Labor League Favors
 Short, Snappy Session
Special Meeting of General Assembly Should Be "Sn-
 ge-PmpOsed''; Extension of Election Day Hours

on Monday. It was called by Gov. Robert A. Hurley for the express purpose of extending the voting hours to insure sufhcient time for all workers to vote on election day, Nov. 3. The governor issued the call only after, he had received a large number of requests from CIO and AFL leaders.
 The text of the letters to the leg islative leaders follows:
 'On the eve of the Special Ses- sion of the Connecticut Legislature,
 I would like to address this brief letter to you on behalf of Labor'S Non-P Partisan League of Coanecti- cut.
 Our day-to-day contacts with workers in nearly fifty large defense factories all over the State have convinced us that the condition of overtime work will really work a great hardship on many thousands of voters, if the voting hours are not extended.
 we feel that the free ballet is one of the most precious rights for which this war Is being fought; and we, therefore, are of the opin- ion that anything which tends to bring about light vote would be in some degree g contradiction of our highest purpose. Therefore, we wish to express through you to the which have already asked for the extension of voting hours and we wish to express through oyu to the legislators of your party our sim cere hope that the voting hours will be extended by the special session.
 At the same time, we believe that the dictates of war economy make it essential that the session be as brief and single purposed as possible. This seems to us all the more desirable since the regular opportunities for the settlement of all pending legislative matters"

DEFENSE COUNCIL
 RECEIVES REPORTS
Tin Collection Campaign Slated for November;
 BlackOut Rules

Preparations are being made to carry on a scrap tin campaign in November, J. Warren Upson, chair man of the scrap committee of the Waterbury Defense Council, told the planning board of the council. He explained that an expensive edu- cational program would have to be carried on to explain to the people just how to prepare the tin cans for collection and when to deposit them on the sidewalks. Collections would probably be only twice 8 month.
 At present IS students from the city, 30 from industry, and seven from surrounding towns have reg istered for the bomb reconnaissance school to be held at the c. l.. & P. Co. auditorium on Tuesday. Many more are expected to register before the one-day session, the planning board was told.
 Also discussed at the meeting of the board were the new hlackout rules which provide for sounding air raid sirens twice in preparation for a raid and which ban the use ot red lights on cars proceeding dur- ing Q blackout, allowing only green lights.

 Sticks at Switchboard
 Private Roberts has stuck to his switchboard through every shelling and bombing and was at his board recently when 500-pound bomb fell just outside the telephone ex- change. Shrapnel from the bomb sprayed his board and one splinter severed cord Roberts was about to plug in. As he reached for an- other line 1t came apart in his hand, having also been cut by the shrapnel.
 1T guess the reason I didn't move was because I was too scared" the 20-year. old Marine said in explain ing how he manned the board even after his narrow escape.
 Private Roberts was at his post in a dugout when a Japanese night attack was aimed at the post.
 There was Q machine gun mounted atop our -bagged dugout and the Japs shot rife grenade into 1t, destroying the po- sition and killing one of the gum ners. We could feel the explosion in the dugout and hear the sniping and explosion of the mortars and grenades outside. I thought the Japs were coming right in the door so we posted armed guards just in- side the door, draped a blanket over the key to keep the light from shin. ing outside and awaited the at. tack"
 Repairs Wire Under Fire
 The next thing Roberts heard was the batter of running feet above the dugout and despite the fact that death or capture was in- minent, he stayed at the board putting calls through without in. terruption. The people heard on the roof were Marines, however, who were replacing the damaged unit and the Japanese never got close to the dugout.
 One member of the signal conl- pany was killed during 8 bombing raid when 8 bomb damaged the radio shack. Despite the damage to equipment by the raid, Marine It. Sanford B. Hunt, Jr., former Newark, N. J., newspaper reporter and officer in charge of the radio equipment, had Guadalcanal back in radio contact with the outside world within 10 minutes. The bomb- ing caused the first break in the steady flow of communications since the Marines landed on August '.
 It was the heroism of Corp. Wal. ter J. Burak of Pittsburgh, Penn, that enabled the raider battalion to withdraw from its advance posi- tion during a Japanese night attack in which an entire company of Marine raiders was cut of from communication with the main body of troops. Corporal Burak re-estab- lished communication by relaying 200 yards of telephone wire which the Japanese had cut. He crawled along the ridge under constant en- emy sniper and light machine gun fire, dragging the roll of wire be- hind him. His feat enabled the company to direct an artillery bar rage that halted an enemy attack on the position and allowed it to retire to a new position success fully.
