Nearest home, Fred R. Fairchild, professor of economics at Yale, says of New Haven's administrative or ganization as shown in the chart:
 ". there are so many elected officers that it is impossible to hold the mayor fully responsible for the conduct of the city's affairs.
 =. New Haven has altogether too many separate boards the city's administration might be cen- tralized in a much smaller list of departments in many cases bet ter results would come from de- partments with single heads than with boards ."

New Haven Taxplayers, Inc., has just published an organization chart of New Haven which 'sThe Union Times'' presents above. Mayor Murphy's message to the Board of Aldermen in January, I94l, was taken as giving an 'soffi- cial recognition to long-known, widely admitted need for charter revision," and New Haven Taxpay- CTS, Inc., has published its chart in order to give New Haven citizens picture of their city government.
 Mayors Statement
 Mayor Murphy is quoted by the organization as saying. q favor the appointment of committee to review our charter and ordinances, not for the purpose of proposing a new city government but to clarify certain charter provisions, eliminate dupli cations, repeal obsolete sections, make

 William E. Mosher, Dean of the Maxwell Graduate School of Citizen ship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University, on seeing the chart:
 <. It is difficult for anyone looking at this organization to per ceive that rational approach has been followed in the setting up of the heterogeneous mass of responsible au- thorities in the New Haven govern ment :. 1 do not see how progres- sive policies could be carried out in consistent manner ."
 Know Your City
 In a bulletin, issued with the chart, MT. Wilcox says:
 ''These comments are presented so that New Haveners may know their city better. All expressions

are those of the authors and not of New Haven Taxpayers, Inc. The reader is asked to distinguish be- tween (a) structure organization as provided by the charter, and (b)
 the city administration, against which these comments are not di- rected. Furthermore, these general comments should not be considered as directed against those units of the New Haven structure that either because of or in spite of the struc- ture of the city organization as whole, have done outstanding work.
 'It is not proposed to attempt
 next, to interpret all of the charges made in these quotations. It is con- tended that each and every charge should be very carefully analysed by any charter revision commit tee that wants to do a thorough and wholly progressive job of char

certain procedures less cumbersome, to codify the ordinances and to take other such action or make such rec concentrations as may seem to be for the best interest of the city,"
 Paul B. Wilcox, executive director of New Haven Taxpayers, Inc, points out that action on the part of his organization in relation to the study of municipal government here is not criticism of the city admins tration, but is intended to draw at tention to the form of New Haven's charter provisions.
 Authorities Comment
 The chart was sent to nationally known authorities in the field of local government. Their comments have been compiled by New Haven Tax payers, Inc, to show their unanimous opinion that the New Haven charter is "outrnoded and inefficient"

Liquor Revenues
 Increases 1900 PC.

The states now get Is times as much revenue from alcoholic beverage taxes as they did before prohibition al though the consumption of such bev- erages has not yet reached pre-prohi- bition levels, the Federation of Tax Administrators reports.
 The increase in revenue since pro- hlbltion - approximately $320,000, 100 in lo40 as compared with 100000 in l9l5-comes from special sales taxes on alcoholic beverages which were not levied by the states before prohibition, when only occupational license taxes were collected.
 The $32O,OOO,OOO figure does not in clude liquor store profit of the IS states which exercise a complete or partial monopoly on the sale of alco- holic beverages. It does include the taxes levied by all IS states on beer and by many of them on whiskey and wines sold in their stores. Revenue obtained by Kansas, Oklahoma, and Mississippi-the three "dry" states from licensing 3.2 per cent beer and wine is also included. Most of the revenue comes from license fees and taxes levied by the other 2 license control states"

ence:
 The organization of the govern ment of New Haven violates nearly every principle of good administration which our best governed cities apply in the management of their affairs, It does not make for clear-cut re- sponsibility to the public, nor for efficiency in operation
 Professor Edwin A. Cottrell of Stanford University, California, says
 "As shown by the chart, the or ganization of New Haven is a mas terpiece of obscurity, overlapping du- plication, and evasion of responsibility to say nothing of the overlapping town and city jurisdictions. But to have 57 elective officers and more than 160 lay citizens doing much of the work that could be done more adequately by experienced pro fesSlonals seems a waste of good

Board Named
 For Women s
 Apparel Rate

WASHINGTON.-Appointment of a committee to meet here. June 10 to recommend a new minimum wage for the women's apparel industry was announced by Philip B. Fleming, ad- ministrator of the wage-hour divi sion.
 The committee is instructed to in vestigate economic and competitive conditions in the industry and to rec ommend the highest minimum wage LID to 40 cents an hour which will not substantially curtail employment.
 The manufacture of garments list ed as women's apparel IS now carried on under a 35 cent minimum wage under the apparel wage order which went into effect July Is, l94O. The apparel wage order covered the manu- facture of all garments made by the cut-and-sew process for men, women and childen.
 In April, an industry committee convened by the administrator rec commended establishment of mini mum wage of 40 cents an hour for mems cotton garments. A minimum wage of 321s cents an hour had been established for most of these garments in the apparel wage order of July IS, 1o40.
 David Dubinsky, general president of the Intl. Ladies' Garment Workers Union (AFL), will head the employee representatives on the committee.

