GAS FRANCHISE
STIRS STORM

Continued from page one)
Gas company this franchise and
the rate ordinance would not be
acceptable. / am not in favor
of losing two years free gas to
the city and the possibility of
getting into a legal entangle-
ment, just because of a slight
increase to approximately 400
consumers"
Stare answered: "The repre-
sentatives of the company offer
ed two years free gas to the ci-
ty if we passed a rate acceptable
to them. If you give the COM
pany what it wants you will be
discriminating against your fell
low townsmen, and that certainly
is not our job as councilmen."
E. E. Baker, secretary of the
Newark Federation of Labor,
took the floor and reminded
council that it was a long hard
fight to get the present rates in
Newark and that if the Gas COM
pany were suffering reduced rev.
enue now the consumers were
only getting back what was ta-
ken away from them during the
years 1923 to 1887. He urged
continuation of the rates and the
franchise as presented to coun-
Gil. Anthony Brecht, speaking
for the Civic Enterprise group,
said: 81 would like to endorse
the remarks given previously by
City Solicitor Charles B. Holts-
berry,"
OTHER PROCEEDINGS
Mayor Lockwood reported lic-
ense fee collections of SIT, and
City Auditor Stanley o. Coyle
certified $2025 available for
transfer in various funds.
Several appropriation ordin-
ances were passed to clear up
operations in city departments
for the balance of the year.
FORCE CUT
Under the policy of cutting ci-
ty expenditures an ordinance
was passed fixing the salaries of
certain employees in the engineer
ing department. Chief engineer
at 1925; assistant engineer, 5000,
and rodman, $3.50 per month. En-
gineer Charles Wells vigorously
protested, stating 81 think it
would be big mistake for coun-
Gil to eliminate the position now
held by Herschel Jeffries for
the past IL years in the depart
ment."
Councilman Stare replied and
said that requirements of the
engineering office have fallen

The new Controlled Materials
Plan figured out recently by the
War Production Board, is de-
signed to balance essential in
dustrial production against avail
able stockpiles of critical mater
ials. 1t goes into operation Ju-
ly l, 1943.
And the man picked by the
War Production Board for the
tough assignment of educating
manufacturers, by means of fea-
lures, conferences, and book
let's, in the operation of the
GIMP before the deadline of July
l, 1943, is none other than Har-
old Boeschenstein, president of
Owens Corning Fiberglas cor
poration, and we'll known to
many Newark associates of the
corporation and local business
men and manufacturers.
It's a big job, but there is
little doubt but what Mr.. Boesch-
enstein can do it. He is used to
handling tough situations, and
working out programs that click.
His first probable endeavor
will be to weed out the red tape.
1t is safe to say that is one
thing which won't clutter up the
GIMP when he gets it into oper-
alton.
But even at that, a hard ines
capable headache is in store for
nearly every manufacturer dur
ing the next six months. 1t will
involve endless reports, compu-
tations, and production resched-
uling.
But the final effect should be
to transfer to paperwork, many
difficulties that now clog pro-
duction lines. There's more pa
perwork in designing a house
than in building it by trial and
error, but it's usually quicker in
the end.
The basic problem which GIMP
is intended to solve is that of
eking out the limited national
supply of raw materials to get

Hobbies for Men

Instead of cultivating hobbies
such as cabinet-making and
stamp collecting, which are ex-
pensive to pursue, we suggest
that men who are seeking an
avocation take up cooking or
mending.
The advantage of these hob
bies is that they are useful and
help to keep the women of the
household sweet-tempered.
This is no joke. Lots of men
are excellent cooks and proud of
their achievements. Lots of
men sew the buttons on their
own clothes-well, Leigh Nit
chell Hodges, the Philadelphia
journalist does.
Mr.. Hodges told in the pres
ence of Mrs. Hodges, to whom
he has been married nearly for
ty years, that no woman can do
a good job of sewing a button
on a mans coat or trousers.
Mems buttons need shanks, so
the parts will fit easily and loose
ly.
To other men who sew on but
tons Mr.. Hodges offers a sug-
gestion that he considers price
less. When they go to a tailor's
findings shop for their thread
and buttons, let them buy a nick
els worth of beeswax. The wax
will keep the thread from curl
ing.

10 Days Longer

Gasoline ration books must
last for 10 days longer than dates
listed on the inside cover, OPA

their ration books 10 days be-
yond the actual date. A Coupon

York Daily News and one of the
greatest sports writer's in the
country today tell you about that
man Dolly. Jimmy has consented
to let us reprint his "POwerhOuse'
story on Stark.
dolly Stark dropped in to see
us. There's quite story in Dolly,
born Al years ago on the lower
East Side. At seven Dolly was
homeless. He fell asleep one cold
day against a telephone pole, ex-
hausted. He was picked up by a
sympathetic cop and in due time
sent to the Grace Home. At 12
he was discharged and on his own.
He advanced no farther than grade
school. Couldn't afford a high
school course. At Is, he migrated
to the Bronx and then began his
baseball career. He weighed only
lis pounds but received a trial
with the Yanks. In 20 the Sena-
tors gave him a look. In '23 he
caught on as shortstop for Jersey
City. Lack of weight forced him
to quit organized ball Then
came his first break. In '27 Stark
ran across Clyde Engel, the player
who hit the ball in the 1912 World
Series that caused Snodgrass to
make his famed 100000 muff.
Dolly had been umpiring in the
Ivy League. Engel recommended
him to the Eastern League. In
three weeks he was in the big
time.
With the help Of the one and
only Bill KLEIN, Stark soon became
the talk of the majors. He was a
streamlined official and he follow
ed plays like a cat. He had a
hawks eye behind the bat and
everyone respected his judgment.
KEN called him "the best umpire
1 ever saw" Stark worked in the
N. L. from '28 to 40. In 81 he
took a year off to broadcast
games in Philadelphia. A torn
Iigament in the Giant-DOdger OPP
ening game at Ebbets Field in 'SS
slowed Dolly up. Last spring he
accepted a good job outside base
ball, giving up that sport as well
as basketball, having served IL
years as varsity coach at Dart
mouth.

have remained.
The Bearn was carrying 100 Amer

viously ordered. A store of $780,
100000 of French gold also was re-
ported at Martinique. 1t was re-

French submarines were going to

to Venezuela.
The United States periodically has
received assurances from Vichy that
French Cooperation" with the
Nazis would not extend to the West
ern Hemisphere In December, 1941.
Secretary of State Hull indicated
that agreement had been reached
with the French authorities Of Mar
Unique assuring the naturalization
of that strategic island.
But only last February new ten
sion arose over an incident there.
This was discovery that a German
submarine had put ashore there
wounded member of its crew. The
United States asked an explanation
and received categorical assurances
by Vichy that no Axis submarine
or warplane would be allowed to
enter French territory In the West
ern Hemisphere.
Sugar Supplies Sought.
More recent reports that Axis sub
marines were using Martinique
bases in connection with the At
lantic shipping war were met with
statements by this government that
1t had no knowledge Of such devel-
opments.
Early this month the State De-
partment revealed that negotiations
were under way to supplement
American sugar supplies by buying
the production Of Martinique and
Guadeloupe, thereby also relieving
the economic distress of the island
ers. /.
Sugar and rum are the leading
exports Of the islands. Others are
bananas, pineapples, coffee and
cocoa. Since France formerly took
all these crops, the war has drasti-
cally affected the economy Of the
French West Indies.
Both islands are poor and greatly
overcrowded. Martinique has an
area Of 3s5 square miles and 1885,
Inhabitants, while Guadeloupe Is
some 600 square miles with a popu-
lation Of 100000.
