ICKES DOES NOT
 GIVE MUCH HOPE
New England Resort Own- CTS Are Syn1pathized
 With, But That Is All

Boston, May 27-(UP)-Petroleum Coordinator Harold L. Ickes warns that "rationing of all petroleum products, on 8 rather severe basis, is likely to be necessary throughout the east for an indefinite period"
 T should be failing in my duty if did not advise you to proceed on the assumption he told the 18th annual convention of the Independ- ent Oil Mems Association of New England last night.
 There will be no way of meeting normal New England demands un- less we Have enough tankers, or unless a big pipeline should be built from Texas to the east" he said, "and am afraid you had better not count too strongly upon either of these alternatives"
 Because of the gloomy outlook, Tckes advised the dealers to urge their customers ito convert their oil burners to the use of coal wherever possible. "Quite naturally this is not 8 venture which will appeal to you," he said, "but 1t is necessary to be realistic"
 Ickes sympathized with New Eng land resort owners who contend their $500,000, 900 tourist business is threatened with disaster and said he didn't like to "see mischief played" with the oil business or with resort owners and other business people who depend upon petroleum for a livelihood, directly or indirectly.
 "But neither do I like to think of what our soldiers and sailors and marines are going through in the South Pacific. They are the ones who must be served before any of

nationals of many categories. They aren't only representatives of Ger man firms, but people established in business here, white collar class workers, restaurant walters and a large number of men working in the skilled trades.
 Most of the little people have not got the money 1t takes to travel back to Germany even if they de- sired to return. Also in their case and in those of small German busi- ness men, it is often true that they have largely cut connections with their fatherland, but have neglected to become naturalized citizens of the United States.
 ENEMY ALIENS FALL INTO TWO GENERAL GROUPS
 Aliens of enemy countries are classified and treated pretty much the same in America, Great Britain and Germany. In the United States, aliens of enemy states who are considered dangerous as poten- tial spies, saboteurs or troublemak- CTS generally are interned. But most are free, after obtaining gov- ernment permission, to travel where they please, because no suspicion attaches to them.
 In Germany, it Is reported some Americans are interned, while oth- CTS, especially old people, are allow ed to move about freely in the town where they lived, except that .he police and the Gestapo keep pretty close tab on them. Also they are barred from travel about the coun- try.
 If present negotiations come to q successful conclusion, ships will probably be allocated by the Amer lean and German governments to bring back their nationals, just as $ being done in the case of diplo- mats and newspapermen Of the two countries.

TRUCKING CONCERN NAMED DEFENDANT
Local Woman Asks Dam- ages of $IO,OOO for Tn-
 juries Suffered

Amanda c. Blum of Waterbury filed a $10,000 damage suit in super for court today against the E. J. Kelley Co.,, of Torrington. The plaintiff claims she was severely in- jured when a truck owned by the defendant company struck the rear of a Connecticut Railway & Light ing Co. bus from which she was alighting, causing her to fall. The accident occurred last July 1T on South Main street near the inter- section of Pearl Lake road.
 According to the complaint the truck was being operated at an ex- cessive rate of speed and the driver did not keep a proper lookout. It is further charged that the truck carried a load in excess of its reg istered weight so that it could not be brought to stop within rea- sonable time. The plaintiff claims she sustained multiple contusions

EO,OOO NURSES
 ASKED BY ARMY
S6O ao SI,56O Yearly, With Maintenance and
 All Uniforms, Offered

