"a large amount. Of criticism
against the health conditions has
been attributed to installations and
upkeep, of plumbing and heating

condition in any community.

The 34th annual convention was

Davis of Wilmington, who pointed
out that the lifting of building re-
strictions after victory will not only
unleash the greatest pent-up de-
mand for new homes America has
ever known but will also ushed in
gigantic modernization program.
Home modernization will be
among the most pressing needs of
America in the first postwar year
and should be major factor in
easing the country's transition
from war to peace economy, Davis
explained.
The plumbing industry can turn
to home repair and modernization
work Immediately after limitations
on critical materials have been lift
ed, Davis stated, as modernization
work can be undertaken more
quickly than new construction.

Radiant heating utilizes an en-
tirely new principle of providing
comfort Hawk said. Instead Of
warming the air in a home, the
new system circulates hot water
through wrought iron pipe coils To-
Gated in concrete floors or posi-
toned beneath conventional wood
floors. The floors heat is then
radiated to all other room surfaces,
and the result is a gentle, spring
like warmth very different from
the baked air provided by other
systems"
In some of the existing installa-
TONS, Hawk explained, the coils

than in the floor. The differential
in air temperature at various lev
els in a room is never more than
two or three degrees.

Administration Neglected
Veterans, Afherion Says
BY the Associa ted Press.


NEW YORK, Oct. 13-Warren H.
Atherton, chairman of the War Vet
erans' Division of the Republican
National Committee, last night at
tributed what he termed tragic ne
glect" Of war veterans othe Roose-
velt administration and said he be-
lieved the election of Gov. Dewey
would insure adequate assistance
to the dependents Of the war dead
and to the war disabled"
Asserting that President Roose-
velt had vetoed numerous bills pro-
viding aid to veterans, Mr.. Atherton,
Ia former national commander Of the
American Legion, said in radio
speech:
isn't 1t strange that President
Roosevelt enthusiastically indorsed
billions for leaf raking, leftist drama,
art, ballet dancing and haywire or
chestras, but not one cent for men
who fought for their country"
Mr.. Atherton said the soldiers and
sailors he had recently visited from
Africa to the South Pacific "em-
phatically demanded q just and last
ing peace to follow victory, an Amer
ican Government that exists to
serve the people, adequate assist
ance to the dependents of the war
dead and to their comrades disabled
in service, and business opportuni-
ties and real jobs for the soldiers

President Plans 10 Look
Into Law in Petriio Case
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt said today he
would like to do something about
the refusal of James C.. Petrillos
American Federation Of Musicians
(AFD to make recordings for two
major companies, but added that
he would have to look into the law
first
Mr.. Roosevelt told a news confer
ence he is going into the matter
in the next few days.
A week ago the President wired
Mr.. Petrillo asking him to lift the
ban, but the AIM chief refused to
do SO unless RAC-Victor and Colum-
bia would sign contracts with his
union as he said others had done.
The President said it is a great
question whether he can legally
force Mr.. Petrillo to remove his re-
strictions on record-making.
In his telegram last week, Mr..
Roosevelt said he had been advised
that punitive measures could not
be taken against union leaders be-
cause the record-making ban could
not be classed as interfering with
the war effort.

