Calexico in a game to be played in

On the basis OF past performances

much of a tossup. but making pre-
dictions in the outcome of high

ridiculing Hitler in Germany.
CaleXico will start the same

combination that bowed TO BraWley

Institutes Action ToHave Assessment
 Declared Null, Void
City Questions Status of Organization on School CIassi6catiOn- Plumbing Company Also Starts
 Suit for Reduction of Assessment on Property

Denying that the Board of As- sessors of the city of Waterbury has the right to levy taxes on its school property at 5S Spencer ave- nue, the Waterbury Workmen's Circle Schol, Inc, today filed a protest against the city of Water bury in superior court.
 The Board of Assessors of the city included the Workmen's Circle school in its grand list for 1940, as- sessing the property for $483.6O, which represents taxation on a total assessment of $l5,600.
 The school in claiming exemp- ton from such taxation, states that under the state statutes pro- viding exemptions for organizations engaged in scientific. educational, literary, historical 0 charitable purposes, all such institutions are not subject to taxation.
 City Corporation Counsel J. Greg ory Lynch, questioned this morning on the matter, said the city felt the school was not covered by the state laws permitting exemption. "At least we feel" said Mir. Lynch, that the question of whether or not the school is entitled to exemption ought to be decided by the courts. The school contends it uses the building for teaching purposes, but there is a doubt as to whether or not the building is used enough for

Telegram OF Protest
 Sent To Washington
Past Commander Hazel of Wilson Post De- nounces Discrimination Shown Against Color ed Draftees in Message to President
 Roosevelt.

A protest against the action of the Army in rejecting negro Se- lective Service inducteeS is made in a telegram sent to President Roosevelt by Joseph c. Hazel, past commander of William Wilson post, American Legion.
 MT. Hazel declares that refusal of the colored men constitutes ''unethical procedure" and he as- sails the announced plan of cal- ling for separate negro quotas.
 The text of MT. Hazel's wire to the President follows:
 "In the time of prosperity mak' our hearts full of thankfulness and in the time of trouble suffer not our trust in thee to fail"
 am sure, MT. president, you re- call this expression in your suc- cessful third term campaign. There are three other colored American Legion posts in Con- necticut besides William Wilson post of this city, of which I am the past commander.
 Therefore as commander-in- chief of the army, we pray fully request your immediate in- vestigation into the unethical pro- cedure of the war department in it's absurd violation of the selec- tive service act as regards colored volunteers and draftees, with ref erence to the illegal activities en- gagged in by commanding officers of the first corps area, located in Boston, in the calling of Negro quotas"
 We are observing what late Edi- tor Robert L. Vann of the Pitts burgh Courier" told us to be vatchful of several years ago.
