 CUTS LIKELY
Waterbury Tool Co. Ex- poets to Carry on With-
 out Drastic Changes

The recent announcement that the Navy expects to drastically cut its warship building program will not create a widespread layoff in the near future at the Waterbury Tool, division of Vickers, Charles A. Granger, manager, said today. Em- phasizing the fact that many of the proposed contracts had b c n planned to provide equipment for the Navy through 1947, MT. Granger stated that the 75 per cent slash in Navy projects wah bound to affect production at Waterbury's only Navy industry sometime in the future, but that the Tool is planning to con- tinue with it's present personnel for some time to come. The Waterbury Tool manufactures hydraulic equip ments for ships of all types.
 Though it has been rumored that a number of employees have been discharged at the Aurora street plant of late, MT. Granger stated that not more than 100 persons have left the employ of the company, since Jan- uary 1, and of that number 8 great many had obtained releases through state employment channels.
 Approximately 30 part-time work CTS were released two weeks ago. The group comprising lawyers, teachers, and other professional and office workers, worked from to 10 D. m,

protected. The Army has not yet taken an official position on the bill.
 It is also expected that there will be spirited discussion over the question of American citizenship. The Pro-Independence Congress asks that all residents of the island at the time independence is grant, ed must become citizens of Puerto Rico, unless they are continental Americans. There are many Puerto Ricans, especially in the wealthier classes, who have stated a desire to retain their American citizen ship even in an independent Puerto Rico, and they are expected to make themselves heard.
 Also, about 75,0OO Puerto Ricans have been inducted into the armed forces of the U. s. since the start of the war, and 1t is felt they will be reluctant to give up their vet eran's rights and benefits. An amendment has been proposed which would give them the same rights as Congress will allow any other American citizen who served in this war.
 Puerto Rico became a part of the United States at the same time as the Philippines, when the Treaty of Paris was signed in 1899 at the end of the Spanish American war.

Wilson FIoys
 Meat Low

Washington, March 29-CUP)- Thomas E. Wilson, handsome, white-haired gentleman with a twinkle in his eye and a pearl in his tie, identified himself as a manufacturer of acids, boxing gloves, medicines, cheese, gelatin, and tennis rackets.
 And good thing, too. The chairman of the board of Wilson and Co.,, one of the largest meat packers in the, world, said his com- pany was losing money on every beefsteak it produced.
 We are trying to keep our heads above water" he told the Senate Food Investigating Committee. but it's getting close to our breathing apparatus now
 Another two years of OPA reg ulations now in force, he said, and there won't be any Wilson and CO.
 We can't keep on running our business" he told the senator's We just can't. It isn't fair. It isn't American"
 The hearing room was damned with meat packers, live stock grow CTS, newspaper reporters and sen- ators, all feeling confused over the many conflicting statements about the meat shortage. One woman brought her three-year-old son to the show. Two uniformed cops stood at the door. The senators peppered Wilson with questions about the black market (which he said was tremendous) and OPA regulations (which he called amaz- ing).
 Finally Senator John H. Bank head of Alabama harumphed and said:
 MT. wilson, tell us just what you would do today, if you were placed in charge of the OPA."
 Wilson thought this over care fully. He fingered the pearl in the cravat. He looked at his fist-full of documents. He glanced at the assistants sitting beside him. Then he announced:
 T believe l would have to go to church first and pray for help"
 He wasn't making wisecrack He meant it. The OPA represea- tatives, who had been squirmine on their cane bottom chairs all morning, relaxed momentarily. Wilson said they'd been running the OPA since the war began and
