Monetary Parley Opens BrrUon Wood, II. IV) All but obscured by the fighting for the peace it is intended to implement, ihe United Nations monetary and financial conference opens today to plan the foundations for two new business houses on the world's main street. One is a $10,000,000,000 department store whose shelves would, be stocked only with dollars, pounds, rubles, yuan, francs and the other monies of the world and with a storage vault for nome $2,000,000,000 in bricht and shiny pold. The other is a $10,000,000,000 bank, patterned after this country's Reconstruction Finance Corp. To rromote Trade Together they are designed to promote world trade and prosperity and remove the causes of war.

The conference will convene late In the day to hear a message from President Roosevelt, to name Treasury Secretary Morgenthau its president and to chart the course of discussions that probably will last three weeks or more. On hand at thus swank and newly-refurbished resort are representatives of more than 40 other nations, including the French Committee of National Liberation. Their decisions the first sought on a world-wide ecale since the 1933 London monetary and economic conference will go before each government for approval or rejection. Would Be Expanded Later The projected department store, more formally designated as an international monetary fund, would he set up at the start as an project, later to be expanded by opening- its doors to the nations now neutral or at war with iis. Its purpose would be to assign frold values to the various monies end then by buying and 6elling them at stabilized rates, provide each country with the foreign exchange it needs to pay its current bills abroad.

Tire Inner Tubes Stricken from Rationing List Washington (JP) The Office of Price Administration yesterday ordered the removal from rationing of all tire inner tubes, effective today. It also announced that a total of 3,900,000 new passenger car tires have been allocated for rationing in July and August, an increase of 50,000 tires in both months over the June quota.

Inner tube inventories are now sufficiently large to supply the needs of nil motorists, OTA said in eliminating the requirement for rationing certificates. Tubes were brought under rationing in January, 1942, along with tires. The agency also disclosed that an additional allocation of POO.OOO new passenger car tires was provided by the office of the rubber director in June, bringing the total quota to 1,900,000 tires. For each July and August the allocation is 1,950,000 tires. Blue Lights Cause Taxpayers' Blues Plainfleld's bill for maintaining those "royal blue" lights over lire alrvrm boxes is going to increase $318.

f0 per year and the tnxpnycr can blame the War Production Board for this increased cost in municipal upkeep, it was pointed out today. At least that's the way Councilman Allen R. Bonorden feels and, as a result, a letter is being written to the WPB asserting that this is "just one example of how that board's rulings affects municipalities and individual taxes in unexpected ways." Here's how it works out in Plain-field: Ihe city has been using what is known as a 320 lumin lamp over the fire alarm boxes. Now, it is told by the Public Service Corporation, these bulbs are no longer available because ftic WPB stopped the production of this type lamp. The next best bet is a much more powerful 600 lumin lamp, which will cost the city over $o00 additional per year to maintain.

The 320s cannot be obtained, so the city ha-s no choice except to use the larger, more powerful and more expensive lamps as replacements when the smaller ones burn out. Bicycles Collide; Two Hoys Injured Two boys were involved bicycle accident Thursday in a night. One was treated in Muhlenberg Hospital for a fractured left arm and the other for eye injuries.

SCIENCE Husband's Cruelty On Honeymoon Leads to Divorce Elizabeth Burcan of Th Courinr-Newi Elizabeth Mrs. Amanda Kather-ine Healey, 996 Central Plain-field, mother of five children by a previous marriage yesterday was granted a decree of divorce by Advisory Master Dougal Herr in Chan cery Court. Defendant was Charles Joseph Healey, 33, defense worker, Victory Hotel, 326 Central Plainfield. Mrs. Healey's first husband, Jacobus Van der Woude, captain of a tanker, lost his life at sea in April, 1942.

She married Healey June 12, 1943, and testimony was that he was extremely cruel while they were on their honeymoon in the Cntsklll Mountains. This type of treatment continued until October, Mrs. Hea ley said, when she wa compelled to separate from him. The petitioner explained that In order to maintain her family since the death of her first husband, she had operated a boarding house at the Central Ave. address, and that she allowed Healey to make his home there.

