numerous considerations have arisen which make it seem unlikely that the West Indies natives will be brought here. He stated no new de. velopments were reported to him to. day and that 1t appeared the plans for importing the workers would be halted.
 Efforts to obtain housing for the workers in Shelton failed when an objection was raised in the city. The government then sought accom. Odations in other surrounding towns. and the latest report today was that suitable housing had been found In Southington. Tho transportation factor has not created serious diff. culty. but the question Of meals in S0uthington or elsewhere Is be. liered to be the main drawback now.
 The native workers were secured by the War Manpower Commission after all other efforts to alleviate the shortage at the plant failed. It was believed the Barbados men would be well qualified for the heavy foundry work.
 Mir. Dibble said the shortage Of workers at the plant continues to be serious and the need of workers is still as great as 1t was when ar- rangements were first started to bring the natives here.

SMALL BUSINESS
 SEEKING LEADER
Voice Confidence in Don. aid Nelson; Protest Fun.
 bling at Critical Stage

Boston. Mass, Aug. 30.--'Wanted --a Quarterkack Go call the signals % that only one man carries the ball" declared E. ]. Stewart, Jr, president Of the Smaller Business association Of New England tc,lay. Copies of wires sent to the White House about the Nelson Wilson mat ter, poureds into our office from small business in all parts of New England yesterday and today. These wires showed very clearly the great confidence that small business has ia Donald M. Nelson. chairman Of the War Production Board. because the report that Mir. Nelson was to be sent to China for several months galvanized the small business man into action"
 "fntra-aeency controversy Is most unfortunate at time when vice tory in Europe seems 90 clearly in sight. and it is too bad that we have had a costly tumble at this point We must have enlightened leader ship now to balance the demands and needs of the military and the home front. Tell American business the facts and they will deliver the goods. withholding part of the facts only creates confusion and under mines the confidence we should have in our leaders"
 No one mas denied that there are mounting stock-piles of raw ma terials. and hundreds of communi- ties know that changing war pro- duction programs have released workers with skills not needed in the surrounding communities for var production. A busy home fron. is q united one-the only kind tha. wins wars. Mir. Nelson's original plan for a gradual reconyersion should be started NOW without any fanfare and wide publicity. Jobs are at stake--a good weeks pay today and tomorrow for returning soldiers and sailors. Let's all pull together and tury the hatchet. not in each other. but deeper into Germany ane Japan"

HINTS OF COP.
 PETITION HEARD
Independent Candidate for Senatorial liOnOrs in 18th
 District RunlOred

Further evidence Of apparent dis. unity within the local Republican party appeared today in the form of reliable reports from local COP members that an independent Rec publican candidate may be iniro- duced in the 18th senatorial district in opposition Co incumbent Repllb- lican Senator Francis Summa.
 Sources today stated that a peti- tion may be introduced among the district voters to request the filing on the ticket Of an independent member. Under state election laws. names of district voters in amount Of one per cent of the total vote cast in the 18th district last election must be filed with the city clerk and later to the state secretary not after Sept. s. To inject the name of aa independent" candidate at this time would require but IFS names or one per cent of the total Of l7,- 5s7 votes cast last election.
 Whether or not this proposal had developed beyond a discussion stage could not be determined this morning. It had been reported that opposition had been shown within the party among independents" to the renOmination of Sen. Summa.
 As reported here previously sharp differences of opinion are said to exist among local COP members although these have been denied by party leaders. Etill persistent is the report that Floyd Rasmussen seeks the party's candidacy as state senator from the 18th district but vas opposed by Town Chairman Vernon Hall. Both Mir Rasmussen and Mir. Hall denied these reports although local party members today stated that MT. Rasmussen was still hopeful that some compromise mirht be effected. The two had sharp differences Of opinion follow ing last falls city may0raity can- paign when Mir. Rasmussen, who was campaign manager for the de- feaied COP candidate. John Kear- ney, accused party leaders of fail- ure to support his candidate.
 It is expected that the Replibli- can party will announce within a week the name of a candidate to oppose Probate Judge Patrick Hea. icy. It is generally conceded throughout the city that Judge Healey will safely retain his pres ent post in opposition to any can' didate, this fall.
 Former State Senator Edward P Egan and Patrick Wallace are the Democratic choice for the senator ial posts from the 18th and 18th districts respectively.
