WASHINGTON. March "a. A
three-gun turret attack on the trl-
pie problems of ID building new
factories in non-lndustrial areas
where there is surplus labor sup
ply. % finding more idle machinery
TO do the defense production job
and 80 putting idle machines ano
men to Work-that, in brief, is the
Knudsen- -Hillman Office OF Pro-
duction management's hope for in
creasing factory output in the de-
fense preparedness drive.
If the plan works, it may do q
lot to spread defense money ali
over the country instead of con-
centrating it in the Old, established
factory areas from Worcester tc
Bridgeport, from New York TO Bal
timore, the steel and tool triangle
from Pittsburgh to Cleveland tc
Cincinnati. the auiomotive area
west of Detroit. Furthermore, If
it works, it will save a lot of post
war grief, for labor will not have
been concentrated in these small
factory centers while this defense
Job is being done, then left to
find its way back to the small towns
when it's all over.
Chester L. Davis, VINO is agricul-
lures representative on the defense
commission. is one Of the prime
believers in this idea of spreading
out the industrial area. Breaking
ground for a new alfplane assem-
bly, plant in the middle west, Davis
spelled out the idea behind putting
such plants in Dallas, Tulsa, Oma-
ha and Kansas City. With farm
production in excess OF demand
there is available in this farm belt
a potential labor supply that has
not been tapped. Farm mechanics,
with their knowledge of tractors
and combines. make good shop me-
chanics now, with a minimum OF
training And if these men can be
put to work in their own areas,
without mass labor migrationS such
as there were to Detroit in the
boom times of the roaring 20s, the
sad spectacles of mass exodus may
be avoided when war production
stops.
Housing facilities in the old IN
dustrial areas will not be over
taxed, and with new factories es-
tablished in farm areas, they can
be used for postwar production
on a part time basis, permitting
labor to continue farm production
on part-time basis. This is long
range wishful planning but it has
its merits.

Babies are just like grown-ups,"
Miss Shirley sagely observed You

I've heard my mother tell about
how directors used to pick a child

they just said, Take it away. Let's

 Before the war the St. Julian and Dinard were in channel service, thousands of Britishers across the French coast for holidays and bring ing French vacationers to Britain.
 The St. Julian was converted to war duty at the outbreak of hostili- ties and during the Dunkirk evacu- ation brought hundreds of wounded back to Britain.
 New Haven was unaware that 1t would play a part in the exchange until the two hospital ships docked at mid-morning.

 He said he followed the truck with car driven by Elton Wcod- bury, Glass company official, being directly in back of the truck and Whites car being next in line. There was a procession of other cars in back.
 Identified Three
 As the truck slowed up to ascend @ slight hill on Prospect street, White said, he saw Q group of men stooping along the shoulders of the road, near where there were rocks, and picked up something which he said under direct examination were rocks, but under cross-examination said he could not see what they were, although he assumed they were rocks because he heard rocks hit the truck and saw the men throw something.
 White identified positively the three accused as being the ones who threw something at the truck, on direct examination. Atty. Nelson Harris of New Haven represented the accused.
 These were the first arrests in connection with the strike. The last few days the atmosphere of the strike has grown more tense, 1t was learned from local police assigned to the Glass company grounds.
 A regular picket line passes back and forth in front of the driveway leading to the plant and occasion ally the police havet o push the strikers back to permit entrance of cars or trucks, 1t was learned today. Jibes are hurled at drivers of the vehicle and also at the police, policeman told The Democrat. It was rumored there was an agitator in the striking group yesterday.
 The strike began Monday and there is no sign of any peace efforts. More policemen are now assigned to duty than were originally there, four being assigned there today. i The court room was filled with members of the striking group this morning.
 Up to 11:30. only the one witness had been presented for the state. Mir White said he was accompanied by Montgomery Woolson of Nauga- tuck, who is also employed at the Glass company. It was assumed MT. Woolson would be witness for the state. Indications were this morning that the trial would last well into the afternoon.
