approxlmately oVV. SLlil mOre ulb- missals are to come.
 wPA Supervisor William E. Ken- nedy said today that despite the sharp reduction in the rolls, all WPA projects in the city will con- tinue to function. In some cases, only skeleton staffs will be on hand, but, nevertheless, no projects are as yet being abandoned.
 The hiring Monday will exhaust the local list of WPA applicants who have been certified for jobs. No further employees can be hired until they have been investigated and certified as to eligibility.
 Most of those dismissed still have some wages due them, mostly small sums. Many have already applied to the city Welfare Department for aid, but their applications are not yet being considered. The Welfare Department which had already been faced with a deficit for the year, vii lnow need large additional funds to be able to carry on till Decem- Der 31.

 There had been reliable reports previously that plan was being dis ctiesed among some government members for an attempt to open ne- gotiations several monthse hence if and when the danger of conflict this summer is safely past.
 Tn addition the London Star re- ported today that Premier Benito Mussolini and Pope Plus were trying to settle the Danzig dispute.
 French authorities were particu- larly bitter in denouncing the peace plan reports and in assailing a Nazi spoiesman's statement yesterday that Berlin expected Danzig to be returned to the reich without any danger of war. Such reports were Characterised as propaganda de- signed to intensity the war of nerves" against Poland and to stir Up suspicious of Poland that the British or French were ready for ''another Munich"

LAW
 NOW IN EFFECT
Ownuers Must Secure Operating Certificate;
 Danaher's Duty

Hartford, Conn, July 22--State Labor Commissioner Cornelius j. Danaher today called attention to the new elevator law, effective July 1, which compels all elevator owners to secure an elevator operating cer- tificate. The new law brings under the control of the labor department not only factory and public building operators, but elevators in dwellings as well.
 Under the terms of the law no ele- vator or escalator may be legally Op- erated in Connecticut without an op- erating certificate and the labor corii- missioner is authorized to close any elevator or escalator witch Is found to be dangerouns or is being operated without a certificate or permit
 1nasmuch as all elevators in the state must be examined and 1t twill be impossible to immediately inspect them a temporary permit will be granted pending examination and final approval. This temporary per- init authorizes the operation of the elevator within the limits of speed and capacity indicated by the marlu- facturer or insurance company which carries the insurance on the particular elevator. If after itlspec- ton, the elevator complies with the law an operating certificate will be issued.
 Under the new law all elevators and escalators in the state must be examined annually and no new ele- vator or escalator may DC erected or installed, relocated or altered until detailed plans and specifications of the proposed construction or work shall have been subitted to the de- partment of labor for approval. Pre- viously 1t was necessary only to re- quest an inspection after the con- struction or altering work had been completed.
 Commissioner Danaher has re- quested all elevator and escalator operators to notify his department as to how many they have in oper- ation 50 that registration forms may be mailed out along with forms for operating and temporary operating certificates.

 the car, was his discarded canteen, empty. From then on, the tracks were record of Hyatts agony un- dCr the blazing desert sun.
 The tracks alternately dragged from exauStion, and sprinted from a thirst t-driven haste. Beside his trail lay pulled-up mesquite bushes. Hyatt apparently had tried to suck moisture from their withered roots.
 Then the tracks began to wander in circles. Hyatt was shown to have fallen down, then got up and strug- gled on. Veteran men of the desert said his last two miles had been tor ture. Each time he fell, he tried to dig in the sand with his hands for water. The wanderings brought him near Saratoga Springs, but just the other side off a sand dune from sight of this water hole, he fell for the last night. His 20 mile hike was half a mile too short
 Two other miners, R. E. Graph and R. M. Davis, came across his broken-down car yesterday and hur- ried along his tracks. They found his body bistered and raw from having been two days under the de- sert sun. Coroner's deputies brought the body to Barstow, Cal.

