 Surveys, conducted in recent months by state and federal agri- cultural agencies in collaboration with the New England council, show that farm operations in this section are threatened with clirtailment unless the labor situatoin improves. With planting now under way and harvesting only q few months or farm owners are even more worried about the unavailability Of seasonal help than about the loss of regular help, which many Of them haVxe already sustained.
 Farm wages are moving upward, according 10 the council and hil% wage regions appear to be losing slightly fewer men. Every county surveyed reports . growing shortage of agricultural labor
 h the face Of this dilemma the Vermont extension service Is urging farmers to buy labor-Saying ma chincry, to farm their land intens- iyely, and 10 give up crops which compete for seasonal labor.

The invasion has been on the march since Herr Hitler turned the Four HoHgemen loose in the British Vanity Fair and continental playgrounds of the rich and nobility. Hitler kicked the crowns and Scepters into q scrap heap, and the ruling class, fearing more rough handling, have followed the trail set by the Pilgrims of the MayhoWer, and headed for the tall timbers around Washington, D.

 Some time ago MT. Johnson claimed that the city's chief eXecu- tive had "one eye on politics all the time" to which Mayor Scully rejoined that 1t was obvious to him that MT, Johnson had both eyes on politics all the time.

 He also claimed that Republicans in the Legislature weren't getting any credit for passage of the city's trade school bill, but that the two Democratic senators were claiming this and that Senator Edward r, Egan was being hailed as the one man responsible for passage.
 Democratic spokesmen today pointed out that Republican pres sure from party headquarters had acqutally held up passage of the bill on this score until such Repub- lican legislators as Representative Joseph R, Nell of Watertown as well as prominent Republican man. ufacturerS In the Naugatuck Val-
