Two employees of the Waterbury Democrat narrowly escaped injury this morning when some oily chips inadvertently dropped into pot of molten type in the stereotyping room caused a flare-up squirting flaming oil and molten metal over the ceiling and into the composing room for a distance of 10 feet.
 The heat set off an overhead sprinkler in the composing room, but quick action by firemen in cov- ering equipment with tarpaulins prevented extensive water damage, although fire loss, which is covered by insurance, was estimated by the Fire Marshal and his aide, Capt. Eugene Legge, at several hundred dollars.
 The accident occurred at 10 a. n., with Raymond Lareine, a stereotype room employe, standing in front of the metal pot, which is about four feet in diameter. A sheet of flame and metal which spurted out was

IS his lack of information"

as his lack of information.
 Rep. Dingell took his seat. Knut- sor now had used up one hour and 25 minutes. He wasn't through. He got another 15 minutes. Why he queried, "has this country been prosperous? Because we had a tariff that would let man like God in- tended"
 But suppose you buy a ship in England" interrupted Rep. William R. Thom of Canton, o. And you pay for it with American dollars What does England do with these dollars?"
 Search me-" Rep. Knutson re- piled. He suggested that if Rep. Thom also would sit down, he could finish his speech. Thom was willing Knutson wound up his remarks with bon mot:
 The worst part of the depression he said, was that we had to do without so many of the things our fathers never had"
 Then he sat down, too, The Re- publicans applauded. The Democrats didn't.

Firemen's Quick Work Averts l HeavyD Damages
Sprinking System in Democrats Composing Room

largely deflected by protective hood several feet over the pot, and shot out sideways into the com- posing room, setting of a sprinkler which was set for 150 degrees.
 A sprinkler directly over the pot, which was set for 250 degrees for tunately did not go off. If it had. it would have sent boiling water flying through the composing room. With this in mind, at considerable risk to himself, Albert A. Affeldt, foreman of the stereotyping de- partment (and a member of the Wolcott volunteer fire department, dropped an asbestos board over the still agitated metal pot. He then turned in an alarm from an ADT box in the building.
 Nine pieces of fire apparatus re- sponded immediately, blocking off Grand street to traffic. They were Engines 10, 9 4, 3, and 6; Trucks 1 and 3, the emergency wagon and the booster pump. Chief Thomas F. Cavanaugh immediately detached unit of firemen to cover the presses in the basement and the equipment in the printing room be- low, as water was seeping down through the floor of the third floor where the fire started. Bremen also mopped up the water, allow ing operations to continue normally in putting out the newspaper.
 Included in the damage was a smoke pipe above the pot, knocked out by the explosion, and clothes Of some 15 men which hung in cor ner of the composing room.

Toriff lsn Dull Subject
BY FREDERICK c. OTHMAN

Washington, May 23-UP)-No- body can tell me that the tariff is a dull subject. I've been listening to congressman bend each others ears back and I am about to present for your edification one of the most magnificent collections of insults ever compiled.
 The tariff did it. The Democrats want to lower the rates, the Repub- licans want to keep em up. So much for the background. When I walked into the chamber, Rep Harold Knutson, the St. Cloud, Minn., spell binder. was holding forth without benefit of microphones. The ampli- flers were there, but he ignored en-
 Churchill is one of the biggest isolationists today" he cried. 50 is Stalin and I hope to God I am. I believe in the full dinner pail"
 Will the gentleman yield?' de- manded Rep. William. J. Gallagher, the eX-street sweeper from Minne- sota.
 This was fine time to be in terrupted, said Rep. Knutson, but if Gallagher insisted. well Gallag- her did insist He propcunded a question that involved dinner pails and economics. Rep. Knutson pom dered moment. Then he announc- ed.
 Not being the seventh son of a seventh son I don't know what the gentleman is talking about. Other wise the gentleman is very de- lightful gentleman"
 Knutson talked for 30 minutes. Then he allotted himself another half hour, used that up, and de- manded 25 minutes more.
 Were the only country in the Wrold that gives our money away with no hope of getting it back" he said. Were smart, huh? Very smart. Take our tin mills"
 We don't have tin mills in this country interrupted Rep. John D. Dingell of Detroit, Mich
 "Oh yes we do,' snapped Rep. Knutson.
 No we don't" said Rep. Dingell, Only tin plate mills"
 If the gentleman wants to argue the difference between tWeedle-dee- dee and tweedle -dee-dum," Rep. Knutson retorted, "Ill see him out side
 Hey" cried Rep Dingell,
 "Oh, you just sit down." parked Rep. KnutSon.
 T will not sit down." countered Rep, Dingell. Sometimes the gen. tleman's lack of manners is as bad

Government Agencies
 Lacking Coordination
CIO State Council Sends Data to Connectcuts Menl=
 bers in Congress on Seriousness of Lay=0ffs

reled to them by the CIO State Council, which is gathering cutback and lay-off facts and figures on a state basis.
 The Mine, Mill & Srnelter staff meeting adopted resolution, to be sent to the congressman, which de- clared that unless government agen- cies substituted careful planning for present loose methods of terminat- iEg war contracts, widespread un- employment would soon hit the area.
 The resolution urged Connecticut congressman to continue their ef- forts to direct the attention of gov ernment agencies to the Waterbury situation, so that either new war conracts would be supplied or ma- terials allocated for reconversion to urgently needed civilian goods. In adition, it asked them to vigorously support the Murray Full Employment bill which comes before the senate banking and currency committee for hearings next month
 If Waterbury were reclassifed as a No. 3 area, which if not justified at the present time apparently will be in the very near future, the War Production Board would be free to allocate for civilian production whatever materials are available.
 It was pointed out that lack of coordination between agencies is shown by the fact that although procurement agencies are terminat- ing contracts in the area, releasing many workers from present jobs, the War ManpoWer Commission still classifies Waterbury as a No. cri- tical area, with compulsory 48- hour working week.
