 Baldwin On Defense
 Wilton, Conn.,, Aug. 10 - (UP) Connecticut took the initiative more than a year ago in preparing for & national defense emergency, Governor Baldwin asserted last night at 8 meeting of the Wilton Citizens Committee for National Defense.
 As result. he said, the state was "far and away ahead of the rest of the nation" in putting its defense house in order"
 AS far back as May. 1889, he said, the National Guard was "revita- lized" and placed on an "alert basis". Physically unfit were weeded out and the militia generally strengthened.
 With the creation of @ state guard composed mostly of World War vet erans, to replace the national guard, the governor said Connecticut was two months ahead in anticipating and providing for, teh need of ade- quate home defense organization"
 Through establishment of a job- training program to meet an in- creasing demand for skilled workers, he said, the state contributed an answer to 8 vital defense problem.
 Our Connecticut plan is being studied at Washington" the gover- nor said. "It is already being used, with variations to meet local needs, in many parts of the country showing the way to the nation in- dustrially in job-training,"
 State Industries
 Hartford, Conn.,, Aug. 10 = A complete analysis of the states in- dustrial facilities was being under taken today by the joint executive defense committee of which Briga- dier- General Sanford H. Wadhams is chairman.
 Questionnaires have been sent to more than 5000 manufacturing con- cerns, General Wadhams said, in- quiring into the nature of their pro- ducts, size of their plants, transpor. tation and power facilities, equip- ment and machinery and personnel.
 The information will be used by the Connecticut council for nation al defense.
