New Haven County's l21,45l fam- flies can i'll an entire days medi- cinal needs of 47,794 battlefront cas- ualties if each home will save one tablespoon of waste kitchen fat, 1t was estimated today by the nations largest single collector of this vital war material.
 There are few direct ways a wife, mother or daughter can help safe- guard the life of loved one at the fighting front. and salvaging used fats is one of them" said T. A. Con- nors, head of the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Companyis national meat department. The value of the 9,l28,000 pounds salvaged throughout the nation last year is evident in the fact that single pound of fat will process about 260 quarts of life giving blood plasma." !"
 The increased tempo of the war has intensified the need for drugs, ointments and acids to ease pain and lessen mortality among our soldiers as well as for synthetic rubber, pro- tective coatingS and other vital war materials in which waste fats figure, Connors pointed out. Further. he said, the OPA has continued its of- fer of red ration points for each pound of grease turned in at stores
 The importance Of used fats in the manufacture of the implements of war and of thousands of prod ucts for the home front is widely recognized" he said. But little is known of the miracles being worked by military medicine with the aid of converted fats. New Haven County women, in making their contribution to this salvage drive, may take add

Decision was reserved by Judge Frank P. McEvoy on motions for dissolution of the corporation, for approval of the final account list ing a balance of $6,88O.56, and for payment of a final allowance to the receiver.
 References to the stockholders were brought into the hearing after Attorney Finkelstein asked for a reasonable allowance for his serv- ices, and the corporation counsel had backed his statements.
 Stockholders Losers
 Attorney J. Warren Upson, who represented the stockholders in the receivership proceedings, pointed out they had been tremendous losers" in the transaction and any amount remaining after the receiv- CT had been paid should revert to them.
 Attorney Healey stated that if the full balance is not paid to the re- ceiver for his services then the re- mainder of the funds should be turned over to the City of Wa terbury, which had compromised several tax debts with the receiver ship. The compromises were made not for the benefit of the stock holders but for the benefit of the city and the receivership, the cor poration counsel declared.
 The city attorney hinted strong ly. however, that Attorney Finkel- stein should be allowed the full balance. He pointed out the re- ceivership had paid the city $l85,- 900 in back taxes and thereby light ened the burden of the tax payers since the amount was applied as a surplus to the new budget.
 Attorney Healey stated, the city knows MT. Finkelstein has done all excellent job In my opinion, if Ee receives the balance he will not re- ceivc more than is adequate"
 Speaking of the late Mayor Vim cent A. Scully who preceded MT. Finkelstein as receiver the corpora tion counsel stated, Vincent Scul- ly's final expectations were not only realized by this receivership but were far surpassed" Judge McEvoy and Attorney Finkelstein in other portions of the hearing commended the late mayor for his efforts in behalf of the receivership.
 Raised The Roof"
 In arguing against payment of any sum to stockholders, the receiv- CT stated the stockholders raised the roof" to his appointment as receiver. Naming one particular stockholder the receiver commented he declared, He didn't pay the stockholders, or the taxes and he collected a fat salary"
 Attorney Finkelstein recalled a transaction in which one of the stockholders withdrew his invest ment two days after making it, with a resultant loss to the corporation, He said the transaction in court was called "a diversion of funds of the corporation but there was no legal path through which the cor poration could recover the sum.
 References also were made by the receiver to stock speculation by one of the largest stockholders, described as a resident of New Yolk.
 They come here in poor grace in asking for the small balance now on hand" the receiver declared.
 Earlier Attorney Finkelstein point ed out to a desire of the late Mayor Scully to dispose of the property of
