Bishop Brady Backs
 Hoover Relief Plan
Waterburian Signs Statement Advocating Relief of
 Famine Conditions Among European Democracies

Hartford, March 26 -- Most Rev. Matthew F. Brady, Catholic bishop of Burlington (vermont), native of Waterbury and former Hamden pastor, is one of the IS bishops of Catholic dioceses throughout the United States who have signed a statement supporting the plan of Herbert Hoover for the relief of famine conditions among the small European democracies, according to the National Committee on Food for the Small Democracies. William Car dinal O'Connell, archbishop of Bos- ton, and Most Rev John A. Floersch, archbishop of Louisville, Ky, were also among the signers.
 The statement signed by the pre- lates, follows:
 "As individual American citizens in cooperation with religious lead- CTS of every denomination, who have publicly expressed their support and approval of Herbert Hoovers plan to relieve starvation within the oc- cupied countries of Etrope-we join In giving expression of our strong belief that the exigencies of even just war do not require that mil- lions of innocent children, women and on-combatants be made to endure famine.
 "A victory built on the dead bod les of starving women and children, innocent victims of the war over which they have no control, will de- stroy human sentiments that must necessarily enter into any form of enduring peace.
 "The proposals of the National Committee on Food for the Small Democracies, of which former Presi- ideTt Herbert Hoover is honorary chairman, are humanitarian and should be carried out in the name of Christian charity. Conditions set up by this committee specifically provide that none of the food, di- rectly or indirectly, shall reach or benefit Germany. As long as this condition is maintained we cannot see why such a Humanitarian and Christian proposal should be re- jected.
 We hope and pray that those who guide the destinies of nations will be conscious of their obligation to protect the innocent, and not lay obstacles in the path of movement whose sole object is to alleviate dire distress without affording aid to those who have invaded the lands of these many millions of starving and hapless fellow human beings.
 with the Holy Father, Pope Plus XII, we believe that we can desire nothing more in such a convulsion of things than to help the bodies and raise the spirits of the inno- cent victims of war"

teen heads of state industrial and development commissions, indus trial engineers and representatives of manufacturers associations in a four -hour conference.
 Plans were made for speeding up the defense program by assisting manufacturers in New England to get defense contracts. Coordinator Creighton explained to the indus trial experts from the six states that his office at the Federal Re- serve Bank in Boston, was designed purehly as a clearing house for in- formation, and to help holders of large defense orders in farming out part of their defense production work.
 Contacts Established
 Liaison was set up at today's con- ference linking all established agen- cies which have completed surveys f available plants and facilities with the Coordinator's office where this vital information will be correlated.
 Connecticut's industry was repre- sented by W. A. Johnson, Manufac- turers' Association of Connecticut; Kenneth Gregg, Connecticut De- velopment Commission: Willard Rogers, Connecticut Development Commission.
 "The fullest possible utilization of New England's total plant fa- cility must be rapidly realized" said the coordinator in addressing the group of leading industrial engineers "Toward that end, our office t designed to assist seekers of defense contracts and to arrange for fi- nancing when 1t seems advisable"
 Tt is Washington's intention tc decentralize the immense task ot handling factory and machine shop owners who want to know how to go about securing defense orders These manufacturers, large and small should come to our office in Boston for this necessary informa- tion."

Two Agencies UniteToCheck Needed Assets
IS Branch Offices to Ob- tain Information on
 Equipment, Labor

The Department of Labor and the State Development Commission announced today the start of a state- wide survey of idle machinery in Connecticut factories which will provide daily information on ma chimes available for defense produc- ton. The cooperative program Is intended to speed the placing of sub-cont by spreading the bur- dent and opportunities of arma- ment manufacturing throughout the entire state.
 Operating through the 18 field of- fices of the State Employment Ser- vice, the Department of Labor will secure information concerning avail able weekly machine hour capa- htties: the existence of machine, } labor or material bottlenecks, or surpluses; ability and willingness of manufacturers to accept subcoi1- tracts; and will, on the basis of these facts, maintain a current in- ventroy of available machinery. Through this service, rl1anufactur- CTS will be able to contact the vari- ous field offices throughout the state to report either idle machinery or bottlenecks.
 Information Sought
 Information which will be secured by the personnel of the State Ern- ployment Service through personal contact with manufacturing con- cerns will be cleared promptly to the Government Procurement Sec- ton of the State Development Com mission. The statistics will then be correlated and disseminated to procurement officials, prime con- tractors and sub.cor1tractors
 Believed to be the first coopera- tive service of its kind fin the country, the Department of Labor and the Development Commission hope to bring the maximum of Con- nectiout's productive machinery into continuous use in the production of national defense material.
 More than 500 government pro- curement officials and prime con- tractors have already received the recent Development Commission publication, "Register of Manufac- turing Facilities of Connecticut In- dustries for National Defense Pro- curement," which covers the opera uons of over 1400 manufacturing concerns. This new Register pro- vides information on the material Connecticut manufacturers are equipped to produce. The joint sur- vey of idle machine hours will pro- vide procurement officials and prime contractors with up-to-the-m minute information on location of machin- cry operating upon limited sched- ules.
 Boston, March 25.--Moving swift ly into action within 24 hours of the announced opening here of the ofiice of New England's Coordina- tor of Defense, Albert M. Creighton Coordinator appointed recently by William 0. Knudsen, met with fif-
