discussion of the work being done by auxiliary policemen and auXil- iary f1remen ill Civilian Defense.
 Expressing the hope that the fed eral fire fighting equipment would remain in the state after the war, MT. Woodcock said that Connecticut lis getting several hundred thou sand dollars worth of service" from auxiliary firemen and policemen who work as volunteers without pay.
 In many rural communities where volunteer fire departments have been stripped by the draft and men going into war plants, vacancies in the ranks of these companies have been filled frequently by auxiliary firemen, MT. Woodcock said. In some towns auxiliary firemen an- swer all alarms along with volun- teer companies.
 "In my opinion, think that after this war is over, some system of auxiliary fire and police protection will be continued locally because it has proved so effective" MT. Wood cock said.
 State Police Commissioner Ed ward J. Hickey, who is chairman of the Fire and Police Protection com- mittees of the State War Council, said that volunteer auxiliary state police contributed total of 12,667 hours of service in September and II ,480 in October in assisting state police. The 1900 auxiliary state po- licemen, supervised by regular state police, perform 43 different types of police duties including patrol work, office duty, traffic duty and guarding bridges, Commissioner Hickey said.
 On the basis of records, Commis- sioner Hickey said, the average aux Hilary state policeman lis a hard working conscientious fellow" who is performing an extremely valu- able service to the state.'
 Police Chief John M. Gleason of Greenwich discussed the work of local police auxiliaries in that city and expressed high praise for their work. Greenwich has force of 150 fully trained and fully armed aux Hilary policemen. Chief Gleason said. Represented in this group are bankers, lawyers, engineers, brokers and war workers, he said.
 AS the result of the creation of the auxiliary police force from the

ranks of Civilian Defense, Green Wich has had tremendous amount of police work done' and the gen. eral problem of police work has been placed before the public, Chief Glea- son said.
 Paul P. Heinz, chief of the New Haven fire department, credited the 150 fire auXiliaries in that city with helping general fire protection.
 The auxiliaries have taken care of many nuisance fires such as dump fires which frequently call equipment and men away for as long as 48 hours at time, Chief Heinz said. He also credited them with cutting down the number of false alarms by patroling fire alarm box areas over holiday periods.
 In addition, Chief Heinz said, New Haven has a fire boat crew consist ing of auXiliaries who can man the boat themselves or who can assist the regular fire crew in the event of a waterfront fire.
 At present Connecticut has more than 10000 volunteer auxiliary fire men; nearly 5000 local auxiliary policemen under local police super vision and 1900 auxiliary state po- licemen under Commissioner Hickey

this hall with fancy talk. So let's get going
 America is carrying the ball in this game, but not one need be afraid we won't obey the rules. The State Department controls Mir. Lehman, MT. Lehman controls the executive side of the Unrra, and the Big Four can keep him in office as long as they like.
 Tn addition to that: of the A members, IT are Latin- American. They aren't any too eager to get MT. Hull cross with them, and furthermore they have coffee, and sugar and other relief supplies to sell.
 FOR IMMEDIATE USE
 One of the first squabbles to tackle was the demand of some governments n-exile that relic f supplies needed by their countries be earmarked at once, and left to them for distribution when the Allied Forces liberate their coun- tries. But our State Department objected, preferring to have the UNRA function along lines of the War Production Board. The idea is: don't tie up scarce but currently available supplies for future emer- gency. Get what's on hand to where it is most direly needed and trust to luck and modern production for the future.
 Poland will need, for example, millions of pairs of shoes. But we can't get them into Poland now. Instead of being earlnarked for the future, they will be shipped at once to Sicily or Russia, or any other liberated area for immediate use.
 If it continues to work out, vic- tory for international effort will be chalked up against human ornrey- ness, understandable lf-interest and the universal desire to play politics. We fumbled relief after the last war, but leaders ill the UNRRA believe those mistakes can be avoid- ed this time.

Strikes Anger Men

Army Chaplain, Former Union City Curate, Plays
 WalkOuts in Talk to FBI at Long Island Farley

Garden City, L. l., Nov. IT. Soldiers on the front lines believe that strikers in war industries should be put in useful Army disciplined work on the front lines, Lieutenant Bernard J. Butcher, of the Army Chaplain Corps, said yesterday at meeting here of the Quarterly Conference of the Fed eral Bureau of Investigation.
 Lieutenant Butcher, recently re- turned after serving in the African and Italian campaigns, told 175 po- lice officers, sheriff's deputies and
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-11-17

