Special to The Democrat

NoRSS4ANA
 Altamont, N. Y, Oct. 18.-La- Salette Catholic Seminary, a train ing school for missionary priests in which several Waterbury men are enrolled, was burned to the ground this morning.
 Superior of the school, the Rev. Bernard Reilly of Waterbury, esti- mated the damage at $1O0,000. In addition to the wooden frame building which was destroyed, a valuable library was lost, he said Father Reilly is the son of Mrs. Catherine Reilly, 109 Wall Street Waterbury.
 Firemen from nearby villages and Albany IT miles away, were ham, pered by high winds and lack of water. The blaze was discovered at A. M., while the priests were at breakfast The upper floor and at tic of the three-story building were aflame when the fire was first no- ticed. The building was consumed in only one hour.
 The IS students, 12 priests and five lay brothers residing at the seminary all escaped injury. Priests were sable to remove chaliceS and vestments from the chapel before the building was destroyed.
 Father Reilly said that he expects the seminarians will be moved to Ipswich, Mass, where the order has another seminary. They will remain there until new building can be constructed.
 The building, on hilA overlooking the village, was purcha$ed by the order in 1924. It was pieviously c widely known inn here.

Meat Return Spares Turks ForHoIidoys
 Prices Drop
 But Poultry
 Not in Denond

Return of meat to the butcher shops may mean plenty of turkeys and chickens for Thanksgiving. it was reported today by local live poultry dealers, who have given an execution reprieve" to their stock and taken holiday themselves. With meat on the market, there are few shoppers left for poultry, despite the drop in prices, dealers reported.
 Just 8 week ago, poultry dealers feared there would be little stock left by Thanksgiving if the meat situation did not improve. Poultry sales not only reached an all-time high here, but vast amounts of stock were reported leaving for the New York market.
 But yesterday and today, the Wa terbury public was more interested in buying steak and roasts, and poultry, at 20 cents 8 pound less than last week, was no attraction.
 Meat prices varied throughout the city today as they did yester- day. More meat appeared from the local slalughterhouse, and butchers, cognizant of the increased supplies, tried to draw customers by display ing lower prices than their nearest competitor.
 Slaughtering at the Municipal Abattoir increased, and through yesterday the cattle slaughtered since Monday totaled 231. In addi- tion there were many hundreds of lambs and calves.
 Yesterdays total was 81 cattle and 52 calves. Many lambs and additional cattle were reported waiting at the slaughterhouse to- day.
 The meat situation at the local hospitals were reported somewhat improved as a result of the local slaughtering, but it was indicated the hospitals were waiting for ar rival of western stock before they change their menus radically.
 Some of the locally-slaughtered beef has been delivered to the hos pitals. It was reported, however, that chicken and fish dinners are still numerous.

Washington, Oct. 18-CUP)-OPA took a $6,O00,00 poke at the na- tion's sweet tooth today by raising prices of jams, jellies, preserves and apple butter.
 The increase will be cent a pound on apple butter and two cents pound on the others. OPA estimated the action, neceSsitated by higher costs to industry, would boost the nations annual food bill by $6,000,0O0.
 OPA also granted 8 35 to 40 per cent increase on mems low-price plain white print cloth and lawn hanlkerchiefS and 2.4 percent boost on work gloves. The price of bronze and copper insect screen cloth, used to protect homest hose pitals and some business establish- ments, went up 13.5 percent. Meanwhile, OPA continued it's rapid-fire decontrol actions in line with President Truman's speedup policy, and officials estimated that ceilings on almost all major foods and many commodities and services will be off by Nov. 1.
 They ruled out early decontroL however, on rents, building mater ialS, new homes, autos and other acutefy scarce commodities. The major foods which they feel may remain under control after Nov. l include oranges, bananas, flour and flour products and of course, sugar.

