Litigation In Local Courts

A stipulation made by the Nauga- tuck National Bank and William G. and Viola L. Rotzel of Beacon Falls for payment of s10 weekly on note debt was approved today by Common Pleas Court Judge Ray mond J. Devlin. The amount of the total payment due was stipulated at $201 25 and costs of $5244 The litigation was based or a promis- sory note of $l75 executed last Dec. %.
 Withdrawal papers were filed in commonpleas court today in the $750 civil action brought by Anna Micale and Salvatore Liccardelli of Waterbury against John J. Mas sirno and Domenic Massimo, doing business at the Massimo Coal Com pany of Waterbury.
 The plaintiffs had claimed a coal delivery truck of the defendants was driven last Sept. ' on their premises at 220 Hillside avenue and destroyed the fence, cement driveway, hedges and lawn. Settlement terms were not disclosed.
 Natalie Ross of Naugatuck today won a $250 judgment in common pleas court against Mrs. Eva Stick man, also of Naugatuck, in her as- sault and battery action. Judge Ray mond J. Devlin ruled that second defendant, Mrs. Eva Klonis, mother Nf hHyc CSRinlyvoov, ha of a peacemaker rather than an ag- gressor in the encounter, and that judgment should enter in her favor.
 The civol action resulted from an encounterl ast July 29 and premises occupied by both parties. A rela- tive of the defendants complained about noise to the plaintiff, and the incident which was made the basis of the suit then followed The plaintiff claimed her chest, back, and arms were battered.
 Action of motions for support and alimony made by Mrs. Ada Fortin, who seeks to have the Reno divorce of Merrill E. Fortin invalidated was put of by Superior Court Judge John A. Cornell at 8 preliminary hearing this morning.
 Judge Cornell stated no disposi- ton could be made on the motions unless and until 1t is proved that the defendants Nevada decree is invalid. Evidence must be present. ed to show Fortin was not a bona fide resident of Nevada at the time of the decree before the court can consider the divorce invalid, 1t was indicated.
 The presumption is that the de- cree was valid, until it is proven otherwise. the court ruled, in stat ing no alimony or support allow ance could be given to Mrs. Fortin, No. l, at the present time. Fortin took second bride after the decree was given.
 The court ruled that temporary injunction issued restraining Fortin from transferring stocks would hold. He pointed out no motion for a modification of that injunction had been filed, and that it would have to continue in force at the present time.

But before they ever get here, ev- cry man is veteran airman. Con- manders. pilots, and flight engi- neerS all are flyers with hundreds of hours in four-motored craft. Many are back from the war in Eu- rope or the Pacific.
 Their instructors are men who have flown the B-29 in combat and know what she will do. They are here to show the new man.
 Lose Fear of Contraptions
 'They have to understand it." says Brig Gen. Haywood S. Han- sell, commanding general of the 38th Flying Training Wing who took the first B-29 to Saipan When they understand it they lose their fear of it. The fear he is talking about is not of the plane, which the men swear by, but of the million" mechanical contrap- tions that go into it.
 They are all broken down and cut away, so every man in the ship can see before he ever gets into it, just how everything works. And when something goes wrong, he knows what to do.
 The entire electrical system, for instance, is pulled out of the ship and set up on wall just as it would be in the plane. Thus the engineer can get at any part of the system, powerful enough to light 250 homes, and learn more in an hour than he could in six days of digging around the ship.
 In other rooms are the hydraulic system, complete with the giant wheels-the brakes cut away to show how they work, the fuel sys- tenn, with transparent lines so the engineer can see the fuel runnings when he turns on the pumps, the complete power plant, automatic pilot. radio, and superchargers.
 After the engineer is familiar with every detail of the ship, he is slated with a closs of 40 other engineers before mammoth work ing reproduction of his instrument panel. While the instructor jiggles the gauges from control panel to simulate trouble, the engineer diag- noses the ailment.
 Simulate Air Battles
 He can simulate more trouble in Is minutes than would be possible in a plane in 10 years. When the student Is sure of himself, he moves on.
 Then, and not until then. does he work out in the actual airplane.
 The same goes for the com-

