RATION BOARD
 NEEDS LAWYERS
Services Desired in Fuel Oil Computation Work
 at Headquarters

Atty. Alfred L. tFlnklesteln, . member of the local fuel oil ration ing board, today appealed to mem- bers of the Waterbury Bas associa- ton to assist in the computation work being conducted at the ra- ton board headquarters. Speaking in superior court before th@ regu- lar court hearing opened, he told of the shortage of help and the service lawyers could render.
 Tt is patriotic duty to assist our brothers in the service" Atty. Finton Phelan, president of the bar association, stated in support of MT. Finklestein's plea. He stated that the number of lawyers in the serv- ice from this city is now greater than that in the previous war and recalled the extensive work render ed by lawyers as volunteers in 1917. The servicemen are doing much more strenuous work" he stated in urging lawyers to report to duty on the home front.
 Atty. Walter Monagan at once volunteered his services to the fuel oil board and other members are expected to follow suit.
 Meanwhile Morris E. Surface, fuel oil administrator, has reported that about 22,000 consumer applications have been turned in and volunteer computors are working at full speed to have allowances of all oil users determined by the time the ration ing coupons arrive.

STALLiNG CLAIM
 MADE BY MURRAY
Union Disputes Going to VILE. Decried By
 CIO Head

Boston, Nov. 6-CUP) )-President Philip Murray of the Congress of Industrial Organizations believes that many industraliSts are delib- erately stalling settlement of union disputes by referring controversies to the War Labor Board whose arbitration machinery already is clogged.
 Ut appears that many companies in other than the automobile in- dustry are Sabotaging collective con- tracts by causing their homogeneous to refuse to settle grievances and to advise union grievance committees that they can go to the VILE with their grievances" Murray said in an interview last night.
 Tt seems the machinery of the War Labor Board is completely clogged and organized workers throughout the country feel sense of complete illustration"
 Murray said the CIO would ask the War Labor Board to issue an order requiring an arbitration clause in existing contracts and thus keer the disputes out of Washington.
 Arrangements know that labor has an outstanding commitment not to strike and they are taking ad- vantage of it," he said. "They want to break down the work of the Wal Labor Board by clogging it with these cases"
 He said the CLOS executive board had voted unanimously to protest "collusive agreements" between the American Federation of Labor $ Metal Trades unions and certain large west coast shipbuilding con- cerns including those of Henry Kaiser" He said these agreements prevented the holding of consent elections in those yards.

By GEN. DRAJA MTHAILOVITCH Header Of the Free Ju9Oslav Armyl

Somewhree in the Free Noun tains of Jugoslavia-(UP)-I well come the idea of presenting to the American public the struggle which our Chetniks and other patriots are waging for national independence and human freedom.
 Our mountains are unconquer- able strongholds of democracy.
 The torches which are being lit in these mountains during the nights on the eve of any historical national event represent the sym bol of our indomitable spirit.
 They are also symbol of our fierce fighting against the slavery of Fascism. With our struggle we con- firm our resolute will to live in free- dom.
 The great American Democracy is the hope which inspires all our fighters in the free mountain fast nesses here. It is also an inspiration to all the oppressed peoples of Eu- rope. We are fully aware that the United States is forging arms for victory.
 Let these arms be forged solidly and as quickly as possible in order that the ruthless enemy shall be brought to his knees before he des- troys new millions of human lives.
 We are going to hold on in Jugo- slavia's wooded hills and mountains as long as necessary. The fact that America with her heroic fighters has entered the world battlefield has made our faith in the approaching victory absolute.
 America is not only new con- tinent; she embodies new spirit. From this new spirit new world should be born which must be or- ganized better and on more just basis than the present which is fading away in pain.
 Americas voice must be heard. And the eyes of all freedom loving peoples are concentrated on her.
