GRADE B HOSIERY
 TO BE ELIMINATED
Price 10 Be Lowered 25% After July IS Through
 out United States

Washington. May 7.--(UP)-The American woman's legs, long an inspiration for cheeseeake art, today felt the blow of government regula- ton.
 There will be plenty of rayor stockings to go around, officials said but they will be durable" And any woman knows that durable stock ings don't make cheesecake!
 The War Production Board hastily added that although durable they would be the "best possible" WIPE said that 1t would allocate sufficient quantities of rayon to meet all hosiery needs.
 "The new rayon stockings will last longer than in the past" q WIPE spokesman said. "Only durable wearable stockings will be manu- factured."
 Of1ce of Price Administration also modified specifications for the new grade A" hosiery, with the re- suit that 6 greatly increased quan- tity will be available.
 The quality has not been substan- italy affected by these new regula- tons, they added.
 The new OPA orders provide that all grade A or grade B hosiery can be sold at the price ceilings for grade A footwear until July IS. Af- ter that date, all grade B stockings will automatically be lowered 2G per cent in price. The effect, off, cials said. probably will be eventual elimination of all grade B hosiery

DRAPER AVENUE
 MAN FINED $50
Plumbing Inspector Re- ports Dangerous Viola
 ton of Ordinance

Benjamin Zukauskas, 54 of 8l Draher avenue, charged with violat- ing a plumbing ordinance was fined $50 and costs by Judge T. E. Con- way in the municipal court today, Judge Conway added the stipulation that $40 be returned to the accused providing he makes the repairs as demanded by Plumbing Inspector James Walker. Execution of the fine was deferred to tomorrow.
 Inspector Walker informed the court that some time ago" he had investigated the home of Zukauskas and discovered an installed gas heater which didn't contain a flue. Consequently he ordered the accused to have same installed, warning him that carbon monoxide escapes and would prove most dangerous. Shortly after that Inspector Walker sent a letter to the accused as confirma- ton.
 Several days ago, the inspector in- vestigated the premises which re- vealed that his order had been ig- nored. Inspector told the court that Kukauswas said, "It pleases me the way 1t is. We had the stove this way for the past 20 years and no trouble yet"
 Inspector Walker cited the death that resulted from similar situa- tion couple of weeks ago,

NO NEW DETAILS
 ON TAX QUESTION
Waterbury Tool Company Building Listed as Prop
 erty of U. s.

ComSr. William V. Gerardi (R), inquired last night of the board of finance as to the ownership ruling of the new war production plant of the Waterbury Tool Division Of Vickers', Inc. He declared that he was concerned with the published reports that records of the town clerks office show title to the $670,- 900 structure to be held by the U. S. Navy. It is this fact that caused the board of tax commissioners and ap- portionment to exclude Q city as- sessment against the building,
 Mayor Monagan said the question is one of ownership. If the plant Is United States property, the city Is not able to tax 1t, he declared.
 While Comsr. Gerardi wanted to know more about the matter, the board took no action on his inquiry, other than to reiterate the Tax Board Chairman KildufI's report that the matter would be referred to the corporation counsel.

MOST NEW ENGLAND
 INNS STILL OPERATE

Boston, May 7-(UP)-Chairman Glenwood J. Sherrard of the New England Councils recreational de- velopment committee said today that an estimated 83 per cent of the re- sort hotels, inns and sporting camps in New England which operated last season will reopen this year.
 Sherrard based his estimate on returns from questionnaires sent to some 800 New England seasonal re- sort establishments. Of those queried 280 said they planned to open while while 57 others that operated last year have decided for various req sons not to open.
 "These returns" said Sherrard, Indicate that despite the difficulties of vacation travel and the uncer- tainties facing operators in the matter Of personnel and rationing, the New England recreational indus try is doing It's best to provide facilities for rest and recuperation for war workers and their families and, at the same time, maintain its plant for the postwar period"

 The Board of Finance also voted to inform the Board of Public Works that $l0,000 was available in the appropriation for extension of water pipe and distributing system.

So many questions have arisen of late concerning fair trade prac- tices and price ceilings that a meet ing of druggists has been arranged to correct existing opinions and to obtain official advice on the vari- ous problems.
 Wilbur L. Davidson, chief price specialist of the Office of Price Ad- ministration, will attend the meet ing here for the purpose of explain ing recent rules and regulations and offering a solution to certain problems.
 In view of the fact that a serious shortage of druggists looms as in- auctions progress some explanation Is desired on the future status on licensed pharmacists. John F. Robinson, state director of Selective Service, has been invited to at tend the session and explain the future status of the limited number of pharmacists remaining in Con- necticut and who arc vitally needed to provide professional services for civilian needs.
 All members of the state associa- ton who are planning to attend the regional meeting have been provid- cd with query cards. They will outline questions which they would like explained. They may demand frank explanations Of certain trade, price or induction features. The Identity of the parties asking for vital facts and EsAres will remain a secret.
 If there arc any complaints to be filed against unfair trade prac- tices or vioaltions of ceiling prices the druggists are expected also to provide all the necessary informa- ton to bring about a correction of conditions.
 The Waterbury Druggists Associa- ton will be hosts for the occasion. Assisting MT. Dunphy in perfecting arrangements for the meeting are John L. Sehl, Ralph F. Gentle, Sid- ney G. Curran, Edward J. Murphy and Joseph A. Murphy.
