tries and the peril of costly coml husiness-is entirely eliminated.
 Decentralized mass production, as the technique Is known, is typified in the Ford Ferguson farin-equip- ment organization, operated by Harry s. Ferguson, Inc.
 The Ferguson organization is one of the country's top producers of farm equipment, including the Ferguson tractor. Yet 1t owns no factories, controls no assembly lines and owns no sales agencies.
 Partners" Keep Control
 Hundreds of private operators, producing equipment in their own plants, make up the giant enterprise under the Ferguson name. These partners" are irtegrated in the Ferguson system without surrender ing ownership or control to the master company.
 The Ferguson organization counts 1l0 individual, home-owned indus tries as partners in the Ford -Fergu- son m-equipment line. Robert M. KyeS, Ferguson president, ex- poets that number to reach 800 ir Q year.
 Tn applying It's decentralization concept, Ferguson actually nurturef private ownership of small industry A teamwork exists in which full productive capacity of the small factory Is utilized through the en- gineering advantages offered by the big partner.
 Ferguson provides top-grade en- gineerS, lasS-assembly techniques and an assured distribution for oil members of the system. The plan welds Into Q single farm equipment line oil the resources of many small manufacturers.
 Output Under Contract
 In many cases these Tnanufac- turers have lacked markets, pro- duction skill engineering ingenuity to assure profitable operaton.
 Under the decentralization sys- tenn worked out by Ferguson, the small factories simply produce ele- ments of the Ferguson three-way- hitch farm-equipment line. Their production Is bought by contract and they are spared both the fret of producing e marketable item and the chore of obtaining markets.
 Ferguson provides: low-cost man. agement methods; skilled engineer Ing in design of the product; low cost engineering on production: assured costless distribution. This gives the smallest unit all the know how of the rich Ferguson engineer Ing staff and Q known market be- fore 1t ever produces an item,
 Ferguson also is able to supply financial aid If needed. mass pur- chasing advantages and assembly, line producton methods. The plan puts to work the existing facilities the existing labor supply and the existing home-owned management.
 No Loss In Incentive
 The interests of stockholders and managers of the small partners are ncurished Small ''middletown' communities throughout the nation keep the benefits Of busy factories and the honle-ogned operator.

are partners in big business out loss of any of the profit or in- centive, yet without many of the risks.
 Kyes, the Ferguson executive, be- lleves the plan makes for 0 whole- some American economy, strength ening particularly the free-enter- prise system and the snall-city so- ciety which are keys in the nations character.
 Yet in many communities today these small factories are turning out products which are combined in one of the country's biggest or- garizations in one of the country's biggest industries-the farm-equip- ment buSness.

Hirohito To Meet
 M0cArthur?

San Francisco, Sept. 26.-(UP)- Emperor Hirohito will make Q per- sonal call on Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur early tomorrow morning at the American embassy in Tokyo, CBS Correspondent Tim Leimert said today in a broadcast from the Japanese capital.
 The correspondent, quoting "in- formed quarters close to the imperial household" said the visit probably would be in the nature of a "cour- tesy call," rather than @ flill-fedged discussion of occupation problems.
 Hirohito earlier had confirmed re- ports that he would meet with Mac- Arthur in the near future but Amer ican officials had denied that Q meeting had been scheduled for the embassy.

