The spokesman said Lewis' statement told, of trading cigarettes for cameras and lenses. In Newark, Joseph H. Warnor an attorney who said he was a spokesman for the father, said the elder Warner asserted: "I absolutely deny any knowledge of these activities. When I am informed of the charges, I may have something to say." The father earlier called the charges "ludicrous" and locked himself into his two-room apartment In New York, refusing tq talk to anyone. for presentation to the public as the general outline of objectives for the campaign.

The charter was presented by Thomas H. Chunn, national adjutant, and received by William Ganter, commander of the new Alton post. On the after-dinner program were J.

Shepard pastor of First Christian Church The dinner was served by DeMolay Mothers. Chunn recited the history of llobal War Veterans, and its aims fie said In part: "During our first two years, our organization has grown practically )y word of mouth, to the point that he membership roster represents 23 states and chapters. Before at- empting to form an organization on a national basis, we should have had $100,000 to start with, but instead we had just $21. The Global- aires have literally pulled themselves up by their bootstraps. "During our first three years, our organization has assumed a middle-of-the-road policy.

We had hoped that one great veterans' organization would be formed to represent the veteran serving in the global war, but I am now convinced that it will be most impossible. I had hoped that en organization could be formed which would take into consideration the problems of TUESDAY. AUGUST 13, 194( both capital and labor I believe it is time to choose sides. Therefore, I hope the delegates will adopt a platform at the 1946 convention that will go all out to preserve our free enterprise system of government, fight the labor dictators, abolish OPA, except for rent control, free business from government red tape, insofar as it is practical to do so, oppose any group advocating socialism or any other un- American ism. "Any problems of veterans which the "Ernie Pyle Post" feels should be taken up at the 1946 convention, we hope the post will formally adopt resolutions advocating any improvements that should be made for transmitdl to the Veterans Administration, War Chest Administration, or to the Congress."

Cockroaches will eat practically anything, including paint, and like is doing a good job if repeat orders from satisfied customers anc orders from new customers are indicative of success. It was three weeks ago that a woman brought her three ties am asked her to paint them for her three sons. Miss Walker had long promised her she would paint ties for the boys, only she hadn't gotten around to it.

Now the ties were in her hands and she began painting. Before they were finished, orders came for more. Now she has taken space in the Paul Mitchell music studio on Broadway and devotes her whole time to art. Some lies are painted, by request, to depict the hobby of the wearer, some his avocation, and others are ships on a sea, dragons, waterfalls, or pastoral scenes.

She has developed a technique of employing color which her instructor at Washington University has urged her to continue.

Terminal's Water Supply Interrupted Passengers" at the Illinois lermlnal ticket office at the foot of Piasa have been without water facilities in the last few dnys while construction gang ot the Russell-Miller mill building site resets the water main nt the foot of State. The nearest comfort station is at Riverside Park. Another difficulty the Terminal's water supply was ironed out Sunday and Monday morning by the Alton Water which supplied water for locomotives from a hydrant at the foot of Henry. About 1200 foot of new water main was installed on Cut street at Federal and the water supply at the Terminal's roundhouse was briefly interrupted. But with hose borrowed from the Alton fire department, the locomotives were supplied with water and subsequently, regular water service was resumed.

Sewer Project at W. River Outlined Fee Plan for Financing Explained WOOD RIVER, Aug. in the outlying districts feel left out now, but if we include all of Wood River in the new sewer plan, we'll bring those people 'back to the city'," Mayor Lavier Humphrey told the City Council, Monday night. C. H.

Sheppard, Alton engineer, presented preliminary drafts of the proposed Wood River sewer, old the council that plans included he entire City of Wood River, and should every vacant lot in the city by improved, the new sewer would irovide service for every resident. Though Sheppard told the council he thought it would be econom- cally wise to make use of present ducts in connection with the new sewer, he said that as he had planned the project, all sections of the city would benefit by the new drainage system. In one section, west of the Old St. Louis road, beyond Wood River Planing Mill, Sheppard recommended that present surface drainage be maintained. In all sections of the city served at present by sewers, but overloaded, Sh'eppard told the council that he intended to make relief of the overload to the new sewer, but maintain the old one.

In speaking of financing the pro- ect, the major plan mentioned was float a bond issue, to be retired by a sewer rental assessed as part of city water bills. To equalize the cost as much as possible, the council spoke of charging both a flat for a lateral, and also a "tap fee" for residents who will be paying for a sewer for the first time. In some sections of the city, residents have already paid assessments against their property for sewers. Mayor Humphrey he will make moving pictures of the sewer plans and gather data for exhibition of the project in all sections of the city. Discussing provisions made for the west end of the city, Humphrey asked that the area west of Welcott avenue between Ferguson and Evans be considered, since the mayor said the territory will) be annexed to the city by next meet- Ing night, if legal work can be completed by that time.

Both Sheppard and Humphrey said that should the Wood River sewer project be termed "adequate" by United States Army engineers, it may be included in pert in the Wood River levee project. The levee project would include a pumping station large enough to take carp of a seven-Inch sewer for the city. Three pumping units' would be provided along with the new sewer system for handling the sewer load. The stations would be staged as to capacity to handle various flows of water, from dry-weather flow, to extreme storm conditions. Sheppard will now start work on blue-printing of the project, after which on estimate of cost may be made.

