Textron President
Promises 10 Keep
One Of ; Mills Open
BY the Associo,ed Press

NASHUA, N. H., Sept. 24.-Royal
Little, president of Textron Mills,
promised today in voice choking
with emotion to try and keep
Nashua's textile industry operating
but 1000 workers still faced loss
Of jobs by the end of the year.
Verging on tears, Mr.. Little ap-
pealed to Senator Tobey, Repub-
hcan, of New Hampshire to ask
the people of Nashua for whole
hearted co-operation-in spite of all
you've heard about me-"
Textron originally announced it
intended to shut down two big mills
employing 3,500-roughly a tenth of
the population of this city. But
Mr.. Little agreed to another years
operation OF one of the plants-a
sheeting mill employing 1,Ooo-if his
arm can realize 10 per cent profit.
Changed His Opinion.
Mr.. Little told Senator Tobey,
who headed Senate Subcommittee
on Interstate and Foreign Com
merce investigating the contem-
plated closings:
only recently I've changed my
opinion because Tobey and the cit
liens of Nashua convinced me that
something here can be saved"
Mr.. Little has suggested the posi-
bility of converting blanket mill
into a sewing factory-but this
would give jobs to only about 200
odd of the $500 working there now.
Meanwhile, Senator Tobey told
newsmen his subcommittee would
not confine its investigation to
Textron and limited it might investi-
gate the whole cotton textile in
dustry.
Senator Tobey recessed the Tex
tron inquiry after three days OF
hearings with the assertion "a new
day has come to Nashua"
Crowd of 700 Cheers.
Something has happened here
under Gods leadership" he told a
cheering crowd of more than TOO.
"I believe order is coming out OF
chaos.
"A new day is coming to Nashua;
I'm taking this mans word at par
and ask you, citizens of Nashua and
the union, to do likewise"
Harold Daoust, regional director
for the CIO textile workers union
clasped hands with Senator Tobey in
"a solemn covenant" to work out
solution to the city's textile prob
lens.
Mr.. Little said he would need
about a week for a survey to deter
mine whether Textron's blanket mill
could be converted to other produc-
ton.
Will Resume Hearings.
Senator Tobey indicated he would
resume hearing then for report.
Mr.. Little said the success of the
proposed conversion depended on
the cooperation of the city, people
and the union.
eff the people of Nashua forget
their bitterness against me and
against the company" he said, Il
will try to put over plan that will
create more jobs here
Senator Tobey told neWsmen his
inquiry not be limited to Textron,
He said hearings would be held
