A car cannot be driven to St. Johns, for example, or even the second town in the is land, Cornerbrook, 40 miles distant, on the railroad.

 GIS Fish And Hunt
 Twelve correspondents stopping here on a tour of ATC facilities in the North Atlantic, found the post enthusiastic about local fish and game. Most, of the GIs try some of the excellent salmon and trout fishing hereaabouts, or go out into the hills for deer, caribou or moose.
 There isn't much else by way of diversion except the post movie and social activities, so the boys take to the hills and streams. Army Special Services have established some hunting lodges near the camp, and issue suitable firearms to those who want some shooting. There is a freshwater lake nearby skinned by CT sailboatS. Despite the la titude, there is comfortable swim ming up to September, though, summer long it is never uncom- fortably warm.

Continued from Page D after the state convention. It did not seem likely that he had been aware of the local publicity being given the expressed plans, as seemed evident today by his denial of the proposed program.
 The formation" of the party stemmed from recent criticism by Peter B. Higgins, union member, unsuccessful Democratic candidate for congressman who had been supported by the union, who charged the Waterbury Demo- cratic party with having taken walk" in their efforts to assure victory for the Democratic party here. Waterbury gave President Roosevelt but $500 plurality this year as compared to a better than 5000 four years ago.
 Since that time Peter Mama, union campaign manager for MT. Higgins had criticized the latter and the union for bringing up such charges claiming that from evi- dence he had gathered the Demo- cratic party had worked vigorously and earnestly. MT. Mama was then charged by the union as be- ing only chauffeur" for Higgins, but the former then produced letter signed by Robert Walkin- shaw, chairman of the P. A. c. committee here and written pre- viously to the election identifying Mama as campaign manager" for Higgins.
 Similar controversial charges had been hurled back and forth during the past week relative to all factors until MT. Driscoll's return last night.
 Tn his statement released today MT. Driscoll said:
 "A proposal will be made to in- vite c. B. Baldwin and Thomas Burns, assistants to c. I. O. P. A. c. Chairman Sidney Hillman, to at tend meeting of the state board to discuss future political action in Connecticut, with particular reference to Waterbury where Peter Higgins, candidate for Congress, charged the Democratic party with laxity in the recent election cam paign."
 "No added comment" was the general expreSsio ngive nto the issue today by union authorities.

Insurance Protection
 Now Business ''Must'' .
65 Per Cent of Workers Want Assurance of Help in Event of Unusual Illness or Surgery; Survey Results

New York, November 28-Volun- tary. group insurance to provide sick ness and death benefits and protec- tion for employees against the haz- ards of hospitalization and surgical care costs has become a must" for business and industry in the United States, according to report made public in New York yesterday.
 This report, based upon a nation wide study of group insurance pro- grams now in effect and an era- ployer- -employe opinion survey, was released at the National Conference of Professions, Insurance, and h. dustry under the sponsorship of the National Physicians Committee for the Extension of Medical Service, held at the Waldorf Astoria hotel.
 Surveys conducted by Opinion Re- search Corporation, the report re- veals, indicate that only 5 per cent of all the people are concerned about the cost of ordinary illness. But 63 per cent-85 million people believe that an easier method of meeting the cost of unusual illness or surgery can be provided. Through out the nation 9 per cent of all em- ployed persons work for firms which cooperate with employees in provid- ing some plan for paying the costs of serious illness. About 16 per cent of the workers have availed them selves of the opportunity to partici- pate in such protection.
 Group insurance programs act- ually in operation ir 1927 business and industrial firms, employing A. 109,443 workers, were analysed by the National Physicians Committee through the cooperation of com- panies representing practically every type of business and every section of the United Ststes From infor- nation provided by these compan- ies it is revealed that 91 per cent or 3,760,468 employes-are covered by some phase of these insurance programs. Types of coverage include life insurance, disability benefits, disqualification and surgical care benefits, and to lesser extent med ical care. The programs variously cover one or any combination of these types of coverage.
 Tn some instances the employer pays all the costs of the group in- Surance protection. In other cases the employe pays for the protection through voluntary payroll deduc- tions. But in a large majority of cases the cost is shared by employ CT and employees.
 Of the 1927 programs studied, 1,223-or 92 per cent-provided life insurance either alone or in com bination with some other type of coverage. A total of 3,578. 319 workers, or 95 per cent of all em- ployes of these companies, are cov- cred under these programs.
 HoSpitalization protection, either alone or combined with other bene- fits, is afforded by 1,039 programs covering 2,352,244 employes-77 per cent of firms surveyed and 621s per cent of employees involved.
