A EGGS BEST
 SUNNY SIDE UP

Grade A eggs are best for eating sunny side up, or as three-minute eggs cooked in the shell, but to make f1apjacks, cakes, or holiday buildings, consumers find the most flavor and food value for their money in Grade B eggs, according to Fitch L. Bren- nan, district representative of the Office of Distribution, War Food Ad- ministration,
 Housewives today have been buy ing the top quality eggs as rapidly as they come to market, he points out, and have been using these grades for all uses. They have the best flavor for eating as eggs, but for mixed dishes the medium priced eggs are equally as good, and much easier on the pocketbook.
 Consumers who are wise to living costs use one grade for apples for the bowl placed on the center of the table, and lower grade for mak- ing apple sauce or pie. Tn the cook ed dish the lower priced product tastes just as good. It is the same way with eggs, provided they are graded to a weN-knoWn standard, as Grade A, Grade B, or Grade c.
 Whatever the original grade of the eggs, they should be kept re- frigerated at all times, in both the store and the home. At ordinary room temperatures, the quality of eggs declines rapidly.

France Seals Spanish Border Against Forces Plotting Anti-Franco Battle
Report 100000 Loyalists Set To Start Fight

In view of this record of aid to France, it's not surprising to find many French units in south ern France sympathetic to these anti Franco Spanish. On the other hand, the FFI has enough internal troubles of it's own without getting involved in international problems on the border.
 The EFT therefore made two moves this fall to pervent over eager National Union Sympathizers from crossing the border into Spain. The fact that these moves were not a hundred per cent successful and that some inf1ltration was made irl- to Spain on a minor scale is not an indictment of the FFI on this score.
 In the first place, the FIT es- tablished 25-mile no mans land behind the Spanish frontier. The FIT headquarters in Toulouse ruled that no Spanish FFI units might be stationed forward of this zone and none might be allowed through it.
 Secondly, Toulouse has estab- lished entirely French border pa- trols and system of sentry posts every few kilometers along roads leading to the frontier. Driving to the border I was stopped at least a dozen times in the last 25 miles and asked for my pass.
 If and when the Spanish under ground nd-whether through the Dem- ocratic Alliance or the National Union-makes its bid to oust Fran co, it would be surprising if many French members of the EFT did not volunteer to fight with it. At such a time, it seems unlikely that French members of the EFT will be much impressed by lofty ver- biage about international law. They already are convinced from hun dreds of indications that Franco is enlisting Germans in his armies, preparing for the fight which seems inevitable.

 nlent on Trade Names

Use by w. Douglas MacDermid of Plymouth of trade names allegedly similar to those used on chemical products manufactured by the Mac- Dermid, Inc, of Waterbury is the basis of $25, ,000 civil action filed in superior court today by the local firm.
 The complaint states the defend- ant, who had been employed by the Waterbury concern for 20 years, set up his own plant in Plymouth last year and started to manufacture metal finishing compounds, giving them names similar to those used and widely advertised by the Mac DeTnid, Inc.
 Compounds produced by the local company are called '.Anodex," "Du- rodex", and "Metex," and the de- fendant started to use the names, "Ferrodex," and t,Kentex," it is pointed out in the court writ.
 It is claimed the defendant like wise used the name '.MacDernid" in securing purchasers, and it is al- legged he used the names with the intention of deceiving and confus- ing the plaintiffs customers, the the metal finishing industry. and the purchasing public. It is claimed the good will of the plaintiff has been damaged.
 In addition to an award of dam- ages the concern asks for a perm anent injunction restraining the defendant from using the names, MacDermid,' ''Ferrodex" and ''Kentex," or any variation of them, and from advertising and making statements in such a way as to de- ceive or confuse anyone.

