 Bristol
 Industrial activities showed de- cided increase during March, due to the fact that the largest industrial concern in the district received a very large defense order and hired practically all of the more capable workers in the active files. Several layoffS which were anticipated in plants working on 1lon-defense pro- auction did not materialize. so that the net gain of additional workers hired was considerably more than 1t had been for several months.
 The local high school is graduat- ing the top members of its class on April 24, and the local office has already registered twenty-eight boys from the technical department of the high school and twenty girls from the commercial course. All of these graduates have already been spoken for.
 Fewer workers from outside the district and outside the state have registered during the past month than at any period for some time. and a number of workers who live in Bristol but who work in the sur- rounding towns have quit their jobs and applied at the ofice, because of transportation difficulties.

Although additional hous- ing projects were announced, the serious shortage in most areas tends to discourage married workers from moving from other states.

 Industrial placement particularly for women gained momentum dur ing the month of March. 1n-plant training for women was inaugural ed in one plant where women had not been previously used. Many in- dustrial plants in this section in- augurated third shift.
 By contrast, two of the largest manufacturing concerns laid of a considerable number of men. This layof was principally due to short tage of materials and not for lack of contracts.
 Unemployment compen a t 1 o n claims decreased approximately 16 per cent over the previous month. New registrations increased ap- proximately 20 per cent over the previous month.
 The 1942 graduates in nine high schools in the district have been registered and tested for aptitudes- mechanical and clerical-and are being interviewed by personnel in the various employment offices, in the city for earmarking purposes.
 TOrrIngton
 The industrial situation in Tor rington has been relatively stable for the past two weeks. No expan- sion seems to be contemplated at the present time, and new hiring Is limited to replacements. The tra1ls- position of many plants from ciYil- ian to war work is enabling a large part of the orderly transfer of labor to be done by the plants themselves
 There was an increase in new reg istrationS and a decrease in renew als as compared with last months figures. New registrations totaled 5i2 and renewals totaled 252 for the month of March. There were S87

Expanding war production was again reflected In sharp factory el1l- ployment increases, particularly great in Hartford, Bridgeport, New London, New Haven and New Bri- tain, 1t was reported today by Leonard J. Maloney, director of the U. s. Employment Service, on the basis of reports received by him from the IS field offices. Firms pre- viously reporting capacity operation continue to establish new capacity standards by completing second and third shifts. securing additional space and equipment, and under taking new construction. Firearms and ammunition, machine tool and accessories, boatbuilding, and air. craft plants are almost without ex- ception employing additional skilled and seini-skilled workers as fast us they can be secured. Conversion of electrical appliance, hardware, and clock companies to war produc- ton promises to result in a con- tinued employment increase. Areas which until now have not felt the impact of the war effort are begin- ming at last to show initiative both in conversion to war work and in obtaining war contracts, noticeably particularly in the Stamford and Ansonia areas.
 Shortage of materials, retooling, and curtailment orders forced some curtailment of employment in cer- tain areas. although most of the workers released were quickly re- called or absorbed into other em- ployment. Copper and brass short age is still a problem in the Nauga- tuck Valley section, and the east ern Connecticut area reported iso- lated layoffs through inability to secure essential chemicals and yarns. Those clock companies which have not yet converted to war production in the Bristol-Wa- terbury section released workers Hartfords typewriter industry will be seriously affected by curtailment of this product, but retooling should easily absorb all released workers by late summer who have not se- cured other employment. Silver plating in Meriden has also been hampered by shortages of steel and nickle.

 I am glad to report that NJ. Lewisohn's counsel has been needed and that leading prison admins trators throughout the country are thinking very seriously about flnd- ing some way to implement the program which he has suggested.
 In the Federal prison system we have succeeded in stepping up, in some cases even beyond expectation, the production of goods required by many government agencies. We have succeeded also in intensifying the industrial and vocational train ing activities and in addition have Let up in our major institutions an employment placement servic e which has succeeded in placing Se- lected cases in war production in- dllStrieS throughout the country.

Program Drafted To Train Inmates
 Of Prisons For War Production Needs
Men Taught in Federal In- stitutiOns Already Aiding
 Industry, Director Says
RY JAMES V. BENNETT


 Director, U. s. Bureau of Prisons
 The Federal government and various states are laying plans to gear the American prison system into the great American war eff fort. This will accomplish double purpose: 1t will help to win the war and it will help to prevent crime by giving prisoners prepara- tion for useful careers after their terms are completed.
 The present programs of me- chanical and technical training in our prisons can readily be eXpand- ed and adapted to turning out trained men for war production needs. Already we have evidence of former inmates contributing valuable services to industry after training in Federal institutions.
 Here is letter one of many received from @ young Italian who was taught the electrical traue at Leavenworth Penitentiary. Now on the job with large electro motive plant in Illinois, he writes:
 ~I start work in the diesel plant of the corporation. I will be an electrician trouble shooter. This puts me to work at trade \ enjoy doing and I hope more young men can be given the same breaks I got. am living an ab- sOlutely different life. l am dO- ing things I enjoy and I'm glad I learnt one thing in those nine teen months. If all the boys back there took to study, they would flnd Q new world at the end of their stays awaiting them."
 1f A Definite Place
 In e recent study of the occu- pational backgrounds of inmates committed to the United States Penitentiary at Leavenworth, it was discovered that approximately 25 per cent of the cases were young men whose mechanical abilities were far superior to the type of jobs and employment they had been forced to float into before they got into difficulties with the law. The problem of training and care~ ful placement becomes more sig nificant as crime preventives when one Is faced with such facts.
 Here Is another letter from a younger boy who recently left our Reformatory at Chillicothe after be- ing trained in the foundry:
 "Well I am working for Q big company in their brass foundry In the ship building division on the West Coast. We make cast lngw varying in size from a few ounces up to 5 tons. That is propeIlers of manganese bronze for battleships. We have Q cOn- tract now for many deStrOyers and cruisers, not counting our re- pair jobs on all types of vessels from battleShipS to freighters. And again I want to thank you for all I was taught. If the other pupils take the same interest as \ did in mOIding or core making or pattern making they have a definite place In this world of tO- day. And they will be well re- paid for their confidence"
 Military experts tell us that fer every man at the fighting front, a dozen or more are needed on the production line at home. There is no denying the fact that this war Is fundamentally at war of produc- ton. We can be confident of the
