60 Million Jobs Can
 BeProvided, Hedges


 Americas capacity for output is great enough to provide 60,000,0OO jobs after the war at decent wages. So declared Marion H. Hedges, re- search director of the Electrical Workers, in an address this week to the Workers Educational Council in Louisville, Ky.
 Tt will take an annual income of 150 to 1855 billion dollars to make that many jobs," he said. "But we can reach that. War and civilian produc- ton combined are now running at that rate or better.
 "If we can achieve such a miracle of production in war, we can do so in peace"

Supreme Court s DeciisiionUphOlds Negroes Rights
Rules Railroad Unions Must Give Full Representation
 To All Members

In twin opinions coupled by a sharply concurring one by Justice Frank Murphy, the U. s. Supreme Court last week said that railroad unions must give full representa- ton to Negro members of their re- spective crafts while operating un. der the Federal Railway Labor Act. The principal case involved Bester w. Steele, a Negro fireman on the Louisville & Nashville rail- road in Alabama.
 Steele and other Negroes are barred from membership in the Bro. of Locomotive Bremen X En. ginemen by constitutional provi- sion, although the union is recog. nized as the bargaining representa- tive of all the employees under a contract with the railroad.
 As a result of series of actions by the brotherhood and the railroad Steele was replaced by a white fire man with less seniority and no more competence. The Supreme Court o1 Alabama found that Steele had nc cause for action and the case came to Washington on appeal.
 Chief Justice Harlan F. Stone, if the courts opinion, said, "We think that Congress, in enacting the Rail way Labor Act and authorizing . labor union chosen by the majority of craft, to represent the craft, dic not intend to confer plenary power upon the union to sacrifice, for tn, benefit of its members, rights of the minority of the craft, without impos. ing on 1t any duty to protect the minority"
 Justice Murphy, concurring said: "The constitution voices its disannroval whenever economic discrimination is applied under authority of law against any race creed or color. A sound democracy cannot allow such discrimination to go unchallenged. Racism is far too virulent today to permit the slight est refusal, in the light of a con stitution that abhors it to expose and condemn it wherever it ap' pears in the course of statutory interpretatiOn.'

New Year Message
 Gives Objectives
By William Green President

American Federation of Labor
 As we enter our fourth year of war. American workers are deter mined that it shall be the last.
 Labor issues this New Year warning to the enemy-that in the months ahead the, soldiers of pro- duction will back up the fighting forces of the United Nations with the greatest output of planes, tanks, guns and ships in history.
 This constantly increasing flow of war production IS the best evidence that America grows ever stronger while our enemies grow progressively weaker. It is the most convincing proof that final victory cannot be long delayed. The Nazis and the Japs are up against 1t now but they are doomed to suffer much more crushing blows in lo45 unless they surrender internationally.
 POSTWAR OBJECTIVES
 Victory ever Hitler and Hirohito will not, however, end Iaborss re responsibilities to the cause of free dom. We will not consider this war won until our chief postwar Ob- jectives are won. These are:
 1. Establishment of permanent peace under world democracy.
 2. Jobs for all in peace-time America.
 In order to assure lasting peace the American Federation of Labor will insist that the principles enunci- ated in the Atlantic. Charter are re- spected and followed in the terms oi the peace. Unless we accord justice tc the peoples of all nations, unless we give them eve-v onnortunity to work out their postwar problems through free and democratic elf-government another war is sure to follow. Terri torial partitioning of weak nations mass deportation of populations an6 the suppression of freedom are Nag methods which breed only hate and strife. Such methods must not be practiced by the United Nations.
 NATIONAL UNITY
 To create jobs for all in America after the war ends requires new upsurge of national unity among the functional groups which make up our economic life. Labor, in .dustry and agriculture must work together with the government to achieve this paramount postwar goal. Narrow seIf-interest must be subordinated to the general wei fare if we are to make any sub. stantiaI progress. In my opinion, confidence in the future can best be strengthened by developing unity of action behind the united purpose to provide jobs for all.
 Great opportunities lie ahead of us after the war ends. Tn the hope and anticipation of victory in the coming year, extend to the members of our armed forces and to the vast army ol production soldiers best wishes for a happy New Year.

NEA Telephoto.

If soldiers are loaned" by the U. s. Army to Waterbury industry, they will be skilled specialists who have had previous training to perform the particular war jobs, it was reported today. First reports that a group of soldiers would be sent here by the Army to fill vacancies in urgent production were made yesterday
 It is understood the matter of housing a group of soldiers here is under investigation, and that ap- proximately 30 will be sent here soon if satisfactory arrangements can be made.
 One source stated the brass mills will not gain from the new plan for filling jobs, and that the soldiers may be sent to foundries where greatly skilled labor is required. It is believed men who have returned from combat and others who are specifically skilled would be among those loaned temporarily for the in- dustrial work.
 The soldiers would serv- as spec ialized tool-makers, die-makers, or would hold various other "key" jobs in war production, it has been in- dicated.
 Spokesmen from several plants de- clared today they are interested in the project, but no definite arrange ment were reported.

WIFE DEFENDANT IN $5,OOO SUIT !.
Husband Alleges Eviction,
 RepudiatiOn of Agree F ment on Savings

Claiming he was evicted from their home by his wife more than three years after he began to turn over all of his earnings to her, John Wuent of Naugatuck today filed a $5,000 civil action in superior court against Emelia Gotlibowski Wuent, also of Naugatuck.
 The complaint states the couple was married April IA, 1941, and took up residence at the defendants property at that time. The plain tiff turned over his weekly earnings to his wife and also rendered serv- ice as a carpenter, plumber and painter on her real estate, he claims. It was their agreement that all of their money and property would be owned equally by both. he alleges.
 His wife started divorce action against him after she evicted him in June, the petitioner states in pointing out she repudiated their agreement.