Gas Caused Explosion
By ROBERT L. FREY


 Limited Press Staff Correspondent Burton on Trent, England, Nov 29.-(UP)-Gas created by water seepage was believed today to have touched off the explosion of one of the biggest underground ammunition dumps in Britain which blasted a crater 500 yards in diameter and 300 yards deep.
 Unofficial estimates of the dead ranged up to 300. The devastation was widespread and thorough.
 Rescue crews wearing oxygen masks against the cordite fumes worked laboriously toward trapped victims perhaps killed by the blast the gases or the drainage of wrecked reservoirs under thousands of tons of earth 100 feet or more below the surface.
 The steeple of an old church in a nearby town was knocked of by the blast. Spigots were pulled out oi beer barrels at the Cock Inn. Vast areas of the earthen ceiling above the dump collapsed.
 Shell fragments spewed about the countryside in such profusion that plane flying overhead at 10000 feet swerved sharply from it's course as pieces of two-tor bombs flew by.
 The explosion shook the country side like an earthquake within a radius of six miles. Water mains were broken in village mile from the scene. Thirty -one persons were killed at a cement plant half a mile from the scene.
 A military cordon was throwr around the crater, while about 15C rescue workers including American troops burrowed into the debris.

Strikes Continue In Brussels

Brussels, November 29. = (UP) = Protest strikes against the govern ment of Premier Hubert Pierlot paralyzed Street car service in Brussels today and spread into the postal and telephone systems and a number of iron boundaries and fac tories around the capital.
 An Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Brussels said guards had been doubled around government build- ings and scores" of police were sta- tioned at strategic street corners)
 Fewer than 40 street cars came out of the barns this morning and the transportation strike was far more effective than it was in the first phase yesterday.
 Government officials appeared to have drawn confidence from Pier lots strong stand in parliament yesterday when he announced a ban on meetings likely to result in public disorder after he had been granted emergency powers.
 The situation was relatively quiet, and police reported there had been no incidents this morning.

RETAILERS REPORT
 SALES INCREASED
Waterbury Shows 3% Inl= prOyement During OctO-
 Der Survey Indicates

Sales of independent retailers in Connecticut were almost the same for October 1914 as for October 1943 but were per cent higher for Oc- tober than for September this year, according to an announcement re- leased today by J. c. Capt, Director of the Census. Cumulative sales for the first 10 months of 1944 were vir- tually the same as sales for the com- parable period of 1943. These data are based upon reports from 458 stores representing most kinds of business except department stores. Sales of department stores were practically the same in October 1924 as in October 1943 but were IA per cent higher in October than in Sep- tember 1944. For the year to date department store sales were almost the same level as for the like 10 month period of 1943.
 Among the nondurable goods trades in this State survey, filling stations and fuel and ice dealers noted substantial sales gains-21 per cent and 19 per cent, respectively, for October 1944 vs October 194S. Drug stores and mems clothing and furnishings stores each reported in- creases of 6 per cent. Eating and drinking places showed a small @ per cent) rise in dollar volume; al- most no change occurred for gen. eral stores, shoe stores and food stores: small @ per cenD decrease was revealed for dry goods and gen. eral merchandise stores; and de- creases of 4 and 5 per cent were noted by women'S ready-to-wear stores and liquor stores, respective ly. Although hardware stores re- ported sales volume almost equal to that of October 8 year ago, other durable goods trades dropped back: jewelry stores, per cent; furniture stores, Il per cent; lumber building materials dealers, 12 per cent; and motor-vehicle dealers, 13 per cent.
 Reports from independent retailers in New Haven revealed an percent increase in sales from October 1944 over Octboer 1943. A small 6 per- cenD increase was reported for Wa terbury; while Bridgeport and Hart ford noted almost no change, and New Britain dropped 10 percent. Places of less than 2,500 population showed virtually no change in sales; cities of 25, 5000 to 50,000 population decreased slightly @ percent); and cities of 2,500 to 25,000 population dropped back percent.
 Sales are shown as reported, with out adjustments for seasonal or price fluctuations. The sample of stores upon which this report is based has been selected to in-4 ate sales trends for the State. However, because of the interest in Lore detailed in- formation, this report also includes trends by kinds of business and by city-size groups. These detailed fig ures should be used with care, and the number of stores reporting should be taken into account in each instance. Dollar volumes are shown only to indicate tie coverage of the sample and are not the totals for the areas or groups mentioned.

