Editor, THE UNION TIMES

Editor, THE UNION TIMES:
 The Bar Lewis" movement in this State, after tearing down emotion and snarls, sentiment and publicity-actu- ally boils down to this: that the Prodigal Son has returned home again.
 It is a mistake for "C.L.U.'s" to take definite action one side or the other, unless first communication and advice has been sought of our Labor Commander -in- Chief-President Will liam Green of the A. F. of L.
 When President Roosevelt vetoed the Smith -Connally Bill, he knew in his heart that he was helping his ad- versary in politics, John L. Lewis. But he knew that Labor as a whole would suffer, and SO he did his con- scientious duty.
 If President Green, a man of prov ed integrity, at this time believes it the wise move to admit Lewis and the miners, we should hold fast with him in faith and trust. Why reverse at this crucial wartime battle on the home Labor front the dictum of Ben jamin Franklin: United we stand ; separated, we fall"
 In keeping with the definition of the proverbial Prodigal Son, I urge the New Haven Central Labor Coun- Gil to gird its Joins and hold fast to truth, time for representation of the facts, giving Brother Lewis his demo- cratic right of se1f-defense before joining the hollow lukewarm and un- timely Bar Lewis" campaign.

' OThisS That
By ROBERT B. BICKEL

ABSENTEEISM IN Congress was rOundIy condemned at the last meeting of the New Haven Central Labor Council. This evil is most prevalent when bills affecting the welfare of labor are up for consid- eratiOn. ''On one day when a very important measure was voted upon, ZO%o of the Senate was missing; if that percentage of workers were ab- sent at Winchester's you would hear an awful howl. There were 3O% ab- sent in the House. If that many stayed out of the High Standard for one day, it would raise terrible stink"
 TWO MORE white hairs were added this week to the toupee of RutLand (Vt.) HeraLd's state editor. A correspondent telephoned to ask if the HeraId would publish notice that the St. Patrick's social in her town was postponed on ac- count of the death of a prominent tOwnsman. Just as she was hanging up, the editor inquired: ''Who's dead?" ''Oh," she replied, it was MT. Blank. ''Did he die today?" asked the editor. ''Oh, yes,' was the reply. He was crushed to death under load of logs.''
 MIGHTY PROUD OF his son. Lieutenant Winfield Scovell, is Er- nest W. Scovell, member of the State County and Municipal Elm ployes and delegate to the Mid dletOwn C.L.U. where he serves as trustee. Young ScOvell has receiv- ed an award of an air raid medal for his work as a navigator of the flying fortress, Memphis Belle'', now in this country after numerous raids over Axis territory.
 DEPARTING FROM the usual. the New Haven Central Labor Coun. cil and Local 18l, Painters, have sent Pres. Roosevelt letters thank. ing him for his veto of the Smith COnnally Bill. The President was beseeched by thousands of tele- grams to turn down the bill, but how many people or organizations thanked him for his favorable re- spOnse? Despite the fact that the anti-labOrites in Congress Over-rode the Smith Connally veto, MT. Roose- welt deserves a vote of thanks for his efforts on behalf of all of us.

OVERALLS
By CONSUMERS UNION

OVERALLS
 OveraIls have to take it. They're under wear and strain each hour of the working day. Therefore, it's particularly important to know quality.
 Consumers Union tested Sl pOpu- lar brands, checking construction, shrinkage and fabric quality. Par ticular attention was paid to pocket construction, endorsements, meth ods of attachment at points of strain, number of stitches per inch in the seams. GU tested the strength and abrasion resistance of the material in each pair. As usual, high price is no guarantee of high quality. One of the most expensive models in the test, the Sweet-Orr 8 oz. denim, selling at $3.39, ranked lower in quality than seven other brands, costing $l.89 to $2.39.
 Among the Best Buys are: Hard Rock ($1.89 9 OF. denim, not the same as Hard Rock listed below), Headlight ($2.39 9 oz. denim), /, Double-Duty ($1.69 9 OF. denim. Not the same as Smiths Double Duty, listed below), The Fair ($1.89 8 OF. denim), Drum Major, Cat. No. 1E4O, Sears Roebuck ($142 plus postage, 8 OF. hickory stripe). Other good quality overalls were: Lee ($2.50 9 oz. denim), Smiths Double Duty ($2.39 7 OF. hickory stripe).
 The following shrank excessively, and there was no allowance in fit to make up for loss in size. They were therefore rated Not Accept able: Bilt-Wen ($l79. 6h oz. hickory stripe), Bilt-welI ($1.79. 7 oz. denim), Hard Rock ($1.49. 6 Oz, hickory stripe). Full ratings of all 3l brands are given in Con- sumner Reports for May.

