Export Director to Be-PubIished in Spanish and Portuguese for Distribution To Buyers and Import Agents

Hartford, Aug. 30 Publication of an Export Directory of Connecti- Products" botl. in Spanish and Portuguese for distribution to buy CTS and import agents throughout Latin America, is being planned by the State Development Conmis- sion to assist industry in securing foreign trade, Gov. Baldwin stated today.
 Tn letters directed to all Connec- ticut manufacturers, the governor said:
 If we are to make full use of our industrial facilities which have been so tremendously expanded by the war and thereby maintain full employment for Connecticut work CTS, 1t will be necessary for many of our manufacturers to expend their markets by allocating at the outset a part of their peacetime production for foreign trade. If such allocations are not made and we wait for surpluses to develop, it is very likely that other countries will capture the foreign market which will be ours if we act now"
 Declaring that normal commerce will certainly be resumed first in the Western Hemisphere" Governor Baldwin said the Spanish and Port ugese directories would given wide circulation in the other Americas. All manufacturers engaged in or in- terested in foreign trade will be given equal space, without obliga- tion on their part, for listing their names, adresses, trademarks and principal products. the governor stated.
 In his letters, he asked manufac- turers to state on an enclosed post card whether they would be inter- ested in being listed in the direc- tories and to return the card to the Development Commissions Interna- tional Division which will handle the production of the catalogs.
 Governor Baldwin said that pub lication of the directories had been recommended to him by a special committee of export men more than year ago and had later been ap- proved by the commissions For eign Trade Advisory Committee, but 1t had been delayed until the Gen. eral Assembly made funds available.
 He pointed out in his letter that every facility for assisting manu- lecturers, large or small, to develop foreign trade had now been pro- vided in the State.

Fishermen Honored

Boston, Aug. 30.-(UP)-One or the best-kept secrets of the war was revealed today when the Navy issued certificates of appreciation to 500 fishermen who helped light the submarine menace in the Allan tic.
 The fishermen used short-wave radios to locate submarines and di- vert conveys away from them. Ger man U-boats, aware that they were being reported, were forced to move under water, slowing their progress in destroying Allied shipping.
 The Navy said that $40 fishing boats took part in the program which began operations out of 32 ports along the coast, between Block Island and the Canadian bor- der, May l, 1922, dissolving May S1 1945.

gram for full employment and prosperity.
 The Hartford aldermen went down the line for-The Full En- ployment Bill of 1945; the pro- posal for Federal Employment Compensation providing benefits of $25 8 week for 26 weeks; the Wagner Murray Dingell Social Secprity Bill; the 65 cents an- hour Minimum Wage Bill; and the continuance of price control until goods which are now scarce become adequate in supply.
 Republicans and Democrats on the Hartford Board of Aldermen backed the resolution with equal vigor and enthusiasm. This was a noteworthy accomplishment by the CIO in Hartford, andmaking it all the more so was the fact that, once again, the CIO ob- tained the cooperation of the A. F. of L. and Railroad Brother hoods. All the unions worked to- gether in getting the aldermen solidly behind the resolution.
 The Hartford accomplishment is unique in Connecticut SO far, but it can and should be at- tempted in other areas by CIO unions, working where they can with the other labor organiza- tions. Backing by local Boards of Aldermen is powerful leverage to get behind the CIO program for full employment and prosperity. It cannot help but make 8 pro- found impression upon Congress, to whose members resolutions of this sort or addressed.
 If you are able to accomplish this in your area, please advise the CIO State Council so that we can pass the word of your suc- cess along to others.
 Fraternally yours,
 HAROLD SENIOR.

 A member of the Medical Detach- ment. Hath Infantry, Pfc. Leopold distinguished himself on December A, 1914, when the division met the enemy blow with such determined resistance that the German time table was completely disrupted.
 Eight men of machine gun sec tion had ben hit early that day by tank and mortar fire and were lying helpless in an exposed position. Twice the combat medic tried to reach the casualties and twice he was pinned down by German ma chine gun and mortar fire. The third attempt was successful, how ever, and he gave first aid to the eight men under extremely haz- ardous conditions.
 He remained with his patients under enemy bombardTent until daritness permitted their evacuation. His action undoubtedly saved the lives of several of the wounded doughboys

 A veteran of the entire Bulge action, he also participated in the offensive in Alsace which liberated the city of Colmar from a German pocket and swept the enemy to the west bank of the Rhine. He croSst d the river late in March, 1945. when the division pierced the Siegf fried Line to join in the F,-st Aimy's final victory drive into the Reich.
 Pic. Leopold entered the service on September g, 1943,. and came overseas in July, 1944. In civilian life he conducted a real estate and insursnce business and was trafiic manager of the Benrus Watch Com pany Tn Waterbury.
 A graduate of Wilby High school, he attended the Junior College ot Commerce. Yaie University and was captsin of the debating teams in both high schoo' and college.

Dealers Turn to
Chicken Lottery

New Orleans, Feb. 9-lNS- New
Orleans wholesale poultry dealers
have inaugurated a chicken lot.
terry which they offered Thursday
to the tobacco trade as a model in
view OF the current cigaret short
age.
Each OF the wholesalers used to
get from 100 to 200 coops a day.
but now get only 80. Since each
dealer has about 40 retail custom
@ and the former sales were four
coops to a customer, there now
are not enough chickens to go
around. Hence the lottery.
The customers congregate on
the sidewalk and each writes his
name on slip Of paper. The slips
are collected and put in a hat. A
disinterested person draws the
names from the hat and each OF the
lucky ones gets four coops until
the supply is exhausted The for
tunate ones are ineligible the next
day.
1T works out fine and keeps all
our customers happy" said one of
the wholesalers. "Why wouldn't
ii work in selling cigarets?"
