their labor.
These new plans are symbols of

productive unit, large or small, that lay

ALLEGED DRAFT
 VIOLATORS HELD
Father, Son Under Bonds for Appearance in U. s.
 District Court

Arrested yesterday on charges of violating the Selective Service act, Leonardo Mecca, 51, and his son, Domenic, 9, were free today on bonds of $2,OO0 each. They will be arraigned Dec. 18 before D. s. Com missioner William J. Wholean at Hartford.
 The son is charged with giving false information on dependency when he returned his draft ques- tionnaire in December of last year. The fNther is charged with filing false information on his sons claim.
 Young Mecca, now employed at the U. S. ordnance district. Spring field. has been in Glass 3-A on the grounds of dependency. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U. s. Attorney Valentine Sacco.
 The Domenic Mecca mentioned in the allegations of the Selective Serv- ice officials is not Domenic Mecca, Waterbury's outstanding teacher player of the accordion. The simil- arity in names has caused consid- erable embarrassment to MT. Mecca who is one of the city's best known business men as well as one of its most popular artists.
