 T appeal to all my fellow citizens In the cities and in the country tt carry out the reorganization of the nation within the law" he said.
 Linhares' wife two sons and pret. ty brown-haired daughter Lea crowded around and congratulated him following the ceremony.
 Candidates Present
 Also present were Foreign Minis ter Leao Veloso, Air Minister Brig Gen. Armanto Tromowski and Brig Gen. Eduard Comes, one of the candidates for president in the De. cember elections.
 Linhares said that he had not had time yet to consider appointment oi a cabinet. However, 1t appeared likely that Veloso would retain the foreign ministry.
 veloso told the United Press that he anticipated mo untoward diffi. culties" regarding recognition of the new government by foreign govern. rnents.
 Brazil had been seething with rumors of possible revolution foi several months. Although Vargal had announced elections for Decenl- Der and asserted he would not be c candidate to succeed himself, many clements feared he was plotting an extension of his long rule by dee cree.
 Appointment Sets 0if Fuse
 The explosion finally was touched of yesterday by Vargas appoint- 'fnent of his brother, Benjamin, as police chief for Brazil. Known aS the presidents Mailed Fist'', Ben- jamin long had been feared for his readiness to use force on the Slight- est preteXt.
 Army generals interpreted the ap- pointrneTt as c tipof that the elec- tons were to be postponed and gathered in Goes Moflteiro's oface for conference on strategy.
 Goes Monteiro announced his resignation aS war minister in pro- test over BenjaminS appointment, but consented to the generals plea to continue as supreme commander of the army and immediately order ed military units to strategic build ings throughout the city.
 Fully supporting Goes Monteiro and at his side during the emerg- ency meeting were both presidential candidates in the December elec- ton, Comes and Gen. Eurico Cas- par Dutra, Justice Minister Agame- non Magalhaes and Gen. Firmo F'reire, the head of the presidents military household.
 Supreme Court Takes Over
 The Navy and Air Force also pledged their support to Goes Mot- teiro.
 Gen. oswaldo Cordeiro FaiaS, chief of staff to Goes Monteiro, went to the Presidential Palace with Magalhaes and Freire to deliver the ultimatum to Vargas.
 Cordeiro Farias told Vargas that the armed forces were determined to turn over the government to the Supreme Court pending elections, but wished to avoid fighting. Vargas gave in.
 Simultaneously, Joao Alberto Lins De Barros resumed his former post Of police chief and Benjamin Var. gas disappeared from the scene after only c few hours in oftlce.
 Lins Barros told newsilen that the police would support Goes Monteiro and the new government.
 T am disposed to maintain lib- erty and assure the rights of the people," he said. T will follow the same line of conduct for the police with the advent of the new govern- ffaeflt."

 Mental RecOnverslOn Needed
 One industrial leader summed ur the trouble in these words: "Wt don't need to worry about recon. verting our plants. We've got that problem licked. What we need Is 6 'reconversion of the mind"
 Despite the uncertainty of the present, every industrialiSt we met Twas optimistic about the economic future of the nation. They were confident that the greatest peace Dime production boom in the rla- |tion's history was at hand and that 1t could start rolling almost over. night if the restraining factors could Joe eliminated. They cited these favorable factors:
 1. The war left Q legacy of the greatest industrial plant the Ila- ton has ever had.
 2. New mass production tech- niques a lot of them shot.cuts- were learned during the war.
 3. New kinds of products have been developed and older products have been improved.
 4. Many industries are going to have to expand their plant and dis tribution facilities to meet the great pent.up demand for consumer goods
 Labor Problem Perplexlng
 Above all, industrialists generally were disturbed about the labor situ. ation. Lahor's demands for high CT wages at this time were particu- larly disconcerting, they said, be. cause the government continues tc what they consider a rec strictive price policy. Without ex- ception, the industry men say they could not grant any substantial wage raises without increasing prices.
 In many industrial centers, es- pecially in the West and Midwest with the exception of the Detroit area--imanufacturers claimed they were unable to recruit all the la- bor they needed. Some said they didn't know the answer to this. Others contended that workers were taking a vacation" after the ardu- oris war work and were taking ad- vantage of unemployment compeil. sation. Still others said that work men were shopping around" for easier jobs.
 Although generally critical of the national Administration for its fail- ure to enunciate wage-price pol- cy more promptly, the industry men were universal in their praise of the government for it's expeditions handling of the plant clearance problem. We found government and inventories in only } few plants and these were inter- version.
 Auto Industry Progresses
 Here is. a brief summary of re. conversion as we saw 1t irE some of the nations basic industries:
 AutOmoblles-In the Detroit area, Ford, General Motors, Hudson and Packard were producing cars on c limited scale. Production rates in all these plants could be boosted sharply except for parts shortages due to strikes at suppliers' plants will soon have one half- mile assembly line operating, with , second line coming in some weeks.

 He said he saw no improvement in the moral progress of the world as 8 result of the last or any other wars, and warned that a realistic attitude would have to be adopted if the United States hoped to achieve world cooperation in stead of permitting international gang sters to take over.
 we must take the nations of the world as they are, the human pas- sions and prejudices of peoples as they exist, and find some way to secure for us a free America and a peaceful world"
 A inilitarily strong America was the only answer, Marshall said, because other nations would never respect 6 weak nation as a leading force for global unity.

