RED GROSS AIDED
 VICTIMS OF FIRE
Work of Volunteers De- sctribed By Represents
 tive of Local Meeting

Aid of Red Cross workers at the recent Boston Cocoanut Grove fire disaster was described by Joseph Carter of the North Atlantic Red Cross headquarters in New York City at a disaster institute conducted yesterday at the Medical Associa- tion building. The sessions were at- tended by disaster preparedness committee members of Waterbury and surrounding towns, and various leaders of the local Red Cross chap ter.
 MT. Carter stated nurses aides gave invaluable service in the hos pital when graduate nurses were re- cruited to give all of their time to the fire victims. The Red Cross also aided in identifying victims and helping relatives. Drugs were sent by the Red Cross to be used in treat ing victims of the disaster. Con- trary to previously published re- ports, the Red Cross, however, did not contribute blood plasma for the treatment of the injured people, as supplies were secured in sufficient quantity from other sources, he said
 Natural disasters in the country occur at the rate of two each day, the official stated in stressing the importance of good disaster pre- paredness organization. He spoke of the relationship between the Red Cross and the Civil Defense council in the vent of wartime disasters.
 Mayor Vincent A. Scully was a speaker at a luncheon held by the institute representatives at the FL ton. He praised the workers for their efforts and spoke of the i'm portance of the preparedness com mittee.
 David F. Babson, chairman of the local disaster committee, presided at the training sessions, which were attended by various sub commit tees, such as medical aid, survey, rescue, shelter, food, clothing, trans portation. purchase, registration and information, and supply raising.

 The awards were made by Lieut.. Gen. George c. Kenney, comman- der of the Allied Air Forces in the southwest Pacific area. Those decorated included:
 Corp. Robert P. Swan, (783 Saw yer street,, South Portland, Maine, for action over Milne Bay, New Guinea on Aug. 26, 1922.
 Swan was gunner on 8 flying fortress which participated in an attack on enemy cruisers and transports in Milne Bay. Poor visibility and low ceiling neces- sitated an attack at very low alti- tude. Difficulty in releasing the bombs forced the fortress to make IA bombing runs at dangerous altitude in the face of concentrat- ed anti-aircraft fire. During the attack, which lasted an hour, Swan was wounded six times but raked the decks of the cruisers with machine gun fire throughout the engagement.

PETRILLO APPEAL
 BY US. PERFECTED
Restraint of Trade Claim Overlooked By Judge,
 Says Govt.

Chicago, Dec. 11-(UP)-The fed eral government today perfected its appeal to the supreme court of its antitrust suit against President James c. Petrillo and his American Federation of Musicians.
 Federal Judge John c. Barnes who dismissed the original suit on grounds that labor unions were not subject to provisions of the Sher- man antitrust laws, granted the government the right to appeal yes terday.
 In the original action, Thurman Arnold, special assistant to the at torney general, asked an injunction prohibiting the ATM from carrying out Petrillo's order forbidding near ly 100000 musicians from playing for photograph recordings and ra- dio transcriptions.
 Arnold, in his motion for appeal, maintained Barnes had failed to recognize that Petrillos action would result in restraint of trade. Petrillo was scheduled to appear on January 12 before the Senate inter- state commerce subcommittee in- vestigating the unions restrictions on recording work.
