War Workers
To Save Metals

Create more war materials and
use less metal!
That's the new challenge army
ordnance puts 10 the men on the
production trent.
II can be done. Problems in war
are vast; sometimes their solutions
are simple.
Our precious stockpiles Of nickel,
chromium, molybdenum and other
critical metals are shrinking. One
man, says Ordnance. can help ire
mendously 10 stop this shrinkage.
This has been done-repeatedly,
and by degrees.

 U. s. Senator Francis T, Maloney will hold special meeting with U. s. Attorney Francis Riddle on May IT, to decide what action will be taken which will reveal whether Wa terbury can bring its $600000 suit for the recovery of the sums al- legedly taken from the City.
 Waterbury is now party to the suit. Mayor Monagan recommended to the Board of Finance that 1t have one of its members accompany Senator Maloney to the Washington meeting.
 Attorney George M. Cohen of Hartford, representative for the Good Government Association, has many times declared that since the governments attachments for in- come tax payments due from Leary were filed, that the superior court attachments would have prior claim.

BIENNIAL BUDGET
 REMAINS PROBLEM
General Assembly WOrk= ing Feverishly to Ad=
 jOurn By Next Friday

Hartford, Conn, May 7.-(UP)- The biennial budget remained today as the only major consideration of the General Assembly as it worked feverishly to comply with request Of leaders to adjourn by May IA.
 The appropriations committee, processing the expenditure program since the session convened in Janu- ary, was reported prepared to sub init its completed budget draft, probably today. This general budget will not include expenditures neces- sitated by the war. inasmuch as a special $2,280,000 war budget has been set up to take care of these out lays.
 Primer control over the general fund was regarded as accomplished with the creation of a special finan- cial advisory committee. which will pass on all transfers over 5000 from the general fund to regular budget ed agencies, after the Legislature ad- journs.
 Appropriations Committee Chair man Frank L. Barlow, R., Stoning- ton, said the setting up of the ad- visory committee would correct loose situation" pointing out that the General Assembly had no knowl- edge of g. .50000 transferred out of surpluses during the current bien- alum.

 The bill had been defeated in the House Wednesday. Rep. Philip F.

Ky REX CHANEY United Press Staff Correspondent

Washington, May 7--tUP) The prospects Of labor supply adequate to harvest l043 crops were brighter today, but the farmer a man Of many troubles - wasn't so optimis" tic about the weather outlook
 The Agriculture Department was getting reports from numerous rural sections saying that weather condi- lions were distinctly uniaVorable. In some places there was too much moisture, in others not enough.
 Some sections reported an unus- ually cold spring. Others had strong winds and dust storms that inter fcred with the spring work.
 The Agriculture Department lump cd it all together under the head ing: Partly Favorable"
 With farmers shooting at the high est production goals in history, the reports of unfavorable conditions were received with some apprehcn- sion here. Agriculture Department officials hoped the weather soon would do an about-face and bring another almost perfect" year such as l942.
 Early in the year the farmers chief worry was that the manpoWer shortage would curtail food produc- tion sharply. War Food Adminis- trator Chester Davis reported to Economic Stabilization Director James F. Bymes yesterday, however, that the farm labor supply is suf- ficient ito produce and harvest a l943 crop up to the levels of the announced goals"
 Davis was less optimistic about the availability of enough farm ma chinery, but he said that that situa- tion had improved and that he eX- pected the improvement to continue. The petroleum administration, he said, has pledged that farmers will be given enough gasoline to insure maximum food production even though further cuts in civilian gaso- line supplies should become neces- Sary.
 Most farmers consider weather the most important factor in crop pro- duction. Unfavorable weather nec- cssarily means a bad crop year,
