LOCAL YOUTH IN
 NAVY CONTINGENT
l2 Accepted Yesterday at New Haven; Splendid
 Spirit Prevails in State

Getting men like you is a tough assignment, as Connecticut has the largest percentage of It's inhabitants engaged in national defense work, declared Lieutenant Walter F. Hinckley, officer in charge of Navy Recruiting activities In Connecticut, in his talk to the twelve recruits who enlisted today.
 "This is not because of the lack of patriotism. Your being here proves that this is not so. The real reason Is the fact that industry tied up with the national defense pro- gram, is in a position to offer unus- ually high wages to young men. How long this will last no one knows But If thes. same men gave a thought to the future and their security and considered what the navy has to offer, a large percent age of those qualified would join up just as you have.
 without modifying the high standards for enlistment, the Navy has grown from force of 90,O0O men in 1889, to 300,0O0 today. The Navy will continue to maintain those high standards because past experience has shown that only by securing the best there is in Amer ica's youth can we maintain a Navy second to none. It has always been a volunteer service and doubtless will always remain so. Every man is in 1t because he chose to be there"
 Those enlisted and sent to New port today were: Paul s. Gionfrido, 22 Kennedy street, Hartford, John P. Sarmento, B Meadow street, Waterbury; Joseph A. Lemieux. 118 Porter's Pass, Kensington; William Pronechen, 2 West avenue, Milford; George c. Dillon, 198 North Main street, Norwich; Elvin w. Dickson, New London County Home, Nor wich: Angelo J.

ROYAL CANADIANS
 AT ARENA SUNDAY
Two Great Shows in One to Feature Return of
 Fall SwingsatiOns

Guy Lomhardo and his Royal Canadiens, heard from coast-to- coast every Saturday evening on a national hook-up, will bring theil famous Sweetest Music This Side of Heaven, to the New Haven Arena on next Sunday afternoon and evening as the first in fall series of swingsations will be pre- sented at the outstanding musical show center in Connecticut.
 Lombardo has ranked with the big name" bands in the country for the last decade. No band in history has enjoyed the continued success of the Lombardo organiza- ton. For many years they have en- joyed the ranking at the very top of the orchestra heap. Only re- gently they were adjudged winners in the radio editors poll, which marked approximately ten years at the head of the list.
 Probably the first orchestra to realize the value of radio, Lombardo and his Royal Canadians have been on the air since the earliest days of broadcasting. Featured with Guy are his brothers Carmen, Lebert Victor, the Lombardo Trio and Kenny Gardner.
 This will be another TWO Great Shows In One," on "The Show of the Week., as super stage show will be presented on the first half of the program with the Harry Bep- man band playing for stars from radio, stage and screen.

TEN STATES LOSE
 SOME INDUSTRIES
Not Needed Manufactured Articles to Stop; AIl-Out
 for Defense Work
By JOHN D. GONZALES United Press Staff Correspondent

 Washington, Sept. 3-(UP)-The administration initiates & vigorous effort to "cut of the fat and harden the muscles" of civilians today.
 Beginning a realistic all-out de- fense program" 1t will start scrap ping less essential civilian produc- tion and driving the present $60,- 000, 0,000, 900 armament machine to the limit.
 President Roosevelt said at his press conference yesterday that the tempo of the rearmament drive must be speeded. He indicated that many more orders would be given industry within the next SO to 90 days, to be followed by requests to Congress for a supplemental defense appropriation ana more lend-lease funds.
 Tn statement of general policy, the presidents new supply priorities and allocations board, headed by Vice President Henry A. Wallace, declared after Its initial meeting that "every available man and machine must be employed either on direct defense requirements or at work essential to the civilian econ- omy." ...
 The board asserted that produc- ton Shall be stimulated and or ganized to the limit of the nations resources" chiefly through the ave- nue of asking essential indus tries which sap" supplies and machinery resources to restrict or abandon production. This policy, the board said, "is necessary to a realistic all-out defense program" |"
 CurtaiI Production
 While the "less- essential" indus tries were not named, defense off, cials pointed to surveys now being made for curtai4.lg production of stoves, electric appliances, washing machines, zippers, aluminium ware, metal office furniture, refrigerators, air conditioning apparatus and other civilian items in at least 20 areas in 10 states.
 The communities being surveyed are confidential but officials said they were in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and Massachusetts.
 Explaining that the government will seek to utilize existing facilities for defense, the board said change overs from non-defense to defense production would be made with a minimum loss of time.
 But" it added, "the less-essen- tial must go.
 This means cutting of the fat and hardening the muscles"
 The board said that 1t would ini- tiate immediately campaign to trout out" materials hoarded by certain industries and traders" in cellars and attics for military and essential production. An inventory will be made of supplies of mate rials, scare" buying for future re- quirements will be discouraged and a conservation plan emhodying re- strictions on designs, models, styles and types of production of civilian goods will be inaugurated.

Offered as an explanation for the advanced wages sought was the dec- laration that service employees in the Waterbury schools have received no increases for the past twenty years, and that the rising cost of living made present salaries made quate. It was pointed out that this condition was reflected by recent resignations of school janitors. The board last night voted two changes in the service staff: Nicholas Sac- chi, assistant janitor of Wilby high school, transferred to LGavenworth; and Francis Joyce, substitute jarl- itor, appointed fuil-time assistant janitor ct Wilby.

Present at the meeting were number of mothers from the Abbott school district who protested against the closing of classrooFnS in some schools while others nearby were overcrowded.
 pr. Thomas J. Condon, superin- dent of schools, stated that he in. tended merging the second and third grades at Abbott chool un- der a common teacher, but pointed out that the practice had been free Quently employed in the past. hl addition, he said, he planned closs ing one classroom in the following other three primary schools: Driggs, Chase, and Merriman. The average attendance in Waterbury class. rooms, Dr. Condon indicated, Is 35, while some of those which will be closed have as few as IS. The rules committee was selected to conduct the proposed survey.
 The appointment of Harold V. McGrath as physical education in- structor was approved, and the res- ignations of Miss Mary E. Cronar, physical instructor: Miss Mary c. Carroll, Washington school teach- CT: and Lehman A. Hoefler, Leaven- worth high school instructor, were accented. Miss Carroll was placed on the city pension list. Mir.

Business Activity In

Slight Let-Up Observed in July's Figures; Current

Boston, Sept. 3--(SpeciaD- AL though business activity in New England during July declined a It, tie more than one per cent from the rate which prevailed in June, the current level of activity is still higher than in any other previous month, the New England council activity in July, as measured by the Yeported today.

For each of the past five months, business activity in this region has averaged 30 per cent above the corresponding month of 1040.
 The fact that there was com- paratively little change in the rate of indugtrial production in New England between June and July, although this period normally re- fleets a marked let-down in business activity, the council said, indicates the dominating influence of pro- duction for defense in our manu- featuring establishments.
