NO CUASTAFERRI
 APPEALS AS YET
Decision to Be Closed Un. less Federal Government
 Files Within 30 Days

No appeal has been filed as ye, by the federal government from the decision of Judge Carol c, Hincks who last week exonerated Hugo Guastaferri, local lawyer, of charges of violating the Selective Service Act by accepting fees from regis- trants who sought advice. Under the law unless an appeal is filed within 90 days after the decision the case will be closed.
 Mir. 0uaStaferri admitted accept- ing fees while an advisor of local Draft Board l6-B on April i9, % and 27, but claimed he did so with the understanding there was no pros hihition against 1t, In . demurrer which the federal judge upheld last week he claimed that he had signed a waiver to the right of compensa- ton from the government for his services, but that ho believed this did not exclude the right of accepting fees from prospective draftees who sought advice.
 Admitting that the action of the lawyer may not Do desirable the jurist stated that there was no specific provision in the selective service regulations against accep- ance of fees end he suggested that such a consideration be incorporated and apply in the future,
 It has been revealed that M, Quas- taferri offered to return the fees he had received but Federal authorities refused to accept them,

The Christmas seal campaign is in n special class, just as the Salva- ton Army kettles, and has the ap' proval Of officers of the Community Chest, Mrs. Bessie L. Crane said last night by way of explanation to maiy who returned the seals to the league office, saying that they made contribution to the Community Chest. The Christmas seal sale is being conducted as usual under the auspices Of the Waterbury Anti Tuberculosis League.
 Tn speaking of the position Of the sale In tho Community Chest plan, Mrs. Crane said that these little seals were so valuable for education purposes with the public that the national. state, and local associa- tions, wherever a Community Chest had been formed, reserved the right to make the Christmas seal appeal at this season."
 "The local league has always raised most of Its funds through the sale of seals" she pointed out, and will receive in l943 only a small amount from the Community Chest. While the league is one of the members of the Chest, "approxi- mately two-thirds or more of its sup port has always been obtained from the sale"

FRENCH EMPIRE
 SWING BIG AID
Allied Cause Benefits By Separation From Axis

Ny N. o. THOMPSON

AWM1NGu fteNS ethH NVffNapoHuenkl
 Washington, Nov 24-(Up) Far. reaching advantages to the Allied cause were seen today in the sepa- ration of most of the French empire frum Axis influence or control,
 All Of French Africa is now under Allied control except TuniSia. And by an agreement, announced yes. terday by Secretary of State cordell Inall, the French possessions in the Pacific, with the exception of Indo- China, arc on the Allied side,
 The bloodleSs acquisition Of Dakar by the Allies was a coup Of great importance, If adequately defended, Dakar could have caused great amount of trouble to the United Nations. Tn German hands it would have been direct threat to this hemisphere,
 CficlalS here were greatly pleased by Admiral Jean Darlan's success in bringing it Into the Allied camp, The admirarS exact status is not clear here, but while Darlans ac- tons bring United Nations suec- esses there is little inclination to question the experiences which the military is using in North Africa.
 American consular officials in Dakar who were believed to have been confined when the offensive against North Africa was started, arc presumed to be again at liberty. Their places in confinement are ex- pected to be taken by German agents known to have been operat- Ing in the Dakar area,
 What disposition will be made Of tho French fleet units in Dakar was not known, It was believed they at least would be demilitariSed and that their officers might even elect to join the Allied naval forces,
 Tn the case of the new agreement negotiated with the French authori- ties at Martinique the French war ships there have been demilitarised, Subsequent arrangements might open the way for their use on the Allied side,
 The Martinique agreement, full details of which have not been made public, embraces Martinique, duade- luupe, French Guiana, but does not cover St. Pierre -Miquelon, which have been in Fighting French hands since last Christmas.
 Effective naturalization of French possessions in this hemisphere will make unnecessary American occu- optional forces, in the opinion of Hull.
