SURPRISE WITNESSES

Surprise witnesses this week just before the hearings ended, included Harold " Feinmark, president of the New Haven Central Labor Council, and Joseph s. Whiteside, IT,, execu- tive secretary to the Manufacturers Association of New Haven and sec retary of the Metal Trades Associa- ton of Southern Connecticut. Fein- mark was called by N.L.R.B. Attor- ney Richard L. Hickey, while Trial Examiner Thomas s. Wilson placed Whiteside on the stand.
 Feinmark testified that the com pany offered Stuart, after his dis missal, a $50 check and a recom- mendation, both of which Stuart re- jected. This evidence was offered to prove the man had been fired for un- ion activity. Stuart had testified that several days before May 19 last he received permission from William Devins, foreman, to go home to his wife who was confined The following day the guard told him he had to go to the office and took away his iden- tihcation card. He found Rollin Nett Ter in Fly Lands Tavern and got per- mission to resume work He was fired four days later following Machin. ists Union meeting of Mettler em- ployes where he was chairman.
 WHITESIDE TESTIFIES Whiteside testified that he hadn't consulted an attorney before advising Mettler Bros. on holding meeting of the employees on company property But he did advise the brothers not to let the company union have use of the property for the purposes of building the Independent" The brothers ad- vised him it was too late, the "Inde- pendent had already been promised such use.
 The LAM. and the company each have until Feb. 9 to submit briefs. r The unions charges against the American Tube Bending Manufac. turing Company have already been upheld by Fillmore M. Herrick, di. rector of the Second Region of the N.L.R.B. The LAM. seeks to have the election annulled and voided on charges of interference by the man. agement.

Defense Blood
 Donors Sought

With a view to setting up reserve of blood plasma for use in New Ha- ven in the event of mass casualties of whatever sort, a call has been is- sued for 5000 volunteer blood donors to give a pint of blood The Civilian Defense Council, the three public hos pitals and the New Haven Red Cross are cooperating in this program and are working through a Blood Donor Committee, headed by Dr. Orville Rogers, director of the Yale Univers- ity Health Department.
 People wishing to give their blood to help fill the plasma bank may call the New Haven Hospital, the Hos pital of St. Raphael's, or Grace Hos pital for an appointment The period of donation has been set to extend through Feb. 7 during which time it is hoped the 5000 pints will be obtained.

 TOTAL WAR
 ''This is total war and our total resources are behind it," Tobin said. ''This includes men as well as money. We have accumulated substantial funds in our treasury to protect the members of the union in emergency.
 ''This is the greatest emergency they ever faced, and our money is being poured out to meet it. If we lose this war, we will lose all our money along with all our demo- cratic rights and privileges. It is worth every nickel we have to pre- serve our iberties.''

 Negotiations with the Mitchell and Poland dairies, which were broken off last week, have been resumed on the invitation from the dairies following strike vote taken by the member ship of Local 1o1, Bridgeport and New Haven Driver Statesmen.
 At a special meeting Sunday, the membership empowered the executive board to take all necessary steps to insure the successful completion of present negotiations. The executive board has communicated with John J. Egan, secretary-treasurer of the Con- necticut Federation of Labor, and with the International executive board, both of whom will be called in before any strike action is taken.
 With the resumption of negotia- tions, however, both sides now expect favorable settlement.

Bridgeport Is New England War Capitol
New Haven Employment Prospects Considered
 Not So Good

