Unions Fail In Flight or Recognition
 City of New Haven
 Denies Exclusive
 Bargaining Rights

A ruling similar to the one made by Corporation Counsel Maurice T.. Healey on bargaining rights of po- licemen and firemen has been made in New Haven in relation to all municaipal employees.
 The New Haven corporation coull- Sel, George G. DeCenzo, has ruled that municipal employees have the right to organize to submit gr1ev- ances but do not have exclusive bar gaining rights.
 The local police and fire boards recently agreed to hear delegates as citizens" thereby offsetting recog- milton of the pollcemens and fire mems unions as bargaining units.
 Mr. DiCenZo referred in his ruling to the State Labor Relations Act which excludes municipalities from its provisions. He stated
 ''The reasons for this are obvi- ous. The relationship 'eXisting be- tween city government and it's employees is quite different from the relationship existing between private employers and their en- ployes. Ordinance 2l5 goes far in recognizing the right of muni- cipal employees or organize as they please and to present grievances without interference; but one can not read in it exclusive rights of collective bargaining as commonly understood. Had this been the in- tention of the Board of Aldermen 1t would have been a simple mat ter to write a provision for elec- ton of representatives
 "A government has duties to perform for the general welfare of all; and 1t Is obvious that eX- elusive collective bargaining as usually understood cannot apply to public service and employment which involves the public finances. It is money of the whole people.
 Organizations of municipal ern- ployes have an appropriate and healthy place in city government affairs. The justified desire of mu- nicipal employees for reasonable working conditions, fair and im- partial consideration of complaints and grievances, fair salary adjust ments. and an amicable labor re- lations policy is natural and no different from that of employees in private industry Exclusive bar- gaining rights, however, present an entirely different situation and this is not sanctioned by law in government"

 Reached In Final
 Farley

A strike scheduled to begin this morning at A. H. Wells & Company was averted when the company management and negotiating committee of the c. I. O. Mine, Mil & Shelter Workers Union yes- terday reached agreement on the terms of a new contract.
 A wage increase of 18 l-2 cents an hour, without conditions, will be received by approximately 120 mem- bers of the bargaining unit.
 Business Agent Joseph McEvoy of Local 251 said that an incentive system dispute that had existed since 1943 has been settled. Non- production workers will receive pro- duction bonuses, he said.
 Wage negotiations between the union and the Benrus Watch Com- pany will be resumed at ii a. m. Tuesday. Under a wage reopening clause in contract signed last Sep- tember, the union seeks a wage boost of 18 1-2 cents an hour. The coinpany's highest announced offer has been one of l5 per cent.

Potmon Bill Given Rough Going Over
 Veterans Loan
 Officials Fear
 Housing Problem

Washington, April 19 = (UP)- Veterans Administration Loan Of- flcials feared today that homes built under the Veterans Housing Program will go to civilians because ex-servicemen won't be able to get CT loans to buy them
 A VA loan expert said he believed @ majority of the under-$l0,000 homes will be so overpriced that VA appraisers cannot okay the sale. Thus builders may hold the homes 30 days, as required, without finding veteran taker. Then the homes could be sold to civilians.
 Meanwhile, the Patman Housing Bill was getting rough treatment in Senate-H House Conference Com mittee. It is on this bill that the Administration has pinned its hopes of building 2,7oO,000 new homes for veterans during the next two years.
 Subsidy Provision Cut
 House conferees baked at a Sen- ate provision earmarking $500, 1000, . 900 for subsidies on scarce building materials. They also opposed guar anteed markets for prefabricated homes. The House cut out the Sub- sidy provision. It was reinserted by the Senate after MT. Truman called 1t "the heart of the housing pro gram"
 The Federal Housing Administra- ton, which issues prlorities and sets ceiling prices, ridiculed fears that Gl's wouldn't be able to buy homes. officials conceded, however, that prices are based on informa- ton supplied by the builder, with out an inspection Of the property.
 They said FILA has no way of en- forcing veterans preference in the sales. Neithear does 1t keep any rec

