Purpose of Control
The War Manpower Commission,
IN statement to THE UNION Times
this week, estimated that the man
power control plan will be in effect
IN Connecticut not later than in the
next three months. and probably
earlier. The purposes of manpower
control in these Connecticut cities,
the Commission says, is:
81. To protect war production
from the disruption caused by
employers pirating skilled work
ers from each other or by
workers leaving one job to seek
the higher wages offered by an
other, while at the same time
providing means by which work
ers can change jobs if the change
will help the war effort.
so. To enable each war plant
to make the best use of the
workers available, and to enable
workers to use their highest
skills.
So. To stop needless infiuxes
of workers TO areas where trans
pOrtatiOn, housing and health
facilities are already taxed to the
breaking point.
~. To provide adequate re-
cruiting, training and upgrad-
ing programs for workers in
every area"
How Plan Will Work
The first step in each community
will be the appointment of an area
director to represent the commission.
This director will then organize a
committee of recognized leaders of
labor and industry in the community.
This Area War Manpower Commit
tee will meet and draw up a program
for stabilizing employment according
to local needs.

Now It Begins

Governor Raymond E. Baldwin had better send word to his keymen in the Legislature that this is to be a session of accomplishment in worthwhile things, not picayune ones. Take, for example, that rebuff handed State Senator Leon RiS CaSSi, Democrat, of Hartford last week. He had been selected Democratic leader in a possession caucus, defeating Senator Albert L. Coles, Democrat, of Bridgeport, who held the position two years ago. Normally this would have as- Sured the Hartford Democrat of place on the Judiciary Committee.
 But when assignments were read out in the Senate, To and behold, the Judici- ary Committee post had been given to Senator Coles. Democratic State Chair John M Dove charges Republicans broke man John M. Dove charges Republicans broke confidence in doing this. The Dem- ocratS had presented their assignment re- quests prior to the session and were to be notified if any changes were made. No such announcement was forthcoming un- til the committees were read off the Sen- ator Ris CasSi had been passed over on the all-important Judiciary Committee.
 It doesn't make much difference what cause, if any, Republicans offer for mak ing the change. And it really doesn't make much difference what Democrats say about this. Republicans rule the rooSt at Hartford. They apparently in- tend to dominate it, war or no war. It's good start and good indication that time and events have failed to change the Connecticut Republican Partys spots.

cisely the right moment He would return agfain to judge the world, to transform It's life. to rec ceiye His own unto Himself. He urged men always to be ready, for m an hour when they least expected Him. He would come.
 The New Testament Is filled with such assurances. And the digposi- ton Of the great mass Of Christians today to think nothing at all about the second coming. Is even more Iinwholesome and un-Biblical than the disposition of certain believers t0 think and talk about nothing else. We need remember that al- most the last thing our Lord did before ascending to heaven was to assEse Ills followers in this regard We waste our time when We try to anticipate the Lords schedule, but we make on even greaeeF mis- take when we miss the plain New Testament seachlng that Christ will return suddenly, at a moment known only to God Himself. and that those who are not ready win bitterly re- gret their lack Of forethoueht and faith.

Snapshots For Victory

Now that limitations are forcing anna teur photographers to cut down on new pictures, this is good time to dig out the negatives of all the trips you may have taken to Europe, Asia, Africa or the Far East - make up prints and send them to the Pictorial Records Division of the Office of Strategic Services in Washington.
 The armed services need such pie lures to fit into detailed maps which may save the lives of hundreds of Americans as we attack the Axis in new places. Any picture, including purchased postcards, may help if it shows an industrial install lation, airf1eld, highway, dock, harbor, coastline, beach, canal or river.

Mac Nance had an idea in 1940 and sold it to Uncle Sam, as a result of which he became head of the U S. Travel Bureau, with $100,0O0 budget and, at one time, 132 employees.
 Then came the war; and travel was out. First MacNamee recommended a 90 per cent cut in his budget. Now he has sug gested that his brain child-and his job be discontinued. Did you ever hear the like, before?

A New York policeman arrested a World War veteran for sitting on a park bench and criticizing President Roose- welt and the conduct of the war to another man in private conversation. magis- trate sentenced the offender to 30 days in the workhouse The appeals court reversed the conviction. That is good news. It proves that we still have the free speech for which, among other free doms, we are fighting. So long as we are loyal to the United States and do not assist her enemies, we still are privileged to express our dissatisfaction with our hired men in public office and with the way they are carrying out our instruc- tions to beat Hitler We don't even have to be right. We have merely to be honest, patriotic and orderly. Which is as it should be.

