MajOrie FGrIey, Local Social Worker,
 Watched Germans Slipping Into Abuss
By BETTY RLANCHARD

Germany today, it's people seeking shelter in partially demolished buildings and thinking only of 0b- taining enough food for the next meal presents "a. pretty black pie ture". according to Miss Marjorie Farley, of Wildwood Avenue, who spent l4 months in war-scarred Ba- varia. The well-known local social worker was associated since July, l0z5, with the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation program at var ious centers in the Afnerican-occu- pied zone. including Absenberg, Schwaudorf and Pocking near the Austrian border. Miss Farley was in charge at Roclsing of the rehabiiita- ton of some $500 Gnen, women and children salvaged from the concen- tration and slave labor camps.
 Asked to describe Oermany's pres- ent plight. Miss Farley shook her head sadly and said: 'No matter how I should try to describe life in a country devastated by bombs. It would be difficult to visualize. Such great metropolis as munich. Nure- berg. and Kassel, great industrial centers, are merly . mass of ruins. As far as the eye can see every bulld- ng Is damaged. Some are complete heaps of rubble. others have been reduced to s wall twisted steel"

Posters Unusual
 Steele, who was wounded twice during his 45 months service, hold the Distinguished Flying Cross awarded for his outstanding service in the Battle of the Bulge, an Air Medal with 13 clusters, six battle stars. the Soldiers Medal, and he is scheduled to return to Westover Field shortly to receive the coveted Silver Star.
 The posters the pickets carried were unusual. Instead of decrying the company in front of whose premises they were carried, the posters in effect expressed praise.
 "ACEW Western Electric Employees Want Same Treatment As Tele- phone Company Employes," one of them read.
 Other Projects Affected
 The VEG workers are demanding wages that are comparable to those received by telephone company men who maintain equipment. The VEG strikers are all associated with installation service.
 Although the current dial equip ment installation work by the VEG at the Waterbury Exchange was scheduled to be completed in about three weeks, numerous other pro- jects were planned, and will be held up by the current strike. MT. Platt disclosed. Expe1sion of service to Naugatuck and othe- points in the area was next on the list.
 n Actually Working
 Mir. Pratt reported that IT men were actually working for the VEG in the Waterbury district, but that five of them were sent recently to Naugatuck, decreasing the local striking force to 12.
 A VEG supervisor was the only one of the local staff to remain on the job. He busted himself to- day with paper work and issuance of checks.

 Awarded

The Industrial Recreation Plno- chle committee headed by George Ryan, Chase Metal Works, met last night at the Central Y. M. c. A. and named February as the open ing date of the I. R. A. Tourna- ment. It was felt by the committee that an elimination tournament would be necessary but ruled that on the first night of play those losing in the first round would have an opportunity to play another match and would be eliminated the first night only if they lost the first two matches. This would give each team at least one full night of play. The tournament will be open only to regular I. R. A. members com plying with the eligibility rules and regulations of the association. It was agreed that four teams could be entered by each plant or divis- ion estimating that about one hum drede and sixty players would take PuAIs All EulCo anu EGSuldbAOklS were drawn up and will be for- warded to each player when entries are received. The first two rounds are planned to be held at the Wa terbury Women,s Club on the fourth and fifth of February with semi finals and finals played at the Gen. tral Y. M. c. A.
 The matter of a state champion ship was brought before the com- mittee and agreed those reaching the semi-finals of the Waterbury tournament would represent the city in the State tournament.
 Those present at the meeting last night were R. J. Charland, U. s. Time; Arthur Denker. Scovill Mfg; John Northrey, American Brass Metal Hose Branch, repre- senting F. Devereaux; Tom Dillon, Scovill Mfg; R. J. Baird, Bristol Company; John J. Carroll, Chase Company; Stephen c. Barone, Wa terbury Mfg; George Ryan, chair man, Chase Metal; Ed Readel, |. R. A. director.

were set up at Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport and Stamford. The local pickets had orders to continue their task until further instructions from the Association of Communication Equipment Work CTS leaders in New Haven, with which they arc affiliated.
 Both AfflliateS
 One union spokesman comment ed today that in declining to rec ognize the picket lines in Connecti- cut, the telephone company work CTS in effect were unwilling to rec ognize their own union. The pickets are members of the ASEW, and the telephone workers of the Connecti- cut Union of Telephone Workers (CUT), but both are affiliated with the National Federation of Telephone Workers.
 The NFTW, however, has no jur- isdiction over its member groups, it was disclosed by a telephone company spokesman.
 What effect the disruption of lcng- distance service will have on local industries and businesses could not be determine immediate ly. The local exchange employees attempted to put through only emergency calls, rejecting all others to New York City and other farther points.
 Most of the local pickets have been on the job here only 10 weeks. The ex-servicemen reported the VEG jobs were their first since ter- imitation of military duties.
 It was reported that about 75 per cent of all VEG workers in the country are veterans.
