NO DARK SECRETS FOR OPA OFFICE
State Officials Want Light on Reported Lamp, Lamp=
 shade Black Market

With the hope of throwing light on a growing volume of complaints that lamps and lampshades are selling greatly in excess of ceiling prices, the state OPA said today 1t was ready to embark on & survey of retailer establishments in ali parts of Connecticut.
 It will also pay visits to manu- lecturers and jobbers of lamps and lampshades, the agency promised, in an effort to ascertain the reasons why householders have been asked to pay 50 per cent or more above the legal ceiling prices set by the govrnment.
 The two-fold object of the drive Is to roll back inflated prices and to protect honest dealers from the encroachments of black market competition, OPA asserted.
 Manufacturers will be checked particularly to see if they are giv- ing required discounts to jobbers, while jobbers and retailers will be asked for the names of their sup pliers in order that OPA may follow up claims that overcharges begin at that level of transfer, 1t was re- vealed.
 The highest price a retailer can charge for lamps and lampshades is the highest price he charged dur ing March, 1942, OPA explained.
 If the lamps and lampshades now in retailers stocks are not sim liar to any that he offered for sale during the base price period, he must then take the price of his closest competitor for the same or similar lamp or lampshade, the agency added.

Dry Groups Back Curfew

Washington, Feb. 21.-(UP)- Cafe society and the boys in the back room may weep at the mid night curfew on night life, but the Anti-Saloon League and other dry groups said today 1t was downright wonderful.
 They applauded Mobilization Di- rector James F. Byrnes for order ing bars and other night spots tc shut down at midnight beginning next Monday.
 The drys said they didn't have much hope that Byrnes' edict her aided an official trend toward out right prohibition. But Dr. Ernest H. Cherrington, executive secretary of the Methodist Board of Tenn perance, did think that the tem- perance situation was getting brighter each day.
 "The tendency to get beastly drunk Is not as great as it used tc be-" he said.

LIST PREP AIRED
 FOR GARDENERS
Advice Given on l5O Vari=
 cites of 49 Kinds of Vegetables

Storrs, Conn, Feb. 21 - The back yard gardener who has decided what kinds and varieties of vegetables he expects to grow this year may wish to check his selection against the 1945 list of vegetables considered most satisfactory for Conencticut by A. E. Wilkinson, vegetable specialist of the Agricultural Extension Serv- ice, University of Connecticut. Re- gently completed, the list contains over 150 varieties of 49 kinds Of veg etables, among them ten recently developed varieties.
 Only those which have been most successful in Connecticut are in- cluded, and Professor Wilkinson has indicated the ones he particularly recommends for the home garden because of their high quality. AS local seedsmen may not have all of the varieties, especially as the sea- son progresses, he advises garden CTS to be willing to accept substi- tutes. Gardeners should place their order early and indicate more than one choice of each kind of vege- table as the supply of any one vari- ety may be limited.
 The ten recently developed var aeties recommended for Connecticut are the Fordhook No. PAP bush lima bean, Red Core Chantenay early carrot, Ruby swiss chard, Full Heart endive, Pride of Wisconsin mid-sea- son musk melon, Dixie Queen water melon, All American parsnip, Char ter Oak late pepper, Milton red raspberry, and Butternut squash.
 The list of vegetable recommends ations can be secured from any oi the county agricultural agents, ol by writing the Agricultural Exten- sion Service, University of Connec- ticat, Storrs.

 Such a compromise has been of- fered by Republicans, with approval of the governor. While 1t em- powers the governor to suspend any laws in behalf of the war effort it permits the legislature to veto the suspensions within ten days, ii they are found unacceptable.
 Senate Democratic Leader Leor Ris Cassi, Hartford yesterday re- fused to consider this compromise claiming it was not being presented in proper form.
 Committee hearings on bills con- tinued, meanwhile. State Police Commissioner Edward J. Hickey asked the judiciary committee to ap- prove a personnel increase from 27s to 300 officers, and from two to 1: policewomen. The Judiciary also was asked DJ Rep. E. O. Smith, R., Mansfield, te enact bill which would allow the general assembly to call itself int6 special session. Smith said the state constitution gave the legisla- ture this right, but the general as- sembly virtually had relinquishec 1t to the executive.
 Tn case of an impeachment, he said, mo governor deserving i'm peacnment could be expected to cal the legislature into special session for that purpose"