Maxwell Field, Montgomery, Ala, naav Wanted, at once: 10000 nurses, by the United States Army. Compensation, $840 to $1,560 8 year, with maintenance and all uniform clothing, from whites to dress out 9its.
 The army is increasing its nurses corps from the present 10000 to total of 5O,0O0, according to notice received here by 1st It. Helga Borg, chief nurse of the Maxwell Field station hospital, from her chief, Capt. Mary Gavin in the office of the Corps Area Surgeon at Fourth : Corps Area headquarters, Atlanta, Ga.
 Application may be made by mail to the Corps Area Surgeon at At- lanta. Applicants must be grad uates Of an approved school of nursing and currently registered in their own state. The age limit Is 21 to 40. Married women need not apply; they're ineligible. Widows and d!vorces are acceptable.
 Beginners wear the gold bar of a second lieutenant. They live in barracks, in single rooms, plain but comfortable, in quarters comparable to those of bachelor officers. Reg ulations, in so far as off-duty hours are concerned, are much the same as those that apply to commission cd officers of the army.
 The duties are like those in civil ian life, with assignment to hos pital or care of officers and enlisted men and their families.
 Its not bad life, as evidenced by the fact that many of those who enroll flor the duration and six months" soon make application for permanent commission, with the prospect of retirement in 30 years, or after age 50, on retirement pay.
 If they marry while in the serv- ice, as often happens, the nurses automatically must resign their po- sitions. A recent issue of the American Nursing Journal reported no less than SO nurses had, in one month, been classified as "unsuit- able to the military purpose"-the army's way of saying they had got- sen married.

Jehovah's Witnesses
 Lose Induction Case
Louis Pytak of Shelton Found Guilty of Failing to Re-
 port for Army Duty by Judge Joseph Smith

Smith pointed out that the ques- tion of whether Pytlak was a con- scientious objector was rot an is- sue in the case.
 Assistant United States Attorney Valentine J. Sacco declared in sum- nation that If we ever erect in this Ian dof ours one sect that can say the law applies to evreyone else but us, then we will have chaos and our enemies will destroy us."
 In his argument, Defense Attor- ney Carl Mears of New Haven de- clared that "our claim isl that reg ular ordained ministers are exempt from military service" Pytlak had testiled that he was a minister in the sect.
 Pytlak testified that he refused to report for induction April 21 primarily because he was opposed to co1nbatant service.

BRASS, UNION
 SETTLE POINTS
Detailed Information With- held Until Final Agree
 nient Is Reached

Settlement on several important points was reported today to have been reached by the American Brass Co. and the International Union of Mine, Mil and Shelter Workers at the recent hearings in Washing ton before a panel of the War Labor Board, though neither side would comment, having been asked by the VILE to withhlod informa- ton until a final agreement is reached.
 Company officials and representa- lives of the union locals in Water bury, TOrrington and Ansonia will meet Friday in another conference. Though additional conferences may be necessary, there is said to be 8 possibility that final agreement may be reached on most important points.
 John J. Driscoll, international representative of the union and chief spokesman for the three-city committee, declined comment today on the progress of negotiations be- fore the War Labor Board other than to say that virtually four full days had been devoted to intensive consideration of many points in- volved in tho contract dispute.
 Neither Clark s. Judd, president nor J. Harold Madden, director of industrial relations for the com- pany, could be reached, but it was stated at the company offices that no comment on the VILE negotia- tions would be made.
 Negotiations were started in Jan- uary when the union asked for a raise of 15 cents an hour, a union shop, stronger seniority rights and other provisions. The contract then existing was to have expired March IT but has been extended pending a final settlement on a new contract.

The Swiss diplomatic machine is doing the bulk of the work, as Swiss diplomats in Washington look after German interests here and Swiss diplomats in Berlin look after American interests there. In the negotiations there is no considera- tion of trade by equal numbers. The whole idea is to clear out of both countries all the nationals who desire to return to their homeland. There are far more Germans in the United States than Americans in Germany.
 For the greater part, Americans in Germany are people who repre- sented American industrial and f1- nancial concerns there. There is also a fair number who for years lived in Germany on their Amer ican incomes, feeling they could get more for their money there than at home. They were largely widows, who favored Munich, Dresden and certain watering places.
 GETTING MONEY
 WAS DIFFICULT
 1He lOC or most or them since Germany declared war on the Uni ted States last December has not been happy. One of the chief troubles has been in getting money from home. Business houses and banks have been willing to send on remfttances, but barrier has been put up by the government. It was not desired that Germany should get hold of foreign exchange that 1t could use to good purpose else- where.
 Naturally too there has been dif- ficulty in communication between Americans left in Germany and their home folks The latter have thus had cause to worry, because they had no way of knowing for certain how the absentees were faring in q wartime Germany, with German papers busily stoking ID hate of the United States.
