About 1,200 women will be notified to appear for interviews.
 Enlisted WAVES will be classi- fled in three groups, yeomen, store keepers and radio operators, and Lieut.. Giddings pointed out yeSter- day that the applicants in the first classification, yeomen, far outnum- Der the others.
 As a result, he said, applicants for ratings as storekeepers and radio operators are needed. All women will start their training early next month as apprentice seame1, but advance ment is promised for those who can qualify.
 The enlisted women will start at $50 per month, plus uniforms, board and lodging, with allowances for dependents. Promotions may bring them to the grade of chief petty officer, at $138 per month and all lowances, or commissioned if quail fled, beginning at $50 per month.

weight of the shipment. In many communities extra trucking, which is expensive and wastefu1 of tires and gasoline, will be necessary fl the cans are not prepared, and there would be the added nuisance caused by Putrefaction of foods if the cans are not properly cleaned.
 "Tin is needed by the Army and Navy for scores of purposes. With out it many of our mechanical weapons and airplanes would not operate. Both civilians and mem- bers of our Armed Forces are al- ready seeking substitution of con- tainerS made from other substances than tin for foods, but there are still some things which can be best shipped to the battlefields in tin. We only receive fraction of our needs of tin from normal sources. The kitchens of the country are the most important sources of tin re- maining.
 Housewives of the country have an active part in the war program now to an extent greater than at any time since its early days. Then they responded to the call to fur nish supplies for the fighting men. Then, as now, this country faced desperate danger.
 Then, as now, cooperation in salvage was not a matter of con- venience, but of necessity for the success of our cause"

TRYING TO SAVE
 CANNON OF l776
Used in Siege of Boston, Now Wanted for Big
 Scrap Heap

Boston, Sept. 2S.-CUP)-The Massachusetts Society of the Sons of the American Revolution ap- pealed to Secretary of War Henry L, Stimson today in an effort to save three cannon used in the siege of Boston in 1776 from the scrap metal pile.
 Secretary Edward H. Kittredge of Arlington told Stimson the society had realized the need for metal but felt these relics should be spared at least until other sources of scrap have been exhausted"
 The cannon, now in Cambridge, comprise the first artillery of the United States and are the only authentic ones in existence" he said.
 They were brought from Fort Ti- conderoga to Dorchester Heights and their presence caused the British to evacuate Boston. Kittredge said the state salvage commission re- fused to allow the. cannon remain where they are because of a gov ernment order directing seizure of all historic cannon for salvage purposes.

Waterbury, Housewives Asked To Cooperate
Offerings in Tin Can Campaign Must Be Prepared for
 Shipment No Shredding Plants in State

Hartford, Sept. 2S-Connecticut householders who are cooperating in the tin can campaign must con- tinue to clean the cans and prepare them by taking of the top and bot- tom and stepping upon the can, the State Salvage Committee said to- day. Only communities adjacent to tin shredding plants are able to ship the cans, unprepared, to the plants, it was explained.
 Lessing J. Rosenwald, director of the Conservation Division, WIPE, in Washington. said this week that only in five cities in the country may unprepared tin cans be &C., cepted. These cans are sent to To- cal Shredding mills, where they are shredded for shipment to copper mines, where the shredded tin is used for copper precipitation. Most plants have no shredding facilities.
 'New York City recently allowed the collection of unprepared tin cans," said the committee an- nouncement, since the detinning plant of the Metal and Thermit Corporation at Cateret, N. J., has the machinery to shred cans, and the plants location makes it pos sible to ship by water All collec- tions in Connecticut's tin can drive must be shipped by railroad. When tin cans are flattened, 134,000 cans may be shipped in single car, giv- ing enough weight to allow car- load rate.
 "Unprepared, only about half as many cans can be loaded in 8 car, and the freight rate is nearly doubled, for the rate Is based on the

 MT. Cashin declared that the fee provision is merely a revenue raising measure that "tolerates speech at a price and permits noise at price, He proposed that permits be issued under the supervision of the super intendent of police, as at present, but that they be issued without fee.
 Retention of the fee provision was recommended in committee report signed by Alderman Patrick Shea and Daniel Driscoll, Democrats. Board President John S. Monagan said the ordinance is copy of that in effect in New York city.