Strikes Are Banned
 In Union Contracts

COngressmen who are talking about anti-strike legislation could get some food for thought out of a report issued this week by the Department of LabOr's Bureau of Labor Statistics.
 The bureau analysed thousands of union agreements, and found that in practically all cases there were provisions banning strikes during the life of the pacts, or specifying that advance notices of 30 days, or more, must be given before a walkout may be called.
 These findings, the report in- dicated, prove that written col lective bargaining agreements, rather than legislation, will solve the problems of strikes.

BORED WOMEN-Your country
needs you!
Life has been calling you for a
long time, but you did not know how
to answer. Now, in this time OF
national emergency, there is so
much for all women to do-so much
that Is necessary and useful! This
strenuous day may revitalize you as
well as make your country secure.
I sincerely believe many women
who are haraSsed by ennui and by
minor physical complaints again
would feel the surge of health II
they became busy and interested in
some work. IN case you wish to
do something to aid your country
and at the same time save your
zest for living, here are some sug-
gestions:
At home-Sew for the Red Cross
or Bundles for Britain. Organize
benefits and buy ambulances. Sell
war relief costume jewelry.
ElseWhere-If you are mechani-
cally minded, you can learn to tear
down and assemble car motors. You
must have this background as an
ambulance driver. The Motor Corps
of the Red Cross will give you trans
port training. Before this, you must
pass the Red Cross mechanics
course, f1rst-aid courses, and provide
your own car, gas and uniform.

Dear Miss Dix: We are very
young. I am % and my wife is
81. We have been married Is
months and have a baby. Both
OF us have limited educations, she
less than I. My only ability to
make a living lies in the strength
of my back, and I earn meager
wage. Because we cannot have
luxuries my wife is very dissatis-
fled and unhappy, and that takes
all Of the pep out of me. I tell
her that even If we never have
any money we have the best thing
in the world because we have per-
feet health, and that there is much
more in life that is valuable than
the fine clothes and good times she
Graves. I build dream castles for
our future. but they do not excite
her matter-of-fact mind nor re-
lieve the strain we must endure
as the result of our present unful-
filled desires. What can you say
that will help thousands of young
people like us? C.S.
Answer-Nothing that you will
like to hear, because I can only
repeat to you the old proverb that
says that those who marry in haste
repent at leisure, and the truth of
that you are finding out in your
own bitter experience. You rushed
into marriage before you were ready
for 1t and now you are paying the
price of your folly. There is nothing
else in the world more pathetic than
the fact that there are millions of
marriages that are miserable fall
ures because boy and girl lacked
the patience and the self-control to
wait to marry until they could lay
secure foundation under their
new home.
They would not wait to find out
II what they felt for each other was
a deep and abiding love or merely a
passing attraction. Still less would
they wait to be certain that they
had congenial tastes and the same
aspirations and purposes in life.
They would not wait for the boy
to have some settled trade or Oc-
cupation by which he could support
a family. They would not wait to
accumulate a little money to tide
them over sickness, or losing job,
or any of the accidents of life that
are trebly disastrous when they
come to us when We are unprepared
for them.
They are children who want what
they want when they want it and
who take it without counting the
cost or seeing how surely they are
heading for the rocks. They befool
themselves into thinking that some
miracle will happen that will save
them from the consequences Of
their recklessness. and that. any
way, that love is enough and that II
they be together they ask nothing
else of life.
And so they marry, the silly little
school girls and boys, who have to
take their husbands and wives home
to mamma and papa to support;
the poor, deluded youngsters who
think that if they put their two
starvation salaries together they
can marry and be happy living on
bread and cheese and kisses.

Upon completion of their training
they will get jobs paying $72.5O and

Atlantic and Pacific coasts and
aboard special training vessels. Full
information can be obtained and
application for training can be made
at any Coast Guard recruiting office,

but that local draft boards custo-
marily defer or exempt them indl-
Vidually.
When an applicant completes his
training he does not work for the
Government, but for one of the
steamship companies. He immedi-
ately gets his ordinary seaman's
rating, carrying the s72.50 pay, and
usually he gets an able-bodied sea-
mans rating within three months,
which raises his pay to $95. Trans
portation is furnished both to the
training station and to a job aboard
ship on completion of the course.
The trainee does not have mill
tary status. but high standard OF
discipline is maintained.
Opportunities for advancement are
excellent. Graduates are members
of the Maritime Service and as long
as they serve eight months a year
on an American merchant vessel
they are eligible to receive months
retainer pay and month of addl-
tional training with pay each year.
They can also take other CORE
