OLYMPIC GAMES
 GIVEN NEW BLOW
Catholic Weekly of New York Advises Men of
 That Faith to Boycott

New York, Nov. 5-(U.P)-Parti- cipation by Roman Catholics in the 1886 Olympic games in Berlin would be aiding and abetting an effort to destroy the Christian faith, George N. Shuster, managing editor of the Commonweal, Catholic weekly, will say in an article to be published November 8.
 'The Berlin olympics of 1936 are no ordinary games" Shuster said, but are designed to reveal to the world in 8 grandiose way what the third Reich has done for the adole- scent male.
 Tt is not merely a question of the persistent violent hostility of Hitler ism to the church-a hostility which has sent hundreds of the faithful to death or into exile No these games are to set the seal of approval upon the radically. anti Christian Nazi doctrine of youth"
 Team Would Withdraw
 Receipt of advance copies of the magazine by the press coincided with announcement by the Amer ican Youth Congress that 21 mem bers of the Columbia Law Review, official publication of the Columbia Law School, had petitioned the Met tropolitan Amateur Athletic Union to withdraw its olympic team from the games in 1886.
 Shuster's article entitled General Sherill and the Olympics" criticized the report of General Charles H. Sherill, member of the Internation- al Olympic Committee, that Ger man sports authorities had invited Jewish athletes to participate.
 Tt seems to me-" the article said, quite incredible that the Catholic clergy of these United States will not raise their voices against this new temptation to offer incense at the altar of Baal, provided that they realize in time what issues are at stake"

.AH Elections To-day
 Dra1v Much Attention
Three Conn., Cities, Bridgeport, Hartford New Haven Just Closed Bitter Campaigns Mass. Cities
 Vote-Tfree States May Bear on New Dealt
(By United Press)

Voters went to the polls today in three Connecticut cities to add the finishing touches to the political picture started in the October town elections, which recorded over- whelming sentiment against the New Deal.
 Three separate parties were on the defensive the socialists at Bridgeport, republicans at Hartford and democrats at New Haven, with two former republican mayors att tempting 8 comeback.
 Interest centered on the outcome of the Bridgeport campaign, in which Mayor Jasper McLevy seeks a second term and which may inti- cate the strength of the socialists in the 1886 state and national elec- tions. McLevy is opposed by former Mayor and Lieut. Gov. Cliffford B. Wilson, republican, and Joseph A. Wieler, democrat.
 McLevy's Big Sweep
 McLevy's sweep two years ago paved the way for the election of three socialist state senators and two representatives, which created 8 delicately balanced situation in the general assembly in which the party held the balance of power in the up- per house and controlled organiz- ation of the senate.
 It was estimated that approxi- mately 50000 votes would be cast at Bridgeport.
 The Hartford situation presented a close race between Mayor J. Wat son Beach, republican, and John A. Pilgard, democrat. The latter has been unable to conduct a personal campaign because of recent oper- ation which has kept him off the stump since the drive started last

 Hold Up Advance
By WEBB MILLER

 With the Italian army beyond Adaga- -Hamus, Nov. 5-(UP)-The Italian advance on Makale was halt ed temporarily today in the midst of heavy rains.
 General Emilio De Bono, com nander-in-chief, ordered a halt of the main column under General Ruggiero Santini to permit road- building and the bringing up of supplies, after which the thrust to- wards Makale will be resumed.
 The weather continued extraordi- narily unreasonable, with heavy black clouds and torrential showers. The men shivered in the chilly mountain air.
 The advance has added roughly 4300 square miles of Ethiopian ter ritory to Italian hands, in addition to that previous occupied.
 Occupation, is of strategic im- porCance because It IS the center of five caravan trails radiating nirth, south, east and west.
 Valley Fertile
 The valleys in the region are fer tile and weil-watered, luxurant with cereals and vege tation and bumped cattle.
 The Danakil column on the east ern wing was organized so secretly at Rendacomo, about 100 miles eastward of Adigrat, that nothing was known generally of its forma- tion until it actually had began its march on the firinges of the desert.

MasSaWa is being strengthened and it is believed here that as the result Alden will become per- manent, powerful fortress.
 The protectorate lies at the junc- tion of the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean. It is 75 miles in area and with Perrin, the British island in the Strait of Bab Fl Mandeb where the Red Sea and Indian Ocean join as 48,338 inhabitants. It is fortified. Its harbor is well enclosed by land.
 Not Considered Before
 Though it has been before one of the happily selected British posses sions on the route to the Far East, it has not appeared of particular importance.
 But now it looms as a potential strong point between Malta and Colombo, Ceylon, to strengthen the Suez Canal area and offset Mas sawa across the Red Sea.
 Malta is $50 miles from Port Said, northern entrance to the canal. Alden is 1,310 miles south of Suez, at the southern entrance. Colombo

 sThe American Olympic commit tee" Bingham said, "did not. ac- cept the invitation to the 1886 games until it had been assured by the American representatives of the International Olympic commit tee that all nations, all races and all religions would be welcome in Berlin.
 Jew Would Get Chance
 'It had been promised that any Jew of sufficient ability to make any German team would have fair, safe and proper opportunity to do so. Avery Brundage, president of the American Olympic committee, had visited Germany and obtained definite promises that there would be no prejudice against Jewish ath- letes."
 William Henry of Los Angeles, active in the 1882 Olympics, and General Charles Sherrill., member of the International committee, have visited Germany and found no evidence of broken promises, ac- cording to Bingham.
 Letter Is Cited
 The Harvard athletic director cited letter from Dr. Theodor LeWald, president of the organizing committee, which stated that the real problem was a dearth of Jew ish athletes in Germany.
 All Jewish sportsmen who might be taken into consideration have been admitted into the athletic training courses" Bingham quoted the letter. !. ,g,i....s X. ssls. <
 Tt should be clearly borne in mind" Bingham said, that Ger many has nothing whatever to do with the management of the games. Germany will provide the facilities and make the preliminary arrange ments, but once the fire starts in the peristyle sIgnifying the open ing of the games, Germany will be just as much a guest in Berlin as will be the United States"

State Officials To Discuss Move To-day
 At Conference Here
Tavern Owners Invite Local Retail Merchants to At

conjunction with the package store. hotel and restaurant men, 1t would mean that all the liberalization forces had a united front; and, would have a better chance of gaining legislation fav- ora ble to them in the 1895 General Assembly. It was believed early this afternon that Mir Ryan's com ling here could mean only that he was willing to compromise for his organization and join with the other bodies in the plans they are now formulating.
 U. The Merchants association, in which virtually every local tavern Is entered as a member, has been bitter against the Tavern Owners association, for 1t has been felt generally that the latter body has made impossible demands and has employed higf-handed tactics. The Taverns Owners association plat form calls not only for sale of strong liquor by the drink in tav- erns, but also for the exclusive rights to sale of draught beer for tayerns, the restoration of music, 6 o'clock opening, and equal rights in all respects for taverns.
 Hindrance Considered.
 Local tavermen have felt that the. efforts of the opposing asocisa- ton have hindered considerably the chances of tavermen in gem eral to secure favorable legisla- tion. E. Jackson Ryan has been severely criticized by local leaders, and his appearance at the mass meeting at Moose hall this after non was certain to create a rather delicate situation.
 Should Ryan's visit here be for the purpose of compromise, the united forces would have much more strength and would have their chances of liberalization of the liquor control act considerably brig hi enpd tt
