committee of the Manchester .De­fense Council has be®fi handling a publicity campaign in the news­paper designed to educqte and In­terest Manchester Women in Man­chester’s war Industries, the arti­cle they manufacture and the need .for women to replace men who have bqen and are being drkwn into the armed forces of the'coun­try. An intensive effort has been made to get the facts across and create the desired interest to work among women who heretofore have, never worited in industry.

Recently,. Qieney Brothers an­nounced .that they were in need of a large number of women to do a piece of war w;ork in a> hurry. This waa likewise 'publicized in the paper and the. letter herewith gives proof that Manchester wom­en are patriotic—are turning^ to the tasks before them and are meeting the demands of war pro­duction:

I wish to report to you an incident that has recently occur- re j in Cheney Brothers’ Mills which we feel is largely the result of the work of this committee.

“We were requested by tpe Air Corps to do an emergency rush Job which, required- some hew equip­ment and some ngw facilities for doing the work. 'Our Auxiliary Division did a remarkable piece of W'ork in getting the equTpment set up and ready to operate In a very

We still need to take on somp more employees, but wi.shed to advise you of the results obtained up to date.

"The women who have come to work have practically all done s6 in the spirit that the Air Corps needed their services, We wi.sh to pay tribute to this Roe. spirit on their part and at the same time Compliment the committee on the educational program- they have carried on-in the Town of Man­chester regarding women in indus­try-

Sincerely yours.H. R, Mallory,

Mr. -Mallory said that officiala in the Employment department at Cheney Brothers reported that there are still many openings throughout the mills and at Pion­eer Parachute Co., for women workers. Practically as many jobs are open, ai there are wometi who wish to apply fop work. Eht- perience Is not necessary. The im­portant thing is to be able to work and be willing to learn.

(The British radio, in a French language broadcast recorded by the Federal Commimlcationa com- ndaeion, aa<d the Eighth Army had opened a new attack north of Tak- rouna, five miles northwest of EiP fldavine on the east coast, with Gmu Sir Bernard L,. Montgomery stgnaljUig the offensive aa usual by a violent artillery barrage.)

By following rapidly behind the enemy rather than waiting to wipe out these neats, the Americans probably avoided much hard fight­ing in the rugged mountains .while the Germans consolidated their next positions, the apok esman pointed out., The French and the Americans- in the extreme north pressed on for four miles and attained a point on the northwest corner' of Lake Achkel.

American column.s farther south seized Green and Bald hilla bar­ring the road m the Jefna area and pour^ through to a- road junction 'six miles northwest of Mateur without opposition.

'

Its usee and value to the town in the future can be as great and as many as the town’s own devel­opment dictates. But If it ’ is lost, lt„ with its IdeiU (situation and ^ear possibilities for town "devel­opment, can never be replaced. It is conceivable that the town should consider its opportunity and, after such consideration, de­cide against it. It is to be hoped that it will tansider the oppor­tunity, and tad it worth' taking.But it la inconceivable that, through'clidal lethargy or pub­lic indifference, the town should let the opportunity, pass and .'slip

'^away without "ever giving it" defi­nite, consideration.

srry Mackenzie, during his iey-tiay,' was a symbol of a cer­tain coiic of . political practice. That code was the c^d# of the iin- ilcrupulous. the shlftj? fixety a code which preferred to do nothing in the open, if it could bp^one In the

they^erk. a code whtcl/Delicved that all, men had thei/ price and that all'ftct.s and services likewise hacl their price. And, as prime ex­ponent Of . this obde, Harry Mac­kenzie wascompletely a symbol and little enough of man or hu­man being. It was typical of hli role "that he smoothly suppressed hlfnself and whatever'*lijlnd of per­son he might have heeh in favor of the game he was playing. Of all the people who knew him, there . were perhaps a few. soul­mates who loved him. But th* great majority. Of those who k'rtew hitri merely feared him.

