stock for sale at rates in excess or
the ceiling limit. Complaints have
been received from local residents
by Frank j. Green, chairman Of
the local OPA price panel, and by
rationing headquarters.
Complaint to the price panel was
made by Frank Fontalo, local deal
er, who charged that rationing adj
visors have unknowingly directed
emergency cases to a black. market
dealer. 1t is customary for house
ohdlers, with little Or no oil 10 their
tanks, to consult local rationing
headquarters to discover what deal
ers have a supply on hand. Accord
ing to Fontano, officials have been
sending many inquirers to the black
market dealer and he has been col-
lecting prices above ceiling levels.
Joseph Lubinskas of 81 Alder
street substantiated Fontano's
claim, saying that a distributor told
him, "Y6u can get all the oil you
want for IL and half cents gall
Ion" Luhinskas said he would
rather do without heat than pay
prices above the oil selling, and he
was forced to move IN with neigh
bors when his tank went dry early
this week.

other complaints have been received
regarding the same matter.

SCHOOL s Fate
| KNOWN MONDAY
Board to Open Bids for
Razing Of Porter Street
Building

The fate of the old Porter street
school, controversial subject
among educators for many years,
may be decided Monday when the
board of education opens bids for
the razing of the building. Mem
bers Of the boards schoolhouse
committee, Commissioners Raymond
F. Stone, George McDuff and John
j. Kearney, will meet with City
Purchasing Agent Martin Sweeney
Monday morning at II o'clock at
Crosby High school to consider the
various offers. Many inquiries about
the project have been made and 1t
Is belieevd satisfactory contract
will be obtained.
For many years the status Of the
old school building was discussed by
the edudcation commissioners, but
definite action was constantly post
poned until several weeks ago. The
board at that time voted to raze
the building and have tho ground
leveled down SO the premises could
be used as a playground. Commits
sioner Kearney, one Of the foremost
advocates Of more Fairgrounds for
the citys childlcn, was instrument
tai in obtaining action for the pro-
ject.
The school was built IN 1889 and
an. addition Was made four. X years
later. At the completion Of. the
school year in 1896 the building was
closed by the school department
and has not been used as o school
house since then. For q period OF
about two years 1t was leased to the
government for an N. Y. A. protect,
and during summers 1t has served
as Q storage place for the play
grounds.
Approval OF the most favorable
bid received Monday will be sought
from the corporation counsel and
then 1t will be submitted to the
board of education for a vote at the
regular meeting Monday night.
Action by the board has been
awaited for many years by residents
of the section who have complained
about the appearance Of the closed
down building. 1t Is said to be in
poor condition and little likelihood
exists that another school building
will be needed in that school dis
trict.

Goering, Nazi No. 2, In the
glooniest speech ever deliv@

today commanded every

German insistence that Hits

He said Hitler alone could organ

Ter alone was fit to make decisions.
He explained tremendous RUS
sian victories by painting Russia
as a power which, unlike Nazi Gers
many, forced Its people to give all.
Germans, he said, would do the
same voluntarily for Hitler. v
Goering said Germany stood alone
to save the world from Bolsheyism.
He warned Sweden, Switzerland and
other neutrals and implicitly
the Allies, that Russia was mem
ace to the world.
Goering explained Hitler's deliber-
ate sacrifice of 100000 men OF the
German Sixth Army at Stalingrad
by saying they had to stay there to
permit the German line to be re-
organized" that they had died for
the world as well as for Germany
and that the Germans must fol- 4

He said, as Hitler had done 50
