DRAFT BOARDS
 RECEIVE LISTS
Master Sheet Arrives !; Work of Arranging Reg-'
 istrants Well Advanced

Local draft boards today received master lists from state selectiva ser- vice headquarters. These contain the complete and final listings oi sequence numbers drawn last week at the national lottery in Washing ton, D. c.
 only about one-fourth of the numbers included in the lists, how ever, will be applicable here, the remainder being in excess of 234, highest number of registrants in any single local board. No. 30, the amount of capsules drawn at the national lottery, is the highest re- corded on the master lists. Those beyond the top number In any board will be discarded.
 When final order numbers for July 1st iegistrarltS are determined they will be integrated in varying proportions with the old registrants. Thus, order number 1 among the new, will be placed after the 14tii name in the combined list in board i5A, and the others arranged in the same ratio.
 It Is thought unlikely that any of the new group will be called for in- duction In the August 11th draft call, because of the fact that 1t will be necessary for them to answer Questionnaires and take physical ex- arninations before, becoming avail able for induction.
 This city has been asked to fur- nish 48 draftees for the August il call. The quota, according to boards, is as fololws: 15A, 25; 15B-- boards is as follows: 15A, 25; 15B-

"Eo long as our people remain opposed to 8 foreign war, just So long will we remain at peace with the world. But when 1t Is felt that our people are afraid to register their protests, or when it appears there is no longer any outspoken opposition to sending our men to die thousands of miles away from their homes, then and then only will our country be plunged into such a war" stated one of the committee members today.
 From all walks of life, from all sections of the city are coming tele- phone calls and inquiries concern ing the rally. It was pointed out to- day that the committee has made arrangements to seat all persons at- tending the rally.
 This should prove to be the most successful anti-war rally ever held in Waterbury.
 Plans for another gigantic open air rally have been completed and will be announced later.
 Tonight's rally marks the second such meeting that the committee has held in this city A few weeks ago Oswald Garrison Willard was the principal speaker. At that time the meeting was held in the Y. M. Q. A. and over 300 people attended.
 Because tonight's rally Is expect ed to attract s much larger au- dience 1t was decided to obtain the ballroom in The Elton, where hun. dreds of people can be seated within ease and in comfort.
 As one of the leaders of the corn- n1ittee put 1t today.
 Tt is far better that we hold such meetings, in order to register our sentiment against sending American men to die on foreign soil, than to allow our people to be quickly and silently plunged into the hell of another world war.
 Now we are asking the support of all of those mothers and fathers who have sons that might be called upon to die in such a war. We ask the support of every American who places the welfare of OUT people and the future of our great and glorious country first, last and all the time. We want no support from any per- son or from any group of persons who place the welfare of any other nation before the United States of America. We have never allowed facists OF communists or Nazists to join any of the America First chapters. We never shall.
 We insist that before any per- son can join the America First Committee they must be citizen of the United States, of good stand ing and possessing only one love of nation that love must be 100 per cent for America, said another leader of the organization today.

when SIlOulu yOu 0PCn tAAG NAA- ding with one club? In my opinion, when you have clubs. Unless you are using the artificial club bid, to show three and one-half honor tricks, 1t is often risky to bid one club "just to start the ball rolling"
 In today's hand, South has the sort of holding with which many players like to bid one club, in order to feel out the major suits. But this purpose is often defeated because the hand does not have enough strength for positive rebid.
 If North responds to one club with two no trump, what is South to bid next? Three spades Is risky, because 1t may give North an exaggerated Idea of the strength of Scuth's hand. ln both pattern and honor tricks. North may go on to 3 hopeless slam contract.

AGE LIMITATION
 SAVES WITNESS
Errichetti Changes Mind- Submits to Physical
 Examination

Charles E. Woodlock, chairman of selective service board 15-A, to- day said that he would recommend that charges brought against John Errichetti, local Jehovah Witness objector, be dropped.
 Charges were preferred against the "Witness", after he had re- fused to submit to the physical examination prescribed for draft registrarts. He was later taken into custody by local and federal police, and arraigned before U. s. Comsr. Robert E. Trevethan in Bridgeport. He was granted con- tinuance until July 23, and 1t was announced yesterday that an addi- tional continuance had been grant, ed until August 5.
 Yesterday afternoon, after he had apparently reconsidered, the youth who maintained that he was en- titled to class IV.D deferment ne- cause of his standing as a duly ordained minister of religion, took the physical examination.
 It was reported today that he had passed. but the likelihood of his being called for selective ser- vice duty Is regarded as remote. He Is beyond the 28-year maxi mum age limit, and for the pres- ent will receive a 30-day postpone ment. This will remain in effect until Congress takes action on the bill fixing the age limitation, now pending.
 MT. Woodlock today stated that his recommendation that proceed ings be dropped would be forward cd to Col. Ernest Ayerill in Hart ford, state selective service head. His classification will be determined later this week at a meeting of board l5-A. and 1t is considered certain that he will be classified in group TIA.
