Conn. Leads New England In Production
States War Orders Half Of Regions 1O-Billion
 Dollar Total

Connecticut war supply contracts have reached a cumulative total of $4, ,785, ,949, ,OOO or almost half the total of $9, ,786, ,668, ,OOO for the six New England States, according to Walter H. Wheeler, Jr., regional di- rector of the War Production Board.
 These figures, just released by the W.P.B., cover the period of June, 1940, to March this year, but do not include the $1, 121,853,0OO sum assign ed to New England for plant con struction of the Army, Navy, Mari time Commission, Treasury and for eign purchasing missions.
 New England is turning out lO.3 per cent of the munitiOn of war but has received only 4.8 per cent of new U. s. facility contracts which cover new projects and plants both publicly and privately financed.
 New England's traditional self re- liance and ability to do much with little is plainly evident here, for our region has taken on more than one tenth of Americas war production while receiving less than ne-twentieth of the country's new plant facilities" asserted Wheeler.
 Connecticut has undertaken 9O.6 per cent of all New England's air craft contracts in that classification, with $2, ,44O, ,355, ,OOO of the regional total. Connecticut now has taken on 7.7 per cent of the cOuntry's air craft contracts and ranks fifth among the states in that class of production, led by California, New York, Michigan and New Jersey in that order, he stated.
 He also explained that the sscut- ting back" in production schedules, reported by a number of industries in recent weeks, did not reflect a permanent, overall curtailment of war production in New England, or in the country at large, but rather indicated shift in emphasis from some types of war equipment to others.
 But, he cautioned, I've are in a difficult period of transition, during which the restrictions imposed by cur tailed allotments of materials for com bat and general supply items must in- evltably be felt-and severely in some some cases-before the compensating effects of the expanded transport pro, ductlon program can be felt in terms Of new contracts and a11Otn1entS of materials.

Arbitration Is Suggested To Avoid Strikes
WLB Says This Method Can Prevent Unneces-
 sary Delay

WASHINGTON - Employers and unions were urged by the Natl. War Labor Board this week to set up ma chinery for arbitration of unsettled grievances to avoid any breach in the labor-industry no-strike, no-1ockout pledge.
 WLB chairman William H. Da- wis said that grievances had increas- ed both in number and in tension of late, and added that the section of the Smith-C -ConnalIy ''anti-strike'' law authorizing strike votes after a 3O-day period was ca disturbing in- huence on the nO-strike, nO-lOck- out agreement"
 The Board suggested that an arbi- trator, impartial chairman or umpire whose word would be final be appoint ed under terms and conditions agreed to by both parties, preventing un- necessary delay in handling con- plaints.

They Pay 75c;; New Haven Pays $l.3l

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.- Cheap electric power, first in trOduced as New Deal meas ure through the Tennessee Valley Authority, is paying off.
 Started as a "yardstick," to measure the costs and possible rates to the, consumer under pub lic-owned power compared with the traditional monopoly control of private utility companies, IVA is well past the experiment tai stage.
 The Federal Power Commission, in a report this week, announced that of the cities of the United States, of more than 5O,OOO pOpula- ton, the three with the lowest rate for tn consumer were all IVA served: Chattanooga, Knoxville and Nashville, Tenn.
 Identical billings of 75 cents for the first 25 kilowatt hours consumed by residential users is enjoyed in each of the cities-and the local pub lie power companies that retail IVA current still make money even under the cheap rates. The U. s. average is $1.33.
 Next lowest rate in the nation IS in Birmingham, Ala, where the pri- vately owned Alabama Power Com pany has been forced to cut its rates to 81 cents because of its fear of a spreading IVA system.
 Louisville, Ky, is fifth in the na- tional standings, with 88 cents for the first 25 k.w. hours and Houston ranks sixth at 96 cents. Other cities, with figures based on charges for residential consumers for the first 25 k.w. hours are: Raleigh, N. c., $l; Dallas, Tex, $l.O6; MOntgOm- cry, Ala, $1.2O; New Haven and Bridgeport, Conn.,, $l.3l; Colum- bia, s. C., $l.44; Savannah, Ca, $l.45; Atlanta, $l.45; New Or leans, La, $l.5O; Hartford, $l.75; and Miami, Fla, $l.78.
 Rate reductions were made i'll 37 cities above 5O,O0O population in l94l, and in Y cities during 1942, while there were increases in only three cities in 1042.
