Naugatuck, April 26 - Changes in the borough charter were urged last night at q rally by the pro- gressive party at Millville library attended by about 50 persons. Speakers said the only way to re- duce the borough's debt and de- crease the tax rate Is by modern izing the charter 80 that service might be secured at lower cost.
 Speakers were Joseph w. Ny gren. party nominee for warden. Eric Mclean, nominee for aduitor, Alfred Huband, Sr, nominee Tor selectman; Julius Tausendfreundt' party chairman and nominee Tor burgess from the third ward. ana P. August Johnson, former town committee chairman.
 A complete investigation of po- lice protection in town will DO made if the progressive party wins Mir Johnson and MT Nygren said. They did not take a definite stand for nor against the motor patroi removal question on which repub- licans have attacked the democra- tic administration. They said II increased protection were found necessary, they would see 1t was provided.
 The two major parties, demo- crats and republicans, have taken advantage of the spells system as set up under the present borough charter, the speakers charged. MT Johnson said deals are often the rule with the major parties during the campaign and one of the major troubles of tho party comes after the election when 1t Is time to carry out prediction promises.
 The progressives will appoint men, if elected, who are best quail fled for the positions, Mir Johnson added.

INDUSTRIAL DUST
 | IS GREAT MENACE
Casualties Yearly From In- haling Specks Increas-
 ing Rapidly

New Haven, Conn (UP)-Visual- ize a fleet of enemy airplanes soar ing over New York city and drob- ping 100000 tons of war gases In the metropolitan area.
 Hundreds of persons probably would die and countless others would be seriously affected.
 Yet, according to Dr Yandell Henderson, professor of applied physiology at Yale, international authority on war gases and CO., inventor of the gas mask, which saved untold lives In the World War, the result would be small ir comparison to the casualties year. ly from inhaling dust in industry.
 Dust in such industries as tun- ncling, drilling hard rock and the use of asbestos, he said, cause hundreds of cases of sllicosis every year. Tuberculosis frequently de- velops, resulting in death or per- manent disability.
 "If Americans would pay as much attention to equipping the dust provoking industries with proper ventilation" he declared "where 1t is possible, and with masks where it Is not possible, nt civilians now give to worrying over improbable gas attacks, thousands | of lives would be saved"
 Fear of gas in war, he said, has been greatly exaggerated. He pointed out that such attacks or London demonstrated on several occasions the weakness of gas as an offensive weapon. The only casualties were q few blisters.

 Tho most important rally to be held by the party will take place next Thursday night, May 2, in the town hall. All nominees of the party will speak.

LAVAL PLEDGES
SECURITY DEMAND
Tells Chamber Guarantee at
London ParIey Indis-
penSabIe to Peace.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, January 30.-French Sc
curity is indispensable to the peace
of Europe" Foreign Minister Pierre
Laval told the Chamber Of Deputies
today on the eve of his diplomatic
expedition to London.
In the face of the warning from
the Nationalist Deputy, Franklin
Bouillon. that England was trying to
get France to agree to German re-
armament. Laval declared he and
Premier Pierre -Etienne Flandin, who
will accompany him, would know how
! to guard French security"
The Chamber developments, how
ever. left observers certain the Lon
| don conversations would revolve
about three topics:
l. Germany's return to the League
Of Nations through some sort of arm
ament compromise with her;
2. Adherence of Germany to the
eastern security pact so long espoused
by France, and
g. Disarmament.
Earlier the cabinet had given Laval
and Flandin its backing in opposing
| German rearmament unless Hitler
signs the Eastern Locarno pact.
Before the Chamber Laval admitted
German rearmament probably would
be discussed in London as part of the
effort to assure Europe's peace. but
added I'VE do not conceive of peace
| without guarantees of security"

GREEN DEMANDS

A. F. of l.. Chief Declares
3O-Hour Week Needed
to Supply Jobs.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Sharp slashes in the working hours
of codes were demanded of N r. A.
today by william Green, president OF
the American Federation of Labor.
Drastic reduction in hours of work
must be made If we are to meet our
unemployment problem" Green told
the Recovery Board, when it opened
a series of hearings on revision of code
labor provisions.
The longer that unemployment
problem endures the more difficult Il
will become"
Green said 100000 men and
women are out of work and that
organized labor was throwing its full
support to 30-hour-a-week legislation
as the only remedy unless code hours
were reduced.
Sees Flaw In n. r. A.
1.-THE N. r. A. has failed to make
effective the most basic and funda-
mental part Of the recovery program,
the federation chief said
Green also demanded higher min
imum wages throughout industry as &
second means Of increasing mass pur'
chasing power.
II would rather see market hungry
for goods than market on which yol
were attempting to force goods" HI
continued.
In vast majority Of the codes, the
minimum wage rates have been far
too low to meet the standards of a
decent living required by the President
when he approved the N. r. A.
Declares Incomes Less.
THE real income of wage earners
at the end of 1884 was less than in
July, 1888, owing to the increase ir
living cost"
Green also urged elimination of both
wage and hour exemptions and diff
ferentials in the codes.
A more immediate issue facing N.
r. A. however, was the automobile
industry's code. which expires today.
Although there has been no recent
statement from the industry. it Is
understood to favor renewal of the
code as it now stands. Drastic re-
vision has been called for by the N. r
A. Labor Advisory Board. on the other
hand, especially removal of the con-
troverted merit clause"
