recommendation made to CongrelS of the United States regarding ade- quate appropriations for the further ance of Post War Military Training and thee maintenance of a we'll trained and proficient Reserve Corps. The War Department is now in the process of formulating plans for an extensive training pro- gram which will afford adequate training to the Air Corps, Army Ground Forces and Army Service Forces. Announcements of traia- ing programs as. it affects these services will be publcized immediate ly upon it's release from the War Department.
 EnIistments Urged
 This training will not only include the Reserve Officer, but will make ample provisions for the training of the Enlisted Reserve Corps. During the interim, while the War Depart ment is considering future training plans, many officers and enlisted men are returning to civil life, or have already returned. Many of- ficerS and enlisted men are accept ing commissions and enlistment in the Reserve Corps upon separation. However, a certain percentage have not accepted and it is to those an appeal is being made to accept ap- pointment or enlistment.
 The Reserve Corps needs the skill and military experience that offic- CTS and enlisted men have acquired through their service in World War II. It needs their support to main tain well trained, experienced and dependable Reserve Army to safe-' guard the security of this country. The United States cannot afford to risk it's security by an improvised army in the event of an eYnergen- cy, neither can 1t speak with aI- thority in world affairs unless 1t maintains the means for backing up that authority. This is where you as former officer or enlisted man can play tan important part by your knowledge of the military will be of great value to the organization, and will by being member enhance your position as to advancement, training and a knowledge of new developments in military warfare.
 Data Available
 All former officers and enlisted men, who are not enrolled in the Reserve Corps are urged to contact this headquarters for further in- formation. Those officers and en- listed men already enrolled are cor- dially invited to direct any question relative to their status, either bS phone, New Haven 7-2313, by calling at the headquarters, or by writing.

.H HoteIs Fined For Charging Illegal Rents
 Hartford HosteIry
 Assessed $3,000
 For Violation

State OPA Director Stanley Crute announced today that a Connecti- cut hotels and landlords have paid a total of $14,04416 to the United States Treasury and in refunds to tenants for violations of OPA celi- ing rent regulations.
 Largest single payment for rent overcharges was made by the Gay Tor Brothers Hotel, 221 State Street Hartford, which sent the Treasury a check for 5000. Other large pay ments were made by Andrew J Brady, d/b/a the Williams Hotel 203 Golden Hill, Bridgeport, $2,400; the Butler House, 27 Laurel Street Bristol, 5000; Vito Colopietro d/b/a the Colys Hotel, 182 Main Street, Windsor Locks, $1 800; and J. Rosenblatt and L. King, 10e North Main Street, Bristol, $1,389
 Most of these overcharges were found to occur in hotels and room ing houses, which are covered by OPA ceiling rent regulations just as much as are other rental accom- modations," the State OPA chief pointed out. "Proprietors of hotels and rooming houses are required by law to post their ceiling rates in each rented room, for inspection by their guests. For their own pro lection, guests should check these rates, to be sure they are not above ceiling. If the rate is not posted the hotel or rooming house keeper should be asked to show a copy ot the registration he has filed with the Area Rent Office. If any guest feels he is being overcharged, he should contact the nearest Area Rent Office, where a list of the es- tablishment's base period rent rates are kept on file"
 Guarding against rent over- charges is more important to Con- necticut tenants today than evel before, because of today's critical housing shortage" Crute declared But effective rent control cannot be accomplished entirely by the efforts of a government agency. We need the cooperation of all land- lords and tenants. Our OPA Area Rena Offices are always available to offer help to all people who have rent problems. Tenants should make full use of these offices to report rent overcharges, and landlords should also consult them in dealing with any special rent problem"

