 NEA Service stan Correspondent
 New York.--Mrs. Agnes Brodel oi Detroit and California is quite sur prised at the idea that an extraordi' nary child is apt to become family problem. Even though one daugh. ter achieves fame ahead of older arlo iust-as- ambition sisters, Mrs. Bro' del says, "They can remain exactly the same in the fanily-H you love them the same"
 Mrs. Brodel should know. She is the mother of red.topped Joan Leslie of the movies. At 16, Joan has played in five films and 's short, and she is starred In the cur rent Sergeant York" Her perform. arice in the last feature prompted forecasts that this young, lissome girl Cets 6 style for coming movie heroines.
 EXPECTS SUCCESS FOR
 HER OTHER DAUGHTERS
 And Joan has two beautiful sis- ters. They are Betty, 19, and Mary, 2i.
 They'll get ahead too" the mother said. Just watch theml"
 Petty always wanted to go into pictures, too" Mrs. Brodel re- lated, "hut believe she has about decided they aren't for her. She's all wrapped up in learning to fly"
 It was Joan who put Betty up to flying, their mother hinted, At least Joan egged Betty on. It started about two months ago. Betty attends private school a half mile from home in Burbank, and she. comes flying over, signal ing with her lights, till they all run out Into the back yard with white towels waving, And they shout, There's our Bettyp
 Mary stili would love to star" her mother said. But she wants a home too-she'S getting one now, in fact
 Mary was married, few months ago, to . pianist-composer. Tn his mother. Jaws estimate, the musi- clan has Q brilliant future.
 There's scientific backing for Mrs Brodel's belief that unusual gifts, even fame, needn't disturb family relations. However, when you have a son or daughter with some quality that attracts notice everywhere in town, it's neces- sary to keep before all of them, ct all times, the fact that they're equal in their mothers and fathers affections.
 Mrs Brodel,S conversation, refiect- ing her faith and her concern go- ing in three directions Simultan- eouslx, Is Q good example to follow Many child experts point out that what irritates and wounds and sometimes warpS the less-talented sister or brother is not ony getting less attention outide the home. Very often that Is accompanied by favor itism in the family. which hurts more.
 CHILD MAY HAVE
 HIDDEN GIFTS
 For your own guidance in such a situation, it's helpful to keep in mind the fact that quite possibly the un- recognized child has gifts. Recent studies again show that what makes recognized genius or great-suecess is not only native qualities but also environment. And one of the strong est environmental factors is the re- lationShips the children have among themselves and with their parents.

 CONTRACTORS HAVE PLAN
 The contractors are certainly aware of the problem. The Home Builders Institute of America, specialized branch of the Ma tiOnal Association of Real Estate Boards, in letters to Donald M. Nelson, director of the new Sup plies PriOrities and Allocations Board; and Charles F. Palmer, Defense Housing CO-ordinator, has made certain recommends tiOns. It urges priOrities for housing in defense areas on homes up to 500 in value; flor construction already under way and for re-cOnditioning of homes. Apartment houses, or homes for rentals should be i'm cluded.

 A.F.L. ESTIMATE
 The approaching crisis ;', the building trades is not confined to Connecticut. LabOr's Monthly Survey for August, put out by the American Federation of Labor, declared that the building trades with its 100000 organ ized workers may be the hardest hit of all nOn-defense industries. Altogether up to 2.5 million more may be added to the ranks of the jobless by January lst, according to Leon Henderson, head of the Office of Price Man. agement.
 A start was made in Hartford a few weeks ago in dealing with the priorities problem when clinic was held to help distribute contracts and subcontracting to small manufacturers who could shift over from consumer goods production to defense. Labor however, was not represented, nor was the building construction field giver any consideration although there is a housing shortage created by defense production not only in Hartford but throughout the State A similar clinic is to be held in New Yrok City this month.

