The wPB instructions TO It's
field offices. signed by W. v. kah-
Ter, chief of the construction
bureau, which became effective
Tuesday. Oct. "a. stated that until
further notice no new PISS orders
(priorities for war housing) would
be issued. regardless Of rating. The
instructions If sustained would cut
off possibility Of construction OF
more than 2oo.0 new war hous-
ing units planned by private build
ers in principal war production
areas of the nation. This Is con-
struction that has been program
med by the national housing agen-
cy as vitality needed.
The WPB declaration came,
Unexpectedly, on the heels of
the industry's acceptance of
new war housing construction
standards developed by WPB
in collaboration with the fed
erai housing administration.
These would provide for n
type Of construction hereafter
that would use . very mini
mum of critical material per
house.
The committee in its conferences
with federal agency heads has
made it clear that 1t does not pro-
test any pause that may be felt
necessary for review of our re-
naming supply of critical mate
rails.
Using the reduced floor
areas provided In the new
standards. cutting down. as
the standards require, In
plumbing and heating install
lations, substituting masonry
for lumber wherever possible,
private builders state they can
produce war housing units
more cheaply and with better
relation 10 local conditions
than can be done through gov
ernmental building, and can 10
this extent save public funds
for production Of ships, guns.

act which authorized $780,
100000 outlay for. public hous-
ing, they point out. prohibits
the use of these public funds
for war housing jobs where
private industry Is willing and
able 10 do the work.
The wPB stop order in question
does not affect home construction
now under way for which PISS
priority orders have already been
granted.

RAVEN
Meet Jim, Hollywood
bird wonder. You'll
see him with MI. Poe

VIEW Hollywood actors can
match the histrionic record
of jim, the raven. Jim, aged
six, has played in 225 films. His
sable feathers are known in every
studio in Hollywood.
Jim earns $50 a day for his
master, Curly" Twyfford, ace
bird and small-animal trainer OF
Hollywood. Twyfford started
fooling around with birds in 1880
when the depression blighted his
trade as an auto mechanic. He
started with three canaries which
he trained to ride on the back of
a dog. Now he has 168 birds,
but his prize is Jim.
TWYYY0RD found Jim as a
fledgling on the California des-
ert. He put him to work in the
movies before he was a year old,
discovered he had unusual in
teiligence even for a raven, which
has long been considered bird
OF wisdom. Jim can retrieve like
a bird dog. carry out spoken or
ders, type out his name. "J-I-M,"
light cigarettes. comb hair. and
perform many other stunts.
What makes him specially valu-
able, to both the studios and
Twyfford. is that he never spoils
a take" with temperament.
Jim approaches the peak of his
career in his next casting assign
ment - the gloomy raven in
The Loves of Edgar Allan

playing Hamlet is to an actor.
Jim's gifts don't include talk

Weatherford, Texas, she made
trips to Hollywood for the primary
purpose Of learning the newest
dancing steps to take home with
her and for the secondary purpose

When she came back to Holly

saw to IL that she looked the part.
Fame and fortune were unreason-

Mayor Not Candidate
 For Attorney General
Issues Statement Announcing Intentions to Remain Here, Continuing War Effort; Appreciates Confidence

Mayor Vincent A. Scully today announced that he would not be a candidate for state attorney eral. This decision on the mayors part was disclosed exclusively in The Democrat Monday.
 In Q statement rejecting the nom- tnation that was known to be his for the asking, Mayor Scully ex- pressed the belief that he could con- tribute more to the war effort by cenaining at home. Civilian de- Tense, especially, he said, will re- quire more and more of his time.
 Observers noted that the mayors statement still left him open for 8 possible draft" for the nomination, though associates say that he would not run under any circumstances. There is also hint that he may be called to war work in Washing ton or elsewhere, his statement say- Ing that he will continue his pres ent duties "at least until the gov- ernment feels that l should do something else to help win the war"
 Mayor scully's statement follows
 August 19, 1942.
 Mention has been made of the fact that I might be a candidate for the office of Attorney General this year. I think that the im- portance of the office of Attorney General of the State, of Connecticut requires that make my position clear.
 I feel that Governor Hurley and his entire Democratic Ticket will be successful in the coming elections. The office of ttorney- General is one of the most important posts in our state government and it is an honor to be considered for the position.
 Under different circumstances, I might welcome the opportunity to be a candidate for this office but to- day I feel that I can contribute more to our war effort here in Wa terbury in my present position than can by being Attorney General in Hartford. From time to time more
