are convertible to coal, do not pa- preciate the seriousness of the fuel oil shortage" Bowles added. Nor do they seem to realize fully that with the reduction in available oil
 many people are going to feel cold this winter. Therefore, I urge every landlord who furnishes heat to his tenants by the use of oil to give serious consideration to this OPA plan for conversion. And I urge every tenant to work out a financial arrangement with his landlord that is mutually satisfactory.
 Under the amendment, land- lord and tenant may enter an agree ment to share the cost of changing a furnace from fuel oil to coal. When the arrangement is completed, the landlord is required to submit terms of the agreement to the rent director who may approve it, or, within five days, register his disapproval. The
 landyord may carry out this agree ment with his tenant if it is not disapproved by the rent director within five days.
 Attendant is not obligated under the amendment to enter into any such arrangement with his landlord, but if he does agree to share the cost of conversion, he will be ex- pected to fulfill his part of the con- tract. The agreement may be worked out so that the tenant can pay his share of the conversion expense over period of time. For example, if the job costs $70, the sum might be split equally between the land- lord and tenant, $500 a month be- ing attached to the rental for period of seven months.
 Emphasizing the importance of changing over oil burning equip ment to coal wherever this is pos sible, Bowles asserted: Everyone krows that there is a serious fuel oil shortage in this part of the country. No one will receive as much oil for heating purposes this year as he was able to obtain last year. In general, apartment houses will receive only two-thirds as much oil as they would use in a normal winter. When You realize also that Connecticut has been placed in Zone B, regarded as the second coldest region in the country, it is obvious that great many people will be uncomfortable this winter if they reply on oil heat. That is why we are urging landlords and tenants to get together on the conversion pro- gram immediately and work out some mutually agreeable plan.'

Union To Ar1slUer
 Priest-Harris

The following statement was issued this morning by Don Harris, international represen- tative of the CLOS Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers Union on behalf of members of the unions organizing staff here and on behalf of officers of the Chase Brass & Copper Work CTS unit of that union: For tunately for the welfare of our union membership throughout the nation, the outcome of the current election of officers does not hinge on the action or public statements of an indivi- dual member of the Wa .erbury clergy. Father DOnnelly is not an issue or a figure in our unions election, despite his Ob- vious desire to become such.
 "Fo1lowing the election of it's officers by the union member ship, appropriate action will be taken to answer him, and to once and for all determine the actual reason for his interfer- ence in the elections of an in- ternational union of the CIO."

Few Take Advantage Of Rights To Share
 Cost Of Alteration
Extra Payments Equivalent to Increase in Legal Rent of Changing Over Oil Furnaces to Coal

Despite the fuel oil emergency few landlords and tenants are taking advantage of the recent amendment to the recent regulations permitting them to share the cost of converting oil burning furnaces to coal, according to report made to Chester Bowles, State OPA director by the five defense rental area di- rectors.
 Commenting on the situation, Bowles stated: Because the fuel oil emergency demands that this im- portant conversion step be taken wherever possible, the OPA has permitted tenants and landlords to make an agreement which would allow for extra payments that are equivalent to an increase in the local rent"
 Apparently, many landlords and tenants of multi-family dwelling who have oil-burning furnaces that

RAIN STORM DOES
 VERY LITTLE HARM

High winds continued during yes- terday, increasing during the late afternoon. Rain began about five o'clock and was heavy and driving. Storm warning had been announced along the coast during the day. The rain in this city last night was fairly violent for ap,ut two hours but by eight o'clock had practically stopped.
 The temperature was not high during the day and dropped only to 48 this morning. Little damage was reported from last nights brief storm which was not so intense us was anticipated. Some trepidation was felt yesterday at the appear ance of very leaden sky which might indicate storms of hurricane proportions, but the storm eventu- ally proved to be just typical No- vember rain of a few hours with seasonal high winds, at the tailend of which successful blackout was negotiated.

Boston, Nov. 11-Armis ice Day 1942 finds the American Legion once again in the front lines. fight ing for Old Glory and the lard they love, this time not on the fields of France, but nevertheless fighting a battle almost as important as any of those now being waged in the war zones, the Battle of Scrap.
 Knowing how desperately ir need of war materials the boys in the Solomons, in North Africa and on our other fighting fronts really are, and how vitally important it is to keep the steel mills working supply ing them with needed weapons and ammunition the American Legion is mobilizing all its forces and next week will deploy them in search of scrap metal for Uncle Sam, placing particular care in locating old jail opies, persuading owners to scrap them and reporting these finds to the War Production board.
 Here in New England more than 89 900 legionnaires with half as many more auxiliaries. representing 778 posts, will set to work spotting the 15,000 to 10000 old jalopies which escaped the October scrap metal drive. AS each one of these old junkers averages about 1500 pounds of scrap steel and iron in addition to valuable copper, brass, aluminium and zinc, their acquisi- ton will result in thousands of tons of scrap and help New England go over the top in its quota of 847,500 tons, which this section is expected to fill before Dec. 31.
 New England is about 100000 tons short of the goal and with only six weeks remaining it will take extra ordinary efforts to round up the re- quired tonnage. That is why the American Legion is massing Tor the final big Scrap Round Up.
 War Production board of1cails have contacted all state command CTS and adjutants and they in turn are notifying each of the 778 posts in New England which will bring the full membership of 89,498 into

 Answer Charges Directed at Their Leader

And if in the future he dares to bring forth the statement in con- demnation of my stand for which he has circulariZed the executive board of his union, and which, in- cidentally, some refused to sign, let him preface it with the disproof of the facts stated above. Otherwise I believe Waterbury is through be- ing fooled by him and his rowdies. We want labor movement in Wa terbury, but we want it to be truly American.
 These individuals dragged in the issue of Fascism with the accusa- tion that I neglected to condemn 1t. We'll, we weren't talking of Fascism, but since they bring it up shall list it with Communism and Nazisln and condemn it with all the bitterness I can muster. Will Reid Robinson do the same? Will Don Harris do the same? Will the paper boys of The Daily Worker do the same?
 What is my position? May quote PreSloent RooSeVelt speaking on the 29th of September in 1886?

 And that. gentlemen, is, has been, and will ever be my position.
 Will Reid Robinson make it his position? Will Don Harris? Will the paper boys? Until they do, they have nothing in common with the working men and the citizens of Waterbury. The sooner we are rid of them the better.
