Stomfordites InviteU UNIn

Stamford, Oct. 24-(UP)-Citizens of Stamford-a good many of them, at least-have changed their mind about not wanting the United Ma tions world headquarters located here, asd have voted at special town meeting to hang out the "wel- come" sign again.
 Earlier this year both Stamford and adjoining Greenwch told the LIN they weren't interested, despite the fact this area had been selected as most desirable site, and the state had special commission working on the project.
 The LIN headquarters site group pulled up stakes and went into Westchester, N. Y., County, to look over five prospective locations.
 News, drifted back to Stamford that Westchester County was only luke-warm about it, so the Stamford Citizens Committee to Welcome the United Nations got busy again and had a special town meeting called to call the LIN back for recon sideration. The vote last night was 315 to 183 in favor of the invitation. Principal objection came from the rural districts of the town, were the headquarters would be located if, and when it decided on the Stamford site.

 II Misbronding, II Sole Offer Counts

A recess until 2 P. M. was de- clared in the City Court trial to- day of Gabriel Criscuolo, A, of q Olivia Street, Derby. The defend- ant is charged with II counts Of misbranding cooking oil, and Il counts of offering the oil for sale.
 Following lengthy trial before Judge Charles R. Summa, the re- cess was declared after Defense Attorney Harold B. Yodkin of Derby placed witnesses on the stand to show that the cooking oil in- volved was harmless. Earlier, AL phonse Wickroski, 8 chemist with the Connecticut State Agriculture Experimentation Station in New Haven, testified that an analysis of the confscated oil disclosed that 1t was harmless.
 He testified that the oil was either that of corn or soy bean, and con- tained artificial color and flavor. Referred to as "adulterated" oil by the chemist, it was misrepresented as to weight on the label the man said. He told the court that the one gallon can he examined was 8.7 ounces short.
 According to testimony, the oil was purchased by the defendant in New York City. The defendant de- nied that he intended to sell it. Through his attorney it was dis closed that Criscuolo bought the oil for his own personal use.
 The man was arrested in the East End Sept. 21 by Motor Patrolman Anthony Lombardo. The officer told the court that he found II, one gallon cans of Roberts Oil in card board cartons in the rear of the mans car. The accused, according to the officers testimony, was talk ing the oil to the rear of firehouse where he was to meet mysterious Nick"
 Questioned by Inspector George Sullivan of the State Dairy Fooe Commission, the accused said tha' the oil was bought at $4.23 gallor in New York. The Inspector sale that the price was in excess "ol that paid for oil of that type There was no manufacturer's name on the label, the Inspector said.
 "Nicks" place in the defendants story had not been entirely cleared when recess was declared at noon today. Thic afternoons session, eX- pected to be lengthy, was expected to clear up the matter as well as that of a complicated legal ques,, tion involving the violation o1 intra- and inter-commerce laws.

ONLY A STARTER

There is at least some satisfaction to be taken from the action of the Senate conerees in accepting virtually intact the bill designed to curb the de- nands powers and edicts of James C. Petrillo pres- dent of the American Federation of Musicians. It shows that Congress the courage to curb at least a few union practices when they become intolerable
 But the bill reflects just about the minimum cour- age to do anything at all It ridculously narrow in it's scope as to be in effect discriminatory It makes it unlawful for example, by the of implied threat of force violence intimidation to or compel
 radio censee employ, in connection with the con- duct of the broadcasting business any persons in excess number needed perform actual services or to pay more than for services performed or to pay any money in lieu of giving employment.
 Consider some of the implications of this. By making it unlawful to force or violence for the very specific purpose of compelling the employment of unneeded workers the bill implies that is perfectly legal to use force violence for any number of other union purposes By making it unlawful to force or violence for the still specific purpose of com polling the employment of unneeded workers only in the broadcastg business it implies that it is perfectly legal to force violence to compel the employment of unneeded workers in any other business.
 W Yet the Lea bill is courage itself when compared with the broader labor bill recently framed by the Senate Labor Committee. Both pieces of proposed legislation illustrate the complete unwingness of Congress to deal with first principles in connection with labor matters. Both illustrate its tendency to deal with consequences instead of with causes If.
 instead of merely trying to curb few of MT Petrilos specific abuses of power Congress asked itself how he to have much irresponsible power to abuse and what it had itself done to contribute to that

POLITICS IN THE DESERT

The wide-open spaces of New Mexico are about to see the most turbulent political fight in years with three colorful figures battling for the U. s. Senate.
 Governor Jack Dempsey (no re- lation to the boxer) who jumped from Brooklyn subway brakeman to New Mexican politician, has fin ally decided to enter the race. He will oppose Senator Dennis Chavez in the Democratic primaries.
 Whoever wins will then have to cross swords with grandstanding Patrick J. Hurley, eX-Secretary of War, ex-Ambassador to China, and the man who breathed fire down the back of the State Department regarding allegedly pink diplo- mats In the end, the Senate made Hurley look a trifle red in the face himself
 A former Oklahoma lawyer, Hur- ley has been itching to get back into politics, and about two years ago took up residence in New Mex leo with that in view. That state long has been considered a happy hunting ground for disappointed politicians wno lost out back East.
 Jack Dempsey, though of Brook lyn origin, has been successfully gyrating through New Mexican politics fer two decades. He was lone Congressman from New Mex ico, later Under Secretary of the Interior, then Governor During this time he built up his own ma chine; and he will need it to buck Senator Chavez who, as author C.. the Fair Employment Practices Act, has endeared himself to Span ish residents of New Mexico. Note-Chavez also has hit, the all-time high for putting relatives on. the Government payroll.

HEART AND HOME

HEART AND HOME Under this configuration boys and girls of high school age are espec- 'ially favored. Many require the sympathetic counsel of their par ents who will find man-to-man honesty better than condescanding subtlety.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS This is & good date on which to review ones investments and plan changes. Reasonably sure small dividends are to be preferred to the risks of get-rich- quick schemes
 NATIONAL ISSUES Politics and high construction costs will combine to deprive some sections of the country of the mod ern type of highway now common in the East and without which an area must be seriously handicapped. Costs of construction soon will be more than 60 percent higher than before the war in some localities.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS # The present lack of mutual ad- miration and friendliness between the United States and France is strictly temporary. France is fight ing for survival and many of its enemies are within its own bord- CTS. She needs the friendship of the U. S. and will have it.
