told reporter that so far the in

troll" but there are no limits" to
which the trouble may not go.
Chief Inspector Zebley was re-
luctant to give individual instances

offense.
He said he thought the Shortages
of necessary electrical equipment
might be traced back from con-
tractors to their suppliers, in some
cases.

officials said that, as result, an
increasing amount of substitute
equipment is offered for inspectors
approval, and in some cases would
constitute a fire hazard if it were
approved.
The question was dragged out
when a warning that municipal in
spectors must be more on the alert
for deliberate violations" was issued
in the address of James D. Lynett,
section president and chief New
York electrical inspector, at the
opening convention session in the
Mayf1oWer Hotel.
Each day in New York we are
confronted with contractors who
claim they can't get the materials
we require" Mr.. Lynett said. Per
sonally, have investigated a lot
of these statements and found they
were not correct.
When he was told one type of
fluorescent lighting fixture was un-

telephone and found 5000 units.

Wife Kills Husband
In Pistol Mixup
By the Associated Press.

BY I0e hSSOC-dleQ Press
NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-Police
today considered the possibility that
a mix-up of pistols-one of which
fired blank cartridges-was respon-
sible for the fatal shooting yesterday
of Andrew Tannraillo, 81, by his
youthful wife while their three chill
dren looked on in bewilderment.
The hysterical widow, Blanche
81, told investigators she thought
the revolver held only blanks. She
found the gun in a drawer, she
said, and exhibited it to her hus-
band who told her: Its a blank
Put it down"
She said she replied, "If it's a
blank, I'm ging to shoot you" and
pulled the trigger. A bullet struck
him in the heart and he died almost
instantly.

Airport Crowd 6asps
When One Motor
Of Transport Stops
But Other Engine Takes
Plane on Climb as Port Of
Sufety Demonstration

Several thousand spectators at the
Washington National Airport gasped
when the left motor of a 21-paSsen-
ger Eastern Airlines transport sud-
denly stopped as the large Douglas
plane swept past the observation
platform yesterday afternoon.
1t was all according to plan" and
had been announced beforehand as
a demonstration of the ability of BIZ
motored planes to fly with one
engine, should the other be disabled.
But the motor on the far side of
the craft was not visible to the crowd
and for all the spectators knew the
big ship might have been headed for
an unScheduled landing.
The planes left wing dipped little
for moment, but the gasp sub
sided as the ship regained a level
keel and started climbing, just to
show the extra motor was not really
needed.
Qualify Every 80 Days.
Capt. Fred E. Davis, in charge of
the lines advanced flying training
Wv AoAOIly Wllo was pllOb Va tliC pldIiC,
explained that Eastern and practi-
cally all the other air lines, required
their pilots to qualify every 80 days
in flying and landing while using
only one motor, but that the demon
stration was being made public on
the theory that seeing is believing"
Even up in the plane, where the
roar of the other motor can be heard
and felt, it gives an eerie feeling to
see the three-Dlade propeller stop
while the plane is less than 1000 feet
from the hard-surfaced runway be-
low.
Capt. Davis, who has done the
same stunt so many times he has lost
count, says stoppage of one motor
happens only once or twice a year
on scheduled flights: If it occurs at
night, as it did to him one time about
six years ago, when passengers can
not see the propeller stop, few of
them notice any difference.
Draws Round of Applause.
The plane cruises at slower speed
and cannot attain as high altitude
but can fly as long as the gasoline
lasts for the one motor, he said.
The demonstration drew round
of applause for Capt. Davis when
he landed, but one young girl ap-
peared a little confused. To her es-
cort, who had just explained that
the plane was flying with the motor
on the other side of the plane which
she could not see, she said:
Has Secretary Ickes ordered
planes to fly on one motor now?"

WHAT ABOUT SALES
TO SOLDIERS?