Harry Feinn1ark Calls For Improvement Of States Unemployment Compensation Act

While organized labor is highly gratified that the General Assem- bly passed a workable State Labor Relations Act and that Governor Raymond E. Baldwin signed the measure, it hopes, according to Harold V, Feinmark, secretary treasurer of the Connecticut Fed eration of Labor, that the state leg islature will take prompt steps to carry out another recommendation made by the Governor in his in- augural address, namely, the lib- eralization of the states Unemploy- ment Compensation Act, including the coverage of employers who em- ploy one or more employees and the extension of the payment pe- riOd.
 The Connecticut Federation of Labor, Feinmark explained, has pro- posed amendments to the Act to in crease maximum unemployment com pensation benefits from $22 to SPA a week, to extend the maximum pay ment period to % weeks, to bring within the scope of the law employers of one or more employees and to al low State, County, City and Town employees to be included under the Acts provisions if they so desire.
 ''There are indications said Feinmark, ''that Governors and legislatures of other states are agreed upon the necessity of lib- eraIizing their Unemployment Compensation Acts. For example, in Pennsylvania Governor Edward Martin has proposed to the legis- lature that the maximum weekly payments should be increased $2 week and the maximum payment period heightened by four weeks. In New York both chambers, the Senate and the Assembly, have adopted amendments increasing maximum benefits $3 week and extending the payment period to 26 weeks, while in Massachusetts the House of Representatives has voted to boost maximum cOmpen. sation payments $2 week and the maximum duration of benefits to 26 weeks"
 Chairman Arthur J. Altmeyer of the Social Security Board, the A. F of L. leader pointed out, several months ago urged that state legisla- lures should improve their unemploy- ment insurance laws. "1e declared at that time," said Feinmark, "that unemployment compensation properly strengthened and expanded would provide a genuine first line of defense for workers and the country in the reconversion period. MT. Altmeyer also said: Far sighted employers will

As We See It
 by THE STAFF

IMPORTANT developments in the field of organizing are in the works in Connecticut. Harry Fein. mark conferred Saturday with John J. Murphy, New England Regional Director of the ALL, on the wide field for organization opened by the passage of the State Labor Re- lations Act. Many unOrganized workers are ready and anxious to join ALL. unions, and planning to meet this situation must begin inn mediately, Feinmark says. More details later.

Common People Pin Their Hopes OnSanFrancisco
All Pray For International Organization To Put An
 End To War

SAN FRANCISCO-Hopes of the common people of the world hang in the balance as delegates of more than 40 United Nations meet to decide whether this generation, having waged the worlds greatest war, can do as we'll in peace.
 Every race, every tongue, every color, every creed but fascism is represented as the nations debate the proposals of Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin for an international organiza- tion to nip aggression in the bud, to prevent wars and to become labora- tory for the discovery of means to make a world where no one will need or want to fight.
 Proceedings of the opening ses- siOns are filled with the fOrmalities and with the presentation of the plans proposed and already under worldwide discussion. Little of the meat of the conference is likely to come until objections, amend ments, counter-prOposals, have gone through the mill of commit tee meetings and come back for adoption or rejection.
 Along with the committee meetings and the formal debates here, discus sions are going on in every town and hamlet in America and in the world.
 Women's clubs, business clubs, schools, radio forums, newspapers, but above all labor unions and their press are bringing the details of this proposed world security or. ganization to the common people. telling them how it is planned no, only to stop fighting but to prevent it. Not only to prevent wars, but to prevent their causes by working to create a better living for the population of the entire world.
 Standing over the conference is the figure of the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt, conceded the chief ar chitect of the world peace plan. But even larger figures loom above the delegates; the millions of dead soldiers, civilian workers, children dead of starvation, foes of fascism tortured to death.
 It is not for the phOny "peace in our time" of Munich that San Francisco works. It is for the peace for generations that President Roosevelt sought.

ALL LOCALS PRESENT
 Every A.F.L. union in New Ha. ven had its delegation at the hear ing. Clergymen representing three denominations spoke for the meas ure There was no opposition of any kind.
 Harold V. Feinmark, secretary. treasurer of the Connecticut Fed eration of Labor, introduced the speakers. The clergy who asked the adoption of the ordinance were the Rev. Edward J. Shea. pastor of St. Bernadette's R. C. Church and members of the Diocesan Labor Institute; Rev. Francis B. Barnett of All Saints Episcopal Chuch and Rev. Frederick C. Allen, pastor of the East Pearl Street Methodist Church. The Rev. Robert L. Tucker of the First Methodist Church, wrote that the Methodist Church recognizes the right of workers to unite for collective bargaining.
 All spokesnlen for labor stressed that the proposed ordinance pro- hibits work stoppages or strikes. The oath that police and fremen and others take when they assume jobs of public responsibility supercedes any other obligation. Sgt. James Dooley of the Hartford Police Asso- ciation (AFL) and others said. They recognize, he and others said, the difference between municipal and in- dustrial unions.
 T have seen many instances where private industry refused to deal with its employees on an equal basis" Fein- mark said. That sort of thing is be- coming less frequent. The fact that our City government has before it legislation which recognizes city workers as responsible people, is a great satisfaction. City workers too long have been deprived of rights that others have"
 Pres. Vincent J. McCovern of New Haven Central Labor Council, was unable to attend, because of the meeting being held by the City's Permanent War Memorial OOMH1lttec, O1 WHICH Hc IS mcm' Der. He issued the following state. ment:
 Organized labor asks that the city of New Haven enact this ordi- nance as a matter of simple justice We have come to recognize that workers do their best when they be long to organizations of their owr choosing, where they can use their joint efforts to benefit not only them selves, but their employer as we'll. IT this case, the employer is the city o New Haven, of which we are all citi. zens and taxpayers.
 ''City employees should have tho same rights as all other people They have the same respOnsibilitie. as all of us have. If they wish te join a labor organization, they should have the full right to do so This right they have, but organized
