CIVILIAN CONFUSION
On the civilian side Of the gov

TO that cited by him on the mill
tary side.
He criticized President Roose-
Welt for waiting until after 20
months OF lnSlStcnt demand be-
fore appointing a supreme director
OF industrial production.
He pointed 10 the prepoSter-
ouSly Intellectual manner in which
the governments labor policy has
been handlcd' and said:
THE confusion in the labor
situation arises from the same
cause ~ the confusion which we
had 80 long in the industrial
field: The inability Of this adj

He becomes almost emotional
when talking of the aspirations of

agree with him or disagree with
him, condemn or praise the Rus

He knows the Russian people,

LAVAL STIFFENS

changed his perennial white tie

He appeared simply to be CIV

gotten any comfort from the Nazis
in current Paris negotiations re-
mained to be seen.
Lavals troubles multiplied dur

for plotting to replace Laval as
chief of government by the more
rabid pro-Nazi, Jacques Doriot.

NATION WORKING
TO GATHER SCRAP
CONTINUED from Page Onel

Continued from Page Onel
600 tons of scrap between now and
the first of the year and the great
bulk of that is expected to be
gathered in the next 20 days.
Thousands of dollars have been
offered in prizes by the newspapers
and the merchants to spur scrap
salvage, the awards to be given
for the best collection jobs by in
dividuals, groups or areas.
NeWspapermen who have been
spearheading the drive considered
Governor Hurley's statement to his
people an edict that could well ap-
ply to every state and person in
the nation, for it said:
''All over the nation, in every
state and community, there is
renewal of the scrap campaign un-
der the voluntary leadership of the
newspapers of our country. 1t is
an effort that commands the i'm
mediate attention and support of
all the people of Connecticut. It
must be exhaustively prosecuted.
I'm that campaign I want to see
the people of Connecticut achieve
a record that will stand as chal-
lenge to every other state in the
union.
II call upon the mayors and
selectmen of our towns and cities
to remove from and around all
public buildings ornamental met
ais, metal fences, and all equip
nent not absolutely essential to
the proper functioning of their busi-
ness and to give that metal to the
scrap Campaign.
Il call upon the housewives of
, Connecticut to fine-comb their
homes and remove from their
rooms and walls and closets every
thing they can possibly sacrifice.
| am asking not only for things not
in use or things that are hidden in
attics, but for things that are used
every day. I ask them to give up
as much as they possibly can SO
that a steady flow of metal can be
maintained into our factories.
81 call upon our farmers to take
time off from their daily toll to
collect from their fields and barns
and homes every piece of metal
| and rubber that can be spared,
spared even from their usable
equipment.
81 call upon our great fraternal
organizations and our great busi-
ness and civic groups to organize
brigades of scrap collectors to
fight this battle of materials"
Then, in an order to all state
commissioners, bureau heads and
trustees of state institutions, Gov
ernor Hurley said:
s'You are hereby directed to
undertake the immediate collection
of every ounce Of metal of which
your department or institution and
its facilities can be stripped with
out Gripping the essential admins
tration of your duties. This order
refers among other things, to met
al fences, metal standards, metal
equipment, metal ornaments and

BLACK0UT SLATED

auth rized by the civilian defense
group and the military will be per-
mitted to remain on the streets.
All persons are asked to keep
their radio sets on, tuned to their
local station as it will continue
broadcasting during the blackout.
Any further instructions issued by
the local defense command will be
handled by the radio. In the event
that the dial lights of a radio set
cannot be turned off, the glow
must be shielded by heavy cloth
or other suitable cover, it was
pointed out.
The air raid warning signal will
consist of series of blasts from
the sirens, wobbling up and down
in pitch for a period of three min
utes. The all-c1ear signal will be
a steady whine of the siren for
two minutes, denoting the end OF
the blackout period.
During the air raid test here,
all persons are requested not to
use their telephones, except in the
case of an emergency. The tele-
prone office will be handling calls
of an official nature during the
period and will be overtaxed it
the public uses the system for per-
sonal or useless calls, Commander
Jones declared.
It should not be assumed that
the air raid test or the blackout
is the forerunner of impending
danger, he pointed out, and every
one should understand that it IS
only test of the county and state
defense organizations.
In the event that the sirens are
not heard by people in certain
areas of the city, air raid wardens
and their assistants will notify
those persons. The city police cars
will be operating in the city and
will assist in this work. The or
ders of the air raid wardens or
other auxiliary officers should be
obeyed to the letter, the command
er declared.
AS a further warning, he en-
phasized again that the test to-
night would be a real and COM
plete blackout, and that the public
must conform with 1t. L

five inhabited points were iber-

of enemy equipment either seized
or destroyed. Two thousand Ger

In the Caucasus the Russians
acknowledged German seizure of

communique said the Red army
had dislodged the enemy from an

German infantry company and de-
stroying three tanks and two ar
