nues Of public entertainment show

AS we confront the evil tendency
Of the times, which is inextricably
bound up with the common attitude

Breod Price To BeHiked

Washington, Oct. 26.-(UP)- Housewives were warned today to brace themselves for a new boost in the family food budget-this time in the cost of bread and rolls.
 The Agriculture Department yes terday discarded its emergency or- der requiring bakers to reduce the size of bread loaves and rolls by 10 percent.
 Since there are no price controls on bakers products, bakers who in crease tn esize of their loaves may raise prices at their discretion.
 OPA officials did not anticipate 8 substantial price boost. They ex- pected many bakers to continue selling at present prices, regardless of whether they increase the size of the loaf.
 The size limitation order was one of several voided. Out of wartime list of more than 178 food orders strictly regulating the nations eat- ing habits, less than 25 remain on the books,

Sleuths Fail to Get MT. Ace;
 He's Worth S25 to You TOdau

Sleuthing appears to be neglect ed, if not lost, art in Waterbury, for The Democrats MT. Ace Strolled around the Green with $12.50 in his pocket last evening and no one ap- peared to claim it.
 As a result, MT. Aces cash burden is $25 today and he is walking Bank Street, from Exchange Place to Grand Street, between 3:30 and 4 o'clock, waiting for someone to ask him for the cash.
 All you have to do is carry a copy of this edition of The Democrat, tap your choice for MT. Ace on the shoulder and remark: T know you. You're The Democrats MT. Ace"
 If that proves to be true, MT. Ace will hand over the $25.
 If you tapped the wrong man, it's your $25 loss and your responsibil- ity as to what reply you get.
 Should no detective find our MT. Ace today, he will appear again Monday on East Main Street, be- tween Exchange Place and the Elm Street intersection, from 5 to 5:3O, and this time he will be carrying $37.50 in cash. To claim the money you will have to come along with a copy of the Monday City Edition of The Democrat, identify Mir. Ace and accept the cash.
 To help those who might not have seen our picture of MT. Ace in yes- terday's Democrat, here are a couple of hints: He is yuong of med- ium build, weighs about 135 and doesn't look like George Raft, who is the MT. Ace in the movie of that name which will open at Loew,s Poli Theater Wednesday.
 One clue will help: If the guy you think might be MT. Ace is carrying a copy of The Democrat and look ing sharply at you, that isn't MT. Ace. He's just another of the hun dreds who are out looking for MT. Aces cash.
 Better get out there and look be- fore someone else beats you to the reward.

Unions Delay Action Until 
 No Immediate
 Wage Drive
 Forseen Here

Local leadesr of the CLIO. Mine, Mill & Shelter Workers Union, CI.O., representing workers in the Big 3" of the brass industry and in many smaller plants, are await ing the outcome of national and state C.I.O. conventions before de- ciding on the program they will follow on wages. a
 With the national C.I.O. conven- tion scheduled to start Nov. IS and the state CLIO. conclave scheduled for Dec. and 8, it appears at this time that no general new wage de- mands are planned here. However further sharp increases in the cost of living might result in earlier action.
 The CLOS new national policy on wage increases is now being worked out by President Philip Murray and his aides, and will be delegates at the national conven- tion in Atlantic City next month Between the national and state conventions, Connecticut CLIO officials will work out the steps necessary to apply the national program to this state.
 It is known that the local wage situation has been under careful recent scrutiny by John Mankow- ski, member of the MM.S.W. ex- ecutive board from District 6, and John J. Driscoll, state C.I,O. sec- retary
 Following strikes last Winter and Spring, wage increases of IS 1-2 cents an hour were secured for em- pleyes of the American Brass Com pany, Chase Brass & Copper Com pany and the Scovill Manufactur- ing Company. The IS 1-2 cent pat tern was followed by smaller plants in the Waterbury area.
 Labor leaders claim that thest increases have been wiped out by advances in living costs. They ex- pect the elimination of OPA con trols to mean further increases, ano it is 8 virtual certainty that the CI.O. will ask for new pay boosts It is the amount that will be sought and the program to be fol- lowed to gain it that will be de- cided at the two conventions.

 l. Wyatt prepared a list of critical lumber products to be imported from Canada without tariff payments. The action is expected to safeguard, not in- crease, present imports.
 2. At Wyatt's request, the Re- construction Finance Corpora ton studied proposals to lend 4,000, 900 to II firms to foster production of pre-fabricated houses.
 3. The Housing Expediter prepared to put in effect a new premium payment plan expect ed to step up production of nails, an item critically short in con- ventional home construction.
