Folly" which has started the recent con- troversy.
 The 200-year-old practice of us- ing the moldbroad blow to prepare seedbed has been under increased criticism during the last five years, but 1t took Faulkner's ridicule of the implement to make the issue hot enough to displace food subsidies as the number one controversy on the farm front.
 Faulker, @ former Kentucky and Ohio agriculture county agent, based his book on crop experiments he performed near Elyria, o. Tn preparing his seedbed, Faulkner used a disc harrow in place of 0 moldboard blow and produced pre- sumably bolmtiful crops in con- tract to neighboring fields.
 His study prompted conclusions that the blow; buries fertiliZed below the three and four inch layer of incipient roots; leaves the soil bare, facilitating washing by the rain and drying by the sun; and distributes the turned-over trash at the blow sole. This trash fornla- ton is similar to a blotter, Faulkner said, drawing water from the top soil down below root level and blocking capillary water from ris- ing to the roots.
 Many agriculturists, after read. ing "Plowmans Folly" were half converted and wrote to Truog for advice. The originator of the Truog Soils Test, used around the world, assured them the moldboard blow is scientifically designed instru- ment which provides an excellent seedbed.
 "It's strange that so many mis- statements could fool that many people," Truog remarked.
 Truog conceded that blowing had been excessive in some parts of the country, such as the Dust Bowl and discing had been substituted for blowing because drought con- ditions made 1t necessary Drought conditions are not normal, and, oi course, it's impractical to base agri- cultural philosophy on conditions in isolated areas.'
 Commenting that space would not permit page-by page refuta. ton of the book, Truog picked out Faulkner's statement that "plant roots exist almost entirely in the three -to- -four-inch surface layer as Q typical reinstatement"
 "This, of colrse, is not at oil true because the major portion of the root system of most crop plants exists below the hree-to-four-inct surface layer; in most cases tho roots extend to depth of three and four feet"
