 No definite date has been set for the formal opening of the field. The war department said that of the total personnel assigned the new field, 248 will be officers. For the present, plans are being made to quarter only bachelor officers and enlisted men at the field.
 Gong. Smith was largely resporls- ible for the selection of Windsor Locks as the site of the new army base, which IS Connecticut's first. Several months ago the army ate tempted to secure authority to lo- cate the field ct Hartford and fail- ing, made plans to locate 1t in an. other state. Cong. Smith was suc- cessful in persuading the air corps that air protection is vital to Con. necticut industry, and the site ct Windsor Locks was selected.

STRIKES HAMPER.
 DEFENSE MOVES
Six Shipyards of II Closed in San Francisco Were
 Opened Today
tBy United Prew)

West coast shipyards attempted to operate today without l,70o machinists who were testing their "indispensability" by refusing to join other unionists in a "back to work" movement.
 John P Frey, head of the AFL metal trades department, said six of the II San Francisco shipyards, closed May 12 by the strike of AF'L ana CIO machinists, had reopened yesterday and that three more would resume today. But shipyard owners warned that machinists were essen- tial workmen whose return was necessary for complete operation. The Il plants have defense con- tracts totaling $600,000, 900.
 Frey and other AFL leaders have condemned the dispute as Q viola ton of the Pacific Coast Stabiliza- ton agreement outlawing strikes and lockouts. The strikers denied they participated in the agreement and rejected Governor Culbert Ol- sons proposal that they accept its provisions.
 Twelve thousand men belonged to the other AFL unions ordered to re- turn to work. They had refused to pass picket lines.
 The senate committee investigat- ing defense contracts discusses the strike today at Washington. Frey asked Chairman Harry Truman, D., Mo, to hold the committees hear ings at San Francisco.
 Government officials hoped 10- day truce would be accepted today by 5000 laborers whose strike yes- terday hampered construction at the governments $36 100000 amfnu- hilton loading plant at Ravenna, o
 A committee of strikers, members of the International Hod Carriers Building and Common Laborers Union (AFI), recommended that the workmen return to work pend- ing negotiations with the contrac- tors on their wage increase de- mands. A strike of AFL carpenters halted construction at the same plant 10 days ago.
 The dispute between Southern Soft Coal Operators and the Uni- ted Mine Workers Union awaited renewed hearings which open to- morrow before the defense media ton board at Washington. Negotia- tons collapsed yesterday amid op- orator charges that UNIV President John L Lewis sought to become a dictator" and union replies that the southern operators were guilty of "extortion unequaled by any other employing group in American industrial life"

Little Victims of "Shelteritis" Brought Back TO Normal In London Suburban Haven
bY PAUL MANNING

MMA Service St@W C0fFespouncnS
 London, May ie-The thfee-story Victorian house on wedderburn Road is suburban London didn't look like a hospital.
 That, said Anne Freud, one of the war workers there, might be one reason for its success. But she added that if they had large coun- try house, not located (as this one is) in c heavily bombed area, 1t would be even better. Then these children, whom she, Mrs, Dorothy Tiffany Birmingham and Miss Bowes- Lyon are treating for bombshock, would be cured quicker.
 There are 90 children in this house. The small "Rest Center" sign over the doorbell is It's only physical distinction from other Victorian mansions up and down the streets. These children, ranging in age from Ave months to five years (plus two sisters who are six and nine) are living proof that you don't have to be hit by c bomb to be affected by 1t.
 when these children were admit ted to the rest center, each was a mental wreck. Whether an air raid was on or not, they usually woke I'D screaming at night. During meal time they had difiiculty eating and when 1t came time to play with others. each child suddenly became . rugged individualist and refused to play.
 A CURE FOR
 "sHELTERITIS"
 After a time, however, they all began leveling out and soon returned to normal collaboration and friend- Illness. Each time a new child IS brought to the center by its mother there is always great excitement, for a while. The youngster usually cannot stand being separated, so for a few days the mother stays at the center. Then she leaves for short periods and returns. Finally, after days when the period of absence grows longer, they lose fear of be- ing alone with strangers. From then on, cure is merely a matter of sleep, wholesome food, sun ray treatments, organized play-and more sleep.
 To get the children really accus- toned to life In an air raid shelter these three women, who are rur- ming this rest center with funds supplied by the British War Relief society of America, have set up the Kitchen and dining room in the basement shelter.

avoided bombing London for three
