 Ruling With Heads
 In Hartford To-day
New Boiler at Driggs School Causes Discussion at Board of Education Meeting Hartford Representa-
 tive Holds Local Engineers Eliminated By Code

Called into question at yester- days meeting of the board of ed ucation at Crosby high school, the eligibility of local firms to draw plans for heating jobs was estab- lished beyond doubt today after q careful check with Hartford code authorities by Frank J. Green, president of the Waterbury Cham Der of Commerce.
 Submitted by Hartford heating engineer, a MT Beamis, plans for a new boiler at Driggs school were approved and vote passed calling for bids for the installation not withstanding the strenuous objec- tfons of Commissioner Florence E.. Webster. She was supported by Commissioners Vincent Miller and Louis Bria in her effort to have approval deferred until the next meeting.
 As part of his explanatory re- marks MT Beamis made the state ment that it was his understand ing that under the code govern- ing such work, the engineer sub- hitting the plans must in no way be connected with the firm actual ly installing the boiler. Under this restriction, he contended. engin- eers in the employ of Waterbury heating contractors would not be allowed to draw up the plans.

RELIEF CLIENTS
 AGAIN ON MARCH

Springfield, III, May 14-(UP)- A new army of destitute relief clients streamed over the highways of the Illinois coal country toward the capital today with the avowed intention of compelling the general assembly to end a threat of star vation for 100000 persons. Lead CTS of the Illinois Workers Ali ance threatened that 5000 men and women will "starve on the state house steps" until the as- sembly acts to restore relief fa- cilities.
 The vanguard of the marchers arrived as the legislators convened after a week end recess to ballot again on the proposed increase in the state sales tax rate which would furnish funds to end the crisis. Ex- ecutives of the Illinois emergency relief administration announced that the last available funds have been spent and it's clients, excep. in Cook county (Chicago) and a few downstate communities. thrown entirely on private charity.

AUTO STRIKE IS SETTLED, THEN
 IS UNSETTLED
Union Men in Toledo Voted to End It-Pickets Kept
 Men Away

Toledo. O., May IA = U.P)- Reopening of the Chevrolet trans mission assembly plant here was delayed to-day when pickets con tinuod to bar workers from the gates although the strike that clos ed the factory three weeks ago ended officially last night.
 Although the plant was sched- uled to resume operation at once, assuring reopening of six other plants forced to close because of it's Inactivity, a minority of work CTS were bitter and threatened to continue on strike. Buick workers in Flint, Mich. also were threat ening to strike, regardless of the Toledo settlement.
 Proponents of the peace plan predicted it would bring peace in all General Motors plants. It end ed a 21-day strike that has thrown s0,000 out of work, either directly by,strike. or through plant closures the strike forced.
 What Terms Provided
 The terms provided for a fiat 4 cents an hour wage increase, col llective bargaining, right of appeal for suspended workers, overtime and holiday work to be paid time and a half, piece work not subject to less than 10 per cent reduction by production curtailment, recogni- ton of a shop executive committee for arbitrating small disputes, a shop committee to discuss timing of work, and "A hour notice of i1ay-offs because of production cur failment. The terms did not pro- vide union recognition directly, nor for the closed shop.
 The peace plan, formulated by union leaders and General Motors executives, was approved at a stormy meeting of workers last night. Francis J. Dillon, American Federation of Labor organizer, was 'booed out of the hall. He suspend ed the local from the federation, then was invited to return. He re- turned. made persuasive speech, and obtained approval 723 to 3S5.

Horgan, widow of Lynn shoe merchant, died last month and her will disposing of a $50,000 estate was filed for probate here yesterday.