The only way In which the present Issue In the General .\s- sembly, now up for Its sevejith or eighth or ninth vote, we, have lost exact courtt,''i» really refers to Mackenzie the Individ­ual Is in the fact that these s-a- riona votes jrireedy taken have given- omlnoue evtdeno# that many people In Connecticut po­litical Ufe still fear him, fear him so much that he can reach up from his owu disgrace and

' snap them into line Just as hp used to belsre he made the only mistake of his code, which waa the ntistake -of being taught.As we wrote in our first discus­

sion of the Mackenzie issue, early in the session, there is no over- wkelmlng argument against the restoration of forfeited rights to Harry Mackenzie the Individual, no reason why he should be treat­ed any differently than any other criminal. . ' -

But there was, and Is, and will always be, every, argument against the return to Hartford of the Mackenzie code of politjee.

And that, not Mackenzie , him­self, has become the real isaue at Hartford, It waa made an iasue vvh n at was ydlacloeed, as an. ar­gument for [favorable treatment of him, that h* b*d already done his political Wt Ip the 1942 cam­paign in Falsfleld "County.

tr^ and as far back I*, the choice of legislative com- mirieea, smoothing the way for this same restoration o f rights.

It became apparent whta. lt waa demonstratta that tkata. was. In the House and In the lobbies of this General Asaam- bly, an unscrupulous, shifty,

' mackenziesque a l^*® * l®*"chine legislators - and iiiachlne bossta determined to gain thla particular end, no matter what

came obvious that, by th.elr dlo- harjJi ,|niin-party, Meokens^e-®®*te tactics, the elements backing this Teglslation were /placing * thou­sand times more Importance up­on the restoration of forfeited rights to ^tary Mackenzie than would evey jfte given any other .similar metaure.. When this new group g/ Mhckeiftle hacks wanted this measure so badly It is small wofider toat the rest of the stats began to fear that the action in­volved was something much more thah. just a restoration of. voting right*, to fear that what waa real­ly In process was a vots of confi­dence in "Mackenzie apd in his political cpde.

First Aid best serves Its pur­pose in simple fracturss. Com­pound fractures require more eiaborate care. SlmplF fractures mean broken bones without per-; (oration of the akin. When the akin is intact., the dapger of in-" fectlon is eliminated, and 'this, fact greatly simplifies the\ prob­lem of treatment.

“ Useless” Theory Wrong There are no symptoms com­

mon to all fractures. Many frac­tures do not immediately cause a loss of function of the broken part.. The erroneous belief that a Xraeture prevents the use of a part has often resulted In delayed care and impaired healing. Occa- sioriaUy there Is little* pain or swelling. .Typically, the pain is considerable at the site of the break, and even gentle pressure sharply aggravates It. Swelling develops rapidly, and a.s blood is .released from the point of frac­ture, discoloration beneath the skih. becomes .evident,

Wiita the fracture breaks the bone in two part*, a deformity a* comparta with the aimliar atruf- ture on the opposite ride of the body may be observed. Occasion ally tha patient has htard

Afternoon and evening sessions for making Red Cross surgical dressings were held as usual last week on Monday and Thursday. By error. In. thla column’ a few days ago Friday was given aa one of tha daya for working.

Thursday evening Mrs. Vorus Nickerson of Amston; treasurer, gave her -report of Red Cross- f i ­nances for- the month. .This show­ed that the sum of 81,045 was for­warded to headquariteth from the Hebron branch as the result of the Red Cross War Fund drive; |10.25 was added tO;the sum already in tha Wlndpam National Bank. Ex­penses Incurred during the month amounted to 8148.14. Thar* la a balance in the treasury of 8354.34. This seems like a very good show­ing for a to'wn the rise of Hebron, and the workers are to be epn- gratulated.