Several inquiries have been re-
ceived from local cafes desirous OF
knowing whether the sale of an alco-
holic beverage to men IN the uniform
of the army, navy or marine corps is
legal. These inquiries come from tav-
erns in rural areas, for permit-holders
in the larger Ohio cities are already
we'll aware that there is no ban on the
sale of beer, wine or liquor to our
armed forces.
The fact that ban on the sale of
such beverages to soldiers was put
over during the World War undoubt-
edly causes some confusion in the
public mind on this question. That
ban is no longer in effect.
Queried in regard to this topic by
our Columbus correspondent, DR.. ia
cob B. Taylor declared that "There is
nothing in Ohio's liquor regulations
or liquor control act, or anything in
federal law to forbid the sale of beer
wine or liquor to men in the federal
or state armed forces provided they
are 21 years old"

We don't want dictatorial methods
for many reasons; one of them is that
we want to have democracy AFTER
the struggle is over.
Soldiers need to remember that
they don't want to come back into
regimented civilian life.
But be these things as they may,
be our love for free action deep as
possible, there come times when he
who insists stubbornly, or corruptly,
upon getting in the way of national
need gets told where to go to spend
the time until peace comes again.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

co-operators remaining in Hitler's
own land are now being pillaged by
the Nazi bosses.
This is not anti-Nazi propaganda
the news comes from the Nazis them
selves, in the official German news
service, as follows:
Berlin, March Property of the
cooperative societies has been trans
ferred to the German Labor Front by
decree published on February %.
Centres of distribution are to be
converted into retail shops and turned
over to private ownership.
GAS distribution branches are to be
given mainly TO men who fought at
the front, these changes will take place
on the whole only after the war"
Cut of their own mouths the Nazis
are revealed in their true colors: not
only for their pillage of other peoples
property, but also for their hatred of
any popular cooperative organization.
The cooperative shops and property
they seize are to be turned over to
the opponents of cooperation.
AS serious as any danger from out
side enemies is the challenge on our
own economic and social fronts. I'm
less we can provide more secure and
more adequate incomes for everybody
than they have had in recent decades,
no guns or ships or planes can give
the nation effective "total' defense.

tential plenty is a pistol pointed at

NO FREEZING OF WAGES!

The unsound notion that wages
should be frozen" and should not ad-
vance with expanding production and
profits is given well-deserved wallop
by the American Federation of Labor
in the American Federationist for
May.
The federation makes it clear that
it is labor's position that proposals
for the freezing of wages are grossly
unfair. In an article entitled "Should
Wages Be Frozen" the federation dis
cusses the question and answers it
with an emphatic "No!"
"An adequate living for every
American citizen is our country's obli-
gation-and its opportunity" the fed
GRAFTON says. Therefore labor asks
that this be our national policy: No
freezing of wages, but progressive
wage increases according to each COM
pany's ability to pay, as determined
by collective bargaining based on
facts"
Admitting that there is danger of
fast-rising prices and living costs in
the defense boom, the federation
points out that "the danger is not in
wage increases"
'Wages are an important cost, we
agree" it is declared. "They actually
make up 16 cents on the dollar! But
let us not magnify the 16 cents and
forget the "a cents"
The A. F. of L. position on the sub
ject is summarized as follows:
Freezing wages-stopping all wage
increases-to prevent runaway prices
is not necessary. Such action would
be grossly unfair to workers, whose
chances for improvement would be
stopped while employers continue to
make high profits"

Trade unionists from Germany and
Nazi-occupied nations, now living in
Great Britain, are setting up their
own union organizations, in collabora-
tion with the international Fedora
ton of Trade Unions and the British
Trades Union Congress.
1t is proposed to form separate ma
tional groups for workers from France,
Belgium, Poland, Austria, Czechoslo-
vakia and Germany, the |. F. I. U. re-
ports. French and Belgian groups
have started organization and the
Germans have followed. The Ger
mans action is seen as particularly
significant, lining up democratic Ger
man trade unionists with their fellow
workers in other nations in military
opposition to the Nazi tyranny.
Germans attitude is revealed in a
manifesto published in their journal,
"Die Arbeit" (Labor). The manifesto
says:
'In the face of Nazi and Fascist
boasting, the publication of our jour-
nal at this moment is the clearest
token of the living power of interna-
tional solidarity and of the unshakable
resolve of all workers to carry on the
fight that has been forced upon them,
until the Nazi dictatorship and the
forces which have allied themselves to
it are finally defeated"

on every other free and democratic
institution in countries under Nazi
domination, the Cooperative Union

it is encouraging to learn that prog

traitor, who has just informed Senator
James NJ. Mead of New York that in
the last nine months there has been a

quirements with respect to age of
skilled workers securing employment.
at is reported from almost all states
and in almost all industries that
skilled workers, especially in the
metal working occupations and other
occupations for which there is great
demand, can find employment no mat
ter how old they are, as long as they
are physically able to perform the
duties required of them," McNutt told
Mead.
This is good news and the nation
can stand lot of it.
