COUNCIL ABANDONS
WEEKLY MEETINGS
War Committee to Meet on
Call of Chair; Splendid
Record Established

After 20 months Of consecutive
Friday afternoon meetings. the lo-
cal War Council Committee yester-
day agreed to conduct all future
meetings subject to the call Of the
chair.
This long and conscientious rec
ord Is believed to be one Of the fin
est ever established in the city.
Started by the late Mayor Scully
the group has met faithfully every
Friday afternoon at 3 p. m. since
to discuss and plan the various
protective measures comprising
Waterbury's civilian defense oper-
atoms.
The reasons given for the discon-
tinuance Of these meetings was that
the various services represented
within the council have so con-
cretely established their protective
systems by now that there Is no
further need for these routine
meetings except in cases Of emer-
gency or some radical change In
the normal set-up.
These meetings Will be replaced,
It was announced by chairman
Mayor John s. Monagan, by con.
ferences OF the Citizens Service
Corps, headed by executive chair
man J. Francis Smith. This corp
handles all the workings and PLAN
ming of such community services as,
scrap campaigns, War bond cam.
paigns, and all other similar pro.
grams.
The creation OF an emergency Of
flee TO handle imperative cases Of
tire recapping similar TO the fuel
emergency setup was suggested at
the meeting OF the Waterbury War
Council yesterday afternoon by
Theodore Scott-Smith, chairman Of
the subcommittee on transporta.
ton. The plan would involve the
cooperation OF all tire recapping
agencies In the city.

central area the controls will take
force here as well as in the other
critical areas, 1t was reported.
Members OF the area VINO labor
management committee have OBJ
jected to the controlled llirings pro-
gram and a recommendation for
exclusion from the CONTROLLED hir-
ing area is still pending in the Bos-
ton regional VINO headquarters. 1t
was pointed out today, however,
that priorities on referral can be in
force TO some degree without nee
essarily requiring the use Of the
controlled hirings plan.
Classification lists of the various
factories In Waterbury and sur
rounding towns have been compiled
and the priorities organizational
work has ben completed here, with
only "go signal needed before the
program will take effect, 1t was re-
ported. Tho classifications have
been devised to allocate available
manpower and are as follows: Glass
A, plants which will be permitted
to expand beyond present levels;
Glass B, plants which will be per-
mitted to hire requirements only;
Glass G, plants which will receive
no workers, even as requirements.
No revelation has been made
which local factories stand highest
on the list here and will secure
first consideration In placement Of
new workers.
Miss Edna Harmon, ;'tin~ man.
ager of the U. s. Employment Serv-
ice who also has been assisting at
the local VINO office In the absence
Of Director Mary M. Dewey, said
the controls are not operating "at
the moment" She said, however,
that plans have been devised In de-
tail by the Hartford VINO office
and q directive Is awainted at the
VINO office.
Ratings and ceiling limits are de.
termined by a special committee set
up by the VINO office and including
representatives of the Army, Navy,
War Production Board, and Selec-
tive Service. The ratings will vary
as needs change, 1t has been report
cd.
The top rating for the whole GEN.
trail area has been assigned to the
ball bearing industry In Bristol,
considered one of the most import
ant units In war production, the
State VINO has announced. Listing

SHORTAGE OF
PENNIES HERE
Banks Unable to Meet De.
mand of Merchants;
Youngsters May Help

Along with wartime shortages Of
foods and gasoline, Waterbury to-
day is faced by the greatest penny
famine in history, a survey Of local
banks revealed.
High executive officers, whose
brains are adjusted to the niceties
of figuring credit risks running into
millions, are concentrating upon
wheeling prompt deposits Of PEN
MES and cutting down the demands
Of big penny Users.
Arthur T.. Edmond of the Water
bury Ne ..ional bank said he had Or
dered $1,000 worth of pennies from
tho Federal Reserve bank in Bos-
ION a week ago, and to date had not
received single copper.
The biggest drain on pennies
from their increased use in payrolls
subject to the various Withholding
taxes. The Waterbury National bank
uses about $500 to $50 dollars
worth every week for payroll en-
velopes.
Other increased demands for pen
MES comes from cigarette machines
7-cent hot dogs. 7-cent drinks,
IL cent cigars, and federal ex-
else taxes. Mr.. Ermond said one
customer alone draws 1000 pennies
every week for use as change In his
cigarette vending machines.
The local Federal Reserve bank
expects to have enough pennies in
a few days to allot few hundreds
to hard pressed banks. Meanwhile
1t has sent out circular letter to
all banks urging them to turn over
any surplus Of the rare coin.
Among the causes Of the shortage
Is believed tendency among child
rem TO keep the bright new zinc PEN
MES for souvenirs, instead OF using
them as the medium OF exchange
for which they were intended.
Some hope OF relief is held out
to the banks next week, for the mint
has been concentrating upon the
penny shortage. There are rumors
that the director OF the mint may
make another popular appeal short
ly for the return Of pennies in pri-
Vate stocks.
Meanwhile, local bank officials
urge everyone to break open the
piggy banks and trade the contents
for war stamps or at least quarters
aud dollarbills.

NEWS OF CONNECTICUT

Director william j. Fitzgerald said
today that industrial plants In the
Hartford and New Britain areas
hereafter would be limited as to
the number Of workers they can
employ.
These plants also will operate
under priority schedule, with the
commission assigning workers first
to the most vital industries, and
then to other manufacturers in ac-
cordance to their contribution to
the war effort.
AS for the labor ceiling, Fitzger-
aid said central Connecticut plants
had been divided into three cate
gories:
Glass A, which will be allowed to
expand their labor force beyond
present levels.
Glass B, which will be allowed
only to hire requirements.
Glass G, to which no labor will
be referred, even for requirements.
Fitzgerald said that "in general
throughout the state, the tendency
has been strongly in the direction
Of fuller utilization of available
labor and towards reducing there
has been some success In these eff
forts, but there Is still much more
to be accomplished"

Mill and Shelter Workers Union,
last night stated that the labor dis
pute between the Scovill Company,

ed down decision at that time

pute to the National Labor Rela-
