Associated Press
Starts Wide World
Feature Service
Organization to Provide
Papers With interpretive
Articles and Pictures

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK. Dec. 3.-A separate
news and photo service for Asso-
ciated Press members. providing
new approaches TO the worlds news
and pictures. independent OF the
regular A. P. approach, was estab-
liShed today with the announcement
that the Special News Service of the
Associated Press would take the
name of Wide World and be asso-
ciGted with Wide World Photos. Inc.
Kent Cooper, general manager of
the Associated Press. conceived the
plan IL years ago. At that time a
special service-dealing in behind
theneWs reporting interpretive and
BACKGROUND matter. personality
profiles Of individuals figuring in
news Developments and various
columns End other features-was
starting for Sunday leased wire A.
P members.
Then, two years ago. MI. Cooper
expanded the Special News Service
10 supply similar and other informa-
ton to both morning and evening
dailies on A. P. leased wires
Bought Photo Service.
In August of this year. the Asso-
ciated Press bought the long estab-
lished Wide World Photos. Inc,
from the New York Times. In an
nouncing today that Wide World
would take the place Of the Special
News Service and that Wide World
Photos, Inc, would illustrate its
stories, M. Cooper said the step
was part of broad plan for further
improvement of both services and
the regular A. P. neWsphoto service.
In these turbulent DAYS of war.
with revolutionary social. political
and economic events croWding rap
idly upon each other, newspapers
are confronted with a greater and
more difficult responsibility" he
said.
This is why Wide World has been
steadily expanded Not only must
the spot news be covered accurate
lv and quickly by the Associated
Press. but the significance must be
explained TO millions of readers.
This latter will be the field of Wide
World.
Great Combination"
The Associated Press regular
news service and the Special News
Service, which now becomes Wide
World, have formed a great COM
bination. There is no duplication
and there is everything as to read
ing matter that a newspaper needs
in the way of press association out
put, with the advantage of selec-
ton
The A. P. NeWSphoto Service and
Wide World Photos form an equally
great combination in that they
eventually will eliminate all dupl-
cation in pictures and give every
thing in photos that newspapers
need aside from local coverage re-
quirementS."
Among the Wide World bvlines
appearing in The Star are Dewitt
Mackenzie. who interprets the war
news, Howard w. Blakeslee. science
editor; Devon Francis. aviation edi-
tor. Paul GeSner and John Beckley,

Government employees desiring to
know their status under the Rams
peck Act we're advised today by
the Civil Service Commission to

individual requests for information.
Under the terms of the act. it is
mandatory that employees be recon-
mended for civil service status by
employing agencies.

Expect to Push Record of Membership to AL
 Time High

WASHINCTON-Launchingo of a new organizing drive to push AFL membership, now at an all- time high, to new peak is an- nounced by the AFL.
 ORGANIZERS MEET
 More than 200 Federation organ izers met in the AFL building, it was stated, to lay plans for the new cam paign. Special efforts will be di- rected'' at aviation, shipyards, chemi- cal plants, rubber and textiles" the announcement said.
 President William Green, opening the session, stressed the importance of cooperating with the government in maintaining uninterrupted production in defense industries.
 George Meany, secretary-treasurer the AFL, told the organizers that in building new unions they must teach the new members discipline and em- ploy negotiation, conciliation and mediation before taking strike action.
 COORDINATE PLANS
 AFL organization director Frank Fenton told of the need of co-ordinating the new drive with the efforts of ''mOre than 2,OOO organizers employed by national and international unions.''

Seven Gables And 4O4 Sign Contract

A closed shop contract calling for wage increases from $2.5O week for walters to $7.50 a week for captains and head walters has just been signed by the Seven Gables Inn, Inc, in Milford on the Boston Post Road, and Local 404, New Haven, of the Hotel and Restaurant Employees Interna- tional Alliance. Harold V. Feinmark President of the Central Labor Coun- Gil and secretary-treasurer and busi- ness manager of the Local, signed for the employees, with Leonard J. Castillo affixing his signature for the Inn.
 The rate for extras was set at $4.OO. Regular walters working more than 9 hours are to be paid overtime. The contract runs for one year.

Council to Act On
 OwnershipLeague

The Central Labor Council is to act on State Senator Joseph T. Rourke's recommendation that the Council seek afi1iation with the Public Ownership League of America, at its current reg ular meeting.
 Rourke has indicated that the rec ommendation was suggested by the water situation here in New Haven. He believes such action on the part of the Council would have a restraining effect on those public utilities who might attempt to abuse their monopo- listic privileges.
 Besides, a body in the city acting together with the Public Ownership League of America, could create reference library which would en- tighten the public on the vital prob lerhs concerning public utilities.

6 Firms Now Receive Bulk Of Contracts
Concentration Blamed For Inability of Six Million
 To Get Jobs

A number of reasons why the defense program is not making greater progress were disclosed this week in an astOnishingly frank statement by the Office of Production Management.
 The first important disclosure wa: that defense appropriations and auth orizations have reached new higf figure of $5O,785,OO0,0OO, to which Congress will soon add nearly $oOOO,- 100000.
 But, of the half hundred billions made available, only $9,83o,0O0,0OO, or about 20 per cent, had been placed under contract at the beginning oi June.
 FEW ssHOC" BUSINESS
 And of the contracts awarded, al most three-fourths were allotted tc 56 corporations. The balance was di- vided among several thousand con- tractors.
 Even more surprising is the dis closure that one-third of all contracts have gone to six concerns-Bethle- hem Steel, New York Shipbuilding General Motors, Curtiss- Wright Newport News Shipbuilding and the duPonts, whose combined orders ag- gregate $3,O75,OOO0OO.
 The concentration of defense con- tracts into relatively few hands, ii was indicated, not only limits produc- tion to the capacity of their plants, but it has also created staggering housing and other social problems.
 Likewise, it is mainly responsible for the fact that there are still some thing in excess, of 6,00O,000 jobless workers, most of whom reside in com munities where defense has been more Of detrlment than help.
 Some of the big contractors, it was explained, have Harmed out" a part of their work, but mainly to regular suppliers.
 NAM. SURVEY
 The National Association of Manufacturers recently conduct ed survey which, it said, re- vealed that more than 10000 manufacturers, equipped to pro- duce defense materials, have been unable to obtain any con- sideration from the government or from the fortunate few con- cerns which have been able to sshog" the defense business.
