MT. Angle, well-known in local veterans circles, was quoted in dis patches from Groton as saying the deferment situation was bad and that factory officials were boasting of not losing men in the draft and that sweepers were being retained as essential to war production.
 Publication of the same last Sat- urday brought prompt denial from Charles E. Woodlock, chairman of Draft Board 15A, and charge that if Mir. Angle knew of such instances they should be presented before the proper officials, verified by the necessary proof.
 MT. Angle notified of the loca, 'repercussions Saturday night, saic that he made no reference to Wa. aterbury or Connecticut in present. ing his resolution and stated: q want Waterburians to know that j had no thought of criticizing my home state"
 Other draft officials, in addition to Mir. Woodlock, 1t is understood were outspoken in their criticism of the claims, but no formal action had evidently been taken in view of MT. Angles later explanation.
 However, 1t was intimated that fl irresponsible persons continue tc act as "saboteurs of public moral by circulating reports reflecting or the impartiality of the selective service system drastic action will be taken. Local officials hold to the opinion that if anyone has definite information that a man has ob- tained deferment by false state ments he should consider 1t his pa. triotic duty to notify the proper of ficials. As matter of fact the clas. sification of all registrants is oper to the public and anyone may checl on his neighbor's standing by visit ing draft board headquarters. Any thing strictly personal, physica condition or financial status, vii be regarded as strictly confidentia by the boards and no information on these particular points will b given out.

 The governor also paid high trib- ute to the manner in which em- ployers and employees are coperat- ing to win the war at home and that continued labor harmony was as devastating to the Axis powers as any bombing attack.
 Mayor Scully complimented labor on the patriotism inspiring the rally and said that the present war pro- duction ranks as one of the mira cles" of the age.
 MT. Carey spoke of death along the production line, but that such would not halt any speed-up. He urged his listeners to continue theil inspired efforts to convince the madmen of the world democratic people cannot and will not be con- quered or subgugated bya super for" race.