HURLEY HEARING
 DELAYED TODAY
Members of Congressional Committee at Funeral of
 Sen. Chandler

Postponement of the investigation by the senate military committee of the nomination of Robert A. Hurley (Conn.) and It. Col. Edward Heller as chairman and member reSpec- lively of the War Property Surplus board has been necessitated by the attendance at a funeral of Sen. Chandler (D-Ky.) member of the senate hearing board.
 Hurley former governor of Con- necticut and recent unsuccessful candidate for reelection has been named chairman by President Roosevelt of a board which will have the administration of $10C billion in government property, for disposal.
 It seemed likely at this writing that MT. Hurley's appointment would be sanctioned particularly because of his indorsement by Sen Francis T. Maloney D-Conn.). Op- position shows to date by commit tee members stemmed from Repub- lican members.
 Of interest to Connecticut citizens is the fact that Sen. Maloney pre- sented sharp opposition to the orig inal gubernatorial nomination oi Hurley at the state Democratic con vention last July. He and J. Francis Smith this city supported the op- position candidacy of Atty. Leo Gaffney, New Britain.
 It has been reported that some sort of compromise has been effect ed politically within state ranks in an attempt to reclaim some unity in preparation for a forthcoming term which will see, here in Con- necticut, Republican dominated House and a Democratic Senate, in addition to Democratic state ticket with the exception of Governor Ray mond E. Baldwin, Republican.
 The state Democratic ranks have been openly divided since the nom- mating convention with the Hurley forces retaining the upper-hand since. Senator Maloney has been a member of the minor forces Although Hurley was the only one to lose out on the state ticket last cleo tion, his recent appointment is said to be indicative of the prestige he he holds with major national party forces.
 The next hearing by the Senate Committee will be held Friday.

 The Democratic Alliance opposes this policy as likely to lead to a premature, badly prepared blow against Franco which would be both costly and unsuccessful. For the moment, at least, the National Union is the more important of these groups for the very reason that it does want immediate ac- ton.
 The National Union has clam destine headquarters inside Spain. Toulouse in southern France is to this half of the Spanish under ground what London and Algiers were to the French Resistance. Its goal is the overthrow of Franco

By TOM WOLF NEA Stan Correspondent

French h-Andorran Frontier, Nov. D4-No more aid from France is going to reach the anti Franco un- derground in Spain for the next Jew months.
 To be able to say this categori- cally it is only necessary to stand here high in the Pyrenees and look at the snow on the mountain peaks. The passes through which no roads wind are already under snow far too deep and rocky for crossing even were there snowshoeS and eleds available.
 As for crossing the border by road, cars were starting to get stuck on the higher ridges two weeks ago. Now it's showing al- most every day. Horse-drawn blows cannot keep these mountain roads open. There is insufficient gas available this year for rotary blows.
 Winter has already sealed this border.
 This of course, provides no permanent solution to the spanish question. There are in southern France today about 100000 refugees left of the 500,000 who fled across the border at the end of the Span- ist- Civil War.
 TWO MAIN GROUPS
 These anti-Franco Spaniards are organized into, two main groups: the Democratic Alliance and the National Spanish Union. The Demo- cratic Alliance believes generally that Franco cannot be overthrown without powerful help in heavy arms and equipment from outside powers. The National Spanish Union, which includes many Com- munists and the more left wing refugees, tends to favor infiltration and immediate action-simply with

 war is simply an extension of the war between fascism and delnoc- racy, which started in Spain. We who believe in democracy will do everything in our power to rid Spain of Franco and his fascisn." UNITS STILL FIGHT
 There is little. doubt that when the times comes in the vanguard of this anti-Franco army there will be a large part of the 12,000 to 14,o00 Spanish refugees who fought with the FFI in the Maquis in France. Some of these Spanish units are still fighting as integral parts of the FIT. Their record in the Maquis and after is one of bravery and usefulness. Some French cities were liberated by entirely Spanish units of the FFI.
