Reds Purge Producers

Moscow, June 26 - CUP) - The Soviet press announced today q purge of factory directors, engineers and accountants throughout the country who have been faking pro- duction figures, receiving Illegal bonuses, misappropriating factory funds and converting state property to personal use.
 The announcement was carried in all of the central Moscow newSpa- pers and reported that the Ministry of State Control was carrying out the purge and committing the di- rectors, engineers and accountants to trial.
 The report occupied three col- umnS in the press and said that managers and accountants are be- ing purged in enterprises situated as far east as Tomsk, Siberia.
 The press reported that the Ministry of State Control has ex- amined the financial and economic activities of a number of enter prises, institutions and organiza- tionS."
 The report cited series of cases where factory directors, production managers and accountants conSpir- ed to fake production figures in or der to gain illegal bonuses. In other cases the individuals simply nlisap- propriated funds and articles.

Kennecott Strike Ends

The strike in progress since Jan, 21 at the Utah properties of the Kennecott Copper Corporation has been ended and production has been resumed. The settlement insures a free flow of copper to the Chase Brass & Copper Company here, a Kennecott subsidiary.
 Movement of ore to at least one of the mills is expected to start to- morrow. All units will be placed back in operation as soon as possible. but 1t will probably be at least sev- eral weeks before full production is restored.
 The mine strike was directed against the Utah Copper Company, a Kennecott holding. Settlement terms were not announced but there seems no doubt that workers receiv- ed wage increase of 181s cents an hour.
 Recommendations made by Fed eral fact-finding board had been disputed by the management, and the strike continued for weeks after the board had made it's report.
 The Utah Copper Company is the nations largest producer of the red metal, and its return to production will help the brass industry as a whole to get into full-scale opera tionS again.
 Two weeks after the miners went on strike in Utah, local employees of the Chase Brass & Copper Company began @ strike that was not settled until April 5. When Chase resumed production April 8 1t had to depend on reserve supplies of copper.

State Towns Taxes Go Up

Hartford, June Con- necticut towns may find 1t neces- Sary to increase their local tax rates to compensate for tax exemptions to World War II veterans, State Tax Commissioner Walter w. Walsh indicated today.
 Walsh announced results of sur- vey made of the 16e towns which showed that boosts of less than one mill to more than four mills may be required.
 He said, that if the 228, ,194 veter- ans should have property against which their tax exemption may be applied, this would represent total exempted valuation of $251, ,O93 ,OOO. On a 25 mill tax rate basis, this could result in a tax loss of $6,175,- 325.
 Walsh added that tax loss from disabled veterans might be nearly $2,000,000, and that exemption of veterans from payment of old age assistance can result in a tax loss of $684, ,582 to towns.

By RAYMOND J. FITZPATRICK

ny kNtAxWAQNO J. Ell AG AAuNAOM
 In an election whose importance transcends the comparatively small number involved, white collar work CTS at the Ansonia Division, Amer ican Brass Company, were ballot ing today on whether or not they wish to be represented by the Mine, Mill 8 Shelter Workers Union, CI.O., as bargaining agent.
 Voting, under the supervision of Field Examiner Ernest Modern, be- gan at brA. M., and was to end this afternoon. Approximately 280 were eligible to vote.
 The outcome of the first M.M.S.W. attempt in this area to win recognition as bargaining agent for white collar groups will have major bearing on union plans for further organizational drives in the ranks of office workers and clerks in the Naugatuck Valley. The balloting should also furnish 8 clue as to the reaction of ron-union employees to the prolonged strike against the American Brass Company in Wa terbury, Ansonia and Torrington.
 Salaried office workers in Ansonia were casting ballots of one color, while non-salaried ofiice help and clerks employed throughout the di- vision were casting ballots of diff ferent hue. Under this type of elec- tion, known as the Globe Plan, the union will bargain for both groups as a unit should it get majority from both.
 Should the union win a majority in only one group, 1t will represent members of that group, while the other group remains without a bar gaining agent. If the union Is re- jected by both groups, there will be no change in the status quo.
 A victory for the M.M.S.W. in either or both groups at Ansonia will serve to spur the membership campaigns planned among Amer ican Brass white collar workers in Waterbury and Torrington. The union plans to follow it's A.B.C. drive with campagins among white collar groups in other plants here and throughout the Nangatuck Val- ley.

Jump in Bills Expected Soon

Washington, June 26-(UFD-s An O.P.A. official who opposes the pending O.P.A. Bin today estimated that a typical family with @ 5000 a year income would have these increases in the cost of living during the next year:
 @25O for food because of the cut in subsidies.
 $10O on clothing because of the termination of the maxi- mum average price plan and controls over raw cotton prices.
 $125 for rent on grounds that landlords cannot be isolated from the rest of the economy although rent controls are pro- vided in the bill.
 $l30 for miscellaneous items, such as beer, movies and doctor bills.
 SiOO to $500 if the family buys an automobile.

Slate Not Definite COP Bubbles Ouer With Post Seekers
(By Democrat StaR Writer)

Hartford, June 26-The Connecti- cut Republican Party today ap- peared to have an abundance :. ot aspiring candidates for national and State positions following last nights meeting of the COP. State Central Committee held here.
 While nothing was done about the dates for caucuses and conven- tions, 1t was reliably learned today that these tentative dates will bt proposed:
 State Nominating convention. Sept. 0-lO, ct Hartford.
 Congressional District CU11~
 ventions, Sept. M.
 CaucuSes to nominate to the
 State Convention, Aug. 20.
 CauSuseS to nominate for
 State Representatives and Sen-
 ators, Sept. 8.
 No Slate Picked
 Although no actual State slate was chosen, or even clearly indicated last night, delegation rAmors built up strong arguments in favor of the potential candidates of various well-known party names.
 Rep. Joseph E. Talbot -Naug0 who has avowed his down-the-line candidacy for the gubernatorial nomination, seemed to be losing ground according to reports from the delegates and associates. Con- gressman Talbot, 1t is said, has strong popular vote among many delegates but has not the formal support of top party leaders who, in final analysis, will probably dictate the ultimate choice for the post.
 As reported in The Waterbury Democrat a few weeks ago, strong development for the support of Rep. Clarge Booth Luce for the post is now out in the open. This development was given Dooo 1(EnP\