 Against Local
 Mans Estate

A judgement of $3,l2O was made by Judge Patrick B. O'Sullivan iiI the Bridgeport Superior Court Wednesday for Mrs. Mary Luciano of Westport in her $l5,o00 non-sup- port suit against the estate of hei late husband, Patsy Luciano of Wa terbury.
 Mrs. Luciano claimed she had re- ceived no support from her husband since she left him in 1884. She saic she left him because of mistreat- ment. The court pointed out that the statute of limitations would not permit Mrs. Luciano to recover for support due her only for the six years pending his death.
 A recent will contest in the Luci- ano case ended in favor of the es- tate in Superior Court here. Mrs, Luciano was not a party in the will litigation.
 Attorney Albert J. Bronsky, ex- ecutor of the estate, was represented in the litigationS by Attorney John D. Thoms.

 I ate with a Mrs. Tetley, whose meat pie was good as far as it went, and proved once again that a prophet at home is a bum. Mrs. Tetley had a cup of tea with me and we got to talking about Shake speare. Most of her life she's lived in Stratford, but she has not yet seen one of his plays.

Shakes peore Season Opens RepertOry Season

 Stratford-O -On-Avon, Eng, April l9-(UP)-I, am standing today at gravestone in Trinity Church. Sixteen feet below me lies the great est writing man that ever lived If this story Is better than usual, you can thank William Shakespeare.
 The odor of apple blossoms if waiting through the door. White swans are gliding on the river Avon. Kegs of India Pale Ale are rumbl- ing into the cellar of the Dirty Duck Tavern. Actors down the street are rehearsing Loves La- bor Lost"
 The Shakespeare industry under the leadership of Sir Archibald Flower, purveyor of culture and light bitter beer, is about to re- sume for the 1946 season. I do not know which Is more important to Stafford-Shakespeare or Sir Archie-hut between them they have brought to life summer nights dream.
 Fearful Man Let us first consider the grave- stone of Will Shakespeare, Gent Chats what 1t says) So fearful was he that sextons might disturb his remains that he also had carved these words: ..n Good friend, for Jesus sake for-
 bare
 ITO digg the dust enclosed heare. "Bleste De ye man ty spares thes
 stones
 And curst be he ty moves my
 bones"
 That's telling 'em, Elizabethan fashion. The current caretaker still is miffed at Shakespeare's opinion of sextons. Reluctantly he sold me for 10 shillingS rubbing of the words on the stone which I intend to hang over by bed in Washington, D. C.. as a caution to my bride not to shake my bones when I'm trying to rest them.
 Stratford (aside from Sir Arr chies brewery exists on the Shake speare business. That's enough. It is a joyous business, and the hordes of Britishers now gathering for the opening Saturday of the repertory season get their moneys worth.
 The first two performances are sold out at the theater on the banks of the Avon, and I guess Shake Speare has written a hit.
 Exhibits Explained
 The house where he was born, which also operates under Sir Arr chic. has been brushed out and Stratfordians are stationed in every room to explain the exhibits. These

ord of who finally buys the vetsr- ans homes.
 Veterans organizations called for tighter controls. The Veterans of Foreign Wars said 1t is imperative that FILA follow through on appli- cations 1t approves for authority to build veterans homes.
 E Watch Construction
 Omar Ketchum, v.FW. Legisla- tive Director, said FILA should watch construction almost as care- fully as It does on homes it finances. It should also make certain the homes actually are made available to veterans, he said.
 VA officials, 1t was learned, have conferred with FILA on what VA considers a wide-open loophole in the building program. They want FILA to make thorough appraisals before approving ceiling prices.
 FILA said 1t lacks manpower to make a detailed investigation of the proposed construction. The builder offers simple drawings of his pro- posed home or apartment; he fills in one form, detailing building plans. He states his desired prices
 On the basis of this information FILA either okays or rejects the ap- plication and price. Where the price is believed out of line, the builder Is invited to substantlate his figure or to lower 1t.
 Identity Withheld
 The VA offcal, who declined to be named. said the result of this system Is that ceiling prices bear no relation to appraised valuation. VA-designated appraisers will be
