 At meeting of the bowl commit tee of which Harold WOodcock is chairman and John Golden, CO., chairman, it was decided to erect three large platforms in the grid iron, the center to be devoted to the actual entertainment while on one side stage will be provided for the guest stars, state and city off cials and hOnOred guests. The other platform will be occupied by sur- prise band.
 G.

 Plans call for the opening of the gates to the Yale Bowl promptly at 3:30 pm. on July 18th with the show going on promptly at 4:30 p.m., with a Surprise" opening event. As the rally falls on a Wednesday afternoon when all the downtown merchants closed a half day it is expected that the bowl will be filled to capacity within a short time.
 The rally has the sanction of the Treasury Department with New Ha- ven the city designated for. the cli- making event, which is the rally. The rally is part of the July ''Shan- gri-La bond and stamp drive'' dur ing which the government expects to reach nationwide quota of $l3O,OOO,OOO, and it is expected that this huge sum will be used to build an airplane carrier Shangri- La. The goal of New Haven during July is $3,OOO,OOO, and according to James W. Hook, general chair man, eff New Haven doesn't reach its quota I will be terribly disap- pointed. The drive throughout the country is being pressed by the na- tion's retailers, newspapers and mo- ton picture theatres.

Woman To Pay For Her Patriotism?

DETROIT Mrs. Pearl Adams, who rented rooms in her exclusive Crosse Pointe home to shelterless war workers, who ordered convicted by Circuit Judge Joseph Moynihan in his instructions to the jury last week, when she appealed from justice court conviction on charges of vio1at- ing the Detroit society suburbs zon- ing ordinance.
 Pres. Frank X. Marte1 of the De- troit & Wayne County Federation of Labor (A.FL.) said as a defense witness that if England can convert castles to war uses and turn the sod in princely parks to grow food, surely Crosse Pointe could strain its zoning law in this emergency. The jury seem ed to think so too, but after over an hour of de1iberation decided to comply with Moynihan's order. Further ap- peal is possible, says Defense Counsel Nedwin Smoker.

 Jim Crow" Bars

WASHINGTON. = Under Secre- tary of War Robert P. Patterson told press conference this week of in novations in the air force which were regarded here as the forerunner of several important changes relaxing the Jim Crowism of the army.
 Army air schools will be opened to Negroes soon, according to Patterson, for training as bombardiers and navi- gators. At present the only schools where Negroes may study aviation are at Iuskegee, Ala, and Selfridge Field, Mich, and Negroes are used only in fighter squadrons, not as bombardiers. The new training will be given jointly to Negro and white soldiers, not in segregated groups.

Labor Group In Hartford Win Victory
Ward AFL-CIO Candidate Is Fifth Unionist On
 Board Of Aldermen
By JOSEPH V. GROWN Aircraft Lodge TAB LAM.

AIrcra1t LO0ge I45 lsA.Ms
 Appointment to city office of the first representative of organized Ia- bOr ever to be selected by a joint committee became a reality this week, when Patrick J. Ward. presi- dent of the CIO City Council. was unanimously selected by the Demo- cratic majority of the Board of AL derman of Hartford, to replace for mer-alderman Frank M. Heavey. : Wards appointment followed the announcement of the A.F.L.-C.LO. Public Affairs Committee that he was the candidate of organized la- bor for the city position.
 The new city official was sworn into office Tuesday morning by Mayor Dennis P. O'Connor, who followed through with his pledge to the com mittee that he would back their selec- ton for the post. Members of the Public Affairs Committee, including Joseph A. Lombard, business agent of the Meatcutters, and Joseph V. Cronin, co-chairman of the Committee, were present at the ceremonies.
 Five of Hartford's 10 Aldermen are members of organized labor. In addi- tlon to Ward, they are: E. Edward Kaminsky, Local 559, Teamsters j; Walter Poparliearz, Local 58, Hart ford Bartenders; James Gurl1in and James Neary of the C.I.O.
 At its meeting Thursday night, the executive board of the Commit tee considered plans submitted by the Committee on Arrangements for the city-wide Conference to be held in September, and a report by the finance committee.
 The political action subcommittee next Tuesday night to continue its work on the registration of voters in every precinct of the city in preparation for the municipal election this year, and the all-important state and national elections of 1914.
 The work of the latter commit tee, an enlargement of the original JOint-ElectiOns committee of 1942. is the enrolment of every laborite in the Hartford area, so that organ ized labor will not again suffer the consequences of anti-labor legisla- ton, resulting from failure to re- gister and to vote.
 The full committee will meet the first Friday in August, while the ex- ecutive board will meet weekly. Spe- cial meetings of the full group will be held when found necessary, with at least two, and possibly three meetings to be held in August, in preparation for the September Conference.

As We See It
 by THE STAFF

UNANIMOUS endorsement of President Roosevelt for a fourth term was voted last week by the Texas State Federation of Labor. The action, taken at the 43rd con- ventiOn of the Lone Star labor body, lines Texas up with Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana and Georgia in support of the President. AFL con- ventiOns in those states within the past month approved similar reso- tions.
 INTRODUCING the fourth-term resolution to the. convention. Will liam Moran of Ell Paso. stressed FDR's vetoing of the Smith Con- nally Bill. That was only one in- dication of his friendship for la- bOr," Moran said.
 'THE UNITED STATES" he continued, needs a great leader ship during this terrible war we are fighting and will need him to direct us during the writing of final and lasting peace.'
 THE ACTION of these Southern ALL. groups in endorsing F.D.R. is disliked by their poll-tax Con- gressmen and Senators, most of whom consistently vote against New Deal and pro-labor measures. O.P.A. Mother Goose
 Sing song of sixpence
 A pOcketfuI of rye But six of pence
 Will not commence That much of rye to buy.
 ORGANIZED LABOR has a friend in high place in the Office of Price Administration with Ches- ter BOwles, state O.P.A. director, assuming the general managership of the program to which he has been appointed by O.P.A. Chief Prentiss Brown. We extend our best wishes for success to BowIes a proven friend of labor in this state.
 IT IS A GOOD thing for average consumer that Lou Maxon turned down the job which Brown gave to Bowles. On one point there is a similarity between the two men. Both went into advertising and were quite successful at it. However, Bowles has sold out his interest in the Benton and Bowles firm, and has been giving his full time and interest to public service.
 UNLIKE MAXON, BOWLES be- lieves in grade-labeling. He also be- lieves in the sOnsumer-cOOperati movements, and feels that after the war, this movement will grow to a force important enough to keep the monopolies in line.
