Shortage Of Paint
 Supplies Reported
Annual Spring Cleanup May Be Curtaed By Lack of
 Vital Necessities; "ShOp First" Advice Given

has been found, but paints made from this substitute have not proved to be as satisfactory as prewat products
 Flaxseed oil, once obtained in huge quantities from Argentina, is also scarce due to the strained political relations existing between that country and the United States.
 Housewives who have been plan- ming to completely redecorate this spring will also be disappointed to hear those glossy paints will be diffl- cult to find since the War Produc- tion board recently placed restric- tive orders on the use of rosin, which is an integral ingredient in all paints for interior uses.
 However, one bright ray looms through the glum picture. Water thinned paints for interior use, which dry in an hour, will be abun- dant It is also expected a new paint of this type with glossy f1n- ish will reach the spring market.
 Dealers shelves are well stocked with varnishes, but the better qual- ities, made from gums produced in the Dutch Indies, are not available.

Householders who are anticipat- ing getting out In the warm spring sunshine with a paint brush in hand would be wise to shop early. since paint supplies are at the lowest ebb on record in local paint stores
 Tn fact, Waterbury dealers ape pear to be luckier than those in other parts of the nation, since a large mail order house, which also happens to be one of the country's largest paint manufacturers, has just notified it's patrons 1t has no outside paints in stock.
 Spring painters are also warned against planning to cover those dirty streaked surfaces, of the old home- stead with a luscious coating of green or yellow, since these colors are noticeably among the missing in current stocks which average about 30 to 70 per cent that of the pre- war supply.
 Drastic curtailment of raw mate rials used in paint manufacture which are now being diverted into urgent war channels, is causing paint dealers the worst headache they've ever known.
 White lead. always the mainstay of the paint industry, has been re- duced for paint manufacture to 12 1-2 per cent of last years supply. And before civilians can get their share of the limited product, all priorities for essential industrial uses must be met. which leaves just about a few dozen cans of paint for every thousand homeowners.
 Linseed oil, another major ingre- dient of first quality paint, has practically disappeared.
 Americas abundant supply is now being sent to Russia where the Reds, through a newly discovered process, are making 1t into a margarine. It is reported the substitute butter is quite delicious, but 1t is not ex- pected it would find favor here, since when heated. as for frying uses, 1t emits an unpleasant odor.

Stossen Maps Peace Points

Minneapolis, Mlnn., March B. (UP)-Commander Harold E. Stas- sen, a delegate to the United Na- tions conference at San Francisco April 25, declared last night that America should "use it's enormous productive capacity, capital and credit to contribute to higher world living standards.
 StaSsen outlined seven Cardinal points for an enduring peace fin an address before the Minnesota United Nations committee. The points were:
 1 A lasting organization of the United Nations, based on justice and law and insured byb force.
 ?. The delegation of a limited portion of each nations sovereignty to the United Nations.
 3. The linking of America's fu- ture with that of the world.
 4 Use of AmericaB enormous productive capacity, capital, and credit to contribute to higher world living standards.
 5. Insurance of freedom of speech and free channels ot infor- nation including press, radio and school.
 g. The stripping from aggressors of their means to wage war.
 2. Freedom of each nation to determine its own political form Of government.
 "One of the most striking facts which has been demonstrated in this war is the enormous produc- tive capacity of America" the for- mer Minnesota governor said in his first public address since entering the navy two years ago.
 Tt has been a huge power for destruction and for victory. It can be an equally great power for world construction and progress.
 He pointed out that vast sums of charitable assistance would be needed in the immediate postwar period, but, he added, This does not mean a Santa Claus role. Most of the peoples of the world do not want charity beyond the var en- ergency conditions. They want to be self-reliant."
 Stassen describing the forthcom- ing San Francisco conference as "a golden opportunity to win a beach, head in the battle for a just and lasting peace."

 A. Family Allowance is paid to the parent of a soldier when the fact of dependency is established and consent of the soldier obtained. The fact of his marriage would not discontinue your payments. If you have had change in circumstances causing increase in your income, this may have caused discontinu- ance. Or it may be discontinued at request of the soldier. It is suggest ed that you write to Office Of De- pendency Benefits, Newark 2, N.

New York, March 8-(UP)-A pair of Oklahomans were pretty peeved today about native son who joined the Army, became a captain, came to New York and made the barefaced statement that a rabbit runs faster uphill than doWnhill.
 Both OkWlahomans knew Capt. Raymond E. Powers, of the Army News Service (News Feature Serv- ice department when he carried a stuffed rabbit to his crib at 6:30 D. m. nightly.
 One was his father, James J. Powers, head of the Enid, Okla, draft board, and the other was John c. Water, an Enid merchant. In a tersely Worded telegram, they reminded him that where he came from a rabbit doesn't run up or down hills but jumps over them.
 Chastised, Powers looked else where for help in the quandary he made for himself when he okayed quiz program for distribution to soldiers overseas. The quiz stated hatly that rabbits go uphill faster because their hind legs are longer.
 Help-and otherwise-came from all over the nation. Every Tom, Dick and Hare clipped in with a fur bearing opinion on the coaSt-to- coast controversy.
 In Washington pr. Remington Kellogg, curator of Smithsonian Institutes Division of Mammals, admitted that eastern rabbits may know tricks western rabbits don L. But" he said, I've watched rabbits all over the plains of the west My recollection is that he sort of skidS when he goes down a steep slope. I say they go faster upni"a"
 William Mann, of the National Geological park in Washington, said Rabbits might slip and stumble doWnhill but they'd still go faster. It's my opinion it would take some time in the field to establish the answer scientifically"
 Kellogg recommended Robert T.. Halt of Cranbrook institute, Bloom- field Hills, Mich, as top authority. Halt pulled this out of the hat:
 "Theres no way of telling except by logic" That's what he said.
 Of all rabbit experts, the least rabbit hearted about his views was Leo K. Couch, assistant chief ot research for the U. s. Fish and Wild Life Service in Chicago.
 There shouldn't be any contro- yersy at all, Couch said flatly, be- cause a rabbit won't run doWnhill. He said he was veteran of hun dreds of rabbit drives in hilly sec tions of the west. If the bunny herders built corrals at the bottom of the hill and drove down, the hap- bits slipped the trap, he said.
 Then we built our corrals on top of the hills" he said. That caught rabbits and gave Couch's tWo-cents worth an authoritative ring.
 By the way, Couch said, cotton- tail Ordinary rabbit will run any old direction when chased. Why? Who knows, he said, dismissing the hare-brain question.
 Finally, Charles Augustus (Gus) Mager, of South Orange, N. J., was called in. Mager is 66, began hunt ing rabbits when he was 13. He was "holed up with palette and brush. painting outdoor scenes.
 Boy" he said, take it from me,

his wife before he went. He was killed a short time later and have received his insurance payments for the past two months, but never re- ceived the six months pay that IS made when a soldier is killed. Where should l write about that?
 B. M., Cambridge.
 A. Even though the soldier may not have had opportunity to desig- nate his wife as beneficiary for his benefits, the six months grauity pay would go to her. If the soldier leaves lawful widow she is entitled to this payment regardless of whom he may have designated as bene- ficiary for 1t.
