TWO WOMEN LOSE
 APPEAL IN COURT
Unemployment Con1pensa- ton Denied Pair on Un-
 usuIa Complaint

Unemployment compensation ap- peals instituted in superior court by two women residents of North Scituate, R.. T., were dismissed by Judge Robert L. Munger today. The women, Susan Hopkins Verchot and Lillian Rosenquist, claimed they were entitled to unemployment compensation since they were un- able to obtain transportation to work.
 Commissioner Margaret Verdon had ruled the women in effect were not unavailable for work. One of them, Mrs. Verchot, restricted her. self to a particular shift because of home responsibilities, and there by imposed handicap on the U. s. Employment Service in finding her a job, the commissioner ruled. It was pointed out no efforts were made to secure private cars, and that one of the women had ex- pressed an intention to use her own car but failed to do so. No public transportation was available.
 Mrs. Verchot, it was disclosed, left her job when another enploye with whom she rode to her employment left. Both women had been em- ployed by the Acme Cotton Products Co. in East Killingly. The appeals from the commissioner ruling were filed several months ago, and the dismissal was ordered today in the rresence of Attorney Harry Silver stone of Hartford, who represented the unemployment commissioner and state.

Choo-choo To Tokyo PiIoted By GI Joe

BY MA sERYTCE

All roads lead to Berlin and Tok- yo, wherever CT railroaders of the Military Railway Service man loco- motives in war zones of five con- tinents. And CT Casey Joneses are running railroads from Iran to NeB Caledonia and from Alaska to North Africa.
 Working closely with the Gen. eral Staff, the Military Railway Service lays its plan as much as a year ahead of a scheduled attack. This means requisitioning the right types of locomotives and spare parts to fit varying gauges of the rail- ways in territories to be conquered
 A mighty fleet of Americana built locomotives was poised at the edge of the English Channel ready to steam across the Normandy beach, head on tracks that weren't there the day before. They hauled huge chunks of an enormous storehouse it took years to build in the British Isles. As in other campaigns, the engines followed slose behind the in- vad0rs, delivering men and ammu-
 
 milton as our armies advanced.
 In Italy, Tank railroaders learn ed how to overcome Nazi trickery. No matter what obstacles the enemy left in their wake, the MRS knew how to improvise to get their 2-8-0s running to the front in short order. Its veterans have learned how to build quick shoofly around a dem- olished piece of track, and how to adapt engines to narrow gauge roads. These gandy- dancers, car knockers and hostlers can get up steam on piece of road put together with chewing gum and chicken wire, if necessary.
 HIGH ROAD
 The 650-mile Trans-Iranian rail- road gave CT railroaderS some of their most difficult moments. Rising to heights of more than 7OO0 feet in the Elburz Mountains and spanning desert and mountain country where temperatures vary from 170 degrees Fahrenheit to 40 below, the track traverseS 235 tunnels and thousands of bridges.
 The Army's conventional 2-8-0s were not powerful enough to haul

Ovide Garceau, representative of the CIO, has written to the state arbitration and mediation board re- questing their services relative to a grievance presented by Local 25l to the management of the U. s. Time corporation.

A series of four radio addresses urging the reelection of Congress man Joseph E. Talbot (R) was brought to 8 close last night by Jack Henry, former secretary to the congressman.

much freight besides the huge quantities of coal and water needed to run the engines. So State De- partment and U. s. Army officials called on an American locomotive company to provide solution. Could the company, they wanted to know, send some Diesel-electric lo- comotives over to Iran in 8 hurry? Could they also change the Diesel axel arrangement so that. the Iran track could stand their 12O-ton weight?
 The company said they could do both, and sent 29 Diesels with six axles on each, instead of the con- ventional four. When the big 10O0- horsepower engines arrived at the Persian Gulf they were accompan- jed by newly formed shop battal- ion of 300 men to keep the fleet in running order.

If you're setting up housekeeping.
here's a little advice. Stay away
from Washington night clubs and
very especially stay away from their
Kitchens. Proprietors Of these estab-
lishments don't like you and you
can't blame them, after listening to
their sad tale of woe. How would
you like to 60 to your silver chest
and find five or six dozen pieces Of
the very best tableware missing?
"And this doesn't happen once in
a WHILE" one club owner told us. y
1T happens every day
1t wouldn't be SO bad If the res
taurants could replace the silver, but
they have as much trouble finding
tableware as you neWlyWedS.
And then We have the matter Of
balancing the budget" said one pro-
prietor, wringing his hands.

time you pay your check If some
