NEW ENGLAND
 SURVEY STARTED
Council and Commerce Depart
 ment Making Move
BY GEORGE H. MANNING

(washington Bureau of N. B. Herald.)
 Washington, D. C., Aug. 7.-Pre- field work in the survey of Connecticut's commerce and indus try is being made by the United States department of commerce with the assistance of the New Eng land council is near completion.
 This survey. which will cover all the New England states, will reveal the present and potential marketing possibilities of New England, D. Julius Klein, director of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, says. Dr. c. B. Artman is super vising the field work, and reports gratifying progress.
 The survey Is being conducted in response to requests from the New England council and other business interests of New England, and con- templates a thorough examination of all local industries, subsidiary trade areas, purchasing habits, buy ing power, proportion of different nationalities, incomes, occupations, and other trends of consumer buy ing habits that influence the move ment of merchandise within the area.
 The complex interlocking of in- dustriesa and agriculture, together with the ramified channels of dis tribution, necessitates the return of a fair proportion of the question naires properly executed in order to obtain 8 representative sanpling Of opinions, Dr. Klein says.
 While this gratifying response indicates the fine work performed by the New England council and the state associations in preparing the area for the survey, the many com- plex facts that must be sought out and studied necessitate a continuing response to requests for information if the survey is to be completed within the allotted time" Dr. Klein said today.
 Preliminary work is also nearly completed in Rhode Island, and gen. eral survey work is progressing satisfactorily in Massachusetts Maine, New Hampshire, and Ner- mont, Dr. Artman reports.
 It is expected that the findings will provide an intimate acquain- tance with the precise status of New l England's industries and distribu-
 ton, and establish factual basis for the use of local and national distributors and advertisers.
