An auxiliary heating system
planned now for next winter will
save many worries when the first
cold days appear. 1t may be used
before it is time to start the large
heating system-thereby saving fuel
or 1t may be used for direct heat
where needed in case you plan to
run the whole house at lower
degree of heat. 1t would be a good
nlan to get these arrangements all
in order now so that they will be
ready to operate in the fall.
Most OF us are familiar with the
oil heaters which are such a Joy
at camps or at the seashore. They
are just as useful at home to take
the chill of cold bathroom or
warm q small room where elderly
people or invalids sit.
These heaters come in both single
and double burner type, and many
OF them are portable. They de-
mand only regular cleaning and
servicing from some member Of the
family to be kept in perfect order.
There are also the electric heat
ers, which may be purchased only
for a limited time. These are ideal
when quick warmth is wanted for
a short period OF time, such as
during the baby's bath.
Conditioning Of Fireplaces.
II you have fireplace which you
seldom use because your furnace
gives adequate heat. it might be a
good plan to get 1t in condition for
use. See that the flue is clean and
that the damper in the flue works
properly.
Wood cut to the proper size
should be stacked and dried for
winter use, or better than that, a
basket CRATE which burns coal or
camel coal will keep steady
warmth for = longer period with
less attention.
II you have q Franklin stove or
can purchase one you will find how

ing room.

tiles required.
They must administer rent con-
troll and, II necessary, ration the
housing supply.
They must bring pressure on ex-
isting municipal agencies to see
that added schools, fire, health and
police protection are provided, and
back this pressure with Federal
funds. Their main job will be to
produce a unified plan of co-ordi-
mated activity.
"Once such plan has been an
nounced, 1t will be clear to private
capital where and whether it can fit
into the program. 1t is entirely pos
sible that temporary housing built
with private money could meet the
Governments requirements and still
pay its owners a reasonable return:
a clear statement Of the shelter
types required and permissible rents
should settle the matter one way or
another very quickly"

and cleaning, check all the valves
and advise you when everything Is
in order for starting the furnace in
the fall.
A small laundry stove might be
installed to keep the basement dry
and warm and also make hot water
in a hurry IN case you are keeping
the heater in low gear. The stoves
take only = shovel Of coal twice a
day and do q very competent job
of both water heating and warming.
Many pieces Of equipment are
still available in the retail stores.
1t Is wise for you to make arrange
ments for your familys safety and
comfort by getting what you need
now. This is not a case of hoard
ing but q wise looking ahead"

Many OF the old-fashioned heat

far as the amount of heat they pro-

A CART WITHOUT
A HORSE

James Caesar PetrillO is laughing, and
not up his sleeve, either, at the federal
government today.
The government, as represented by AS
sistant Attorney General Thurman Ar
mold went to court to try to break Petril-
los Hitleristic blockade of recorded mu-
sic, and didn't even get to first base. The
government, in fact, famed swinging at
the first three pitches, as they say IN
baseball.
Federal Judge John P Barnes, Chica-
go, did not even give Petrillo'S attorneys
a chance to argue. They didn't need to-
, The Judge tossed out Arnold'S motion for
a temporary restraining order faster than
: Petrillo can wreck an army camp Juke
box.
Of course, Arnold will appeal to the
Supreme Court Meanwhile, Petrillo is
denying records to juke boxes, radio sta
tions and individual Americans, all on
the specious pretext that the records are
taking bread and butter out of the mouths
of the members of this labor union. 1t
doesn't matter, to Petrillo that he threw
hundreds out of work when he ordered
, his unionoerS not to make any more
commercial recordings. 1t doesn't matter
, that a great many of his union members
made their lvings solely by making re-
. cordings.
Petrilo's got a laugh coming, because
. the government can't do anything about
. it.
The federal courts decision was the
second kick in the pants for Arnold in
b. like circumstances. The first came when
he tried to break up labor union trust,
and was told by the Supreme Court that
the law, as it is written, does not recog-
nize that labor union can become
trust.
Arnold should have taken the hint
then, and laid off trying to break up
through the courts the vicious practices
for which there is no preventative in law.
Being an aStute man, he should have
recognized that he was not merely put
ting the cart before the horse-he was
trying to cover ground in cart to which
there was no horse hitched, either behind
or before.
There's got to be law before it can
be enforced, and there will be no law
against labor union racketeering, abuses
and monopolieS until congress sticks
fist under the nose of New Deal labor
policy and says, Get out of here; there's
no room in America for the little Hitlers
you've created.
Petrillo's Naziism are strictly within
the law, and will be until the law is
changed. That cannot be too soon.

ARGENTINA

The Western Hemisphere's own little
tempest in teapot is liable to develop
into more than that if the United States
relaxes the pressure campaign it has evid-
emily started against Argentina and
Chile, the only two nations in this hemi
sphere which are still trying to do busi-
ness with the Nazis
Our state departments conduct thus
far has been worthy of the highest praise.
The pointed cancellation of Argentine
credits under the lend-lease law, and
Undersecretary Sumner Welles' remarks
about axis agents in those two countries,
were thoroughly justified and exceeding
ly we'll timed. Argentina's protests and
the cool way in which they were met were
only further acts in the diplomatic Jug
CLING.
Whatever economic pressure we can
bring should be brought, until Argentina
and Chile live up to their Pan-American
commitments. They cannot be friends of
ours and of the Germans at the same
time.

