 State Capitol, Hartford, June A. The makeup of the Waterbury city court for the two years beginning July 1 depended today on whether or not the House and Senate would agree on Q minor court judgeship slate which the judiciary committee was "eady to submit. If the slate agreed to by party leaders after in- terminable negotiation, should win the approval of both Senate and House, the personnel of the Watcr- bury court would be composed almost entirely of Democrats, with the Re- publicans getting one judgeship and one prosecutorship. IT the General Assembly refused approval of the deal, Q group of influential Water- bury Democrats were ready to ask Coy. Robert A. Hurley to give the party complete control of the court.

Boston, June 4-(UP)-State and local officials said today they were powerless to take action on demands for ban on further showings of the Nazi propaganda film, Victory in the West.
 Meanwhile, Francis F. Moran of the Christian Front insisted the film was shown free to 600 members and friends in Roxbury to show the hopelessness of this nation engaging in war with Germany at present.
 Moran said that instead of aiding Great Britain and China, the United States should re-arm and become so strong that eight years hence when Hitler has conquered all oth- CT nations and is in a position to invade America" the two nations will be in the mood to cooperate with each other"

 London. June 4=(UP)-British forces today regained control of the important Mosul oilfields in Iraq, placing the middle eastern com- mand in a powerful position to deal with Nazi thraets in Syria.
 The occupation of the Mosul area virtually liquidated the Iraqui threat to the British rear, leaving the British free to concentrate upon Syria and any German offensive to- ward the Suez canal.
 The Syrian situation was viewed with grave concern and 1t was charged here that the French are seeking to provide Germany with excuse for protecting" Syria.
 The only remaining point to be mopped up in Iraq is Kirkuk where light German forces, probably air force personnel have been reported.

 London, June 4.-(UP) Twenty five years ago Britons hated Kaiser Wilhelm like they do Adolf Hitler today. In after years they learned to pity the Kaiser.

NTLNY heating plants have at
4sI tachments for heating do
nestle hot water during the
heating season. This is done by
heat-exchangers. There are two
types. Those that are installed
inside the fire box or combustion
chamber and those that are in
stalled between the heating plant
and the hot water storage tank.
For those installed inside the
firebox, the correct location for
the exchangers or hot water coil,
as they are commonly known is
above the fuel bed. 1t is not good
practice to have the heat ex-
changer installed so that it pro-
trudes into the fuel bed. Unfor-
tunately this is a common in
stallation - generally causing
trouble in the form of spotty
fires, clinkers and dirty firebed
conditions. With the exchangers
in contact with the red hot Goals,
over-heated water may result,
with the possibility of scalding.
Sometimes water hammer or
pounding is caused with such an
installation. These are some OF
the most common annoyances
traceable to this method of heat
ing water. Another fault is a
coil prevents a good firebed. 1t
is impossible to work the fire
around the coil. A heavy drain
of water will chill the coal lying
adjacent to the coil or exchanger,
lowering its temperature below
the ignition point, resulting in
unignited, dead coal, waste fuel
and general dissatisfaction. In
time this will mean no hot water
and a complaint of no heat IN
the living quarters. At other
lines, the coal lying adjacent to

In the case of the outside heat

complaint one is liable to have is
the lack of sufficient hot water.
To remedy this complaint, it will
only be necessary to take off the

PLANS FOR NEW

Work on 421,000 Project to

LARGER QUARTERS

Construction of a dial central Of
fee building at 124 South State
Street, Dover, for the Diamond
State Telephone Company, will be-
gin shortly, with completion sched-
uled for the fall of 1941. Donald
M. Huber, district manager for the
company, said the new structure
would provide space for dial mech
anisms and associated equipment.
The business Office and other teIe-
phone company departments will
have larger quarters than are now
available in the present central Of
flee building at 1872 South State
Street. At the present outlook,
telephone service in the Dover cen
trail office area will be transferred
to dial early in the summer of 1912

Georgian Colonial Design
G. Morris Whiteside, End, of Will
mington, is the architect of the
new building which will be of
Georgian Colonial design in red
brick. The southernmost portion
of the new building will contain
the business office. On the first
floor of this section there will be a
large mullioned bay window, flank
ed by two smaller windows. Above,
set in the sloping roof, will be two
dormer windows in front and two
at the rear The business Office on
the main floor will be of the count
erless type and have payment
desk near the entrance from lob
by. The other, larger section of
the building, consisting of two full
stories and a basement, will con-
tain the main entrance. The en-
trance feature will be executed in
marble. The door itself will be of
old-fashioned log-cured white pine.
Over the doorway will be a
wrought-iron balcony.
Public Phone Booths
The lobby will contain two public
telephone booths and a telephone
directory shelf. The dial equip
ment will be on the first floor. On
the second floor will be the switch
board. On the second floor also
will be quarters for operators and
other women employees, as well as
officers of the plant department.
The heating plant, mems recreation
room and cable vault will be in the
basement. The entire building will
be of steel and reinforced concrete
construction. It will have about
1900 square feet of floor space.
Mr.. Huber estimated that the en-
tire improvement would cost
around S421 900. This includes the
cost of the site, the building, the
central Office equipment, the chang
es in subscribers telephones that
will be needed for transfer to dial,
and other lines associated with the
