his hospital bill until he could make other arrangements.
 That was back in August. Win Sticklius is still in St. Mary's, but he's improving steadily and he's looking. forward to the day when he can go back to work.
 Praised By Union
 MT. Judd asked the union not to give any publicity to the help, that the factory had given Sticklius. But Tim Kearney, chairman of the Mattatuck unit of the CI.O., thought that MT. Judd and the firm should get the proper credit and, in today's issue of The Van- guard, official publication of the Connecticut C.I.o., is an article. over the name of Tim Keayney, re- lating the facts of the Mattatuck Company's generosity.
 "That,s the kind of company we like to do business with" today said Business Agent Joseph McEvoy of Local 251. "All these textbook theories about labor-management relations are fine, but it's a case like this that makes us appreciate how human good firm can be, It's because of things like that we have such excellent relations with Mattatuck."
 As for Vim Stiekilus things look g lot brighter now than they did ] that day in August.

 Certain formalities must be car- ried out, however, and there might be paper work" delay.
 The spokesman said the only foods likely to remain under control are sugar, rice and a few minor items.
 Major foods still under control in clude flour, bread, bakery products dried edible beans and peas, fresh oranges, canned tomatoes and to- mator products except tomato soup, sugar beets and sugar cane, sugar and sugar solutions, maple syrup, maple sugar, flavoring syrups, candy and confections, soft drinks, most distilled spirits, malt beverages. and fresh and canned fish.
 To decontrol most of these foods would require fast action by OPA and the Agriculture Department, but an official indicated the neces- sary speed could be mustered.
 The agencies had planned to de- control the bulk of foods still un- der price ceilings item by item. It was learned, however, that OPA was working on 8 master list" for lump decontrol.

-
 From the bed at St. Mary's Hos pital where he lay suffering from a serious back injury, the future looked dismal to the young father of four children.
 The doctor had told him he'd have to stay in the hospital for 8 long time, and he spent his days worrying about things at home He knew his wife would miss his pay check every week, that bills were piling up. It would have been dif- ferent If he'd been injured on his job, because then he would get workmen's compensation, but in stead he'd been hurt while helping paint his mother-in-law's house.
 Things were at their blackest when Vincent Sticklius found that sometimes 1t isn't such bad world after all. First his fellow-members of the Mattatuck Manufacturing Company unit of the Waterbury Brass Workers Union, Local 251, told him they'd help all they could.
 FoOts His Bills
 Then the case was brought to the attention of Stuart Judd, vice. president of Mattatuck. Ike told the harassed father not to worry. The company would not only pay him his full wages during his convales- cence but would allow his family rent-free occupancy of its home on Southmayd Road.
 Whats more, Mir Judd told Stick Illus the company would also pay

1n an attempt to erect nnal SeItle- ment of the nationwide shipping tie-up which began Oct. l.
 President John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers, (AFL9, placed the next move up to the Government in the threatened coal mine strike. Lewis had asked Sec retary of Interior J. A. Krug to start new wage negotiations under the Governments contract with the miners within 10 days.
 Any Breach Means Strike
 Last night he sent Krug a let ter which said in part:
 Failure on your part to honor this meeting will constitute another breach of contract and will void the Krug-Lewis agreement
 Inasmuch as the miners tradi- tionally refused to work without a contract, Lewis letter meant that the 100000 soft coal miners would be pulled from the pits Nov. l un- less the government agrees to ne- gotiate.
 The government has operated the soft coal mines under contract with the miners since shortly af- ter it seized the mines last May to end two-fnonth strike. It has continued operation under the con- tract because the mine owners have been unable to reach a contract agreement with the union.
 Go to COlliSSOn
 In reply to Lewis first request that the government reopen tht contract, Navy Capt. N. H. Collis' son, Federal coal administrator suggested that Lewis try to worl out an agreement with the min' owners and relieve the goyernmen of operation.
 Meanwhile, the National Mediation Board re-entered the wage diSput' between Iva and 1,40O striking pilot with the announcement that i may ask the disputants to resume negotiations under Governmen auspices.
 Further negotiations were sched' uled in the shipping strike today between ship owners and represen. tatives of the A. F. L. Masters Mates and Pilots Association. Shll operators already had reached agreement with the CI.O. Marine Engineers on the East and Gull Coasts.

