Baldwin Back On Job TodoY

Hartford, Conn, July 1l-(UP)- Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin, who has been home with cold since return ing from the governors conference at Mackinac Island, Mich, last week, was on the job at the capitol today.
 Among the two weeks accummul- ation of work facing him were near@ ly 10 bills adopted by the l945 gene eral assembly which he must sign or veto, and the problem of the statute revision commissionership.
 The governor was expected to take some step to resolve the situation which placed John M. Bailey, Hart- ford Democrat, and Elmer W. Ryan, New Haven Republican, in the corn- cissioner's office simultaneously.

Camden Ship WeIders Out

Camden N. J., July 11-(U.P0- Construction of warships at the New York Shipbuilding Corporation virtually was halted today as ap- proximately 5000 welders continued a strike for second day.
 The strikers failed to report for the 8 .. m. shift. However, about D. 900 of the welders appeared at the ward and milled around the gates. 1t was reported they would meet with Thomas w. Saul, executive secretary of the Local l, Industrial Union of Marine and Shipbuilding Workers, (CIO) who was expected to repeat his plea for a return to work.
 The walkout threatened to para lyze production at the yard. About i5,000 other employees were thrown into idleness by the strike. The latter appeared for work today but it was believed they would have nothing to do.
 The stoppage started yesterday among acetylene welders, reportedly because of failure of the National War Labor Board to approve their request for $168 per hour basic pay rate. The rate now is $1.34 an hour.
 The walkout grew as burners, electric welders and tackers joined the acetylene welders in sympathy move.
 Although officials of local No. 1, Industrial Union of Marine and Shipbuilding Workers (CIO) re- ported about 5000" men quit work, some of the workmen leaving the yards said that nearly 15,000 em- ployes were idle.
 The yard normally employs ap- proxinately 18,0O0 persons on each of two shifts during the day, but only . small maintenance crew is retained during the night.
 Thomas w. Saul, executive secre- tary of the union local, said the strike was unauthorized and that union officials urged the men to re- turn to work. A company spokesman said the management had received . no official information on the cause of the stoppage.

pointed out the defense appeal papers had already been drawn up and the bulk of the appeal work had been completed. Do you need an assistant from now on?", he asked.
 In response to a question from Judge Alcorn, the defense attorney said he interpreted the statute in question to mean the public de- fender may be reimbursed for any expenses incurred in the usual course of defense.
 In that regard. States Attorney William B. Fitzgerald, who was present for the hearing, commented that in an ordinary case the public defender would go along and incur expense and then see if the court will approve it. He said that in the Zukauskas case it would not be feasible for the public defender to incur expense which he might later have personally to sustain. The expenses are expected to run into many hundreds of dollars.
 The prosecutor also pointed out the chief justice of the high court had dWelt at length on the par ticular stature involved at the spe., cial hearing conducted in Hartford March 6. States Attorney Fitzger- aid had favored granting of the motion
