OLD CLOTHES
 DRIVE OPENS
Waterburians Requested to Leave Contributions at
 Nearest Fire Station

Residents of Waterbury are ex- pected to go into the old-clothes business on a wholesale scale today and tomorrow in answer to the ap- peal from peop:c of Allied-occupied countries. Final plans for the two- day collection period to be held to- day and tomorrow were put into effect yesterday at meeting of the committee at Civilian Defense headquarters.
 Clothes may be brought to all fire stations within neighborhoods and deposited there for sorting and bundling. A list of these central points may be found on the front page of today's Democrat.
 Volunteers Women's organizations, civilian defense personnel, air raid wardens, trucking concerns and many others will participate in the two day intensified drive to help the victims of war.
 Many volunteers are still needed to assist in the sorting of these discarded clothes and their assist ance will be welcomed If they re- port to their neighborhood fire-sta- tion to aid in the effort.
 Final appeals from officials of the campaign were issued yester- day urging the residents of the city to make every effort to insure the success of the drive.
 We have had the benefit and the best from these old clothes, and it is not too much to donate them so that these war victims may derive comfort and warmth from them," one official stated.

Lahey Asks Smokers
 To Use Discretion
Christmas Shoppers Urged to Avoid Impulse in De-
 partment Stores and Public Street Busses

With the advent of Christmas, the activity of the shopper and the croWding of stores, We cf tic office of the Fire Marshal desire to have it known that smoking in Depart ment stores, in public street busses, and in theaterS and places of pub lie assembly comes within the def milton of Sec. 491g of the 1943 sup lement to the General Statutes of the State of Connecticut, and for this reason We appeal to the public to have this law in mind whenever they feel the impulse to smoke in public places, and in a crowd"
 These were the words uttered to- day by Fire Marshal Den. Lahey, following instructions from the Board of Fire Underwriters and the National Fire Protection Asso- citation.
 "Just tell the people that the Cocoanut Grove disaster occurred only year ago last Sunday, and they will understand" suggested Percy Bugbee, head of the National Fire Protection Assoication of BoS- ton, and recognized by Marshal Lahey and others as one of the best fire experts of the country, along with George w. Booth of the Board of Fire Underwriters.
 When these two wise men of the Fire Prevention branch of the coun- try advise and instruct us,' con- tinued Marshal Lahey," we bow our heads in recognition of their sound advice and instruction, and go forth in an effort to peddle their ideas to our people, so that all of us here in Waterbury will get the knowledge and experience of these two excep- tional instructors. No two men in the land, we hold, are better versed or can solve a problem on a fire question like them. We run to them for their decision every time we are in tight spot And we have been in this position many times, and until we were properly directed and instructed"
 The Marshal declared that under the law a penalty may be imposed for violation of the order in the premises. But we shall make no arrests" continued the Marshal We have wonderful faith and feel keenly for all of our Waterbury peo- pie; they always, as rule, do, what we of the Marshals office advise, in the matter of fire protection. Our people are most responsive to the suggestions of this office in such matters; we feel that our Water bury people do not Intentionally wish to violate any provision of the fire laws of the state and city. We have less arrests for violation of the Fire Code of Waterbury than any other city of the state. Our population is made up of good people; they want to do the right thing at all times, even if now and then we find sit- uation which demands change from what is being done."
 The Marshal further advised that people avoid toys operated with tlamable liquids; celluloid toys burn with surprising ferocity; keep matches and smoking material away from package wrappings; keep com- bustible materials such as decora-

SoIon Hits ' Insurance Cos.

Washington, Dec. 4.-(UP)-Sen. Joseph c. O'Mahoney, D., Wyo, hoped today to block attempts by fire insurance companies to evade federal regulation by urging that strong regulatory powers be inserted in bill to exempt insurance firms from antitrust laws
 O'Mahoney charged in hearings on the bill before the senate judiciary committee yesterday that five major insurance firms dictate the policies of one third of the entire. 348 doing business. He proposed two amend ments.
 One would make 1t unlawful for an insurance firm to collect 8 pre- mium for property owned by a business in another state unless that state approved the premium. The other would prohibit the use of the mails to send matter discriminating against rival insurance firms.
 In his charges yesterday that a "hierachy" of big insurance com panies dictate rates and policies to the industry, OMahoney declared that free enterprise meant freedom not only from government bureau- cracy but also from business bureau- cracy.
 Citing constitutions and bylaws of the Insurance Executives Asso- ciation of New York and the Inter state Underwriters Board, the Wyoming senator said the execu- tives' group apportions voting strength on the basis of business volume while the underwriters group threatens punitive measures" and competitive moves to punish un- ruly members who break rules by dealing with non member firms.
 He won admission from Edward L. Williams, president of the Exc cutives Association, that the group barred firms which gave commits sions to state agencies in excess of it's recommendations.
 Williams admitted that prospec- tive members could be barred if their practices did not conform to those of the association, even though they might conform to the laws of the states in which they operated.
 However, he said he was "sick and tired of the scurrilous and ire sponsible press campaign to smear the insurance business He said that his organization was concerned only with general trends and poI- cies affecting the insurance business in the United States"

