were in Shelby during the past
week working on refinery plans
and it is understood that they were
setting up estimates on a plant of
smaller capacity than the original
project. Johnson has held out for
the larger plant in the belief that
it offers the only permanent 'solu-
tion to the crude market situation,
contending that a large-volume plant
can manufacture and ship refined
products to a wide market at a far
greater profit than can a smaller
plant located at a point distant
from the source of crude.
johnson contends that small
plants will only serve to lower the
crude price. whereas with large
plants there is no reason why this
crude should not bring the mid
continent price, he says. The
only Justification for less than
midcontinent price, he says, would
be a lower refinery price struc-
ture, which should not be neces-
sary if the products can be shipped
out over a wide market. rather
than congesting in the narrow
north Montana gasoline market.
A small refiner cannot afford to
pay the midcontinent price and ship
crude to distant plants, he says.
whereas a plant located at the
source of crude can pay higher
price and pay single transporta-
tion charge on the refined pro-
ducts only.

raries, or charitable organizations, was proposed by Alderman Joseph Reiner, and was Uacked by the Republican aldermen. Democratic Leader Kelly declared that before any action is taken an opinion should be received from the corpo- ration counsel and each alderman furnished with 8 copy of the pro- posed ordinance. On this motion the counsel was asked to furnish an opinion whether the board has the right to pass such an ordinance and the clerk was ordered to furnish each alderman with a copy of it.
 The board confirmed the ap- pointment by Republican Registrar Albert O. FaMer of Michael J'An- thony as clerk, and the appointment by Democratic Registrar John T. Derwin of M. J. Bergin as clerk.
 A public hearing for 7:30 on Feb. 21 on the proposed awning ordi- nance was ordered.

of the workings of this sacred tenn pie of undefiled Republicanism. The result of our brief glimpse has been a Grand Jury investigation in Fair field County and an inquiry by the Governor into the entire operation of the department. These inquiries may or may not demonstrate any gross culpability on the part of any of the officials or agents of the Highway Department. Only if they fail to result in some improvement in the methods under which the de- partment operates, and in a better public knowledge and official con- trol of these methods, will our ef- forts prove to have been without value.
 Ridiculous Charge
 "At any rate the accusation of usurpation on the part of MT. Hur- ley is obviously unfounded and may prove to be rather ridiculous. AS a public official, he proceeded on the basis of the opinion of the At torney Generals office. The in- formation developed through his diligence has warranted widespread interest and careful inquiry. It ap- pears to me highly probable that his efforts will have contributed to the welfare of the people of this state.
 G. O. P. Had State Senate
 "One other popular misconception deserves correction. When MT. Macdonald was appointed by Gov ernor Cross in 1881, the Republican party controlled the State Senate. When he was again appointed in 1885, combination of Republicans and Socialists controlled the Sen- ate. No doubt contributing to that Republican Socialist camaraderie was the helpfulneSS of the Highway Department in connection with the Bridgeport highways.
 "In conclusion, I want to suggest that if MT. Bell and other Republi- cans really wish the public to with hold final judgment, as they say, they should not include such re- quests in obviously partisan political statements"

BOY COULD NOT
 BE NELSON EDDY

Hollywood, Feb. 8-(UP)-An Ore- gon rancher's wife turned down a chance to be a movie actress today. Mrs. Thelma Mankertz brought her 11-year-old son, Duke, here from a prune ranch near Salem, Ore, be- cause the boy resembles Nelson Ed dy and 8 studio desired to test the boy for the film role of Eddy as a child. Duke and nearly 300 other youngsters lost out to Bill Cody, Jr., son of former western star, who got the role. But Director Robert z. Leonard switched attention from the son to the mother. He believed Mrs. Mankertz had possibilities for another role in the same picture. She refused to take film test.
 I'm just a farm wife" she ex- plained, preparing to go back home with duke.

