 '"The city of Bridgeport in 1e39 had, as its share, the tidy little sum of 3,981. In that year the city of Bridgeport collected old age as- sistance taxes the sum of $236, ,602 but only $192,62l were turned over to the old age assistance fund.
 bristol, in 1939, has for its share $5,727.67. Torrington's take that same year was $6,48l.82, and SO it goes with every single town and city sharing in the half million dollar grab every year.
 "On April 1st of 1939 there re- mained uncollected in old age as- sistance taxes the sum of 1,205, ,70l. With the penalties and other costs added to this the sum greatly in- creased. However, the important point here is that If eevry cent of that uncollected money on April 1st, 1889 had been collected the poli- ticians would have had the entire $1,2O5, ,701 to pass among the cities and towns.

Offer Of Rewards Or Bonuses For
 Rents Illegal

Prospective tenants who adver- tise offers of rewards" or "bOnuses" for information leading to Che discovery of a house, apartment or flat, were warned today by State OPA Director Chester BowIes that such ads are a basis for illegal transactions" "
 "Jf a landlord or his agent ac- cepted this bonus from a prOspec- tive tenant" BowIes said. "he would make himself liable for prosecution under the rent section of the Price Control Act which ex- pressly fOrbids collection of any payment for rented property be- y0nd the legal rent prescribed. In most cases, this rent should be no higher than that collected April l, 1941."
 Whether these practices arise from a misunderstanding of the law or intent to evade it, Bowles observed, "the OPA will not allow a few individuals to obtain unfair advantages in the present hous- ing emergency"
 "The rent control law is an in- tegral part of the fight against imitation and is already working to protect the standard of living not only of tenants, but of land- lords and every other Connecticut consumer" he stated.

Edward J. Ryan of Thomaston, American Progressive candidate for Congress today opened his cam paign with public statement in which he charges that every city and town and political machine in the state of Connecticut is sharing in 8 half million dollar grab from the old age assistance collections.
 The quotas for the towns and cities, set by politically minded in- dividuals, are so low, that every city and town in the state shares in the grab of money intended to aid our aged and needy citizens, Mir. Ryan charges.
 Said MT. Ryan in part: "The present old age assistance law was conceived only for the aid, comfort and financial assistance of the poli- ticians and their political machines While Connecticut has an old age assistance law which gives more aid to politicians than it does to the needy people, our political lead- CTS are loud in their boasts that we have a huge surplus in our treasury, amounting to ten million dollars.
 Idle Money
 T ask what good is this money resting idle in our state treasury? The best way to put this money to work is to start right now to pay every American citizen reaching 60 years of age and living in this state for at least seven years, the sum of $60 every month for the rest of their lives. It would be mandatory that this money be spent within thirty days.
 The federal government matched, dollar for dollar, every pension pay at present, up to forty dollars per month. The average assistance giv- en our needy people is only around $28 per month, this means that Connecticut pays only $14, the gov- ernment pays the other $l4. In other words program could be worked out under which the ten million dollars could be doubled by federal funds, under which an ade- Quate monthly annuity of $60 per month would be paid our people, over sixty years of age, not earning more than $500 annually, citizen and resident of this state for at least seven years.
 Today our state pays pension to its employees, although the em- ployes have been living at the pulp lic's expense for years, and these same state employees have been re- ceiving comfortable salaries while others were out of work. all 10 our principle cities pay firemen, police men, teachers and city employees pensions. Our federal judges earn a handsome salary while active, yet when they retire they are pension ed off for life at an excellent pen- sion.
 This kind of class distinction must end. We must have a pension system for all our people.
 ITO substantiate my claims that cities and towns share in a half million grab. every year. at the ex- pense of our aged and needy people let me quote these facts and figures.
 General Funds
 "In 1e41 the city of Waterbury collected, from the tax payers, the sum of $143,307.00 in old age taxes. Which the people of the city paid. thinking the money would go to aid our needy people. However, the fact remains that the city of Waterbury turned over for old age assistance that year only $l30,8l8.32.
 "The balance of $12,48868 went into the city general funds where the politicians dedicated how and where 1t should be spent.
 "The city of Hartford shared. in

WALTER POWSK|
 BADLY INJURED
Thomas Platen Is Under $500 Bonds as AssaiIant;
 Cane Used as Weapon

Thomas Platen, 29, of 83 Ives street, charged with being the as- sailant of Walter Powski, 52, of 260 Walnut street, was granted 8 con- tinuance until August 25 under bonds of $500 when arraigned be- fore Judge Theobald Conway in city court this morning on an as- sault and breach of peace charge resulting from fight on Ives street last night. Powski was taken to St. Mary's hospital where II stitches to close a head wound were neces- Sayr
 Patrolmen Joseph Kendrick and Joseph DereSkevice arrested Platen who appeared in court this morn ing, his shirt stained with blood. He told court attaches the blood was not his own, but Powskis
 Platen told police at first that he had been attacked by several men. but later admitted he and Powski were the only ones engaged in the fight which resulted when Platen took offense at some alleged unpa- triotic remraks made by the elder men.
 St. Mary's hospital authorities re- ported this morning that Powski also suffered fractured skull in the melee and numerous decorations and contusions of the body. Platen Is believed to have assaulted Powski with cane which was broken in half during the fight.
 Powski's bond was also set at $500. Only a breach of peace charge is lodged against him. Patrolmen John Moynihan and John Shea took Powski to the hospital at 4 a. m.

