Plan Affects Labor Unions
Bv CHARLES H. HERROLD

Washington. June - U.PD - The government prepared new moves today in it's lates crackdown on labor union and employers for defiance of War Labor Board orders.
 The object was to prevent any weakening of the administrations labor management policy which would interfere with all-out produc- tion for the defeat of Japan,
 Stabilization Director William H. Davis was said to be ready to recommend government seizure of additional properties or to impose economic sanctions in more than . score of cases where the parties re- fuse to obey WLB directives.
 President Truman directed seiz- ures of West Virginia and Texas Oil companies yesterday. They were the fourth and fifth companies taken over in 10 days. In the same period Davis imposed sanctions on two clothing firms and bus com- pany. This device was used only once previously by the stabilization direction in three years.
 MT. Truman has ordered eight seizures in less than two months, in- cluding a San Francisco shipyard, two southern textile mills, Chicago truck companies and Pennsylvania's s anthracite mines. The late MT. Roosevelt directed only 28 seizures in 40 months to end labor disputes.
 Many of the cases before Davis have been pending for some months. He was said to feel that further de- lay would endanger the continued success of the governments policy for peaceful settlement of labor management disputes in wartime
 The new drive to obtain compli- ance with WLB directives developed when it appeared that congress had abandoned intentions of enacting legislation for enforcement of WLB orders. James F. Byrnes. former War Mobilization Director, and his successor, Fred M. Vinson, advo- cated such congressional action after the Chicago District Federal Court held that President Roosevelt exceeded his authority in the seizure of Montgomery Ward and Company properties in seven cities.

Lawmakers Ignore
 Minor Court Posts

Hartford, Conn, July 7-UP)- The general embly, getting around the statutory adjournment hour of midnight by stopping the clock, remained in session until nearly dawn today before calling it quits.
 It was exactly 4:07 a. m, when the lawmakers poured out of the Sen- ate and House for home after one of the longest work days in the his- ory of the legislature.
 Before they left, the Senate con- cured with the House in passing .he states biennial budget of $780, slrmed the governors appointments 15O,648, and the war budget of s1 s1,5O0,000,000, and the Senate con- of Attorney General Francis A. Pal !otti and of John M. Comley of Stamford as judges of the superior court.
 They refused, however, approval of the nominations of Col. Elmer S.. Watson, Wethersfield, as state mo- tor vehicles commissioner to suc- ceed John T. Mccarthy, Newtown, whose term expires June |; and of Elmer Ryan, New Haven Republican to replace Democratic state statute revision commissioner John M. Bai- ley, Hartford.
 Also blocked were the governors

Army.
 Brig. Gen. Guy I. Rowe, com- manding officer of the installation, says the principal object of this testing program is to determine what materials give the best per- formance under strain, and to test finished articles from the manufac- turers to see that they meet Army specifications.
 The Army needs, he added, were determined by studying and ana lyzing field reports from observers in the various theaters of opera tions on needs imposed by climatic and other conditions. Additional data is obtained from actual per- formance tests with equipment lent to the college and professional ath- leteS for contests.

reappointments of State Tax Com missioner Walter W. Walsh; State Milk Administrator Donald O. Ham, merberg, and Public Utilities Com missionre Joseph P. O'Connell, all Democrats.
 The minor court judgeships, the principal bone of contention of the entire session, were ignored and left to Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin for in terim appointments. Constant breakdown in the judge ship negotiations between the two parties brought a threat from the governor that if they were left to him he would distribute them on a flair and equitable" basis. The posts must be filled by July l when the present terms expire.
 The Senate was heatedly arguing the big budget when statutory ad- journment hour approached. The hands of the clocks were stopped at 11:03 p. m., and nearly two hours later the budget was enacted after the House refused to accept Senate amendments.
 A 'baby budget" of $658,002 also was approved.
 The balance of the time was con- sumed in clearing the calendar of the must" bills.
 The bill creating state aeronau- tics commission to have control over all aeronautics activities, except manufacturing was killed in the senate after getting safely past the house.
 The senate went along with the house in approving measure set- ting up a fund for the study and care of inebriates by imposing ten per cent tax on all liquor permit fees. The senate held out until the last minute for a sales tax on hard liquor.
 Another bill, creating a three member commission to negotiate with New York state for the an- nexation of Fishers Island to Con- necticut also got last-minute ap- proval of the senate.
 The so-called pardons bill, requir- ing a majority instead of unanimous vote of the pardons board for re- lease of an inmate of state prison, was passed but was expected to be vetoed by the governor.
 Approval was given by both sen ate and house of resolution creat- ing a state farm coordinator, al- though it was opposed by the Demo- cratic leaders in the senate.
 The house finally concurred with the senate in renewing the gover- nors emergency war powers, effec- tive after adjournment. This was another of the bills to drag through the entire session before it was passed. The senate blocked it un- til Tuesday, contending that author ity to suspend laws in behalf of the war effort rightfully belonged to the general assembly while it was in session.
 Adjournment found scores of bills still unacted upon or dead in com-

 The statement followed the gen eral trend of other organizations opposed to peacetime conscriptior who testified yesterday.
 While opposition witnesses hac their first day, four wounded wal veterans told press and radio repre- sentativeS that compulsory training was vital to an adequate defense.
 The four veterans appeared at a meeting called by the women's board of the national committee for military training-a group claiming 1t wishes ito vocali1e a ma iority of the people of this country" on the subject.
 Marine Sgt. William J. McSnerry New York, told reporters: Let those who fought at Guam, Tarawa New Guinea and Guadalcanal tell us whether We should have uni versal training and we'll have it."
 He said that because of lack of proper training American troops in the early days of the Pacific wal were "the suicide squads of Amer lca's unpreparedness."

 The depot tests all athletic equip ment, procured by the Army, and has assembled the largest collection of sporting goods testing equipment in the world.
 Besides a driving machine and baseballs, softballs, footballs and golf balls, there is a "whacking" machine for testing fatigue and the burst-abrasion resistance of tennis balls.
 Another machine slices golf balls better than the worlds champion beginner and a drop hammer att tempts to flatten baseballs with a smack that makes Stan Musials wallops seem like love taps.
 There is even a plot of impreg- mated soil in which are conducted "burial' tests for the study of pre- venting mildew in sporting goods. When pieces of equipment run this gauntlet and survive they are classed as good enough for the
