HONOLULU, May 16.-A sit
down stoppage at Oahu Island de-
fense projects ended before the
workmen had time to sit down
except for 230 plumbers who were
escorted from the Pearl Harbor
naval reservations by United States
marines.
The unions-both A. F. L. and C.
I. O.-had planned a huge demon
stration of $4,000 men to show the
Five Companies, affiliated con-
tractors, their dissatisfaction with
wages and hours. A union official
issued a statement beforehand say
ing the work stoppage would not be
a strike and would be only tempo
rary.
He was right about the time ele-
ment. When the sit-down hour
came, the plumbers and good
many other workmen put down their
tools. The plumbers, generally cred
tied with engineering the move
began giving voice to their demands
for money and shorter hours.
Workmen Back at Jobs.
When the plumbers laid down
their tools, marines escorted them
out of the navy yard and took away
their passes.
The rest of the workmen-few
had had a chance to sit down
watched the plumbers being re-
moved. For a moment they appeared
undecided. Then they took up their
tools and resumed work.
Soon afterward the plumbers met
to discuss their next move. Many
of them had come here from the
mainland, but observers believed
their sitdown campaign had abro-
gated a contract provision that they
were to receive their return fare
after a years service. There also
appeared some disharmony within

Navy Unconcerned In Dispute.
A union spokesman said the
plumbers, now working a. hours a
week for an average of SIPS an hour
though some are getting as much
as $1.50-want a 40-hour week, S15C
an hour, time and a half for over.
time and double time for Sundays
and six legal holidays.
The dispute does not concern the
Navy, only the employees and the
contractors, said Rear Admiral
Claude. c. Bloch, commandant of
the 14th naval district.
H. c. Skeels. secretary treasurer
of the Honolulu Building and Con-
struction Trades Council. said MANY
contractors on the island were
working their men overtime at
straight wages. He said grievances
would be taken to the National La =
Dor Relations Board if they were not
settled by negotiations. He de-
scribed living conditions here as
'fantastically expensive" and said
wage scales below those on the
mainland tend to 'penalize labor"

"A. B. (. OFFICIAL
 DENIES SABOTAGE
Operations Halted In ROll= ing Mill-F. B. l. Men
 Make Inquiries

No suspicion of sabotage was held in damage last week to a machine at the rolling mill of the American Brass Co., which halted operations in that section of the plant, ac- cording to Clark s. Judd, company president. He admitted, how ever, that agents of the Federal Bu- reau of Investigation had probed the incident, claiming that they did so of their own volition.
 MT. Judd said that the sabotage theory had not been entertained at any time. There have been no ar- rests and no one has been dis charged" he said.
 The trouble was found in the lu- bricating system of one of the big machines in the rolling mill, MT. Judd said. The men in that sec- tion lost no time, being assigned to other work while repairs were being made.

The first political gun of the 104l campaign was sounded last night at the dinner given to Mrs. Chase Going Woodhouse, Secretary of State and President of the Fed erated Democratic Women's Clubs of Connecticut, by the Democratic Women's Booster Club of Water bury, in the course of remarks de- livered by J. Francis Smith, former Chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee.
 MT, Smith bestowed high praise on the administration of Mayor Vim cent Scully and expressed the hope ] that the electorate of Waterbury would "show its appreciation at the polls next fall" While it has been generally regarded that Mayor | Scully would be a candidate for reelection this fall he personally has not indicated his intentions one way or the other. Coming from MT. Smith, regarded as one of the closest political allies and advisers of the mayor, the remarks would appear to DC uOTG GIldu CdSueeA'
 Mr. Smith, who was the principal speaker at the dinner, also paid tribute to the regime of Gov. Robert A. Hurley, whom he opposed as a candidate for the nomination last September, and pointed out that ln a short time his administration had gone far.
 On the subject of national de- fense and the British lend-lease bill the speaker said it was his opinion that in crisis such as we now face here in the United States "the lead CT must be given the same power to play the game as the other fellows are playing it :"
 Mrs. Woodhouse, who was hailed as the first Democratic woman ln the state to be elected to a major political office, said that national defense can be woman's as well as a mans job. Bolstering community morale, placing confidence in chos- en leaders were among the ways that Mrs. Woodhouse encouraged the more than 200 women present at the Booster Club banquet to par ticipate in present-day events.
 Mayor Scully was unable to at- tend the dinner because of a prior commitment, but was ably repre- sented by his executive secretary John P. Fitzmaurice, who conveyed the greetings of the city to the guests of honor and the club mem bers.
 Also seated at the head-tablt were the toastmistress, Miss Mary Hennessey, president of the loca Booster Club, Mrs. Nellie Hayden county organizer of the Federated Democratic Women's Club, State Senators Edward P. Egan and Mich. ael V, BlanSfield, Representative

ARRESTS MADEON
 BENCH WARRANTS
Two Hartford Men Held In Connection With Fake
 Olive Oil Sales

Bench warrants for the arrest of two men charged with misbrand- ing food articles were issued today by Superior Court Judge Ernest A.. Inglis at Hartford.
 Both men, Albert DeRobertis S3, and Santo Gulino 29, of Hartford, were released under bonds of $1,000 each Albert and Santo were ar rested by State Policemen John J. Pomfret and James J. Finnegan, on charges of violating the uniform state food, drug, and cosmetics laws, by placing olive oil labels on al- legedly fake olive oil.
 Some weeks ago Dr. Edward J. Godfrey, Waterbury health officer, in collaboration with an agent from the United States government, in- vestigated mislabeling of olive oil sold in Waterbury. While there never was proof that the supply sold here came from Hartford, Dr. God frey was of the opinion that the oil was imported from that town to Waterbury.

