 Squatted in the semi-circle were young and old. Several of the wom- en wore lowered kimonos. Others wore dark, flowing garments with hoods over their heads. One tooth- less grandfather sported dirty felt hat.
 The natives were interested as navy corpsmen applied dressings and bandages to the open cuts some of them had suffered. They nodded happily as the pandaging was com- pleted.
 Two more natives came across a titled field. One was a tiny mother almost carrying her l8 year old son who was bleeding from two flesh wounds in the side.
 She appeared heightened when corpSmen began dressing the wound and held tightly to his hand. When she was convinced that he was being aided, she almost smiled.
 The old priest turned to the of- ficers and bowed in thanks. He then bowed to each of the corpsmen. The natives around him all nodded in agreement.

teachers in other schools say that many of the present rooms have nor pupils than they can take care of.
 The building is "far too good to be relegated to the scrap heap" during the past year new houses have been erected on Madison street, 8 quarter of a mile from the school and children from this sec tion need the facility.
 The board last night voted to st a hearing for April 20 to consider 8 proposed change in the city's building code and the requested three changes in zoning ordinance. The code change was suggested by Building Inspector John T. Hart ley and forbids the construction of corniceS and similar type projec- tions from buildings over sidewalks. The move is designed to prevent snow and ice dropping of on pedes- trians.
 A committee was appointed fW the aldermen to study the zoning laws as the apply to the North and South Sides of Homer St. from Waterville to Cooke street.
 Other proposed changes h tho zoning ordinance were to allow a convalescent home at n Plaze avenue; another from Louis De- Fabritis, 16 Waterville street, t Q change that property from B to o Zone; and the third to permH the establishment of a political and social club for Negroes at Pearl and Hopkins street.
 A $1 900 check made by John A. Largay, as a deposit for bid for the Begnal School was ordered re- turned to him by the Board of A- dermen.
 It has been proposed to con- cert the Begnal School into . health center school for children physically unable to attend the reg ular schools.

A bid of $2,72O from the Water bury Wrecking Company for the purchase of the Mulcahy school building, was rejected by the board of aldermen last night on the basis of its being insufficient. The com- pany planned to demoliSh the struc- ture.
 Opposition to any proposed sale of the former school building was furnished last night by ten mem bers of the Washington Park Com munity club who appeared at the meeting and urged that the matter be reverted to the board of edu- cation for further consideration as to retaining the building for a school. The request was denied.
 Opposition had been shown by the same group for the past three weeks developing to the point of con- ference with Mayor Monagan by committee. The group opposes the proposed sale for the following rea- sons: A commercial company talk ing over would lessen the value of property in the area; some of the

Charging the C1O Political Action committee with being a centrallzed organization representing the opin- ion of its central authority only and not of the general public of workers as contended, Cong. Joseph E. Tal- bot (R.- -Naug0 speaking at tho forum meeting of the Diocesan Labor Institute here last night urged the return of labor to its former time-honored pledge to re- ward its friends and defeat its en- emies.
 In contrast Cong. Herman Kop- pelmann D-HartforO speaking on the same platform last night at the Elton sponsored the continuation of the P. A. c. and praised as dem ocratic" the P. A. C.'s interest 1n last November's national election whereby it concentrated on the ln- diviual vote.
 The forum was presided over by Rev. Joseph F. Donnelly, director of the institute.
 Talbot's Charges
 Summing up his principal argu- mentS against the existence Of the P. A. C., under its form, Cong. Tal- bot cited the following three req sons:
 1. The voice of the P. A. c. is not the combined voice of the masses; it is the camouf1aged voice of centralized control attempting to convince the nation at large that 1t is speaking the mind of the masses, when in reality it is the opinion of a few men.
 2. Neither major political party is opposed to labor unions or the welfare of the men and women who are the wage earners of America It is the height of absurdity to be- lieve that any large political party could exist on that basis for even one month in this country. Yet the P. A. c. has set itself up as the chosen friend of one party and the arch enemy of the other. If this policy is maintained and constantly reiterated, that other party even- tually may be convinced that it is the enemy of the labor unions. Then when that party comes to power. as it surely will, would it not be the reasonable belief of that party that the mandate of the peo- pie that elected it demanded an anti-labor union policy.
 3. Contrast the policy of the P. A. c. with the time honored policy of the American labor unions to back no political party, but rather to take legislators as individuals and to reward labor's friends and de- feat labor's enemies.
 Kopplemann's Defense
 Why discriminate against unions?" Congressman Kopplemann asked of the audience. All other forms of what we have come to know as pressure groups have their representation such as business, farming, consumers, etc. The pro- hibitive measures proposed against the existence of the P. A. c. would result in disfranchisement of great proportion of Americanism, namely Americans, he declared.
 Those who opposed organized la bor indulging in political action, MT. Kopplemann emphasized, would be the first to cry to high heaven-and rightly so - if it was proposed that they should be for bidden to speak or take political action in their own behalf"
 Organized labor has had to in- terest itself in political action to achieve legislation in regard to wages, hours, compensation and child labor, MT. Kopplemann ex- plained. And they must interest themselves in action in social fields as education, public health and taxation, he added.
 The representative from the first

