Consolidated Edison Co. over In
stallations in a new power plant.
Union representatives said ad
vertisers had voiced no objection to
the demonstration. Some advertis

union that they were taking no part
in the controversy.

Plant Working on Defense Made Helpless
As 300 of Its Precision Tools Are Stolen
Bj the Associated Press.
DETROIT, Aug. 4.—A tool-making
plant concentrating on defense work
was virtually helpless today because
of theft of its precision instruments
and a company official said he sus
pects sabotage.
Thieves entered the Majestic Tool
fz Manufacturing Corp. plant early
Sunday, tied up the night watch
man. ransacked cabinets and tool
boxes and stole between 300 and
400 micrometers as well as Gill
blocks and other precision instru
ments.
"This raid on our plant appears
to be more than just an every-day
robbery,” said John W. Parker,
corporation president. "It looks
more like the work of saboteurs."
The company is working on tool
orders for the Frankfort arsenal at
Brldesburg. Pa., and the Springfield
(Mass.) arsenal and also has tool
ing orders from automobile plants
engaged in defense production.
The same thieve* were believed
to have entered the Central Ma
chine Co. later in the hours before
dawn Sunday. Precision instru
ments also were taken there after
the night watchman had been
tied up.
Most of the instruments taken
from the Majestic Co. were stolen
from tool boxes owned by the 120
mechanics and toolmakers employed
at the plant. Several sets ot mas
ter micrometers owned by the com
pany also were stolen.
"Such things as micrometers are
practically priceless now because
it is almost impossible to purchase
them," Mr. Parker said. "Without
them we are almost helples* to
continue production.”
Night watchmen at both of the
.plants said the thieves opened the
doors with keys. “The men seemed
to know just where to look for the
micrometers and they did not seem
excited They worked fast, but it
took them more than an hour to
go through all the tool boxes," one
of the night watchmen aaid.

Texas.” Other prominent Govern
ment officials already have furnished
her with lists of their favorites.
Eighty-two old favorites will be
included on the song sheets to be
handed out tonight. Ten men have
spent more than a week orchestrat
ing these to the National Symphony

An Inspection NOW May Mean Very Substantial Savings
in the Cost of Heating Your Home Next Winter!
Hare Are Tha
Monay-Saving Facts —
More than half the oil burner* will be six
year* old, or older this year. Since even the
newest equipment benefit* by minor adjust
ments after a season of operation, it stands
to reason that a tremendous saving can be
effected on the older burners. The Federal
Housing Authority, and the Dept, of Agri
culture have proved that it is now possible
to make scientific tests of oil-heating instal
lations, with the aid of modern instruments,

then make indicated adjustments to burners
that are still in operating condition, and
cut the average home oil consumption
at least 205e or more!
You Can Savo an Extra
Tank of Fuol Oil in Your
Own Collar—
If your oil burner is in average condition and
is tested and conditioned to government
standard efficiency, the oil savings should
total approximately 250 gallons . . . equiva
lent to the total capacity of one average resi
dential fuel oil tank. So. in addition to saving
money, you will have the double satisfaction
of doing your part to cooperate with U. S.
defense needs. You can still maintain the
healthful temperature you desire in your
home all winter. But the first step is to have
a Defense Economy Test and adjustment of
your oil burner in advance of the heating
season.
Tho Government Is Doing
All in Its Power to
Assure Heat for Your Home —
e
Harold L. Ickes, Petroleum Coordinator for
National Defense, recently stated he was pri
marily concerned with getting oil into
homes, so people can keep warm next winter.
However, the government has the right to
except that you do your part by avoiding
waste through increasing the efficiency of
your heating equipment.
Oil Prices Art
Being Controlled —
Leon Henderson. Administrator of the Office
of Price Administration and Civilian Sup
ply, has instructed refiners and marketers of
petroleum products not to make any further
advarices in prices except "when this office
has been given reasonable advance notice,
and also has had the time to study the pro
posed increase on the basis of appropriate
data indicating that costs of operation have
increased.” Your government and the oil
industry axe collaborating to avoid rising
prices.
Get the Greatest Efficiency
Out of Your Heating Equip
ment . . . Ask for Inspection
NOW
Perhaps you are one of those thrifty, far
sighted people who insist upon an annual
inspection of your oil burner ... if so you
will surely cooperate and ask your friends to
do likewise. But if you have never appre
ciated the economy of regular inspection, be
assured that a pleasant surprise awaits you in
the form of fuel savings . . . money in your
pocket, that more than offsets the normally
slight adjustments needed to bring your
up to prescribed Government
efficiency. The average home
can expect to save more than a FULL TASK
OF OIL DURISG OSE HEAT1SG SEA
SON! Whether your burner is new or old,
it will pay you to invite this scientific in
spection.
WILL YOU COOPERATE FOR A DEFENSE ECONOMY TEST?
L
Trained heating experts with modern testing instruments will thoroughly check and
analyze every detail of your oil heating system, and provide you with a detailed report
!of any adjustments or repairs needed. In cooperation with the Government, The Oil
Heating Industry has pledged itself to make any necessary adjustments and repairs at
the lowest possihle cost—many systems can be greatly improved by simple adjustments
of existing equipment. Call your dealer today to discover how efficiently your heating
plant is operating and what you can do to improve its efficiency. •