 SIMILAR CRASHES
I4 Men Were Killed as They Exploded in Air,
 Burned FierceIy

Caribou, Me, Sept. 23-(UP) = Two Army boards of inquiry were named today to determine the cause of two strangely similar accidents in which two Army bombers ex- ploded in mid-air and crashed in woods. killing IA men.
 Both planes were stationed at the Presque Isle Army Air Base and were on routine flights when the explosions occurred and sent them hurtling to the ground in flames.
 According to witnesses of the ac- cidents, which occurred Is miles apart at approximately the same time, explosions rocked both ships in mid-air and they plummeted to earth where they burned fiercely.
 One plane crashed near here and would-be rescuerS were unable to reach the ship because of series of explosions that occurred after it crashed. The other plane crashed at Washburn and though it was several hours before rescue squad reached it, a woodsman said he heard an explosion after the plane went down behind trees leaving a trail of smoke and :1ames.
 In each instance. men first on the scene said the bodies of the pilots and co-pilots were still in the con- trol cabin but the bodies of the other men had been thrown from the ships. One man apparently had attempted to jump to safety as his parachute was opened over his body.
 Army officials said the crew of the plane that crashed near here included Its. R. L. Drogula and J. A. Crocker and SgtS. w. H. Finch, Billy J. Hill, c. E. Simmons, L. A Robinson and Joseph Martino.

clude farm labor costs in computing parity rice levels. As now commuted, parity does not take that factor in- to consideration; it is merely that price for a commodity which gives a farmer the same relative purchas- ing power he obtained from the sale of the comm Sdity in the base period l9Oo-l9i4, It is estimated that the Thomas amendment would raise the parity level i2 per cent above the present standard.
 Brown said that If the farm group would "listen to logic instead of to pressure" 1t would realize that If labor costs are included in the cost of farm commodities, 1t would also have t0 be considered in the cost of commodities the farmer buys.
 "If the farmers wan. control Of wages-.and in my opinion this bill gives very definite control over wages -.this is their last chane. T,eey will Lever have another" Brown said.

ayments by the non-profit White Cross, for hospital care rendered to persons enrolled. for disqualification, have passed the $3,000,000 mark, 1t was announced today by Harry B. Kennedy, president of the Connec- ticut Plan for Hospital Care.
 Mr. Kennedy made the announce u1ent in presenting checks to the Most Reverend Maurice F. Me- Auliffe, D. D., president of St. Fran eis Hospital, and Dr. Wilmar Allen, director of Hartford Hospital, for services rendered to Plan members In these hospitals during the first half of September, when the three million dollar total was achieved.

 Tn giving the checks to Bishop McAuliffe and Dr. Allen, President Kennedy remarked that he had made the presentation in person be- cause "this represents the achieve ment of one of the most significant riilestones in White Cross history. That the Plan and its members have $3,0o0,000 investment in health in five and a half years is an impressive demonstration of the desire of Connecticut families to meet their health needs to the full est possible extent, once the means of doing so have been made avail able to them. They have done this on their own initiative, through voluntary enrolment in public service organization, through the cooperation of more than 2,500 Connecticut employers. This is the American way, through private in- itiative, without government aid or control. It has worked in Connec ticut and it is now working for more than lo,0o0,O00 people throughout the United States"

 The administration opposed amendment is sponsored by Senator Elmer Thomas, D., Okla. It was originally urged on the farm bloc by leaders of large farm organiza- tions. Thomas estimated the other day that about 250 farm Lobbyists" were in Washington seeking to put through the amendment.
 Vote Looks Close
 After the leaders conference, Sen- ate Democratic leader Alben w. Barkley of Kentucky conceded that the contest between the administra- tion and the farm bloc looked ''pret- ty close"
 Brown described administration prospects as pretty tough" but he and Barkley were trying to swing votes back to their side.
 Brown said that in view of the letter President Roosevelt wrote Chairman Robert F. Wagner, D., N. r., of the Senate banking and cur rency committee, he believed the president would veto the price stabilization bill if it included the Thomas amendment.
 ~ Meanwhile, The House tentatively approved a provision of its anti-in- flation bill giving the President General authority to fix prices and wages to control imitation. But 1t modified the provision to make 1t more specific.

 There has been criticism that this bill is too broad" Wolcott told the HoSse. T agree and have of- iered this amendment to meet this criticism.