Local Red Cross Assisting Servicemen, Ex-Servicemen

To assist the home service
 branch of the Red Cross with
 the dissemina tion of information
 concerning the status of service
 men or their relatives, The Wa
 terbury Democrat is publishing
 answers to the most frequent
 questions received by that branch
 of the local chapter of the Ameri-
 can Red Cross. This is the six
 teenth installment.
 Q. Now that hostilities have ceas- ed in Europe, will the War Depart ment send my sons body to the United States in the near future?
 A. No. Military dead cannot be returned to the United States until after hostilities have ceased in all war theaters. When it is possible to have the bodies returned, the quartermaster general will com- municate with the next of kin to ascertain who would wish to have their soldier dead returned to the United States.
 Q. My husband is 42 years of age and is a patient in an Army hospi- tai. In understand that he has a right to be discharged.
 A. Every enlisted man, 42 years of age or over, can voluntarily ap- ply in writing to his immediate commanding officer for discharge. However, those servicemen who are undergoing medical or surgical treatment at this time will not be given a discharge.
 o. I am a soldier home on a thirty day furlough. My neighbof who operates a farm has asked me to work for him. I am willing to do this, but I do not know if I would be permitted.
 A. The War Department is allow ing military personnel while home on furlough to obtain temporary work in essential war industries or agriculture. There are certain re- strict1ons, but it would seem that in your instance, you would be free to accept this temporary work with remuneration.

WAC RECRUITMENT
 STILL GOING ON
First Service Command Leads in United States
 During May

Boston, Mass, June 13-The First Service Command led the United States in the recruitment of mem bers for the Women's Army Corps, during the month of May, accord ing to an announcement from the | Office of Adjutant General, Head quarters Army Service Forces, Washington, D. c.
 The cooperation and assistance that have been given to the WAC recruiters in the New England States has been of invaluable aid in helping us to disseminate WAC in- formation,' said Capt. Dorothy L. Kenna, new Chief of the First Serv- ice Command WAC Recruiters" and l know that with their further CO., operation, we in the First Service Command will be first in the June report"
 Many more WACs are needed to help in the Separation and Redis- tribution Stations in the United States. Thousands of veterans are being returned to this country under the point system along with the wounded and disabled veterans and the administrative and clerical jobs can be filled by WACs in this very vital cause" added Captain Kenna, and we are still recruiting for more and more WACs".
 The other Service Commands are listed in this order: Ninth, Second, Third (ncluding the Military Dis trict of Washington, Sixth, Seventh Eighth, Fifth and Fourth.
 Recruiting Heaquarters in Con- necticut, are at the Orange Street Armory, New Haven. WAC recruit CTS make weekly visits to Hartford, New London, Bridgeport, and Stam- ford.

mander and pilot. Meantime, ur at Las Vegas, Nev., the gunners and bombardiers have been work ing out with similar devices.
 On one huge gunnery range, with dummy B-29s built up on stilts to simulate the plane in flight, the gunners work out with their sights as pursuit planes dive at them. The sights are the same as those in the plane itself, and are loaded with movie film. The men sweat as hard as they would if their lives de- pended on their craftsmanship The shouts over the intercommun- ications system that connects all the gun positions have the sound of battle.
 When the gunner has been grad uated from this range, he goes aloft with a full crew, where he shoots real bullets at attacking pursuit ships, with the camera still record ing the hits. The special bullets shatter on contact with the planes armor. There can be nothing more real this side of combat, and when the gunner is attacked by Jap anese. he's been through all the motions before.
 Lines Up On Tokyo"
 Meanwhile, the bombardier has his eye glued to an eyepiece of the Sperry bombsight back at camp. Beneath him unrolls a movie of Tokyo as it looks from 30,000 feet. Hour after hour he lines up his target, releases his bombs, and checks the result as the "city'' slowly passes beneath him.
 When he gets to Tokyo, he's been there before, too.
 Behind all this are days of paper work Besides his instruments, the engineer-he's a pilot, too. remem- ber-must know his mathematics. It's his job to figure how much gas oline his plane will need to get to the target and back, how many bombs can he carry and how long it will take. The lives of the other 10 men depend on his calculations
 Three months after the first B-29s got to India where they hauled gasoline over the hump, they had doubled their load through experience. That's how important it is.
 The men who went out with that first crew averaged only 50 hours of experience with the ship Now the B-29 men spend more time than that in the broken-down sec tions of the ship before they ever get into the plane.
 AS Gen. Hansell says, it saves lives, ships and time.
