sending from her training fields
thousands upon thousands Of her
own men and men of the other
United Nations to fight in the
cause of liberty over all the battle
fields OF this planetary war.
Without Canada's tremendous
contribution to our common des-
tiny the cause Of the United Ma
tions might have been greatly i'm
periled. With Canadas valiant and
answering aid, with the joine !
power and courage and audacity
your conference symbolizes the peo-
pie of the United Nations can look
forward confidently along the hard
road Of victory.
THE hopes Of free men and
women everywhere, the hopes OF
those who are awaiting liberation
in the countries the savage invaders
have darkened and despoiled, are
with the United Nations"

ference, Canadian Pri/le Minister

velt's suggestions dealt with the
scope of the conference and its
agenda, both Of which are military
secrets.
Key to Victory.

The aim of the air training con-
ference Is not merely the discus

Senate chamber. 1T Is proposed to
explore all possible avenues of CO.
operation and coordination in the
field of air training with a view to
planning the best and speediest use
Of all existing facilities"

Employees Turn Back

Steel Firm Operating
S. W. O.. c. Scys Principles

Loborer-Monoeer Units

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, May 19.-The full
story Of how laborers voluntarily
turned over part Of their wages to
keep q small Ohio steel plant oper-
ating-and thereby establishing a
proving ground" for union-man-
agement cooperation in other
plants-flnally was told today.

later used in score Of other firms.
Employees Cooperation Needed.
-Four years ago it appeared Empire

report said. In bankruptcy a few
years previously, the company was
In q weakened financial condition

1t apparent that the only way this
company could continue in business

The union local volunteered to
turn back to the company a siz-
able share Of wages. That was done
for a 90-day period, and the COM
pany in turn granted the union
security. Enabled to continue oper-

successfully at the Pittsburg Water

Anti-Noise Ldw Just Another '.Head-Ache" Police DeIuged With Complaints About Children Playing, Dogs Barking, Boosters Growing,
 and Cops Shooting Starlings!

them in the wee hours of the morn. ing was not conductive to sleep.
 To which Supt. Roach responded that the destruction of starlings was police function for the good of the general public" and that the service was being performed al the request of the park depart ment.
 One complainant, who said hG worked nights, was indignant be- cause the desk officer declined to send out the reserves with 8 cease and desist order to a neighbor who was practicing a piano lesson at g o'clock in the morning. T know just how you feel" said the desk officer who has been trying for years to accustom himself to the regular changes of assignment-ons of which is the midnight to 8 am hitch. But there's nothing I can dc about it."
 All kinds of musical instruments have come in for mention in the police departments complaint book since the anti-noise doctrine be- came the city's handy guide to placid existence. But most of them had been on the list long before the anti-noise ordinance saw the light of official sanction.
 Most Lack Courage e
 One of the most obnoxious prac- tices, in the opinion of officers, is that of persons who telephone headquarters at night to complain that a neighbor is having a wild party and keeping the neighborhood awake. In many cases the com plainant gives the name of neigh bor instead of having the intestinal fortitude to show courage of convic- tions and make known his true identity.
 The fact that there have been no arrests indicates that police have been successful in quieting the cause of the disturbance ill every case without the necessity of talk ing drastic action.
 Supt. Roach has not yet complet, ed the preparation of regulations which will be followed in the ad- minisrtation of that section of the law which provides for the issuancS of licenses for sound trucks, etc. He said that the regulations will be issued shortly.

BOMB DISPOSAL
 SCHOOL TO OPEN
Waterbury to Be Invited to Send Representative to
 Fort Devens

Waterbury will send one of IA Connecticut representatives to a U. S. Army bomb disposal school at Fort Devens, Mass, Aug. IT, IS and 19. Torrington will also be allowed to send representative. Bridgeport and Hartford are allotted two repre- sentatives each, while other com munities chosen are allowed one each.
 The local appointee must be certi- fled by Mayor Vincent A. Scully as chairman of the Waterbury De- fense Council He must then be ap- proved by state and regional defense leaders and by army officers.
 Mayor Scully said today that offi- cial word has not yet been received from Col. Samuel H. Fisher. state defense administrator. but that a local man will be named once 1t has come.
 At the special school, men will be trained in disposing of enemy bombs. On returning to their home cities they will direct the organization of emergency bomb disposal squads for factories and institutions. Report centers operating under them will be manned by graduates of the re- cent bomb reconnaissance schools held at Hartford and Bridgeport.

Speculation Persists
 OnScully's Candidacy
Waterbury's Mayor Mentioned for Place on State
 Ticket; Friends Doubt Availability

ian defense affairs are occupying a great deal of his time and he would probably agree to run only after considerable urging.
 Party strategists claim that nom- ination of Mayor Scully for attor- ney general would greatly help the state ticket. They believe that he would capture Waterbury by big margin and would draw many votes throughout the fifth congressional district. His candidacy would serve to counter the personal popularity of Congressman Joseph E. Talbot, Republican, it is argued.
 It is also pointed out that the nomination would serve to establish friendly relations between the Democratic state organization and local party leaders. There have been differences between State Chair man John T. Mccarthy and other state leaders and the Waterbury leadership headed by Mayor Scully and ex-State Chairman J. Francis Smith.
 Some observers believe there is a possibility that the Democrats will call on Mayor Scully to run for Congress from the fifth district as a means of regaining the congression- al seat now held by MT. Talbot. However, it is unlikely that MT. Scully would consent to run for Congress this year.

