URGENT APPEAL
 FOR VOLUNTEERS
Scores Needed to Help Sorting, Packing Clothes
 in Local Drive

An urgent appeal for volunteers to help in sorting and packing the hundreds of pounds of clothing pouring into the state armory on Field street was made today by of- ficials of the city's clothing collec- tion campaign.
 Actually, the contributions are getting out of hand as to the sort ing and packing" one official de- clared. We need volunteers, men and women alike who can come down to the armory day or night and lend a hand.
 Three rooms of clothing are piled high at the armory today and lack of space is so acute the one truck load of clothes could not be de- posted this morning on the arm. ory's loading platform.
 Up to now a schedule for volun. teers has ben maintained but this was tossed to the wind" today and volunteers are urged to present themselves at anytime of the day. The appeal vii lbe renewed at to- days meeting of the war council committee.
 The city's collection efforts off, cially close on Sunday but 1t is anti cipated that efforts will continue be- yond that day as Waterbury's lags behind it's quota of one-half million pounds.

by the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs Henry Corden and other property owners of Wales street. on the other hand sought permission to amend their complaint and file a bond.
 Both motions were the result of a State Supreme Court decision, in which it was ruled the plaintiffs did not file a sufficient bond and that the plea of abatement of the de- fendants should have been sustain ed by the trial court. Reference was made, however, in the high courts decision last month of the possibility the plaintiffs may be able to correct the defect on the bond.
 Attorneys John H. Cassidy and A. A. Ribicoff. counsel for the Hart ford concern, contended that the high court by it's decision intended to end the entire issue in the case. They stated that although error was found on the pleadings, the high court also decided the main issue in the case when it ruled the property involved constituted a lot" and not corner lot"
 Attorney William K. Lawlor claimed the plaintiffs have a right to amend their complaint and file a proper bond, preparatory to a new trial. He contended the high court by it's decision never intended to set aside the decision of the trial court except on that one question of bond"
 Judge Cornell, who in June, 1922, found the issues for the plaintiffs, today placed questions regarding the decision of the high court. If the plea in abatement should have been sustained then there are no merits" he commented in answer to statements by counsel for the de- fendants that the high court ruled on the merits. Why should they decide the matter that never came before them," he continued.
 The decision on the plea of abate- ment, originally was given by Judge Carl Foster, now state referee. The final decision in the trial was handed down by Judge Cornell.
 Numerous citations were submit ted today to the jurist by counsel in the case.

 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 ON sgRvlcEMEN'S PROBLEMS
By DOUGLASS LARSON
 NEA Staff COrreSuOndent

Washington, April l3.-The Fed eral government continues to be the largest single employer of return ing veterans. Here are some typi- cal questions regarding veterans preference for Federal jobs:
 Q. Does . former Federal em. ploye who resigned and went into the army have the same re- employment rights as one who was placed on a furl0ugh status when he vas drafted?
 A. Yes. There is no difference between the reemployment rights of . former Federal employe whose appointment was termi- mated when he went into service and those of an employe who was placed on furlough status. The determining factor is whether the veteran left to enter the armed forces immediately. If he held an- other job between the time of in- auction and quitting the govern ment he would have reemployment rights in that job but not with the Government.
 Q. Does the members of family" rule which provides that not more than two members of a family Iiv- Ing under one roof may hold jobs in the Federal civil service apply to persons with veteran preference?
 A. No.
 Q. ! am 3 veteran. submitted my claim for preference (incIuding the supporting papers, with the giyiI Service Commission when I enpIied for an examination. There easnt been time enough for the proof of my claim to be returned and I want to apply for another Examination. Must I submit another claim with the new appIicat ation which I am about to file?
 A. No. Just fill out the new Preference Form IA and attach 1t fo your application. stating you have already submitted proof of your &laim for preference. Be sure to etate the exact date. place and title sf the examination in connection with which you originally submitted proof.