program for improved legislative procedure. Several hopeful changes were actually made in the joint rules adopted at the l045 session. We re- gret that the good effect of some of these rules, especially those provid- ing that bills be available in final printed form before passage and as- surfing @ public hearing on bills raised in committee, was largely off, set by the repeated passage of bills under suspension of the rules with out these formalities. The evils re- sulting from the congestion of legis- lative business in the concluding days of the session are greatly mag nifled by the public'S inahility-not to mention that of the memb:rs of the Assembly themselves-to know just what the measures are which the Legislature has before 1t, Noth- ing has yet been done to reduce the flood of special legislation, much of 1t trivial, which crowds the Assenb- ly's calendar. No decisive steps have yet been taken to relieve the Lsgis- lature of the strictly nonlegiSlative job of making minor judicial ap- pointments. Annual sessions in themselves will cure none of the causes of those serious criticisms which haze been directed toward the Legislature of i946. There would only be more frequent occasions for similar criticisms.
 Following Through
 If all the essential changes In ieg- islative organization and procedure had been made, there would be lit- tic reason for opposition to the adoption of annual sessions. Annual ssssions at this time, however, are not a real necessity, On the prin- clple of first things first, that change should await the accomplishment of other reforms. Certainly anyone who votes for the proposed amendment should ct the same time commit himself to full use of his influence to bring about those reforms in our legislative procedure which with an" rlual sessions would be more imperas lively needed than ever. And we in- sist, If the legislature receives from the people 6 mandate to hold an- nual sessions, that 1t be bound to carry through the work begun In the ie46 session not only by adopting better rules and procedures, but by living up to them as we'll

 A. The only explanation is that you are doing work which is still considered a military necessity. Such work as contract termination and Kenegotiation is still considered es- wential enough to keep men in the service.
 c. The Army has told us Q lot mbout re-enllsting. I wouldn't mind ss % much. but ! would hate to koin for the full three years. Is it woaslble to enlist for . shorter time?
 A. Congress is now considering a bill which would permit enlistments for Q year, but 1t has not been passed.
 " WhWt WpOut UIHcerS WnO are ezlgible for discharge on the point system who might want to stay en active duty? What would be the eondltion of such duty?
 A. Officers eligible for discharge under the point system who want e stay on active duty will be rec a1ired to sign the following State- Aaent: Regardless of any eligibility which I may have now, or in the future, for relief from active duty under Readjustment Regulations, 1 elect irrevocabiy to continue on ex- tended active duty for the duration Df the emergency and six months, unless sooner relieved"

Issues MuoLued M Prop0sedAmendment
 Sponsors Propose Connecticut End
 Bi-EnnioI Sessions of LeqisIoture

Connecticut has had biennial ses- sions since 1887. This fall, at their town and city elections, the people will be asked to vote for or against a Constitutional Amendment substi- tuting for the present five months session every two years annual ses- sions of little more than three months, beginning as at present on the first Wednesday in January and ending on the Wednesday following the second Monday in April Before making up their minds on this im- portant question, they should take a good look at the Issues involved.
 Types Of Arguments
 There are strong argum:nts for and against annual sessions.
 Arguments For Annual Sessions. 1. They afford more frequent oppor- tunity for the enactment of con- structive measures. 2. They provide somewhat more time for the consid- eration of legislation. 3. They make 1t unnecessary to delegate so much of the Legislatures authority to the Governor and other administrative officers. 4. They make for sounder budgeting and more effective finance ial controls, a biennium being admit tedly 8 long period over which to estimate accurately prospective in- come and expenditure.
 Arguments Against Annual Ses- slons. 1. They double the frequency with which business, administrative agencies, and local governments are afflicted with the disturbance and uncertainty of e Legislature in ses- sion. 2. They are more costly, Dur ing recent years the biennial seS- sionS in Connecticut have cost in the neighborhood of $525,00o, With the proposed annual sessions the total time would be increased by several weeks for each two-year per- iod and the cost would probably be from one-fifth to one-third more than the present system, not includ- ing the 92,400 increase in legisla- tors pay proposed by another amendment. 3. The concensus of opinion among the states favorS bic ennial sessions which are in vogue in 42 states besides Connecticut, only five having annual sessions. The fact that Massachusetts, which had adopted the biennial system In 1888, voted to go back to annual sessions last November does not mark Q trend toward annual sessions. The new and much praised Missouri Constitution adopted in February l945, provides for the continuance of biennial sessions. {, Without Q drastic change not only In the rules but in the habits of the Connecticut Legislature there would he the same congestion of legislative activity every year in early April that there is now every other year in June, and with similar results. 5. Granting that 1t is easier to budget accurate ly for one than for two years, no material change for the better in Connecticut hudgeting can be ex- pected unless the organization and procedure of the Legislature in A. nancial matters are conStruetively changed.