REDUCTION IN
 STAMP PRICE
Yesterday $5 Asked for Auto Use Tax; Today
 S4.59 Sale Continues

Auto use tax stamps went on sale at the local postoff1ce building this morning for $4.59, or Al cents less than car users had to pay yesterday and during all of July. Originally the U. s. Internal Revenue office announced that after August the stamps could be bought only at Hartford headquarters, but the local postal cashier reports receipt of a supply of the reduced price stickers, indicating that the sale will con- tinue here.
 Already after only one month of sale the total number of stamps whic hwere in use up to July l, a sign that gasoline and tire ration ing haven't yet forced cars off the road. A total of 25,857 of the old stamps had been sold, while sales here of the new stamp already amount to 24,950 and have il more months in which to continue. The price of the stamp will be reduced approximately Al cents each of the remaining months of the year.
 Few purchases of the stamp were made this week, perhaps because most persons who had not already put their cars in use since July l were waiting for few more days so they could take advantage of the reduction in price. All cars which are in use are required to have the pink stamp on the lower right hand of the windshield

LITTLE INTEREST.
 IN REGISTRATION.
Prospect of Primary Fails to Appeal to Local
 Voters

Party primary lists for primaries that may be held this Fall were closed today, Registrars of Voters John T. Derwln and Albert O. Fal- Ter directing the last special ses- sion for enrollments and transfers last night. From now until election time, no one can place his name on a primary list or transfer from one list to another, with the exception of those who are made new voters. They may still be placed on the primary lists.
 Only handful of voters appeared at the two special registrations ses- sions, MT. Derwin said The first session was held a week ago. There appeared to be little interest in either new primary enrollments or in transfers, he said.
 The monthly session for the mak- ing of new voters will be held by the board of registration at the City Hall Wednesday. Increases in applications for voting franchise are expected as the Fall elections draw closer.
 Voting in party primaries is re- stricted to those who are registered on the official party primary lists.

1SS VOLUNTEERS. ENROLLED HERE
05 Express Preference for United States Navy; "A
 for Marines

A total of l93 men volunteered services in the armed forces here last month, statistics compiled by the local Navy, Marine and Army recruiting stations reveal. The U. s. Navy obtained 95 rev recruits dur ing July, the largest amount ob- tained in one month in the local stations history. Seventy-four men enlisted in the U. s. Marine Corps and 24 joined the Army.
 The record of 55 Navy enlistments during June brought letters of praise to local recruiters from Navy head quarters which reported the total to be one of the best in the state. That figure almost doubled last month, as 63 men from Waterbury alone joined the naval ranks. Thir- ty-two other applicants not included in the total were accepted here but have not yet been enlisted
 Chief Petty Officers Garry Mur- phy and Preston Thorns, Navy re- cruiters, report that 140 applications were received in July as compared to 79 in June. Twelve men were re- jected, five of them for physical req sons, while Is failed to qualify ir. June.
 Naugatuck supplied 13 of the July recruits while Thomaston gave three, Oakville and Bristol two each, Wa tertown. five, and Danbury, Sey- mour, Terryville, Bantam, South bury, and Cheshire, each one.

Headaches of the local police de- partment have increased thou sand fold since the adoption of Wa terbury's new anti-noise ordinance.
 Desk officers report that in the last few weeks complaints of all types have been received, ranging from the defense worker who couldn't sleep mornings because his neighbours child was playing the piano and barking dogs to the resi- dents of Orange street who didn't like the idea of being awakened by the clarion call of rooster in a nearby yrd.
 Police Supt. William J. Roach said today that the ordinance has been in effect since it was signed by Mayor Vincent A. Scully. No arrests have been made, however.

Request for Custody Of Alleged Swindler Gets
 "Jersey Bounce"

Local officials have little hope of bringing George Carr Nickerson, 35, here from New Jersey in the imme-. diate future for prosecution on charges of forgery and obtaining money by false pretenses. .1 Prosecutor William K. Lawlor has issued warrant for his arrest, how ever, and the warrant has been filed with New Jersey authorities for service when he has completed whatever penalties may be inflicted on several serious charges of similar nature.
 A native of Gloucester, Mass, he is wanted here for defrauding the Colonial Trust Co. of more than $500 through phoney check racket. Detective Lieut.. William F. Pollard, assigned to investigate the local case, located Nickerson in New Jer- Sey where he is awaiting hearing on charges of forgery. He used the name James Mulvey in his Water bury transactions.

o. Who are ''The Gideons" and when was the organization formed?
 A. The GideonS is Christian service organization which was started by three travelling business men in 1899. The organization, now numbering thousands, en- courages the reading of the Bible and seeks to have copies of the Scriptures distributed throughout the United States. The members call themselves "Gideons" because Gideon was "a man who did just what God wanted him to dos's
