Chance For Labor Craftsmanship

If the people suffer coal shortage this winter
the blame will have to be laid squarey in the lap Of
government and labor because the wage, labor, hour
and price question is wholly in their hands If work
men could only seeit, they are undermining the very
freedom they enjoy by forcing stricter government
control of their actions in order to maintain coal pro-
duction-and production will be maintained. Only
the most foohardy labor leaders will sanction labor
trouble in the coal mines now

Deserters, What Else?

The head of the American Legion in addressing
labor leaders, said that who lays down his tools
job to strike is just as guilty of an act of
treason as a soldier who deserts his post Of duty
Labor leaders bitterly assailed this viewpoint,
but their arguments are unconvincing. Morally it
is no less REASONABLE for man to throw down his
tools which provide soldier with equipment to fight
than it is for the soldier to throw down his weapons
and refuse to fight.
Strikes cannot justify desertion of war jobs In
leaving their posts, they are traitors to common
cause, even though they enjoy immunity from punish
ment such would be meted out to soldiers who
desert.

SNOW REMOVAL AIDES NEEDED
Spare Time Helpers on State Roads to Get 70
 Cents an Hour

Hartford, Dec. 24-The State Highway Department and the Unit ed States Employment Service have undertaken a joint effort to pro- cure spare time helpers on emer- gency snow removal work on state roads. The plan was developed through the efforts of State Per- sonnel Director Glendon A. Scobo- ria. Operating on the theory that the committing workers in industry cannot work if they cannot travel to their jobs the appeal is being directed to this group to devote their free time in storm periods to helping on blows and sand trucks.
 The plan is made necessary, 1t is pointed out by State Highway off, cials because of losses of personnel to the armed service and to war in- dustry and the absence of any oth- CT adequate reservoir of labor to provide replacements.
 The field operations of the new plan rest with the United States employment offices, under the gen. eral provisions of the federal man. power regulations. Persons desir- ing to undertake this snow removal work may secure assignment to available jobs by applying at the employment offices. Highway of- ficials point out that this work is not confined to persons now em- ployed but is available to all so long as vacancies exist.
 It is proposed to use persons oth- erwise employed who are willing to undertake the emergency work. During the regular working hours, Monday through Friday from 7:3O a. m. to 500 p. m. and Saturday from 7:30 &. m. to 12:30 p. m., the pay rate is 70 cents an hour and outside of those hours the over- time rate of time and one half amounts to $1.05 an hour.

STANDARD ROAD
 SIGN PROPOSED
State Boundary Marks Not Complete Says Highway
 Commissioner

Hartford, Dec 24-With fifty-five points of entrance where Connecti- cut state roads meet the highways of the three adjoining states, the State Highway Department is con- sulting with other states in the country to determine the advis- ability of developing a distinctive standard sign for such points.
 In making this known today, State Highway Commissioner Will liam J. Cox pointed out that this is a logical extension of the plan whereby for many years. Connec- ticut has designated by signs the places where state highways inter sect town lines.
 While Connecticut already has some signs on state highways where the roads intersect the state bound- ary there is neither complete nor standard marking. Such distinc- tive signs, it is pointed out, are of great significance to the travelling public in determining exact loca- tion and, of course, are valuable to police and other public authorities in the exercise oi official duties.

SEVEN APPEALS
 FACE TRIBUNAL
State Supreme Court of Errors to Assign Local
 Hearings Shortly

