New York. Dec. lO.-In an enc deavor to help users of portable kerosene heaters avoind e depetition to fatalities already caused by care- less use of such heating facilities, tl.e National Board of Fire Under writers has issued a set of sugges- tions for the safe use of these sup lemental heaters.
 The suggestions are contained in a bulletin which was mailed today to chiefs and officers of fire de- partments, municipal building of- ficials, as well as other fire preven- ton experts, throughout the coun- try. They were developed as a result of a number of recent deaths which grew out of fires caused by overturned orl carelessly used port able oil heaters.
 Pointing out that many people will be using kerosene heaters this win- ter because of the shortage of fuel for regulating heating equipment, the Board suggested observance of the following rules:
 ITO use a portable heater safely:
 Thoroughly inspect and clean 1t each Fall;
 Keep clean and free of dirt, oil

REVISED WAGE
 SCALE SOUGHT
Employees of Manville's Meeting With Manage
 ment Representatives

A re-adjuStment move to bring the wage level of the employees of the E. J. Manville Co. up to standard will be requested when c. I. o. off cials, shop representatives and Row. icy W. Phillips, company president meet this afternoon at 3:30 D. m, it was stated today by Patrick O'Neill, national representative of the c. l. O., Mine, Mill & Shelter Workers union, bargaining agent for the em- ployes of the local indudstrial con- cern.
 Contract adjustments will aslo be requested, the union official stated, when grievances that have arisen will be placed before the company president.
 It was stated by Robert Walk trshaw, c. I. O. representative that wage increases, If granted, will be made retroactive to Dec. 1 at which time the union filed a grievance for the increase.
 It has been reported that company officials are negotiating for the sale of the concerns buildings to take effect upon completition of war or ders now in the stages of semi -com- pletition.
 A recent report that the War Pro- auction Board had prohibited the sale of certain pieces of equipment by omoany officials has not been confirmed and representatives of regional offices, of the WIPE, for this area, told the Democrat that they had not received any such di- rective from Washington.
 As reported here the corporate name, goodwill, patent rights and the principal equipment of the plant have already been sold to the Na- tional Machinery Company of Tiff fin, Ohio It is understood that this latter concern had recently objected to the program of Manville officials of shipping the remaining machines, called for in the sale contract, in piece-lneal shipments to be assem- bled in Ohio, and that demands were being made that tho entire machine be set-up here before final ship ment.
 Many workers at the East Main street plant have obtained availabil- ity slips from the USES to gain employment elsewhere, in view of the fact that the local concern is def initely on the way out of Waterbury.
 Work on war contracts, now held by the company is progressing slow ly, it is reported, with completion expected in about 4 months.

police department. He was ad- verse to the limelight, and didn't care much to have his name in print. He just carried on, had his head with him upon all occasions and seemed able to do just the right thing at the right time.
 His fellow policemen liked him, something really in itself. All of the police had good word to say about Albert Wilton, not only in death, but before that. He was of the kind who commanded respect, not by the fact he held a higher rank than some others, but be- cause of the way and manner of his conversation and action to- ward his fellow workers.
 Police die. and so do f1remen; others also die and must die.
 All of which seems strange to many of us because of our many meetings with these men of the uniform from day to day.

Max Paula, 46, 54 Burton street, was fined $100 and costs on charges of drunken driving after a trial be- fore Judge Charles R. Summa in city court this morning. The case was appealed to the court of con- mon pleas under $500 bonds.

 Paula admitted having had two glasses of beer, but denied being in toxicated, and said 8 car passing him too closely had caused the acci- dent. Atty. George Lynch traced Paulas movements immediately be- fore the accident, and clamied they proved he was not intoxicated.

 "Never leave unattended WheE first lighted.

 The last warning is most import ant from the life safety standpoint, the board emphasized, as numerous fatal fires have resulted from per- sons tripping or falling while carry ing lighted heaters.
