Dutch Blight Evident Here
Dr. R. C. HowIeys Yale Expert, In vited Here

pr. Ralph c. Hawley of the Yale School of Forestry was visitor in Waterbury yesterday, but not to in- vestigate the cause of blight that has affected more than 70 large trees in the Plank Road sector as a local paper stated. His mission, acc cording to a park department of- hcial today was to check the Dutch blight which has struck many trees on Church street.
 At the last meeting, John P. El- tOn, chairman of the Board of Park Commissioners, suggested to the board that an expert be called in to investigate the Church street nemesis, hence MT. Hawley's pre- Sence here yesterday.
 Recently Plank Road residents did complain that trees in a wood land section of that area had died and blamed the condition on the dumping of fill exhumed from the basin of the Scovill reservoir.
 A private analysis which they had made of the soil showed 1t to contain a high acid content be- lieved to have been produced by sedimentation from industrial wastes. There is some question as to whether presence of this element in the soil would, of itself, kill off plant life. Supt. of Parks James J. Curtin suggested that possibly the roots were disturbed by large bulldozer that was used to spread the fill.
 The Park Department plans to fill in Goss Memorial Grove in Hamilton Park with soil from the reservoir and cover this with top dressing of 1oam. More than 100 trees in the tract would have to be "welled" to protect their growth, MT. Curtin explained. A number of other trees in Hamilton Park have been affected by slit from the cast ing furnace stacks of Scovill Mfg. Go.

WIPE B>Fovors
 Auto Plans

Washington, Aug. 8.-(UP)-The War Production Board shortly will approve plans by the automobile industry to construct $l5O, 900 900 in new plants and additions necessary for maximum production of civilian cars, it was learned today.
 A high WIPE official told the United Press that notification of the approval probably will go out to the industry some time next week.
 He explained that the construc- ton applicants would be okayed on the ground the expansion program would provide for additional in- surance against unemployment next year."
 Requests for construction author ,ity have flowed in 8 steady stream to the WIPE since it met with the automobile industry on last July II and asked for prompt notification of it's requirements for eventual full production. It was estimated that the proposed additional facilities might increase the productive capac- ity of the industry up to 6.000, ,000 cars a year compared with an esti- mated pre-war peak of 4.00o COG cars.

500 Workers
 AtScoviII's
 Given Release

Close to 800 women have been affected in another of series of cutbacKs scheduled by the Sco- vile Mfg. O., it was reported today. The Iay-offs took effect this week. A small group of men also were reported released.
 Many of the women released were offered obs in other depart ments and numerous transfers have been arranged, it was re- ported. Others declined transfers and have appeared at the U. s. Employment Service for referrals to other plants.
 It is understood that obs for women are not as plentiful as they were a number of months ago. Most of the current demands of employers are for male help, particularly in mills, it was re- ported. Arrangements have been made by the USES, however, to place as many of the discharged workers as possible.

NCOuCluueQ 1TOm rage 1I nese of the Potsdam ultimatum ane invited them, in the light of wha the atomic bomb did to Hiroshima To reconsider their rejection of thu ultimatum.
 The alternative, he said, will be rain of destruction "the like O which has never been seen or earth"
 But fantastic as this destruction may be, the Army has discounted it last week when Secretary of Wa Henry L. Stin1son let it be know1 that the 100000 figure still stood
 When Stinlson proclaimed tht War Departments position last week, he knew that the atomic bor1t would work, that 1t packed thu punch of 10000 tons of TINT, thai it would be put to work destroying Japanese cities.
 Nothing has happened since te change his calculations. The mer who bear the awful responsibility fer winning this war do not dare to put all their eggs in one basket They must, an observer explained it, plan for the worst.
 They must base their calculations on the assumption that it still may be necessary to invade Japan with infantry.
 So the high command is going right ahead with the redeployment program which calls for force of millions of men-3, ,000, 900, accord ing to recent congressional esti- mates -in the Pacific backed by other millions of supplyforces.
 AS for the question everyone is asking - how much will the Atom bomb hasten Japanese surrender? the answer appears to depend on how soon the Japanese people can cut loose from their military dicta- torship.
 A commentator on the Navy's weekly news review radio program (NBC) said last night that the Atomic bomb combined with the continued task force strikes left Japan the choice of 'tmass suicide or surrender"
 "We may have to destroy four or five cities before they actually believe we have such a bobm," he said. But we will bring them the proof. They must now take their choice: Mass suicide or surrender. ?
 Should the Japanese military see the light-a hellish light generated by Atomic power-and shuck of their fanaticism, the end of the war might come very soon. If they do not, there remains a chance perhaps, that the Japanese people will rise and force the government to surrender in the interests oi national survival.
 The Atomic bomb, meanwhile, re- mained sobering and even fright ening portent. Considering what a few pounds of Atomic force did tc Hiroshima, it was apparent that in the hands of the unscruplous ot merely foolish 1t could destroy a civilization.

