COPPER COUNTRY
 VERY OPTIMISTIC
Mining Camps Talk of Bet. ter Times and Higher
 Prices

Phoenix, Ariz ,(UP)--The cop- per mining industry is talking in terms of twelve-cent metal, despite the fact that prices are holding around eight cents.
 The great copper mining camps, which durng the past IS months have dwindled to almost ghost clt- les, arc talking of better times in the offing and of tho higher prices. Considerable optimism is sur rounding the possibility of limited resumption of production at the New Cornelia mine in Ajo, sched. uled for July. This is one of tho biggest producers of the Phelps Dodge corporation, and between 500 and 800 men are expected to go back on the payrolls there.
 It is agreed that prices must rise before employment figures will show any decided increase as com. pared to tho more prosperous periods of the past. Only two or threo of the major mines of this section can operate on eight-cent metal, 1t is said.
 It Is generally agreed that many products could go on regular schedule with a 12-cent copper market.
 Tn the hopes of boosting prices, Arizona, which produces more than. 70 per cont of all the copper In tho United States, has appealed to the government and MIRA ad- ministration to purchase all sur. plus stock and place Q prohibitivo embargo on foreign copper.

FINAL BIDS ON
 HIGHWAYS ASKED
Four Projects Listed in Hamden, Essex, Nor=
 walk and Weston

In notice to contractors, Highway Commissioner John A. Macdonald will today call for bids on the final four Connecticut highway inn provement projects to be started on their way to completion in the yeSr 1884. The bids will be sub mi.ted to the highway department by the contractors on or before Monday, December 31, and will be opened publicly that afternoon.
 The new projects include about 1-2 miles of macadam and gravel surfacing, and the construction of five bridges. Two of the jobs will be federal PWA projects, to be paid for 70 per cent by the state and 30 per cent by the PWA, while the other two will be state under talSings.
 In the former category will be about 11,694 feet of water-bound macadam paving on North Main street (River road) and Plains road in the town of Essex, and the building of four concrete bridges and about 1000 feet of rolled, bank run, gravel approaches on Lane street, Gilbert avenue and WoodinS street iii the Town of Hamden.
 The other town jobs will consist of a concrete encased I-beam bridge and reinforced concrete ap- breaches over Five Mile river on Route No. 136 in the towns of Norwalk- and Darien, and of 1,050 feet of rolled crushed gravel on Route 57 in the Town of Weston.
 Sealed bids will be accepted un- til 2:OO D. m. on the above named date at the headquarters of the state highway department in the state office building, Hartford.

Postmastership Race
 To Be Decided Soon
Charles Babin, James Kelley Qualified Candidates for
 Position Both Expected to Receive Appointments

will bring to a definite end the sit- uation which has existed since the retirement of Postmaster Albert IN. Colgrove, under whom the pres ent acting postmaster served as assistant postmaster.
 Commissioner Charles Babin, who announced his candidacy soon after the postmastership vacancy came about and who, along with MT Kelley, was chosen by the civil service commission as eligible, will most probably be given a federal appointment, perhaps in the cus- toms service. It is not expected, however, that he will be given the postmastership.
 The democratic town committee has never officially endorsed any of the candidates for the federal post, and the choice will probably rest in good part with Congress- man elect J. Joseph Smith of this city, who takes a seat in the house of representatives on January 3.
 With the greater public opinion supporting MT Kelley, the post mastership will undoubtedly be given to him, with Commissioner Babin receiving appointment in another federal department. With quarter century of postal service behind him, and with many friends about the city, it seems unlikely that Acting Postmaster Kelley will be sidetracked at this time.

FORUM LECTURER DISCUSSES FACISM
Editor Changes Subject to DenOunce Trend of
 Huey Long

America does not need Fascism according to James w. Wise, au- thor, lecturer and editor of "Opin- ion,,' a journal of Jewish life and letters, speaking at the forum of the Second Congregational church last night. He was scheduled 10 speak on "Is American Journalism Free?" but changed 1t to Does America Need Fascism?"
 He said the chief Fascist ten dencies in the United States are the use of state troops in strike-break- ing, the rise of the "shirt-move- ments" and the organization of many so-called patriotic and vigi- lante societies. He advocated a mill itant and vigilant attitude toward Fascism rather than passive nonchalance.
 In the question and answer per iod the speaker declared Huey Long, now the director of Louisl- ana, might be a dictator of the United States if Americanisms did not possess a sense of humor. The speaker stated that no great works of art had been produced either in Germany or Italy since the rise of Fascism and Nazi-ism. MT. Wise said Anti-Semitic persecution in Germany was raised by Hitler as false issue to shroud basic econ- omic and political issues.
