Coal Furnace Converted to Oil.

SOdA \UHtCFtCu W OEs
@. Can you give me any instruc-
tions on the care and maintenance
of an oil heater that has been con-
verted from a coal fired steam
boiler?
A. The oil burner man who in
stalled the burner should have left
with you leaflet or card describing
the care of the burner. The main
tenance of the unit should be done
by the Oil burner serviceman. Such
work should not be attempted by
an amateur for more harm than
good may be done to the burner.
Making a Lamp.
@. wish to make a lamp out of
a large, rough crockery lard jar,
and stain or tint it blue green with
streaks of yellow. Could I give it
a glazed finish with a colorless
varnish or lacquer after the stain
is dry? How can I bore a hole in
it for an electrical cord?
A. The finish you desire is a por-
celain glaze applied on pottery when
it is made and burned There is no
stain suitable for the purpose. You
may be able to simulate the finish by
coating, the jar with a quick drying
enamel. Results will be entirely de-

pendent on your ability to flow on
the yellow enamel to obtain the
streak effect. Before applying the
enamel be sure the surfaces are
entirely free of grease and dull the
gloss of the present glaze by rubbing
with sandpaper; then wipe with
benzine (be careful of fire). 1t would
be wise for you to have an elec-
trician drill the hole and set in the
lamp appliance.
New Finish for Stained Shingles.
A. Our home is brick to the belt,
the rest being shingle. What kind
of stain should be used on the
shingles?
A. If the present finish is stain.
you can restain the shingles. If you
prefer house paint, it can be used,
but only if the old stain has almost
completely weathered off. Good re-
suits might be obtained by printing
with aluminium paint. A wood shin
gle roof should be treated with shin
gle stain; never painted Do not do
outside paint work in cold weather.
Buy the best materials and apply
according to the manufacturer
instructions.
Cold Basement.
@. My heating pipes have all been
covered, and since then there is no
heat in the basement. Is 1t advisable
to put in a radiator?
A. 1t may be possible to put in
additional radiators, provided the
boiler has the capacity to carry the
additional load of supplying heat for
the basement as well as the rooms
upstairs. Your heating contractor
can take care of this problem. Or,

 "As the second year of peace be- gins he said in the very first words of his report, the national economy is in a position of great promise, and of great danger"
 TO BUSINESS, he addressed this appeal:
 Business as a whole must follow the lead of some of the business men who are acting to hold prices down wherever possible.''
 TO LABOR:
 Labor as whole must support the labor leaders who are working toward industrial peace and not pushing for uneconomic wage in- creases which might precipitate a Wage-price spiral
 TO AGRICULTURE:
 ''The farmer must maintain their high level of production, for an abundant supply of food at req sonable prices is the very basis of our living standards"
 TO THE CONSUMING PUBLIC:
 Public resistance to higher prices, increased saving and self denial in the cases of goods which are not yet plentiful, can be a tre- mendously effective weapon to keep prices in line"

Gov. Baldwin Rejects Plan

Hartford, Oct. g. CUP) - Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin today blamed the meat crisis in Connecticut upon the Federal Administration and de- clared that removal of price controls would alleviate the national shortage.
 The Governors statement, togeth- CT with a report on survey of the meat situation in Connecticut near completion, was released following a radio talk by Democratic guberna- torial candidate Wilbert Snow. Lt. Gov. Snow offered one-Week mora torium on politics in order to allow the Republican and Democratic parties jointly to try for alleviation of the meat shortage.
 In effect rejecting Shows recom- mendation that the State subsidize meat purchases as one method of getting a steady flow of beef into Connecticut markets, Gov Baldwin said:
 The real trouble lies in Washing ton. And that is where corrective measures must be taken"

