Konferencija "rada" i

Ma "a. augusta stize (AP) vest
il Wasningtona koja glasi:
"Vrhovne industrijalne rad

Pod gornjim naslovom napisao

Clanak Sc pojavio ovoj zemlji

sledeci nacin: '"Tehnika da Sc

A mi bi ispravili gospodju
Thompson, dodajuci, da oni ne
cekaju izbora da "uniste celu
dalnju opoziciju''. Oni to ucine
pre- izbora.
Ali posto Je zapadni kapitali-
zam, narcotic americki, JOS u

what the Navy describes as work preparatory to the vessel going in- to inactive status in the inactive feet" The Paddle is an illustrious Electric Boat Go. submarine launched on Dec. 30, 1942. She is the first of a number expected to proceed to the plant for overhaul work.
 MT. Hammond served in wartime construction at the Victory Yard of the company as assistant to O.. Pomeroy Robinson, vice president of the company and general man. ager of the Nelseco plant.
 A native of Vermontville, Mich, where he was born on March 21, 1887, Sales Engineer Hammond, who was graduated from the Uni- versity of Michigan with a civil engineering degree in 1909. had wide experience in structural steel work in shipbuilding and general contracting before becoming a member of the Electric Boat Co. organization on July 13, 1922.

This year $19,579 was gwen Dy the Company and executives and, when payroll deductions have been completed, the total given by work CTS at the yard will probably ex- ceed $8,5OO. While the latter is only slightly more than one-half the amount the committee sought to raise, it represents generous giv- ing by many and the committee feels that it has no cause to regret that the admittedly high goal which they set proved to be an impossible one. In spite of the high quotas set 301 exceeded it's quota and Departments 306, 3O8, 345 and 46, 414 and 16, and 400 exceeded 90%o of theirs.
 In most of the other departments and particularly in the larger ones the average contribution was smaller and the percentage of non- givers was greater than it was last year.
 This year a greater number of contributors specified how their contributions was to be diveded than in any previous year.
 The agency most frequently crossed off by contributors who marked their cards was the Law renee and Memorial Hospital which 1O9 contributors excluded in their contribution.
 In a letter to Co-Chairmen Kelly and Farina thanking the commit tee, department clerks and union stewards for their work in the campaign, S. Ferguson, Jr., of the United Welfare Committee com ments on the campaigns success as folloys:
 T hope all who solicited con- tributions and all who contributed to the United Welfare and National War Fund will take great satisfac- tion in the outcome of your 1945 campaign. While there were a greater percentage who did not give this year and the average

Snyder Tells Congress Lifting of Controls Would Be Re-

Speaking to Congress through his chief ''trouble-shooter," Re- conversion Director John w. Sny- der, President Truman served no- tice he wants to retain for an in- definite period his power to con- tinue rationing, priorities, the draft and other wartime controls.
 Revocation of these powers, Sny- der declared, would be a serious threat" to reconversion. He prom ised, however, that no control will be exercised "one day longer than is absolutely needed. y
 The request met considerable op- position among members of the House Judiciary Committee, which is considering legislation declaring the war legally at an end. The main objection is to continuing Selective Service.

Postwar Expansion
 The Electric Boat Co.,, which de- livered 92 of the 100 modern sub- marines to the Navy in time of war service, now has more than 4,000 persons employed, and it is hiring workers for a number of departments. Included among those being hired are inside machinists, painters and painter cleaners, iron modlers, foundry helpers, outside electricians, outside electricians helpers and patternmakers.
 It was announced that the com- pany has received the contracts to deliver prefabricated steel for the construction of two bridges for the Wilbur Cross highway at Hamden. Part of these contracts include F plated girders, each 120 feet long. Each girder will weigh Is tons. Three railroad cars will be re- quired to transport the single gir- ders to the bridge construction sites.
 Head Start on Structural Steel
 The company recently supplied steel for the construction of an airplane hangar at Rutland, Vt., and for sawmill at Wallingford, Vt. It has a steel work supply contract in the construction of a Veterans hospital at Togue, Me, and it recently completely supply ing steel for alterations at the plant of the Westinghouse Elec- trio Co.,, at Springfield, Mass.
 Also the company is fabricating steel structures for the construc- tion of new building for the United States Finishing Go. at Nor wich. In New London, it supplied the steel for the reconstruction of Danny Doyle's restaurant, and it will also deliver the prefabricated steel for the big garage of the Schaller Motors Co.
 The company is also estimating on prospective construction of a number of civilian vessels of vari- 0us types and sizes.

contribution from those who gave was below that of last year, the fact that, with the conditions pre-. vailing at the time of the drive, three out of four contributed and those who contributed cut their contributions less than 15% is con- vincing evidence that workers at the yard believe in a single yearly
 drive for the communitys welfare agencies and that they will sup~ port it generously with hard give ing as well as with easy giving"

Last Var LOan Drive At Electric Boat 0 Success

Practically complete reports from all campaign divisions indicate that the total raised in the 1945 United Welfare and National War Fund campaign will be about $1O5OOO. While this is short of the goal set for the campaign it is only 15 less than last years record total and favoraby with the results of Community Chest campaigns in other communities this years
 Until payroll deductions have been completed the exact amount raised by the Electric Boat Company division will be known, but it will be about $28000 Whie expected this is substantially less than last years to- is the largest amount raised by campaign division again than Oequarter of the total raised!

sion had consisted of the throw
ing of missiles, including empty
beer bottles, stones, pieces of
coral and, upon two occasions,
hand grenades, into the camp
occupied by four Navy Base
Companies located on the side
of the Agat-Sumay Road near
the Navy Supply DepOts. In ad-
ditiOn there had been repeated
attacks by white Marines upon
Negro servicemen when the lat
ter had gone on leave into the
town of Agana.
''The majority of the officers
of four Negro Navy Base Com
panies were distinctly inferior.
When their men had reported
acts of aggression against them
to these officers nothing what
ever had been done by the Off
GERS except attempts to dismiss
these reports, as unworthy of in
vestigatiOn or action. AS a re-
suit the Negro Navy personnel
were led to believe it futile to
report such attacks to their COM
handing officers. As I frankly
stated TO the Board of Inquiry, /
believe such failure to report
assaults and insults based on
skin color was a mistake on the
part of the aggrieved men. l
shared then and share now their
belief that no corrective action
would have been taken"
The NAACP letter also cited to
Mr.. Hensel the very light sentences
given to white men convicted of
crime on Guam in contrast to the
sentences imposed on Negroes.
