LEGION OFFICIAL
 URGES VETS JOIN

WATERBURY, belief that the American Legion provides the greatest protection today for a large number of unemployed, Le- zion Junior Commander Garfield Bostic, IT,, urged veterans of both wars to join the organization. Bos- tics appeal was made here at a meeting of the William Wilson Post 1855 Wednesday,.
 "Many unemployed veterans do not realize they are entitled to certain sources of help for them and their families and that, be be- ing member of the American Le- zion, they would become acquaint- ed with the various groups which are established to give them aid,'' the speaker declared.
 Bostic is working with Frank Gieger of Cheshire and T. Berry, of the Connecticut State Employ ment Service of Waterbury, in an attempt to help veterans with their problems.
 Veterans seeking help were in vited to contact Henry Allen of Loucust Street or MT. Bostic on Pearl Street. B. B..

With CONNIE

Hello there. Again we meet at news together. Well, the beans have really been baking this week, what with all the younger bean bakers right on the ball. It was with much deliberation that we managed to select the highlight of the week. It was the Louis Jordan Dance at the Lyonhurst.
 MT. Jordan, just as always, gave a memorable performance and all those who danced to his wonderful musical arrangements had swell time.
 Other top entertainment was the Hustle Bustle Program given by the Elks of this city and under the leadership of Mildred Daven- port. High praise is due her for her remarkable staging and direct ing of tao dance. routines of the Hustle Bustle Girls. Among the other most talented performers was the versatile youth, Laws Parks, student of Emerson Col lege, who did dramatic reading in her own inimitable way-and Bennie Nelson for his unusual act ing ability. The entire program was complete success.
 Bachelors Party
 Congratulations to the Bachelors of Cambridge on their recent party; These young men certainly showed oreat signs of advancement and; from this corner, we say, "Good luck, fellows"
 Those who attended the dance given by the Omegas at the Pro- 'fessional Business Mems Club last week, report that, as always, a most enjoyable time was had by all. Most of our fair city's young debs turned out to find a most lovely atmosphere. No wonder it was such a success.
 Those of us who appreciate good music will welcome with open arms the Mills Brothers. This world fa- nous quartet is booked to appear at the RKO for a weeks engage ment beginning Thursday.

FIyweight Vacuum
Cleaner Is Being
Made In Denmark

Here is news of a new Danish
vacuum cleaner which has just ap-
peared en- the market. 1t is made
of plastic and light metal, weigh
ing only 6 ga lbs.
Despite its smallness- the sue
ton cylinder is only Z inches in
diameter-it has the same suction
power as the bigger type of vacu-
UNI cleaner. 1t can hang on a
wall-hook. Children can handle it
quite efficiently
Much interest was shown in the
model by buyers from abroad, ev-
en- before it reached the produc-
ton stage. Skandinavisk Bakelite
Industri, the firm which manufac-
lures it, will shortly dispatch their
first foreign consignments of the
cleaner to South America and the
Scandinavian countries.

New Efficient
Electric Whale
Gun In NORWAY

Presently engaged in readying
some $50 harpoOn-guns and train
ing a score of new gunners for
the Forthcoming whaling season,
the KOngsberg Arms Factory is
predicting that one Of the firms
newest developments - an elect
rOcuting unit - will increase
whaling efficiency by as much as
10 per cent.
Major Erling Schjold of the Nor
wegian firm notes that the electro
cutting harpoon has been in ex-
perimental stages since before the
war, and was used with "compar-
alive success" during the past sea-
son.
From 20 to Is per cent of the
whales struck with the regular ex-
plosive harpoon used to escape or
sink, explains Major Schjold = a
figure which has recently been cut
to some 10 per cent with the use
of tougher nylon line. Using an
electrocuting rather than an ex-
plosive head, however, loss through
sinking can be cut to nothing as
the electrocuted whale remains
afloat and does not struggle. The
new system is much more humane
and there is no danger Of line
breakage.
The Kongsberg plant, which spe-
cializes in whale guns, has built
ten new units this year. An out
put of some 700 harpoon guns dur
ing the past few years has sup
piled Norwegian, British, South
African, Newfoundland, and jap
anese expeditions.

LEAK OF THE ATOM BOMB

Washington has wondered and wor-
ried about who leaked the secrets of the
atom bomb 90 Russia.
The first reports were to the effect
that Harry l.. Hopkins was responsible for
the leak. That guess didn't go over well.
because that wasn't the way Hopkins did
things. tie was an honest man and he only
had one master in his later years = and
that was President Franklin DelanO Roose-
welt
Finally Fulton Lewis, Jr. one of the
best commentators on the radio said he
had found out who leaked the atom sec
rets 20 Russia. He declared that Henry A.
Wallace. who was Vice President at the
time and head Of the Board of Economic
Warfare was the guilty guy who spilled
the beans. Henry Wallace flared back
and brandesl-the charge against him as
"sheerest fabrication"
Well. Fulton Lewis, Jr. hasn't modi-
fed his charges one bit.
Mr. Hopkins was as loyal co-part-
ner as any President ever had and it was
not any trouble at all for the press and the
Government to clear him of all charges
The only other man who could take
the responsibility of communicating with
Russia and turn over secrets was Vice
President Wallace He hasn't cleared him
self Of the charges. So keep your eyes on
Henry.
Evidently the Russians know aItoget-
her too much about the atom bomb, and it
Is TO be hoped that the real villain who
spilled the beans will be brought out and
get what is coming to him.

STRIKING AGAINST PROSPERITY


Every industry-wide strike, of the
sort experienced in coal and steel this
year, is throwing backward the long-range
effort toward a sounder and greater pro-
sperity for everyone in this Nation.
One practical economist, c. E. VIII
son. president Of General Motors, pointed
this cut recently in talk he made before
q representative group of executives from
another consumer goods industry
There are many reasons why the
next ten years can be and should be the
most prosperous years in the history OF our
country. said Mr. Wilson. However, this
prosperity viii not be achieved through an
nual lndustry-wide strikes and continuing
Industrial warfare. Perhaps collective bar
gaining implies some strikes threatening
the prosperity of all of us. We can all have
more only If We produce more. We cannot
promote prosperity or achieve old age Sc
curity for millions by restricting or shut
ting down production.
In General Motors we have done
everything We possibly could TO minimize
the effect Of the steel strike on our bust
ness. Starting last May we accumulated
all Of the extra steel we could above our
current requirements hoping there would

the first - October. we had about three
weekR supply Of steel above the minimum
that trunfa ,aor,,..ll,, ha,.o haav roo,,;.ol
81 maintain our carrent schedules In spite
If this the steel strike will cost us the equi-
valent of about three weeks production in
the last quarter Of this year and will have
some effect on our January schedules.
II Is well TO remember that in a pros
porous country like ours. high level of
employment and business activity will
only continue as long as the people have
confidence 10 buy and are willing to work
for the things they would like to have"
To these remarks may be added the
unquestionable fact that repeated and
widespread strikes touching the entire Ma
tional economy cannot but decrease the
confidence Of individuals in the consumer
category. Retail businesses of all sorts
have felt the blight of the steel and coal
strikes IN the areas of these operations in
recent weeks. and even now. with extern
slve pay roll losses in the automotive in
dustry because Of the three weeks of lost
production Mr.. Wilson mentioned, the
same results are being felt.
When one man goes out on strike in
America. dozen families besides his own
eventually feel the loss of a pay check. 1t
spreads far and wide. through the entire
system Of supplying the average family's
needs. back 10 the basic sources of food
aud clothes and warmth. Strikes of the in
dlstry-wide type are strikes against the
prosperity of the United States.
