DRIVE FOR NURSES
 CONTINUING HERE
Committee Decides to Alp. peal to Employers to
 Facilitate Recruiting

All employers of nurses classified as available for military duty were yesterday asked to open their doors to interviewers by the Red Cross Recruitment committee, Waterbury Nursing Council for War Service, to accelerate the check-up for poten- tial nurse power.
 Physicians, hospitals, hospital boards, industries, health agencies, and registries who have contact with available nurses have been asked to cooperate with Red Cross interview CTS SO that the nurses may be seen personally at their places of em- ployment.
 Miss Alice Peak, chairman, de- clared that it is the belief of the committee that there are enough nurses in Waterbury to meet the quota for this area established by the Army and to maintain the most essential services at home provided then nurses are properly distrib- uted."
 Approximately 10000 graduate nurses are needed by the Army Nurse corps by June l, it has been announced.
 The Red Cross Recruitment com- mittee is urging all nurses who are available for military service to ap- ply before May 10 in order to allow for checking of credentials and of physical examinations prior to June l, the date set by the Army for reaching the goal.

CITY APPEALS TO
 WIPE FOR MATERIAL
Seeks Priority to Lay Sew. CTS in Macarthur Drive
 Section

An urgency application is being made by the city to the War Pro- duction Board for materials to lay sewers affecting that section of Mac Arthur drive comprised of Barbara, Myrna, Charlotte, Hill streets, and Chase avenue. A group of residents of the area last week appealed to the board of works that some meas ureS be taken immediately because Of the unsanitary conditions re- sulting from the lack of proper sew age disposal in that area. The area is said to have hard-pan surface which causes overflow of the cess pools. The city previously had made such application but was refused by the WIPE.
 An application has already been forwarded to the WIPE for similar construction in the Bronx avenue area. Difficulty in obtaining prior- ity for purchase of materials for lay- ing sewers has deferred numerous projects planned for by city author ities.

Smoke Rinqs Hide Berlin
BY LOWELL THOMAS

 Paris, April 25.-(UP)-Berlin is If flames from one end to the other Dense clouds of smoke hid most of the city.
 flew to Berlin yesterday in a P-5l Mustang with a crack Air Force pilot of the 67th Reconnais- sance Group of the Ninth Air Force.
 l saw the city in flames. saw me nombardment going on between the Russians and Nazis, and then l raced back across half of Europe to Paris last night.
 My flight came about this wav. For two days had been with the ground troops near the advancing Russlans-with General Terry AL len and his 104th Division Tim DerwolVes, on the Mulde ;iver, with the Russians only 18 miles away, and the Germans in between.
 All along the front, the une thought had been: When do we join Up with the Russians? An Allied pilot witht he Timberwolyes brought word that the Russians, some milo S tot ne north, were driving west at top speed. It looked as though the second armored division of tile Ninth Army would be the first to make it.
 So decided to try to find A llghter pilot who would like to taxe a look all up and down the front. when I was back with the 67th reconnaissance group they had ;n- yited me to do this. So there I flew in light artillery plane-and m no time two fast Mustangs were on the line.
 In one, alone, was the officer IT, command, It. Col. Dick Leg Aorn of Winchester, Mass. His job was to fly cover, as they cali ir- Protect us from enemy aircraft. My pilot was It. Col. Carl Kraft. If Clarks, La, No. 2 in command of the 67th. Both were in single seater lighter planes, with me squeezed in behind Kraft. Piggy pack, they call that-the most cramped position so far devised by man. "
 Here are some of the things we saw:
 Berlin in flames, but not entire ly. Potsdam and the southern side oi the city seemed comparatively unoamaged. The rest was in flames, rom one end to the other. An artillery duel was going Ln neaVy guns on both sides going ali out-dense clouds of smoke blowing ever Berlin, concealins much of It.
 Hecrossing Nazi territory-folloW- ing the Mulde. to where the two Jom at Dessau-we saw fires every mhe or so, indicating that the Rus siaHS nao advanced to the middle of the German-held corridor he. tween the rivers, or that the frs were started by Russian artillery.
 The trip was routine mission, The only part that wasn't foutine was our going to Berlin.

Bad Summer On Meot Seen

Providence, R. I. April 26. CUP)- A special congressional committee Investigating the nations food shortages moved on to New York today after warning Rhode Island residents that "a tough summer" for meat shipments looms.
 Chairman Clinton P. Anderson, D., N. M., said at public hearing here yesterday that "a pjolicy of compelling shipments into poor lit tie Rhode Island through the new plan of meat allocations should help somewhat" but he added that "a tough three months" was in store for the state.
 The Six-nlan committee heard testimony by Chairman Thomas F. Lloyd of the governors advisory food committee that weekly records of meat shipments and supplies here showed g per cent drop this year from 1914. Lloyd said he had heard plenty of rumors' of black market operations.
 Urging allocation of supplies, Ralph Krauss of the Eastern Beef Co. charged that major packers have been "hogging an every-in- creasing amount of the civilian market"
 Earlier yesterday at Boston, Rep. Christian A. Herter, R., Mass, had observed that testimony indicated a Enthusiastically large" amount of meat was going into the black mar ket in New England.
 Anderson concluded the Boston hearing by saying New England is the only region where a protein food-fish-iS immediately available e substitute for scarce items.
