Lup- ton said, "indicates that 65 per cent of labor rank and file in this country oppose AFL-CIO Chief George Meany's proposal without a corresponding reduction in wages. "These men realize that a short week at the same wages would create a sharp.

upward leap prices and would hardly be the answer to rising In addition, Lupton said, such action would put a new cost squeeze on Connecticut industries and possibly force them out of business or out of the state. "If we in Connecticut are to provide a healthy climate for our existing jobs and for future job opportunities'." Lupton said, "it is essential that we have cooperation with labor unions. "Judging from the result of the recent poll, I would say that the average union member understands that he has a stake in the economic future of this country."

Ellen Ray of Cone Road flies to Dublin, Ireland, for a visit to the homeland of her parents. Mrs. Ray has nurtured this dream through most of the 68 years of her life as she struggled to earn enough money to keep her family of six together after her husband died. When he died Mrs. Ray's oldest child was 8 and she was expecting the sixth.

Required 'Good Eye' Even before the youngest was born, Mrs. Ray started work at the N. -H. Hills Brass but was forced to give this job up and take on work as a housekeeper, for families about town because she found she was not able to keep as "good an eye" as she wished on the children. As a housekeeper, she could continually check at home to make sure things were going all right.

When her husband died he had started an addition to their small house on Cone Road. She since added five more rooms and now owns a comfortable eight-room house.

George Fowler said the boy admitted walking on the tracks and pulling the handle on the switch.

He said he pulled the handle up and then let it down again. Railroad detectives said this opened the switch about an inch but did not close the gap when the handle was released.

A report of Alsop's resignation from the board was confirmed Sunday night by his campaign manager. Rep. Richard Sheehan of West Hartiord, who said a letter of resignation was sent to the State Board of Education Friday. Sheehan said the move had been contemplated by Alsop "for some time," but agreed that the resignation was ill-timed. The action by the candidate follows less than week after Democratic State Chairman John M- Bailey's com ments on Alsop's "very belated concern over the drop-out problem in the state's high schools.

Time Limited Sheehan said Alsop resigned be cause the candidate felt his cam paigning would prevent -his active participation in board meetings.

"What has Mr. Alsop been doing as a member of the State Board of Education for the past nine years? Bailey said the problem has been "grow-int for vears." and that appar ently Alsnn's concern over the problem "is being developed now onlv to give him material for political campaign speeches."
