EXTEND FUEL
 RESTRICTIONS
 TO JANUARY

A number of fuel administrators have asked the state fuel commission for placards to be distributed to the coal dealers in their territory, which will inform the public that the re- strictions whereby domestic consum- CTS can obtain only two tons of hard coal at one time, are to be extended to January 1, and no deliveries, be- consumers will be made.
 The list, which includes many or the large cities of the state, is as fol- lows: Bridgeport, Hartford, New Haven Waterbury, New LNndon, Mid d1etown. Meriden, Manchester, Will l1maptic, Bristol, Naugatuck, Daniel son, Terryville, Georgetown, Darien, New Canaan, Beacon Falls and East Haven. The restrictions which were fuel commission were to expire this month.
 A great many of the administrators, who have decided to extend the re- strictions have not yet asked for pla- cards, and some may hot so the num- Der of requests to the state fuel com- mission cannot be regarded as settling definitely just how many believe that the restrictions are still necessary in the communities where they have charge.
 The wisdom of extending the re- strictions was left to each admnistra- it was felt that a sweeping order would not be necessary for the entire state. and that the local administrator would best know whether conditions in his territory warranted the con tinuatfon of the restrictions.

New British Plane
 Aerial Destroyer"

London, Nov. 8. - The battleship versus aircraft controversy will short ly become a back number if the new type of machine being constructed by the British Air Ministry is rated a success.
 Known as the Cugaroo, this ma- chine is literally a winged naval de- stroyer. It is intended to be used at the outset, for coastal defense pur- poses Fitted with a very high pow cred engine, it will have range, for either bombs or torpedoes, of over one thousand miles.
 It is a three-seatar machine and will be a most effective weapon, when operating in large numbers, in re- pel=ip>~ not only invading seacraft but also aeroplanes and airships.
 A Zeppelin would have no chance against 1t because a feature of the new design is its ability to climb at a tremendous rate. The cruising speed of the machine will be about three miles a minute.
 Four machine guns will be fitted into the coastal defense plane. These are so arranged that there will be no blind spot" There will be equal facility for firing in any direction.

LEAGUE WOMEN VOTERS STARTED
 CHARTER DRIVE

The answer to the question that has been asked many times within a month, many more times in the past week,-'Who started this drive for A revision of the city charter ?"-is out Mrs Frank H. Riley, chairman of was the League of Women Voters, a non-partisan organization of new voters.
 Mrs. Riley has been active in the
 movement urging citizens to vote on the question-"ShaH a comm1ssi on be chosen to prepare a charter for the city of Bridgeport ?"-as it will appear on the voting machines next Tuesday. Requested for an eXplana- tion as to the inception of the agi- tation, Mrs. Riley said:
 'The movement for charter revision was started by the Lea que of Women Voters, a non-partisan organization, including in its membership women of both political parties.
 This action was the result of a study of our city's government which included addresses by Albert F.. Lay cry, William Bent, Samuel c. Shaw, David s. Day, Arthur M. Comley, and Mrs. Raymond Brown.
 "This study convinced us that the nyriads of amendments which have have resulted in such a wide distribu- tton of authority and responsibility that no mater how capable officers we elect we cannot expect from them their best work when cumbered with such an antiquated charter.
 "The women in our organization may not be agreed as to the particu- lar form of charter we should have, but they are all agreed that there is room for very marked improve ment from what we have. All our members are working for this inn movement"

ROBINSON IS
 OUT FAVORING
 NEW CHARTER

J. Alex. Robinson, who spent eight years with the municipal corporation as it's official clerk, today declared he favors a revision of the city charter, perhaps a change in the form of gov ernment if improvement in municipal management can be gained thereby.
 MT. Robinson. in whose office hun copy of the city charter during his several terms, was we'll acquainted with not only the lack of copies thereof but knew intimately the more important charter provisions. In 1917, despairing of early completion of the work of revising the charter, task entrusted to a committee or lawyers many years ago. the city clerk with his assistant, produced ana had printed an unofficial pamphlet containing the charter and ordinance of that date. That was the last effort Of it's kind.
 The town chairman said today:
 There Is 9 feeling among the peo- pie that we need change In our present form of government. Our present form as prescribed by char ter is not ideal, that is sure. although it is really not as bad some have painted it.
 NO matter what form of govern ment we have, if selfishness enters as an element, the government will fail to result ideally.
 Personally, I certainly think the peorle ought to vote on the question this year. It ought to be decided one way CT another for all time. Ihe people have the opportunity to vote and should do so."
 How will you vote. MT. Robinson? :? the chairman was asked.
 1T shall vote Yes" he replied.

THE PEOPLES SAY
BEDDING COMPLAINS OF
 REPUBLICAN DICTATION

To the Editor:
 Will you kindly give space in The Times to the following protest?
 The Commonwealth of COnnecti- cut was founded upon the principle of self-government, but long berore the State of Connecticut came into being, the towns of Connecticut were established units. each with the right to govern itself and to choose It's own representatives to the central legisla- Ave body. Connecticut towns have had no dearer right and no prouder boast than that they might act anu choose for themselves. without inter ference from outside. So runG1- mental is this liberty. so essential to our form of government that no slightest infringement of 1t should nS allowed. The more insidious the in fringem eht-the less open ana evl- dent-the more dangerous is it.
 On Sunday, Oct. 15. a number of well known Bedding men met in pri- Vate session and there received member of the Republican state or ganization from outside of the town, and at his dictation made up the list of men to be nominated at the 1le- publican caucus to be held on the fol- lowing night. Monday, the 18th. On Monday morning, some knowledge or the Sunday proceedings having leak ed out the above mentioned list of names was known to various mem bers of both parties in the town. Without dscribing in detail the
 
 quite openly and evidently manipEaal- ed, it is enough to state that the men actually nominated by a decisive, though not large, majority were exactly those upon the Sunday Lst. In other words, a caucus of Bedding men and women did not meet and spontaneously nominate the persons whom they considered best fitted to serve them. They instead acted in accordance with definite orders from outside of the town. If their ticket is elected 1t will mean that our Red- ding office holders are not the spon- taneous choice of a majority of ooE citizens It will mean that we are represented in the legislature and a local court bv men chosen by outside influence. Nothing more subyerSiVe of our fundamental rights has ever happened in the tow Party organi- zat.on is one thing; party dictat1on is another.
 This incident cuts so intolerably at the very roots of elf-government that every right thinking citizen must take note of it. The fundamental inn portance of averting such danger transcends any consideration of party, of friendship r even of the here is but one remedy; the men thus named by outside influence must be defeated at the polls on Nov. '. There is no other way of registering an effective protest against th:s inso- lent invasion of town rights.
 (Signed) A Bedding Voter.