Bong s Body Back Home

Superior, Wis, Aug. 8-(UP)- The greatest air ace this country ever had came home today to stay.
 An Army transport plane brought the body of Maj. Richard I. Bong in a flag-draped casket back to the shores of sky-blue Lake Superior where he roamed the woods as 8 boy. Bong, 24, became the nations top flying ace by shooting down 40 Jap planes. He Was killed Monday in the crash of a jet plane he was testing in California.
 A silent crowd of about a hundred persons watched the big transport glide onto the runway at the airport in Duluth, Minn., adjacent to Su- perior. There were military digni. taries from Washington, young men who went to school with the war hero, and the plain folks from near- by Poplar where Bong grew up on 8 farm.
 There was Carl T. Bong. the ma jor's father, who taught him how to shoot a rifle. There was Mrs. Glen Bryce, the flyers grandmoth- CT. whose cookie jar he raided reg- ularly before he went away to war.
 His brother Carl. IT, was waiting at the airport, and so were two Of his sisters, Nelda and Geraldine.
 The Rev. Arvid Hoorne will off. cite at funeral services at 2 P. m. in the Concordia Lutheran church. As- sisting him will be the Rev. Paul,
 Boe, who married Bong and hisl college sweetheart in the same church last Feb. 10.
 Graveside services and burial will be at the Poplar cemetery on the outskirts of the little village of 462 where Bong sang in the church choir, helped his father milk the COWS and took his first flying lesson. Poplar is only IS miles from here.

manufacture of certain products 1t was reported.
 'The longer people continue to refuse mill jobs the longer will we hold back reconversion and the period of readjustment," Area War Manpower Director Mary E. Dewey commented today.
 Many Openings
 The WING official stated some of the concerns which have released workers have scores of openings in their mills, but lack of applicants. Some of those same plants have asked for decrease in work-week hours for certain departments be- cause of the shortage of material, she stated.
 One local copper industry execu- tive pointed out that the mills are rolling copper down to a much thinner gauge now than they did under previous war contracts. Con- sequently many more operations are needed for producing the thin ner sheets, he stated. Although the mill labor supply has not decreased, the number of workers is now in- sufficient to meet the changes in the production.
 If more casters and rollers could be obtained for the mills, the plants could more readily reconvert to civ- ilian manufacture, it was reported. Numerous workers could be made available for the civilian out-put if the required metal sheets were pro- duced in sufficient quantity, local industry spokesmen state.
 Mrs. Dewey said that one manu- featuring concern which has been laying of groups of women has been given permission to decrease the work week to 40 hours for a 3O- day period in it's screw-machine shop. A lack of wire and rod is accredited for the temporary slow up in production.
 One firm which had been operat- ing with heavy overtime for many months, has gone down to the 4S- hour schedule for men, and conse- quently 8 decrease in hours was re- queSted for women workers, whose manufacturing work depends on the output by the men. The women there are working A hours per week and eventually their hours will be decreased to 40.
 Reductions Asked
 Mrs. Dewey said requests for de- creases in hours are coming into the WING gradually. One large util- ity office has been allowed 8 de- crease, and another one is sched- uled to put similar change in effect next week, it was disclosed.
 In regard to civilian manufac- ture, Mrs. Dewey said several firms have been gradually starting such projects. Numerous others have not yet taken advantage of permission to start civilian output because the necessary materials can not be ob- tained in sufficient quantities, 1t was reported.
 One local firm has resumed manu facture of cosmetic cases, and wo- men released from other depart ments have been given jobs in the cosmetics shop. Hpstick and van- ity cases are now coming out of the plant, with an increase in that. pro. duction planned shortly.