Seven appeals from local court decisions. including that of the City of Waterbury in the Porter estate case, have been entered on the State Supreme Court of Errors January docket, released today, and definite assignments are expected to be made in several when the cases are called Wednesday, De- cember 29, in the Hartford court.
 The Porter case has not yet been printed and is not expected to be heard until later next year. A de- cision on a motion of the heirs to erase the city's appeal and also that of the Waterbury Trust company is still pending. The city is seeking to gain use of the $200,000 estate for trade school project. It's ap- peal is based on a decision of Superior Court Judge Frank P. Mc- Evoy who ruled such use would be contrary to provisions of the will. Cases which are printed and may be assigned next week include those brought against the City of Waterbury by the estate of John McKeeman! and by John Broderick. The two men were injured in 1885 when they fell from scafford while making repairs at Leavenworth high school. The issues were found for the city at the superior court hearing here.
 One other case which is printed and ready for a hearing is that of Adele L. Comcomich against Mi- chael and Mary Zaparyniuk. An application for a rectification of the appeal was recently filed. The plaintiff obtained a superior court judgment of $4,979. 79 claiming the defendants failed to return funds she placed in their care. The appeal was filed by the defendants.
 The appeal of the Republican American, Inc, from the $15,0O0 award made to Margaret Scorpion is among the others listed on the docket. The young girl sued as the result of an eye injury allegedly sustained when a piece of wire used to bind newspapers hit her when she picked it up in front of her Highland avenue home. The ap- peal is based on denial of a motion to set aside the jury verdict. The transcript has not yet been printed.
 Other cases entered are on the docket are those of Anna Svetloff Christian against George Rupps, in- volving a defendants appeal, and the Atchison will litigation.
 The Christian suit involves a property dispute. The plaintiff claimed the defendant set up fence through Beacon Falls prop erty which he sold to her, and won a decision from Common Pleas Court Judge Richard Swain.

The Meonino .OfChristmos

Washington, Dec. M-(UP) - For millions of human beings, this Christmas will be another day of misery.
 In many a once tranquil land the world around, suffering will be piled upon suffering, and death will be the only escape.
 Thousands of young Americans who but lately believed in Santa Claus will not know Christmas this year because they are dead. For thousands more this will be the last Christmas.
 The casualty lists to date Show 29,e50 dead, 41,05O wounded, 32,O72 missing, and 28,733 prisoners of the enemy.
 This week the nations war leaders somberly predicted nearly 100000 new casualties in the next 90 days.
 Against this background of con tinuing or--compounded by economic, labor, and political dis cord at home what meaning has Christmas. 1943, for the people of the United States?
 The question was put to scores of persons, distinguished and undis- tinguished, at dinner parties, on street corners, in office buildings. Those questioned included many whose sons. brothers or sweethearts are numbered among the $500 900 Americans now on duty at sea or overseasa total expected to reach nearly 6,250,OO0 by next Christmas. Answers to the question revealed a variety of moods and natures. some were cynical, disappointed, bit- ter. Many reflected the profound loneliness of solitary individuals sep arated from their families and friends. Many were filled with hope, faith, and conviction that the world one day will be well.
 The head of an important branch of an important war agency said: Were lot closer to the end of the war than we were last year--That's s what this Christmas means to me It's another notch to cut i'll the stick that marks the days until final victory"
 A man waiting for bus thought 1 a W1liie anG said: I'm still senti- mental about Christmas. I think of the Star of Bethlehem and of those blue stars, and the gold ones. you see in windows. If the Christmas spirit, and the golden rule, prevail ed every day, everywhere, we'd never again have to hang out those blue stars, or the gold ones.'
 It was an army officer with serv- ice ribbons and combat stars on his chest who said: T still stand by St. Luke" He referred to this passage:
 And the angel said unto them, fear not: For, Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy.
 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a saviour, which is Christ the Lord. ..

MARY PICKFORD
 PARALYSIS AIDE
Actress Heads Front Linz CTS" for Nations Infan-
 tile Campaign

Mary Pickford has been appointed to head a permanent women's div ision of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, Basil O'Con- nor, its president, announced today
 Members of this new nationwide auxiliary will be known as "the Front Liners" and will build up a reserve of woman power in support of the fight against infantile paral- ysis, especially in the event of ser- ious epidemics of the disease.
 The women not only will help raise funds during the annual March of Dimes, which occurs this year from January IA to 31, but will participate in a year-round program of the National Foundations 5000 local chapters throughout the coun- try.
 The new unit is being organized primarily as a direct result of the 1943 epidemic of infantile paralysis, which was the worst in twelve years, MT. O'Connor explained. "It is sig nif1cant that this new auxiliary of the National Foundation Is being headed by Americas Sweetheart J who will be able to lend to it the warmth and human kindness which is such an important part of morals building. AS we know better since we became engaged in this global conflict. morals is such terrific power in any war, and it is equally important in the fight against such a disease enemy as infantile paril- ysis.
 "The 1943 epidemic taught us that we must have a reserve of woman power ready at all times to aid in this important work. Women al- ways have done very great job for the National Foundation in our state and local chapters, particular ly. We believe this move will add great deal of strength to the organization
 In each state Miss Pickford will appoint an outstanding woman to serve as state chairman of the newly Woman's Division of the National Foundation. Women's committees will be formed in all communities throughout the United States and their immediate task will be to assist in the fight against infantile paralysis between January 14th and 31st.