They are thrifty little people and
great believers In preparedness
They are not at all like happy-go-
lucky Peter Rabbit, and they had
cut private little paths, ever so
many OF them, through the grass
to the places where food was most
plentiful. They had built a snug,
warm nest in the hollow of an old
fallen fence-post quite hidden in a
tangle of long grass. There had
been plenty to eat and they had
grown fat with good living and
knew just where they would find
plenty of food through the long
winter. Decidedly it was very fool
ish of Danny to be discontented,
Nanny told him so.
I'm not discontented," declared
Danny. But the Great World is a
very big place, I am told, and I
want to see little more of it.
We've got as nice a little home as
any one could ask for, but that
isn't any reason that we shouldn't t
have better one, is it? Not that
expect to find better place to live.
I don't. But it would be a lot of
satisfaction to know that there isn't
better place. 1t is very nice feel
ing to know that you have the best
there is, but this is something else
Don't worry, Nanny. I guess I am
old enough and have experience
enough to take care of myself. 1
just can't be perfectly happy until
I have seen something more of the
Great World. You want me to be
perfectly happy, don't you?"
Now what could Nanny say to
that? OF course she wanted Danny
to be perfectly happy. So like the
wise little wife that she is she didn't
say another word against Danny's
going. Sc just hoped with all her
might that at the last minute Danny
would change his mind and decide to
stay at home. But Danny didn't.
No, sir, Danny didn't change his
mind. Perhaps there was some
thing in the air that made him
restless and uneasy. Perhaps with
out knowing it he had a little Of
that feeling which had sent so many
of his summer neighbors hurrying
away to the far away sunny South
land. Anyway, he wanted to 90

Now wouldn't you suppose that
any one so small and timid as Danny
Meadow Mouse and with so many
hungry enemies always watching for
him would be quite content to stay
at home? We rather expect Peter
Rabbit to do unexpected and foolish
things because of his dreadful cur
iosity, but Peter is many times big
ger than Danny Meadow Mouse, and
then, too, he can get over the ground
very fast in time of danger. But
Danny is such little fellow and his
legs are so short that his only
safety is in keeping out Of sight.
So Danny IS the last one we would
expect to set out adventuring, espe-
dally as he Is all the time having
adventures right at home. Why, if
Danny should tell you how many
times he has saved his life by the
skin Of his teeth, as the saying is,
you would wonder that he has any
nerves left. But Danny accepts those
narrow escapes very much as you
and I do our daily food, as just
part of daily experience.
After all, then, perhaps it is not
50 surprising that Danny was pos
sessed Of a great longing to see
more Of the Great World. He ism t
50 very different from the rest of us.
He gets hungry and sleepy just as
you and I do. He works and
he plays just as you and
do. He has aches and pain
and he knows what fear is and
what it is to be happy, just as you
and I do. So why shouldn't the
spirit Of adventure get into Little
Danny Meadow Mouse and make
him want to see more OF the Great
World, just as you and I do? You
see after all Danny has feelings"
Just the same kind of feelings that
you and I have, If he is only little
Meadow Mouse.
Danny and Nanny, his timid little
wife, had had very happy fall.

SOMEWHERE IN NEW GUINEA.
Feb. 18-If somebody will get in
touch with Yves Gallagher, cle OF
the Associated Press correspondents
in North Africa, We would like to
have word with him. We takes
in an entire AGO Boston attack
plane) squadron and yours truly,
who has to act as their spokesman.
On January 2 Mr.. Gallagher wrote
from Africa a story about another
A-20 squadron stationed there which
completed Al raids. The story then
continued:
Forty-one raids says Mai
Kegelman (CharIes C. KegeIman OF
Ell Reno, Okla, the squadron COM
mander). makes this the most ex-
perienced light bomber squadron in
the American Air Force
There are quite few people eager
that these figures from somewhere
in New Guinea should reach Mai
kegelman's bunch somewhere in
North Africa.
This squadron's first mission with
A-20s was in August.
The figures show that where the
African squadron had total of Al
combat missions, this outfit has had
that many in a single month. and
had 40 another month and 80 a
third.
Here is the clincher for Kegelman
and company, though-the squadron
has record through January 81 of
