did not change 61.9 per cent plal to do likewise.
 On a product classification basi! SIS per cent of the locomotive, cal and ship builders plan to buy theil government facilities. as do 76.2 pel cent of the automobile and machine parts makers, TIA per cent of the automobile, tractor, airplane and truck builders and 70 per cent o1 the airplane parts and accessory manufacturers.
 Closely related to the problem of government owned plant disposal is the question concerning the future extent of subcontracting. The war gave tremendous impetus to the farming out of work on large scale, and 1t Is obvious considerable plants now being operated by Sub- contractors will not be needed by many companies in the postwar era if subcontracting is substantially reduced in volume.
 Will extensive subcontracting be continued in the postwar era? On the basis of replies received in STEEL'S survey of the metalwork- ing industry the answer is an un- equivocal Yes. The data shows that 67 per cent Of prime contrac- tors. representing 11.7 per cent o1 those participating in the study think present extensive subcontract- ing will be continued, as do 94.l per cent of the subcontractors, rep resenting 35.4 per cent of the total, and 89.l per cent of those doing both prime and subcontracting. O4 all the plants in the survey, 89.4 per cent expect present subcontracting will be continued against 10.6 per cent that do not think it will. The degree of optimism on this point is much higher with the medium and smaller plants than it is with the larger. Of those employing fewer than 25, for example, 99.4 per cent look for a continuance of broad sub contracting. as do 96.9 per cent of those employing 800 to 1000. On the other hand. of the plants employ ing more than 1000 but slightly more than 70 per cent expect sub- contracting to continue on the pres ent large scale.

dents in recog- Rev. J. Oonnely nized divinity. and theological schools whether these schools be advanced or preparatory. The group protesting stated that "the Roman Catholic students would not be af- fected by the ruling" because they are in junior seminaries and the re- suit would be Tan unjust and intol- erable discrimination against one religious group"
 Together with being unnecessary the statement is untrue. The major ity of young men who study for the priesthood get their psychological training in colleges and not in pre- paratory seminaries. Only g of the 107 dioceses in the United States lave preparatory seminaries.
 AND PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS
 Again the statement with ap- parent bad will says that "the Pro- testant Churches rely upon the pub- lie schools and colleges for the basic training for the ministry in their theological schools. Our churches do this as a matter of principle for they believe in public responsibility for education in a democracy
 The inference is that private schools are somehow undemocratic. But since when is 1t n-American or un-democratic for Amreican par ents to say in what schools their children will be educated? This is a right guaranteed by the Constitu- tion. The pioneer schools of America were religious schools and the founders of America would not look upon the schools divorced from re- ligion as safe custodians of the lib- critics that they would build into their new land of freedom.
 And the statement with its dig at the "parochial and Church-control- led schools" take on a strange nov- city from the fact that, as the Mili- tary Ordinariate points out, accord ing to Who's Who of the g who signed the statement one is listed as having received his theological training in State University and IS received their theological training in either Church Control led colleges or in colleges which were so established.

BY THE OUT EASTER

Back in olden days, residents of Old Out East, The Abrigador, Brooklyn, and the south end dis tricts of Waterbury, comprised many Irish and German people. It was in a day when families knew each other, and when neigh borhood friendliness and good will prevailed.
 We thought of this the other day when we read of the recent death of Mrs. Mathilda Gumpper of lower Baldwin street, widow of the late William Gumpper, ST., and mother of several well known Gumppers, like, William, Philip and Fred along with Amelia, nurse in the public health dept. of Waterbury. The Gumpper fam fly always lived in the south end, and its members were widely known among the people of that section.
 There are things in the life be- fore that come to us when read of the death of people We know and have heard about in the pass ing years. For instance, the good ness of Mrs. Gumpper was revived as we thought back, and related to ourselves the various kind and outstanding deeds of this little far-seeing person in her years of life associated with her hus- band and family in carrying on their meat business to such an ex- tent that 1t brought about pa- tronage from practically every family of the south end. It was this association that made 1t possible for Mrs. Gumpper in her day to know the needs and wants of all of us who at one time or another lived in this particular part of the city. Her nature was such she desired to know for the good of the community and the good of all. And 1t afterwards proved its real value 1 the mnay kindly things of a sympathetic mind as demonstrated by the charitable acts of this little per- son as the neighborhood knew, from time to time, by the whis- pering words of some of those benefited.
 After all, one may die, and even though we may seem to for get, there are some who remem- Der, and are able to impart to one like the Out Easter certain infor- nation which should be told to