members of other law enforcement bodies in Nassau and Suffolk Coun- ties, that in talks with hundreds of soldiers under fire he heard the same opinions about civilian SUD- port.
 Soldiers point out that military personnel who violate certain rules are shot, Lieutenant Butcher said. They ask that the same punish ment be meted out for violations of equal seriousness at home, he said. Word of strikes brought about expressions of disgust and demands that the government control war industries, he said.
 Other speakers at the conference were Charles E. Donelen, F. B. l. laboratory expert who outlined scientific approaches to solving crimes.
 New Haven, Nov. 17.-Lieutenant Bernard J. Butcher, son of MT. and Mrs. Bernard A. Butcher of 176 Gilbert avenue, came home on fur tough several weeks ago to recover fully from an illness contracted in North Africa. He plans to report for duty next Sunday, his father said.
 He looks better to me now than he ever did, despite the rough life he had to lead over there," MT Butcher said of his son in reporting his full recovery from the illness. During the time he has beer home, his father said, the chaplain has said little about his experiences with fighting men and at the fronts.
 Father Butcher, who is 31 years old, has g. younger brother, Louis, q, who is private, first class, in the Army, stationed in Tennessee. Born in New Hsven, Father But cher attended St. Johns school and New Haven high school before go- ing to St. Thomas Seminary in Bloomfield. Later he studied at St. Bernard's Seminary in Rochester, N. Y, then went to the seminary at Eichstaett in Germany for fur ther studies. It was there that he ] was ordained on June 29, 1886, after three years of studying at the sem- | mary.
 On October 10, 1886, he was ap- pointed a curate at St. Mary's church in Union City and on Sep- tember 27, 1941, he became assistant pastor at Blessed Sacrament church in Bridgeport.
 He entered the Army as a chap lain on August 13, 1942, reporting to Fort Bragg but was soon on his way abroad and was with the troops when they began the North African invasion on November 8, 1942, re- maining with them all the way from Casablanca to Bizerte. For some time after the completion of the Tunisian campaign he remained in that area, attached to a hospital where he talked with and comforted the wounded and the dying.

Mite Life
Stage & Band

Louis Jordan the "0utskirts of
Town" man, is coming back to New
York soon after his record smash
ing trip with the Pabst Blue Rib
bon show is over. Jordan, four
years ago was just another sax
player eking out a bare living at
Johnny Baroness El&s Rendezvous
which at that time was a decidedly
unglamOrOus looking layout. q.
Louie, who hailed originally from
Arkansas, kept plugging away. g..
He kept his five piece outfit well
grOOmed and the members with
their ''heads in them books" .
He introduced his own style Of
singing to Rendezvous patrons in
those days and the folks liked it.
Later, Jordan got a few breaks
like working at the Harlem Opera
House and one or two dates at the
Apollo theatre. But it wasn't
until Frank Schiffman put on
Abram Hills celebrated comedy,
"On Strivers Row." with the must
cal score by James P. Johnson, Dan
Burley and Jesse Stone that Jordan
came into his own.
Somebody was needed to play the
part of a character, Joe, The liver,
and Burley suggested Jordan O..
Louis came in and worked the week
the musical was on display. 1t
rained all week and the crowd was
kept down thereby, but there were
producers and agents in the audi
ence and one saw JOrdan's work
and liked it. . From there on in,
Louis Jordan was made. He
soon disappeared from Harlem and
long after most folk had forgotten
him, ''I'm Gonna Move on the Out
skirts of Town" came out on the
juke boxes. 1t swept the city;
it swept the nation. Louis JOr-
dan hit the top. Now he's head
ing back to Harlem with his tight
little five piece crew and is lined up
for a stand at LOew's State on
Broadway.
The producers wanted Wilhelmina
Gray, but didn't want Bobby Gray,
her partner. . The team, Tonde-
laya and Lopez, was featured at the
Ubangi Club on Broadway at the
time. Wilhelmina wanted Holly
wood and gave up Lopez, or Bobby
Gray, for the chance. He got
sore and decided to replace her:
His choice: 1.-THE, graceful and
sleek Marion Egbert, dancing in
the Ubangi Chorus. Bobby
drilled Marion nightly in his rOu-
tines, taught her some of the in
tricacies of exotic dancing and to-
day they are well on the road some
where, maybe to the top.

Prejudice

closed my eyes and held them
tight
To shut out visions of a frightful
sight.
For who can see such horror
wrought
And not be stepped in mournful
thought.
Stupid pawns, depraved greeds bait
Beasts gone mad with burning hate.
Has prejudice so dulled mans mind
That they cannot the answer find?
In every planted hate they spread
The reason for their many dead,
Divide and rule, both church and
race
The boomerang that brought dis
grace.
l held my ears with all my might
Yet heard their cries all through
the night,
The hanging Negroes, the martyred
Jew
Exploited labor by the mighty few.
Still-even measured by fascist
scale
Their blood was red, their tears
were pale.
o! how sweet shall vengeance be
When all the world is truly free,
And the germ of hate, of lust and
greed,
Upon which Fascism doth breed
Amputated as the cause of strife,
To build for man better life.
