Centers Established
 For War Information
Governor Baldwin Declares New Assignment No. Job for Every Community in State; Setup Explained

Establishment of war information centers in every Connecticut town will be the No. job of the new Committee on Consumer Informa- tion of the Connecticut War Coun- gil.
 Holding it's first meeting yester- day, the committee heard reports that information centers already functionirg in some towns are per forming a service that becomes in- creasingly valuable as war condi- tions make the consumers problem more difficult. Centers now in eX- istence will be urged to continue and will ba supplied with additional information services.
 In large towns, it was pointed out, the information center should be manned hy volunteers at least during busy periods. In small con- munities table of bulletins in the post office or the library may suffice, plus the telephone number of a To- cal war council member willing to undertake to answer questions.
 Such questions, it was reported from experience at the New Bri- tain information center, run from where to get emergency fuel and how to can home produce to queries on where to have the baby boarded while it's mother takes a factory job and where silk stockings can be obtained.
 The committee also set itself the task of gathering information for the use of consumer group leaders that are being appointed by wo- mems clubs and other organizations, and undertook the project of pro- viding lists of speakers, on local basis on consumer subjects.
 Governor Raymond E. Baldwin and Thomas W. Russell, deputy ad- ministrator of the War Council, met with the committee and strongly seconded the idea of developing the local information centers as a serv- ice to people whose ordinary lives have been disrupted in many ways by war.
 Any person in the state," MT. Russell said, should be able to go to some place near his home to get any information that he needs" MT. Russell said that bulletins from fed eral sources will be examined first at the War Council and those that have application in Connecticut furnished to local centers.
 Leigh Dannenberg, Bridgeport publisher, is the chairman of the Committee on Consumer Informa- ton, successor to the consumer committee of the original State De- fense Council.

Waterbury Leads State In Automobile Deathless Days
DEMAND ACTION
 ON 'FEUD' FACTS
Congress May Become In= vOlved in Wallace=JOnes
 Battle of Century

Washington, July - CU.P) - Representative Richard B. Wiggles- worth, R., Mass, told the house to- day that the people will demand" full investigation of the feud between Vice President Henry A. Wallace and Secretary of Commerce Jesse H. Jones.
 Wigglesworth, author of a resolu- ton to authorize a congressional inquiry of the Jones' Wallace dis pute which was turned down by the house rules committee, insisted that "the situation demands clarifca- tion."
 He asSailed Democratic members of the rules committee for voting against his resolution A Republi- can member of the committee said the vote was six to five, strictly along party lines.
 Tt is difficult to see how six leading Democrats of this house could place themselves in a position of not wanting the facts concern ing this serious situation" Wig ellsworth said.
 Senator Robert F. Wagner. D., N Y, chairman of the senate banking and currency committee to which a resolution similar to Wigglesworth' has been referred, already has stated that there probably won't be any Investigation
 Senator Styles Bridges, R., N. H. author of the senate resolution made a last-minute appeal tc Wagner to take some action now. He said we have two great per. sonalities each challenging the other and we should find out who Is right and who is wrong. Wagner turned deaf ear to the plea.

Norwegian Captain
Decorated by British
Left Moen Awarded
Honor for Saving Ship
Ry the Associated Press

Ry the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-Capt. Left
Moen Of the Norwegian merchant
navy was awarded the Order of the
British Empire last night for salvag-
ing his torpedoed ship and bringing
it safely into port.
He took the vessel to sea after it
had been reconditioned, but lost it
recently in another war area when
it became total victim of German
U-boats.
The British honor was conferred
by Sir Godfrey Haggard, British
consul general in New York, at cere-
monies in the British Merchant
Navy Officers Club.
The action for which Capt. Moen
was commended took place nearly
l8 months ago His ship-an oil
tanker-was part of large CONVOY
which was en- route to an Allied
port. Tankers, ammunition ships
and freighters comprised the con-
voy.
Axis submarines launched an at
tack suddenly in the middle of the
night said Capt. Moen. A few
minutes later a torpedo tore into
the side of his vessel which burst
into flames.
Eight men stayed with the ship,
he declared, and with the help of
the officers we were able to put out
the fires" Though listing to port
and badly damaged, the ship was
brought into the wind, steam raised
and the engines started.
The ship rejoined the convoy the
same evening and less than a week
later reached port.

Had to Be Scuttled.
Comdr. Sanchez said that during
heavy battles with the Japs in the
Solomons some of the Navy planes
returned to the carriers so full of
holes and beyond repair they were
scuttled over the side of the vessels.
But their toughness enabled
them to bring the pilots back
safely" he pointed out.
Comdr. Sanchez was officially
credited with downing five Jap
planes. One was shot down as his
squadron disposed of six of nine
Jap interceptors which tried unsuc-
cessfully to prevent the Americans
from blasting the Nipponese fleet.
On their return from the mission,
Comdr. Sanchez and his pilots were
required to land on another car
rier because of the damaged con-
dition of their ship-the Hornet.
Fun in Strafng Raid.
The officer said the greatest salts
faction of his South Pacific duty
came during a raid on Jap forces
at Bougainville.
I'VE strafed the beach and shot
up 10 large flying boats and a cor
vette. That's real fun"
