The purpose of the meetings, to
be held in various parts Of the state
within the next 10 days, will be to
lay down plans for increased ride
sharing by both essential workers
and non essential workers, and to
discuss ways and means of "hand-
ling adjustments of "B" and &c"
coupons, Bowles said.
Revealing that many supplemental
rations have been under study dur

of renewals will occur in the next
six weeks.

THELMA NAHAS

Recently, during the lunch period, we munched on one of the incomparable grinder" and inter- viewed Mrs. Fred (Thelma) Nahas, welder in Depart. 34-V. The most outstanding fact of this interview with her was that eight members of her husbands family are en- ployed in Electric Boat Go. One would call this an "all out offensive on the Nahas Front" Thelma, tells us too, that she has 8 sister soon to be employed at the Tinshop in the Victory Yard after her training at the School has been completed. Thelma, herself, has been married to her husband, who is of Syrian descent, for four years. They live in Quaker Hill, Conn.
 She was born in Arkansas and raised in GainSville, Florida. She refers to the latter as a football town" Perhaps fondness for foot ball can be directly attributed then to this fact. Thelma, however, Is a devotee of one sport in particular, and that is swimming. It really is

What Is the Real Situation At Kearny?

According to reports received by the local Independent Union from the Independent Union at the Elco Works in Bayonne, New Jersey, which is very near the Kearny shipyard which the CIO is always boasting, wages and working con- ditions there are very far from the rosy picture given by local CIO organizers.
 It is most significant that within comparatively recent time more than 1000 workers there have joined the Independent Union de- spite the compulsory CIO union maintenance condition there for

Muriel and her husband are the parents of one year old son with whom they enjoy playing after working hours. In the meantime, he is cared for by Murieps mother. Several more interests are caring for their Victory Garden and lis- tening to symphonic music-they also eagerly follow war news on the radio.
 It was only as an afterthought that we inquired into MuriePs hob by, Art-discovering that at high school age, she entered a painting in a contest held at the Chicago Worlds Fair (1930 and won Sec ond Prize. She mostly likes doing water-colors. While attending State Teachers College in Westchester, Penn, Muriel supervised all stud ent extra a-curricular art work on the campus.

 Before she came to Conn, TheImG worked in St. Louis, Missouri, and previous to that operated dindngS room in Florida. Especially enjoyed her supervisory work here be4 cause she met and talked with q great variety of people-like4 friendly and responsive personal lities.
 About the War, Thelma believes Hitler has reached the end of hi4 rope, and the conflict will end within a year. Our most dane gerouS enemy in her opinion N Japan.

 It is freely predicted there that if the Independent Union had ag- gressive leadership 1t would defeat the CIO for bargaining rights. This is backed up by the fact that the CIO union there never has had a majority of the workers signed up. It holds bargaining rights. .on- ly because of lack of opposition as in the case of other shipyards along the East coast.

 He likes what he's doing at Elec- tric Boat Co. as he's located in the Finished Storehouse and enjoys contacts with people from other Departments.

You'll find her located in the Main Yard employed as a Chaser" We understand she's really enthused and can't say too much about the job.
 They have 51a year old son and, we gather, playing with him and tending a Victory Garden afford a lot of pleasure after the days job at the Plant Is over.
 We've discovered the quality Jim is most conscious of in people Is that of cheerfulness-and he con- siderS harmony vitally important in relationships with others. He dislikes diScord at any time.

Introduces
By Beatrice Fisher MURIEL PRINGLE

We found Muriel Pringle a very serious-minded young woman, en- grossed in the War, its meaning and her own part in the Defense pro- gram. Indeed, she exemplifies in her outlook a keen consciousness and recognition of today's tragic world conflict. Her. Life has not gone untouched by it since few weeks ago news was received that her brother, Eugene German, was missing, presumably lost at sea. He was with the Merchant Marine for six years and attended Fort Trumbull last winter. Like many others, he willingly accepted what ever sacrifice the fulfillment of his duty might demand.
 Both Muriel and her husband, Charles A. Pringle are employed at Electric Boat Co.. the latter in the Tinshop and she is machinest- learner, working on the water proof doors for the submarines. While there are several other women now with this Department, we find that Muriel was the first of her sex to start out here. She very much likes any detail that comes with the job and assures us that men as co-workers are most considerate and helpful.

New Jersey, is 84c an hour. yet hundreds and even thousands of employees are being hired in as improvers for 62c an hour and then have to wait eight months before getting a raise.
 Other CIO shipyard agreements also provide for an improved group who are paid not much more than apprentices. Moreover they do not limit the number of apprentices which may be hired. With these big loopholeS in the CIO ship yard contracts 1t Is possible for thousands of workers to be hired in and kept at wage rates much lower than are now paid at the Electric Boat Company.

PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. 18 -

nectady, first To be built at the

land shipyard, cracked open and
sank while lying at a dock for
Quitting,
The l6,500-ton vessel had
completed its trial run without
fault Saturday and had been
turned over TO the Maritime
Commission.
Suddenly steel plates amid
ships ripped with a noise heard
throughout the ship yard, and
fore and aft sections of the tank
er dropped to the bottom.
Decks remained above the wa
ter level, but a three-foot gap
appeared in plate where the ship
had buckled.
Investigating Maritime Com
mission and Federal Bureau of
Investigation officials reported
nothing other than there was no
indication of sabotage.
The only plausible theory
came from unofficial sources
who said a recent flood might
have piled a sand ridge under
the dock, and the ship might
have broken its keel on the
ridge as the water level dropped.

Young Red Army

It's enemy.
At the moment all along this

beautifully-timed encirclements
There is no secret about the
Red army tactics which have put
the Germans on the run.
The Russians scout and then

fast-moving units which include
airplanes, air sledges which can
go better than 100 miles an
hour, cavalry and motorized in

When artillery is needed to
blast the Germans from their
positions they have plenty of it
and it is plenty big. Through
out the whole drive here the ar
tillery has been the real back
bone.
Soviet mobile units have

up the enemy's front. Their
tanks, on which tommy gun
ners ride, strike with great eff
feet.
The Russians assert that their
medium tank called the "a, is
the best medium tank in the
world, You certainly see few of
them standing about the battle
field down here.
They also have sleds, the

thousands. When the snow gets
deep they are vital to battle op-
erations. But | have yet TO see
the Germans using any Of them.
The commanders one talks
with impress one with their
great confidence in victory This
was apparent when l visited the
front last winter as the Russians
then had the Germans on the
run - but it definitely was not
on this scale.
They are not laughing at the
Germans, however. They still
pay them considerable tribute
as fighters. But the commanders
all say Hitler won't come bound
ing back next summer. The
present weather, they assert,
should be ideal for the German
armored forces and motorized
units.
