Chamber Of Commerce Seeking New Members Funds
IWOMENS LEAGUE
 HEARS MITCHELL
Negro Congressman Urges Race in AII-Out War Ef-
 fort; Equal Rights

Contributions of negroes in the war effort and the growing need of recognizing their equal rights were discussed by Congressman Arthur w. Mitchell of Illinois, negro educator and leader in a talk at the Waterbury Women's club last night. The meeting which was sponsored by the Women'S Civic league, an or- ganization founded last spring by a group of negro women, was attend ed by about 150 persons.
 "After the negro gives his all for success in defeating Hitlerism he expects the same treatment under 8 democratic government as all other citizens" the speaker stated. He added, however, that despite the discrimination which exists, this country gives the greatest oppor- tunity to the negro of any country in the world.
 He urged the negroes to step out and work for recognition, saying the best way to do so was by being efficient and doing jobs so we'll that no one can do them better. He called attention to the numerous successful negro professional men of the country and said they rather than the negro in the kitchen or in the police courts should stand out in the public's opinion of the capa- bilities of the race.
 Seated with the congressman were i Mayor Vincent A. Scully who intro duced him and Mrs. Corinee Thomas, president of the league presided at the meeting.

SPECIAL VOTERS
 BUREAU OPENED
Democratic Town Commit tee Sponsoring Move
 ment to Avoid Confusion

Anticipating considerable confu- sion and some lack of interest among the thousands of persons in Waterbury eligible to become new voters between now and Nov. 3, the Democratic town committee opened special Voters Service Bureau at it's headquarters, 79 North Main street, today. It will operate throughout the period, October to 13, while new voters are being made in the aldermanic chambers of the city hall daily from 9 a. m. to 8 p. m.
 Information may be obtained at Democratic headquarters during the hours of 10 to 12 noon and to in the afternoon. The phone number is 4-1761 and an office staff will be on hand to answer inquiries and to accommodate new residents who do not understand the method by which they may be enrolled on the local voting lists.
 Special attention will be paid to newcomers in Waterbury who are eligible to vote if they have resided in this city at least six months and the state at least year. In other words if a person has moved tc Waterbury from some other part of Connecticut he or she must have resided here at least six months tc be eligible to vote in the November election. If the person has moved in from another state such resi-. dence must be of years duration to permit the name being placed on the voting list.
 In connection with this new serv' ice Chairman Maurice E. Tangne! of the Democratic town conmittet today warned residents about th' October IT deadline for making changes and corrections of thu temporary voting lists.
 Residents who have changed thei addresses since the last election ar' advised to fill out change-of-addres cards obtainable at the office o registrars of voters in the city hall Corrections in listing must also b complied with by October IT.

FRANK ROTELLA
 LOSER OF PLEA
Howard Street Mans New Evidence Fails to Defer
 Jail Sentence

Frank Rotella, 5S, of 30 Howard street, today began to serve a sen- tence of six months in New Haven County Jail after an unsuccessful attempt to set off the judgment by presentation of new evidence in Su- perior court this morning. The ac- cused man was found guilty last Tuesday by Judge John Rufus Booth of assaulting Joseph Rafferty, 34, of 60 Walnut street with danger ous weapon.
 Attorney Edward Mascolo, counsel for the accused man, today intro- duced as evidence the shirt worn by Rafferty as the time of the alleged assault which occurred July 26 on East Main street. He claimed that the perforation in the shirt was caused by a nail on a board which Rotella allegedly used to defend himself, ard not by sharp instru- ment. Victor Mambruno, former employe of a dry cleaning establish ment, was called to the witness stanc and testified that the tear in thS shirt could not have been made by a knife or razor or other sharp in strument but was the type a mai i could make.
 States Attorney William B. Fitz gerald stated the wound might havt been deadly if inflicted in anothel part of the body.
 In upholding the original judg ment Judge Booth said it was i'm material whether the wound wa inflicted with a knife, razor, O other type of weapon, that the fact indicated the assault was made witt a dangerous weapon and that th' sentence imposed on the charge O aggravated assault should be pu in force immediately. Dotella hat been free under a $l, ,00O bond.

Within past year other missiles have been hurled at the home and one occasion bullet struck a Venetian blind. A small child was playing in the room within a few feet of the window the leaden pellet struck. Damages to windows and doors have been frequent.

 War has challenged this nation to prove that its is strong-to meet this challenge the home front must produce planes, ships, tanks. food equipment, etc., all in the shortest time possible.