political controversy on the subject. The Democratic party has been per- fectly willing to await the outcome of these Investigations.
 However, we have had a state ment from the Republican national committeeman blaming Governor Cross for reappointing MT. Macdon- aid and claiming that MT. Macdon- aid is actually a Democrat. We now have a statement from Re- publican legislative leader, J. Nor timer Bell, in which he seems to be somewhat confused as to whether or not he wishes to blame Governor Cross for attempting to remove MT. Macdonald.
 MT. Bell Accuses
 MT. Bell accuses the Democrats of usurpation, apparently considers the money being spent in Fairfield county to be waste, and states that the house of representatives in Hartford would never have passed bill which would have leSSened MT. Macdonald's control of the highway department.
 Tt is obviously impossible to an- swer these confusing, contradictory statements of Republican leaders, but a statement of the Democratic attitude toward the situation is per- hapS desirable. In the first place, let it be said that the Democratic party very well realizes that Repub- lican representatives in the lower house, who represented about 209o of the people of the state, would never have willingly surrendered the keystone of their system of self perpetuation of political authority
 Unpleasant Fact
 The unpleasant fact is that the Republican representatives from the small towns defend the unsupervis- ed control of the highway depart ment by the Republican organiza- tion, and the Republican organiza- ton, in turn, maintains its control in these towns through the efficacy of financed political machine and the generous use of the patron age which it controls. Would any Republican leader care to deny that the highway department is an im- portant factor in both Republican party finances and patronage?
 G. o. P. Control Complete
 "Clearly. the situation is that the highway department helps maintain Republican control of the lower house, and the lower house, in turn maintains Republican control of the highway department.
 This in itself would not be SC bad, were it not that the highway department has been the most inde- pendent governmental industry ir this state, if not in the country. Its funds have flowed to it directly from sources of taxation, and its ex- penditures have been virtually un- controlled by any of the elected rep resentatives of the people.
 Democrats Got Chance
 "In view of these facts, it is not surprising that the representatives of the Democratic party seized the first opportunity afforded by Re- publican blunder to obtain a view

(Continued from Page D fought their way through the door to the outside. A moment after the explosion, the building was mass of flames.
 According to witnesses, Hager, though badly burned, shut off the connections to the gasoline pumps before leaving the scene. Neigh bors telephoned fire alarms, and in a few moments several companies were at the scene, with Chief Thom- as F. Cavanaugh and Acting Deputy Chief Martin J. Campion in charge.
 Private Joesph Woods, Private Frank Moore and Patrolman Ed mund Cass took two of the injured to the hospital. The other two were taken to a private car which was passing the scene of the explosion.
 Rev. Edward Caffrey was at the scene shortly after the explosion. He rushed to the hospital and admin istered the last rites of the Catholic church.
 Investigation by the fire marshal and his staff showed that attendants at the station had been having trou- ble with a partly-illed 50-gallon drum of alcohol-base anti-freeze, and had attempted to stop the drum from leaking. A rubber cap was placed over the opening of the drum. The fumes from the solution ap- parently filled the interior of the gas station, and when they came in contact with the flame from the oil stove the explosion resulted.
 What Witnesses Say
 Several witnesses said they saw the men trying to battle their way from the interior of the station. Glass from the windows of the station was blown in every direction, and cov- cred the roadways of East Main and Wolcott streets.
 Bremen eXtinguiShed the actual blaze within a comparatively short time, but were at the scene for two hours, taking precautionary meas ureS to prevent another explosion or further fire. The station was roped off, and a police guard was IIldulLdLllCQ IllCIC ldoU AlA6IlV dIlQ CO- day so that the investigation by au- thorities could be continued without any of the physical evidence having been changed.
 The station Is operated by Ansel Adkins of East Farms. It is owned by the Cities Service Co.,, which leased it to Buckley Bros, of Bridge port and Waterbury, who in turn sub-leased it to MT. Adkins.
 Hundreds of persons were attract ed to the scene. and watched f1remen quell the flames. Bremen rescued a cash box from the blazing structure.
 Fire Marshal Gives Cause
 Fire Marshal Lahey said this afternoon that Joseph R. Neil and Raymond Sjosjedt, chemists, had taken part in the investigation to- day and had agreed that the explo- sion was caused by an accumulation of vapor from the leaking drum and from other infiammables in the station.

THIRTEEN WERE
 KILLED IN CRASH
(Continued from Page D
Wanted to Fly

According to plan, the USSR-V6 was to have flown to Murmansk and back to Moscow, and then started its dash for the Greenland coast. The dirigible's crew had ap- pealed to the government for per- mission to make the flight, and in view of the increasingly serious sit- uation of the men on the ice foe the permission had been given. Nor way had offered to give any aid pos sible, so the government obtained permission for the dirigible to base on Norwegian territory.
 Get State Funeral
 In announcing the crash, the gov- ernment said the victims would be given a state funeral and that their families had been awarded 10000 rubles (nominally $2,000) each and life pensions.
 The USSR-V6 tragedy added to the difficulty of rescuing the four men under Dr. Ivan Papinin who last May were set down at the North Pole by airplane. They had estab- lished their base on the ice, In the months since they had drifted on a zig-zag course southward until today they were about 50 miles of the east coast of Greenland.
 When the dirigible started out, two icebreakers had already started to the rescue and a third was about to go. Each ship had airplaneS. But the ice was in such condition that the icebreakerS could not ap- proach the scientists and an air. plane landing was almost impoSsi- ble. Hence the dirigible had been the chief hope of early rescue.
