Remove Calcimine

TO REMOVE an old calcimine
finish of the regular glue-bound
type. soak the finish thoroughly
with hot water applied with an old
calcimine brush and remove with a
sponge.
If it is a cold water paint and
does not come off so easily. use a
soda solution to which some starch
paste has been added TO thicken it
and to allow the soda TO work.
Apply several coats of the solution
and allow it to soak. The thiekest
parts of the coating may then be
removed with a broad-backed knife
and the wall washed with warm
water.

Continued from Page D item at the end of the month will carry over for snow removal in November and December.
 A scrutiny of the figures shows that despite the severity of the March storms and the necessity of throwing all available men and equipment into the fight to keep streets open for local traffic, the city did not spend much more than the mean average for January and February. Actually. though, the city spent close to $l5,O00 in January and about $4,20O in February for snow removal. The latter month was remarkably open, whereas Jan- uary was snowy and sleety, de- manding constant sanding of hills and intersections.
 Costs High Elsewhere
 The March expenditures to date are consistent with the average for this time of the winter. but con- siderably lower than the cost for fighting the crippling March storm in other cities of Connecticut notably New Haven, where it is re- ported to have cost s23.000 for this one snow-stornl.

prOVlQed now py 0 cnarteT change which he succeeded in pushing through the legislature two years ago.
 Re-Hearing Scheduled
 A re-hearing on the charter re- vision bill was announced yesterday at Hartford by Senator John L. eul- livan of New Britain, chairman of the committee, after complaints that 1t had been announced before the Waterbury Day hearings last Wed- nesday that the main charter bill would not be taken up on that day.
 Senator Culhane asserted that the administration claim at the Wed- nesday hearing that Inauguration of new officials in October would not give time to prepare the budget for the next year were "asinine and ridiculous. He said that his pur- pose ip having the inauguration in October was to prevent lame duck" administration from making up the budget of new administra- ton.
 Objection may also be made by Senator Culhane to changes pro- posed by the administration in the pension sections of the charter. He Is also expected to oppose provi- sion reducing the city clerks bond from $25,000 to $5,000.
 Senator Culhane said today that he did not know the main charter bill was to be heard last Wednesday and left the hearing after speaking iri favor of bill giving a pension. to Mrs. Kathryn Lynch, widow of Fire Chief Thomas J. Lynch.
 Postponed
 The legislative bulletin listed the main charter bill for a hearing Wednesday for several weeks, but Senator Sullivan had announced that at the request of Senator Ed ward P. Egan of this city he would postpone the hearing on the lengthy bill to later date. However, on Wednesday, at the request of local officials, the bill was heard. Sena- tor Culhanc contends that this was unfair to persons who wished to oppose the measure.

SCHOOL MEASURE
 SLATED TUESDAY
Local Delegation Going to Hartford to Support Sen.
 atOr Egan's Bill

Senator Edward P. Egan's bill di. recting the state board of educa- ton to establish state trade school in Waterbury will be discussed at hearing before the etl,lcation con- mittec of the General Assembly at the State Capitol, Hartford. next Tuesday afternoon. A local delega- ton will be on hand to support the measure.
 The bill provides an appropriation of $500,000 for furnishing and equip ping the school and If 1t is approved by the education committee will later go before the appropriations committee for hearing. Gov. Rob- ert A. Hurley has stated that funds for a trade school here will be made available If the legislature approves the city's request.
 This week the legislature author ized the city to issue $l00,000 in trade school bonds. This sum will be added to the $150000 the city hopes to get from the David Porter estate and the total sum will be used to erect the necessary buildings on the Porter property on Meriden road.
 AS soon as legislative approval for @ trade school here Is given the city plans to ask superior court for a ruling allocating the Porter fund, which has been growing since the l880's, for trade school purposes. The money was left by MT. Porter for the establishment of a college in Waterbury.

tContirued from Page D of Cvetkovitch and Cincar-Marko- witch for Vienna had been postponed until substitutes could be found for the three men who had resigned from the cabinet.
 Quick Settlement
 Germany, informants said, agreed to the postponement but expressed the wish that the crisis be settled most quickly.
 It was indicated that the sigma ture of a German- -Jugoslav agree ment would mean an immediate attack on Greece by hundreds of thousands of German troops massed in southern Bulgaria.
 Popular feeling. traditionally anti- German, was mounting against an agreement with the Nazi govern- ment, though the public was forced to depend largely on runors for in- formation as the newspapers had not published the terms of the pro- posed agreement.
 Martial Spirit Felt
 Martial spirit was intensifying. Not only the man in the street but also most of the responsible ele- ments in the country opposed the government decision to give in, well informed sources agreed.
 The government deferred plans to sign the agreement when the three cabinet ministers who had rsigned, refused adamantly to withdraw their resignations despite the per- sonal intervention of Prince Regent Paul.
 It was indicated that the govern- ment might have to seek known pro-German politicians to i'll the posts.
 Post Offered Gregoric
 There were reports that a post had been offered to Danilo Gregoric. acting director of the semi- official newspaper, Vreme. He, on several visits to Berlin within the last few months, had prepared the ground for negotiations with Germany.
 Mentioned also as possible substi- tutes for the resigned cabinet min- isters were Dragonic Ikonic, dissi- dent member of the democratic party, a Serb Agrarian.
 The resignation of Bank Cubrilo- vic, minister of agriculture, was one of special significance to Jugoslavia. His brother was hanged by the Aus trianS as one of the plotters respon- sible for the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand which precipitated the last war.
 Three Officers Flee
 Indicative of army feeling, three young officers disappeared from Belgrade and fled to Greece to vol- unteer, One of them, Momcilo Smil- janic, is a brother of the assistant minister of foreign affairs.
 The resigned cabinet members stuck to their decision with the greatest determination. Prince Paul sought for hours yesterday to re- tain them by refusing to accept their resignations. They formed him to do so by writing formal letters start ing their refusal to serve longer.

 Smoke Like Fog
 The sky all round Plymouth was reddened by the flames and the pail of smoke which lay over the city and its environs was like a London fog. Yellow chandelier flares and glittering white strings of flaming incendiary bombs could be seen in the smoke.
 Rescue squads worked all during the raid taking wounded out of the ruins of homes, shelters and hospi- tals. Many homeless were taken at once to emergency relief centers where throughout the night food kitchens supplied them with hot meals and hot drinks.
 Homeless Aided
 When the raid had ended, the homeless were given the best accom- modations available. Hundreds made homeless In the first raid were driven from their temporary homes
