 "Yes, sir" said D'Amico, a short, wiry Italian who lives in Torring- ton. Things are looking up." He paused to look himself over In q full-length mirror in Q local bar Der palace.
 "Tncome to the barbers," D'Amico said, "is up more than % per cent since the minimum prices of 40 cents for haircut and 20 cents for shave were introduced on october IS. Barbers now have some money to feed their children"
 "Everything is better" he went on, conditions in the shops, more men are being employed, they are getting higher wages. Yes, sir, things are looking up."
 How do the barbers like the new minimum price rules?
 Fine" said D'Amico, "but, of course, there are a few who don't like the idea and are trying to un- derprice their competitors. Most trouble is in the larger cities, such as Hartford New Haven and Bridgeport. Waterbury, however, is in fine shape"

MILK INDUSTRY
 HANDED REPORT

Hartford, Conn.,, July 22.-(UP)-- Four unacceptable conclusions" re- garding Connecticut's milk indus- try are made in Q preliminary re- port of the marketing program coln- mittee appointed by Administrator S. Mclean Buckingham, and writ ten by Charles A. Beard, New Mil- ford.
 They are that Connecticut farn- CTS cannot afford to produce milk for use in manufactured products such as ice cream and butter and this production must be discour- aged.
 A more equitable distribution of the burden of surplus" milk must be made and more efficient cotl- trol over 1t established.
 The price of fluid milk must be adjusted from time to time, but is limited on the downswing by pro- duction costs and on the upswing by the potential influx of milk from outside the state.
 The difYential paid farmers for milk of high butter fat content IS too low and must be raised.
 The report does not include Q plan for marketing, that phase of the new program to be considered in the committees final report.

Judge, Who Had Him Put Under Arrest Yester-
 day, Is Sure of It

Cleveland, July 23.-(Up). Judge Samuel E. Kramer, who had pr. Francis E.

His arrest was effected after a fast taxicab chase that ended when the doctors automobile was over- hauled at an intersection as 1t sped toward Erie, Pa., where Dr. Town send had Q speaking engagement.

Alfred Wright, who has sued for an accounting on funds col- lected by the Q. A. R. P. sacharow wanted to know if 1t was not true that Dr. Townsend had been offered a percentage of the gross profits of company making pills if he would endorse Q testimonial for publica. ton in the National Townsend Weekly. :.
 "That's none of your business" snapped Dr. Townsend. He rose and stalked from the room with his at- torncy, Sheridan Downing, at his heels.
 sarcharow rushed to Judge Kra. mer's court and secured an order to detain the doctor. Meanwhile, pr. Townsend stopped at the hotel bar- Der shop and had a shave. Then, with his wife and publicity agent, he left in Q rented car.

Manchester, N H., July 22 - Nup) - This New England indus

The flor Eents sign soon will be hung in 56 NaiIdings formerly occupied bby the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company, Anericas larges single unit textile plant. All hope of reopening the Alnoskeag Company faded yester- day with the signing of a federal court order for immediate liquida- ton. Joseph P. Carney, New Eng land RICO manager, former In- ternal Revenue collector and Massa- cl1usetts ERA administrator, and Frederick 0.

 More than 5000 of the 1l,000 empIoyes thrown out of work by closing of the 1l0-year-old Amos- keag plant here last summer are still jobless. Approximately 5000 are on city and county relief rolls. The remainder either have dwind- ling independent incomes or have been doing odd jobs. Only 2,O00 former employees have found work Elsewhere.
 The citizens textile committee, formed last December to aid city officials and the governors textile committee in an attempt to reopen 4he Amoskeag mills, will remain intact, according to Chairman Ar thur E. Horeau, and will concen- trate It's efforts in endeavoring to lease the mills to new industries, preferably to those which will take over entire industries.
 The March flood was the final l5low to efforts to salvage the busi- ness. Use of quick assets to repair e2,OO0, 900 damage caused by the raging Merrimack river would not have left sufficient operating capi- tai to reopen the mills, according to Treasurer Dumaine.