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 13.-The body
Of Georgette Bauerdorf, 20-year -old
daughter Of q retired oil executive,
was found, face down, in q filled
bathtub In her apartment yesterday.
The body, clad In the upper half
Of pajamas and apparently dead
several hours, was discovered after
Mrs. Fred Atwood, wife of the apart
ment house manager, investigated
an open door to the apartment.
About half an inch Of what ap-
peared to be q piece Of wash cloth
or towel dangled from Miss Bauer
DORIS mouth, Sheriff's Inspector
William Penprase said. The cloth
was left undisturbed pending post
mortem examination today.
Mr.. Penprase said her death prob
ably resulted from an accident, but
that the cloth in her mouth and the
absence of her car from its garage
warranted further inquiry.
A large quantity of jewelry was
found undisturbed, and there was no
evidence OF ia robbery. Mr.. Pen
praSe found among her effects a
round-trip airline ticket to Ell Paso,
Tex, indicating she had planned to
leave today and return next Wednes-
day. A notation in her diary said
she had planned to attend the grad
uation there Monday Of someone
identified only as Lou"
There were no marks on her body.
Bloodstains on the tub, Mr.. Penprase
said, probably were from her nose
or mouth, which she may have in
jured in a fall.
She was the daughter Of George
Bauerdorf, former New York oil ex-
ecutive, who with Mrs. Bauerdorf,
the girls stepmother, was in New
York on a vacation.
Mr.. Bauerdorf, reached at the
Park Lane Hotel in New York, said
he believed his daughters death
was accidental" although he had
not learned the results OF an au-
topsy.
I'VE do know that she suffered
from cramps and heart aches and
refused to go to a doctor" he added,
"and we think perhaps they might
have caused It,"
Mr.. Bauerdorf identified the
Lou" mentioned in the girls diary
as an air cadet whom she had dated.
He said he planned to return to Los
Angeles.
Miss Bauerdorf lived in New
York and attended st. Agatha's
School there before moving to the
West with her family after the
death of her mother several years
ago.

Dr.. Ramon Castillo,
Former President Of
Argentina, Dies
D. tie Assoeiated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 13.-Dr.
Ramon 8. Castillo, former President
Of Argentina, died last night.
DR.. Castillo was ousted from the
by the military coupe on
June 5, 1913.
He underwent two operations q
little more than year ago and after
. long period Of convalescence re-
turned to his Buenos Aires home,
where he had been living quietly
!, DR.. Castillo, who championed neu-
trality for Argentina in this war,
was elevated to the presidency June
AZ, 1912, when the Senate accepted
the resignation OF the near-biind
Roberto M. Ortiz, but actually he
had ruled the country, as Vice Pres
ident, since July 5, 1910, when Ortiz
took leave OF absence In a vain effort
to recover his health.
Hope Abandoned Wednesday.
DR.. Castillo's condition had taken
turn for the worse in the last
month and late Wednesday doctors
abandoned hope Of keeping him
alive. He remained In coma dur
ing most of his final hours. Last
rites were administered yesterday
morning.
The son of a poor provincial fam
lily, DR.. Castillo became Argentina 8
chief executive in period of world
crisis by chance. He had been elect
ed vice president on a coalition
ticket with Ortiz although the views
Of the two men on international
affairs were at variance.
After his assumption of the presi-
dency. DR.. Castillo imposed the pol
icy of prudent neutrality" but
tressed by a state OF siege which was
destined steadily to ALLEVIATE Argen-
tina from her sister republics OF
the Western Hemisphere.
Was Isolationist.
He committed Argentina to pol
icy of isolation in telephone call
to his foreign minister, Ruiz Gui-
nazu, which marked the turning
point Of the Rio de Janeiro confer
ence of 1912 after Pearl Harbor.
AS a consequence of that call Ruiz
Guinau was obliged to tell the con-
ference that he was unable to ac-
cept binding resolution for a rup-
ture of relations to which he pre-
viously had agreed in principle.
That decision proved contribut-
ing factor in DR.. Castillos event.
ual downfall Argentina's exclu-
sion from lease-lend as the conse-
quence of DR.. Castillo's neutrality
troubled army leaders.
Discomfort reached a climax when
it became apparent that DR.. Cas-
tillo intended to establish as his sue
cessor in the presidency the arch
conservative Robustiano Patron
Costas in order to assure perpetua-
ton of his policies.
Revolution Breaks Out.
A revolution broke out on the
eve of the party convention at
which Patron Costas was to have
been nominated.
DR.. Castillo fled with members OF
his cabinet aboard the mine-layel

about in the River Plate for a day
and night he finally was persuaded
that he could count on no support