la question of romantic spots where German peasants are interested only in dancing and singing. This is a cradle of the Nazis and Nazi theories. This zone could become the rear line of the new German Army"
 He said the Austrian claims were to be discussed by the deputies of the big four ministers at Paris May 30, and the Trench claims on May 27.
 French Claims Renewed De Gasperi bespoke grave con- cern over what he described as the ever recurrent claims by France, de- spite long standing statement by the French that they had no fur ther claims against Italy and their constant assertions of desire for good relations with Italy.
 The French claims first were pushed by Gen. Charles De Gaulle, he said, and then by Frances new nationalistic party-the Commun- iStS."
 First they asked for the valley of the Aosta, he said, and piece by piece their claims expanded until now they want the zones of Pic colo, San Bernardo, Mount Chaber- ton and Moncenisio Di Terra De Iccabia, including hydro-electric basins furnishing electricity for Italy,s northern industries. De Gasperi said he agreed with French Foreign Minister Georges Bidault at the Paris conference that both countries should study the frontier problem without power to make binding decisions. Tn the light of the agreement, he said, the an- nouncement that tbe Italian posi- ton would be presented to the depu- ties May 2T was Somewhat stirpris- l ing"

employers spokesman says, every mill had given the raise
 TO FIND GOING TOUGH
 This sequence was cited by a veteran labor leader as illustration of the smooth technique" by which, he said, Greenville area em- ployers have convinced most work CTS that they would be foolish to spend money on union dues, be- cause they can get just as much without.
 The C.I.O. cannot duck Green ville," he said. They must try to unionize here. And they are going to find the going hard. There will be no nightsticks and terror ism. They will just find most workers as disinterested as the employers will be reluctant"
 The U. s. Labor Department de- scribes textile work as one of the nations poorest paid, particularly in the South. A Bureau of Labor statistics sampling last December indicated that the average textile wage in the North was 85 cents an hour, in the South 69 cents. Secretary Lewis B. Schwellenbach says a survey last summer showed about half million textile work CTS receiving under 65 cents an hour, and another 100000 getting under 75 cents an hour.
 The CLOS goal is understood to be minimum wage of 65 cents an hour, by contract, regardless of the fate of the wage-and-hou law amendment pending in Congress.
 The AF.L.'s goal, as stated by Southern Director George Googe, is "the highest wages we can get"
 Unlike some sections of the country, down here the A.FL is re- garded as being at least as ag- gressive as the C.I.O. in essential labor unionism, and almost lilly pure,' in the word of one observer, in freedom from political radical ism.

Bv s. BURTON HEATH

l-DiXies large and growing textile industry may prove the major bat tlefield in the CIO.-AFL inva- sion of the South-not only as be- tween the two rival labor groups but also as between labor union ism as a whole and the South lands embattled but resisting en- ployers.
 There are more than 8 million textile workers, including allied trades, in the country, almost equally divided between North and South. The South has a small edge and is gaining It seems gen. orally agreed that between 30 and 85 percent of the Northern work CTS are organized, but only about 20 percent of the Southern.
 This would suggest that there are some 100000 potential dues payers below the Mason-DiXon line Of those already organized, the CIO. Textile Workers Union is believed to have about four -fifths and the AFL United Textile Workers the rest But the UT.W has no idea of conceding' the per- manency of this inferiority It in- tends to fight for the large ma jority who still are out of the labor fold.
 CERTAIN TO BE CENTER
 In this clash of Organizedarfgth In this clash of organizational efforts, Greerville is almost certain to be a prime objective of both groups, and employers here are quite certain to resist both.

 WELL INFORMED

HONOLULU, T. H., Jan. 3-Gen. MacArthur is given all the infor- nation possible but ''it is not necessary that he be consulted in advance on Allied occupation poli- cies for Japan, Secretary of War Patterson told a press conference.
 "We advise Macarthur and give the General all the information possible relative to his command" !" the secretary said in reply to a question, based on the Generals statement that he had not been consulted during the recent Moscow conference at which an Allied council was set up to pass upon occupation policies.
 Macarthur properly has no voice in making foreign relations policies, Patterson said.
 Patterson, on a world tour, de- clined to estimate how long Am erican troops might have to remain in China. Japan or Germany.
