Continued from Page One) (5) The constant talk and mounting pressure for a second front in western Europe make it more imperative than ever that our Army and Navy leadership be correlated under single command. (6) The President has been pretty vague about just what Admiral Leahys duties are to be, but made it pretty clear, by inference, that the Admiral would do the leg work which will determine the Presi- in gathering the facts and figures dents decisions as to our strategic moves.
 Give those six points a second thought and the conclusions must be that there is something more in the wind than the mere desig- nation of Presidential leg man. The Army and Navy have chiefs of staff, but when the commander in-chief of BOTH forces appoints one of his own and when that man has the well-earned reputation and respect that Admiral Leahy has, you can be certain that he is some thing more than just another "liai- son officer"
 Washington opinion generally is that no matter what the real req son, the President could have done no better than pick lean, leathery- faced, 67-year-old Admiral Leahy for the job. j.
 An Annapolis man, Admiral Leahy has record of 46 years in the Navy, couple more as gover- nor of Puerto Rico and a year as ambassador to Unoccupied France a post that demanded much more than just good diplomat and one which, by all reports, he filled to complete satisfaction of those who have guided our foreign policies m these difficult times.
 Heavy -browed, balding, and gruff, the Admiral is every inch a sea- dog. His friends most frequently describe him, however, by such phrases as cold logician, master of detail, organizational genius"
 If Admiral Leahy's conclusions and decsions do have any bearing on Army activity, it will be one of those ironies. When, as a Hamp- ton, Iowa, lad finishing high school, he had decided on his career, he tried to get into West Point. He couldn't. There was no opening. Annapolis and the Navy were his second choice.

Compensation Won
For Typhoid Victims

MANTENO, Ill.-A 3-year fight
by the Illinois Federation of Labor
came to successful conclusion when
the State Supreme Court reversed an
earlier decision and approved COM
pensation for workers who caught
typhoid fever while working at the
Illinois State Hospital here.
Ruling that the typhoid victims
were as much entitled to accident
compensation as person injured by
a fall or some other mishap the court
made its award in the cases of Mrs.
Harold G. Brown, whose husband
died of the disease, and Edward A.
St. Peter, who was disabled by it.
The decision means that 100000
will be paid them and IS others en-
ployed by the hospital and the Perma-
nent Construction Co., which erected
buildings on the hospital grounds in
1899.

WASHINGTON, d. The
American Federation of Labor and
the U.S.O. joined in saIuting the
entertainment unions of the AFL
on the Labor For Victory" pro-
gram for their splendid work in
providing free entertainment for
Americas soldiers and sailors. The
show starred Lansing Hatfield,
young Metropolitan Opera bari
tone.
Lawrence Phillips, Executive Vice
President of U.S.O. Camp Shows,
said his organization has given more
than 5000 separate performances, en-
Pertaining more than 5,500,O0O SOL
diers, sailors, marines and coast
guardsmen, since June l, 1941.
Asked how the entertainment unions
of the AFL have figured in this pro-
gram, he said:
II can't speak too highly of the
great cooperation which we have
received from these unions and
their members. 1t is an inspiring
thing to find working men and wo.
men SO eager and ready to donate
their time to this important ser.
vice for our men in uniform.

STOP THOSE PUNCTUREs

"Whereas such tactics are in reality
a method of forcing the adninistra-
ton to introduce wage controls by
allowing price ceilings to be pune
tured and placing the blame upon
labor for the rising cost of living,
''Be 1t Resolved Therefore, that
the New Haven Central Labor
Council, in regular meeting assem-
bled call upon its Representatives to
act so that the Price Control Act
be rigidly enforced i'm order that
the cost of living will not rise and
the threat of initiation be elm
mated. Be 1t Further Resolved,
that sufficient funds be allocated
i'm order that the Price Control Act
may be properly administered in
accordance with the plans set forth
by President Roosevelt.
BE It Finally Resolved, that the
N. H. Central Labor Council also
goes on record as being firmly op-
posed to any attempt to freeze wages

ference whatsoever by the Office of

ALL UNIONS HELP

"Mr. Hatfield, for instance, is a
member of three guilds-Actors
Equity, the American Guild of Musi-
cal Artists and the American Fedora
ton of Radio Artists. All these unions
have supplied us with many top-notch
artists. The American Federation of
Radio Artists has given us the cream
of radio entertainers. Actors Equity
has come through with stars of the
dramatic stage. The Screen Actors
Guild has marched a steady procession
of movie stars into our camp shows.
The American Federation of Musi-
clans has permitted us to use big name
bands.

Future Priests
Organize Coop

COLLEGEVILLE, MINI. : Here
is something entirely new under the
consumer cooperative sum-
Seminarians who are preparing
themselves for the priesthood at St.
Johns College have organized the St.
Johns Seminary Cooperative to
serve themselves with seminarian
supplies.
St. Johns College is one of those
Ravens of retreat where young men
prepare for a life of service in the
Catholic Church.
Some men who had preliminary
work at St. Francis Xevier Univer-
sity, Antagonist, Nova Scotia, are
students here and they have spread
the cooperative gospel, although CO.
operation was being taught and
preached here long before Antigonish
was recognized as cooperative
force.
Here was stationed the great Vir-
gil Michel, who died few years ago,
but who had become recognized as
one of the great philosophers of the
Catholic Church and one of the
strongest advocates of the cooper
alive movement.
Included in the bylaws of this new
cooperative is a provision that the
society shall offer the Holy Sacrifice
of the Mass for the special guidance
and assistance of the leaders of the
Cooperative Movement in America
on or about May IS each year.

Fire Board Will Make
Promotion Today
One Private Will Be Advanced to Lieutenant; Seven
New Privates to Be Named-Bring Depart
rnent to Full Strength

The fire board, at an adjourned
meeting late today, was scheduled
to promote one fire department pri-
vate to the rank of lieutenant and
to appoint seven new privates. The
appointments would bring the de-
partment personnel up to its full
strength allowed under the city
charter.
City hall circles predicted that
the new lieutenant would be Private
James A. Moran, of SIS State street,
graduate of the civilian defense
school at Edgewood arsenal, Mary
land, and a member of the depart
ment for almost 81 years.
Slated for appointment as pri-
Yates were: Dennis Keane of Keefe
street; James Salvatore of Riverside
street, Michael Wallace of Bridge
street; William Murray, of Walnut
street; and John Apples" Murphy
of Ayers street. 1t was reported
that no decision on the other APP
pointments had been reached.
All those named, except Murphy
are married, IN line with the boards
policy of not appointing any men
who might soon be called to military
service. Murphy is understood to
be in a deferred classification.
The meeting today was called
by Chairman Firton j. Phelan, who
was empowered by the board at q
regular meeting Wednesday to cal
the board into SESSION on his call
Private Moran, as a lieutenant
will replace Lieut.. Edward j. Con-
