Business Is Urged
To Frame Policies
Under Big Debt
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 18.-An over
all policymaking organization of
private business to meet the prob
lens Of the transition period from
war to peace and of the national
debt was proposed today by Roy A.
Foulke of Dun g. Bradstreet, Inc.
Contending that "all taxes, wages,
salaries, rent, dividends, interest,
profits and annuities" come from
the use of capital in free enter
prise, Foulke declared:
Every cent raised to support our
gigantic postwar debt must come
from business in honest dollars, and
the greater that debt due to lack
of public thrift. irrelevant economic
philosophy. Wastefulness, or care
lessness, the greater becomes the
direct burden on business activity"
He estimated the national debt
at $500, 600, 900 900 would require min
imum annual Federal tax revenues
of $40, 900 900 900 and half that much
for State and local governments
The comfortable days of the past
are over" he said.
His Permanent Council of Rep
resentatives of Free Business En-
terprise' would have as a goal an
annual national income of more
than Slo0 900 900 900 to support such
! taxes.
The council would develop broad
policies for business so there will be
little or no involuntary unemploy-
ment. so that profits will be sus-
tanned, SO that the level of business
prosperity will not suddenly COL
lapse"
In the absence of such an or
ganization, he said, irresistible po-
litical forces will provide additional
deficit spending"
Sooner or later" he added. the
end is loss of financial control which
means economic and financial ca
lamity, or shift toward Govern
ment ownership of the means of
/ production"

GOVERNOR RETTRES CONNIE DANAHER
Accepts Resignation With Regrets; John J. Egan
 New Labor Commission

Hartford, Conn, Nov. 15 - (U.P0 John J. Egan. Bridgeport, plan ned today to resign as secretary of the Connecticut Federation of Labor to accept an appointment by Gov ernor Baldwin as State Labor Com missioner at $9,060 a year.
 Egan, whose appointment became effective with the governors an- nouncement last night, will succeed Cornelius J. Danaher, who resigned a week ago to aid the political cam- paign of his son, Republican U. s. Senator John A. Danaher, who was defeated for reelection.
 Egan, an official of the GEL for more than 25 years, vii serve the balance of Danaher's term, ending July l, 1947, subject to approval by the State Senate when the General Assembly meets in January.
 The Governor expressed regret in accepting Danaher'S resignation thanked the commissioner for splendid, outstanding service" and said your reasons for presenting your resignation under the circum- stances were fine and noble.
 You can retire from office know ing that many worthwhile things have been done during your admin 1Stration as labor commissioner, and you can take justif1able pride in your many splendid accomplish mentS."
 Egan had been prominently men, tioned for the labor post two years ago when it was rumored that Dan aher would retire. He has acted as legislative agent for the GEL for a number of years and is regarded as one of the best versed men on labor problems in the state.
 Egan served as vice president of the GEL from 1917 until 1924 when he was elected secretary to fill the unexpired term of Ira N. Ornburn who now is secretary of the Union Labor Trades Department of the U, s. Labor Department at Washing ton.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-11-15
BY ROBERT D. SMITH

United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 Washington, Nov. 15-(UP)-The present electoral college system of choosing 8 president was described today as "grotesque and outworn" by two Democratic House leaders who moved to revise it.
 Reps. Clarence F. Lea, D., Calf, ;, and Chairman Eugene Morley, D., Tex, of the presidential elections committee, said the system should be changed by constitutional amend ment before the nation chooses it's chief executive again.
 They said the electoral college as it now exists does not reflect true public opinion as indicated by the popular vote, and, by failing to commit electors to party candi- dates may result in disfranchiSe- ment of the people"
 Lea, chairman of the powerful in- terState commerce committee, yes terday introduced legislation de- signed to compromise faults in the present system while still retaining the electoral college itself.
 His plan would permit each state to retain it's present number of electoral votes but would split the votes between the candidates on the basis of the percentage of each mans popular vote within the state.
 Thus, if Oklahoma with 10 cleo toral votes gave 61,3 per cent of its popular vote to the Democratic candidate and 38.7 per cent to the Republican nominee, its electoral vote would be split 613 to 3.87.
 In case of a tie between candi- dates-which Lea pointde out would be much more improbable than un- der the present system-the candi- date with the highest popular vote nationally would be elected.
 The proposal, he said, is similar to others he has introduced in past sessions with approval of Pres ident Roosevelt. Because of the wide variance between Gov. Thom- as E.

Industries Engaged in Radar Production Need
 Additional Workers

Hartford, Conn, Nov. 15-Be- cause of the expanded production schedules and employment declines more than 11,000 jobs are now open in plants in Connecticut and the nation manufacturing radar equip ment for the armed forces, Chair man Paul V.~McNutt of the War Manpower Commission informed State Director William J. Fitzgerald of the War Manpower Commission in this state. There are some 250 plants in Connecticut which manu- fracture conlponents for radar.
 The problem of securing addi- tional workers for radar production MT. Fitzgerald said, is aggravated by the fact that most of the plants are concentrated in tight labor markets.
 MT. Fitzgerald emphasized that the majority of radar plants in Connecticut and elsewhere in the nation are currently on schedule but that additional workers are needed to meet rising production requirements. Many plants have met production schedules he said by transferring workers within the plant, by increased efficiency and improved manpower utilization methods and in many cases over time work.
 Plants in Connecticut, MT. Fitz- gerald said, still have many jobs available for men and women work CTS. These people are urged to con- tact the United States Employment Services offices in their areas for referraols to an important industry.