Horgan. who if alive would be 55, left home and never returned dur ing 20 years, Mrs Horgan directed that a $4,000 fund be set aside for his use if he ever was found and stipulated that search until 1940 should be made for him, Mem- bers of the family believed Horgan went to sea and may have been drowned.

opportunity to draw up the plans.
 Isn't there any heating engineer in Waterbury who might be able to do this work?' she said. How are We going to exist if our own people aren't given chance to bid on work in Waterbury
 John J. Walsh, president of the board, and chairman of the com mitte con 'schoolhouses, the com mittee delegated to select the en- gineer, said he didn't know of any, one in the city who specialized in such work. He explained that the Hartford man had previously done work Of this kind on both Wilson and B. w. Tinker schools and that his services had been found satis- factory. He challenged Mrs Web- ster to name a Waterbury engineer qualified to draw the plans and she said she believed she might find one if given time.
 Commissioner Vincent Miller, af- ter being told in answer to query that the work was not actually to begin until June 27, moved that the matter be tabled until the next meeting of the board for further consideration. MT Miller said he was in complete accord with Mrs Webster in the belief that a local man should be given the job if possible.
 His motion was defeated, with only Commissioners Webster and Bria voting with him.
 A motion to accept the plans and advertise for bids was then made and carried, with Commissioners Webster, Miller and Bria voting against it. The bids will be called in June 27 at 7:15 p. m. Only Waterbury firms will be allowed to submit bids for the actual work of installing the boiler.
 A check of the code governing the heating industries today failed to disclose any regulations which might be interpreted as supporting the statement made by the Hart ford engineer. MT Green pointed out that such a restriction would have the effect of creating "sep- arate industry" He added that such regulation would obviously eliminate the necessity of engin- eers being employed by contract ing firms.
 The installation of the new boil- CT it is estimated, will cost several thousand dollars.

by two salaried officers, Major and Mrs Vincent, to whom no guaranteed salaries are paid. They average $12.00 each week. ly, the amount usually paid an errand boy. Contributors to the appeal can at least be assured that the officers of the Army will not wallow in luxury as a result of their donations.
 ''The money will go to aid the unemployed men and women who are hungry and homeless; to families which are unable to sub- sist on their insufficient income; to the unfortunate who require rehabilitation and encourage ment; and to the most helpless of all, the needy little children.
 ''The question naturally will be asked, Isn't the federal govern ment or the city taking tcare of all these cases? and the answer is No. There are legal techni- calities and restrictions regulat- ing the distribution of federal and municipal funds which make it impossible for large numbers of destitute to be cared for by these agencies. Private charities must do the rest, and the pri- vate charity of the people of Waterbury has never been called upon without a hearty response.
 PROUD OF CITY
 "One thing which make me proudest of being mayor of Wa terbury is the self-sacrificing quality of it's peoples charity. It has been the great compensa- tion during the years of heart ache and suffering.
 Time and again I begged for some worthy cause or other and always the plea has been an- swered. It looks like riding free horse to death to make an- other appeal, but while the need lasts, the appeals must continue.
 ''An excellent feature of the work of the Salvation Army in Waterbury is the fact that an immediate need is taken care of immediately. Investigation is made, and quite properly, too, in certain definite cases but there is no excess of red tape to hamper the giver and kill off the desti- tute that need it. Please make your contributions to Thomas F. Moore, of the Citizens & Man. ufacturers National bank, the treasurer of the appeal commit tee. If you make your donations prom ptly, you will be giving not oaiy money, but time, most val- uable time which the Salvation Army can devote to so many oth- CT things; to soothing the suf- fering, saving homes, saving lives, saving souls.
 LEND TO GOD
 Tt goes without saying that in it's distribution of charity the Salvation Army recognizes no line of color, creed or race.
 s"In conclusion let me quote the discourse given by the cele- brated Sydney Smith in St Paufs cathedral in London. The church was packed to. the doors to hear London's greatest preacher. He stood in his pulpit and in a voice that filled the edifice to its utter most reaches spoke three sem tences: My subject is charity. Giving to the poor is lending to God. If you are satisfied with the security, plank down the cash
 "The application I wish to make to you is that giving to the Salvation Army, you are lending to God, for whose sake and in whose name this appeal is made"

 WORKING WELL

Boston, May 14-(U.P.)-A sur vey of Brockton retail and manu- featuring establishments by inves- ftigators from the office of state MIRA Director John J. McDonough resulted in wage restitutions of $2,463 to Brockton workers, 1t was announced to-day.
 "The investigators found that a very healthy majority of Brockton business men are living up to the major provisions of their codes. :" McDonough said. "I think that the prompt restitutions and the com structive spirit. of the Brockton business men is evidence of the soundness of the principle on which MIRA is based. The reason, I think, why people obey the codes is because all MIRA was written by individual industries themselves"