Workers at Hebron‘Center have made 4,168 surgical dnnbiga be­tween March 11 and'April 8E The group at Amston have made 5,050 dressings between February 9 and April :29.. The repjort for Gilead workers was not gltan as they are only beglnhlng to get to work on the dressings, since It'has been im­possible for them to heat A work-! roqm until lately. ' I

It was at first unden^ood tha 10,300 dressings was the quota for IK * whole fotat:.of Hebron, bnt-tt has now been stated that there will ba 10,000 for each group, He- brota Amaton and Gilead, with 300 extrri for Hebron. This aleema a large order, but workers are en- thusiasUcally carrying on, and as each grouji can completjs towpr**® 700 or 1,000 dressings In a day. It looks as If "Ihs goal could be reached.

Charles Johnston of Amston has been appolntad acting eorpof*l,^ take command of traneportatlon of about 40 men from Tolland and Windham Counties who leave Thursday of. this week for Fort Devens for their tralhlng in U.

By Lillian A. Kittle \ large audience attended "the

annuejj concert at- the Beethoyi ..Glee l^ub under the direcUon oi Fred E. "Werner last, evening at Emanuel'T^theran. church. Theolub had close to 30 members at the beginning of the iMason, but due to enlistm'enU in the anned foroea it has dropped to 16. This of course, waa a g^a t handicap in presenting its usual conceit! . The members.. toe director and the ac- com{tanist, Eleanor Bennett, should be "givmi credit for th^ work ac compllshed to make tbi(# yearly ffcte possible, under preva" dltiohf.

The program opened w cial concert arrangement National Anthem by Geoffrey O'Hara and sung Iw the Glee Club;'

Following tola,/'the club sang Praise Ye the Lord" by Tchaikov­sky and “Alleluia” from the Bach Cantata "Fof Us a Child is Borii.’’The enunciation was particularly good In both numbers.

known soprano, then sang a group of three tong* In which she die- played her usual fine quality of ton* and easy manner of sing­ing.

A splendid rendition of ‘T Heard a Forest Praying” by Peter De- Rose opened the second group of numbers by the Chorus. The sdft opening, portraying a drtamer’a vision of a forest and the contrast- tag forttarimo which tallowed mad* this number affective and one of the best of the evening. The en­suing numbers, "1 Love Life" by Mana-Zucca and the ever-popular ‘Onward Ye Peoples" by Slbellua did not quite come up to the first number o f the group in finis pos­sibly, due to the size of toe group as comparod with th* heaviness of the: selections.

Poltasena’’, from "Radamisto" she appeared "to be a trifle nervoiui. but this was fdrgotten. because of the ease With which aha piang the other two numbers "Unden Lea” by Barnes-Williams and i‘"fHe Three Cavaliers’’ by Schindler.

The Glee Club then' pleased the audience with three lighter selee lions. The first, "BrothsM, Sing On” by E. Grieg was sung A Capells followed" by a novelty number ”Ma U ttl* Banjo” and ended with "Rata''and the. River”

* by Fox in which they showed especially good bslanc* of parts.

Splendidly Delivered '' The duets sung by the soloists.

Mrs. Gustafson and Miss Berggren were the highlight of of toe-pro­gram. In the first entitled ‘The Gipsies” by Brahms they showed ’wonderful precision particularly in the mote ^ Ic u lt technical pas- Sagae and the second number, "Naeraat and Deareat” by L.

Thebdore Dotiay, head of a Gof- man-American importing bouse here, was brought from the Fed­eral correctional . Institution at Milan, Mich., to stand trial in Federal court oh a charge, of mta prislon of traaaon.

The government -charges that Donay had knowledgt that Sta phan committed treasonable acta in giving aid to Lteu^ Hans Peter Krug, escaped prisoner, of war, and violated the law in not reporting bis information to authorities.

Donay has been In custody ta de­fault of 850,000 bond. It waa In that ntonth that Stephan aldisd Krug and brought him, the gov ^ m e n t charge*, to Donay’a ea tablishment as well a* other piece*.

