The all-day meet ings will begin at 10:00 a. m. with a general discussion, and will be fol- lowed by individual group discus sion, according to commodities or types of manufacturing The after noon will be devoted to individual personal interviews with price Sl1e- cialists, at which firms can discuss their own specific problems. Ap- pointments for these will be ar ranged during the morning sessions.
 "The meetings will be patterned after the price clinic held in Bridgeport two months ago." Crute declared. "At our meeting with Bridgeport manufacturers, we found that our discussions cleared up the few misunderstandings which had arisen over OPA's recon version price readjustment methods and developed number of cases where we were able to be of prac- tical help to individual manu1ac- turers in teh price problems Wnlcn Bridgeport firms were then taclng. I sincerely hope that the coming discussions will be of equal assist ance to all Connecticut manutac- turers by giving them fuller un- derstanding of all OPA price-aos, justment regulations, both old anu new"

GoUerr,n1ent Spending Opposed by DibbLe
Naugatuck Industrialist Issues Statement Supporting NAM Views; Imitation Can Be Curbed

Naugatuck, March 19-L. A. Dibble, president of the Eastern Malleable Iron Company and dir ector of the National Association of Manufacturers today backed the statement, made in the NAM'S re- gently published anti-inflation pro- gram, that a reduction in govern ment spending plus the encourage ment of production will stop infla- tion-and that nothing else will.
 Of course, most thoughtful people in this area believe" he said, that the government expenditures now are far greater than they need be They believe that government should live within it's means and stop going deeper into debt.
 We try to make our state and local governments run on that basis. The Federal government must do the same. If it doesn't, all our efforts at the state and local levels are wasted"
 Worse yet, the imitation we want to avoid will be forced on us.''
 Although the war is over, the government is planning to spend four times more next year than it

Gaff- ney in City Court this morning. All four have been released on bonds. The main figure in the affair, John Rairlchuso, 24, of 330 Anne Avenue, charged with assault with intent to kill, has been released on a $10,000 bond. Efforts yesterday of the. youths attorney, A.

Asronomist Gives Tips
 Tor Farmers
White Clover Seed Placed on Morket In Place of Lodino

Litchfield, March 19-According to J. s. Owens, Agronomist for the Agricultural Extension Service, "Only by securing certified seed can a farmer be assured that seed pur- chased as Ladino clover is Ladino. This statement is the conclusion of Agronomists in the seed producing areas. The high support price for Ladino has increased the tempta- tion to place white clover seed or mixtures of white and Ladino upon the market as Ladino. Some of this confusion may be due to the grower himself not being certain about the variety he grows.
 Ladino clover seed is practically identical with the various strains of small white Dutch" clovers, such as Kent, Louisiana and Wisconsin. These smaller types are either non- hardy or similar to the native Con- necticut strain which volunteers and does not need to be sown.
 Several of the northwestern states which supply the East with Ladino seed have systems for field inspec- tion and certification by a disin- terested organization. This agency also seals and tags the bags of seed from accepted fields. While the system may not be fool-proof. it does provide high degree of pro- lection against misrepresentation either fraudulent or accidental
 The 1945 Ladino seed crop was large, 30 per cent above the 1914 crop, and three times the 1939-43 average. White clover seed produc- tion was also large, probably larger than the market will absorb as white clover.

 Asked his opinion of OPA restric-- tions and rules on building, the chief assessor said he was puzzled by the OPA's flow of materials for commercial building and its tight restrictions on private dwelling building"
 Home Builders Favored
 Certainly place to live is a great deal more important than a new building for some firm already established in site," he said. There is no doubt there is a short age of materials, but in the face of that evident fact it doesn't seem sensible to withhold, what is avail able, from the private home build CT"
 To emphasize the prevalence of the sellers market, MT. Jenks, cited recent sales of Waterbury proper ties and their comparison to the recent assessed valuations. One home, over 40 years old, sold for approximately $17,OOO although as- seSsed at $1O,950; another sold for SIS 900 with an assessed valuation of $8,700; others were, sale at $l5,- 500, valued at $11 500; sale at $f2,- 500, assessed at $9,500. In all in stances the purchaser was well aware of the difference in the val uation and the asked price.
 A survey made by the assessors office on 234 recent sales reveals that the new assessed valuations, which were determined on a 100 percent basis of the fair, market value, now are eqaal to but 82 per- cent.
 A recent survey made by The Democrat reveals the lack of build ing of private dwellings during the decade from 1929 to 1889. Less than 50 homes were built in Waterbury during the period mentioned, the survey shows.
 During the year 1883 but one home was built in Waterbury while during the year 1884 not one was constructed Five were built in 1940 and II in 1941.
 Level Prices Needed
 ''The market will continue to sky rocket until building materials are available, the abnormal demand for shelter is overcome and prices begin to level" MT. Jenks said.
 First in the interest of humanity we must offset the desperatness of people-particularly veterans-seek- ing dwellings. Once that is ac- complished we will not only have solved their problem but we will at least arrested the upward swing of prices and manage to level them off, even though they will remain high. Then, when materials again are available for building the market price will swing downward and level itself off at normal mark Until that time, however, see little or no relief-and that time looks a couple of years away"

 The city will pay its old-age tax bill. due the state on April 1, some time this week, City Comptroller Neil F. Maloney said today.

 Washington Farley
 The OPA and the Brass Mill Products Industry Advisory Com mittee were meeting in Washing ton again today, the latest session having been called for the purpose of allocating an average price in- crease of cent and a half per pound to specific brass products. Official announcement Of the price revision will come within the next two weeks.
 Both Chase and American Brass had refused to enter into wage ne- gotiations with the union until they received assurance of price increas- eS for their products. These two con- cerns, and Scovill, will apply to the OPA for further price relief as a result of wage increases, this step being authorized under the new wage-price policy.
 Sitting with the C.IO. representa- tiveS as the A.B.C. conference got under way far behind schedule, were delegates from two unions at Buffalo, and from an A.F.L. union at Kenosha, Wis. Because of delays in plane schedules, union delegates from Detroit were not present. They were expected to arrive later in the day.
 Payment of the compensatory bonus involves more than $1 900, ,O00. War Labor Board rulings have di- rected the company to pay this sum to more than 1900 swing shift em- ployeS of ,A.B.C.
 Willing To Arbitrate
 Union negotiators were headed by John J. Driscoll, chairman of the joint negotiating committee, and John Mankowski, member of the M. M. S. w. executive board.
 We've offered to arbitrate the bonus issue" said MT. Driscoll. If the company will just offer 18 1-2 cents for all and agree to retroactive pay then the strike will be over"

 Efforts in Peace, :. War Most Outstanding

"In time of peace as in time of war the one organization that more than all others has been father and mother, friend and savior, has been the American Red Cross, stated Rabbi William P. Greenfield in a radio address over WATR this afternoon. Rabbi Greenfield urged support of the Red Cross which he said is an organization that offers a helping hand when man is among strangers or when his friends and relatives are not in position to offer their services.
 Discussing the wartime services of the Red Cross, the Rabbi told of the relief and comfort which the Red Cross brought to sick and wounded soldiers and to prisoners of war. He also stated that in times of peace the Red Cross of- fers "multitudinous services" in times of comparative ease as well as in times of emergency.
 Rabbi Greenfield stated that $sO, 900 of the Waterbury quota will TclIld1kl 111 UA44S 4OA 3ONo' Red Cross work. The remainder will be used by the Red Cross in it's far-flung services throughout the world.