'Tf this is the kind of place this is," exclaimed one irate woe man, "Pm moving"
 "By all means, Madame" re- piled Hoover, "but not until tomorrow"
 THE ZERO HOUR
 No one was allowed to leave the apartment house until morning. The G-men wanted no word to get to the other gangsters. Mean- while a midnight broadcast rec ported that two of the Touhy gangsters had been killed. The G-nen held their breath for fear Touty had bis radio on, but he was asleep. N
 Meanwhile, a blackboard talk had been given at headquarters on the detailed strategy for taking the next apartment. Squad leaders were in charge of cars, lights, l0udspeaker, hand cuffs, ambulance, and different streets.
 The plan was to wait for the zero hour of a. m. Meanwhile, Hoover and three others planted machine guns behind barricade o: mattresses, immediately oppo- site Touhy's door.
 All watches were set by Ob- servatcry time. At exactly one minute of five, G-men, with searchlights attached to storage batteries, placed them on the street and focused them on the gangsters' apartment. Then the loud speaker called out for the gangsters to surrender, Bang hart first" because he was con- sidered the most dangerous.
 After ten minutes a thin scared voice said: "I'm coming out. Wait till I get my OvercOat On."
 Come without your OvercOat. and make sure there are no guns in your pockets" was the reply.
 Bankhart came. Hoover grab- bed him. As the gangster turned, he recognized the G-man chief and said: "I make you out from your picture"
 HOOVER'S ORGANIZATION
 Then came Touhy and Darlak. As they lay handcuffed and shack led on the mattresses, Hoover re- marked to the 44-year old Touhy. in red pajamas and peroxide hair: "What do you think of your self nOw?"
 No answer.
 "He ain't saying, B0ss," spoke up Banghart, ''but I can tell you what he thinks. He's thinking as Fibber Magee said to Molly the other night: Tt ain't funny any mOre.'
 As Banghart shuffled into the freight elevator at the police sta- ton. he looked down at his shack les and remarked to Hoover:
 "Ten years ago you couldn't have done this to me. But, Boss -and the thin-voiced gangster who had escaped from more jails than he can remember looked up almost admiringly at Hoover you got an organization now."
 He has.

Motorists have been slow about having their tires checked. At the halfway mark December 31 less than one out of four had complied This has piled a tremendous burden upon the inspection stations for this month. The OPA says flatly that neither gasoline ration books nor tire replacementS will be issued in future to those who do not have their tires inspected by the end of February. There is going to be grand rush in the last few days. Nobody who has waited this long is wise - but only the really foolish will delay longer. Better have those tires checked today. But perhaps you won't even bother about it with the new pleasure driving" edict.

"WhO was warden of Atlanta
 when you skipped, Basil?'
 The gangster mentioned a name, then corrected himself with another name. "NO," he added, cit wasn't either one of them. You know, BOSs," he smiled at Hoover, '1've been in so many jugs just can't remember who the wardens were anymore"
 Then Banghart volunteered this information:
 "YOu know, Boss, there are
 two kinds of wardenS. There are
 the guys who want to watch
 every detail in the place and do everything themselves, and can't, because a jail5s big in- stitution. Then there's the war; den who sticks his chest out, walks around and leaves every thing to others. Neither one is any good"
 And he added that there wasn't any jail any place that a man couldn't get out of.
 Banghart might also have said that in a good many jails it wasn't necessary to break out; a convict could let a lenient parole system do the trick. For with Banghart when he surrendered was Edward Darlak, who had been paroled 36 times for serious crimes, and after the 18th parole had murdered a policeman.
 The present political parole sys- tenn in many state penitentiartss, to Hover, is the FBI's greatest enemy. And sometimes he won- ders how soon it will be before the Touhy gang is out again, one way or the other; n which case, if the war is over, Hoover will have no legal grounds for arrest ing them. His only legal excuse

