Manpower Controls
 Remaining In Effect
State WING Director Fitzgerald Issues Statement to
 Eliminate Confusion Over Conflicting Reports

Declaring that because too much confusion exited due to reports that manpoWer controls would be lifted in certain areas of Connecticut after July 1, State Director William J, Fitzgerald of the War Manpower Commission said today that he learned from the Regional Office of the WING that no such action was contemplated for Connecticut.
 MT. Fitzgerald said that insofar as he was informed manpower controls would continue in all areas of the state after July l unless &C., ton to the contrary was recom- mended by the Labor Management Committee in given area and the notifications approved by the Area, State and Regional Directors of the WING.
 The State Director said that mod ifications of the WING stabilization program. were made in certain cities of the state upon the recommenda- ton of Labor Management Com mittee with the approval of the Area and State Directors, only after a study of the given area revealed an easing in the labor conditions. Controls over women were lifted in many areas upon action by the La bor- or-Management Committee and the WING Area and State Directors. Approval was given these amend ments by the Regional Office of the War ManpoWer Commission in BoS- ton
 The manpoWer ceiling over males was suspended for 90 days in Hart ford on the recommendation of the Labor Management Committee with the approval of the area, state and regional directors An easing labor situation in Hartford due to cancel l lations of contracts, and the fact that some $500 jobs were open at the USES office resulted in this ac- tion
 MT. Fitzgerald said that the mis- understanding over manpower con- trolS came as the result of an an- nouncement from Washington after VIE Day, that controls in all three and four areas would be abolished.
 The modified tions of controls in any areas in the state will be acted only on the recommendation of the Labor Management Committees in each area. These recommendations are subject to the approval of the area, state and regional directors
 MT. Fitzgerald said that deter imitation of whether or not controls will be amended will depend entire ly on the labor market situation in each area, and will be based on the supply and demand of manufactur- CTS for manpoWer.
 The State Director said that the minimum 48 hour week will be con- tinued on an area basis except as modified by recommendation of the Labor-Management Committee with the approval of Area, State and Re- gional Directors of the WING.
 Where conditions warrant a change in teh stabilization pro- gram, we will make such recom- mendations for necessary modifica- tions immediately

All current contracts of the CIO will expire as of that date. The new contracts contain blanket terms for all factories in an attempt, by the CIO, to facilitate negotiations. IT. this manner all disputes referred to the War Labor Board may be negotiated jointly.

DeCLSlOn JO eSCdDllSu VOCdIAOIldl school was reached at meeting last week of state and local author ities.
 Started In 1942
 The WPTC was opened in March of 1922 as federal sponsored in- dustrial training quarters for wal workers and potential draft in- ductees. At that time and for year and half later the local cen- ter was administered by the state and city. Edward J. Stepeck, state vocational department associate formed the school and acted as its supervisor for that period.
 The city under the late Thomas M. Conlon, disbursed the fedora. funds made available for the cen- ter's operations. James M Moore was named acting disbursing off, Der by MT. Conlon. Incumbent City Controller Neil F. Maloney then as- stunned the city's duties until the entire school was taken over and administered by the state in ac- cordance with national ruling ap- plying to all similarly federal-spon- sored training centers.
 Mir Calvin was appointed super visor in 1914, to succeed MT. Step eek when the latter returned to Hartford to help organize a special training study-course for Connecti- cut. MT. Stepeck now is the author of book issued by the state on training methods.
 5000 Instructed
 A total of over 5000 students" men and women, were trained at the local center during it's history MT. Calvin stated. The majority were employed by local factories as green help and then forwarded to the center for preliminary training
 While no claims ever were made by the authorities that a trainee left the center as skilled mechan- ic or machinist marked success was shown in the grasp of the funda- mentals of machine shop practice by these green workers.
 Tt was more than sending peo- pie out into industry knowing the right end from the wrong end ol a machine, MT. Calvin stated. Tt meant expediting the need for in- dustrial workers in this area. By assuring the responsibility oi breaking in these people, as to ma chine shop methods, most of whom were entirely unfamiliar with thi! field, we offset breakage and pro. duction costs for local industrie. which were common during tha, period of a trainee's schooling.
 Tt has been highly successful venture" he emphasized.
 Courses were conducted day and night at the local center with schedules calling for training hour. from ' a. m. to p. m. and 6:3C p. m. to 9:30 p. m. Daytime sched ules were followed six days pel week. All training was free tc trainees.
 The center contains over 3( pieces of major equipment which, a. stated, will be transferred to helr establish a state trade school fol Waterbury.