Russia Denounces US. Ruling
Registering Agents Seen As Unity Bar
Justice Department f Edict Is AssoiIed
 By Soviet Embassy

Washington, Oct. IS - (UP)-The Soviet Embassy today accused the Justice De- partment of adding difficult ties to establishment of cul- tural ties between us and the people of the United States.
 The Embassy described Justice Department demand that Russian delegates to the Slav Congress 1n New York register as foreign agents as being compatible neither with the personal dignity of these outstanding people nor with the Self-respect of the country which they represent"
 The Soviet attitude toward the Justice Department action was made known by Mihail s. Vavilov, first secretary of the Russian Em- bassy, at a press conference. It was the third press conference at the Embassy since December, l94L Russia Recalled 17 As a result of the Justice De- partment's demand that the dele- gates register as foreign agents, Russia recalled the Remember Soviet delegation to the Congress. Three delegates from other coun- tries, however, went ahead and registered. They included two Bul- garians and one Czech, the Rev. F'rantiseck Fiala, the latest to reg ister.
 The Justice Department contend- ed the visitors were not bona fde delegates but were guests of Ameri- can delegates. The group had claimed diplomatic status.
 Vavilov told the press conference that in recent years U. s. sources repeatedly have proposed visits to this country by Russian representa- tives of science, literature and the arts with view to strengthening of friendly relations between the American and Soviet peoples"
 Many such visits have taken place and U. s. scientists and others have been invited to Russia, he said.
 But the Justice Departments acc tion, the Embassy said, is not com patible with efforts to improve cill- tural relations between the two countries.
 One can only regret" Vavilov said, that outstanding representa- tives of the Soviet republics re- turned to the Soviet Union with bitter feelings of disillusion and hurt"
 Vavilov was asked whether Americans going to Russia had to register. He said they did not adding that visitors to the U.SSR. were granted freedom of movement.
 They are pretty closely watched aren't they?" reporter asked.
 T would rather discuss that 1z1 the future," Vavilov replied.

Landlord Collected
 Bonuses, OPA Says

D. Edmund Spicer of 292 West Main Street will be arraigned in the U. s. District Court in New Haven next Tuesday on a criminal infor- nation which charges him with four counts of violating OPA rules hy taking rent bonuses from tenants, it was disclosed today.
 The local physician, owner of five apartment houses here, faced charg- es of breach of the peace and as- sault in City Court and Common Pleas Court last Spring as the re- suit of a tenants complaint He was successful in his appeal to Com mon Pleas Court and was given 8 nolle.
 The latest charges were made by Assistant District Attorney Valen- tine Sacco of Hartford, on a com- plaint from the OPA. It is be- heved the case is the first local one to be taken to court as result of a violation involving bonuses.
 Bonus Demands Listed
 In the information, Dr. Spicer is charged with demanding and &C., cepting a $40 bonus from Mrs. Ed ward A. Koss of 292 West Main Street in addition to the monthly rent of $40, taking $45 bonus from Mrs. Nellie Ames Browne of Al Cooke Street in addition to the monthly rent of $45, taking 8 $25 bonus from Mrs. Anne Holman of 460-62 West Main Street, in addi- ton to monthly rent of $23, and taking a $23 bonus from Mrs. Hen " P. Krzykoski of 460-62 West Main Street in addition to monthly rent of $23.
 The information does not specify when the bonuses were collected, but it is indicated they were taken at some time after the occupancy by the various tenants started.
 It has been reported that the OPA has several times arranged for re- funds by Dr. Spicer to tenants for rent overcharges.
 The 65-year-old doctor was ar- rested last March on the complaint of Mrs. Pauline Siskind of 462 West Main Street, and was fined $35 in City Court, April IS, on charges of breach of peace and assault. The tenant claimed the physician struck her during an argument, after he asked her to remove flower pots from the porch.
 Appeal Pending
 At the appeal hearing, June in Common Pleas Court, a nolle was recommended by Prosecutor William J. Larkin, who said there were many contradictions in the case and that the State would not be able to prove the charges beyond reasonable doubt
 A $10,O00 assault case filed by Mrs Siskind against Dr. Spicer is now pending in Superior Court.

Industry and Labor Demand End dof Ban on Wage Changes

Washington, Oct. 18-(UP)-In- dustry and AFL forces attempted today to persuade the government to lift all controls on wage cuts as well as increases.
 Both sides were confident that Pres ident Truman would restore free collective bargaining for pay in- creases and unrestricted price fix ing in proposed new wage-price exc cutive orders. But they said he should go all the way and abolish government authority over wage cuts.
 One industry source said it would be unfair to remove the lid on wage hikes and try at the same time to enforce rules against pay decreases. He said the stabilization act of Oc- tober, 1942, which prohibits wage cuts below the highest rate paid between Jan. 1 and Sept. 15, 1922, is outmoded anyway.
 Industry can never go back to the level of wage rates paid in that Jan.-Sept. 1942 period" he said.
 "Our unions won't let them" said an AFL spokesman.
 Industry especially dislikes the way the War Labor Board and more recently the Wage Stabilization