this time was that they had failed to register change of address un- der the Selective Service Act. In other words they had not in- formed the warden at Stateville, Ill, when they skipped, what their new address would be.
 HOOvER'S GREY CAT
 One of the first things the Touhy gang did after arriving in Chicago was to stage a series of hold-ups to get Draft Registra- tion cards and Social Security cards. This was in case they should be caught in a traffic ac- cident and the police demanded Identification.
 Their life in. Chicago was or ganized along strict military lines. Banghart was the discip- Iinarian, TOuhy the brains. Banghart required two of the gang to remain on watch in the apartment every minute and when William Stewart let Mat thew Nelson go out ard get drunk, Bankhart beat both up with his pistol butt and left them for dead. They were cap- tured by the FBI before Christ mas.
 Afterwards the five remaining Touhy gangsters got two apart ments, plus a farm in Southern Illinois on which they planned to hide after pulling big jobs. They were all set for one of the worst crime waves ever experienced in crine-ridG.en Chicago.
 To aivOid detection they pulled some of the cleverest dodges the G-men have known. Every day they changed suits. hats and 6vercOats. Thus in shadOwing them a block away, the G-men found it difficult to ascertain how many were in the gang. Moreover when one gangster went out, Banghart followed a block behind, a sawed off shotgun under his OvercOat, ready to pot any pO- lice or shadOwing G-men.
 After days of watching. Hoover finally decided the time was ripe to close in and led ais G-men to the Leland Ave. apartment. It was 8 p. m. and they knew the apartment to be empty. Walking I'D the pack stairs in the inky blackness, Hoover stepped on a cat. It let out a terrific yowl.
 Good LOrd,' whispered Ho0Uver, tits bad luck!'
 "NO," breathed assistant di- rector E. J. Connelley, flashing on a light. it wasn't . black cat. It was . grey one"
 BEDBUGs WORSE
 THAN GANGSTERS
 They took up the vigil in an apartment they had rented across the hall. Into the gangsters' room, with a pass key. slipped two other G-nlen. Down the hall In Q public lavatory stood two more. No one in the neighborhood rec alized 1t, but the house was com- pletely surrounded.
 Hoover, Conne;ley and w. O. Bannister took turns peeping through a gimlet hole. It was tir- ing work. The aparement teemed with bedbugs. The .hpse d.inen wri.hed in agony.

 THE PHANTOM RIDES AGAIN
 A neatly vanished story runs as follows: A youth found a fox lying in roadside ditch in convulsioi1s. The youth tried to put out of misery or lend the suffering" of the fox and the fox bit him on the nose.
 The youth was given double doses' of "serum"--whatever that may mean--and daily injections of Pasteur virus, but ''throat ccnstric- tions and convulsions'' developed and the youth succumbed.
 The story closes with the ex- planatory statement that the "state board of health (of another state) found hat the fox had rabies"
 One reader, who sends q clipping of the story (so far thirty or more have sent it irl), makes these per tinent observations: s "It is your (Brady's) conten
 ton, I believe, that humans do not die of rabies. You go so far
 as to assert that there is no au-
 thentic case of death as the result
 of rabies Yo'; content that death is caused by tetanus, when hu-
 mans are bitten by animals and infection follows. You have said that if you were bitten by 3 rabid
 dog, for example. you would want
 a dose of tentanus antitoxin." GA. F. Al <. A. F.. A. correctly sums up my OPINION, contention or belief. Mo- body KNOWS whether rabies oc- CUTS in man.
 If I were bitten or wcnided in any way by a domestic or wild ami nal or fowl or bird, regardless of whether the animal or bird were possible rabid, I'd want IMMED1- ATE surgical treatment of the wound by a physician AND an i'm mediate prophylactic dose of tetan- us antitoxin = and is second dose of the same antitoxin 5 to 2 days later. I'd no other treatment, no matter who might find the animal had rabies.
 Throat constructions and con- vulsions' are even more character istic of tetanus (lockjaw) than is stiffening of the jaw muscles and inability to open the mouth widely.
 The intestional tract of domestic and wild animals is the natural ha- bitat of tetanus spores or germs. The habits of dogs domestic fowl etc, make it imperative that this precaution against tetanus be taken in every case of bite or wound of that kind-and now formally add to the contentious my friend A. F. A. mentions above the declaration that in my opinion it Is culpably negligent on the part of the physi. elan or health board representative in such cases if the victim does not receive this IMMEDIATE ptophy- tactic dose of tetanus antitoxin. <
 I repeat, no one KNOWS wEe ethet such a disease as 'rabies'' ever be- CUTS in man. And I ask whether the frank and file of the medical pro- fession is not guilty of a horrible mistage in striving so blindly to keep alive this phantom of "hypdro- phobia?"

Grand Offensive"
in Donets Area

LONDON, ept. 3.-The German
radio announced today that the
Soviet Army has launched a grand
offensive in the central Donets
River basin area in south Russia
early this morning.
The Russians have been driving
forward in this area for several
days, and yesterday they announced
important gains including the cap
ture of the cities of Voroshilovsk,
Slavyanoserbsk and Lisichansk.
The German announcement said
since early morning the expected
Russian attack in the central Don
cts basin has been in full swing.
The Russians have employed nun
dreds of heavy artillery batteries
and fighter formations according
to the principles of their we'll
known attrition tactics. There are
as yet no further details about this
new large scale action
The Germans, meanwhile, fell
back before other Soviet drives
which cut the main Nazi rail link
between the central and southern
sectors. $50 miles from Kiev, and
smashed into the Smolensk de-
lenses,
