All effort can now be directed
toward reconversion, the making
of jobs IN civilian production for
those who have been employed
under war contracts. The imme-
date release of manpower con-
trolls, the end of gasoline and fuel
oil rationing and such steps as
have been taken are indicative of
the governments decision to re-
lease controls as rapidly as possi-
BILE. i.
Congressional Committees will
begin Immediately to make studies
so that reconversion laws already
on the statute books may be sup
plemented. In addition to the very
important consideration of meas
ures to provide employment and
cushion the critical period by ex-
panding unemployment compensa-
tion, there will come a very thor
ough reorganization of the whole
government with immediate deci-
sion on which war agencies are to
be done away with and which will
be merged with permanent agen-

Bv FREDERICK c. OTHMAN

Washington, June - CU.Po - The suggestion has been made (and I am gladly passing 1t along to whom it may concern that our con- gressmen need some advice on how to hoist their wages.
 They're arguing about giving themselves each $2500 extra per year in the form of a taX-free eX- pense account and they're bloodylng noses in the process. My economist says this is a perfect example of what he's talking about. Why pay Congressman anything when hes debating whether he ought to raise his own wages? My man says he ought to sweat that one out on his own time.
 Piece work, he said, is the answer for congressman - modified some what to fit their particular trade.
 The idea, as get it, is to pay 'em fee for each law passed and per- haps (my expert admits this needs further study) a fatter fee for each law voted down. The fewer laws they made more money they'd earn. Who. my specialist asks, could kick about that?
 He'd also put congressman on a kind of sliding g-scale commission basis, something like shoe salesmen in reverse. They'd get their slice of every appropriation but the bigger it's size the smaller their share. This o1c would tolyo fnI1t-iru man continues, but it should save money. He calls it his incentive plan. It works out like this:
 A congressman who spent $1,000,- 900 would receive $1,000; if he spent S1OO0O,000 he'd get maybe 20 cents order at that so it would be nui- sance cashing it. These figures, of course, are approximate, but my ac- countant says they give some idea of the geometric ratio.
 The rest of his pay-for- men program is not so important | (to anybody but the lawmakers themselves) but you may find it in- teresting:
 He would give congressman gen. erouS allowance for sick leave, but anybody who started a fist fight and wound up with a black eye of his own would have to pay his own doctor bills. He'd also be docked for every day he stayed home with beefsteak on his glimmer.
 Speeches on the floor would be worth money, but not much. A three minute speech, however, would bring more than a three hour oration, while the man who did the least talking during the year would receive at Christmas a substantial bonus.
 No congressman would be forced to punch a time clock but he would be put on his honor to spend not more than one hour at lunch and no time at all for coffee after he got to the office.
 The lawmakers who passed the fewest laws, made the lowest ap- propriations and delivered the shortest speeches would have the highest incomes. A good man could earn up to $50,000 a year and, &C.,

Tuesday Is Major Glenn Miller Day
Theaters to Boast Bond Sales Activities in Honor
 of Great Entertainer.

Tomorrow. Tuesday, June 5, the vast theatrical industry will pay tribute to one of its own heroes, Major Glenn MillerS in placing par ticular emphasis on 7th War Loan Bond sales that day.
 Theaters throughout the nation, from the smallest hamlet to Broad ways greatest legitimate places will do an "all out" effort to promote the sales of bonds in memory of one of it's own great.
 Miss Julia Smith, local chairman of the motion picture war activities committee said today: Waterbury theaters will exert every effort to increase bond sales within the thea ter Tuesday, for not only was Major Glenn Miller known as great en- tertainer nationally, but he is close to the hearts of many Waterbury people as a grand person in addi- tio to his ability as an entertainer. (Glenn Miller appeared here at the State theater, in person, during the 5th War Loan drive)
 Continuing, Miss Smith said: T am sure that Tuesday will be g. red letter day for bond sales in all local theaters for the theater man. agements and the public alike will this day show their appreciation for the many happy hours his music has brought us"
 Miss Smith once again emphasized the fact that the motion picture theater is the only bond issuing agency where bonds may be pur- chased day or night, Sundays and holidays.

The survey, which is predlcated upon Waterburys employment needs the year after the wars end, namely '194X" and not 1945, states that approximately 25 per cent more workers will be needed than in 1940, 1n local industries and 10 per cent more in mercantile tablishments.
 Lawrence Duryee, chairman of the local committee, which is af- filiated with the National Commit tee for Economic Development e. E. D., declares While the sur vey results are most gratifying 1t is important to bear in mind that during reconversion, and slackening Of war production, the employment situation in Waterbury will be changing constantly just as it will in all parts of the country"
 Management Coincides
 Management repre Il tatives, many of whom are members of the committee, today expressed hope that the surveys outlook would bear fruit and not be hampered by un- foreseen economic developments be- tween now and the year "X''
 Such a condition is problemati- cal, as yet" one industrial spokes- man declared
 Labor representatives likewise ex- pressed the same hope but took a more pessimistic outlook declaring they felt it wiser to adopt the pes simistic attitude and be wrong than to assume an optimistic attitude and be wrong"
 While fully appreciative of the efforts of the committee, labor feels that too optimistic an outlook tends toward relaxation of the critical employment situation on the part of the public,' Harold Senior, C1O editor and representative, stated.
 We feel no survey is complete un- less the factor of the inroads on purchasing power, resulting from cut-back employment, is considered Our problem is not the conditions of the year after the war but the interim when unemployment begins to again rear it's ugly head, MT Senior added.
 This is in no way controversy with the committee, the CIO spokesman declared flor we are in accord with the expressed hope of the survey and endorse their efforts in at- tempting to analyze the conditions to-be. But we can't help be more alert to such conditions as that re- vealed to us today when we were informed that the Colt Mfg. Co.,, in Hartford will soon, as result of cut backs likely to be reduced from a perconnel staff of 15,000 to about 1900"
 Fewer Volunteers
 The survey, however, relative to the year after the war declares that Waterbury concerns will evidently be in an excellent position to absorb the city's employable workers.
 About 4,00O to 5000 persons now on war production work in Water bury who have been so engaged, because of patriotic reasons, from l94l-45, will return to their homes and not seek employment, it has been estimated by the survey re- suits.
 Members of the Post War Plan- ming Committee of the Waterbury Chamber of Commerce have been carefully studying this situation for more than a year. They are MT

cording to my planner, would be well worth it.
 If all congressman earned that much under the system, and the author of some hopes that eventual ly they would, the millennium would have been reached. There wouldn't be much left to worry about.
 I wish, of course, that I could re- veal the name of my social plan ner. If his program receives the ac- claim he expects, he will step for ward and receive the huzzahs. If however, some congressman not in sympathy with his reform goes after him with meat axe, he prefers for the time being to remain anony- nous.

Coast Guards Release Story of Historic Inva=

BY FRANK FARRELL, SIP. 20 Coast Guard COrrespondent

At an Advanced Base in the Pa a;fic (SpeciaD-Coast Guardsman William J. Curley, s 1C, son of MT. and Mrs. E. " Curley of 129 Wash ington street, Waterbury, Conn.,, took part in the invasion of Two and OkinaWa. The Coast Guard manned LIST to which he is assigned bears the unusual distinction of having been in the middle of two of the most bitter battles of the war, and yet not having had to fire a shot.
 Said Curley, We were lucky at Two, although we did have some holes punched in our bow by close-hitting mortar fire. Nightly air raids kept us awake but the Japs did not come near us."
 Guardsman Curley is presently spending a furlough at the home of his parents in this city.
