M The Local TheaterS
POLI,S

That many innocent men have been executed after they were con- victed on circumstantial evidence is the thematic basis of the unusual screen offering, Stranger On the Third Floor" opening three day engagement on Wednesday at the Loew Poi Theater.
 Pointing up this theme with a vivid example, the picture plots its action around the weird experiences of a young newspaperman who tes- tifies in a murder case. His evidence which is honest but misleading, serves to convict the wrong man; and while he is worrying about it, the reporter finds himself the sus- pect in another killing, under cir cumstances which indicate that similar fate is in store for him.
 How he and his pretty fiancee endeavor to find the mysterious Stranger who, they are convinced, is the real killer, and the dra- matic outcome of their search, make for the gripping conclusion to this distinctive film.
 Peter Lorre as the Stranger, John Mcclure as the young re- porter and Margaret Tallichet aS the heroine, head the cast of this hit which includes such favoriteS as Charles Waldron, Elisha Cook, Jr., Charles Halton and Ethel Grif- f1eS.
 On the same program is another smash hit, "Sing, Dance, Plenty Hot" with Vera Vague, Johnny Downs. Ruth Terry and Billy Gill; bert.
 Attractions current at Loew's Poli include Brigham Young Frontiersman" with Tyrone Power, Linda Darnell and Dean dagger, and Yesterdays Heroes" with Rob- ert Sterling. If you haven't al- ready seen this splendid double hit program arrange to do so before the concluding performances to- morrow evening.

 The film has been hailed as the years finest human interest drama and is masterful story of the worlds biggest city.
 Cagney plays the part of an East Side newsboy who discovers that one must be hard and tough to make dent in the town. Miss Sheridan has the role of girl who finds that the price of success can be very high. Together they plan to accomplish something = to beat their way through the cruel oppression of the towns seven and a half million struggling souls.

STRAND

Flowing Gold" with John Gar field, Frances Farmer and Pat o. Brien; plus Wayne Morris and Rose mary Lane in Ladies Must Live' comprise the fine twin bill coming to a close tomorrow evening at the pop ular Warner Bros. Strand theater.
 Starting "wednesday Strand pa- irons will be treated to one of the greatest laugh hits of the season when T Love You Again." co-star- ring William Powell and Myrna Loy opens four day engagement.
 From beginning to end, the pie ture piles laugh upon laugh in series of the maddest situations ever conceived by group of authors.
 The story, in brief, deals with the plight of man who, through an ac- cidental crack on the head, suddenly recovers from an attack of amnesia which has lasted over period of eight years. It is definite shock to him when he learns that during this eight years time he has acquired not only charming wife who is about to divorce him, but spotelss repu- tation as a civic leader in his com- munity.
 Adding humor to the situation is the fact that in his pre-amnesia days he was a confidence man of no mean ability.
 Not in some time has Powell been handed a role more suited to his abilities. Myrna Loy gets a brief va cation from her characterization as the perfect wife" and is said to do a remarkable acting job. Others in the cast include Frank McEugh, Ed- mund Lowe and other favorites.
 On the same show will be Jef- frey Lynn and Brenda Marshall in Money and the Woman"

LABOR SHORTAGE.
 REPORT DENIED.
Skilled Workers Available Declares John J. Egan;
 Waterbury Cited

John J. Egsn, secretary of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, said today that A. F. of L. unions were ready to relieve any shortages of skilled labor noted in the de- fense program in Connecticut. He stated that reports of lack of suf- ficient skilled labor should be mini- mixed.
 MT. Egan said that many skilled craftsmen were forced to take jobs in other fields, citing as an ex- ample the fact that in Waterbury II skilled mechanics are working as truck drivers.
 we know where there are hun dredS of men who are skilled ma chineshop men who are now work ing on other jobs. These men have not presented themselves for fac- tory employment because they are either satisfied where they are, or they feel more secure in their pres ent employment. For instance, there are eleven skilled mechanics working as truck drivers in the City of Waterbury. Throughout the country we have hundreds of other mechanics who are now en- ployed, but not in what would be called essential defense industries. We can get fair share of this force to come into the essential in- dustrieS if need be.
 Therefore, we are not alarmed. Connecticut industry seems to be finding men as fast as the manu- lecturers can put them to work.
 Look at the situation in Hart ford, where United Aircraft started with 1900 employees and now has 18,000 which they put to work as they needed them.
 When the employers want skilled help and they are not available in the Connecticut field, then we stand reAdy to call in our men and point out to them that they are needed because they are skill ed. We could bring them in now on patriotic grounds, but we don't want to flood this state with men until there are really jobs for them.
 If the factory training here keeps apace with the development of the contract operations, the de- mand for outside skilled help will not be great, but there cannot help eventually to be a demand for more men of experience, anc when they are needed. we shall dt our part. The governor under stands that we are in accord witt his program and that we will senc out the word for trained men wher he says it is time to do so."

National guard camps were mostly tent cities, since the guard was partially trained, carried its own canvas. There were l6 of these camps, built at about one third the cost of the national army units.
 OLD SITES
 BEING USED
 All the World War camps have disappeared. They were either torn down after the war or al- lowed to go to pieces. But the government still owns most of the land and many of the sites will be used for the conscript army.
 Already the national guard has been ordered to training in some of the 1917 camps.
 Construction of the conscript army camps will be handled by the quatermaster corps, but pri- vate contractors will do the actual building. World War contractors who built at cost plus sliding scale fee would marvel at the complete ness of 1940 specifications. The new camps will not be slam banged together, and they will be built at a minimum expense.
 The basic building = the bar racks remains the same, plus added comforts and improvements with both one and two-story types planned.
 Use of power equipment and employment of standard construc- tion units and pre-fabrication will provide better barracks in less

Experience gained in the World War is going to be big help and, incidentally, will make things more comfortable for the drafted men.
 Money is appropriated; work has already started. Congress has ear- marked $10OO0O,OOO for general de- fense housing and $12S,0O0,000 for national guard barracks. Under Sem ate consideration is an additional appropriation of $338, 100000 for conscript housing, already passed by the House.
 As early as July, relatively small program for construction of tempo- rary barracks, mess halls, ware houses, administrative quarters at IS regular army posts indicated prep arations to handle initial training of conscripts as well as 100000 new recruits.
 Formal authorization of seven army housing projects for national guard units has just been an- nounced by the War Department, and funds have been allocated and construction program initiated for nine camp and hospital sites. The new national guard camps will house 111,500 men, the nine others, 307 ,000.
 Each national guard camp will provide quarters for full divi- sion.

They were com- plete towns of 1700 buildings, water and sewage systems, lights, streets, railroads, laundries, bakeries, hos pitals, offices and quarters.
 They were built in three months and half of them costs $10,000- | 900 apiece. Each trained a full wartime division of 27,152 officers and men.
 The first barracks were long narrow, one-story buildings with single board walls covered with building paper of weather strip ping, depending on climate.