Knox Mid that during April there, was an Increased number of Allied attacks, on enemy sub­marines but he added that It Was impossible to tell just how success­ful they were.

There was "no significant in­crease In April ovier March in the number of enemy submarines in operatien,” Knox said, "and the number of attacks by our forces was due to the increase in escort vessels ahd In air coverage."^ ..Destroj-ab Escort Sattsfactor.v . The secretory'described the new

Tempore Flare Anetn As Shotedoum Nears ^

Washington, May 4.—(J')—Tern- pen flared anew today as the Houaa neared a showdown vote on

ty-aa-you-fo taxation, and the subsided only after Speaker

(D-Tex) ruled' that one member la calling another a ’demagogue” had -violated House

rulqs^Be chamber turned to a debate ’demagoguery" after Reprheen-:

'tative Patman <D., Tex.) had shouted that adoption' at the Ruml plan to skip an entire income tax year might result in imposition of a Federal retail sates tax. and bring dangers ed“ ninaway ip^ tloa and printing press money.”: ..

.Challenges StateiBBat > Rapraaentative Knutson (R.,

Minn.), loading tha Republisan fight for the Ruml plan, ohal- lengad Patman’a statemant, and. when the Texan asked Knutson to yield the floor briefly, the Minne­sotan responded: \ ,

*T da not yield to ■ any more demagogues,”

I ’atman ImmediatHy challenged .the statement, and a ''dictionary waa brought' into tha .chamber by Repreaentative -Dttter (R , Pa.) who road from tha definition that a demagOgpe "la a leader, orator, popular wttb or identified with the pe^le.” Repreiwntative Rankin (D., Mlaa.) InSlstad that Ditter did not read all the definition—‘-'the lower bracket deflnl'tlon.” .

Thereupon Ditter argued that H could net be proved that Knutson referred to Patman offensively.

Contrary to Rulea Finally, Rayburn after looking

into previous ruUnga by the chair, aald that Knutson’s statement “did not avoid peraonaUties” and thereforo was contrary to House rules. Knutson then received unan­imous consent that his remark be strieken from the reeerd, and the Rouae, after 15 nhttitaa’ delay, re­sumed its tax debate.

'The chamber eocpected to dispose 'of the slaidlng iaaua today, and it was stIB anybodyls gnsss as to whst tfbuld ha produced and bow the pocketbooks of 44,000,000 income taxpayers would be ef­fected.I It

together to break Jeffers told the Senate Truman committee:

“W " are both struggling to win this wsr and have no other or per­sonal motlvea.”

Asaertlng that teatimony heagl during the cdmmittee'a Inveatiga- tion of Patterson’s ehargea that prefertneCi granted rubber had Serioualy interfered with 100- octane gasoline production, indi­cated he and his associates "have done our job well—perhaps even too well,” Jeffers added;

First Official Praise "It is the first official commen­

dation I have had'Since I have been in Washington.

■’The testimony has brought out that the forced . progress'of the e>’nthetlc rubber campaign has not delayed the manufacture of 100-. octane gasolme.or escort Vessels or aircraft or merchant marine. Rather the momentum of the rub­ber program- has drjigged forward all of these phases of'war.” /

Asserting that no single person had contributed as much to stimu­lating production and finding liew sources as "that grand, patriot. Bernard M. Baruch.” Jeffers added that the nibber report made by a lue.s'dentinl committee headed by B.-’ iiich ’.’has been my Bible for this job"

Denies Civilian CoddlingVigorously. denying that the

civilian^population "is being .cod- d l«C by provision of recapped

vefi for passehgeri cars through use oi "reclaimed rubber from junk piles," he said that on the I -'is of month to month surveys ot essential needs he had reduced the amount of synthetic rubber to be pVodviced by cancelling out plants with rated capacity of 224,- 000 long tons.

