MILITARY ARMS . TO BE SALVAGED
Scrap Sales to Be Per- mitted Under War Pro.
 ductiOn Board

Plans of Connecticut manufactur- CTS to salvage defective or damaged parts of military arms are affected by an amendment to Limitation Order L-230 to permit sales of such scrapped ma terial to scrap dealers, the War Production Board an- nounced today through the Connec- ticut News Bureau, Office of War Information. Sales of military fire arms which are discarded as unfit agencies, have been prohibited pre- viously.
 Under the new ruling parts which are discarded in the course of manufacturing operations or for other causes may be readily dis posed of as scrap. Manufacturers who dispose of any parts of military arms which are dis carded as unfit for use are required to file monthly reports with the War Production Board, giving the names and ad- dresses of scrap dealers to whom the discarded material is sold or de- livered. A detailed description of parts sold as scrap is not required, however, except upon instructions from the War Production Board.

POST RULING ON
 FIREARMS SALES

The Defense Supplies Corporation, 8 government agency, was granted authority by the Of1ce of Price Ad- ministration recently to charge re- tail prices for new firearms sold to local defense plants, police units, and others requiring smallarms. Many of these users of firearms are customarily given a wholesale price, but the change was made to pre- vent a substantial loss to the corp oration because of the varying costs of these items to the Defense Sup plies Corporation and the expenses incurred by it.
 The prices authorized are those set forth in manufacturers list prices in effect Jan. 10, 1942 as prices suggested for sales by retail CTS.

New York, Jan. 7.-Requirements which would provide Q uniform standard of safety against fire in places of public assembly are con- tained in O. completed model @Cab- aret Ordinance" which was an- nounced today by W E. Mallalieu, general manager of the National Board of Fire Underwriters.
 "Our engineers have been work ing on this suggested ordinance ale most continuously since the Cocoa. nut Grove tragedy in Boston," MT. Mallalieu said. '@rhey have con ferred with other engineers and fire prevention experts, with public of ficials and representatives of hotels, restaurants and night clubs so that the ordinance might include all of the practical safeguards to life. We believe enactment of this ordinance by municipalities will go far to minimize the probability of disas- trous fires in various places where groups of people assemble. It must be remembered. however, that no ordinance is of value unless 1t Is diligently enforced"
 Place of Assembly
 The suggested safeguards are is- sued under the title of "An Ordi- nance Providing for Safety to Life in Places of Assembly" A "place of assembly" is defined as "a room or space in which provision is made for the seating of 100 or more per- sons for religious, recreational, edu- cational, political. social or amuse- naent purposes, or for the consump- tion of food or drink" Permits for operation of such places would be is- sued only after provisions of the or dinance have been complied with.
 The proposed ordinance requires that all combustible and decorative material, including curtains, acous- tical materials, Streamers, cloth, vines, leaves and trees, be rendered flameproof. Unless certified by Un- derwriters' Laboratories, or other laboratories of recognized standing, as being of permanent nature, the ordinance requires that such flame- proofing be tested by the fire de- partment each six months and the treatment renewed if necessary.
 Chairs and tables are required to be arranged so as to provide ready access to unobstructed aisles, at least three feet wide, which lead to doorways.
 Places with a capacity of 100 or more persons must have at least two exit doorways in order to meet requirements of the ordinance. The exit doorways shall be so located that no point in the room is more than 100 feet from them by the line of travel.
 Two Exit Ways
 Every room or other space hay ing capacity of 200 persons shall have at least two "exit ways" which are defined as consisting of door, ways and connecting enclosed stair ways, railways or other passage ways which provide safe access to the street. Three exit ways are re-

 WIDE IS THE GATE-(viking: $3)-Upton Sinclair continues his saga of the remarkable Lanny Budd and his friends and family in the turmoil that was Europe from 1884 to 1886. The son of the American munitions million aire gets involved in anti-Hitler plots in Germany, as the Nazi re- gime sweeps into power, and finds excitement and adventure in the Spanish war.
 In four large novels, Sinclair has traced the course of world af- fairs and kept the accounting interesting by paralleling fact with the fiction of the Budds- their loves, troubles, successes and failures.
 Sinclair's philosophies and the ories are included in this sugar. coated capsule, and the whole is surprisingly pleasant to take. Ger tainly his work, when finished, will rank with Remains as out standing achievements in the nov elist's field.

