BY TOM WOLF

BY TOM WOLF (NEA Service Staff Correspondent)
 Hartford, Conn, Oct. 3--Hartford , isn't Hartford any more.
 Spend a day talking to the lead- ing citizens of this town that in- surance jack built, and likely as not you'll never hear It's insurance com panies mentioned. Take trip to a police station in this New Eng land citadel of the homely virtues, and you'll be told of a rising wave of petty crime and drunkenness. What has happened?
 Hartford is wallowing in double defense boom: It is @ three-shifts- a-day manufacturing center in its own right. And 1t is the capital of the state that has more dollars-per- capita of defense orders than any other state in the nation - $305 for its every man. woman and child.
 Connecticut's enviable ledger is not entirely due to luck. Partly through the foresight and planning of state agency, Nutmeg State business has been able to crack some tough defense business prob- lens and get ready for orders.
 GAVE ARMY ORDNANCE
 OFFICIALS FACTORY DATA
 This agency Is the Connecticut Development Commission a sort of glorified state chamber of com merce. Before the defense emerg ency, the Commission spent much of its energy advertising to induce new business to set up shop in Con- necticut.
 When the defense program start- ed, 1t shifted its emphasis to Uncle Sans business. It went to work to place Connecticut's manufacturing house in order, in readiness to catch some of the cash Uncle Sam was shelling out.
 The Commission, during normal years, had surveyed the idle plant equipment in the state in order to have concrete lures to offer business men who might want to move to Connecticut. Now 1t expanded lhLs survey to include all of the states manufacturing facilities.
 The material was assembled and published - l00-page register ct the states facilities for national de- fense procurement. 1ndexed and cross indeXed, the register listed by industries (metal working, rub- Der, plastics, boat building, etc.), the names and addresses of every firm in the state. It gave their present

tor. Aviation, they say, is going to be given Q huge boost by the war. After the war, companies like Pratt & Whitney may be able to keep present payroll peaks, even perhaps expand them, catering to the new industry. This will cushion Hart lords own post-defense letdown to a considerable degree.
 PAYING OFF
 OVERDUE BILLS
 The post-boom letdown may Lot be SO hard here as elsewhere for another reason:
 There seems to be something in the character of the descendants of Pastor Thomas Hooker that keeps them from running hog wild. It is typical that there should have been little silk-shirt buying = for the reason that Hartford stores

procurement agent" A tool maker by profession, shop foreman by experience, he is constantly on tour of the state, shooting at bottle- llecks. From primary contractors he learns their needs of the .no- ment. From potential sub-contrac- tors he learns of their changing fa- cilities for supplying those needs. He puts the primary contractors in touch with scores of possible sec- ondary manufacturers. If the bottleneck is still unbroken, 1t isn't the Commissions fault.
 On top of all this, the Commls- sion borrowed an idea from some of neighboring New Yorks cities that of the defense clinic. Enlarg- ing the idea, Connecticut became the first state to hold 6 statewide clinic -, to which sub-contractors from all over the state came to dis-

 The latest examples of the Com missions alertness Is its forthcoria- ing survey of Connecticut's critical mineral deposits,
 Obviously, many of the Commits sion's projects have been of limited effectiveness. Disappointingly few subcontractors came out of :he statewide defense clinic, for ex- ample. One potential secondary manufacturer left the clinic with but one ribble--ard that for, of all non- defense things, parts for ski tows for a winter sports center. BUSINESS HITS
 ALL-TIME HIGH
 But you don't have to leave here to be convinced of the overall value fo the Commissions plottings and plannings. The city's business Is at an all-time high. The Hartford County Manufacturers Association estimates that 30 per cent of all manufacturers in the country are engaged in defense work of some kind.
 Increased business has skyrocket- ed Hartford manufacturers payrolls. Twice as many men and women are now employed as were even In January, 1929. The resultant acute housing problem has been dealt with in three ways: D three new, permanent, loW-cost housing proj- ects; 9 Q project of 1901 units at present available only to men llnd women employed in one of list of 40-odd defense industries; 3 & strictly temporary FSA-sponsored housing project to be torn down at boor's end.
 This project, one of the first of it's kind to be completed, consists of six dormitories, housing 400 single men, and 50 one-family houses and 50 two-family houses. A typical dormitory is thin-walled, with linoleun1 floors, two beds, bur- eaus, and lockers in each room, with central showers, toilets and com- mon rooms.
 There is no one who will predict whether the permanent projects may form the nucleus of Q ghost town after the boom. The general opinion Is that if they do, 1t win be an extremely well-built one.
 Comparatively few people are thinking of the post-boom situation here. Those who have thought about 1t point out one hopeful fac-

never bothered to stock them.
 Retail merchants here note With approval that some increased busi' ness is represented by the paying of of long due accounts. Increased sales are by and large not going into luxury items, Furniture and mems clothing are getting the heaviest boom. Workers seem 10 be saving some money; sending some money home. Postal money orders are at all time high.
 Even the crime and drunkenness are only indirectly due to the boom, Most of the crime has been at. tributed not to the workers but to fioaters trying to pick pockets dangling with defense cash. And the drunks are panhandlers who find newly-rich workmen an easy touch,
