OOUll COllCCl 1lO llQNC olOSAOoNS AS stated here previously Navy Ordnance contract nominations are expected here within short time in addition to the Army cut-backs already in effect.
 Three "SOlutions"
 Cong. Joseph E. Talbot yesterday conferred with WIPE officials in Washington at which time the fol- lowing three possible solutions to the problem were reviewed:
 1-Holding off on further cut backs for 60 days, giving industry chance to get set for peace time production.
 2-Further reallocation of war orders.
 3-Resumption of production of civilian goods immediately.
 Meanwhile the WIPE has an- nounced it's intent to relax controls on peacetime materials as soon as feasible. Critical shortages in New England affecting Waterbury are said to be in sheet steel, tin, lead, fine wire, textiles and lumber About 264 controls on materials re- main on the WIPES books it was disclosed although 156 others have already been released.
 Further cut-backs are forthcom- ing. it was stated, with at least oO per cent greater cut-back expected in the next quarter of the year and 30 per cent more in the fourth quarter. However, these cut-backs while sharply affecting war produc- ton will also tend to release con- siderable materiels now under re- striction.
 As pointed out here previously local industries, at least the major ones, are prepared to re-convert put are unable to obtain materials to manufacture peacetime goods be- cause of the WIPE restrictions.
 The majority Of the workers re- leased to date in all industries are women workers who entered indus trial production at the wars onset Of the 225 workers laid off at the Waterbury Mfg. Co, only 07, tc date, have been part time workers The majority dropped at the U. s Time also have been women work CTS.
 1000 Jobs Available
 Meanwhile similar results are be- ing felt at such shops as the Matta- tuck Mfg. Co.,, Plume & Atwood Risdon Mfg. Co.,, and of course The Scovill Mfg. Co.,, attempts are being made to assimilate many of these workers in other departments ol within other local businesses. Mrs Mary A. Dewey, war empower d. rector for this area has revealed that over GOO jobs are available to which these laid d-off workers will be for Warded.

Commissioner Frank CoSkey, state boxing and wrestling boss, was near ly TRAPPED by @ cleverly- Worded letter that told but half the truth, in connection with the New York Boxing Writers dinner last Wednes- day in the Hunter Room of the Rup- pert Brewery. Al Buck, president of the NY fight critics, invited Coskey to the affair, telling him that Gen eral Phelan is the guest of honor !" or course, the PRINCIPAL guest of honor was It. Commander Benny Leonard. awarded the Eddie Mel Memorial placque as the "man who has done most for boxing in l944" but President Buck conveniently forgot to mention Leonard, probably knowing the ex-lightweight champ is barred for life in Connecticut be- cause of his part in the Mann Me Coy stinkeroo at Bridgeport several years ago. Coskey WENT for it, but found out, before the dinner that LEONARD was the real guest of honor. So, using admirable judg- ment. the Connecticut commissioner checked out of his hotel and caught the 6:10 train for Hartford.
 Oh, yesl The boxing scribes gave Millionaire Mike Jacobs a WRIST WATCH for his HELP to boxing in l944. Poor Mike usually goes by the CALENDAR rather than watch, but those New York boxing writers (aside from our MT Parker must show their appreciation----or else!
