1mpregnated and laminated paper
products have opened new fields
undreamt of in peacetime. For in
stance, some secondary structural
airplane parts have been made of
high-strength paper-base Eliminates.
A wing structure for a trainer type
plane of the same material has been
designed and is in progress of con-
Struction. At least one plant is max

This compressed and impregnated
paper-baSe product is lighter than
aluminium and reputedly as strong.
A laboratory in Wisconsin is working
wonders in this field and its research
has just begun. Briefly, the latest
paper" product is obtained by COM
pressing paper sheets with synthetic
resins.
Even these resins are forest prod

employed today. And, if there were
thousands of other uses for wood,
the supply would be ample for

Manpower Critical
Today's wartime problem Is not
lack Of wood. Manpower short
ages-men to cut and haul pulp
good to the mills-have brought
curtailment of newsprint and other
paper in order to supply our fight
ing forces.
Paper parachutes, recently adopt
ed by the Navy for use in dropping
supplies from the skies, have been
put to wartime use, although chill
dren have been familiar with them
for generations. Flare chutes to
guide bombers and radio sonde
chuteS for weather observation are
even more widely used.
Aviators' vests, made both Of
paper and other pulpwood fibres,
have proved excellent safeguards
against the extreme cold tempera-
lures of the high attitudes.
A gas cape made OF specially i'm
pregnated paper has been adopted
as adequate protection against bills
ter type war gases should our troops
ever need them.
Due to the shortage Of burlap
and osnaburg, paper has been
called upon to do duty In the field
of camoufage. Impregnated kraft
paper, having a high wet strength
and q rough irregular surface,
blends nicely with nature in a
shield for gunners Or covering
for a fighter plane.
JettisOn Gas Tank
The jettison gasoline tank, a
fibre bag development Of pulp
wood, has extended the range Of
our fighter planes by enabling
them to carry more reserve gaso-
line with less weight than an
auxiliary metal tank. They can be
readily discarded when they have
served their purpose, with no loss
of critical materials.

Last night at The Elton, Scovill
company employees were urged to

CHANGE OF NAME
REQUESTS DENIED
Judge McEvOy Refuses
Applications of New
Citizens

characterization consists OF a
recognition Of all things that are
good in life" Superior Court Judge
Frank P. McEvoy stated yesterday
afternoon after another prospective
citizen appeared before him during
naturalization proceedings and re-
quested permission to change his
name.
ut is not a policy of Arnericanism
to overlook historical facts and items
and it is not American to give up
ones own real name for new one"
he said after Francesca Carabetti
was called before the bench and said
he wanted to |Americanize' his name
to Francis Carabet.
-Four other petitions for name
changes were denied by the jurist
who continued his strict policy to
uphold the real names unless a
compelling reason for change is
presented. At one point In the ex-
animation proceedings Judge Nc
Eyoy said, "a man who desires to
change his name for a fuppant rea-
son might raise the question as to
whether or not he is a proper citi-
zen."
Later two persons who had filed
requests for changes Withdrew them
when their cases were called by the
naturalization examiner. Two petit
TONERS were allowed to insert mid
die names and one other was al
lowed to translate his name from
Italian to English.

permission to use the name william
was told his real name has historical
significance and hlS petition was
denied.

erences among the leading con-
testants, they do not fee THAT Re-
publican victory necessarily de-
ponds upon either nomination or
rejection Of Mr.. Willkie. But they
do feel that the method by which
the 1910 candidate is either put
across or turned down might
easily split the party so badly that
President Roosevelt would have
a walkaway instead of q stern
contest.
ALARM is SOUNDED
John w. Hanes, who was Under
secretary of the Treasury from 1888
to 1910 but now is anti-New Deal
voiced the fear that is besetting
many Republicans when he said
the other day:
IT sometimes wonder, listening
to some of my Republican friends,
just what 1t is the Republicans
are out to beat this year. So much
energy, so much feeling seems to be
used up, right now, in trying to
beat Republicans.
May suggest that before we
are through we will need all that
energy and all that feeling for the
real conflict? More than that, we
will need all the Republicans"
Mr.. HaneS did not mention
Wendell Willkie by name, but it
was primarily of the conflict over
Mr.. Willkie that he was thinking,
because The COP pre-convention
fight has became frankly matter
of Willkie against the field.
That does not mean necessarily
that Mr.. Willkie is the strongest
candidate. Some, believing that
he has a majority frank-and- file
sentiment behind him, are certain
that he would make the best race