 CAN'T STOMACH HIM
 Cuazzo's action in breaking up the Machinists' picket line at the C & O Company, and making promises which experienced Or- ganizers know cannot be fulfilled stands as another indictment. According to reports, the CLIO. in New Haven is having difficulty in stomaching CuazzO, and hopes to give him up as soon as pos sible.
 The feeling is that despite much noise and publicity, Guazzo's organiz- ing attempts will be of no advantage to the men who may follow him. In the meantime, the officers of the New Haven Central Labor Council have pledged full support to the Machinists Union and to Goodrich in their cam paign to show the workers at High Standard and the other shops that Guazzo's methods are not those used by experienced organizers, and that all members of organized labor and their friends should give him a wide berth.
 SIGN THAT CARD
 In order to assist in the cam- paign at High Standard and the M. B. Company, THE UNION TIMES is publishing in this issue an authorization card. Workers in these plants should fill it out, and mail it to Clark Goodrich, New Haven Central Labor COun- cil, l37 COffe Street. These cards are kept strictly confidential, and will be seen by no one but Good rich and the attorney for the governments National Labor Re- latiOns Board. Goodrich may also be reached at the Hotel Carde.
 Goodrich announced today that he would not withdraw charges against the High Standard Co. for sponsoring a company union, until the order dis establishing the High Standard Mu- tual Aid Association had been signed and posted by a responsible officer of the company. The typed and unsigned notice posted on the bulletin board of the waterfront plant is insufficient, he said.
 M. B. SITUATION
 Goodrich advised the men at the M. B. Co.,, to beware of any vote which might be taken at the request of the Independent" union. All indi- cations, he said, are that the 'Inde- pendent" is dominated by the company, and nowhere has it been found that a company-dominated organization can obtain lasting benefits for employees. "A bona-fide union, under the ex- perienced leadership of the Machinists Union, supported by our Federal laws, is the best guarantee of wage in- creases, good working conditions, and seniority" he said.
 TUBE BENDING
 The same advice was given to the workers at the American Tube Bending Co.,, where the Machinists Union has enrolled practically 1OO% of the workers.
 Goodrich said that the Com pany is still ''stalling," and that he has protested to the NLRB OD this situation.
 Regular meetings are being held with key men in the plant.

Legislation Needed to Place These Firms Under Labor
 Department Control

HARTFORD, Conn.-As the last of this seasons bumper tobacco crol IS being wheeled into drying sheds along the Connecticut River Valley north of this city, charges of 'intol- erable and disgraceful" labor condi- tionS reverberate across the denuded plantations. Following exhaustive in vestigations by Miss Edna Purtell, of the State Labor Department, a drive is under way for legislation to govern the working conditions in this highly industrialized agricultural industry with the pledge:
 "There'll be no Tobacco Road in Connecticut if this department car stop 1t.
 BAD CONDITIONS
 Employment of children under fourteen years of age and bad conditions in dOrmitories where Negro workers lived were the chief complaints, though the re- ports brought in by state inves- tigatOrs covered a much wider field of harvest evils. Long hours, improper supervision and insuf- ficient sanitary provisions that were dangerous to the ''health, morals, safety and general well fare' of the workers were = charged by the Labor Depart ment.
 Although many complaints of mall treatment were filed, the department had no power to act because the tobac- co fields come under farming, the same as hay fields or cowsheds, and every effort to pass laws protecting children engaged in agricultural work has been defeated in the General As sembly.
 COMPLAINTS
 Miss Purten reported com plaints that children as young as nine years were on the fields in Somerville by 4:3O or 5 am. Other complaints included boys being kicked and cuffed by bosses, girls injured in a truck bringing them to work, young children being left to walk miles to their homes after being at work twelve hours, and others be- ing so crowded into trucks that they had to stand up in vehicles without tailbOards.
 In one case forty-six boys were brought from Florida and Georgia and housed in a building the Labor Department calls fire hazard. The Department is seeking ruling from the United States Department of La Dor on the legality of transporting under-age youths in this manner. It was said that in some cases the parents did not know where their children had gone.

 From Universal studios, laotspot In the hilarity sector and site of the hysterical antics of such outstand- ing clowns as Abbott and Costello, olsen and Johnson and others, comes this new comedy drama.
 Boyer and Miss sullavan, hereto fore, noted as two of the foremost opponents of screen spathos in the form of highly romantic and emo- tional drama, turn in marvellous performances in this rAcy, sparkling modern comedy drama.

 set on Broadway and against Manhattan's arresting skyline, "Ap- pointment for Love" presents the Suavely nonchalant Mir. Boyer as an eminently successful playwright who turns his back on cafe society to stage Q merry chase for the hand of chic but wholly professional Miss sullavan, Miss sullavan enacts the role of New York doctor and sur- geon who refuses to permit senti- ment to push scientific theory out of the spotlight.