City Hall leaders have thus far remained aloof from the 18th Dis- trict battle and may maintain hands-off policy in the campaign. There Is as yet no sign of the party leaders advancing a third candidate who would enter a primary with organization backing.
 The primary is expected to be set down for May, the 24th. This would be only three days before the nom- mating conventions, which are to be held the 27th.
 A move was underway today to win support for George Carney. chairman of Selective Service Board 16-A, for the nomination. However MT. Carney was not personally ac- tive, and observers pointed out that he would, under regulations, have to leave the draft board to cam paign for political office.
 Senator Lawlor is known to be planning definitely to run for the nomination, though 1t is reported that he will have to resign his state position before entering his name.
 Candidates other than MT. Law Tor, and MT. Tobin, and possibly MT. Carney, have withdrawn from the field or may do so. Work in a defense plant will probably keep Eugene Sullivan of the East End Community Club, brother of Alder man Martin F. Sullivan, from en- tering any primary. Friends of

CARS LOOTED ON
 SCHOOL GROUNDS
Tires, Rims Taken From Two Machines; Ration
 ing Book Taken

Owners of two automobiles parked in the Kingsbury school lot last eve- ming awoke this morning to find the rear wheels of both machines tire less and rimless They had been left standing on their own jacks which the thieves used in their mid night or early morning act.
 George B. Horan of 1I5 Randolph avenue, prominent local appraiser and golfer who maintains an ofhce in New Haven, and J. R. Curtis of 38 Crescent street, were the victims. Horan is owner of a Dodge coach and two Goodyear tires, 500 by 16, were taken. Curtis is the owner of Ford coupe whose door handles were also badly mutilated by the thieves.
 Curtis told Lieutenant William Pollard, who conducted the investi- gation this morning, that his A gasoline ration book and registra- ton was also missing. A brand new brief case in Horans car was not taken which the owner repossessed at police headquarters this morn- ing.
 Patrolman Matthew Guarini later discovered two automobile wheel rims at 6:30 o'clock this morning at 88 Linden street, one blue the other green. Both were tireless and Lieutenant Pollard, after looking them over at headquarters this morning, believed that one of the rims might possibly belong to one of the owners of the two cars plum dered last night in the Xingsbury school lot.

the old wall surface. The paint is
held by a deep pile fabric on the
roller and is instantly transferred
to the wall without previous
preparation. And at the same time
it gives the walls a rich, stippled
effect formerly obtainable only by
the use Of painted canvas.
The new plastic finish comes In

once il has dried, which takes
about an hour. Usually il covers

room to be decorated and lived in

Styling
Modern Design Has Basic
Plan, Say FILA Officials

The architectural style called
modern is something more than a
new or unusual method of exterior
treatment, Federal Housing Ad-
ministration officials say.
The development of modern
home design has been similar in
its trend TO past architectural
styles. 1t is a result of the adap-
tation of modern materials and
modern planning principles to
present-day requirements of living.
The basic characteristics OF
modern design are defined as an
attempt ID to create a plan
which will provide a functional
relation between rooms arranged
to suit present-day modes OF
living, to facilitate efficient
housekeeping, and 10 permit an
economical use OF materials: (2)
TO permit the exterior treatment
to be dictated primarily by the
plan. with little or no regard for
traditional concepts; to use mate
rails efficiently, economically, and
bodily eliminating decora-
tive features and relying upon
texture and color of materials
together with skillful arrange
ment of masses and openings.

Freakish House

Proper Design of Home
Increases the Value

FreakiSh architectural house de-
signs are viewed as containing a
greater degree of risk as security
for insured mortgages than those
in which the architectural treat
ment may remain attractive to
the market for sustained periods
of time.
To assure high marketability all
design motifs should be in good
taste, have a utility basis. or add
structural value and attractiveness
TO the general scheme.
Use of false effects Of roofing,
false half-timber work. or the un-
usual handling of combination OF
or materials inappropri-
ately used in the particular case
involved usually affect the rating
adversely.

acter are qualities which are per-

insulation Helps

In repairing or remodeling resi-
denees, home owners should re-
member that insulation serves 10
keep heat outside in summer as
well as 10 retard its escape in
winter. 1t accomplishes these di-
rectly opposite functions because
Il blocks the transfer of heat
energy. Insulation can be added
while repairing wall surfaces by
refinishing with any of the various
insulating boards.

Prepare Surface
Before You Paint

The smooth. somewhat oily sur
faces of tin plate and galvanized
iron present a complicated finish
ing problem, for it is difficult at
best TO make paint stick to sur
faces with a glossy sheen. Con-
|sequently, surface preparation
plays a most important role In
producing durable paint jobs on
coated" sheeting. Surface prep
aration on tin plate and gal
vanized iron Is primarily matter
OF cutting the glossy sheen to pro-
vide teeth" for a firm bond be-
tween the paint film and the

surfaces are roughened, the adhe-

Huge Savings
Volume in j. 5.

New evidence that American
families are putting away" a
huge volume of savings came Sat
urday from the Federal Savings
and Loan Insurance Corporation,
which revealed that investments
in insured thrift and home-financ-
ing institutions increased more
than S100,0OO,000 in the first si>
1912.
"Since January, the trend OF
new investments has been up
ward and In June the rate OF
increase was 1.8 per cent over
the previous month. equal to the
rate OF gain a year ago." said
Oscar r. Kreutz, general man.
ager of the insurance corpora
ton. For the first six months
OF 1912 as a whole, the gain In
investments was approximately
half that of the first six months
of 1912.
This lower rate OF increase
was to be expected. The nation
wide campaign to sell war bonds
and stamps, in which insured
associations are taking an i'm
portant part, has diverted .
great volume Of savings from
ordinary channels into war secu-
rifles. The larger the flow Of
money into war bonds the better
