STEEL AVAILABLE
FOR SMALL FIRMS
.WPB Announces COndi-
tons Under Which SUPP
ply May Be Obtained

Boston, June 15-Small New Eng
terest in the recently announced
program which gives the green light
to production of much needed farm
equipment-including poultry equip
ment-from surplus materials, W..
H. Wheeler, Jr., regional WPB d.
rector, stated today.
Mr.. Wheeler emphasized that this
program must in no way interfere
with war production which must be
intensified to meet increased de-
mands for invasion weapons.
Revisions in military programs
have released many tons of steel
formerly produced for purposes no
longer urgent. This surplus mater
ial, as listed by WPB, may be freely
used by New England manufacture
ers employing 100 workers or less
with the exception of plants in
Group Labor areas which cannot
increase employment. An AA-4
preference rating has been assigned
to buy whatever other finished parts
and non-controlled materials that
may be required.
Mr.. Wheeler invited all small
plant managers wishing to take ad-
vantage of this program to consult
with the nearest WPB field office as
soon as possible, where specialists
will be glad to supply lists of avail
able surplus material as well as COM
plete information about how to get
it.
They will also explain to mana
gers of large and small plants a
more comprehensive farm equip
ment program under which more
than $4,000 tons of controlled ma
terials will be allocated for 3rd quar-
ter production to plants which can
match use of new material with
maximum use of surplus material.
Applications for material and per.
mission to manufacture are due
June 26.

in my heart I don't think the bus
was going at that speed"
Lacey also testified that he was
attracted to the oil truck when he
heard a shot" and he noticed that
the left front tire had blown. He
said the noise of the blowout could
have been heard three-tenths of a
mile away. He said the bus moved
about a bus length from the time
he saw 1t to the time of the crash.
Frances Williams of Cheshire,
Wildly high school sophomore, who
was a passenger on the bus, testi-
fed the bus stopped at Midland
road, the last stop before the acct
dent, to let off a Crosby high school
teacher and a student, and that 1t
was travelling slowly because it was
getting ready to stop to let off two
more girls. She said she Gid not
see the truck, but describing the
crash, she said the bus started to
apply the brakes when 1t was hit.
The back end of the bus went up
in the air, it was stated by the girl,
who testified she was seated on the
back seat of the vehicle. On exam
nation by the plaintiffs lawyer, she
said she did not see anyone talking
to the driver before the accident.
She said on cross examination that
she thought she was thrown forward
in the bus before the two cars came
together because of the application
of brakes by the bus driver.
Joy Hollenbeck of Cheshire, also
a Wildly high school student, and
passenger on the Inflated bus, con-
f1rmed testimony that the bus had
made a stop just a short time be-
fore the collision to let off two pas
SengerS. She also was an occupant
Of the back seat.
William Messier, who was recalled
% E.le Starl2 yesteiGay afternoon,
said the truck had a fiat tire which
attracted his attention because of
the "bumpety- bump" sound the
truck was making. The witness, OPP
orator of a service station at the
point of the crash, said he looked
out before the collision and saw the
truck humping along with fiat tire.
1t was moving about 40 miles an
hour, he estimated. He also testi-
fled he saw no objects on the road
that could cause a tire puncture,
and said the day was fair and sunny.
An estimate of the buS'S rate OF
speed was placed at Is miles per
hour by the service station operator
who said ut was travelling slowly"

at least 1000 miles after the danger
point was reached. He stated furth-
that after breaker strip of q tire
shows, 1t can not travel with safety.
In reference to the matter Of mis-
alignment, the witness stated that O
mis-alignment would give a tire o
pulled appearance, which the tire In
the court did not have, and that q
truck driver would be unable tc
handle vehicle If there were q
bad mis-alignment involved.
Mr.. Gilbert testified that two
breaker strips Of the blown-out tire
were worn away and confirmed pre-
vious testimony that seven PHYS OF
material we're worn down at one
point. IF the breaker strip begins
to show anything can happen" he
stated. He said, however, that q
vehicle can travel 1000 to 5000 after
the breaker strip Of the tire is
gone.
On ross-examination the New
Haven tire expert admitted that at
one portion of the tire there was q
feather edge" but said If there
were any extent of misalignment
the tire would have definite putting
all around. and that a driver would
have definite knowledge Of such q
condition.
Mr. Cross, who said that the tire
had undergone reasonably grad
ual wear, testified that when the
breaker strip has been worn through
tire gets wear on part which
was never intended for contact
with the highway but was intended
to give strength to the tire. He
said, THE part outside Of the
breaker strip is like the sole of a
shoe"

truck after the accident showed
that the front axle was broken
free, but that the braking equip
ment was unchanged He said in
dications were that the brakes on

the witnesses called to the stand
yesterday. Each was asked to give
his account of crash.
One of them, Muriel ]. Cullen
Wildly student, testified she saw
something red in front Of the bus
Just before the impact but did not
have time to note what 1t was
She described the bus driver as a
very serious person who did not
fool with any Of the children"
John p. Lacey. Maple Hill Dairy

testified yesterday afternoon that
about second elapsed between the
time he saw the bus and the COLI
sion occurred. He said that 1T
seemed as If the bus driver tried to
turn off and move toward the
right" The bus was as far on the
right hand side of the road as 1t
could go, he testified.
In response to question from
the plaintiffs lawyer, Lacey said
the road was clear and contained no
metal or other material that would
puncture tire. On cross examina-
ton he confirmed previous testi-
mony to a corner that he estimated
the trucks speed at 40 miles an hour
and the bus's at between 80 and So
