 TO OPEN CASE
ScOviIl Company to Get Formal Hearing on Walk.
 out Incident

Reconsideration of Q recent hear. ing of the New England Regional War Labor Board relative to the is. sued between the Scovill Mfg. Co.,, and the c. I. O. 269 has been or- dered by the board for next Thurs day, in Boston.
 The first hearing by the board, at which time. because of previous commitments. no representative of the company was present, resulted in a directive favoring the union and the 60 odd tube mill employees it represented. These employees had participated in an unauthorized strike and were refused reemploy- ment by the company. The union charged q '1ock.out' while the com. pany claimed that the employees had ln effect" violsted contract and quit their johs".
 The first directive handed down ny the regional WLB board ordered the company to reinstate the men With full privileges. The company then appealed which resulted in the reconsideration meeting scheduled TOT next week. It Is believed that one Of the principal reasons for the reconsideration is due to the ab. sence 0l 6 company representative at the first hearing. which, sources stated, would result in the presence ot 2 "tsehnieslity".

|IMDIMDO'S ZONE | PLEA OPPOSED
Dry Cleaning Plant At Old Gaffney School VigOr.
 OusIy Protested

Opponents to a gone change for that area in the locale of the for- mer GaRney school last night presented vigorous opposition to any such proposal as had been re- quested by Frank Imbimbo, repre- sentative of Q dry cleaning estab- lishment which plans to set up busi- ness in the old school.
 Opponents to the proposed change. from a residential to an industrial zone, cited the fact that they had bought tracts of land in that area in the past. because of its privacy and the absence of industrial plants. This latter group was represented by Atty. Carmine Cipriano who ap- peared before the special aldermanic committee last night.
 Mir. 1mbimbo's interests were represented by Atty. Perry Gracer- stein, who argued that his client had purchased the Gaffney property with the understanding that the zone change would be effected. MT. Gracerstein stid his clients had now spent several thousands dollars renovating the place.
 The zone in question is said to be already half residential and half industrial.
 The committee presiding last night was comprised of aldermen, william Gerard, Martin Tehan, Edward Lasky. and James Aber- crombie.

GOVERNOR URGES
 GREATER EFFORT
His ExceIlency Besides Waterbury To Be Taken
 From Critical List"

An increasing labor shortage in Waterbury may result in the city's Q NO. 3" critical area designation, exception from reclassification into according to William T. Jebb, chair man of the Waterbury Victory Man. power committee. who attended the Hartford meeting last night. Ac. cording to the committee chairman, the labor shortage has been aIlevi. ated in the other four critical" cities in the state. but has shown an upward trend in Waterbury.
 The Waterbury committe has been asked by Gov. Baldwin to make a concerted effort to remove the area from the critical list. To aid in the presentation of the Army Air Force exhibit of captured enemy air. craft to be featured here August TO-, the governor will participate in the program.

 Saipan, Marianas Islands-(De- layedl Many of the Marines who fought on Saipan are like 2l-year- old Private First Glass James R. simpson, of 22 Wheeler street. Wa terbury, Conn. That is one big req son why the island was conquered. For Jim Simpson fought a week with pieces of shrapnel in his leg, and side, before a mortar shrapnel wound in the shoulder put him out of the battle. He was a machine gunner with a unit which suffered heavy casualties as it spearheaded the Marine advance up Mt. Tap- otchau.
 The Connecticut Marines unit left ship on D-Day-June l5-and landed on the beach in the early afternoon.
 we went across to the air strip at Charan-Kanoa and bivouacked in some pines," Simpson said. This was our first shelter. There were no casualties in my platoon up to that point. It was by that time about 5:30 p. m"
 The unit pushed to Charan- Kanoa, cleaned out snipers there. and then moved upland. Coming into range of Japanese artillery in the foothills of Mt. Tapotchau, the platoon began to catch mortar fire.
 We lost four wounded, who were evacuated to ships by hospital corpsmen." the Marine continued. +Then we pushed on up the moun- tain. That's when we caught hell. My birthday was coming June 2l and wondered if I would live to see it. We lost some men that night, and I caught & piece of shrapnel in my leg and side"
 'They took me down to first aid and kept me there all day. The next day went down to the lines again. It's kind of vague to me now, but we kept on fighting and going forward"
 :. The unit of which Private First Glass Simpsons platoon was a part pushed to the edge of a swamp and took ridge overlooking flat ground. Another Marine unit flushed the defending Japanese out of the cane

American Forces in Normandy herded the remnants of seven Ger man divisions towards the highway bottleneck of Coutances near the West Coast today, while on the eastern front the rout of the Ger mans from the Baltic to the Car- pathians grew with the fall of Brest Litovsk. admitted by the Nazi high command.
 The Americans extended their Normandy break-through to a depth of IS miles between St. Lo and Coutances and were a little more than two miles from the latter out- flanked stronghold.
 The Germans were in general re- treat in most sectors of the 40-mile American half of the front. The seven divisions of the 84th German army corps, about half of the Nazis facing the Americans, were in al- most panicky withdrawal from the Periers-Lessay area above Cout-

fields, driving them into the path of fire of young Simpsons outfit.
 We got quite Q few Nips there. We just moved them down. My leg was hurting. We dropped back a way, then pushed back up to the hills, to relieve another outiit. We reached the foot of the big hill. The Japs must have had observers on us all the time we advanced, for at l:30 a. m. they began lobbing mortar shells Into us.
 There were four of us in a fox- hole. The first shell was so close we could have written our names on 1t. It just knocked us out of the foxhole. We ran to the side of a hill, but another mortar shell landed there. A corpsman got to me as quickly as he could. The mortar shell had hit me, in the shoulder. I stayed all night on the front lines. at the first aid station. Then in the morning. they brought me down to Charan-Kanoa in a little ambulance"
 AS he lies on his cot in a field hospital well behind the battle lines, Jim Simpson says he thinks of many things. Of his parents, of his brother. William, in high school in Waterbury, of his Marine outfit, and how proud he is to be one of it.. Most of the men fought on Guadal- canal and Tarawa, although Saipan was Jim's first campaign.
 He thinks of two Japanese he killed during the To-day battle.
 T got one on the night of the goth, as he ran across a clearing. l got him with carbine. That af. ternoon. several of us fired at an- other one as he ran for cover, and I think 1t was my carbine that got him."
 He keeps remembering two pals killed in a foxhole few yards from him. A shell landed between his foxhole and theirs, and the frag- nlents hit them but failed to injure him.
 He remembers the colonel of his outfit who was killed. and the new colonel leading his men with . light machine gun in his hands. He re- members his own lieutenant, killed in the advance up Mt. Tapotehau. He remembers the platoon corps man. wounded himself on the see. ond night. but trying to 90 on nx- ing Up the wounded Marines.
 Jim had six months of high school to finish in Waterbury. when he quit school and went to work on . rivettng machine at Blake and Johnson's in Waterbury. Now. when ne thinks about after the war, he believes he'd like to finish school.
