sessions that followed the layoffs complicated this situation. But now the secondhand lots are beginning to show activity as it becomes clear that they offer the best bargains in several years.
 Recall Full-T Time Work
 It has even been suggested here that government which plowed under surplus cotton and bought up and slaughtered surplus pigs might buy up a million or so jalop- pies for scrap steel to be used in the armament program. Thus at gvoern- ment expose would be cleared up the secondhand market, eliminat- ing the auto surplus just as crop surpluses were eliminated.
 Stories that the U. A. W. is on its last legs are probably exag- gerated. True, the union is hard hit. With nearly half of its claimed 100000 members suddelly laid off, dues have slumped alarmingly, and it is highly doubtful that today the union really has any such member ship as 100000 in an active sense.
 Defeat at the municipal elections last fall lost prestige for the union and the memory of steady work in the pre-sitdown days rises in the minds of many men now on three days a week.
 The drive to organize Ford lags, and the union can never consider itself safe while Ford remains un- organized.

Thus far there have been no hourly wage cuts, though of course men on three-day basis at G. M. and Chrysler or four days at Ford are getting less income. But there rave been petitions circulating in some plants for return to piece work.
 Many of the faster and more skilful men believe they have been penalized by the decision to put on an hourly basis, and are seeking return to piece work. Most union contracts up to now have left this decision up to the men.
 Best news is the fact that the secondhand car market is at las. beginning to move. Here, according to William Munger, statistician for the U. A. w., is the log-jam.
 Munger believes that the new auto-financing plan begun last year and allowing "A months instead of 12 or 18 months on extended credit plans for auto buying, helped to load up the secondhand lots with cars that were almost new.

Mrs. VerdOn in Charge of Unemployment COm-
 pensatiOn Here

Mommissioner of Labor Joseph M. Tone announced today that final arrangements have been made for Mrs. Margaret Verdon, unemploy- ment compensation commissioner for the Fifth Congressional District, to assume her duties at offices in the Lilley Building, Waterbury.
 Under the terms of sections 809d and 810d of the Connecticut Unem- ployment Compensation Act, Mrs. Verdon will serve member of an appeal board, made up of five repre- sentatives of the congressional dis tricts, which will settle disputes arising from applications of jobless workers for benefits.

During the World War she organized employment centers throughout Ireland and later did considerable welfare work in London and other parts of England. At that time she became familiar with the British system of unemployment compen- sation.
 In 1926 Mrs. Verdon came to this country and served as social worker in New Jersey and Brooklyn. She left the Brooklyn Bureau of Charities in 1884 to come to Water bury when offered the post of relief director of the Department of Public Welfare. Two years later she was appointed Superintendent of the Department. On October 30, 1887.

RIVER TO YIELD ITALY GIGANTIC
 POWER OUTPUT
IsOnzO Project Estimated 10 Provide Annually l8O
 Million H. P.
By FRANCISCO REA United Press Staff Correspondent)

Rome, Jan. 18.-(UP)-In pursu- ance of Premier Mussolinis self suff1ciency program, giant strides are being quietly made in exploiting Italy's white coal" thus freeing the country from the necessity of buy- ing foreign, and especially English, anthracite and coke. ] So far little has been said about the huge works under construc- tion to use the water of the Isonzo river (the famous watercourse which saw so many battles and bloodshed during the World War, as source of electric power. It was only recently, one the occasion of the completion of small part of these works, 8 tunnel, that the details of the program were made public.
 Program Based on Five Points
 This program, roughly, includes the following works: Temporary def1ection of the course of the Isonzo.
 Construction of an underground tunnel by means of which the river will be conveyed to a poWerhouse over an artificial fall.
 Construction of huge dam in- tended to form a lake as a perma- nent reservoir for the river.
 Building of five additional falls. Construction of another reser- voir' alongside the lake to regulate the excess volume of the Isonzo.
 Of these works only the tunnell has been completed SO far. It isl 24 feet high, 36 wide, 12.000 feet long. The water will run through it at rate of 100 cubic meters ~cr minute.
 The IsonZo's course will be de- | f1ected at the point where the Idria river, one of its tributaries, joins it. Its water will flow into the tunnel and then be converted down large sharply inclined pipes into bigE plant where it will set turbines in motion and thus generate electrid i power.
 To Be Completed This Year
 This plant is being constructed at Santa Lucia di Tolmino. When finished it will have a potentia capacity of 50,000 horsepower and will produce 150000,000 kilowattI hours annually. The constructioI is scheduled for completion by thS end of 1888.
 While the Isonzo is being divert ed through the tunnel, the con struction of the dam will be brough to an end. Owing to the configura tion of the ground, the lake tha will result therefrom will be star shaped and constitute perhaps unique sight in the world. Tn lake will contain several million GU bic meters of water.
 After the dam and the reservoi at its side are built, the tunnd will cease to function as conveyo and the Isonzo will be deflecte into the lake. From here the wa ter will pour through the dam locks into the pipes, or artificial fal and be conveyed to the electri plant. Later the tunnel will be use for an electric railroad.

Good Evening.
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER
NO JUNE IN JANUARY

Who's interested in Spring tweedS In this January of sleet and snowP Or about shades of violet or dusty pink AS seen in the fashion show. Who cares about tricky little suits, Or If boleros are of smart detail, Or about Paris blues, reds and grays When January winds wildly wall! Snow and snow all about us, A Stinging sleet to add crust, What care we about delicate dusty pink, Let's stick to wines and rust. Spring tweeds and flannelsl Thumbs down: no sale, What care we about lovely colors With January blowing gale. There's no June in January, No hot sun to burn, Cold, cruel, hard winter, but Bei mir bist due Schoen.
