 Major Hugo Wiberg, of the sal- vation Army in Waterbury, was the next speaker. He told of the work of his organization on the various battlefronts and cited in- stances where servicemen had told him of the aid rendered by the Sal- vation Army. We are all striving to do our bit" Major Wiberg said, but without your help we are helpless"
 Kenneth Kramer, representative of the International CIO, said, in part: You may wonder what the C1O has to do with a drive of this kind, but let me tell you that we feel we have an obligation to dis- charge.

 Samuel Perry, of the Grand St. oface, 'commander -in-chief" of the Chase War and Community Chest drive, spoke briefly, pointing out that many Chase employees are giv. ing but others who should be giving are not doing SO aS yet. His appeal to the workers was strong as he urged everyone to figure 1t out him. self just how much he could give. MT. Perry then introduced Joseph Rossi who was followed by Walter A.

Then this man received @ letter from a son in the service in the South Pacific area, telling him of the great work and service of the Red Cross. Needless to say, the man called his card back and placed no strings on how his donation should be spent. Other anecdotes of this kind were related and MT. Jarvis wound up with Q stirring appeal to the men and women of the Rolling Mill to beat the other divisions in this drive as they SO often have in others in the past,

A vivid, flrst-hand story of the naval battles in the South Pacific was told yesterday afternoon at a Community and War Chests rally at the Chase Rolling Mill when Joseph Rossi, aviation lnachinist's mate first class, a Waterbury boy and former employe of the Noera Manufacturing O., briefly told of the famous Battle of Midway. Rossi, his sailor blouse bedecked with Q half dozen campaign rib- bons, gave the most telling argu- Tnent for contributions to the fund when he described to the assembled workers how his ship, the U. s. s. Vincennes, was sunk.
 Thrilling Story
 His word picture of the carnage was thrilling and shocking at once, as he described the action during the battles in which he played a part. Rossi took part in the Battle of the Coral Sea aS well as the SolNnon Islands engagement and, in addition, ways @ part of the convoy that took Gen. Jimmy Doo- little and his gallant flyers on their historic bombing expedition against Tokyo.
 "You people who feel you want to get in the Army or the Navy and help carry the flag" Rosi said, "had better stay at home and wave the flag. You're much better of here. You may read about 1t, and you may see something of 1t in the movies, but you ought to see the real thing. Seeing men shot down your buddies-hearing their cries as sharks attack them in the water you ought to see that. Then you ought to see what the Red Gross does-and when they ask you to donate you should donate til 1t hurts. It's Q pretty small part to play and even the boys in the service are buying war bonds. If they can do that and fight at the same time, you can support the Red Cross. the Salvation Army and the rest of the Community and War Chests agencies"

 Welfare Department
 The Welfare Departments bud get was likewise considered last night with the board requested to appropriate c figure for i944 of 4268 e20, as over the current appro- priation of S264, 4,e5s. It was pointed out that the bulk of thiS apropria- ton is not necessary for direct re- lief but is made up of such demands as covered by 6 s45,o00 request for the care of patients in hospitals, e figure which remains fairly con- stant each year.
 Other like expenditures are a re- quest for $32,000; Q figure estimate established by state statute this past year which is for expenses in the aid to dependent children. Before the state law became fact the cur- rent appropriation set up was S27,- 800.
 A similar large expenditure arises from the expenses involved in the care of patients in state institutions amounting to 6 request for 5000, the same figure granted for current operations.

A Republican, at most any time is liable to be asked one of two questions. One of them is, why don't the Republicans win an election occasionally The other question is, who is going to be the Republican candidate for mayor2
 At the present time it is Ob- vious that the second question is not . pertinent one, and some people will question whether the first question is pertinent just now, being 60 close tO election day. I am one of those who be- lleve that it is. The outlook just now does not appear too bright for Republican success and the reasons for this condition are about the same as they have been during the past twenty-two years,

 The principal reason that has been ascribed to Republican fail- ure in the past has been that the party organization has been weak and the leadership has been poor. That has been true as far as it went but 1t did not tell the whole story. This weakness has not for the greater part of the time been @ casual one. The party leaders placed their own interests above those of the party and sold out to the opposition in return for favors extended to themselves. Tn other words, the election campaigns were nothing more than a sham. The tickets that were named to run were what are termed as "set- ups" and did not rate even a rec mote chance of being elected.
 This condition existed for ap- prOximately ten years from 1923 to 1883. The rank and file did not take kindly to this condition dur ing that entire period. They forced the selection of what were considered strong tickets in 1927 and 1929. But these candidates were betrayed by their own party leaders and the Democrats man. aged to pull through. This condi- ton continued until 1883 when the reorganization" took place and new set of leaders came into being.
 This new set of leaders has not proven an improvement on hte old. As Q matter of fact a con- siderable part of the old treacher- ous leadership is back at the helm. It fell down in doing an effective. reorganization job and drifted back into double machine politics with its ineficiency and treachery. The present campaign is Q deadly parallel of the old double machine tactics that pre- vailed during the Ned Goss re. gime. Not only is there no at- tempt being made to elect the ticket, but everything possible has been and is being done by those leaders to defeat 1t.

o|l Time Farm Help
 eededIn ( Connecticut
assis lOr zoo Received at State Ollce of U. s, Employment Service; Demands Growing

echool students and other groups which may be expected Co help care for seasonal peak farm labor con- tllelons. A recent Manpower Com mission directive placed all farm labor recruiting responsibility with the Extenslon Service, but until adequate personnel and funds have been supplied Co the Extension Service, and machinery set up Co meet the situation, the Employment Service will, by agreement, continue Co assume the responsibility for placing full time farm workers, A6r. Ennis said.
 At the present time, Mfr. Ennis sald, farm labor is being obtained In three ways: The employment rec- ord of every reglstrant for work Is being scanned and, where previous farm experience is shown, letters are being addressed to the indlvid. ual outlining the urgency of the farm labor problem and pointing out the eieslrabllity of returning to this field of work. It Is also ex. plalned that under present clrcum- stances there are many splendid Job opportunities on Connecticut farms, with good living conditions and with much higher wages than ordinarily prevail.
 A second source, MT. Ennis said, was the referral by local draft boards of all applicants of draft age who have had intensive farm experience. Tn addition negotiations are now unde" way with the Farm Security Administration looking toward the importation of at least 800 farm workers from sub-margt- nal farms of the south and south- west.
 sThe farm labor situation in Con- nccticut can be met only by the whole -hearted cooperation of all ex- istlng agencies" Mr. Ennis con- cluded, "and while the Manpower directive has transferred this re. sponsibllity to the Extension Service, we are glad to make available to them our facilities and our person. nel. We have agreed with E. c. woodward, dean of the College of Agriculture of the University of Connecticut, to continue to recruit and place full time farm workers, while he concentrates on the re. cruitment of seasonal workers. I urge every man who has had farm experience to inquire at tlse nearest U. s. Employment Service about the splendid job openings now exist ing on many Connecticut farms. In taking such jobs, these men will not only be earning good living in pleasant, healthy work, but they will be performing also an outstanding service for their country"
