In a magnanimous challenge, John J. Driscoll, Robinson's opponent in the recent election, offered to re- sign as internatioal representative, if the president would give up his office. Robinson refused.
 While a motion regarding Com munists holding office was on the floor, Robinson was asked point blank to deny that he was a Com munist. According to reports. the president replied, T am an Ameri- can and a Christian as much as you are, and I refuse to answer that question"
 Driscoll's suggestion was that Rob- inson withdraw in favor of James Byrnes, a third candidate in the re- cent union election. However, the presidents silence was interpreted as refusal.
 While the battle of words waxed hotter, 10 policemen patrolled the sidewalk in front of the Y. M. 0. A., and at one point, two motor patrol cars were ordered to the scene. Anthony Bosco said this morning that he quelled flstic flareups with out the assistance of police.
 Robinson, though still registered at a local hotel, could not be reached this morning for statement. A brief report was issued yesterday by his headquarters regarding the busi- ness of the meeting. Presentation of current disputes to the War Labor Board, was favored Ben RiSkin, union research agent, stated that. a thorough survey of Connecticut wages in the brass industry would be made shortly by a government agency.
 According to Bosco, motions were made to denounce Robinson and the executive board for the manner in which referendum votes were dis counted from valley locals. The Dris- col headquarters ayers that 2,500 votes, the majority of them cast for their candidate, were thrown out in the balloting because they were registered on company prop perty, in violation of an executive board ruling. ...
 Indication today were that further pyrotechnics in the union dispute will be postponed until representa- tives have conferred with 0. I. o. President Philip Murray some time next week.

 Episcopal Letter
 Bishop McAuliffe's statement fol- lows:
 "'Give your blood to save a life is the slogan of the American Red Cross in our great war effort. This blood is used as plasma for our owll soldiers, sailors and marines on the seven seas and on all battleflelds This blood plasma is the means of saving the lives of many boys in a!l parts of the world.
 Tt is claimed that blood plasma is the greatest medical aid in the treatment of shock and it tckes sometimes seven to ten pints before the injursd soldier is out of danger
 Donating our blood gives us a vital share in the success of our arms. It will make us conscious ot the tremendous effort needed to win a victory with the least possible loss of life in our armed forces. It will make the soldiers, sailors and ma- rines mindful of the support we are giving them and that we seriously plan to hclp them in the way of rehabilitation.
 "The amount needed in the next six months is three million dona- Jions of blood. If you are in good health visit the local donor Inter in your town and have a real part in winning the war"

TOWNS TOCOMPETE IN SALVAGE DRIVE
State to Be Divided Into
 Five Districts for Tin I Collection

Hartford, Jan. 11-Towns of Con- necticut will be divided into five divisions, according to population for the purpose of tin can collection competition, 1t was announced today by W. T. Bissell, in charge of tin salvage for the State Salvage conn., mittee. A monthly award consisting of tin salvaged by the crew of the U. s. Cruiser San Francisco, suit ably mounted on a board for pres entation, will be awarded to the town having the best per capita col- lection of tin cans in each division.
 The tin cans were discharged for detinning and salvage, and the Cal- ifornia Salvage committee secured a small quantity at the request of the Connecticut Salvage committee, to be awarded as prizes here.
 "The moral suggested by the prizes is as plain as Pearl Harbor," said MT Bissell today. If @ group of our heroic fighters has saved and pre- pared a collection of used tin cans, surely 1t will show the citizens of Connections that this" kind of sal- wage is desperately needed. Surely institution will want to do as much as the shorthanded crew which brought the cruiser successfully through the battle and back to our shores, yet took time to make the tin and steel of the can available for use in battles yet to come"
 Awards will be made in the fol- lowing five divisions: over 99,000; communities between 25,000 and 99,- 900; communities between 5000 and 25,000; communities between 2,000 and 5000: communities under 2y000. The trophies may be kept for one month and must then be passed to the winner in the same division for the succeeding month. ...

CHURCHES MEETING. FUEL EMERGENCIES
Services Held in Basement of Zion Lutheran Church
 Yesterday Morning

Further curtailments due to the fuel shortage were evidenced yes- terday in Waterbury churches. The congregation of the Zion Evangeli- cal Lutheran church held morning worship in the church basement at an improvised altar, while the cl1oir sang with the piano instead of the, usual organ accompaniment.

 Both churches, 1t was learned, ill- stalled oil heating systems last year. The usual difhculties contingent upon the conversion to coal, are heightened in both cases because of a lack of storage space.
