Haven Railroad
Meeting Emergency
Plans Extension of Service to Meet Difficulties Re
sulting From Gasoline, Tire Shortage
New Haven, Conn., May 15—The
M«w Haven Railroad stands ready
to do Its full share In alleviating
difficult transportation conditions
brought about by the rationing of
gasoline and tires, Howard S. Pal
mer, President and Trustee of the
goad, stated today.
Already the Trustees have made
plans for additional train service
between some points where particu
larly acute needs have developed.
Mar instance betweet Boston and
points on the South Shore add
itional train service will be started
on May 34 to give parts of the terri
tory not served by other forms of
transportation additional service.
Other new trains will be placed In
service elswhere on the same date,
and continued consideration and
careful study will be given to any
onaergency conditions that seem to
warrant the providing of additional
use Of the New Haven's already
heavily burdened equipment.
Supporting War Effort
"We feel very keenly our obliga
tion and duty during the present
emergency to operate the railroad
In the manner which will bring the
fullest measure of support to the
country's war effort," Mr. Palmer
said. "Our war Job, as we see Its
general outlines. Involves giving
precedence to movements of troops,
to movements of Army and Navy
officers, Government officials, ana
others engaged In Important war
work, the movement of war mater
ials to and from our highly Import
ant Industrial territory, to the move
ment of defense workers, and after
these Jobs have been taken care of,
to take care of transportation re
quirements of the general public.
“Tire and gasoline rationing has
brought about a fundamental
change In the transportation pic
ture, tending In fact, to bring about
a condition somewhat similar to the
days before automobiles. Under
these circumstances we intend to
lean over backwards to be sure that
we fulfill our obligation in the best
Interests of all.
Equipment “Frozen”
“We shall have to be realistic
about our problems. So far as pas
senger transportation Is concerned,
we are 'frozen' with our present sup
ply of passenger equipment. While
we believe that the New Haven is
one of the best-equipped railroads
In the country In passenger equip
ment, the nature of our territory In
tensifies the passenger transporta
tion problem.
It has been estimated that normal
passenger mileage by auto had
reached approximately ten times rail
passenger mileage, so that It Is easy
to see what the effect would be with
a switch of even less than one
tenth.
“Our traffic and operating officials
are giving Intensified attention to
war-time passenger requirements
throughout our territory, particu
larly the requirements of war work
ers.”

“Black Light” Shines As An Answer
To Industry’s Blackout Problems
Here’s how “black light” beats the blackout. Photo at lelt, above, taken
under normal lighting conditions, shows research expert William Pettit
marking the numbers of a freight car with fluorescent chalk. The
invisible rays of the ultra-violet spotlight beside the track (right)
react on the fluorescent chalk to make the numbers glow. The glare
seen around the spotlight was Introduced only so that the lamp would
show In the photograph.. Normally the ultra-violet lamp shows no light.
[
By NBA Service
“Black light" can beat the blackout.
“Black light” is the ultra-violet ray, which throws on beam and Is
Invisible to the naked eye. When teamed up with fluorescent chalk, It
works on the old Invisible Ink principle, makes the chalk glow so that It Is
easily seen In the dark.
With many war Industries faced
with the problem of carrying on dur
ing blackouts, Industrial experiments
have turned to the mysterious ray
which peacetime medicine uses to
treat human Ills.
U. 8. RAILROAD
TAKES BRITISH CUE
Among the first American Indus
tries to experiment with "black
light” was the Seaboard Railway,
which serves the Atlantic Coast area
where blackouts are becoming more
frequent and extended. The Sea
board took Its cue from British rail
roads which have operated success
fully In darkness during air raids.
It Is increasingly important for
railroads transporting vital war sup
plies, because it is necessary to see
and check freight-car numbers when
assembling trstins in the yards. All
activity ceased In freight yards dur
ing Britain’s blackouts, thus delay
ing much important material This
problem was solved by the ingenious
use of the ultra-violet ray lamp.
Here’s the operation. Freight-car
numbers are traced with fluorescent
chalk. When a switchman turns his
ultra-violet lamp on the side of the
car, the number glows as if lit from
within. Thus the cars may be sort
ed and switched In the freight yard
without a flicker of light to guide
an enemy raider.
RAY'S USES
ARE NUMEROUS
There are many other potential
war uses for the ultra-violet ray
during blackouts. For instance,
fluorescent chalk might be used to
mark station names, signals and
train schedules on blackboards, and
"black light" played on them when
visibility becomes necessary. Nor
are these the only possible out-of
door uses for the “invisible" lighting
process.
“Black light,” according to the ex
perimenters, might be used to mark
military and commercial air fields,
or to light up tools and construction
material for precision work which
must be done out of doors in a
'round-the-clock industrial sched
ule.
NAMED DIRECTOR
OF WOMEN’S CORPS
Secretary of War Stimson
Appoints Mrs. Oveta Culp
Hobby of Texas
Washington, May 15. — (tJP) —
Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson
today appointed Mrs. Oveta Culp
Hobby, Houston, Texas, newspaper
executive, as director of the wo
men’s army auxiliary corps and said
that general recruiting for mem
bers of the WAAC will begin In
about three months.
The corps will be composed of
women volunteers who will replace
enlisted men now performing cer
tain types of noncombatant duties
in all parts of the world.
Local recruiting offices will be
ready In about two weeks to receive
applications from candidates for
the first WAAC officers’ training
school. This school, to be located
at Port Des Moines, Iowa, Is ex
pected to be opened within two
months.
Under terms of the act establish
ing the new “petticoat army,’’ the
corps may be expanded to a total
of 150,000 women if and when nec
essary.
However, It was understood that
initially 12,200 women will be re
cruited — 9,000 for the air raid
warning service, and the remainder
for duty at army posts and stations
as typists, telephone operators,
clerks, laboratory technicians and
work of a similar nature.
The War Department emphasized
that members of the WAAC will
not be used to replace civil service
employes now working for the War
Department.
CONGRESSMEN IN
VOTE ON GASOUNE
Washington, May 15—(UP)—The

ileges, or exemptions” under gaso
line rationing.
The vote was announced as 68
to 2.

tion as reflecting on their right, as

ited purchases of gasoline for of
ficial purpose.
Only senators to vote in favor of
the resolution* were Downey and
Sen. Claude Pepper, D., Fla.
DECISION TABLED
ON LAFFIN CASE
Judge Thomas J. Wall reserved

Nicholas Apalucci and Thomas Lu
cian, proprietors of the Legion Grill
at 389 North Main street, be set
aside. A hearing on the motion was
held at a short calendar session of
common pleas court.
The plaintiff had brought a $10,
000 civil action against the defend
ants to recover for injuries sustain
ed March 25. 1941. when he was al
legedly struck by a bartehder in the
defendants’ restaurant. The recent
trial was the second in the case. A
verdict of $2,250 had been given the
plaintiff in the first trial, but on
an appeal taken by the defendants
an error was found by the supreme
court in Hartford ami a new trial
was ordered. 1