STATE PRISONS
 ON COAST GET |. LYMAN CONTROL

Sacramento, May IS. = (UP)--A new deal in prison administration substituting one-man control for management by a part-time board and creating @ centralized state lw-enforcement agency is now in effect in the state of California.
 The reorganization, passed by the Legislature last Janaury after Q governors investigation of the states prisons, creates a new de- partment of corrections and a de- partment of justice and puts the prisons under single trained ad- ministrator in place of the lay board of prison directors which ran Cali fornia penitentiaries for some 50 years.
 Richard McGee, a veteran of prison administration in the Fed eral system, New York City, and the State of Washington, heads the new department of corrections, which includes administration and management of the states prisons for men and women.
 Single Parole Authority
 The prison reform act also cre- ates new high-salaried single au- thority which takes over parole and pardon functions that used to be divided among three boards.
 If the new director of corrections has his way, he will reorganize Cali fornia's prison system on a system of work for convicts and merit service for employees.
 McGee believes that "a good cor- rectional system can never be built without career system for em- ployes" and that he regards useful work as the best means of rehabil- itating criminals and curtailing trouble in prisons.
 Shortage in Personnel
 To a degree, however, he admits neither purpose can be fulfilled until after the war. He says there are nnanpower shortages in all the prisons now, and topping the list of causes, he says, are inadequate physical facilities and incompetent management.
 Only about half of the inmates of an institution, McGee estimates, can be employed in maintenance work at the institution itself, and the rest must be employed in pro- duction, which ordinarily cannot be sold in competition with privately produced goods.
 McGee indicated he would see If the prisons could make some of the clothing and other articles used in the states mental hospitals, and said he wanted to expand the agri- cultural production on prison farms at least to the capacity of present facilities.

 Steers survey indicates only rel atively small percentage of com- panies in the metalworking industry as a whole hold government capa- city, 172 per cent to be exact.
 Most government-owned metal working capacity is held by the larger companies, Steels data show ing that only about per cent of the companies employing fewer than 50 have any, compared with 40.l per cent of the plants employing be- tween 500 and 1000, and 59.2 per cent of those employing more than 1000.
 Most of the government facilities are in the highly industrialized Mid- west and Northeastern sections of the country. Something like 87,5 per cent of government capacity Is in sixteen states with Pennsylvania having 11.5 per cent, Michigan il.3 per cent, Ohio l0.6 per cent, Illinois l0.4 per cent and New York 9.3 per cent.
 Fairly wide variation in the mat ter of government-owned plants Is shown by product classification. For example, 40,7 per cent of the loco. motive, car and ship builders are operating government facilities; 41.2 per cent of the automobile, air. plane, truck and tractor manufac- turers; TIT per cent of the machine tool builders; and l4.5 per cent of the materials handling equipment manufacturers.
 Of those metalworxing firms with government capacity 627 per cent intend to buy it, assuming it will be available to them on reasonable terms while 37.3 per cent indicate they are not interested. It is per- tinent to note in this connection tha of he plans employing fewer than 25 only 30.3 per cent intend to buq the government facilities they are operating compared with 77.8 per cent of those plants em- ploying 250 to 500, and 69 per cent of those employing more than 1000.
 Views with respect to acquisition of government-owned facilities are fairly uniform whether plants changed or did not change product manufacture during the war.
 Of those plants that changed, 63.3 per cent indicate they intend to buy the government facilities they hold, while of those plants that
