FOR FUEL BOOKS
Civilian Defense Issues
Special Call to Aid Oil
Ration Panel

Mrs. Mark L. Sperry, Jr., chair
man of the current Civilian De-
Tense Volunteer Office drive, has
announced 100 volunteers are need
ed to aid the local fuel oil ration
panel in tailoring the new ration
books. The work is conducted from
7 to 9 p. m. at the ration board
headquarters
The drive, which was undertaken
to secure 1000 additional volunteer
workers, is progressively well, the
chairman stated, with hundreds of
persons stopping at the special
booths in the downtown section to
secure information. Fifty registra-
tons were received Thursday night
when the drive opened, she said.
The special campaign will continue
for one week.
In charge of booths yesterday
were members of the Waterbury

EXCEPTIONS MADE
FOR WAR PLANTS
May Resume Operations in
Blackout After Ten=Min=
utes Suspension

Edward J. Hickey, acting admins
traitor of the State War Council in
formed the Waterbury Council yes
terday that the war factories in
Connecticut may resume production
after a 10-minute observance Of
blackout precautions during future
air raid tests.
Mr.. Hickey's announcement was
received by the local defense au-
thorities, said Secy. Frank J. Green
and presumably is the result of pro-
tests registered after the most re-
cent practice alert commanded by
the Army in which the 'red" period
lasted &c minutes.
Many Waterbury industries illum-
mated their buildings after a 10
minute compliance, while American
Brass Co. and Chase Brass & Cop
per Company complied with the
blackout until the second blue"
signal was sent out.
1t was also revealed that although
the blackout test was untimely for
shift changes, none of the local fac
tories made any complaints to the
Army officials-hoWever, factories in
other cities did The moral of the
test was that civilian defense Off
Gals realize the purpose of being
prepared at any time"

the Fourth; Statistical Report Given on Local
Accidents Since January

States celebrating its independence.
July 4, 1913, finds it fighting to
preserve that independence. To
gain the victory that will insure
future celebrations Of Independence
Day, America needs every ounce of
manpower and every scrap of vital
war material she can muster into
service.
This year. of all years, we cannot
afford the huge toll of life and pro-
perty that Fourth of July accidents
invariably bring. This year, of all
years, every American must be alive
on the Fifth-alive and able to do
his part in speeding victory.
In spite of the ban on pleasure
driving there still will be heavy
traffic on the Fourth. Factories
will keep on working, over the no.
liday. that no time may be lost in
turning out the weapons of war.
Thousands of war workers will be
going to and from their jobs, de-
spite the holiday. To this necessary
travel will be added the holiday
traffic-light, but still a burden.
This Fourth of July, as never be-
fore, the public and the police must
unite in preventing accidents that
delay victory. The preservation of
American independence demands it,
Let's put victory first on the
Fourth"

Auto Fatalities On Local Streets Reduced 50 Per Cert
WATERBURY Low
in TIN D RIVE.
Committee Discovers Tons
of Needed Material in
Public Dumps

]. Warren Upson, local salvage
committee chairman, revealed today
that Waterbury stood Oath in a re-
cent survey of tin can salvage fig
ures among Is cities and towns. The
city has contributed $50 pounds OF
tin cans per 1000 capita, lower than
any other listed with the exception
of Norwalk which has averaged ITO
pounds.
The pounds per 1000 population
per month in other cities and towns
are: Hartford, SAB; New Haven,
500; Bridgeport, 200; Naugatuck,
3o5; Bristol, 448; Watertuwn, 1893;
Cheshire, SOL; Middlebury, $780,;

Stamford, 344; West Hartford, 958;
Southington, 81; New London, 294;
West Haven, 1853; and New Britain,
412.
The mystery was solved Thursday
when representatives of the state
salvage committee investigated the
city dumps and discovered, to their
establishment, thousands of dis
carded cans. The purpose of this
tour, said Mr.. Upton, was made to
find out whether or not salvage ma
terial which the country needs was
being dumped and allowed to rust
The chairman said persons who
DISCARD tin cans in such a fashion
are voluntarily aiding the Axis by
performing acts of sabotage on the
home front. He hopes that the tin
can collection scheduled for July
10 will bring good results, on the
streets south of East and West Main
streets.

First signs OF break IN the dead
lock, which forced scores of govern
ment Offices to begin the new fiscal
years penniless, came in the senate
yesterday. 1t surrendered its efforts
to defeat the house ban on salaries
of three government employees oc-
cused of subversive associations, and
accepted the house prohibition
against the National Labor Rela-
tons board holding labor elections
in plants where labor contracts ex-
listed without complaint for three
months.
However, the house still must act
on the three employees compromise
which would permit them to remain
on government payrolls until next
November Is when they would have
to be reappointed by the president
and confirmed by the senate. There
were indications that the house
would fight even this compromise
and insist upon immediate severance
of the men. They are Robert Morss
Lovett, Virgin Islands secretary, and
William E. Dodd, Jr., and Goodwin
B. Watson, of the Federal Communi-
cations commission.
At any rate another senate-house
conference on the deficiency meas
ure will be necessary for the two
houses to write into the bill a clause
making retroactive its funds to July
l.
In considering the War Agencies
report the house will vote on the
compromise allowing the Office of
War Information domestic branch
S2,750,000, the conference figure, in
stead of nothing as it has insisted.
1t will decide also on the conference
recommendation of $155,0OO000 for
the Office of Price Administrator
when it originally voted $3.50, 100000.
The OPA controversy was further
complicated yesterday when Price
Administrator PrentIss M. Brown
wrote Democratic leader Alben
Barley of Kentucky that adoption
of the conference figure would leave
mo chance for price control to con-
tinue."
Brown made three objections to
the cut:
l. 1t would reduce OPA's funds
far below the agencys present oper-
ating rate and make impossible the
hiring of additional enforcement
officers;
2. The amendment banning grade
labelling and food Standardization
would break down dollars and-cents-
ceilings OH meat and other articles;
3. The amendment requiring price
officials ito have had previous bus
mess experience in each commodity
upon which the official works" will
destroy price control.
OPA now has 2,6OO Investigators
for the country and Brown had
asked for funds to hire 1900 more.
The house yesterday threw both
the agriculture and interior bills
back into conference. 1t refused to
approve $7,818,748 for crop insurance
in the agriculture measure, and de-
clined to grant $4,000,000 for con-
struction of water conservation and
