Especial tO The Democrat)

Hartford, Dec. 7-President Ed- ward J. Lavery today warned dele gates attending the opening session ff the ninth annual Connecticut c. I. o. convention that Io47 will be a critical year for organized la- Dor.
 Every c. I. O. organization, in- cluding the State Council, will be put to the test in 1e47." he de- clared. ''Reactionary politicians and reactionary clements in indus- try and business have planned 1t that way. These people have de- signs that are just the reverse of ours. We intend during the com ing year to raise the standard of living of American workers, to in- crease their security and to provide them with a better all-round life. Our enemies, however. have defin- ite intentions to deprive them of what security they have been able to gain during the last few years, and to make life a generally dark and discouraging proposition for the average American citizen"
 A large Waterbury delegation was on hand for the start of tl1s convention. being held at the Hotsl Bond.
 Several Speeches Scheduled
 Among reports due later today are those Of Secretary-TreasureE John J. DriscolI and Publicity Da- rector Harold Senior.
 Several speakers will address the convention. among them Rep Chase Going Woodhouse. President Wall ter Reuther of the United Automo- bile Workers. Allan s. Haywood, di- rector of organization for the c. I. O, and Mrs. Margaret Connors Driscoll. Mir. Reuther's address will be feature of tomorrow's program.
 Mir. Lavery, in his report and opening statement to the conven- ton. said that some employers are sympathetic to labor's aims. TO these men of good will in indus try" he said. We make the sug- gestion that they try to spread their attitude among more of their busi- ness associates.
 CLOS stand Explained
 ThAmerican public. he said, will understand that this anti-laboE drive threatends not the standards of only a part of our society but the standards of all society"
 The Connecticut c. I. O. will em- ploy good will and cooperation and will employ peaceful" methods, Mir. Lavery asserted.
 we will not make the occasions for economic struggle. But should they be forced upon us to block out progress toward objectives which are reasonable and right. we will, in the name of the people. accept the challenge"

Strike Mokes
 City Life Dull

South Bend. Ind. Dec. T-(UPl- The coal strike made life pretty dull in the twin cities of South Bend and Mishawaka today.
 You couldn't see a movie. buy a drink. go dancing, or even get . book out of the public library.
 With an eisht-day coal supply dwindIing fast. Mayors '. Kennsth Dempsey of South Bend and Joe Brady of AElshawaka declared a state of emergency yesterday. Re- tail coal supplies were frozen and all public gatherings were banned at midnight for the duration of the strike.
 The emergency orders closed all bars. liquor stores. dance halls, gymnnsSuuns. public halls and en- tsrkainmenk oeu.eEs.

noon for its regular Saturday con- ference. An immediate decision on the Government request might be announced today, although 1t ape peared more likely that the ruling would be disclosed Monday.
 Moving to hy-pass the court of appeals, Attorney General Tom c. Clark asked the high court yester- day to take the contempt case. The Government wanted speed because drastic coal-saving controls were forcing deep industrial cutbacks and President Truman vas deter mined to carry on the court fight against Lewis.
 Bonds Posted Yesterday
 Lewis was fined siO,OOO in Federal District Court Wednesday and the UNIV. $S,500.000 for refusing to call of the strike. Bond in these amounts was posted yesterday pending appeal.
 The Administration was using no weapons other than the court fight in it's efforts to break the l7-day- old strike of Lewis 40O,0O0 United Mine Workers (A.FL.) in the Gov ernment-operated soft coal mines.
 But almost daily 1t was adding to the list of controls intended to stretch the coal supply in case of a prolonged strike.
 The dimout of non-essential lighting and power use, already in effect in 2l states, will be extended Monday to all areas dependent on coal-consuming utilities. The Civil. ian Production Administration last night also ordered deliveries of bituminous coke restricted to es- sential consumers.
 Crisis To Be Stressed im Appeal
 Some 650,00O workers were idle as a result of the strike and the figure was expected to spurt past 1000. 900 by Monday. The embargo yesterday on non-essential freight had swift and widespread effects on industrial employment.
 The economic crisis created by the strike is expected to figure largely in President Truman's radio address tomorrow night along with a back-to-work appeal to the miners.
 Clark cited a rule permitting the

Byrnes FovoFs Cutting Palestine

New York, Dec. 7-UP)-Secre- tary Of State James P. Byrnes vir- tually threw this country's political and economic weight today behind Jewish demands for partition of Palestine into separate Arab and Jewish states.
 Ending months of silence as to American policy on the Palestine issue. Byrnes called upon Britain to meet with Jewish and Arab leaders to discuss the partition plan ''in free and full conference i"
 He made clear that such a meet ing would have this country's blessing and that a U. S. observer would attend.
 The American position was claFa- fled as President Truman sched- uled a meeting tomorrow with Beyin In. Washington to conyass the entire Palestine issue. and as rumors spread through Palestine that Britain may place the area under martial law to halt spread ing attacks by Jewish under ground forces.

of the battleships Oklahoma and Arizona as grim reminders of Japa- nese treachery, observed the anni- versary as another work day.
 At nearby Hickam Field, the tat- tered American flag which flew that fateful morning and was slashed by Japanese bombs was raised by the Army Air Forces at 7:55 A. M, the moment the Japanese first struck the field. Concrete buildings on the field are still pockmarked from bul- lets fired by Japanese strafing planes.
 The moment of the attack five years ago was written into history by officer of the day It. Charles E. Dunn. whose report methodically stated:
 $40 A. M. supervised raising of the nag.
 "6:OO A. M.. checked fioodlights.
 "Following items are reported: Japanese pursuit and. bombardment aviation attacked this field at ap- proximately 7:55 A. M"
 Speaking at the flag raising to- day. It. Gen. John E. Hull, com manding general of the armed forces of the midPacific. declared Dec. ., l94l should be remembered ~as a day of warning as well as a day of pride"
 Its my fervent hope that the initial costly losses will serve ale ways, as a reminder to our people that they must remain physically and mentally alert" he said.
 The flag flew until 10 4. N. five years ago and then was lowered It is now an air forces relic which was raised briefly by Gen. George c. Kenny at Irumagawa Airfielc near Tokyo shortly after Vel Day It was brought here for the cere- mony today by special courier from Washington, D. c.