waterbury's emergency fuel of- flee will be closed tomorrow and Sunday, 1t was announced today by Edward Balthazar, fuel administra- tor, but Cae local concern will re- main open Sunday to distribute coal in cases of emergency.
 MT. Balthazar said the Citizens coal yards will serve as headquar- ters and persons who run out ot coal over the weekend will be able to get supplies by calling personally No deliveries will be made, however.
 The administrator said the state offlce suggested placing of hags of coal at firehouSes for emergency cases over the weekend, but dealers here felt the manpower and equip ment problems here would hinder such action. The dealers decided to set up single headquarters in- stead, he stated.
 Many complains on bituminous coal have been made and today the emergency office received a "sur- prise" when a woman called to state the hard coal delivered was not satisfactory and she wanted soft coal instead. The caller, who came here from the midwest several days

Says Bolivia
 Is Anti-Axis

Washington, Dec. 24-CUP)-Enri- que de Lozada, who resigned a job with the U. s. Government to be- come confidential agent" for the new government of Bolivia, sought today to convince American officials that the new Bolivian regime was anti-Axis and represented "a revolu- tion of the masses"
 His plea for American recognition will be based primarily on the C. h. tention that the new revolutionary government is the first in the last 50 years of Bolivia's history not to be dominated by the tin mining inter eSts.
 His task admittedly was difficult in view of secretary of state Cordell Hulls hint that outside influence unfriendly to the Allied cause might have played a part in the Bolivian coup detat led by Victor Paz Estenssoro, leader of the na- tional revolutionary movement and the new finance minister.
 De Lozada, whose post in the U. s. government had been that of special advisor to Nelson Rockefel- Ter, coordinator of nter-American affairs, accepted his new position aware of the state departments at titude. His obje tive, he revealed, was to change that attitude.
 De Lozada said at press con ference yesterday that he had not been offered the post of Bolivian ambassador and that his present title of confidential representative was merely the name given to a rep resentative of a government before it is recognized. Discussing the polit- ical complexion of the new Bolivian regime, he said:
 T am absolutely confident that the new regime is anti-Axis. It can be described as the little Bourge- oiSe" come to power. If 1t was not l wouldn't be here in the office of the Bolivian embassy. And if should find out that I am mistaken, will not remain here another minute.
 This is a revolt in the deep sense of the word. It has deep popular support. It is indigenous.
 "There have been only three real revolutions in the history of Bolivia --the revolution of independence, the revolution of 1889 against colon ial aristocracy based on silver and land wealth, and the present revolu- tion against control of the country by three big tin mine operators"
 My appointment as an agent of the new government here shows that it wants to be friendly with the Un- tied States" he said. Int last gov ernment, which acclaimed its own good relations with the United States and which the American gov ernment recognized, actually bick- cred and refused to cooperate with the United States on quinine. In contrast the new government is showing real goodwill by announc- ing it's readiness to cooperate on quinine shipments.

The policies of USO relating to e1ne paid and unpaid services rend- cred to men and women of the arm Cd forces and war production work CTS have been stated by Ray Johns. Director of Operations, Continental United States, in a bulletin to dt- Tectors of nearly 2800 operations in this country.
 Mir. Johns Said:-
 "Our clubs furnish many things towels, use of swimming pools. juke boxes, the provision of cookie jars and hard candy jars, the use of club rooms, opportunities for dancing, pool and billiard tables, and many other things.
 @On the other hand we make a charge, at absolute cost, for food and beverages, tobacco. discs for voice letters, and for sleeping &C., Uommodations. You will see that this must be so. The general distribu- eton, for instance, of tobacco, bever- ages, food and lodging without charge would cost several hundred millions yearly. :.
 "A policy of giving handouts would be contrary to the funda- mental aim of USO and to the ex- pressed advice of the military auth critics.
 "Our aim is to maintain and build Ehe self respect and the responsiD- flity of the individual as an Amer acan citizen. The military authorl- Gies dislike handout policy as being detrimental to morale and discipline ard they have been especially in sistent upon a charge for sleeping accommodations The prices charged for these items are kept as uniform As possible.
