sort Of thing he always is doing on
the radio.
They have to do mainly with a
gang Of racketeers, masquerading as
solid citizens. This 1atters group
has got wind of an elevated high
way and it figures II 1t can beat
down property values along the
route, it can turn cool million
after the improvement has been
made. It's methods of picking up
the promising real estate are as
dirty as the gang leaders are i'm
maculate and suaVe.
Mr.. District Attorney is not a
documentary of a real estate deal,
clean or dirty, to be sure. It
aspires to be human drama, the
story of lives. In addition to the
life of the D. A., major attention is
directed to such lives as those por-
trayed by Marguerite Chapman and
Dennis O'Keefe. Miss Chapman is
a beautiful girl, as you already know.
but she is regrettably Is not nice
one. Using herself as an attractive
slice of bait, she walks among men
trying to select the one that will
prove most useful to her. The D. A.
has knowledge that this Is an old
practice with her, but he does not
interfere until O'Keefe, as his bright
young assistant, Is shared by the
girl.
When this happens, the D. A.
turns the affair into triangle with
himself as its apex. Before he
proves that he knew all the time
what it was about, things get fairly
violent.
Robert Sinclair's direction of "Mr.
District Attorney" is clearly recon-
ciled to the truth that the screen
script contains no. surprises. True,
there is mild amount of confu-
sion now and then as to who is
killing whom, but the D. A. Is there
and certain to come up with the
guilty party. Such paragon could
not miss, so instead of feeling. sus-
pense and excitement, audiences
can sit back and relax in the cer--
tainty that justice will be done.

 The practice of using prison la bor to compete with commercial printing firms should be outlawed. We realize that the inmates of the States institutions must be kept busy working on worth while prof ectS. However, we object to inmates doing work in competition with private industry.
 A State Housing Bill to start the State on the road to doing some thing worthwhile concerning the housing shortage in the State of Connecticut should be enacted. We cannot continue to look toward Washington alone for help; we must strive to solve our own seri- ous housing shortage. and do 1t at once.
 The General Assembly will be asked to amend the State Labor Relations Act in the following man. ner:
 1. To include employees of towns, cities and the State under the provisions of the Act. There is a question Of conStitutionality involved in this issue. However, I feel 1t should be clarified. Unless we do something about this issue, we shall find some of our cities and towns will be involved in serious strikes.
 2. To clear up the question of jurisdiction between our State Board and the National Labor Re- lations Board.
 3. To make it possible for the Board to employ additional agents if it Is necessary. Under the pres ent law, such assistants cannot be hired.
 Mediation and Arbitration
 1. The law should be amended to make several panels of members available for mediation and arbitra- ton. At present. if the members

of the Board are out of town or busy in their regular work, media tion or arbitration is delayed.
 2. The law should be amended SO that both Labor and Management involved in g dispute can be brought before the Board by the power Of subpoena. At present, the lack of this power has worked a hardship on both Management and Labor. Disputants must be re- quired at least to sit down together if we desire to even begin to set tie our many Labor-Management problems.
 We are opposed to a State sales tax and all other nuisance taxes such as taxes on utility bills of consumers. We favor a plan of taxation on ability to pay. We can- not understand why our neighbor- ing states can coin millions of dol lars in revenue from horse-racing, and yet our State Representatives fail to face this question and do something about it. We are defi- nitely on record in favor of legal ized horse-racing for the State of Connecticut Our neighboring States of New York. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not negli- gent in respect to this issue.