The council hopes to have costs and plans ready for a city election in November. Contour maps, shown by the engineer proved the lowest spot In Wood River, outside of Benbow addition, to be at the corner of First and Madison, where the elevation is 100 feel, while highest spots are on Penning, between Second and Third, and on Lorena, near Second, each wiih 120 foot levels. Attending the meeting, in addition to Humphrey and Sheppard, were Aldermen Mallory, Stassi, Ford, DeWitl, and Kasten, City Clerk Howard, City Engineer Stevens, and City Attorney Manning.

Fire Chief Lewis was given the ''go light" by aldermen at the city finance committee session, Monday, on his plans to attend the 4-day firemens' convention at Quincy early in October. Lewis said that he wants to secure full information on three matters of importance to the Alton department, all of which he finds are to be discussed by authoritative speakers at the coming meeting. First he is interested in the possibility that the city may be able to secure federal payments towards salaries of some newly appointed firemen who are war veterans if it provides a suitable training course for them in connection with, their employment. This government on-the-job training heretofore has been available in big cities, which have regular schools for their firemen, he "said, but it now appears the plan is to be liberalized so the smaller cities with good fire departments will be povered.

A federal department representative is to give details at the convention. Lewis estimated payments to the city might as much as half the pay of war-veteran firemen. Also to be discussed, said Lewis, is proposed pension legislation to be submitted at the next session of the legislature through report of a governor's committee. Third, he said, is a state plan whereby cities near state institutions might have loan of fire apparatus and. equipment supplied by the state if they would agree, in return, to fight any fires at state institutions.

The idea is that the city departments will keep the equipment In good condition for use at all times, whereas if kept at the state institutions, it tends to deteriorate because it falls into neglect through its infrequent usage. "Alton under its present ordinance governing fire department calls out of the city," said Lewis, "stands ready at all times to respond with its own equipment to any alarms from Alton State Hos- Wit nesses Rap Meat Control Price Board Ponders Re storing Curbs By EDWIN B. HAAKINSON WASHINGTON, Aug. 13. UP) The sizzling controversy over pric ceilings shifted to steaks today.

The 'subject of all meats, livestock and livestock products cam before the price decontrol board fo argument whether ceilings shouli be restored one week from tomor row. A. A. Smith of Sterling, a vice president of the American National Livestock Association, wa the lead-off witness for the seconc. day of heariifes before the new agency given final say over wha OPA may and may not keep unde price Waiting to follow Smith was a long list of farmers, livestock pro ducers, packers and others who op pose any return to ceilings.

Later In the day, the three-man board will hear the other side the case from organized labor anc consumer groups spokesmen, mos of whom told earlier congressiona hearings they wanted OPA kep intact. Already, however, both sides ap peared agreed on one main point: That whatever the board about one of the categories now up for meats, dairy products, cottonseed and soybeans may have to reach the same decision for the others. This idea emerged from test! mony yesterday by 22 differen witnesses regarding ceilings for grains. Seven witnesses for consumer, labor, veterans and one industrial group urged a return of controls. Fifteen men appearing for farm and business associations vigorously protested against allowing ceilings to be restored Aug.

21 But nearly all agreed that if the lid is to stay off grains and livestock and poultry feeds, then meats milk, butter and other products dependent upon grains and feed also should be freed. Most of the farm and trade witnesses forecast black markets poor distribution, and even hoarding if ceilings are restored. However, A. E. Lyon, appearing as a representative of railroad labor unions, told the board its priae control hearings actually are the largest wage arbitration case ever conducted because "every price increase is a wage cut." Unless prices are controlled, he asserted, "it is doubtful that anyone will be able to prevent wildcat strikes in protest." But just as did most of the other witnesses, Lyon agreed that "If one is decontrolled, they all should be decontrolled." Mother's Jest of Shooting Herself Ends in Death pital.

Hence the new plan, now being considered by the state, might be of advantage to Alton which would incur little more obligation than it already, has voluntarily undertaken to assume, and on the other hand would be loaned equipment that would serve-its own needs within the city." Briefly discussed by the committee, pending report by the police committee Wednesday, is a proposal that present police cars be traded for three new ones. Police Chief Barkley reported the three present cars have run 70,000 to 80,000 miles, being a little more than two years in service, and that repair costs are becoming excessive. City Comptroller Molrow suggested plans used in some other cities might be followed if bids on cars are asked; namely to take alternative proposals on furnishing and maintaining new cars, or on leasing new cars on a mileage basis.

13 A mother's death today was attributed indirectly by Coroner Rees Turner to her off-hand remark made in jest. Coroner Turner gave this version of the deadly by-play: "I'm so tired that if I had a gun I would shoot myself," laughed Mrs. Florence McCreary, 49, as she talked with a neighbor in her nearby New Haven home. Her son, Wilmer Lucian, 8, overheard, brought a shotgun from another room and, as he handed her the weapon, remarked jokingly: "Here's the gun, mother; go ahead and shoot yourself." In handing her the weapon, its hammer accidentally hit a radio and the resultant charge entered her left side at close range. Mrs.

McCreary died in an Eldorado, hospital last night.
