Proposed Trade School Here Agitates Board of Education

Waterbury's proposed tra e school, a controversial issue here for several years, was the subject of a heated discussion at Board of Ed ncation meeting last night when & motion was made to engage "heat- ing engineer" to draw plans for the school.
 Commissioner Harold Parkinson said he saw no need for engaging a heating engineer when no plans whatever had been made for the trade school itself. He charged that the trade school proposal lis being handled piece-meal" and that the board was beating around the bush!"
 Commissioner Parkinson com- mented that the Board first should decide whether 1t would have trade school at all and where 1t would have 1t, and then look into hiring an engineer or architect to make plans.
 Studying Proposal
 It was pointed out by Commis- sioner Edward Bergin, member of the Boards schoolhouse committee, that the committee was reconsider ing a proposal to use the vacant Mulcahy School building as the site for the trade school, and wanted to obtain an estimate of the expense in volved in setting up heating system.
 Commissioner Perry Graicerstein, who answered Parkinson with the comment we're not doing this for exercise" said that whether the Board makes plans for a trade school depends on whether 1t can get a heating system.
 The Board members indicated that the engineers plans would be used whether the heating system

Waterbury landlords were praised today by George McDuff, OPA rent administrator for the area, for their "anti-inflationary attitude" in re- fuslng to raise their rents above OPA ceiling levels during the 2S- day lapse of controls.
 Tt was most encouraging" Mo- Duff said, ito observe that the ma- Jorlty of our landlords were sim cerely desirouS of holding residential rents at reasonable levels for the tenants in this area"
 Traffic at the rent office on Grand Street increased today, as landlords called in steady stream to seek personal occupancy certificates for eviction or to file rent-increase De- titionS. Such work was not handled during the 25-day interim period. Many residents who bought new homas during the OPA-less period were among those calling for aid from the OPA in securing possess sion of the premises. Others were seeking use of their property for sons or daughters.
 The office is ready ito help both landlords and tenants who are troubled with rent problems" Nc. Duff said.
 McDuff stressed today that land- lords must retain the same rental periods that were in force before June 30 Those who changed from a months to a weekly basis, or to a daily one, must return to the old schedules. The rent administrator said this rule holds even if there was a change of tenancy during the interim period.

 Wage Plans

The Congress of Industrial Or ganlzations, has abandoned any plans, at present, of asking for con- tract renegotiations for wage in- creases John J. Driscoll, executive secretary of the State c. I. o. Coun- ell, said today. The policy was adopted at a meeting of the c. I.O. executive board in Washington July l8-l9 and presided over by Philip Murray.
 No attempts will be made to re- open contracts to seek wage in- creaSes so as to prevent any further increase in the cost of living" MT. Drlscol told The Democrat.
 The move parallels that of the United Auto Workers which infor- mally went on record at the same time as holding to the belief that "a fresh wage demand might set an mflationary spiral in motion" The U. A. w., however, expressed the belief that it's Is l-2 cents an hour increase, won last Winter has been wiped out through price in- creaseS. The U.
