Important Ruling On
 Benefits Filed Here
Mrs. Margaret VerdOn, Commissioner, Rules Local
 Man EmpIOye Of Fuller Brush Co., Not Contractor

An important decision affecting the unemployment status of house. toulouse canvaSsers acting as sales men rather than as independent contractors, was today issued by Mrs. Margaret verdon, Unemploy- ment Commissioner for the 5th Con- gressional District at Waterbury.
 The decision, permitting benefits to Charles R. Butler of 193 Wolcott street, as an employe rather than an independent contractor for the Fuller Brush Company of Hartford, will affect hundreds, and possibly thousands of saleSmen throughout Connecticut.
 In commenting on the decision, Miss Verdon states in part:
 MT. Butler worked both as & dealer and field manager in the Fuller organization. The Fuller Brush Company paid contributions to the State of Connecticut on Buffers earnings as field man. ager, and admitted that so far as his managerial duties were con- cerned he was an employe, how ever, they did not pay contribu- tiorls to the State on his earnings as dealer, inasmuch as they al- legged that while acting as dealer he was not an employe but was conducting his own business. When the claimant severed his connec- tion with the company, he regist- cred at the State Employment of flee, and filed a claim for Unem-

DEBATE ARRANGED
 ON BILL NO. l776
Lease=Lend Measure To Be Argued By C.Y.O. Teams
 Tomorrow Night

The leaSe-1end bill will be debated tomorrow night by the Catholic Youth organization debating teams representing St. Margaret and the Sacred Heart Parish team in a Knights of Columbus city-wide tour nament meet at Columbus hall.
 The question was assigned to the teams some weeks ago when the House of Representatives was con- sidering the bill in its preliminary stages, but with the bill now be- fore the Senate, the young debaters will have more recent arguments to use.
 The third round of the tourna- ment will be held next week by the St. Francis and St. Cecilia's teams.
 The winners of the Sacred Hearts and St. Margaret's clash will com- pete with the Church of the Immac- ulate Conception debaters and St. Joseph's team. The finals may be held as feature fo the Knights of Columbus observance of Founders Week, marking the 59th anniversary of the foundation of the society.

CTS too weary to do more f than take stock of the beat
 ing received.
 For the first Sunday in centuries no church services were held. Either ] no churches were left standing or else there were no congregations. In several instances there were no ministers to preach the sermons. Instead there was the pathetic sight of refugees trekking slowly out of the city and up through the coal valleys. Carrying bedding, pushing small baby buggies jam med to overflowing with few re- maining possessions salvaged from what was once their homes. Some headed for temporary rest camps in the upper valleys. Others pushed further back into the fastnesses of
 the great Welsh coalfields where
 they could get refuge with relatives.
 UNFORGETTABLY
 TRAGIC SPECTACLE
 Fifty miles from Swansea on a lonely Welsh mountain plateau I
 saw the first exodus from this strick-
 en city. It was a family of three re- turning home in pine boxes. The
 hearse stuck in bank and, as the driver dug the wheels free, he said it was the first time in many years this family had left their village to visit relatives in Swansea. All were killed the first night, when bombs dropped were mostly high explosives.

ployment Compensation Benefits, but the Examiner denied benefits on the ground that the claimant as dealer was not an employe Of the Company. The claimant ac- cordingly appealed to Commission CT Verdon for hearing in the matter.
 Under Section 1334e (a) CD of the Connecticut Unemployment Act, employment" is defined as "any service .. performed under any express or implied contract of hire creating the relationship of master and servant" The. Com missioner ruled that the claimant was not exempt from this defini- ton of employment. She found that he performed services for the Fuller Brush Company, that there existed in the Company the right to control the claimant in the per- formance of these services, that the Company in fact exercised this right to control, and that the re- lationship therefore between the claimant and the company was that of employer and employe, within the meaning of the Con- necticut Unemployment Compen- Sation Act.

 HARDENED FIREMEN
 BECOME EXHAUSTED Most of the streets in the blitzed area are as deserted as some Ariz- ona ghost town. In fact, that is what it reminded me of when the ambulance bells stopped changing and fire-fghting ceased. After the injured had all been removed to the hospital and the flames check ed, firemen literally fell asleep in their tracks exhausted by three nights of heart-and-body breaking toll. Occasionally you stumbled a. cross a fire crew of three sound a. sleep, their backs propped against a mound of bricks.
 Here and there you would see a man picking his way around bomb craters over trubble to the spot where his store had once stood But he didn't finger long. because that pile of masonry and twisted steel was to him too depressing a sight. He would merely take a last look, then turn to make his way back to the military barriers to re- join his wife.
 Always they went up the street with a slow shuffie, hardly caring at the moment whether more bombs fell or not.
 Derek Gabriel, aged five. cared though. He asked me: "Will Jesus keep the bombs away today?'
