 On Record

Employees of two more area plants, the A. H. Wells Co.,, Inc, and the Risdon Mfg. Co.,, in Naugatuck have authorized the CIO to petition for a National Labor Relations Board strike vote.
 The Wells Co.,, vote yesterday was 72 to l in favor Of requesting a strike ballot. The 75 workers of the plant, who staged an unauthorized walkout Thursday. were expected to return to work Monday. Failure of the company to adopt an incentive plan is the basis for the action.

Every day Social Security Board offices throughout the country are visited by men and women who want information and advice on their social security accounts who want to know their personal stake in the Federal insurance system. Each one is interesting, but out of the many who come there are always few who stand out above all others. Each week we choose the most interesting among them to tell you about in this column, without, of course, mentioning any real names. And here's our selection for this week.
 The visitor who made the great est impression this week was a robust, middle-aged woman, whose husband had died recently. I will call her Mrs. Ludlow. In the course of our conversation asked her whether she had any children. She quite staggered me when she ans wered, I've got twelve
 Well" I said, it must be some thing to take care of twelve chill drenI looked at her with the ad- miration one always feels for the mother of a large family. And I asked her about her husband employment.

 Our visitor was silent for a long moment At least she said, T don't want you to think that I'm com plaining. I'm glad to get anything $70 month isn't much for thir- teen people but it will be great help. Two of the children are working now. We live on farm and most of our food is home grown. I think we'll get by"
 She gave me the children's ages. then explained to her that it would be best to file a claim for the four youngest children. "As each of your children reaches 18," said, "his benefits will stop. So when the first of them loses his benefits. you can file claim for yourself, and the amount for the family will continue to be the same till the next child is Is. After that it will be less. It will stop alto gether when the youngest child reaches 18. That will be in May, 1862, almost seventeen years from now"

Through confidential diplomatic channels
there has come report from Paris that men,
bers of French mission which recently accom-
panied Gen. De Gaulle and French Foreign
Minister Bidault to Russia, where an alliance
was signed, expressed astonishment on their
return over the imperialistic spirit, atmosphere,
tone and manner they found In the Kremlin and
Moscow.
They allegedly declared that Moscow was
more imperialistic than ST. Petersburg ever had
been under any Russian czar.
Still more interesting was the statement ir

They Reap as They Sow

Hitler and the German people are expert
encing that immutable, causative law, old as
mankind "As We SOW. soTye shall reap, which

harvest of hatred and destruction

government had offered Stain RAF heavy
bombing squadrons TO bomb German cities and
towns in eastern Germany had up 10 Wednesday,
so far as known brought no acceptance from
the Red dictator.
His armies were doing very well as it was.
Stain has consistently refrained from a
campaign of bombing German and Austrian
civilian population centers.
Whether this was a well thought out policy
or was due to lack Of requisite heavy bombers
is a point upon which Moscow has remained
silent.
The momentous, historical drama of
Europe, in the convulsions of its sixth year Of
epochal war that will change the political social
and economic face Of this continent, is rapidly