Plants Rozed InWeIIesIev
 $500, 900 Domoqe
 Done to Mills

Wellesley, Mass, Oct. 3.-CUP)- A general alarm fire destroyed two manufacturing plants in Wellesley and leaped 60 feet across the Charles River to sweep a third fac tory today with total damage esti- mated at nearly $50O,OOO.
 The fire started in the mill of the Wellesley Woolen Company, a two story wooden building 125 feet long, and quickly spread to the nearby plant of the Lenk Manu- featuring Company, makers of blow torches.
 Half a dozen alcohol explosions helped spread the fire and the wind carried sparks across the river to the warehouse of the J. S. Cor dingly wool Company whose watchman had first sounded the alarm for the fire.
 The first two buildings were in Wellesley and general alarm brought out all the towns appara- tus and additional help from Need ham, Natick, Birmingham and Wa tertown.
 When the flames spread to the Newton side of the river, a general alarm was sounded there, bringing 12 pieces of the towns apparatus and help from Waltham and Bos- ton

Snow Urges  Meat Fight.
 Asks Moratorium
 On Campaigning
 To Solve Deorth

Hartford, Oct. Gov. Wilbert Snow, Democratic guber- material candidate, today offered Gov. R. E. Baldwin a one week moratorium on politics while both Republican and Democratic parties attempted to end the meat shortage in the State.
 In statewide radio broadcast last night, Snow declared:
 Governor Baldwin and I have a double responsibility to you. I in- vite him to join with me in declar- ing a one-week moratorium on poli- tics until this emergency can be disposed of.
 We two servants of yours must agree, and our fellow partisans must agree, that, until the people of Connecticut eat as they are en- titled to eat again, we in public office will cooperate as Americans in order that we may become free as quickly as possible, within week perhaps, to compete again as rivals.
 Snow suggested this three-point program for ending the meat short- age in the State:
 Use of the Governors special powers for dealing with food en- ergency as authorized by the 1945 legislature.
 Urging of President Truman to summon Congress and restore Fed eral meat subsidies In this con- nection, Snow urged immediate all location of State funds for meat subsidies pending congressional action.
 Use of State agencies to wipe out black markets.

Invites Soviet Union
 To Share in New Pact
Joins StoIin
 To Predict Wor Not Imminent

Paris, Oct. 3-UP)-Sec- retary of State James F. Byrnes joined Premier Josef Stalin today in predicting that war is not imminent but urged all nations to avoid seeking political or economic advantages which could only result in war.
 "Just because war Is not imminent, we must take the greatest care not to plant the seeds of future war" Byrnes told the American Club in Paris
 He re-issued his invitation for Soviet Russia to join the United States, Britain and France in a treaty for demilitarization of Ger many to last 40 years. He said the term could be extended if the ln- terests of peace and security re- Quire.
 Admits Differences Serious
 Taking time out from the Peace Conference arguments, Byrnes ad- mitted candidly that serious differ ences existed among the Big Four These cannot be solved by ignoring or minimizing them, he added.
 SIt is easy to get everyone 10 agree that war is evil" Byrnes said. Tt is not 30 easy to get agreement as to the things which lead to war"
 "The difficulty is that while no nation wants war, nations may pur- sue policies or courses of action which lead to war. Nations may seek political or economic advan- tages which cannot be obtained without war"
 Byrnes said the proposed Big Four treaty on Germany envisaged a continued need for limited but adequate armed forces, not for oc- cupation but for insuring compli- ance with the demilitariZation treaty.
 Re-emphaSizes Promise
 He reiterated his Stuttgart prom ise that American troops will re- main in Germany as long as the occupation continues.
 We propose the Allied occupa- tion of Germany should not term mate until the German government does accept the required disarma- ment and demilitarization clauses" "
 Byrnes coupled his appeal for in- ternational moderation with efforts to answer French criticism to his Stuttgart statement rejecting sep aration of the Ruhr.
 50 long as such treaty is in force, the Ruhr could never become the arsenal of Germany or the arsenal of Europe" he said

