Halloween  Cautioned
Marshal Legge Lists Thursday Festivity Fire Hazards

Warning that many Halloween celebrations in the past have been transformed into tragedies due to carelessness with fire, Fire Marshal Eugene A. Legge joined The Ma tional Fire Protection Association today in urging all Waterbury res- idents to keep a watchful eye for fire hazards when they usher in the traditional annual festivity Thurs day evening. The Fire Marshal made a special plea to pranksters not to turn in false alarms as part of their merry making.
 The best way to have a jolly, safe time on Halloween" Marshal Legge said, lis to plan school or community celebration where the fun can have proper supervision.
 Unauthorized and isolated bon fires are a serious fire threat to the whole community. Terrible fire tragedies have occurred when small fires have flashed across halls or night clubs filled with combustible hangings or when flimSy Halloween costumes have been ignited or when candlelit paper Jack-O-Lanterns have overturned. Jack-O-Lanterns are safer and afford more fun if they are electrified for then they may be flashed on and of, adding to the weird effect. Careless smoking and careless use of matches is particularly serious fire cause during Halloween parties.
 The Fire Marshal admonished all Waterbury restaurant, night clubs and other places of public assembly scheduling special celebrations not to use hammable decorations, but to be sure that all decorations are in- combustible or fame-proof; that exits are unobstructed and clearly marked; also that hand hose and fire extinguishers are kept ready to operate, even pails of water, wide ly distributed, may mean the differ ence between trivial fiareup and a holocaust, Marshal Legge con- cluded.','

Farmers Hit US. Altitude On Stability
 See Little Effort
 To Keep Produce
 Prices About Even

Washington, Oct. 29 - CUP) - The National Farmers Union charged today that the United States was threatening to scuttle hopes for effective international stabilization of farm prices.
 Russell Smith, legislative secre- tary of the organization, said the threat was raised by this country's apparent hostility to the proposal for world food board to keep farm prices on an even keel through per- iods of surplus or scarcity.
 Smiths statement came as mem bers countries of the United Ma tions Food and Agriculture Organ ization continued airing their views on the world board, proposed by Sir John Boyd Orr, TAO Director gen. eral.
 U. s. Cool to Plan
 In opening sessions yesterday, the United States was definitely cool to the idea. The Dutch endorsed the the proposal while Denmark saw no conflict with existing international agencies. Britain and Canada pre- sent their views today.
 Several delegates to the TAOS preparatory commission on world food proposals conceded there was little hope the food board plan would go through without the moral and financial backing of the United States.
 Smith specifically criticized the evaluation of the board offered by Undersecretary of Agriculture Nor riS E. Dodd, the U. s. delegate to the preparatory commission.
 Dodd said that while the U. s. endorses the principles at stake, it questions whether food board is the answer. He said multilateral agreements between producing and consuming nations on specific com- modities may be better way.
 Makes Bitter Attack
 To this Smith replied:
 ''To my mind this. statement, if it prevails, not only means abandon ment for all practical purposes the objectives as well as the machinery of the ORR proposals (for' food boardD, but it also means that we have learned absolutely nothing from the experience of the 1920's and 1930's.
 ''The general attitude is to discredit deliberately the effort of TAO to lead the way in orderly pro- gress toward better nutrition and stable and increasing income for producers"
 Smith said Dodd's position also seems to be based on the aSsump- ton that future congresses of the United States will wish to continue to spend $30,000, 0,0O0,0 900 year on armaments and will be unwilling to make adequate appropriations to achieve the ORR proposals"
 The board would stabilize world farm prices by buying during sur plus periods and selling in time o1 scarcity. It also would relieve tht pressure during surplus periods by ] Siphoning food into low-incomt countries to improve nutrition lev. ] els.
 1 Agriculture Department sources emphasized Dodds statement was not department thinking alone They said it was prepared by an in- ter-agency government committee on TAO, including the State, Com- merce, Labor and Agriculture de- partments.
