CITY MAY SECURE
 POWERFUL SIREN
OCD Officials Report Suc- cess in Latest Experi-
 ment; Ten Used Here

A solution to the vexiig problem of an air raid alarm system that will sound warnings that are clear ly audible in every part of the city and yet not be too costly may result from a new-type signal which the once of Civilian Defense has just successfully tested at Washington.
 First reports on the new siren indicate that its volume Is so great that use of only one would insure adeuuate coverage for all of Water oury. The OCD estimates that the sirens can be produced for $500 each and the specifications have ale ready been submitted to several manufacturers.
 Even with II sirens in use dur ing the statewide blackout test Monday night, the alarm could not be heard in many parts of Water oury. Ten of the sirens were pur- chased only a few weeks ago.
 A single Siren of the new type judging from reports on the Wash- ington test, would eliminate the need for as many sirens as are now in use. As 1t now stands, the city Is faced with the necessity of buy ing another 10 or more of the pres ent-type sirens if the air raid alarm signal is to be clearly heard

PROTESTSSENT
 10 WASHINGTON
CIO Union Members and Friends Voice Objections
 to Smith Labor Bills

c. I. o. unions today distributed more than 5000 post cards to be mailed to Washington to protest against the Smith bills, nov before Congress. The cards were wiven out among employees of the Chase Brass Q Copper O., the scovi1l Mfg. O., and the Lux Clock Mfg. Co.
 The cards are being sent to Con- gressman Joseph E. Talbot of this district and Congressman -at-large Lucian Maciora. Hundreds of tele- grams and letters objecting to the bills are also being sent, union lead- CTS stated today.
 Each card states:
 'Knowing the danger our coun- try ts in, the people in our plant have been putting in long hours each week. We have been only too willing to work whatever hours were asked of us. The few extra dollars we make in overtime pay are not 8 luxury, but a necessity In spite of that, many of us have put part of our wages in defense bonds The passage of the Smith bill now would only cause dissension and discontent in our ranks and thereby play into the hands of our very enemies"
 The Scovill Brass Workers Union announced this morning that 1t will sponsor an open meeting for C1.O. members tonight to discuss steps which can be taken to oppose the bills. The meeting will be held at CI.o. headquarters, 95 Bank street,
 One of the Smith bills would re- peal the wages and hours law, which provides for overtime pay for work over 40 hours.

mends that war stamps be enclosed
with all Christmas cards.
This is splendid idea. but it ap
pears that some people are miscon-
strung the suggestion and are
placing War Stamps on their en-.

War Stamps cannot be used as
postage and unfortunately any cards

as postage must be held by the post
