This is the fifth of six articles especially prepared for NEA Service by fuel conservation ex- perts.
 In preparing your home and furnace to weather this winters luel shortage, give your heating equipment 8 tip-to-toe checkup. and see whether 1t conforms to the following standards:
 Chimneys should be at least three feet higher than nearby trees and roofs. The chimney top should be free of al decoration.
 Air leakage through the base ment cean-out door should be eliminated. If you have fire place connected to the same chim- ney, seal the leaks with furnace or asbestos cement.
 A chimney should not have more than one heater connected to 1t. If you do not have separate flue for your hot water heater turn off the turn damper in the connecting smoke-pipe whenever you are not using the heater.
 CLEAN BOILER
 Your boiler should be drained of any existing scale, and refilled ito the top in hot water system, and as far as the steam line in a steam system.
 The smoke-pipe should be short, and should slant upward. Eliminate unnecessary elbows. The pipe should be flush with the inside wall of the chimney nearest the opening.
 For safety, the check damper must be located between the chimney and the turn damper, and the check damper should be at least three fourths of the smoke-pipe area. The turn damper should not stick, and you should be sure that you know its normal position 50 that you can tell whether 1t is open or shut.
 Firing, ashpit and damper doors should not be warped.
 Crates should not be warped or broken.
 There should be no air leaks about the heater or chimney. Find them by going over casting and pipe joints, around the base of the heater, doors, smoke-pipe and chimney connec- ton, with a lighted candle.
 Insulation on heater and heater pipes should not be loose Or cracked.
 The humidifier should be emptied and all incrustations removed.
 All dirty filters shoul be replaced.
 The safety valves in the steam system should be checked to make sure that they are in perfect work ing order.
 Radiators should be gone over with on oiled cloth to prevent rust and cave paint. There should be a reflection shield between the radia- tor and the wall to prevent the wall from absorbing heat. Remove radi- ator covers in order to get the max imum heat.

|Newsprint Quotas
|DrasticaIIY CurtaiIed
For 1914 by WPB
Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
Newspapers and magazines will be
simmer or smaller in 1914 under q
War Production Board order yester-
day which drastically curtails use
of paper in all printing operations.
H. M. Bitner, director of the WPB
printing and publishing division,
said the order would force maga-
zines and newspapers into fewer
pages or reduced page sizes, since
ali other economies were utilized
to meet 1s43 paper curtailment
orders.
Paper tonnage allocated to all
graphic arts industries in 1914 is
roughly rs per cent of 1941 con-
sumption, the WPB said, and will
result in scheduled annual saving
OF 1,250,000 tons of paper.
The cuts exactly follow recon-
mendations made by industry ad-
visory committees when the short
age of paper became acute.
Paper consumption has been run
ming far ahead of war-reduced pulp
production, the WPB said. The
curtailment orders will bring con-
sumption in line with estimated
production and preserve inventory
reserves, which the WPB reported at
dangerously low levels.
NewSprint available to newspaper
publishers in the first quarter of
1914 will be 23.6 per cent under the
1863 ,296 tons consumed in the first
quarter of 1941, the WPB estimated
NeWSprint quotas will be based on
tonnages required to print net paid
circulations in the corresponding
quarters of 1941.
The order fixed sliding scale of
use reductions, with the larger
papers required to make the deepest
cuts as recommended by the In
dustry Advisory Committee.
The order will cut the 941 900 tons
used by magazines in 1912 to TIL 500
tons in 1914, the WPB said.
Book publishers, who used 142 036
tons in 1912, will find their alloca-
tions for 1914 cut to 1O8 280 tons
Commercial printers also are af-
tected by the order.

Men in freight and passenger

The House Interstate Commerce
Committee yesterday postponed ac-
ton until January 10 on the SEN

an Scent hourly wage increase
which an Emergency Board recon-
mended but which Sterilization Di-
rector Fred M. VinSon vetoed. The
carriers have signed a contract to
pay the S-cent increase. The unions
originally asked 20 cents.
The House committee ordered a
subcommittee to draft an amend
ment to the Railway Labor Act

from the Sterilization Act, thereby
nullifying Mr.. Vinson's veto power
in such cases.
Transportation Director Joseph B.
Eastman warned in a press con-
ference statement that a railroad
strike could do more harm to the

enemy might do.
He said the rail workers had a
legal right to strike but in my
opinion they could not strike and
remain good citizens" He said. how
ever, he had "a great faith" in the
railroad workers and believed they
would not ruin" their record of
helping to speed victory because
they don't like wage decisions.

Until Sure Gun Crew
Left Sinking Victim
Hy the Associated Press


NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 21.--An
enemy submarine which torpedoed
"a merchant vessel in the Gulf OF
Mexico in a resumption of undersea
warfare there early this month
carefully stayed below surface until
the ships gun crew was in the water,
the Navy disclosed yesterday.
1t. q. g. Bray, 25, of Martinez,
Calf, in charge Of the naval armed
guard on the medium -sized United
States vessel, said the submarine
waited until it was safe from being
made target. When the torpedoed
ship was almost submerged, he said
the submarine surfaced and famed
the water with a searchlight.
Ten men from the gun crew, which
stuck to its gun praying for a shot
at a sub they couldn't see," are
missing and the Navy said there was
little hope they had survived.
First in Gulf Since April.
The sinking was the first in the
Gulf since early in April, 1943, when
small Norwegian merchant vessel
was sunk.
Those missing stuck to their posts
until the vessel burst into blaze at
the explosion of the third torpedo
against the engine room.
The first torpedo hit the vessels
dry cargo hold and the second failed
to explode.
The attack occurred at night
While most Of the ships crew of 7C
were asleep. 1t. Bray was the last
man to leave the ship.
1t. Bray said he made a fina]
check Of the vessel to see that all
the men had left after the order to
abandon was issued and then leapeo
overheard and swan to a raft.
The lifeboats assembled and
sailed in a group for SO hours before
being sighted and rescued by a Nor
Wegian freighter.
The survivors were landed al
