Democrats Answer Roraback Talk 4:
  With Statement From Headquarters

New Haven, Oct ? P)-The dem-- ocratic state headquarters today is-r sued the following statement in an- swer to an address delivered by J. Henry Roraback at New London yesterday. The statement Is as fol- lows: {"
 "Mr. Roraback, boss of Connecti- cut republicanism, is quoted as hav- ing said at New London yesterday that he is not the one who picked, the republican ticket this year and that he is not the boss of his party.i He is further quoted as saying that, if he were picking the ticket hes would not look in professors chair to find the candidate for governor.
 Tt is significant that Red Top Harvard crew headquarters, should have been chosen to stage this at tack on a distinguished administra- tive official of Yale university of proven executive ability.
 Surely these remarks of MT. Ror- aback upon the occasion of Dean Cross cannot be taken seriously and can be fairly placed in the category of undignified campaign persifiage. However, if MT. Roraback wishes to bring up the subject of choosing professors for governor, he should not forget that one of the most dis tinguished governors of this state was Professor Simeon E. Baldwin of Yale University and that he him-' self in 1922 when looking for a gov. ernor-for a day-chose Professor Bingham, and also when he wanta1, to find a United States senator -oa employ Eyanson methods in ths, consideration of tariff schedules, ne. also called upon Professor Bingham.
 The fact is that Dean Cross has been a very successful professor and also very successful administrative official of Yale. Mir. Roraback knows very we'll that he will be success. | ful governor, who will return the government to the people, where it belongs, and where MT. Roraback and his power associates do not want it to be. That is the real is-, sue in the present campaign and not where the candidate has earned his livelihood.'

QUIGLEY APPROVES 1 VETERANS APPEAL
Endorses Forget-Me-Not Sale
 for Disabled Men

Mayor Quigley has issued the fol- lowing proclamation in connection with the two days sale of forget me-nots to raise money to carry on rehabilitation work among the dis abled veterans of the World War: We often hear remarks from per- sons informed that the government is only too glad to give aid to any disabled man. The government will aid any disabled man but first he must prove service connection. In the last six months the local organ ization has helped Il veterans to prepare and present their claims to the Veterans Bureau at no expense to the veteran.
 'The public hardly realizes the amount of proof a man must have to be admitted for medical examina- tion. To carry on this work, the disabled American veterans must conduct their drive. The little blue flower was chosen as the organiza- tion emblem. To my mind this or ganization should be given coopera- tion by the citizens of New Britain that it may continue the work of aid ing the disabled veterans.
 Each flower will help aid the or ganization in it's work. The little that is given will not be missed, but when the money is turned in it will mean a great deal to the injured men,"
 The forget drive started today and will end tomorrow.

.SCALPEL PASSE
 SURGEONS TOLD
Electric Knife Causing Coasua-
 tion Of Blood Introduced

Philadelphia, Oct. 16 (UP)-The old fashioned scalpel is giving way to an electrical knife in surgery and the change is considered one of the most important and beneficial in operations, it was revealed here at a conference on electrical surgery at the clinical congress of the American College of Surgeons.
 Recently developed electrical ap- paratus makes use of special fre- quency currents to coagulate the blood of patients undergoing opera tions of nearly every sort, it was re- vealed. Instead of closing severed capillaries, veins and arteries with clips, or surgical thread, surgeons now are using the "electrical CO., agulator" without the use of these materials which often were a source ot infection and delayed normal healing.
 In operations for the removal of cancer, which sometimes involve large flesh areas, the new method is especially good, it was said.
 Eleven eminent surgeons predict ed that in the near future major operations, particularly for cancer, would be made only by electro surgery.
 Dr. Howard A. Kelly, of Balti- more, listed 20 reasons why the electric knife was superior to the old method of scalpel and suture.
