.RATIONING MEAT.
 IS UNDER STUDY.
Point System Considered in Place of That of
 Coupon Plan
BY HELLER KREIGBAUM United Press Staff Correspondent

NOHAteu EFcSS SGalI COErcSpOnOemGl
 Washington, Sept. 25.-(UP)- Rationing officials today are consid- ering "point system' for ration ing meat instead of the Coupon system" being used to ration sugar.
 Under the point system, the scar city or abundance of any given meat for any particular week would control the point value of the prod uct for rationing. For example, if hogs were scarce and cattle plen- tiful, pork would be given high CT point value and require more coupon currency" than beef.
 Such plan, Office of Price Ad- ministration officials said, has an excellent chance of being adopted. Universal rationing books, which went to the printers last week, in- clude provisions for both systems. They will be ready for distribution either in December or early next year when the program for distribu- tors control of meat goes into eff feet.
 Officials said the point system, if adopted, would make 1t possible to dispose of plentiful meats and to divert purchasing away from those needed for the armed services or for lease-lend shipments.
 A similar system is in effect in Great Britain where an advertising campaign was tied in with SO that I1N11couytyras xxyo1,ld kn1,a %I1a of@n,ok;ow. called to those meats which were plentiful instead of those which were lacking.
 Meanwhile, OPA officials were working on the final draft of limi- tation orders which will carry out the 21 per cent overall reduction program for meat ordered by Sec- retary of Agriculture Claude R. Wickard, chairman of the foods re- quirements committee of the War Production Board.
 Announcement of the orders which are expected Monday or Tuesday will cut deliveries of lamb and mutton five per cent, beef and veal 20 per cent and pork by 9 per cent, beginning next month under 1941 levels.
 That will put 1t up to the retail meat dealer to reduce meat supplies to his customers on the most ad- vantageous basis. What device he uses will be up to the meat dealer to decide, but they will have to con- form to the reductions outlined in the forthcoming regulations.

 The broadcast of the Attorney General is scheduled for 9:3O o'clock on the evening of Columbus Day. It has been requested that Italian American societies in all communi- ties of the nation arrange special programs for the occasion and to have members listen in" for the main address of the occasion.
 Waterbury has nearly 50 societies which numbers among their mem bership thousands of men and wo- men of Italian descent. It is ex- pected that a local committee will be organized shortly to complete arrangements for observing the an-- niverSary and cooperating with the Office of War Information.

BOSTON PILOT IS
 COMPLAINANT
Criticizes Wording Put Into Birth Control Refer-
 endun1 in Boston

Boston, Sept. 25-UP)-The Pilot, official organ of the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston, today criti- cized the wording of the Birth Control Referendum which will appear on the November election ballot in Massachusetts,.
 The Pilot charged editorially that the text was worded in nega- tive manner and that there are nearly 200 words to it before we reach the yes and no. Whether a Philadelphia Lawyer could un- ravel it or not is impossible to say: certain it is that many excellent local legal experas find it difficult to follow"
 Tt is rare coincidence that so many unusual difficulties beset the voter who comes to the polls to vote upon this particular issue" the Pilot said.
 The purpose of the referendum is to determine whether Massuchu-
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-09-25

The complaint states an employe of the defendant concern had placed 13 reels of cable intended to be used by the company in extending serv- ice facilities from Waterbury to Middlebury on the land few days before without securing proper au- thorization from the city. It is alleged the cable which was found on steel drums, had been left stand ing upright. One of the reels be- came unbalanced and tilted as the Roger boy and other children were playing on the grounds and sudden ly toppled over pinning him and crushing him to death instantly. The reel which caused death was said to be six feet high and two and one half feet wide.
 The defendant is charged with negligence for failing to inspect the premises and noting the dangerous condition. It is charged that the ground was soft and as result the reels were unstable. There was no side propping of blocking to keep the reels in place, it is pointed out in the complaint.
 It is further claimed that there were no barriers placed to keep children away from the property and that the company knew children were accustomed to play there.
 Death was said to be due to a crushed chest and ruptured lungs, stomach, and intestines.
