Car-sharing arrangements are be- ing worked out by employees of the Waterbury Tool Company with the cooperation of the management. Workers have all been given leaflets urging that car-pooling clubs be formed and pointing out the serious ness of the rubber and gasoline situ- ation.
 Lists of employees living in the various sections of the city ere be- ing posted. Those from the same vicinity are asked to arrange to share their cars with fellow-workers.
 The company emphasized that present cars cannot be replaced and urges that all workers take the best possible care of their vehicles. Pub- lie transportation facilities, the leaf let states, are not adequate for all WaterburianS.
 Tool Company employees are asked not to use their cars for non-essen- ttal driving, to travel by bus when- ever possible, and to double up" on cars.

City to Pay $4,OOO for Special Apparatus in Tax
 Collectors Office

The board of finance yesterday approved a transfer of 14y000 to pay for rental of bookkeeping and tax accounting machines now used in the office of Tax Collector Humbert ManQini. The machines, owned by the International Business Machine Corporation, cannot be purchased outright.
 The machines are rented from Barrow, Wade and Guthrie, city ac- countants, who have a contract with the manufacturer. The city will now seek to rent them direct.
 Budget Director Thorvald F. Ol- sen said that the machines are nec- essary if the city is to comply with legal requirements. If they should be taken out he said, more clerks would have to be hired and type- writers bought. The purchase of typewriters, he pointed out, IS now outlawed.
 Commissioner Orton P. Camp questioned the expense and was told that the expense could not be borne by the auditors because the mach ines are now being used by the city itself. The auditors should have told the city of the charge when the 1942 budget was being prepared, MT. Camp argued, but MT. Olsen said it was not known at that time that the tax office would use the apparatus.
 The board also voted payment of $1,137 to Barrow, Wade & Guth- rie for assistance given the tax office from January 1 to July l.

to release him to us for a four
months period. Snce Drew,
who is a recognized authority
on the subject OF blood preSer-
walton and blood substitutes,
and, at. the same time, an ex-
cellent organizer, has been in
charge, our major troubles
have vanished, Drew is d.
rectly responsible to the Blood
Plasma Committee of our
Board of Control"
One Of the greatest values
of the work is that the expe-
rience gained by DR.. Drew. and
other memberso f the stan, in
he handling of blood will be Of
great value to the United
States now that a national
emergency has arisen.
General Robert c. Davis. ex-
ecutive director Of the New
York Chapter OF the American
Red Cross, wrote DR.. Drew, up
on the latter's resignation:
ST received your letter OF

granting you a leave Of absence
at least until the first of the

with the American Red Cross
in establishing this vital med
ical relief"
The results and Importance
of DR.. Drew's work was ex-
pressedb y Dewitt stetten, the
chairman of the Board of Con-
troll, in an article entitled "The
Blood Plasma for Great Britain
Project" Mr.. Stetten stated in
part:
"On October LIST, we engaged
a full-time, Salaried Medical
Supervisor to help us solve the
technical problems, to forlnu-
late a standard, uniform tech
nique and to coordinate the
cooperating hospitals. The

tions and letters of protest. In
the March On Washington eff
fort, our emphasis was upon
the enlistment of Colored
maSses-a march on the cap
ital."
He further stated: THE only
progress which the race has
achieved in the history of the
American nation has been
won in times of emergency. To-
day the masses of Colored
people themselves must take
over their leadership. The
March On Washington was
f1nancedf rom the nickels and
dimes of the race. If we are
not able to meet the situation
on our own, we are not ready
for privilege of democracy, A
distinguished white liberal Of
fered me $4,000 during the
campaign because he said he
was a friend of democracy in
America and knew that it's only
chance of successful function
lay in the emancipation of
Black Americans. I refused
that $4,000 because Ik1ew
that colored people could only
be amancipated by themselves
eff you take $4,000 from Q
white liberal, you've got the
$4,000 and the white liberals
got you. If you take a nickel
fro ma colored man on the
corner of Seventh Ave. and
125th ST., (Harlem) you've got
the colored man and the nickel
too"
Conferences with Mrs. Root
welt and Mayor La Guardia in
New York and with President
Roosevelt were described in de-
tail. Mr.. Randolph refused to
call off the march and Presi-
dent Roosevelt, to avoid the
March" which he feared would
result in trouble, signed his
famous executive order.
