MANY OIL USERS
 STILL MUST SIGN
Lack of Blanks Hinder Ra- tiOning Program Past
 Three Days

Despite the last-minute rush of fuel oil rationing applicants at local school buildings last night, all of Waterbury's oil users were not registered during the three-day ap- pllcation period which ended yes- terday and 1t is estimated several thousand have yet to turn in their forms. Lack of blanks hindered the local rationing program considerably and incorrectly written information created much delay and confusion at the ration!ng places.
 The ration board headquarters will receive late applications Monday. but in the meantime preparations have been started for computation of allowances. Volunteer workers have been asked to meet at the office on West Main street Monday night at 7:30 to receive final instruc- tions for the figuring of allowances.
 Dealers registration may start next week, but not definite plans have been made as yet, Morris E. Surface, fuel oil rationing admin iStrator, stated today. Dates for is- suance of oil coupons likewise have not yet been set. but 1t is believed the rationing books will be ready for distribution in few weeks.

Tenants To Continue
 Receiving Heat Here
Cases Where Landlords Are Allowed to Decrease Serv-
 ice. Lower Rental Fees Must Be Asked

Landlords who have been supply ing heat to tenants cannot stop the service unless 1t is found there will not be any hardship to the tenants or that the tenants can reasonably supply the service them selves, according to a communica- tion received at.the local rent con- trol office from Robert w. Wales, assistant general counsel of the OPA office in Washington. The individ- ual cases will be left to the area rent administrators, who have been given power to approve or deny petitions for decrease of service.
 The OPA Washington official points out that If landlord has been supplying fuel and tending an individual furnace for a tenant, then a petition to cancel the service might be granted because in such a case 1t was reasonable to expect the tenant to supply his own fuel. In the case of rents where heat is sup piled from a central heating system, and it is apparent the tenant can rot continue the heat service him. self, it is pointed out the landlords petition might be denied. The ne- cessity of the landlords service to livability in the house is the de- termining factor, the officials rul- ing indicates.
 Atty. Sidney Cassel, chief ren' attorney for Waterbury, stated to, day landlords are expected to sup ply heat to tenants in accordance with the 2-3 decrease of fuel allow ance. The oil rationing program alone cannot be considered fac

m A letter directed ITO Our young People of Waterbury" Mayor vincent A. Scully urged that they refrain from doing any damage to property during the celebration of Halloween tomorrow night. War conditions, he said, make 1t diffi- cult to replace any such articles as lights, windows, etc. that are broken.
 Malicious vandalism, he said, "helps the enemy and impairs the strength of America"
 City officials are concerned about street lights and other municipal property which have been the suo- jects of vandalism in past years.
 Police Supt. William J. Roach has also asked for law-abiding cele- bration of Halloween. Like the mayor, he urges the youngsters to have all the fun they want but to refrain from property damage or personal injury,
 Here is the text of the mayors open letter:

 WORKERS IS HIT

London, Oct. 30-(UP)-The Bel gian government-in-exile protested today "as an outrage of interna- tional law and humane conscience" the forced deportation of Belgian workers to German war factories.
 The protest was sent to all of the United Nations and also dispatched to Berlin through neutral nation
 It said that in the Liese region. men from 20 to 40 had been forcibly conscripted for labor service. Ac- cording to German decrees, it said, women also were liable for deporta- tion, but it was not known whether any had been sent to Germany.

tor for stopping fuel service, 1t was indicated.
 In cases where the landlord is al- lowed to decrease service, either heat or any other type, decrease of rent must result. It is pointed out, however, that just because a landlord is willing to accept a lower rent does not necessarily mean that he will be allowed to decrease a service. Where any hardship may result to tenant the decrease will not be allowed even though the landlord indicates willingness to re- duce the rent.
 Another communication received at the rent office today is an amend ment to the hotel regulations which requires a landlord of rented rooms to make all records of rent and rent dates available to the rent ad- ministrator. The number of occu- pants, the term of occupancy, rent fees and names of the roomers must be kept on records, according to the new amendment.

WAR INDUSTRIES OF CONN. ASSURED
No Cessation in Awarding Contracts Here, Paul
 MCNutt Says

Hartford, Conn, Oct. 30-(UP)- Gov. Hurley was assured today by War Manpower Director Paul V. McNutt, that "the war industries in the state of Connecticut would have all the war contracts and business that industries could adequately handle for the duration of the war"
 This assurance came through State Public Utilities Chairman Jo- seph P. OConnell, who as head of special commission appointed by the governor, called upon McNutt to confer on employment and war contracts problems in the state.
 O'Connell said that McNutt, in listing Connecticut as one of the states where a critical manpower shortage existed, did not intend that no further war contracts would be awarded Connecticut industries.
 He said the pronouncement mere ly meant that no more war con- tracts would be awarded to indus tries located in critical areas where there exists manpower shortage or a shortage of adequate housing, O'Conneli told the governor.
 He stated that the housing sit- uation was serious one and that there was a shortage of materials and that in the future contracts would be awarded where these i'm pediments do not exist, but he made it unmistakeably clear that this was in no way 10 be construed to mean that war contracts would be with held from critical areas where fa- cilities were adequate to execute these contracts"
 O'Connell said MeNutt told hin there should be mo cause for alarm by industries in Connecticut"
