Proof that the mechanical age Is rapidly dissipating the possibilities of restoring some of the more ab. stract job.holding phases of the WPA or of political administrations, is apparent in the requested io46 budget appropriation of the clty's water department seeking e660 for purchase of c "leAk detector and pipe locator"
 Just what is c leak detector and pipe locator, or whether they are one and the same, was not deter. mined ct press time today. Water department officials, who could not be contacted this morning were said to be "out in the fleld," which pos- sibly implies their Search-Inanual- ly. for the time being - for leaks, or even c pipe.
 Referring the matter to the Dem- ocrat science editor did little tc identify such c contraption as 1t wal learned that 1t is still standard practice to light a match to deter. mine Q leak, and to turn on the faucet to find q pipe.
 Perhaps, something to do witt returning to his Steaming naskS phialS and bunsen burners.

Conodo-U. s, 
 Is Needed

Boston, Oct, 16-(UPl-Malcolm Macdonald, high commissioner for the United Kingdom In Can0da, said today that understanding and coop- eration between the United States and Great Britain are essential to Insure world peace.
 Macdonald told the Boston Con. ference on Distribution that the Democratic principles which arc the fundamental tents of American and British political faiths, must apply not only in national but also in international affairs.
 However, he said that Russia, China "and In due course, France must also be partners with us at the highest level" The interest and opinions of many smaller powers must be expressed and needed la tho shaping of world policy, he said.
 Macdonald said that there are many differences of character and temperament between the British and Americans and certain prejus diceS on both sides which may stand in the way of wholehearted cooperation between them when the desperate peril of battle Is passed and unity between them may appear less essential"
 It is of the highest interest of both countries, he said, that every removable cause of friction should be eliminated.
 Mcdonald said that the most serious apprehension that some Americans feel about the British is England's imperialism. Americans arc afraid that we deliberately limit the freedom of independent colonial peoples and that we exploit them for our own selfish purposes. He said such fears were groundless.
 Ernest L. Olrich, head of the Con- sumer Commodity Disposal division of the U. s. Treasury department, said that surplus war properties will be disposed of in such a way as to avoid 0 serious dislocAtion of the nations domestic economy.
 With this objective in mind," he said,, i've must strive to make our offerings in the right amounts at the right time to the right markets and at the right price,"
 Olrich criticized the surplus prop erty act of le44 as contradictory" and described 1t as mot the best means" to restore civilian industry and employment at the earliest op- porunity.
 He said that the act, unless amended, may interfere seriously with the disposal of surplus prop. erty for the maximum benefit oi the nation as e whole.
