OFFICIALS AVERT
 GASOLINE WAR
Bristol's Flare-Up Over Prices Adjusted Through
 Waterburians' Appeal

Through the timely intercession of the Waterbury Gasoline Dealers As- sociation a price war, similar to that which existed here in the late win ter, was broken up in Bristol and vicinity yesterday. Originating in Bristol several days ago the price war. resulting in prices as low as 10 cents a gallon at many indepen- dent stations, had spread to nearby Terryville and even into New Bri- tain.
 President Edward Lane of the To- cal association and John Porzen- helm were invited to address the dealers at a meeting held in the Bristol Chamber of Commerce hall last evening and their remarks are generally credited with swinging in- to line dealers who had precipitated the price war.
 Local independent dealers had been watching the Bristol war for the past three days, as it was be- lieved that had it continued to spread, it might even have come in- to the Waterbury territory again. Prompt action by the local officials

(Special to The Democrat,

State Capitol, Hartford, May 26 : An unprecedented legislative mix-up over Waterbury charter changes has resulted from the passage of the Brass City city manager referendum bill. Leaders confess themselves as ''up in the air" over procedure, since the city manager measure affects Waterbury bills already passed at this session of the general assembly or still in the hands of committee.
 Into Waste Basket
 The Waterbury pension act, the sewer assessment moratorium act and other important Waterbury measures which have been passed by both houses and signed by the gov- ernor will go into the waste-basket if the voters of Waterbury accept the city manager charter at the ref erendum Oct. 3.
 Some sources even claim that no action on other Waterbury bills can be taken this session, in view of pas sage of the city manager bill. This view is opposed by Senator George

 May Complicate Situation Also

T. Culhane, of Waterbury, who will press for passage of the all-inclusive charter change revision bill spon- sored by himself and Republican Town Chairman J. Warren Upson of Waterbury.
 < But no action on this bill, which is in reality 8 number of bills, can be taken until many revisions have been made to bring it into conform ity with the city manager bill. For instance, the -Upson bill provides for election of city officials Oct. 3, to take office Oct. g. But the city manager bill, already passed provides for special election Oct 3 on the proposed new charter, and for the city election Nov. IA.
 The other provisions of the Gull hane-Upson charter bill, even if ap- proved by both houses, would not become effective if the city manager charter is accepted by the voters of Waterbury.
 Provisions
 The bill provides for a new de- partment of purchases and a new department of the budget, each to be headed by a director; it elimi- mates one of the city court prose- cutors, cuts out the surplus resource sinking fund, gives the mayor wider powers but allows the aldermen to override his veto by a majority vote.
 One portion of the bill affected by passage of the city manager meas ure is the one which would have ended the terms of all city employees, from executives, down to laborers, as of Oct. g. This provision appar- ently must be stricken out.

DIoNNE QUINTUPLETS SCORE
 HIT WITH THE KING AND QUEEN

The Di onne quintuplets, dressed in their prettiest clothes and wide-eyed with amaze- ment at seeing the out side world for the first time, were taken 10 Toronto aboard their special seven-car train "Quintland" to meet the King and Queen. They curt si ed to the Queen without topp1ing over, then hugged and kissed both the King and Queen, gave them their aut tographs and pictures, and then the King and Queen talked to them for l9 minutes, after which the Queen re- marked "they are the most beautiful child ren ever have seen." Their maj esties also met the parents, MT. and Mrs. 01iva Dionns, Dr.. Alan Ray Dafoe, the physician who became world famous with the birth of the babies, and three nurses who helped take the little girls to Toronto.
 Each child, Marie, Ceci1e, Emilio, An nette and Yvonne, was dressed in a little long court dress of organza, with white poke bonnet tied under the chin and falling back from the head, accentuating their brown hair. They wore me sh mittens tied with little ribbons, patent leather slip pers and white socks. Their long dresses just permit tied the toes of their shiny new slippers to be seen, and their little bon nets bobbed on their shoulders they walked.
 Queen Elizabeth presented each of the little girls with little white coats which she had brought from London.

 "Ladies and gentl lemen, you have seen the King and Queen. Now you will see five queens, the worlds dar1ings."
 He said that Dr. Dafoe had asked the as- sembly to remain seated and silent. No applause or demonstration please. The Quint would just pass thru the chamber and must not be frightene Then they came in charming procession, Papa and Mama with two between them, then the three nurses each with a quint by the hand.
