SIXTY POLICE
 HERE COVER
 FOR TRAIN

Sixty Waterbury regular and auxiliary police were called to duty this morning to form the protective guard system for President Frank lin D. Roosevelt'S special train, due through Water bury at 11:07 this morning.
 Deputy Superintendent Fred Hickey who was in. charge of the city's special guard assigned the members to the various strategic rail- road points, such as bridges, culverts, switches and the like, both on the route en- tering Waterbury and that leaving the city.
 There was the possibility at early press time this morning that the Presidents train would make brief stop here enabling the people of the ClLy GO VIEW 4A41AI OAA OAAC 4C04 P4oV- form. Barring the trains stopping it seemed likely that MT. Roosevelt would appear on the trains rear platform to wave to the crowds expected to gather, as the train pro- ceeded slowly forward.
 State Democratic headquarters has announced that the President will speak at Bridgeport and Hart ford and that Derby, Naugatuck and New Britain would be included on his itinerary It did not seem likely however that any lengthy stop would be made at the latter three towns.
 Mayor John s. Monagan and oth- CT city officials planned to be at the station in the event the train should stop here.

re-affirmation Of the no-strike
pledge until the war has finally
been won, both in the West and
the East"
Earlier the convention unani-
mously endorsed President Roose-
welt for reelection and Sen. Tru-
man for Vice President, and called
upon "all the nations shipyard
workers to work increasingly 1or
their election"
Some opposition was expressed
from the floor on a resolution sup
porting the Natl. War Labor Board
as an agency but criticizing its pol
icies, but after prolonged debate,
the resolution was passed.
1t urged complete support of the
NWLB as an agency which must
be continued TO resolve in a peace
full manner the industrial disn1tes
that arise between management and
labor" and condemned the Inter
minable delays in the disposition of
cases."
The resolution also endorsed the
position of the CIO executive board
and requested the CIO president to
appoint committee Of five TO pre-
sent a statement of abuses heaped
upon labor through the boards pol
icies. In addition, officers of the
shipyard union were authorized to
appoint a committee to take up
their grievances with the board.
RED BATTING OPPOSED
Following speech by FAC
Chairman Sidney Hillman, in which
he told of being made the target Of
every possible kind of red-baiting,
the convention passed resolution
condemning those "reactionary
forces in this country whose can
didate Is Thomas E. Dewey and who
are now resorting to Hitlerite tao
tics Of red batting in attacking the
CIO and our Political Action Com
mittee."
In their efforts to beat Roosevelt,
these forces, stated the resolution,
"have adopted red-baiting as their
major weapon of confusing the
American people and disrupting our
national unity"
The convention later approved q
resolution to have the unions gen.
eral executive board review the
case of Irving Velson, Brooklyn
Local 13, who was removed from
the board on the charge of being n
Communist, under a clause in the
constitution barring Communists
from holding Office. Velson denied
| the charge.

Independent
Oil Men Fear
Pending Pact

The independent oil producers of
the nation are united in their OPP
position to the petroleum agree
ment signed by the governments of
the United States and the United
Kingdom and which has been sent
to the senate for ratification as a
treaty.
This fact was brought out during
a series of district meetings Of
IPAA held at San Antonio, Corpus
Christi, Houston, Longview, Tyler,
and Shreveport. Attending these
meetings and speaking briefly in
protest of the petroleum agreement
and discussing with IPAA members
various problems confronting the
independent operator were Ralph
T. Zook, IPAA president, and Rus
sell B. Brown, IPAA general coun-
sci.
The unity of action against the
proposed treaty was established
when Independent oil producers at
each meeting approved the resolu-
ton adopted by the IPAA board
OF directors at their annual meeting
in Dallas, calling for the senate not
to give its advice and consent to the
ratification of the Anglo-American
oil pact.
In his discussion with the Texas
and Louisiana independent pro-
ducers, Zook declared that the rati-
fication of the oil agreement as a
treaty will be another step toward
undermining our constitutional
government and is path to federal
control over the oil industry. He
said such notifications will disrupt
the very essentials of a sound ma
tional oil policy.

Test Finds
Big Section
Saturated

Believed to be the greatest sat
uration ever found in the Rocky
Mountain area is 678 feet, cored by
the California Co. in its deep test
in the Rangely field in Colorado.
Some believe the discovery
proves up about 1900 acres of land
for deep production and the field
eventually may be 20 miles long
and 8 miles wide.
The well is known as Emerald
No. and is located in the NE of
the SW of sec 30. Saturation was
encountered from 5657 to 1886 feet
in the Weber sandstone, which cor
responds to the Tensleep sand at
Elk Basin.
About Is wells in the Rangely
field are now producing oil from
the Mancos shale at from 800 TO
100 feet. Production of the field
last year was about 100000 barrels
The initial discovery of oil in the
field was made in 1902.

STOCKS OF CRUDE
CONTINUE DECLINES

Stocks of domestic and foreign
crude petroleum at the close of the
week ended Nov. 4 totaled 222,894,-
600 barrels, according to data re-
ported to the bureau of mines, Unit
ed States department of the interior.
Compared with the total of 223,-

crease of $4,000 barrels in stocks
of domestic crude and a decrease
of 100000 barrels in stocks of for
eign crude.