Meanwhile, Bridgeport rent of- 1icials are bringing into line through a series of conferences, and enforcement action where necessary" those landlords who were found to have failed to register their rented dwelling units or to be charging in excess of the legal registered ceiling, the hent head said.
 Locally, it was learned from OPA Rent Director George J. McDutf periodical ''check-ups" have been in the Waterbury area and to-date no evidence has been found to disclose a general disregard of governmental regulations. Occasionally, it has been found necessary to enlighten a landlord or tenant on regula- tions, but on the whole, Director McDuff finds cooperation here sat- isfactory.
 On the basis of more than 5000 interviews with tenants in Bridge port, the OPA learned that 7.6 per cent of the dwelling units were not registered and of those that were registered, 7.2 per cent were rent ing for more than ceiling. s'These figures show that a very large majority of Connecticut landlords are complying with the rent control regulations" Sullivan said. But they also show that there's still lot of work to be done"
 Declaring that "after nearly three years of rent control pleasof ignorance oi the regulations is hardly acceptable from a violator," Sullivan asserted we will take vig- orous enforcement action hereafter in all cases where failure to regis ter can be proved wilful."
 He pointed to the accomplish ment of the enforcement program over the last 12 months when $64,- GOO have been collected in fines, out of court settlements and refunds" from landlords who deliberately sidestepped their responsibilities under these essential wartime regu- lations in order to make excessive profits at the expense of their community"
 The tentative agenda for the statewide survey of rents calls for early concentration of investigators in congested industrial areas, Suili- van said, with Hartford, New Ha- ven, New Britain and New London probably getting top priority"

DUMBARTON OAKS
 WEEK DESIGNATED

New York, April 3-(UP)-Pres- ident Roosevelt expressed hope today that the nation would ob- serve Dumbarton Oaks week, April 16 to 9, "by studying the Dum- barton Oaks proposals and by joining in prayers for the success of the United Nations conference and for the firm establishment of a world organization for permanent peace"
 In letter to Clark M. Eichel- berger, executive director OK the American Association for the Unit ed Nations (formerly the League of Nations Association) Mr. Roosevelt commended the plans of that or ganization and 50 others for the observance.
 They give proper emphasis to the fact that permanent peace must be based upon the thought and the prayers of the people themselves" the president wrote.
 The association said that the governors of Ohio, Massachusetts, wyoming, Washington and Ken lucky had issued proclamations calling for observance of the week in their states.

district stressed that the purpose of those who use labor unions as 8 scapegoat "is to make it easier for them and their candidates to be nominated and elected by ham, stringing democracy and paralyzing effect political action by a large part of the electorate"
 The principal debate evolving from last nights forum resolved itself into the principal of whether the PAC was healthy influence under its present system of operation. Congressman Talbot opposed its centralized form of authority while Congressman Kopplemann declared it to be representative of the labor ing groups.

 Okinawa, April 1-(UP)-The first Okinawa civilians to surrender came through the Marine lines in fam tastic procession that reminded you of an old oriental print.
 A withered old priest. hatless but wearing a gray robe and broad black sash, marched about IS paces ahead of the procession.
 His flock followed meekly behind and showed only faint curiosity as the guards took them to the rear for questioning.
 When Marine Capt. L. T. Burcham of San Diego assigned an interpreter to question them, the priest gave an almost imperceptible order and the whole group squatted on the floor. The old man eagerly accepted
