 Car On Stone Pile
Ford Sedan Abandoned After Driver Loses Control in
 Binding Snow Storm

A 1925 Ford sedan was found wrecked on a pile of stones near the Baldwin street terminus on the Naugatuck road. Apparently the owners had abandoned the ma- chine in disgust. When the marker numbers were sent into police headquarters Captain Richard Leroy sent out a query on the police teletype to ascertain the owner. Within few minutes after the message had been broadcast the Naugatuck police communicated with the local authorities and gave them some additional information.
 The car was the property of Chirico Zuilio of 169 Thompson street, Bridgeport. Zuilio and a companion were riding down Bald win street toward the Naugatuck road when the machine got beyond his control and crashed into a pile of rocks. Failing to attract the attention of passing autoists Zuilio and his friend trudged on in the storm to Naugatuck, where they appealed to the police for shelter. They were permitted to spend the night at the Naugatuck police sta- tion.
 This morning a big auto truck along South Main street skidded and crashed into the wrecked Ford, adding to the dam ages already incurred.
 An automobile operated by Thomas P. Connor of Mtchfield colided with trolley car on Wa tertown avenue last evening about II o'clock. The auto was damaged, but no one was injured.

27 INDUSTRIES
 NOW LISTED IN
 WHOLESALECODE
Range All the Way From Beauty Supplies to
 Sheet Metal

Washington, Nov 18-One of the most important hearings to come before the National Recovery Ad- ministration was on a code of fair competition submitted by the wholesaling trade, sponsored by 27 branch associations ranging from beauty supplies to sheet metal.
 Division Administrator A. D. Whiteside declared the matter of definition and maintenance of the position of the wholesaler were perhaps the most imporant sub jects to be considered by MIRA"
 In presenting the code, F. b. Scott, of Carson, Pirie & Scott, of Chicago, declared that the econom- ic life of the country is depending upon the three factors of produc- tion, distribution, and retailing, with distributing the most impor- tant of these three." He stated that more than 100000 retail stores were dependent wholly on the wholesaler, and the 169,O00 whole salers give employment to 1,607, 7,00O persons, to whom they paid more than $3.000.O00.O00 in wages in 1892.
 Net wholesale sales ,last year were in excess of $69,000,0O0,000. He expressed confidence that the code would 'have far-reaching in- fiuence in correcting present unsat- isfactory conditions"
 The section on definition of the industry includes those firms which (a) have place of business: (b) 8 sales force or some sales mech- anism; Co sell to retailers primar- fly; (d) do not sell primarily to retailers in which they have @ financial interest. It sets forth a long list of trade practices and permits the various commodity subgroups. originally set at IA to submit supplementary codes of trade practices.

TRUCK STRIKE TO BE, INVESTIGATED

Springfield, Mass, November IS -(UP) = An investigator for the New England Regional Labor Board of MIRA is expected to come here next week to get first-hand information regarding the four week-old strike of 500 Connecticut valley truck drivers.
 This was indicated following the burning of a truck and trailer, valued at $10,000, on Jacobs Lad der yesterday, and the discovery of a crude bomb in another truck. Strikers or their sympathizers were blamed by state police in both cases. Previously their trucks had been fired and others stoned.
 Early today 15 trucks arrived here from Worcester, Pittsfield and Albany, N. Y., and 12 from Bos- ton. All were conveyed by state troopers.
 we had more trouble with the weather than with strikers this morning." one trooper said. Roads were coated with snow and ice.
 The strikers seek higher wages and 8 virtual closed shop.

CHOOSE YOUR OWN
 WAY OF SPELLING

Washington, Nov 1S.-(UP)- President Roosevelt and Maxim Litvinov cleared the obstacles to resumption Of diplomatic relations but they failed altogether to agree on the spelling of the foreign com missar's name.
 MT Roosevelt invariably spelled it Litvinov, and in all his official replies to- the president the Soviet just as consistently spelle dit Litvinoff.
 Politely, the Soviet information bureau used the presidents spell ing. The state department recip- rocated by using Litvinoff.
 Either is acceptable because there is no exact English equiv alent for the Russian letter which concludes the commissar's name.

.MAILMEN BOWL
 FIREMEN TONIGHT
Duckpin Rivals Roll Spe= cial Match on St JOs=
 eph's Alleys

Wood and words will fly as the firemen and the postal employees engage in another battle, this time bowling, at the St Joseph alleys tonight. Led by Jack Slattery, the mailmen will be out to avenge the defeat given them in golf by the smoke eaters some weeks ago.
 The postal boys depend on Pat Wellington and several other star bowlers to uphold their prestige in the big match. Each team will have 25 bowlers.
 Provided their bowling games were below par. the firefighters were relying on the strategy of Hugh Cunningham and Benny Joy to capture the bacon. Having talked the mailmen out of the golf match, these two worthies are all set to carry on the good work to- night.

 The small ball room is decorated with the Russian eagle, done in gold. it's day, too, is done.
 The ambassadors study, walled in silver colored tapestry, is piled deep with empty file cabinets, broken adding machines and out moded typewriters. A concealed door in the wall is tightly closed. It seems to lead to a vault. where important papers likely were hid- den.
 A wrought iron fence surrounds the grounds. The windows are boarded.
 Last winter a movie press agent vaulted the fence and plastered upon the walls poster which read:
 "Rasputin closed this embassy; come to the such-and-such theater and see how he did it."
 The indignant colonel quickly removed the posters There must be no tampering with the dignity of the imperial Russian embassy, he insisted, nor with it's memories.