There's So Much Good
In the Worst of Us

Once when I came running into
the house complaining about jim
mie, playmate, Mother produced
an old pair of scales and my set
of blocks. 'Now We'll play a little
game" she said. "First, we will
place a block on this side of the
scales to represent each of jim
mics faults. Now tell me them"
I named them and blocks were
piled in the tray.
"Tell me something good about
him." said Mother. Doesn't he
let you ride his bicycle? And share
his candy with your"
eyes," I admitted reluctantly.
Blocks were placed on the other
side to show his good points. l
started laughing as Jimmie's good
qualities overbalanced his faults.
Through all the years have never
forgotten that little weighing Incl
dent. Before criticizing person,
I always compare his good points
with his bad.

The general belief that anesthetics
were unknown until modern scien-
lists discovered them has been
changed by the finding of a note
book in the Vatican library, written
by an ancient Arabian surgeon, who
describes the treatment of many dis
eases, and says that patients should
be put to sleep before any kind of
painful operation. He does not de-
scribe the kind of anesthetic used,
but his reference to putting the pa
tent to sleep is SO casual as to in
dictate that it was common at that
time. The document is believed to
have been written about 1000 A. D.
Sir Humphrey Davy discovered
laughing gas in 1900, but it was not
used for operations until about 1874.

Colonel Harding gave the group
final instructions. A West Pointer
from West Virginia, he has ice-blue
eyes, quiet manner and fistful Of
medals. The latest of these is a sill
yer star for gallantry and achieve
nlent in leading bombing raids over
enemy territory.
"Don't let the boys tell you they
aren't scared on raids" Colonel
Harding told me. Nobody could be
such fool as not to be frightened
when fax and fighters come at him.
I've been scared plenty"
was assured by the boys that
Harding's briefng technique was
okay. One thing the boys can't
stand, they told me, was what they
called drip" They know what they
are fighting for. What they want to
be told is why the target is so i'm
portant, SO that if they get hurt they
can feel it's worth it.
Maj. John Kidd of Cleveland led
the group off the field. Three squad
ron leaders seconded him. Sweat
ing it OUT is the air forces inele-
gantly accurate phrase for the bust
ness of waiting for the planes to
return from a raid. The waiting is
undramatic but very wearing.
Happy to Be Alive
Outwardly all went on as before
after the bombers roared down the
runway at the base. Another mis-
sion went out and returned. It was
a milk run over Holland. Another
was briefed but cancelled. After
many long hours, the Fortresses
came back. The CLEAN of majors
oak leaf on a red fez perched at a
rakish angle over grinning Irish
face was the herald. The wearer
of the fez was Major Egan; his
simple heartfelt greeting was: I'm
very happy to be alive"
Then from all mouths tumbled out
stories of the man-made hell they
had been through, beginning hours
before the target was reached. All
agreed that nothing like it in size,
venom and duration was ever before
experienced i'm aerial warfare. All
around were fighters, Forts blowing
up in flame, and the thunder of guns
without end. The Nazis arched
strings of binding new rocket shells.
The Fortresses battled German
fighters for 21A hours-the longest
engagement in the history of heavy
bombings-but they had gone over
their target and got away.
A measure of the raid was the vol
utility of the crews who made it.
Their talk lasted through their days
of rest and was still going strong
when left the base. Crews are en-
couraged to talk, of course, not only
to help get it out Of their systems
but to keep intelligence officers fully
informed. What they say might help
greatly in planning the next encoun-
ter with the Nazis.

Special Slack Suit
Destined for Nurses

A tailored two-piece slack suit OF
brown and white striped seersucker
for army nurses on duty in hospital
ships, hospital trains in the United
States and in the warmer climates
overseas has been designed by the
Quartermaster corps.
Experience has demonstrated that
slacks are more serviceable on
ships, trains and in many of the
theaters of operations than the ira.
ditional uniform skirt or dress. They
permit greater freedom Of move
ment and give protection from in
sects.
The new slack uniform consists of
a tailored shirt with long sleeves,
convertible collar that can be worn
either buttoned or open, and pleated
yoke permitting freedom of shoulder
action. The Stacks also are tailored,
with one side pocket and a slide
fastener. The material is the same
used now in the overseas hospital
service uniform and is durable, cas-
lily Numbered and requires no IRON
ing.