HOT CARGO AND
COLD FACTS
Jacksonville Register)

Jacksonville RegiSter)
1t seems a pity that SO much distor-
tion of simple facts and so much emotion
al illOgic on the part of minority of I'M
petuous labor SpokeSmen should becloud
the hot cargo and secondary boycott ref
erendum-Proposition One on the general
election ballot.
TIE hot cargo and secondary boycott
bill is now law of California. 1t was
enacted by vote of 33 to 5 in the state
senate and 81 to 26 in the assembly. 1t
is war emergency measure, effective
only until May /. 1943, or until the end
Of the war emergency 1t serves to pre-
vent irresponsible persons, who cannot be
controlled by responsible labor leaders,
from interfering with industrial war eff
fort.
This law bans the hot cargo" practice,
or the collective refusal of employees or
employers to transport or handle the
products of some entirely separate firm
involved in labor dispute wholly its own.
This law also bans the secondary boy
cott," an extreme labor weapon designed
to prevent a business man or farmer or
their employees, even though they are
free of labor trouble of any kind, from
doing business with some firm which is
in dispute with its own employees
ms Is JnS sole eNIeHI Ol IIle law. IL
does not prohibit employees from joining
union, nor from organizing for collec-
tive bargaining, nor from striking against
an employer nor from pcketing an en-
ployer. The law in no way prohibits en-
ployes who go on strike from conducting
a direct or primary boycott against the
struck firm.
The referendum on this issue sums up
simply enough. A vote of Yes on Propo-
siti0n One is a vote to retain as law
measure passed by an overwhelming ma
iority of the legislature and approved
as sound, fair and patriotic by the public
opinion of thousands of union workers,
employers, farmers and leaders respons-
ible for war plant output. A vote of No
on Proposition One is vote to kill that
law and leave a dangerous weapon free
for the hands of the irresponsible.
The plain facts should be clear guide
for the thinking voter.

MOSCOW, Oct. 13.-UPD-Bit-
ter winter weather gripped the
Mozdok area of the eastern Cau-
easus today as armored trains
blasted out path for the sdvanc-
ing Red army.
The defenders of Stalingrad beat
off German attacks and set them
selves for a renewed grand scale as
sault against the ruins they now
had held fer so days.
Pravda, the Communist party
organ, published pictures of Red
army men fighting in the Mozdok
area. They were wearing winter
battle dress, with heavy great coats
and fur caps, with flaps down and
fastened over their ears.
BILLIARDS. COME EARLY
The cold in the MoZdok area, in
the foothills of the Caucasus mcun-
tains, already was becoming intense,
dispatches said. Normally heavy
blizzards begin in that area by the
middle of next month. but ice coats
the narrow trails weeks earlier and
makes travelling over them almost
impossible.
A big battle ragged in the Mozdok
area south cf the Terek river, where
the Germans, fighting time as we'll
as the attacking Russians. were try
ing to drive to the nearby Grozny
oil fields.
The Soviet noon communique re-
ported both Russian and German

attacks inside Stalingrad. The Ger
mans tried again to break through
a factory settlement in northwest
Stalingrad. They were beaten OIL
and $50 of them were killed.
NAZIS BREAK LULL
Fifty German tanks and 5000 men
attacked in the same area yeSter-
day. breaking a three-day lull in
the battle. They gained slightly,
but at the prohibitive price of 2000
men killed and 20 tanks destroyed.
A Russian unit penetrated Ger
man positions inside Stalingrad last
night. killed go soldiers, destroyed
two guns and five machine guns
and captured two trench mortars,
six machine guns and 20 tommy
guns.
Front-line dispatches reported
that the Russians had retaken a
small railway station outside Stall
ingrad. Black, shining Italian tanks
for the first time were thrown into
fierce counterattackS. Being thin
ly armored, Russian shells pierced
them as if they were tin.
CAUCASUS LINE HOLDS
The battle ragged with undimin-
ished violence south of the Terek
river in the Mozdok area of the
eastern Caucasus, where Adolf Hit
Ter had thrown big forces, hoping
to drive to the nearby Grozny fields
from which he had been held two
months.

As TO
IsOLATIONISTS

(San Francisco ChrOnlcle)
The adjective book is hurled bodily at
all who assail the isolationist members of
Congress, by booklet Just off the press
in Washington, patiently in the interest OF
the Congressman under attack. If the
New Republic is to be called cleft wing,
what adjective should this booklet have
applied to The Christian Science Monitor,
which likewise did the public the service
of publishing the voting records OF the
Congressman?
The reason these isolationist Congress
men ought not to be returned to Washing
ton has nothing to do with their sincerity.
1t is because they have proved themselves
possessors Of a type of mind that cannot
or will not face realities. They are not
suitable as members of a Congress which
have to face the realities of re-making the
world

although the elements of luck and
weather also had to be considered.
NEW PLANES NEEDED
The. question of types of bombers
to be used in scourging the Reich
is becoming more and more i'm
pCrtant.
Britain's big bombers, such as the
Lancaster, were built primarily to
carry a huge load and provide the
backbone of the RATS devastation
technique.
Mosquitoes, fortresSes, BoStons and
Liberators, however, are built for
speed or toughness and altitude
which are increasingly necessary to
penetrate the concentrated defenses,
especially in daylight.
In addition, the American bomb
ing technique emphasizes high al
titude bombing with great accuracy.
In this method, the big planes are
able to avoid heavy anti-aircraft
fire.