It was brought out that Healey was arrested on his wife's complaint aa a disorderly person and was given a 30-day suspended sentence in Plainfield police court. A daughter, Mrs. Cecelia Tlce, at home, was her mother's only witness. Miron M. Walley, Plainfield, represented Mrs.

Healey. Firemen Honor Veteran Firefighter Middlesex Edward Fellows, Beechwood who observed his 70th birthday Thursday, was feted by the American Hose and Engine Company No. 2 and Auxiliary of Bound Brook Thursday evening in the firehouse.

That was in 1891 when Fellows became a charter member of the organization. Approximately 25 persons were present at the affair in honor of Fellows, the oldest fireman in the Bound Brook Fire Department. Also a member of the Bound Brook Exempt Firemen's Association for the past 45 years, Fellows is on the active exempt list. Lightning Hits School Metuchen Liehtninsr knocked down a small brick and stone cor-1 nice at the southwest corner of the Edgar School building here during the height of Thursday's storm. Elmo E.

Spoerl, supervising principal, said the bolt apparently caused no other damage. HOME FROM HOSPITAL Middlesex Kenneth and James PndersoU, 13 and 10-year old sons of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Pederson, 345 Union have returned from Middlesex General Hospital, New Biunswick, where they underwent tonsillectomies Wednesday. i No One-Man Party One of the things the governor made clear was that under his leadership the Republican party would not be a one-man party.

Governor Dewey showed that he believes in organization. He told of his plans to consult with en-ch individual member of the Republican National Committee, each state chairman and vice-chairman before he leaves Chicago and returns to Albany to complete his organization for the campaign. Dewey said he wanted the views of all the men and women in the Republican organization and repeatedly made it a point that before the campaign was launched he and Gov. John W. Bricker of Ohio, his running mate, would agree on the plan of attack.

Asked if he would meet with Wendell L. Willkie, the 1940 GOP Presidential nominee, Dewey said he would welcome consultation with Willkie and other party leaders. Accord Essential Dewey realizes that only through mutual agreement in the Republican organization can the party defeat President Roonevelt in a fourth term. The trouble with the Republicans in the past four campaigns has been that the candidate and factions in the organization were in disagreement. Emphasis was given by Dewey to the fact that the convention was a "completely unbossed, free conven tion" which reached its own decisions on candidates and policies adopted in the platform.

In this, the governor was correct. While there was little fanfare at the convention, the Republicans did the best job they have done in many years. They came to Chicago, drafted their platform and elected a strong ticket, saw, heard and approved both their selections and adjourned within three days. To Remain Governor Dewey made it clea-r that he was going to remain chief executive of New York during the campaign. This was in answer to a questioner of pro-New Deal leanings, whose intention was to put the governor on the spot.

Dewey could have said that no one expected Roosevelt to resign as President to conduct his fourth-term campaign. Explains Length Dewey said he had read the pla-t-form twice, both times hastily. He approved his understanding of the document, and went on to explain that platforms are written by men of different views and therefore must be compromises and therefore become lengthy. This, he added, was the democratic way. Many subjects in which the Republican party are interested, he said, were not included because of length.

No isecracks In contrast President Roosevelt, noted for his clever wisecracks and evasiveness at press conferences, Dewey either answered questions propounded or told the questioner he did not care to answer the question. His manner was direct and to the point and he appeared to enjoy the hour-long session, despite the fact that photographers, seeking to sneak pictures after he had posed for a quarter df an hour, bothered him. Dewey told one photographer that it was not fair for hfm to take a picture after all the other boys had Jretlied. Union Services He Ill Tomorrow in Dtinellen Dunellen Union services for congregations of the First Presbyterian and First Methodist Churches will begin tomorrow when the joint services will be held in the First Presbyterian Church at 11 a. m.
