 "Our men and women, especially the union people are working with me man to man, and you can't beat that setup." he pointed out. You only hamper 1t by indiscriminate talk
 We are lucky here in having less of some major causes of war ranted absenteeism than other plants have. Crowded buSseS and late trains hurt us some. but noth- ing like how they hurt isolated plants. Besides, we have gone to public service officials to get bet ter service.
 We have relatively few new workers-you have to expect our people on the whole to take it bet ter than people unaccuStomed to sustained production on long hours. We fight fatigue. also. We provide music at peak-fatigue periods, news during the lunch hour, good lunches in the plant, and recreation-even weekly midnight-to-dawn dance for swing -shifters.
 Monday is our bad day for ab- sences, but it always has been. When a mans wife calls me and says he's sick, who am to say whether he has hangover or a touch of ptomaine? do know that we do not have enough of it, what ever it is, to worry about"
 The Joint Labor Management Production Committee. which man. agement says is the chief factor in it's successful execution of schedules ahead of time, consists here of supervisors and CIO union men elected by the whole force. The low absentee Bloomington plant has no union; Harrison has an Em- ployes' Council: Indianapolis has an AFL union; Hollywood has both CIO and AFL unions. All plants have joint production committees. SAW PRODUCTS IN ACTION

 By this time workers here ale ready had seen their products in action and had smelled gunpowder simultaneously.

GOVERNOR MAY
 DROP DANAHER
State Labor Commission. CTS disappointment Fa.
 vOred By COP. Leaders

Hartford. Conn, April l--CuP)- Republican organization leaders favor the reappointment of State Labor Commissioner Cornelius J. Danaher to Q second term, while Gov. Baldwin Is Inclined Co replace him, semt-officlal state capitol sources said today.
 One of the leaders said to be fa- voring Danaher's retention Is State Chairman ]. Kenneth Bradley, Q law partner of Gov. Baldwin.
 Informed sources said the leaders feared that if Danaher were re- placed 1t would create a party split when Q united front was desired preliminary to the forthcoming presidential campaign in loAa. U. S. Sen, John A. Danaher, son of the commissioner, visited the governor last week, presumably to discuss the situation.
 Meantime, discussion over other major appointments reached the nervous stage following reports that Gov. Baldwin, Bradley and former National Committeeman Samuel F. Pryor, Jr,, held long conference over the weekend. There have been reports of Q split between the party organization and Gov. Baldwin, a report given credence because of the Danaher situation and the gover- nor's opposition to restoring the for- feited rights of Harry Mackenzie, Bethel, former Fairfield County Re- publican leader who served a jail term in connection with the Water- bury municipal scandal.
 The leaders were said to be com- mitted to restoration of MacKenZie's rights,
 James B. Lowell, one of the gov- ernor's secretaries, was said to be his first choice for appointment as State Finance Commissioner. The question of where Deputy Comp troller W. Ellery Allyn, Waterford, a candidate for the finance post, fitted in was creating much com ment. Some quarters said he would land the insurance commissioner ship, while others slid he would stay where he was-deputy comp- troller.
 Eugene Loughlin, Greenwich, still was being mentioned for public utilities commissioner, and former State Sen. Frank Simmons, Enfield, was being given consideration for insurance commissioner.
 Sen. Henry Hunt, R., Glastonbury, who has been a candidate for in- surance commissioner, now was be- ing mentioned for appointment as a juvenile court judge in the Hart ford district, replacing Democratic Judge Thomas Gill. Sen, Stanley P. Mead, R., New Canaan, senate ma jority leader, probably will be ape pointed to succeed Judge Max Spell Ike, Stamford, in the Fairfield coun- ty district.

sectarian organization. first organ ized in 1906, is the national service organization for the recreation movement in this country.
 MT. GoSs received recently letter of appreciation from Ambassador Winant. in which he stressed the wartime importance of the National Recreation Association and the recreation movement in this coun- try. "In this war period, MT. Winant wrote, it seems to me that what our national recreation move ment is doing now is essential in our war effort because it contributes to morale and the health and we'll being of the community. I wish every contributor to the association could see as have seen what 1t means to have a going concern in the field of recreation available in a time of emergency like this"

There arc three ways Of iudg-
ing the fishing ability of an angler
without even seeing him wet

and thirdly, by the fishing clothes

According 10 Heddons, who
have made quite a study of fishing

not make bit of difference what
they look like. how they fit,
whether they are shabby or not,
gust one thing is important. They
should be DARK IN color.
There is absolutely no question
but that fish can see the rcflec-

farther than they can dark ones.
and White clothes is "out Of