There will be a rise in employ ment in Connecticut following fur ther conversion of industries for the production of war commodities, with Bridgeport fast becoming the capital of New England's defense status. The outlook for New Ha- ven, however, is growing unem- pIoyment with further shutdOwns unless contracts and sub-contracts are deflected to Elm City plants now suffering from priorities. That's the outlook as seen by the Connecticut Department of Unem- ployment Compensation.
 JUG. CLAIMS UP
 The downward trend in Connecti- cut employment reflected in 379o rise III unemployment compensation claims in December, is temporary trend brought about in the main by industry's transition to a war econ omy. Other trends point to more wo- men in industry and the gradual aban- doning of layoff schedules by plants receiving war orders.
 A marked step-up in all lines of industry excepting construction work Is a feature of the employment pic ture in Bridgeport, with the opposite situation in New Haven where two rubber plants have partially shut down. The Hartford picture is good, with Danbury barely holding its own.
 BRIDGEPORT CLIMBING
 The Park City is rapidly becoming New England's industrial giant with plants shifting to seven-day, 24-hour operation. Connecticut migration has dropped but what migration there is, Is falling into Bridgeport's lap. The city is also picking up Danbury's $ slack. The majority of the migrants are from New York City. Bridgeport has the beacon light out for skilled workers. As the New Year began, 65,000 industrial workers were en- ployed in the area with an average work week of 45.o hours.
 NEW HAVEN
 The number of New Haven un- employed is growing. Future hiring will depend in large measure upon the success of most plants in ob. 1aining additional war contracts or on the lifting of restrictions on the use of certain raw materials.
 Activity has increased in Hart. ford during recent weeks due to the transfer from two to three shifts in three plants calling for an increased number of workers. both male and female. Skilled men are still scarce but the market for train. ees has improved, with heavy de. mands for 18-year-old boys to re. place inducted or enlisted men. One large concern is planning to replace all male office personnel with wo. men. Plants are reported to be un. able to take trained but inexperi. enced applicants due to a shortage of supervisory help to work with chem.
 Waterbury has taken the lead ir the employment of women with a new shift from II PM. to 7 AM. author ized in one defense plant. Women wanted only for that shift.
 NEW LONDON
 New London will soon be the ter minus for Connecticut's unemployed The Electric Boat Company at Grotor has taken over the old Groton Iron Works for additional ship building facilities and will need 5000 addition al workers. Of the 5000, 5000 are sought among skilled workers 1T building and metal trades. Training facilities for machine operation an6 arc welding are already being con-

| carefully.
How will the people of the have
not nations be given 'an opportunity
to participate in the undeveloped re
sources of this world" outside of a
free worldwide exchange of goods
and services and outside of the
sweet practices of Imperialism? That
| is the question we raise; and we in
| tend in the following discussion to
show that to interject into this pro-
gram point six is to nullify either
point three or four, or to raise con-
fusions concerning them.
First of all the very context of the
entire idea of "have-not' and have"
nations is that of imperialist relation
ships between nations. In a demo
cratic world of equality between peo-
pies and nations-which itself must
exclude the concept of Imperialism
there are no, and can be no have
not" and "have" relationships in the
sense in which those expressions
came to be used, and are here used.
The expression "have-not nations"
was coined in connection with those
nations that in World War | were de-
feated in their struggle for imperial
list status, and hence in the postwar
era they found themselves outside the
pale of imperialist privilege in pos
sessing colonies to exploit. Hence
they were "have-nots. They are now
again seeking through armed violence
to establish their domination over
other peoples and their power to ex-
plot them According to our plans,
according to our war aims, they shall
not succeed in this. Hence, when
this war is won, they shall still be
'have-not' nations. Now, whether we
think of these particular nations or
whether we think of these and others
among them as "have-nots,' where are
the undeveloped resources of this
world in which the have-nots may
participate? After all, the undevel-
oped resources of this world are not
an unmined pot of gold beyond the
horizon of known nations. To the ex-
tent that there are undeveloped re-
sources left, they are the heritage
and the rightful possession of the peo-
pie of the nation in which those re-
sources are found They are thus
subject to the employment and use of
others outside of that nation, demo
cratically only on the basis of a free
exchange of goods and services; or
imperialistically through the force of
strong power imposing its will upon
weaker nation through the exploita
ton of the people and their natural
resources.
But let us be concrete. Do we, the
United States, possess any undevel-
oped resources to which we are will