joined the army. The knowledge gained as an Ordnance soldier in how to make reparis will encourage him to have more mechanical gad- gets in his home with the assurance that he will be able to keep them working without hiring someone to fix it for him.
 One mechanical development of this war, according to General Mac Morland, will be versatile tools cap able of doing jobs that formerly required 8 much large number of different type tools. The Army Ord nance Department has already taken great steps in this direction, he says, by requiring that tool designers simplify the tools which are manufactured so that soldiers may make repairs under fire with greater speed than was ever possible with complicated tool sets.
 It is General Netherlands opin- ion that after the war, the natur- al interest of most American boys in machinery, coupled with the knowledge they have gained as sol diers, will result in such a demand for a few handy tools capable of performing many mechanical op- erationS, that the tool industry will witness tremendous upsurge for its output.
 Much of the preliminary work along these lines is now being done in Ordnance DepotS," said Brig adler General Guy H. Drewry. dis trict chief, commanding the Spring field Ordnance District, through the proper identification of tools and giving standard names and Identification numbers to all tools which do the same type of work. In peacetime, different tool manufac- turers called the same tool by sev- eral names. For instance, a spanner wrench might be called hook wrench by some manufacturers. A tool for installing or removing nuts had such varied names as nut run nerS, nut settlers, and socket wrench. They all serve the same purpose but often the thing has been confused by the name. Ordnance is establishing a standard nomenclature for tools so they may be ordered correctly as well as used correctly. Tool experts are now at work ill all Ordnance depots classifying the peace time tools of different manufacturers un- der one Ordnance Standard Mo- menclature list.
 Tt is unquestionably true" said General Drewry, that this stand ardization of tools will carry over into our next peace time period. Soldiers who have learned the uses and the name of mechanical tool are going to ask for that tool by the name they knew in the Army For this reason, it is very likely that the standardization developed by the Ordnance system will be re- f1ected in the peace time practices of the tool industry"

'CIO DELEGATES IN CONVENTION
Favor Scrapping Little Steel" FOrumIa, Support
 Medicine Bill

Hartford, Conn, Dec. 4.-(UP)- The sixth annual state convention of the CIO was scheduled today to elect Edward Lavery, Bridgeport. as president, as delegates supported a resolution to abolish the Little Steel" formula and to throw unstint- ing effort toward stepping up war production.
 Also, it was proposed by John H. Handy of the Social Security Board, to extend that system by support ing the Wagner -Murray-Dingell So- cial Security bill now before con- gress, because, i've believe that more people should not only be covered by medical insurance programs but should also be covered against un- employment, old age and death"
 Handy told the 300 delegates that today there Is in existence 50 bil- lion dollars of life insurance under the present federal old age and Sur- vivors system. We are now paying benefits under this system to al- most 100000 people-retired men and women, widows, children and elderly parents, and that number will be increased as more individuals covered by the system retire or die, and also if we extend the coverage of the system
 Handy proposed cash allowances for persons to meet disqualification costs, pointing out that nearly B. 500000 persons were suffering dis abilities at any given time, and that many of these cases resulted in permanent retirement from in- duStrial life.
 The convention was expected to re-elect John J. Driscoll, Waterbury, as secretary treasurer.

 TO REVIEW CASE

A hearing will be conducted in the State Supreme Court of Errors in Hartford Thursday on the de- fendant's appeal in the civil action brought by Margaret D. Quigley of Middlebury against Bertha E. Stan- ton of Prospect, according to the assignment list released today. The litigation is based on property ownership dispute.
 The plaintiff claimed she bought the premises in Prospect from ex- ecutors of the estate of the late William A. Reeves. The defendant alleges her father. MT. Reeves, promised the property to her if she made repairs. Judge Frank P. McEvoy found the issues for the plaintiff.

 If you have a Christmas tree, " added the Marshal, stand it in a container of water and keep the wa ter level above the cut surface dur ing the entire time the tree is in the house; don't let it dry up before or after use. We have banned flim- sy decorations in various stores be- cause they were not properly treated and made flame proof.

Springfield, Mass, Dec. 3 - When Johnny comes marching home, one of the effects of his service in the Army upon the business life of the country will be Q demand for new and better mechanical tools.

 This. according to Brigadier Gen. eral E. E. MacMarland, Chief of Maintenance in the Ordnance De- pertinent, Army Service Forces, will make the returning soldier more mechanical minded than when he

Washington, Dec. 4-(UP)-Form- CT Gov. Alfred M. Landon of Kan sas told Republicans today that COP endorsement of the "so-call- ed agreements" reached at Moscow before. they are precisely defined would be reckless and short sight ed" and disastrous for the coun- try"
 In an address prepared for deliv- cry at luncheon meeting of Re- publican junior senators, the 1886 Republican presidential candidate coupled denunciation of the admin 1stration's uncertain" foreign pol icy with a proposal that real Dem ocrats' join Republicans in drafting legislation to keep arrogant and Strutting bureaucrats within due bounds of the law"
 Landon said Republicans should reject suggestions that both parties adopt in their 1944 platforms sim liar declarations on foreign policy.
 Such a course, he asserted. would accelerate the danger of drift towards one party in our coun- try"
 Expressing fear that the Moscow declarations settled little outside of the military arrangements" Landon said there was no assurance that Russia agreed with the non-ag- grandizement principles of the At lantjc charter.
 T can find no evidence" he said, that the Russians have yielded one inci1 in regard to their well-known territorial aspirations or political ambitions in Europe
 Landon exhorted Republicans to carry out their minority party func- tions of investigation and checking up on the party in power" In this work he asked the aid of real Den- fc D
