Draft registrants in this city
have been running on fools err
rands in response to phOney tele-
phone calls, local selective service
board workers said today.
A man having number of de-
pendents, left his machine in a
Waterbury factory last week, and
reported clustered and bewildered
to the Chase Dispensary for a
physical examination. He said
that he had received telephone
call, ostensibly from one of the
draft boards, notifying him to ap-
pear at once for examination. In
formed that the call had been a
hoax, the victim denounced all
practical jokers, and said that he
couldn't understand how his de-
ferment status had been so alb
ruptly altered.
Another lost several hours work
reporting to his draft board in
answer to a strictly fictitious call.
A third received permission from
his employer to work on a diff
ferent shift in order to allow him
time to present himself at the Sc
lectivc service offices. The tele-
phone call he answered was q
fake.

SNOW LIKELY TO
!, TURN into RAIN
Rising Temperatures Fore
cast as City Is Blan=
keted Today

A fine mist Of snow continued to
fall during tine early hours of the
afternoon, today, but rising temper
atures gave promise Of transform
ing the precipitation to rain either
late in the afternoon or in the
early evening.
The weatlerman prophesied an
uninterrupted ascent of the mer-
curry, with rain or snow ending by
midnight. Tie thermometer re-
corded reading of "a degrees at l
p. m.
The comparatively dense snowfall
during the right and morning
served as serious impeachment to
vehicular traffic. Automobiles IN
many instances failed to negotiate
hills made slippery and untenable
by the heavy going. Traffic moved
slowly in the down town area.
Herbert Scott-Smith, superinten-
dent Of public works, announced this
afternoon that the entire fleet OF Is
trucks anud tenders was busily en-
gagged In clearing the snow. While
a few snow-plows were in operation
shortly after midday, Mr.. Scott
Smith said that the street depart
ment would utilize all available

Rental Price.
Fixing Looms.
For This City
Figures of Year Ago May
Be Adopted, Mayor Soul
ly Intimates

Fixing of rents in Water
bury, perhaps retroactive to
the figures of a year ago,
seems almost inevitable,
Mayor Vincent A. Scully said
today. The mayor based his
opinion on statements made
during a "fair rent" confer
ence held yesterday at Hart
ford under the auspices of the
State Defense Council.
Under recent federal law, the
government can send an admins
traitor into any defense area in
which it is not satisfied with rental
or housing conditions. The meeting
yesterday was held to find means
to avert federal intervention but
since community fair rent commit
tees, such as the one in Waterbury,
have no power, it was made clear
that Intervention by the Office of
Price Administration seems certain.
To what back date the ceiling will
be made retroactive is problematical
The Waterbury Fair Rent Commit
tee fixed January l, 1871, as a fair
date in its voluntary negotiations
with landlords and tenants. Should
the government fix the same date
any rent raises since that time
might be obviated, unless improve
ments or repairs since that date had
made an increase necessary.
The date mentioned as a fair
rent standard at the Hartford meet
ing yesterday was one anywhere be-
tween April /, 1910, and April l, 1941
Federal approval of any such date
as a norm would likewise mean
many forced reductions in rents
here.

In any case, it is pointed out,
these pranks have ceased to be

they cause men to lose time bet