It lights the way for the lay man inventor and furnishes the necessary incentive to unleash pent up ideas for the future improvement of civilization which rest dormant in the minds of many--because un- favorable propaganda or hard.to- understand legal phraseology builds @ barried of resistance that retards action. Fear of what the average person does not know has done more to retard progress than any one other trait. "Patents and the Public Interest" removes this bar- Tier in its desire to encourage in- ventive genious.
 The vital importance of invention to national defense is obvious. and the government who In recognition of this establishes @ system of pro- tention which encourages invention is the nation that is in @ far better position to win. Invariably that nation has the greatest manufactur- ing institutions which can readily be converted over to war time require ments.

Union and Eagle Lock at Ends Over Reinstate-
 ment of Members

Teryville, July 22-Possibility of a strike at Eagle Lock Company, the towns largest industry, loomed Fri day night after union and company officials failed to come to terms in the matter of reinstating two union members.
 Union officials charged that Will liam Sarojak, temporary secretary of the Workers Protective Associa- ton, and William Stanke, had been dropped because they were leaders in opposition to Michael H. Fill, Jr. deposed president of the union. The management said the men, with others, were discharged because Qt insufficient work.
 Miss Mollie Schultz, acting presi- dent of the union, said a special meeting of the union will be held at the town hall Monday at 8 p. m to discuss a possible walkout unless the two men are reinstated. A union- company conference Friday afternoon on the matter was fruit less.

Success in the next conflict will crown the efforts of the nation with the best industrial mobilization of its metal working trade. The last two decades have changed the en- tire complexion of modern armies with the emphasis not upon man power but upon machines and mechanization. The tonnage of metal used in combat units has vastly increased over World War conditions 50 that the load of in- dustry today will be immensely greater than 1t was in 1918," con- tinues Colonel T. A. Toulmin, Jr., whose interest in national defense dates back to the World War when he was successively assistant secre- tary of the General Munitions corps of the Council of National Defense; captain of the U. 8. R. Ordnance; major of ordnance. acting chiei aerial armament division of the A E. F. in France; lieutenant colonel of the Air Service and assistant chief of the staff of the Air Ser. vice of the A.

A., and colonel commanding the 329th Infantry oi the 83d Division. His civilian career embraces a distinguished record at a patent attorney and author.
 We have substituted brain fol brawn and metal for man power, the colonel adds, land where w once had 22,000 men in Q single division, we now have but 13,000 Mechanized artillery and cavalry tanks, trucks, motors and powerful weapons. machine carried O pulled, are doing the rest"
 These remarks are borne out b. the fact that recent United State army experiments have proven tha the new, automatic rifle, with 1t amazing precision and speed, wil enable 2500 men to accomplish what three times that number hay heretofore been required to achiev in the way of small.arms combat.

from the Roosevelt candidacy at the 1892 Democratic national convention. No amount of explaining is likely to mend that quarrel so far as Farley is concerned. The opinion generally held here is that if Mir. Roosevelt backed McNutt for the 1940 Demo- cratic presidential nomination, Far ley not only would bolt but would take the lead, if necessary, in op- posing him.
 .. No. 2 Question
 What Farley would do if Mir Roosevelt sought a third term is political question No. 2 in Wash ington and has been for months. The No. question is whether the president will be a third term can- didate. Inquiry on Capitol Hill and around the National Press Club de- velops an interesting conflict of opinion in which about half be- lieve his sense of loyalty would, at least, compel nominal support of another Roosevelt presidential cam paign.
 It is no secret, however. that Farley believes MT. Roosevelt has been entitled to keep his own coun. sel on third term plans but that the time will come--and soon-wher he should in fairness to others speak out. Farley has said publicl, that the late Calvin Coolidge showed a good sense of timing II making his "I-do-not-choose-to run" statement in 1927. That state ment was made in August and | MT. Roosevelt takes Farley's advice he would be expected to reveal hi intentions within few weeks.

 The Democrat reported earlier this week that two possible mayoralty candidates, former Probate Judge Dennis J. Slavin and Joseph F. Mul- vile, have declined informal offers to head the party ticket in the cam paign this fall.