Rogge Bores Nozis Fought oB BeotFDR
 Spent Great DeoI
 Of Time, Effort
 In Each Compoiqn

Swarthmore. Pa., Oct. 23-(UP)- Nazi leaders in Germany spent great deal of time and effort on proposed schemes to defeat the late President Roosevelt each time he ran for reelection, according to O. John Rogge, special assistant to the U. s. Attorney General.
 In a speech to Swarthmore Col lege students last night. Rogge said that the late William R. Davis, an American promoter who had been selling oil to Germany, approached Reichsmarshal Hermann Goering before the 194O elections with plan in which Davis claimed he could influence John L. Lewis to oppose MT. Roosevelt and help elect Wen dell Willkie, the Republican candi- date for President
 Rogge said Lewis had aided Davis in 1888 to secure control of expro- priated Mexican oil which Davis sold to Germany.
 He said Davis election plan was fantastic scheme" Lewis, presi- dent of the United Mine Workers, came out publically for Willkie la- ter, but Rogge offered no evidence that German influence had any bearing on Lewis decision.
 In Washington, a spokesman for Lewis declined to comment on Rog- ge's statements. The spokesman said Lewis would have no comment.
 Rogge noted that Washington Columnist Marquis Childs had re- ported that Davis put up $55,000 to pay for the nationwide radio hook up over which Lewis announced his support for Willkie in 194O.
 In response to questioning after his speech, Rogge said he did not think Lewis action had violated any Federal statute. If they did, he added, "the statute of limita- tions has already expired" Rogge has spent several months Investigating efforts of the Ger mans to wield influence in this country before and during World War II. He spoke mostly about the l94O campaign. The U. S. was stil at peace with Germany at that time.

is expected to set a date for the conference at it's forthcoming meet ing here regardless of Soviet action.
 It was conceded that a Russian boycott would delay Allied agree ment on peace terms for Japan and hamper Gen. Douglas MacArthur's efforts to put the defeated nation back on it's feet.
 The belief that Russia might boycott the reparations conference was linked with her distaste for American demands that millions of dollars of industrial equipment re- moved from Manchuria by the Red Army be subtracted from repara- tions grants finally made to the Soviets.
 Russia, it was learned, has stead fastly refused to budge from her position that the Manchurian equipment was war booty" and hence not deductible from her EreparationS.
 The decision to call the repara- tions conference at an early. date, it was understood, was the result of repeated appeals from Mac Arthur. The Allied supreme com mander informed the commission that much of the industrial equip ment from which reparations must be drawn is exposed to the weather in bombed out factories, and is fast deteriorating.
 Meanwhile, it was reported that Preparations Ambassador Edwin W. Pauley is drafting two secret mem- oranda for President Truman which may serve as basis for Allied rep aration demands on Japan.
 One document, officials said, is a detailed account of the Russian industrial removals from Man. churia, where Pauley recently visit jed. The other consists of studJ 0f Japanese industrial faciIitiei which can be removed as repara- tions.
 Pauley, in a preliminary state- ment, said Russian removals from Manchuria has made imperative at least $2,000,000,000 worth of indus trial facilities. The Russian policy he reported, was to take vital DOT tioris of plants, thereby destroying produtive power.

 Through Window

East Hampton, Oct. 23-] (UP)-Fire, fed by spilled oil from a living room space heater, swept a five-room cot tage here early today and snuffed out the lives of Mrs. Florence Clark Nelson, 46, her eight children and six month-old grandchild.

 Only one person escaped the flames-Edward Clark Nelson, 20, another son of Mrs. Nelson, who smashed a window when he aWoke to Snd the flames shooting over hls head in bed. Mrs. Nelson's hus- band, who occupied shack on the property, was among those who went for help when he was pre- vented by the fire from entering the cottage.
 An overheated oil burner was be- lieyed to have started the Ire which gained such headway that firemen, summoned by Clark, were unable to subdue it or to try 10 bring out the bodies.
 When the flames subsided five of the victims were found in bed, m two of the three bedrooms of the fiye-room cement and frame build ing. The other six were huddled against a door leading into the yard, within inches of the open ar and safety.

 In Foreign Lond

London, Oct. 23-UP)-Winston Churchill indicated in Commons to- day that he had reports that Russia has more than 200 divisions on war footing in the occupied territories of Europe from the Baltic to Vienna and from Vienna to the Black Sea-"

 Stresses True Values
 Churchill welcomed Premier Josef Stalin's deprecation of the threat of war in 8 recent question and answer pronouncement, but added;
 What matters are deeds and facts.
 "Is it true that there are today more than 200 Soviet divisions on a war footing in the occupied terri tories of Europe from the Baltic to Vienna and from Vienna to the Black sea?
 T should be very relieved if l could be told that my figures are altogether excessive, and will &C., cept the Governments reply"

 q fervently hope and pray that this view is still correct"
 Churchill challenged the Govern ment for the opposition when he said If we are unable to fulfill our pledge to set up national home for Jews in Palestine it is our duty and certainly our right to lay our mandate at the feet of the United Nations"