OLD JAIL FACTORY
 MAY BE UTILIZED
Commissioners In Favor Of Turning It Over Now
 For Defense Training
(By Democrat Legislative Reporter)

(By Democrat Legislative Reporter)
 State Capitol, Hartford, Feb. 26- A plan to use the abandoned factory at the New Haven county jail for training of workers for defense in- dustries was reported today to have the approval of the three New Hav- en county commissioners. The train ing program would be sponsored by the City of New Haven as part of the U. S. governments defense pro- gram.
 The three-story factory building was used as plant for the manu- facture of chairs by jail prisoners until the General Assembly, at its 1897 session, voted a prohibition against jail factories. The plant has since been idle.
 Two of the three stories in the building would be utilized in the program, which has been suggested by Joseph A. Fitzgerald, superin- tendent of schools in New Haven. About 225 workers would be given training.
 The plan calls for an appropria- ton of $4500 by the City of New Haven to start the project. It is re- ported that $163, 900 in federal funds would be made available for equip qing the building for the training program.

 Dr. Healy, himself, has conduct ed or directed the study of some 10000 delinquent young persons. Only about 20 per cent of these have been girls.
 From lifetime of scientific work, Dr. Healy has found poverty, poor education, Slum conditions, and similar undesirable environ- mental factors are not the sole causes of crime among boys and girls.
 Most important cause, broadly speaking, is the chiid's feelings of being frustrated or deprived. These frequently begin with unhappineSs about attitudes others have toward

GOVERNMENT MAY
 PROVIDE FUNDS

Negotiations between the govern ment and the American Brass Go. and Chase Brass & Copper Go. for the building of new plants, probably in the Middle West, are reporting nearing completion at Washington. An agreement between the govern ment and the American Brass Co. is expected to be announced within a few days, and one between the Chase Co. and the government within two or three weeks.
 The government is represented in the conferences by officials of the ordnance section of the War Depart ment, with executives of the Office of Production Management also be- ing consulted.
 It is said that the American Brass Go. will be called on to erect a new plant at Kenosha, Wis.
 In addition to the local firms, government conferences are also un- derway with officials of the Bridge port Brass Co. and the Revere Brass & Copper Go. of Baltimore, Md.

simply by serving their apprentice ship. They must take the regular examination when it is given.
 Experiences of two typical in- ternes will show how their work goes:
 Stanley Henderson is one of the busiest men in Washington. Hun 6redS of applicants for civilian de- fense jobs sit down at his desk in the War Department every day and tell him their troubles. He was an interne in the 1938-39 class. He de- cided to make personnel administra- ton his job while he was gradu- ate student at Syracuse. He was picked by the NIPA, got a fellow ship, and was put to work in the personnel division of U. s. H. A. He didn't have civil service status, but when the examination for jun for administrator was given, he took it and passed. His civil service rating came in handy when the de fense program got under way and he wanted to transfer to the War Department.
 JUNIOR DOLLAR-A-YEAR MEN Nita K. Gavaris was in the 1938- 39 class too. She had done research for two years after she graduated from college. One of her college professors called her to have a talk and suggested she apply for ar NIPA interneship. She was accept ed, and borrowed the money fol nine months in Washington as student job holder.
 l She was assigned to 8 desk in the Labor Departments Employment Service. All regular Labor Depart ment jobs are under civil service and Miss Gavaris had to wait 8 year after she finished her interreSIlip

The chosen fifty will arrive in September. Their Washington job experience will be something like campus life. They will state their preference for & job in Commerce, Treasury, National Defense or La bor, much as they would choose their college major. Their interne- ship is for the nine-morth college year from September till June. Ait CT office hours they attend classes in government at American univer- sity, where government officials lec- ture and conduct seminars.
 Internes often discover this way that they would like to transfer from the department which was their first choice. This is allowed ii there is 8 vacancy.
 SOME PAY OWN WAY

 Some get a fellowship from thei1 college, others pay their own ex- penses. The Institute tells those who must pay their own way thai they should have at least $500. Mos of them share flats or small house: run on a cooperative basis, to GU down living expenses. They makt up parties for bowling and bicyclt trips, spend most of their leisure time together.

him.
 Usually this childish dissatisfac- tion begins in his family circle. He does not feel sufficiently loved or understood, or does not receive enough recognition. He may be nagged or threatened, or be re- Stricted or spoiled, or made to feel inadequate.
 Out of any of these, or out of ir- rational punishment, the youngster may react by resorting to urSocial conduct as a means of expressing his dissatisfaction.
 Delinquent careers do not usually start suddenly, Dr. Healy has found. They generally develop gradually, for the child gets nearer the break ing-out point after each emotion provoking experience. Once a young person has started on a delinquent career, it may be difficult to change him. Threats and compulSion are seldom cure. Best method is dealing with family re- lationshipS.
 Tn other words, the best way to prevent delinquency is to handle the boy or girl sensibiy in terms of his fundamental needs. The young per- son must receive no discrimination and must always be beloved and integral member of the family. NEXT: Do city boys turn to manhood younger than country
