ment of Labor.
"Mr. Petrillos claim would, of
course be equally unwarranted if,
for instance, it called upon the
manufacturers of ready made
clothing to require their customers
to hire quota of custom tailors, or
demand that the telephone COM
pany require businesses which use
telephones to maintain a quota of
messengers, or was applied to any
other business or group of union
members. 1t is worth pointing out,
nevertheless, that electrical trans
criptions. which are used exclusively
by broadcaSting stations, do not in
terfere with the employment of
musicians by broadcasters. Musi-
clans earn from radio approximate
ly twenty million dollars a year,
more than any other class of en-
ployeS, and broadcaSters pay to mu-
sicianS an average wage of $3.50 a
week for an average Work-Week of
approximately twenty hours. More
over, there is virtually no unem-
ployment in Mr.. Petrillo's union and
Mr.. Petrillo, himself, has admitted
that there is such a shortage of
musicians that his union cannot fill
even the normal needs of broad
casting stations.
1.-THE broadcasting industry, so
vitality necessary to wartime COM
munications and morale, has not,
due to Mr.. Petrillos action, been
able to obtain freshly recorded mu-
sic since last August. Mr.. Pet
rillo has, Therefore, deprived radio
listeners of the legitimate benefits
of a well established invention at a
time when musical entertainment is
most needed both by our armed
forces and our civilian population,
and he is trying to compel broad
casters to hire men they do not
need at time when serious man
power shortages exist In war indus

Mrs. Hummell announced the as
signment of nine Waterbury nurses
to duty with the Army and Navy
Corps through the local Red Cross
Nursing Recruitment Committee.
The names will be announced at a
later date. Seven are awaiting as
signment pending physical exam
nations through the committee.
A meeting will be held by the re-
cruitment committee and the home
service of the Waterbury chapter
with Miss Ruth Donnelly, New Eng
land nursing consultant on Thurs
day and Friday to discuss the work
OF both services.
All nurses are eligible for active
war assignment, Mrs Hummell dis
closed, and applications filed
through the Red Cross receive
quicker consideration from military
or navy personnel than those filed
through the Army and Navy. The
local recruitment committee is at
Lincoln House on Field street.
The camp and hospital committee
Of the Waterbury Red Cross Chap
ter discussed ways and means of
raising funds for their work at a
recent meeting held at Red Cross
headquarters, with Mrs. Gordon
Hurlbut, presiding.
The committee services isolated
Army and Navy stations, Coast
Guard, submarine bases, veterans
hospitals, ETC., where there is the
greatest need for equipment. Since
only a small part of the annual
chapter fund is set aside for this
work it was agreed that a means
must be found by the members to
purchase the necessary equipment
to service camps and hospital bases

Broadcasters Statement
Neville Miller, president of the
National Association of Broadcast
ers, today issued the following
statement with respect to the action
of the electrical transcription COM
panies in referring the latest de-
mands of James C. Petrillo to the
Cancellation Service of the Depart
ment of Labor:
Mr.. Petrillos latest demand upon
the manufacturers of electrical
prescriptions is the most startling
in long series of unjustified de-
mands. In seeking to require the
manufacturer Of a long established
and necessary invention to forbid
its use by anyone who does not
employ an artificial allotment of
union members, Mr.. Petrillo Is at
temDtinp to establish nrincinle
which conflicts with all progress
and invention.
THE electrical transcription rem
ders an indispensable service in
bringing entertainment to radio lis
teners, especially listeners, to local
broadcasting stations not affiliated
with networks. The National Asso-
citation of Broadcasters, therefore,
welcomes the action of the electrical
transcription companies in refer
ring Mr.. Petrillo's demands to the
Cancellation Service of the Depart

FOR GARBAGE ONLY

Berkeley, Cal. UP)-The City
Council has come to the rescue of
the lowly garbage collector. AS
there is a limit to the size and
weight of a garbage can that a
worker can carry on his head, the
Council has ruled that broken-up
cement sidewalks and pavements,
bricks, dirt and other heavy mate
rial will no longer rank as garbage
and must hereafter be dumped some

OIL APPLICATIONS

Several hundred applicants for
next winters fuel oil rations have
already mailed their requests to the
local ration board and the citys es-
timated $4,000 fuel oil users have
been asked to turn in applications
by Monday. The forms will be
available at firehouses until Monday
and should be mailed to the West

Fred A. Webb, ration administrator,
said.
Dealers of the city have been
warned by ration officials that de-

practice. Supplemental rations will

 Tn Q discussion Of rationing prob- lems. MT. Helnmann points out that while rationing may Do incon- veniGnt, it is undenlably necessary --other nations have found this to be true ct earlier dates and it involves no sacrifices equal to these faced by the members of our armed services.
 'Rationing is here for the dura. ton and possibly for Q short period Thereafter. It will have to be faced not only by individuals but also 1n the form of priority ratings or nllocation of GIMP. regulations, by Industrial units. Realistic accept. nrce of these facts will stimulate better understanding and more effi- olent handling.
 ''And finally, let it not be over. looked that rationing is providing our people with an educational pro. gram In dietary requirements, food and other living values, and budget ing of both standard money and ra. tioning coupon money that will prove an asset to this nations econ- omy long after history has recorded the complete failure of the Axis cause.
