Labor Need
Passes Peak
In Waterbury

Labor demands III the Waterbury
area were reported today to have
passed their peak, with small lay
offs continuing at some industrial
plants and nter-departmental
changes in progress in nearly all
factories here. Efforts to remove
the area from the critical labor
shortage" classification have been
started by union officials, and War
ManpoWer authorities, although
warning against too sudden eXpec-
tation, acknowledge that the trend
is away from the critical stage.
Fifty workers were dismissed from
the French Small Tube plant today
and SO more are to be laid off to-
morrow, bringing the total to 1870,
it was reported. Further changes
at the concern are expected to be
made next week. Several workers
have been dismissed at the Sco1ll
Mfg. Co., due to contract conSidera-
tions. Changes within the plants
have been reported at the Water
bury Tool Co., the Thin Sheet
Metals, Inc, and the American Me-
tails Hose factory.
A War Production Board probe
in connection with recent lay-offS
in the brass industries of the state,
including local plants, will be sought
by the International Union of Mine,
Mill and Smelter Workers, it was
disclosed today. The union claims
it is inconsistent to require employees
to secure statements of availability
in order to leave jobs and on the
other hand to have industries cause
involuntary lay-o1fs. Demands will
be made to remove the Critical"
areas from the classification because
of the lay-offs, it was reported.
RepercussiOnS
RepercuSsions against continual
ton of the 48-hour work week have
started in some quarters in Wa
terbury, it was learned today, but
War ManpoWer officials state that
changes in the workweek sched-

time.

and shifting of workers from one

HEAVILY FOR

London, December 8. -
(UP) - A huge British air
fleet, resuming an offensive
to level the surviving two
thirds of the smouldering
Nazi capital, turned Berlin
into a sea of fire last night
with 1900 TO 1900 tons Of
bombs.

Air Ministry announced in one OF
the most optimistic early communi-
ques ever issued on the results OF
raid.
The RAF paid the heaviest cost
of the current offensive against the
Germany capital however, with
losses in this arn subsidiary Mos
quito attack on western Germany
totalling Al planes.
Preliminary reports said the
heavy bolnbers, back into action
after a overnight weather-enforced
lull, literally fought their way all
across Axis Europe to Berlin and
back again with the bright moon
light silhouetting them for swarms
of night fighters and hundreds OF
anti aircraft batteries.
The weight Of explosives and fire
bombs dropped in last nights attack
boosted the tonnage unloaded on
Berlin during the past two weeks

In Vichy France

Bern, Dec. 3-UP)-The entire
diplomatic staff of the French en-
bassy in Switzerland except Ambas-
sador Francois Bard has resigned
in what was described today as a
protest against the policy of the
Vichy government.
AS soon as the mass resignation
was presented to Pierre Laval, the
Vichy chief of government, he took
the satisfaction of discharging the
already resigned diplomats, French
sources reported.
They included two counsellors,
the first secretary, the press attache
and the embassy attache. The
technical staff of the embassy, in
Guiding military, naval, air and
commercial attaches, remained at
their posts. An exception was the
financial attache, who also resigned.

Allied Headquarters, Southwest
Pacific, Dec. 3. (UP)-U. S. Marine
raiders killed 200 japanese in dar-
ing foray on Bougainville, a COM
munique disclosed today, and Liber-
ators possibly exacted toll OF

One escorting destroyer was hit
amidships with a 500-pound bomb
and a second on the stern with a

A 10,000-ton fully loaded trans
port, capable of carrying thousands
of troops, suffered direct hits that
caused an enveloping fire. She sank
quickly, probably carrying her cargo
to death. A tanker also was hit and
blazed up in a spectacular fire Wis

WHEREAS we, Rabbits of the
State of Florida, assembled at our
Sixth Annual Conference, recog-
nize the desperate plight of mil
lions of our fellow Jews in coun-
tries dominated by the Nazis and
Fascist enemies; and
WHEREAS we find ourselves
deeply stirred by the reported
mass murder of two million of our
brothers and sisters in Europe;
and by the conditions of home
lessness and starvation which
have overtaken thousands of our
brethren in other lands; and
WHEREAS we recognize the
grave danger to the continued ex-
istence of Israel inherent in the
present situation and we realize
the urgent need for worldwide
action for the purpose of saving
our people from humiliation, we
hereby resolve:

Rabbits of the State of Florida
call upon our respective commun-
tiles to set aside prayer service
for Divine Intercession during the

woke Gods help in this critical
hour for Israel and Humanity.

the expressions of sympathy of
our Christian neighbors and are
grateful for their prayers in be-
half of our sorely stricken breth-
rem.
3. That while we are fully
cOgnizant of the difficulties in
volved in bringing aid to those of
our brothers trapped in Nazi-
dominated Europe, we feel never
theless, greatly grieved at the
failure of the recent Anglo
American Conference in Bermuda
to devise effective plans of action
to save human lives and aid in
the resettlement of the thousands
of refugees and human beings
stranded in many lands, who are
suffering unbelievable hardships.
4. That we urge upon Great
Britain that the gates of Pales-
tine be opened to admit these ref

itate their lives on a permanent
basis as did thousands of others
during recent years, thereby con-
tributing to he remarkable
growth and development of Pal

and as an arsenal of Democracy
in the Middle East.

of the Western Hemisphere, in
Guiding the United States and