•j’l am .Very definitely of the opinion that It would be a tragic error to further reduce th'e amount oCmbber to be produced,’’, he de­clared. i ''

Jeff(?rs said Petroleum Adminis­trator Ickes overlooked three, im­portant factors in hie testimony re­specting the diMdvantages he said were s^ered by high octane gas-r, ollne. under preferences granted rubbeC He listed them as:

Factors Ox-erlooked First, the Baruch report’s insist­

ence on higher priorities for rub­ber “played a large part in the or- gwilzation oi the War Production board” and brought about a sched­uling procedure that would benefit other programs. ,,

Second, Ickes’ claim that he lost four million barrels of avia­tion gasoline by -virtue of prefer- encea to rubber did not take into account “the additional production that ■waa brought about because of oilr activities.”

'Third, the by products of the butadiene plants given the first directives would provide censtlto- ents "for .more than 20,000 'bairrHs per day high octane gaaolina” and plant* being built wtUiout dlrectl'ws j would dcmtrlbuta more to the total.OoiifiwkHi m Mlltta*F. NaaaiaHgr

Aaaerting thara la oonfiulan as to what consUtutes "military

4iecasaity,'’ ha daclarwl "eartalaly it is' pot merely the millions -at sokUen under arms.”

These aoldiersi ha', added, wo«nd be lost -without-the .80,000,000 peo­ple supplying them .with necessi-

hastfiy drawn and, ha aaid,* adopt­ed -without full realisation of their effect. . ,

There were indications that if a move to reconrinilt develops, it would have the backing of aome administration niembkrs who bave not been enthusiastic about the legi.slation.

Mniild Provide PenaltiesConnaJl has proposed tO amend

his bin, -"which authorizes govem- hvent seizure of struck mines or war., plants, to provide criminal pem^es for any person instigat: Ing a vk-ork stoppage at any plan' ■which has-been taken over.

Taft announced Jie Is 'drafting an-amendment wfpeh would give the'War Labor Boafd statirtory jurisdiction to settle' -.labor dis­putes and to enforce its decisions. His amendpicot also would pro­vide penalties for unt^ members who struck while a -case still. Is under conslderatlofi.

Ckmnally himself has moved to give the WLB statutory authority and Sepawr Wagner (D., N. Y.) has proposed that it be authorized ^"'exercise subpoena powers ^here a labor union^or employer declines to submit ' a case, as President John L I>>wis of the

.United Mine Workers did in the soft coal \vage dispute.

Abandoning plana for a nation­wide employment stabilization or­der, war Manpower Commissioner Paul V. McNutt, was directing to­day the creation of a temporary eet-u|) for handling the transition to a series ’Of permanent 'regional control agreements between man­agement and labor.

McNutt announced yesterday that a projected nation-wldfr sta­bilization order had been dropped after labor groups complained that the freeze order of April 17 was too severe in that it pre/n<- ed any triuiafera to higher^paid jobs. /

The twelve temporary regional agreements to. replace thie nation­al stabilization - order wrill be "more liberal,” McNutt said, and will permit workers to change jobs for more money If laid off or discharged, if working only part- time, or'..if they would make a greater ibntributlon to the war effort by taking a new job.

Predict Senate PassageCkJngressional supporters of

legislation to create a powerful and Independent civilian supply director today predicted early Senate passage of the measure de­spite the recent establishment of a similar agency within the War Production Board, I

construed by some legMatosB as representing .WLB’s ’ ’last resort” to head off loss of jurisdiction over civilian goods.

•WPB Chairman Donald M. Nel­son, who appointed Arthur D. -Whiteside, president - of Dun and Bradsareet, Inc., director of the new unit, has opposed any sepa­rate agency as a detriment to the war effort and to his pireaent lines of authority.

To Preen for Pis—ge Senator Maloney (D.. CoOn.),

author of tha, bill for an : inde­pendent agency, declared he would press for passage of hla bill tills week. Administration supporters said tha. meaaifrs which wrould give the agenqy equal claimant pow-ers with the Army and Navy, apparently had sufficient backing.

