rHEVROLETfa factories are breaking records,
~ trying to give America all the cars it wants.
1000 units day are rolling off the assembly
lines. February output was twice that of Janu-
AIRY. March output, according to present indi-
cations, will be three times that of January.
More Chevrolets are now being produced than
any other make of automobile in the world
And today, Chevrolet is happy to report that
all its dealers will soon be in position to make
immediate deliveries.
When you consider how short time the new
Chevrolet has been in production-whe you
consider aIso that the 1884 car is not last years
model improped, but basicaly new automobile,
with sweeping changes in design-this produc-
ton record becomes somewhat of an accom-
plishment. But, a still greater accomplishment.
in opinion, is the ,coy that these cars hate all
been produced'
Despite continued nationwide pressure for
more and more volume, Chevrolet has been
careful never to lose sight of its basic aim to
build the most motor cars, by building the best
cars of low price. To that end, speed in produce
ton has been tempered with care and precision.
Quantity has gone hand in hand with quality.
Chevrolet's famous standards have been rigidly
held to, in every factory operation. The result:
When you place your order for new Chevrolet,
you'll not only get big, rugged ''knee-Action''
car-with the newest thrills of ofmotoring-you'
also assured of getting typical Chevrolet car
in economy, dependability and long life.

 Just imagine, when you kiddies are singing Christmas carols to the accompaniment of Jimmie Colgan at the organ, your voices will be sent out over the air and your mothers and daddies who are home. can tune in on the radio to hear you sing! Maybe, if you sing loud enough your parents will be able to detect your own voice.
 Yes sir, this is the big charity show of the Waterbury lodge of Elks, the Waterbury Democrat and the Poli theater, through its man. ager, Edward Fitzpatrick. It will be remembered that MT Fitzpatrick gave you a swell show at the Poli theater last year.
 And here Is something that was entirely unexpected. Uncle Harry received a telephone call today from Attorney Harold Green, com mander of the local post of the Jewish War Veterans. MT Green informed Uncle Harry that the post had contributed $1O toward the fund that will be used to buy food for the needy folk of the city. And was Uncle Harry tickled!

REPUBLICANS TO
 MAKE NO CHANGE
Poll of State Chairmen Is Against Plans for Re-
 organization

Washington, Dec 21-(UP)- The post-election move for imme- dfate reorganization of the repub- hcan national committee appeared headed for defeat today as a result of the attitude of state chairmer.
 By an overwhelming majority they have indicated they do not fa- vor any change in the organization at present. This indication came from a poll conducted by those re- portedly interested in the reorgan- ization. It was confirmed by express sions of confidence extended Chairman Henry P. Fletcher of the national committee.
 The poll, presumably conducted by insurgents seeking to over throw the present leadership, was said to show that at least 43 of the AS state chairmen are opposed to reorganizatin.
 The national committee head quarters reported that expressions of confidence sent Fletcher tailed with the results of the poll.

 BABY TO RECALL
 ABSENT HUSBAND

 Harm Done Child

Indianapolis, Dec 21-(UP)- Mrs Dorothy Marsh, 19, told police today how she began a desperate effort to recapture the love of her estranged husband-and ended up in jail on charges of Kidnapping.

The father is an EZRA worker. Mrs Marsh was held in jail in default of $5,O00. bond on Kidnapping charge. Hysterical when arrested, the young woman was taken to the city hospital where physicians found her to be sane and returned her to jail.

Marsh, a garage worker, is in a Plymouth hospital with a broken back as result of an auto mobile accident two weeks ago.. "l though that if I made, him believe T had become a mother I could win his love back" Mrs Marsh sobbed. Posing as church social worker, Mrs Marsh called at the Robbins home Wednesday afternoon and met the mother. She returned yes- terday and asked to hold the in- fant, Mrs Robbins said. A minute later she dashed out of the house and entered a taxicab.
 Identity of the kidnaper was traced through the cab driver. The baby was found with Mrs Marsh in her room. Mrs Marsh had posed as an expectant mother more than two months, police learned.

JUDCESHIPS IN
 CONN ARE AGAIN
 IN MUCH DISPUTE
Another Attempt Is Being Made to Restore Power
 to Governor

Hartford, Conn.,, Dec. 21.-(UP) Another legislative attempt to restore to the governor the power to appoint judges of the state courts was seen today in recom- mendations of the judicial council for a constitutional amendment vesting that authority in the chief executive.
 This method of appointment was followed for years under the re- publican regime but was declared unconstitutional when the demo- crats elected their first governor in IS years four years ago.
 Since then it has been a sore spot in the General Assembly and two attempts to return the ap- pointive power were rebuffed by the house, which has an overwhelming republican majority.
 Plan of High Courts
 This procedure is followed in the higher courts and the council stated that restoration of the old system would result in that same public sentiment which, as regards the higher courts, requires the continuance in office of a judge who has shown himself worthy of the position"
 The council commented that while this authority would enable the governor to build up 8 pow erful political machine "the chance that this would occur is exceed