Labor Advances
 By
 Ruth DembO

Last week delegates representing 21 state groups from Rhode Island | to California. met to organize new national citizens organization. Known as the Progressive Citizens 1 of America the new group Is made up mainly of members of the Ma tional Citizens Political Action Committee and Independent Citi- zens' Committee of the Arts. Sci- ences and Professions. Its broad aims are to achieve peoples peace and full employment at home Specifically. it will fight on such issues as housing, health, jobs, education, racial equality. Experimenting the new organiza- ton are such men as Henry Wal lace, Frank Kingdom, Jo Davidson, and J. Raymond Walsh, who long ago have proven their ability to fight for the common man. 1 Earmarked as a third party move by a large section of the press, the Progressive Citizens of Amer ica did not call for 8 third party, although they adopted the follow ing resolution:
 ''We want to be clear on one thing. If the Democratic Party wooS privilege and betrays the people it will die and deserve to die. We cannot. therefore,
 rule out the possibility of a new political party, whose fidelity to our goals can be relied up- on. We will not wait long for the Democratic party to make it's choice
 A serious, practical organization. which will fight on legislative mat ters in between elections and look toward influencing the 48 cleo tions. the new group will probably be feared by machine politicians whose aim is to maintain the status quo and keep the average man and woman from taking an inter- est in political affairs.
 It offers much hope for the fol- lowers of the late Franklin Roose- welt, who have not been entirely satisfied with the administration handling of such problems as wages and imitation. Those who have watched the cost of living go up while wages have stayed down are worried about the possibilities of depression. Had the enact ment of Roosevelt's Bill of Econ omic Rights become the chief leg islative postwar topic, rather than labor-smashing legislation this worry would not be as well-found- ed.
 The new organization will be means through which to fight against depression and anti-labor legislation. On a positive scale it has advanced a program to elevate the standard of living of the Am erican people in line with the post war plans of FDR.
 The Progressive Citizens of Am- erica gives the promise of becom- ing an important political devel- opment in American life. Wheth- it will or not will depend upon the workers. farmers. housewives. bus ineSSmen, artists, writers. and Sci-

erty in the amount of $5.000. % without having to sign property in that amount over to the State of Connecticut.
 We also feel that recipients of old age assistance should be al- lowed to have insurance in the amount of $2,0OO.O0 without assign ing 1t over to the State of Con- necticut.
 The law should also be amended so that recipients will receive a maximum of $6O.OO a month in- stead of the present maximum of $40.0O a month.
 Unemployment Compensation
 Amendments
 1. Unemployment Compensation Commissioners are now working on a part time basis. We have five commissioners appointed by the Governor for terms of five years receiving $5,O00 year, and seven additional temporary commission CTS appointed by the Governor at a salary of $5,00O year. This pro- cedure is very costly. and in return produces too little results. Appeal cases also are taking entirely too long. An amendment to the law, therefore, is recommended so that Unemployment Compensation Con- missioners shall work on 8 full time basis at an adequate salary commensurate with the positions that they hold. Workmen Com pensation Commissioners must work full time, and their work is very satisfactory.
 The Act should be amended so that the maximum weekly amount of benefits will be 5000 a week for a total of 26 weeks duration. The present maximum is $22 week with a dependency payment of a maximum of $500. Maximum dura- ton at present is 20 weeks.
 We favor the abolition of the Merit Rating system and propose instead an overall plan whereby any reduction in taxes will be pro- rated in a fair and equitable man. ner unlike the present system which favors utilities, insurance companies. banks. etc.
 It is highly essential that we strike from the Act the words connected with his employment" These words do a tremendous amount of injustice to the workers in our State. The Supreme Court of Errors recently upheld the Com- missioner of Labor in his decision on the interpretation of these words and over ruled the employer in this case. These words must be stricken from the Act.
 Employers hiring one or more employees should be covered un- der the law instead of only those employing four or more as at pres ent.
 Employees should be eligible for benefits after the fourth week of a strike.
 It Is necessary to seek the repeal of the following exemptions: Per- manent domestic service, religious. scientific, charitable or literary service. Thus, people permanently employed as domestics. sextons or janitors in churches or educational

 The passage of 8 Fair Employ ment Practice Committee fs recom- mended. A bill will be introduced with the Connecticut Federation of Labor's sponsorship similar to the one enacted by the State Legisla- ture in New York.
 The passage of a bona fide Wage and Hour Act which will supple 1nent the Federal Fair Labor Stand ards Act of 1888 Is recommended. The bill will propose minimum wage of Sixty-five cents an hour with time and one-half to be paid after forty hours 8 week.
 The passage of an Apprentice ship Law" is recommended. Ap- prenticeship Is SO important a func- tion to the success of both industry and labor that it is most necessary that ways and meanse be set up to expedite sound apprenticeship program in the State of Connecti- cut. We have capable person in Thomas Yoczik as Chief of Appren- tice Training; now we must give him the right tools to work with.
