BY GEORGE K. MOhH1S, Jh United Press Staff Correspondent(
 Hartford, Conn. october Il - (UP) - Miss Helen Wood, recent ly-appointed investigator for tho State Department of Labor, today made public the results of a sur vey showing deplorable conditions in the Connecticut needle trades. where the State Labor Department has been especially active in its campaign against sweatshops.
 Less than $15 week was paid to 5,140 out of 7,631 women, 16 years or over, employed by 10t firms, Miss Wood announced. This, she said, is less than the amount shown as adequate for an unmarried woman's living costs tu a recent survey.
 Miss Woods investigation showed 569 women - many or whom worked 55 hours a week or more - earned less than $5 a week. More than 2.500 earned less than $1O a week. Only three earned be" tween $40 and $45 week.

FRANTIC BATTLE
 IN FARM CENTERS
By RAYMOND CHAPTER Copyright, 1882 by United Press)

Copyright, 1882 by United Press)
 Washington. Oct 11.-(UP)-A terrific political struggle is being waged in the farm belt. Exasper- ated farmers are inclined to hit every head in sight. But many of them are restrained by traditional republican preferences rooted in the days of Lincoln.
 Strong indications of revolt are reported in a confidential survey now being made by the United Press, but some believe its extent is overestimated. Economic ques- tions almost entirely overshadow the prohibition issue in the second group of states to be reported. This group consists of Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska and Kansas. All were carried by Presi- dent Hoover four years ago.

Incomprehensible British

There is no taxpayers strike in Great Britain A news dispatch from London says the response to the governments appeal for prompt payment of the new income tax to help balance the budget astonlshes the au- thorities The tax amounts to one-fourth the income. Wealthy persons and industrial workers alike are joining in the rush to keep Britain solvent" Many are paying in- stalments not due until July l.
 Citizens sometimes stand in long lines to pay their taxes in this country, too, but us- ually because they have waited till the last possible date and are trying to get in be- fore penalties are imposed. Americans and British may be brothers under the skin, but there are amazing differences n temperament and in attitudes which make each almost incomprehensble 10 the other.

Economy Spreads

Eight states in the southeastern part of the country are setting the federal govern ment fine examples in economy. Virginia, although without a deficit, has reduced leg islatve salaries by 10 per cent. The gover- nor has voluntarily taken the same redue- tion He has submitted budget more than $25. 100000 below the total requested. and has advised that there be no tax increases. Other states, with deficits on hand, are cut ting salaries, reducing personnel. curtaillng general expenditures, raising gasoline taxes and trying out centralized buying for state departments. Above all, they insist on bal anced budgets. Legislatures are responding nobly to the public demand for thrift.
 Under such programs some valuable serv- ices doubtless are thrown overboard It IS to be hoped that they may be restored without too much delay when conditions again per nit On the other hand. this searching for ways and means to economize should reveal services which never were wise or justified. but which were undertaken for political req sons, or merely in the expansive spirit which our late false prosperity engendered. If these can be permanently reegated to oblivion, so much the better for everybody.

Books For Youth

Librarians tell us there has been a big change in national reading habits lately. Right after the war young people went Tn for shocking literature - at least, 1t shocked their parents and grandparents. It certainly wasn't the old familiar stuff their elders liked when they were young. Then came boredom as many thoughtful persons had predicted when the fearful were predicting the complete ruinaton of youth. And nowf
 The circulation in every public library has almost doubled in the last two years, says a member of the executive council ot the American Library Association, and the young people are responsible by their de- mand for books on economics and biogra- phy, books on Russia, books on govern mcnt, science and world problems Never in the history of the United States has there been such a sudden change in reading tastes.
 What these voracious readers get out of their reading will depend, of course, on whats in the books and how they are read. Superficial, popular stuff of the gossipy sort won't improve the quality of readers thinking. But books of sound historical, literary and scientific qualities stimulate sound thinking. That's fine for the kids, and in the long run it may do society as whole some good

Retain Milit ~'y Training

There seems to be concerted movement among colleges and universities to rid their institutions of all military training courses We thought that they had become such an integral part of most collegiate and advanced courses that their value was recognized. It is not the intention of the War Department to make this nation warminded. We are peace-loving nation. And not even the most rigorous military training for our youth would make it any different than 1t is today, anxious to be at peace within and without its boundaries. But military train ing imparts to the boy of tender years certain fundamentals that even the strictest academic regime cannot produce.
 The direct charge that is made IS that Reserve Officers Training Corps and the Citizens Military Training Camps are pro- noted in defiance of the national defense act. Furthermore, it is regarded as an en- croachment of the federal government into a field in which the state and local authori- ties are supposed to be paramount namely, education. We hardly regard our military training courses as any encroaehment. Per haps the War Department may go bit too far in indicating certain courses Tn character education, but the general idea IS sound and not to be discarded at this moment when 1t is making good headway.
 There have been attempts made to drop military training camps for students in the interest of economy. That would be more in keeping with the times. But we don't believe that our universities have been i'm posed upon by the government to the extent that the War Department is placing danger ous propaganda in the hands of it's thous- ands of students so easily swayed one way OF the other. If it can be proved that the efficacy of the military courses is futile, that strdcnts are not receiving actual military training then it will be time to act. But we have heard such good reports from men who h,ve partaken of the advantages of the R. O. T. C. and C. M. T. C. that We can- net forsakc the cause without more suffl- cient reason than that advanced to date.

NO CHURCH BELLS?
(Hartford Courant)


 A recent investigation of the churches of Kansas City resulted in the doleful report that, of forty-slx churches, forty-three were unequipped with bells. The news is enough to make the last cynical ask what the country is coming to. After all, one may close ones eyes to the motion pictures or ones ears to the radio as sym bols of change, but church bells are another matter altogether. They are embedded in the history and lore of all Christian countries. Their sound is part of every child hood memory. A nuisance they may be to late sleepers, but q regrettable.
 When the news af Trafalgar ar rived in Chester, the bells rang a ! merry peal, alternating with one deep, mournful toll in grief for the dead Nelson. Until recently, the church bell played a solemn part in every New England town, tollinG off the age of each resident who had died. Fires were signalled, the militia was summoned on training day, and the first news of any great national event was announced by the clangor of the bell. The tele- phone, the daily newspaper, and the automatic fire alarm have re- moved some of the bells chief functions in the town, although the quickened beat just before the ser mon begins is still, at some churches, necessary warming to the laggard.
 But whether the church bell has present practical use or not, it can never be superfluous. Since Biscop brought the first bell into England, it's sound has been a part of the heritage of the English Sneaking races.

The Enemy Within

It beg ms to look as if the world truly were not ready for international peace. To sim plc-minded folk not vcrsed in the lntrIcacles of diplomacy ard national policies. d prompt application of general economic boycott against Japanese goods seems logical weapon to use in the present crisis. To the statesmen in the worlds capitals and to their representatives at the League of Nations Council. that weapon apparently has too many strings tied to it. It would have the disapproval of various domestic interests, which are more powerful than mere voters.
 Precedents in their own shady pasts also handicap the nations. At one time or another all of them have done somewhere what Japan is now doing. The British today are punishing India for boycott against Brit ish goods and are therefore in position to sympathize with Japan - which they prob ably hate to do - but not to punish her - as they probably would like to do.
 Furthermore. according to Norman An gel. British publicist: Tt is sem-secretly explained that the paralysis in this affair IS due partly to assurances given in the past 70 Japan: By Great Britain and the United States at the time of the London naval con- ference. to give Japan free hand in Man.