Malriney declared that Nelson’s new unit, supplanting the old Office of CllylllBa Supply, failed to provide ”a real civilian claimant.

” It. leaves civilian needs jil the same old attuation,” MalonFy con­tended. "The home front Would be' as poorly off aa before.’*

T fe only competitors in. sight who, an the basis of past perform­ance, ^ g b t be expected to stay In the race^ith the Hertz Hurricane are Blue 'Sjwords... second in the derby, and Braun's Vincen-tive, -

The Count aiid Blue Swords ar­rived in Baltimore on the same train yesterday, apparently none the worse for the trip from Louis­ville. ' ^

Trainer Don Cameron took a quick look at Count Fleet, pro­nounced him fit. and then left for New York. He will return later In the week, however, to supeiVise his training for Maryland’s rich­est race. \

Harold Clark's Riverland .estab­lished a Pimlico marit for the mile and three-sixteenths--^the' P n ^ - ness distance—on Saturday" when he won the Dixie Handicap In 1:56 2-H5. That is toreerfiftbs of a escond under the Preakness rec­ord set last year by Alsab.

Meanwhile a field .o f seven bontest the la.SOO-added' Survivor Stakea which featured the PiifiU- co card today.

The Augylvor. was the final pub­lic trial for ,the PreakneSs but only one colt in. today’s field was eligible for the run for the big money. That ode was H. L Straus’ New Moon, a son of Dis­covery, which had been far,from impressive in early races this year. '

Dr. Hugo B. C. Rlemer, chair­man of the Medical Advisory com­mittee, described the new law as ”a step forward to toe prevention of unnecessary blindness.” He said it would provide doctors with a true S tatistical picture as to the causes of. blindness and lead to early diagnosis and prevention In many cases.

W ashington, Maj 5—(4>h-^V^en thy time comes ^ throw the Ji^m- neta.^out of the Aleutian islands, autho^Hies here agree, the job will have to be done by American troops landing under fire and fight­ing with guns, bayonet ant gren­ade until the last enemy surrend­ers or dies.

The blow might fall this apring or summer. I t is certain to fall when the Pacific w ar reaches 'a point where Ki.ska Would be useful as a base for American operations, such as air attack# on the Kuriles islands s tring out north of Japan- proper. /

Despite months of bombing, the Japanese are believed to be firmly entrenched on Kiska and the ir supporting base on A ttiilsland, 180 miles to the west. X h e aerial poundings to which they have been subjected”' a r t n o t And cannot be sufficiently heavy to force them to withdraw . / ’

Conaunta’ Jap Resources Y et the: bombings constantly

consume the ir resources, and evi­dence th a t a t tim es they m ay be hard-pressed was seen In yester­day’s disclosure of the size of the warship escort with which they un­successfully tried to push through two transports late in March. Those two ships, carrying supplies and possibly fresh troops, were guarded hy two heavy cruisers, tWp ligh t cruisers and six destroy- ers.

Although badly outnumbered, an Arherican fdree of one heavy cruiser, one light cruiser and four destroyers Intercepted th-i expedi­tion on March 26. damaged the two heavy rruisera and one of the light cruisers and forced the enemy to retreat. ~

Am’erican damage and oasual- ties were light, said » Navy com­munique wtoch detailed the ac­tion.

The evidence indicated th a t the Japanese on A ttu and Kiska, where air bases have been under construction, needed whatever the transports Were carrying, so urgently th a t Tokyo assigned an unusually large escort.

A ir A ttacks H 'avy 'Since March 1 air a ttacks have

been heavy and sustained. The Aleutians command made 34 raids in March and .since April 1 a total of 166 a ttacks has been reported, w ith a maximum of 15 in one day.'

The Dortmund blow, however, was struck by the regular opera­tional squadrons, of first-line planes without resorting to two-engined bombers, second line planes and' normally non-operational airc ra ft which were pressed into service to achieve the record a t Cologne.
