Advice Given on 150 Van*
eties of 49 Kinds of
I Vegetables
Storrs, Conn., Feb. 21 — The back
yard gardener who has decided what
kinds and varieties of vegetables he
expects to grow this year may wish
to check his selection against the
1945 list of vegetables considered
most satisfactory for Conencticut by
A. E. Wilkinson, vegetable specialist
of the Agricultural Extension Serv
ice, University of Connecticut. Re
cently completed, the list contains
over 150 varieties of 49 kinds of veg
etables, among them ten recently
developed varieties.
Only those which have been most
successful in Connecticut are in
cluded, and Professor Wilkinson has
indicated the ones he particularly
recommends for the home garden
because of their high quality. As
local seedsmen may not have all of
the varieties, especially as the sea
son progresses, he advises garden
ers to be willing to accept substi
tutes. Gardeners should place their
order early and indicate more than
one choice of each kind of vege
table as the supply of any one vari
ety may be limited.
Tfee ten recently developed var
ietie* recommended for Connecticut
are the Fordhook No. 242 bush lima
bean. Red Core Chantenay early
carrot, Ruby swiss chard, Full Heart
endive, Pride of Wisconsin mld-sea
aon musk melon, Dixie Queen water
melon, All American parsnip, Char
ter Oak late pepper, Milton red
raspberry, and Butternut squash.
The list of vegetable recommend
ations can be secured from any of
the county agricultural agents, or
by writing the Agricultural Exten
sion Service, University of Connec

NO DAMSECRETS
FOR OPA OFFICE
State Officials Want Light
on Reported Lamp, Lamp
shade Black Market
With the hope of throwing light
on a growing volume of complaints
that lamps and lampshades are
selling greatly In excess .of celling
prices, the state OPA said today It.
was ready to embark on a survey of
retailer establishments In all parts
of Connecticut.
It will also pay visits to manu
facturers and jobbers of lamps and
lampshades, the agency promised,
In an effort to ascertain the reasons
why householders have been asked
to pay 50 per cent or more above
the legal ceiling prices set by the
govmment.
The two-fold object of the drive
Is to roll back Inflated prices and
to protect honest dealers from the
encroachments of black market
competition, OPA asserted.
Manufacturers will be checked
particularly to see if they are giv
ing required discounts to Jobbers,
while jobbers and retailers will be
asked for the names of their sup
pliers In order that OPA may follow
up claims that overcharges begin at
I that level of transfer, It was re
vealed.
The highest price a retailer can
I charge for lamps and lampshades
is the highest price he charged dur
ing March, 1942, OPA explained.
If the lamps and lampshades now
in a retailer's stocks are not sim
ilar to any that he offered for saj"
during the base price period, he
must then take the price of his
closest competitor for the same or
a similar lamp or lampshade, the
agency added.

Hartford, Conn., Feb. 21.—(UP)—
Gov. Baldwin was expected to call
legislative leaders to a conference
today in an endeavor to break a
month-old deadlock over renewal of
his emergency war powers.
With one-third of the general
assembly sessions already gone with
out considering a major bill, the
governor was anxious to bring the
warring factions together for ap
proval of some sort of a compromise
which would allow the law-makers
to • settle down to normal busi

DUBOIS DISCUSSES
PENSION MEASURE
C. Arthur DuBois, chairman of
the dissolved legislative commission
which prepared a pension bill for
Waterbury now before the General
Assembly last night discussed tire
city’s pension system at the meet
ing of the Democratic Women’s
Booster club. Mr. DuBois has had
many requests in the past to out
line the bill before various civic
groups.
Mr. DuBois told of the functions
of his committee and of the vast
problems confronting the city as to
devising a pension bill which would
not prove burdensome.
At present the bill is being op
posed by means of two other Sim
ilar bills presented to the legisla
ture, one by a group of city em
ployes covering all employes and the
other by firemen and policemen of
the city. Former Lt. Gov. William
Haddon represents the local firemen
and policemen while Atty. John
Thoms represents the city employes.
War Problem
Parley Begun
Mexico City, Feb. 21—(UP)—The
Inter-American conference on prob
lems of war and peace opens today.
Official emphasis was on post-war
economic solidarity and reorganiza
tion of the Pan-American setup to
fit into the new world security
system.
Unofficially the Argentine prob
lem overshadowed all others—de
spite efforts to defer any consider
ation of it until other issues are
settled.
President Manuel Avila Camacho
formally opens the conference at 8
p. m. (ewtJ tonight with an address
in the Chamber of Deputies to the
delegates of 19 of the 21 American
republics. Argentina still is exclud
ed from the conference and El Sal
vador will not be represented until
her new government is inaugurated
on March 1.
Earlier in the day the heads of
the 19 delegations will meet at Cha
pultepec castle overlooking the city.
They will elect Mexican Foreign
Minister Ecequlel Padilla as chair
man of the conference, designate
four major committees, nominate
members for the committees, and
formulate rules and regulation* for
the conference.
U. S. Secretary of State Edward
R. stetttnlua, Jr, will speak tomor

«
ing up as result of the partisan
fight and that enough Democrats
might break away from the senate
leadership to join the Republican
minority and put through, a com
promise. •
Such a compromise has been of
fered by Republicans, with approval
of the governor. While it em
powers the governor to suspend any
laws in behalf of the war effort,
it permits the legislature to veto
the suspensions within ten days, if
they are found unacceptable.
Senate Democratic Leader Leon
Ris Cassi, Hartford .yesterday re
fused to consider this compromise,
claiming it was not being presented
in proper form.
Committee hearings on bills con
tinued, meanwhile. State Police
Commissioner Edward J. Hickey
asked the judiciary commitee to ap
prove a personnel increase from 275
to 300 officers, and from two to 12
policewomen.
The judiciary also was asked by
Rep. E. O. Smith, R., Mansfield, to
enact a bill which would allow the
general assembly to call Itself into
special session. Smith said the
state constitution gave the legisla
ture this right, but the general as
sembly virtually had relinquished
it to the executive.
“In case of an impeachment,”
he said, "no governor deserving im
peachment could be expected to call
the legislature into special session
for that purpose ”
The appropriations committee
heard budget request for $1,851,166
for the Southbury Training school;
$1,434,535 for the Mansfield State
Training school and hospital; $517,
603 for the state treasurer; $364,100
for the Department of Labor and
factory inspection, and $92,686 for
the social service division of the
Mansfield and Southbury schools.
Dry Groups
Back Curfew
Washington, Feb. 21.—OJP)—
Cafe society and the boys in the
back room may weep at the mid
night curfew on night life, but the
Anti-Saloon League and other dry
groups said today it was downright
wonderful.
They applauded Mobilization Di
rector James F. Byrnes for order
ing bars and other night spots to
shut down at midnight beginning
next Monday.
The drys said they didn't have
much hope that Byrnes’ edict her
alded an official trend toward out
right prohibition. But Dr. Ernest
H. Cherrington, executive secrclary
of the Methodist Board of Tem
perance, did think that the tem
perance situation was getting
brighter each day.
"The tendency to get beastly
drunk Is not as great as it used to
be,” he said.