City oiIors End WoIkout Gronted $9 Week
 Raise, Overtime

Journeymen tailors who have been engaged in dispute with To- cal mems and boys ready-to-wea stores will return to their jobs to- morrow morning as the result o1 an agreement reached late this morning between a merchants committee and Local 115, Amalga- mated Clothing Workers of Amer ica, C.I.O.
 The settlement terms, as an- nounced by International Represen- tative Eusap Oswaldo of the union include raise of $9 a week, pay ment of time and half for over time, and guarantee of 52 weeks work year. The tailorS, who make alterations in clothing purchased at 10 local establishments, had been receiving $41 week and SIPS an hour for overtime beyond 40 hourr.
 As The Democrat predicted yes terday, early settlement was reached, since only $1 a week sep arated the disputants. The mer- chants had offered $49 a week at a conference Tuesday night.
 Journeymen tailors employed in the 10 establishments stayed away from work Tuesday, yesterday and today, but MT. Oswaldo said the work stoppage did not represent a strike.
 We have peace in the family again." sa..s Leonard Eichler, man. ager of Hilton's Clothes and a member of the merchants commit tee, in confirming the settlement terms as announced by MT Oswal- do. Tt was just a difference of opinion and everyone is satisfied. '

Cheshire Air Crash Caused ByFueIL Line
 Leaking Gasoline
 Sets Fire to Winq
 Motor, CAB Says

Failure of a fuel line caused the Cheshire airplane crash which took IT lives last Jan. 18, the Civil Aero nauti5s Board reported at Washing ton yesterday. Leaking gasoline set fire to the left engine, which resulted in collapse of the left wing and sent the Eastern Airlines passenger car- rier plummeting to the ground, the board said.
 The Douglas DC-3 was not equip- ped with fire detectors which would have given instant notice of the fire in the left engine installation, the CAB. report pointed out. Because of this and other crashes, the board stated, new fire prevention regula- tions were recently put into effect, including one requiring the inStalla- ton of fire detection equipment.
 The CAB. said investigation of the shattered plane had shown that failure of fuel or fuel connection near the left engine had caused a gasoline leakage. The leaking gas became ignited as the plane was in flight, causing an engine fire which brought about the collapse of the left wing.
 With the wing gone, the plane was uncomfortable and the efforts of Capt. R. E. Kuser, chief pilot, to bring the plane down into a safe landing near the Cheshire Reform atory or in an open field were un- successful
 The flight had originated in Mi ami, and the plane was on the last leg, from La Guardia Field in New York to Boston, when it crashed.
 The plane ploughed into the earth in remote wooded area, ripping scores of trees to bits as it struck with terrific force. State police from all over Connecticut were mobilized.
 Eye witnesses saw the plane in flames over Cheshire and residents over wide area heard deafening noise as the airliner met it's tragic end.

President Sees Danger to Wages

Washington, Oct. g. UP) - President Truman said today there is a real danger of wages going down still further in terms of purchasing power. He said the Government is trying to stop this trend.
 MT. Truman made these com- ments in reply to 8 news con- ference question. He also read a statement pointing out the highlights in a report on the nations economic health by ReconverSion Chief John R. Steelman.
 The President said the Gov- ernment is doing everything it can to keep prices from going up-that is, everything it can possibly do with the tools avail able.

Hospital, the 75-year-old former Secretary of State, gravely ill from a stroke Monday night, clung to his life with the same determination that carried him to his greatest tri- umphs as statesman.
 But his age and the effects of two years of failing health length ened the odds against him, and the latest reports by his attending physicians were not encouraging.
 At mid afternoon yesterday, the hospital said there had been no marked change in his condition, then described as serious, and that he was not paralyzed,
 But at 10 F. M., came word that his condition had become critical and two hours later the doctors said it was still substantially the same.
 For his wife and his countless friends and admirers the world over, there was only faint hope that he would pull through. Mrs. Hull remained near, spending the night in an adjacent room at the hospital.
 Countless telegrams of encourage ment, including one from President Truman, piled up at the hospital alongside the many messages that were sent him to commemorate his 18th birthday anniversary yester- day.
