 Compensation Due Her

Mary A. Condon of Waterbury, a former employe of Worth's Inc, has instituted an appeal in superior court from the employment com- missioner's finding which denies her unemployment compensation. Judge Edward J. Daly who presided at @ first hearing on the case at Q short calendar session yesterday after noon asked Harry Silverstone, as- sistant attorney general, who ap- peared for the commissioner, to file Q memorandum on the case.

Papers filed in the court reveal that Sam uel Greenberg, proprietor, requested all employees to join the union, and the woman alleges she left her em- ployment when she saw 1t would be undesirable for her to stay while not a union member.
 The question as to suitability of employment when an employer or ders employees to join a union was brought up at yesterdays hearing.

Stagger System to Be Fol lowed By Employees of
 American Brass Co.

A schedule of vacations, with pay for hourly and piecework employe~ of the American Brass Company was approved last night at meet. ing of stewards of Local 251, Mine Mill and Shelter Workers. It wal agreed upon last Monday at meet. ing of representatives of the CIO union and the company.

 An alternative of working during their vacation is also afforded en1- ployes. If they do this they will be given in addition to their regular earnings or vacation bonus. Senior; ity is expected to determine vaca. tions in all departments where tht is feasible.

Civilian Defense Situation Alarming Says Mayor at
 Council Farley

Tn an effort to relieve a serious situation at the Civilian Defense observation and report centers throughout the city, which are being manned now by volunteers forced to work additional shifts and several times a week, Mayor Vincent A. Scully named a special committee yesterday to study the situation and devise some means of rectifying 1t.
 Named to this committee were Chief Air Raid Warden James J. Curtin, J. Gregory Lynch, Zone c Warden, William T. Jebb, and Atty. John s. Monagan.
 Mayor Scully brought the matter before the weekly meeting of the Civilian Defense Council yesterday afternoon and described the situa- ton as alarming.
 So scarce are volunteers today that at times only enc man or wom- an has been on duty at some of the centers.
 Efforts to interest various clubs and organizations in the city in talk ing over a 24-hour watch each week has been discussed and efforts may be made by defense officials to con- tact officials of these societies to in- terest them in the plan.

state director for Selective Service said today that the call for 1-B men will be in addition to the call for regular allotments of IA men.
 Large Quota
 Although the I-B quota is con- fidential information, the acting state director admitted that while the call is sizeable there are a suf1- cient number of registrants, Class I-B, at present, to meet this and future calls. ...
 Receipt of the call for 1-B regis trants was welcomed by Major Averill, who pointed out that thou sands of Connecticut registrantS, ready and willing to serve with the armed forces, have been rejected for minor physical disabilities in the past and hundreds will doubt less volunteer when the public is advised that provisions have been made by the army to use them for limited military service.
 Selective service regulations de- fined 1-B men as registrants who because of minor physical defects are not available for general mili- tary service. This will include many men heretofore rejected by the army induction station for defec- tive eyesight, insufficient teeth, under or overweight, and other minor defects.
 Practically every local board in the state has a large number of 1-B registrants available who have previously had physical examina- ton by the army and were returned rejected with the notice that they should be placed in 1-B. These registrants will be among the first to be called, Director Averill pointed out.
 Limited Service
 Registrants classified as 1-B and called for service in August will be assigned to limited military service, 1t was stated, the major portion being placed with various units as clerks, storekepeers, guards and other duties which will relieve able bodied men for actual combat duty with the armed forces.
 ,1-B registrants may volunteer for the August call by reporting to their local board office in person and stating that they wish to be con- sidered as volunteers in the 1-B quota.
