New Highwoy lin City Now Anticipated

An overall express highway plan for the Waterbury area is part of the states proposed $134 100000 postwar statewide highway plan, cost of which, in part, state author ities seek to maintain by means of the proposed bill calling for a one- cent increase in the state tax on gasoline, per gallon. The bill .ap- peared before the committee We'd nesday and met with considerable opposition particularly from con- mercial motor vehicle operators and gasoline station attendants It has been anticipated that by the one cent increase from three to four cents per gallon an additional $4 million annual yield would be ef- fected.
 It has been found by local and state surveys that the major traf- fic problem of Waterbury is provid- ing for the large flow of traffic mov- ing easterly from the center and it is this problem that undoubtedly will be handled first among the contemplated postwar plans of inn provement for the city.
 The proposed overall improved traffic system for the city will ex- tend from point on East Main street, east of the latter'S intersec- ton with Wolcott street, bear left at the origin point and built to extend diagonally across Hamilton avenue to Bridge street across Bald win to Union down Union street where it will go underground be- meath South Elm down Union fur ther bearing south across South Main SO that 1t will biSect Canal street at a southerly point to the corner of Bank and Meadow streets onward through Riverside street, Chase parkway, and Highland ave- nue on toward Middlebury and Southbu1y.
 As stated the number one priority route will be that extending from the origin point at East Main to the corner of Union and South Elm streets.
 Development of adequate parking facilities adjacent to and within the congeSted areas likewise are among the proposals of the state highway. Much of this survey has been en- hanced by the recommendations and advice together with the records Of City Planning Engineer T. L. Scott- Smith and the members 0G the VitS planning commission.
 Local officials are actively plan- ming for what is known as off-state parking as the acuteness of the cur rent parking situation is fully l (Continued on Page D

Bone Crafts Made Easier

Ottawa, April 7.-(UP)-A new development in the field of plastic surgery-the use of soft cancellous bone in making bone gratis. even including eye sockets-has been credited to a Canadian Army Sur- geon, It. Col. Stuart Gordon. it was revealed today by the depart ment of national defense.
 Gordon first experimented with the new technique in England. where he handled the first facial casualties to come back from Dieppe.
 'T'he idea," he said, twas first suggested to me by a young Eng fish surgeon who, although he had never tried 1t himself, was intrigued by the possibilities"
 Gordon returned to Canada six months ago to become advisor In plastic surgery to the Director Gen. eral of Medical Services.
 Cancellous is the medical term for the malleable, porous material found in bones between the soft core of the marrow and the hard block" bone. or outside shell. Us- ually taken from the patients hip bones because of the quantity avail able there, cancellous bone is chipped out in small flakes and-an the case of a skull graft, for ex- ample-pressed into the cavity and smoothed down.
 In building a new section of cheek bone, an eye socket or jaw bone cancellous bone can readily be pressed and moulded into the shape required, 1t was stated. Cancellous becomes as hard as block bone with in about 28 days.

400 Forts Hit tHonshu
 .Wor Plants
Bv LISLE SHOEMAKER

Guam, April 7.-UP)-An esti- mated 400 Superfortresses. escorted by long-range Mustang fighters from bases on Two lima, poured hundreds of tons of demolition bombs on the Musashina and Nit subishi aircraft engine plants on the Island of Honshui today.
 The air armada was the largest land-based force to hit the enemy homeland and marked the first time that fighters had teamed with the giant B-29S for a double attack on targets on HonShu.
 The fighters from newly acquired bases on Two Jima, 750 miles south of Tokyo, have been in action pre- viously against targets in the near by Bonins, but this was the first time they had appeared over the Jap home islands
 The planes roared over the Musa- shina factory at Nakajima near Tokyo and the Mitsubishi plant at Nagoya a few hours before noon and early reports indicated the weather was clear enough to permit visual bombing from a medium height.
 These factories account for rough. ly tfree-fourths of the production of Japanese combat aircraft en- zines. They have been the targets of several previous raids by Super forts and serious damage to them would badly cripple enemy aircraft production.
 Tokyo radio said 40 of the Mus tangs bombed and strafed western Tokyo and the nearby port of Yoko. hama.
 The Mustangs on Two lima are assigned to the 7th AAF fighter command which is headed by Brig Gen. Ernest M. Mickey Moore, former West Point track star.

to 2.6Cc calories daily and men on
wood cutting details will get 5000
calories, they said.
Those in the camp will not suffer
from the cold this winter. the ofiici-
ais said, since a central heating
plant has been provided for the
larger barracks and stoves for the
smaller buildings.
The clothing situation, they said,
now was reasonably good and was
improving. and there we're enough
shoes for all.
Gates at the camp are not locked,
and there are no guards or barbed
wire. However. the refugees must
stay within three miles OF the camp
unless they receive a pass to go
farther.
I'VE don't use coercion on these
people" said Polk.
Nevertheless, people at the camp
are irked by the three-mile restric-

LABOR MANAGEMENT DISPUTES CATCH
FARMER IN MIDDLE, OSU SPECIALIST SAYS

Ohio farmrs stand alongside pro-
ducers from other states in the di-
rect path of missiles being thrown
by labor and management in their
fights about wages and working
conditions; and Floyd DeLaShmutt,
specialist in farm management, O.
hio State University, says the out
come of the battles is d very i'm
portant factor in farm planning.
Market outlets and market pric-
es for farm products depend a
great deal upon the number of pay
envelopes handed city wOrkmen
and the amount of pay inside the
envelopes. Farmers always favored
high production in their own in
dustry and they always have work
ed long hours to insure the success
of that policy.
Mr.. DeLashmutt explains that
feeding the world during the past
few years has cost farmers a con-
siderable part of the productive ca
pacity of their farms, and he
thinks Ohio farmers need to in
clude restoration of this lost soil
