(Continued from Page l) 4O4, the eity's new pension and re- tirement system.
 Although the laws do provide for withholding taxes being deducted from pensions there is also a clause prohibiting these deductions from certain type pensions which result, in part or in whole, from contribu- tions by the employees who will re- ceive the pensions. "the comptroller stated. These are referred tos under law, as annuities rsther than pensions, and are not taxable. I would like to determine once and for all the status of Waterbury's employees. A formal ruling will de- termine for all of us once and for all what we may expect"
 Approximately 2,000 copies of the city's pension lawV compiled m pamphlet form, were distributed to all city employees yesterday and to- day by The Democrat. The copies were given free to these employees as a public service because so few actual copies of the original act are available
 They were distributed by City Paymaster Prank Sullivan with the weekly checks, while those for the school teachers were distributed by Dr. John G. Gilmartin, Superins tendent of Schools.

Continued from Page Il United States. It would be national suicide for them to do so. I never waivered in that belief. Even im- mediately after Pearl Harbor (when the U. s. Pacific Fleet was badly crippledD I had no doubts that Jap an was going to be wiped off the map.
 T didn't know Japan had what has been described as a mad dog attitude and was going to strike ouI regardless of who got hurt.
 Kimmel said his estimate thal war was highly probable" didn't mean he considered war with Japan inevitable"
 Simplicity Scored
 T have never understood why they were so lacking in common sense. I thought there should be some forces in Japan that would see the situation"
 Kimmel also testified that the Japanese aerial torpedoes whicf caused such severe damage to hi' fleet at Pearl Harbor were simple device which the best brains oi our Navy Department" had beer unable to produce.
 Committee Counsel Seth w. Rich- ardson said the Japanese merely at' tached wooden fins to old-tash' toned torpedoes to make them op' crate in the shallow water of Pear Harbor.
 Kimmel again criticized the Nav Department in Washington for no sending him more information re- garding possible Japanese inten' tions which was obtained from in' tercepted Japanese messages.
 Entitled to All Information
 q felt that we were entitled t all the information that was avail able" Kimmel testified. T though at the time I was getting it."
 He said the Nov. 27 war warn ing" was a compilation of informa' tion previously received iron Washington but more definite ans more restrictive than the others"
 Tt indicated an attack not 1T any directions but in three or foul specific directions" he explained. e
 Committee Counsel Seth w. Rich ardson asked Kimmel whether m ever saw the phrase war warning used in a Navy dispatch before.
 Kimmel said he hadn't.
 Did 1t occur to you to ask th' Chief of Naval Operations abou this extraordinary term?" Richard son asked.
 That's just the trouble" kimme replied. T didn't consider it an ex traordinary term"

 of the accident was made by the state Police, under the direction Of Capt. Leo Carroll, and while many possible clues as to the identity of passing cars were procured all of these, in subsequent investigation, proved fH1litless. At the scene of the accident the four men men, toned above, meaning the two drivers and their passengers, were questioned and all four denied be- ing parties to the contact with the body of Mcintosh.
 The State Police are satisfied as to the whereabouts of the Elliott boys from eight o'clock until they arrived at the scene of the accident. They are satisfied with the story of Petrauskas. must, therefore, find that at 3:45 a. m. on the morning of Sunday, November l8, the weather being wet and foggy, David Angus Mcintosh was lying in the highway, unconscious from the use of alcohol or already dead, when the Elliott car, bound northerly in the travelled portion of the highway struck the supine body of David Angus Me- Intosh (here again must remark there are no injuries on the Me- Intosh body below the pelvis, which would confirm the finding that the body was struck while in a supine position): that after the Elliott car passed over the body and while it was being viewed by the Elliott boys from their car, 1t may or may not have been struck by car driven by Norman; that from the time the Elliott boys first saw the body to the time :. was removed from the high way by the undertaken it had not moved nor in any way indicated life; therefore, I must find from the evidence before me no criminal neg ligence on the part of either Owen Elliott or Frank Norman.

by the union.
 The bonus issue, pending over a peri0d of several years, involves about 1900 employees of the three Naugatuck valley plants of the concern. Several War Labor Board hearings were conducted on the issue. and just last week U. S Cancellation panel recommended submission of the dispute to arbitra- ton.
 No Indication Made
 No indication has been given by the firm as yet as to its attitude toward the arbitration recommer1- dalton. Efforts or a state lnedi- ator to receive the dispute ended in failure.
 The "ultimatum" presented to the American Brass company today oll acceptance of the steel policy Was presenteds earlier this week to the Chase Brass and Copper company which rejected the proposal. Yes- terday the proposal was made tc the ScSgill Manufacturing company which said 1t would be willing tc use the steel wage policy as a back ground for further negotiations with the union.
 The strike situation at other plants of the city today was as fol- .ows:--
 FarTeI Foundry:
 The $50 striking workers of the Waterbury Farrel Foundry & Ma chine company were scheduled tc meet Saturday at 2:30 p. m. at the hcadouarters of Local 25l at 9i Bank street to plan future strike strategy.
 Pay envelopes to the workers, whc vent on strike Monday. were dis srihuted at the factory gates today as picketS continued to pace up and down Bank street.
 The CIO strikers seek a wage boost of $2-a-day, and claim nf coVmter-proposa of any kind has been offered by the firm. Seosiii Manufacturing Company:
 Encouraged by the turn of nego. tons at the Scovill Manufacturing Company yesterday afternoon, ths CIO negotiating committed. las night made a recommendation tt fhe membership that negotiation be permitted to continue another week. 4 further labor-manage' ment conference was set for nexi Wednesday.

 A strike ballot Will be sought iron the National Labor Relation Board as a result of the retiremen policy of the Shoe Hardware diyi' don of the U. 6. Rubber Company t was announced today by Ovidi Garceau, CIO representative.
 The retirement dispute arose sev eral months ago when the firm re- tired two employees because they has reached the age of e5.
 Regular grievance procedure failes to settle the issue. and the compan. turned down a proposal to submit 1 to arbitration, the union Offleia said. The union refused to llego tate on the issue because the com pany rejected 8 union request t feinskate the two workers while ne Rotiati0ns were conducted.
 A strike at the plant would in Tolve about 250 workers.

will make sure-by dispersal, con-
cealment, protection and constant
readiness of its forces-that no sin

Despite popular conceptions of the
strength of American buildings. the
report stressed that in such typical
cities as Washington, New York.
Chicago, Detroit and San Francisco
the number of buildings OF blast
resistant construction" are insignifi-
cantly few. 1t reported only 3.5 per
cent of Washington buildings meet
such a test.
Considering, also, the comparative
population density of New Yorks
slum-crowded borouehs, the survey
said that the casualty rates per
square mile in the two japanese
cities, applied to the massed inhabi-
tants Of Manhattan, Brooklyn and
the Bronx. yield a grim conclu-
SION"
Reaction Is Typical.
The study led the experts to be-
lieve that the buildings in Hiroshima
and Nagasaki reacted to the bomb
much as typical American buildings
would have" This furnished the
basis of the warning:
The overwhelming bulk of the
buildings in American cities could
not stand up against an atomic
bomb bursting mile or mile and
a half from them
Scattered through it's findings,
the group said, are the clues TO
the measures that can be taken to
cut down potential losses of lives
and property" in case of an atomic
attack on this country.
Declaring these measures must
be taken now" if the cost is not
too prohibitive, the report advocated
