Retail Cigar
 Men Affiliate With Council
Senator Geelan Expects Act To Stimulate Growth
 Of Local 961

The New Haven Central Labor Council recently added a second State Senator, James P. Geelan, to its mem bership, when Local 961, Retail Cigar Statesmen for New Haven and vicin- lty, voted to affiliate. The membership IS employed by the Schulte stores in Connecticut which recently renewed its contract for another year.
 Geelan, who is secretary and mana ger, pointed to the state character of the membership as a reason for not afflliating earlier.
 However, we believe affiliation with a central labor union will stimulate our growth. We will be able," he declared, ''to share our problems with the other affiliated crafts. We selected the New Haven body because our union was born in the Elm City"
 OFFICERS
 Present officers of the local in ad- dition to Geelan, include President James J. Harkins of New Britain, First Vice-President Edward McGee Norwich; Second Vice-President Lewis Doris, Bridgeport, and Re cording Secretary Fletcher B. Ter ris of New Haven.

$l-Year Men Condem ned As Lobbyists
Years Investigation Shows History Of 1917-18
 Being Repeated

WASHINGTON-A damning in dictment of the failure of big busi- ness, O.P.M. and the Army and Navy to push Americas war effort Is set forth in the 146-page report of the Truman Committee to the U. S.. Senate.
 After a years investigation, the 1O-man committee headed by Sen. Harry s. Truman O., Mol found that the history of 1917 and 1918 was being repeated.
 Contractors have been placing profits first, their country second (if at all); exorbitant profits and out right graft have been commonplace the swarm of do1lar-a-year men have seen to it that contracts have been limited to the biggest corporations, and written on the companies terms.
 PROFITS SCRAMBLE
 The result of this scramble for profits has been a huge increase i'll the earnings of big corporations, but a pitifu1ly small output of planes and other war implements. Not until the end of 1942 will frst-class fighting planes be produced in quantity, the report said.
 Again and again the committee up held the charges that have been made by union officials and by a small hand full of liberal newspapers and periodi- calls. The report substantiated dozens of Federated Press stories on the apathy and venality of defense con- tractors.
 HICHLICHTS
 Here are some of the highlights of the report:
 l. The 255 dOllar-a-year men and the 63l additional men working without compensation have actu- ally served as lobbyists for private business, which has kept them on its payroll and in some cases even raised their salaries.
 2. The auto industry falsely as- serted last June that only lO% of its tools could be used for plane engines, but quickly changed its story when civilian auto production was banned. The huge task of con- verting auto plants to war produc- ton was ''not even we'll started"
 3. Manufacturers contentious that new taxes eat up profits are disprOved by the experience of General Motors, Chrysler and Ford. For the first nine months of 194l these three made a haul of $780, GOA, ,778, as against only $296, ,O75,- ITS for the entire year 1889.
 HOUSING
 4. Defense housing has been hopelessly bungled, with dozen different agencies dividing author ity and none of them accomplish ing anything significant.
 5. Out of l3 companles studied by the committee, 9 anticipated profits from present contracts that would exceed the 1939 value of their properties.
 A small portion of the report was devoted to criticism of labor, which the senators believed must assume responsibility (along with manage ment) for the meager production of defense articles" The committee ap- parently attached much less impor- tance to strikes than to management obstruction, for it cited only three examples: the soft coal walkout, the Bethlehem west coast dispute, and the Currier lumber case (which did not involve a strike).
