A second Waterburian has writ ten to the Senate War Investigat- ing Committee concerning the use of defective Az inch chemical mor- tar shells during combat He is John P. Greblunas, 695 North Div- erside Street The name of the first man to write to the commit tee has not been released.
 Greblunas states that while at- tached to the Seventh Army's Chemical Warfare Service Supply Section as a clerk he handled "all reports and correspondence con- nected with defective shells" He wSote that reports of muzzle bursts and duds came back to headquarters as often as two or three times a week and, at one time, every day"
 Angry battalion commanders stormed the headquarters with stories of countless deaths and in- juries. The files of the Chemical Warfare Service, Seventh Army, should reveal lists running into many pages of bad lot numbers, he claimed
 Greblunas said that he can fur nish the names of Chemical War fare Officers who have information concerning the number of men killed and injured by defective shells.

Truman Moy 'HoItSeizure Of PI ants

Washington, Aug. 13 -(UP)- President Truman appeared ready today to abandon five-year-old Government policy of seizing pri- vate property to end strikes.
 This stand threatened to widen breach with Secretary of Labor Lewis B. Schwellenbach and was direct blow at the CIO. and it's president, Philip Murray.
 It left the problem of how to get the Government out of the soft coal mining industry which MT. Truman seized May p. The Gov ernment is operating the mes un- der a temporary agreement with President John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers (AFLD.
 MT. Truman himself indicated his decision to change the seizure policy, which has prevailed since President Roosevelt took over North American Aviation Company, Los Angeles, June g, 1941.
 In an unprecedented action, MT, Truman announced he had decided not to seize the nine struck plants of the J. I. Case and Allis-Chal- mers farm equipment companies. Heretofore he and MT. Roosevelt unwaveringly followed the formal seizure recommendations of their top-ranking labor advisers-either the Secretary of Labor or War La bor Board and there were 79 seizure cases in all.
 Schwellenbach had been on rec ord since June for Case and Allis- Chalmers seizure to end a six months old strike by 25,000 mem bers of CI.O. unions. He charged that neither company had made a sincere effort to settle the dispute.
 The CLOS top international executive board and Murray per- sonally appealed to MT. Truman a month ago to take over the two companies. C.IO. sources say that the chief executive never acknowl- edged receipt of the communica- tions.

 John T. Hartley city building in- spector has forwarded an urgent re- quest to the MIA. for additional housing materials to alleviate the current critical housing shortage. Hartley is chairman of sub-com- mittee of the Waterbury Emergency Housing Committee.
 Yesterday Mayor John s. Mona gan sent letters to state legislators, Cong. Joseph E. Talbot, and U. S. Senators Brien McMahon and Thomas Hart asking for a more equitable allocation of building ma terials to Connecticut. The mayor noted, on recent trip to Califor- mia, that considerable more build ing was being undertaken htere.
 Today Cong. Talbot at his home in Naugatuck said that he had not yet received the mayors letter and would await receipt before issuing any statement.
 T am not surprised, however" he added. New England has always been the last to receive such gov- ernment benefits"
 In his letter to the MIA. MT. Hartley stated that 500 local resi- dents are living in basements and unfit apartments.
 He also stated that total of l266 applications for rent had been received by two agencies in Wa terbury. Miss Nancy Delaney, ex- ecutive secretary of the Veterans Advisory Council, received $50 ap- plications while John Cianci, direc- tor of the Waterbury Housing Au- thority reports 416 on file in his of- flee.
 Aside from these applicants, MT. Hartley has requests. for permits to build SIS private homes on which construction can't be started be- cause of the lack of materials. Eighty-one cellar foundations and 25 cellars are also waiting for lack of materials.

HOLLYWOOD, August 13-The other day. Hollywood trade papers reported that Eleanor P ar k e T had f1atly refused to play leading role in Love and Learn," assigned her by Warner Brothers, and that the studio had, therefore, suspend ed her from it's payroll. Such news items leave me flabbergasted on two accounts
 In the first place, I'm amazed by the presumption of Miss Parker, who, despite a few critical words of praise for her work in the newly released film, Of Human Bondage is certainly not yet entitled to rate herself "big star" By that pro- cess of reasoning does this young ster, still in her early twenties and still a comparative novice in the picture business, arrive at the con- clusion that her judgment of role is better than that of men who have been making successful pic- lures for more years than she has lived? I'm amazed by her seeming belief that a contract, by which she willingly bound herself to carry out studio assignments, is something to be chucked overheard the minute
