 WARNING TO GOV.

New Haven, Conn, Oct. 2-(UP)- Labor's Non-Partisan League cau- toned Gov. Baldwin today that anti sabotage legislation should be care- fully considered lest under the guise of patriotic defense an att tempt may be made to strife legi- timate labor activity"
 At the suggestion of the governor, the legislative council has started preparation of an anti-sabotage program for enactment by the 1941 general assembly.
 Labor has learned through bit ter experience" the leagues state chairman, Rep. Nicholas Tomasetti, wrote the governor, "that laws de- signed for one noble purpose may be loose drafting or by unwise enforce ment be used against the entire or ganized labor movement. Selfish groups with a purpose in mind, may be quick to use the present hysteria in order to crush the very civil right of labor and minority groups"
 Tomasetti asked that the council consult with labor's representative on the state defense council, John J. Driscoll. before submitting its recommendations to the legislature.

that the Garand rifle could attain the standards claimed for it by a U. s. Army captain.
 Kenneth D. Robertson, Jr., of Concord, who described himself as an amateur ballistician, made the wager in a letter to Capt. Rothwell H. Brown, 70th tank battalion, Fort George G. Meade. Maryland.
 Robertson contended that the Johnson sefni-automatic rifle was equal or superior to the Garand rifle and had not been given fair test.
 Referring to Capt Browns appear ance before the Senate Military Af- fairs Committee several weeks ago, Robertson wrote:
 T openly challenge the accuracy of substantial parts of your testi- mony on the subject of the Garand rifle at the hearings on the Shep- pard-Walsh bill. T believe that il was largely because of your mis- leading statements that this irnpor- tant bill was killed in committee"

 The World Calendar plan, which is rapidly receiving international recognition and which already has the approval of IA governments. re- arrangeS the length of the familiar F months, equalizes the quarters and makes the calendar perpetual, every year the same. Equalization of the quarters is accomplished by giving the first mont hof every quar- ter 31 days and each of the re- maining two months 30 days. Every month has exactly 26 weekdays; every quarter begins on Sunday and ends with Saturday; and every year begins with Sunday, January l. In order to harmonize the pro- posed new calender with the solar year and its four seasons, Year-End Day Is added as an extra Saturday at the end of every year after the completion of the fourth quarter, and Leap-Year Day, another eytra Saturday in leap years only, is plac- ed after the completed second quar- ter at the end of June. Symmetry, balance, order, and stability are thus achieved without any difficult transitional changes.
