NLRB ELECTION
 CONDUCTED HERE
Employees of Chase Metal Works BaIlOting on
 Agency

Employes of the Chase Metal Works (Waterville) branch of the Chase Brass & Copper Co. were balloting today on the question of whether or not they wish the In- ternational Union of Mine, Mill & Shelter Workers to serve as their bargaining agent. There were ap- proximately 2,350 workers eligible to vote in Waterbury's most important labor election since the American Brass Go. balloting of several years when workers designated the CIO union as their choice.
 Balloting took place this morning from o'clock to 8:30, and was to continue from 2 to 4 this afternoon. Ballot boxes, which were under the supervision of representatives of the National Labor Relations Board, the company and the union are not to be opened until this evening.
 Directing the conduct of the elec- ton was Victor Pascal of the Ma tional Labor Relations Board.
 As the Chase balloting was ln progress, Regional Director Don Harris of the Brass Workers Organ izing Committee announced that the Mine, Mill & Shelter Workers union had won three elections held yesterday by large margins. One election, in New Mexico, was at mines of the Kennecott Copper Corp, of which the Chase Go. is Q subsidiary.
 A heavy vote was indicated as Chase Metal Works employees focked to the ballot boxes this morning. They had their choice of voting for the Mine, Mill & Shelter Workers union or for no union.
 The company and the union dis puted as to which should receive credit for arrangements whereby employees recently transferred to other branches of the company were allowed to vote.
 The union announced that about 200 employees now on vacation were taking part in the election through absentee ballots sent in by mail.

INSPECTORS OF
 AUTOS MAY CEASE

Hartford, Conn.,, May 2S-tUP)- Gov. Hurley said today the compul- sory automobile inspections may be discontinued for the duration of the war.
 He said he would confer with Motor Vehicles Commissioner John T. Mccarthy during the day about many complaints" from motorists, especially those in rural sections, about the difficulties of having their cars inspected due to tire and gasoline rationing conditions.
 One protest, he said, was received from the United Automobile Work CTS Union at Bridgeport.
 It was problematical whether the inspections would be stopped im- mediately, or after the current per- iod ends on July 31.
 About 100 inspection lane em- ployeS, 1t was understood, might be transferred to another department, possibly the state police for patrol work.

 Considerable resentment has de. veloped against Congressman Jo- seph E. Talbot, of Naugatuck, who purportedly had assured Hall back CTS that he would support the East Haven man for election to the state presidency. Hall packers claim that MT.

 At a recent county meeting, 1t was voted to place before the county executive board a recommendation that any honorary posts offered New Haven county by the state or- ga11ization be refused.
 It would not be surprising to poli- tical observers if both the local and county organizations withdrew, at least temporarily, their afaliation with the state organization.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-05-28

The Connecticut State Board of Examiners in Optometry today pro- tested to Connecticut's senators and congressman against failure to pro- vide for optometrists in the war ef- fort.
 Citing the fact that examinations will soon be given 20 young men for licenses as optometrists, the board declares that the group should not be inducted into the Army as pri- yates but should be given recogni- ton for their professional status.
 The board sent the following tel egram to the Connecticut congress sional delegation:
 "The Connecticut Optometry board is about to give examina- tions for licensure to about twenty graduates of universities and op- tometrical colleges. After exanl- nations these young men will be inducted immediately into the Army as privates as there has been no recognition of their pro- fessional status.
 Considering they have had four years of college work and over four thousand hours of lab oratory and clinical training and in eye health service this is sad commentary on proper placement
