 MeLevy is one of the hardest working executives Bridgeport ever has had. He drives his own car to fae city hall early each morning generally uses the stairs in prefer ence to the elevator, in winter wear san overcoat with shiny el- bows and worn cuffs, and in sum- mer works with his sleeves rolled up and his collar open.
 McLevy Faces Dilemma
 Election of 100 per cent socialist city council confronted him with a situation not contemplated by the city charter, which says all city commissions shall be composed ot representatives of the two dominant parties in the council in equal strength. McLevy hadn't decided what his course would be under one-party rule.
 Former Lieutenant Governor Clifford B. Wilson, republican, ran second to McLevy with 10,065 votes, Joseph F. Wieler, democrat, got B,904 votes.
 John A. Pilgard, democrat, who immigrated from Denmark 50 years ago, was elected mayor of Hartford, He defeated Mayor Joseph w. Becah, republican. New Haven democrats reelected Mayor John w. Murphy for third term, although former Mayor Thomas A. Fully cut into the plur- ality Murphy obtained two years ago.
 Murphy Ran Ahead
 Murphy, 8 vice-president of the Connecticut Federation of Labor ran ahead of his ticket and Fully slightly behind. Republicans gained six aldermanic seats in unusually heavy voting which brought out 84 per cent of the electorate.
 A total of 58,611 votes were cast, of which Murphy boiled 30,6l2 ana Tully 25,374. The socialist candi- date, Harold B. Hunting, received 2.381. Murphy's plurality was 5,338 as compared with 1924 two years ago.
 Hartford was the first city to desert the republican ranks and elected Pilgard by record-break- ing plurality of 7,213 votes. The 69-year old merchant, confined at a hospital throughout the campaign, uolled 27.585 votes as against 20,372 for Beach.
 The new administration had IA to 6 majority in the board of alder men and all democratic candidates to non-partisan boards were elected.
 Pilgard won ten of the 15 wards and 45 of the 50 precincts.
 Results of the balloting in the states three largest cities were claimed by democratic state leaders and indicative of unwayering con- fidence in President Roosevelt, who carried all three municipalities in 1892 although losing out to Hoover on the state totals.
 Republicans claimed the gains made during the October town elec- tionS would offset the city vote, both in the state and national elec- tionS.
 Socialist Senators Again
 The socialist sweep at Bridgeport was seen as an assurance that the three state senate seats from that city would again be filled by mem- bers of that party, as well as the two seats in the house. Socialists held the power of balance in the upper branch last session, maneuv- cred all of its legislation through 8 coalition with republicans and pur- posely avoided the usual party wrangles over judgeship selections, which threw the previous sesison into 8 furor and brought down the

 Manufacturers Threat Manufacturers had threatened to close shop and move out of the city, declaring socialism would ruin their business.
 Yesterday McLevy was returned to ofiice for a second term.
 The civil service and merit sys- tems were enforced, the ''best men" were in key jobs, regardless of po- litical creed. Industries were hum ming, there was & lock on the city treasury and there was evidence, in municipal improvements, of how the money had been spent.
 Five socialists went to the legis- latiIre for the first time in history and McLevy, with his three sena- tors controlling the senate, went to Hartford and dictated his needs, and got every one of them.

 Italians Driven Out
 AddiS Ababa, Nov. 6-UP)-An official statement said today that an Italian detachment entered Makale, objective of the present drive on the northern front, late Tuesday and was driven out.
 The official announcement said that 10 men of strong reconnoit- ring patrol were killed when Ethio- plan warriors, in a surprise night attack drive the patrol from Max ale after it had entered without re- SiStance.
 Ethiopian casualties, the an- nouncement said, were two killed and two wounded. The number of Italian wounded was not known, it was said, but four Italian prisoners were taken.
 The Italians descended on Makale from the north and found it empty, the report said. They were about to fortify it, and hold it until the main forces could move up, when the Philippians completely surprised them in 8 night attack, the report asserted.
 It was expected here that the Italian main force might arrive out side Makale tomorrow. The are was said to be a sea of mud because of unexpected rains.
 Let Them Take Town
 According to intimations here, the Philippians intend to let the Italians take the town and essay a strong counter attack later.

NOISES LOWER
EFFICIENCY

Improvements in architectural
design, and the rapid strides
made by science in developing
sound deadening or accoustically
treated materials, is making pos
sible a most effective way OF
combating the noise problem.
1t has been found that sound
deadening walls, ceilings, and
floors increase working efficiency
and health. Doctors and Scien-
fists have discovered that noises
increase blood pressure and ruin
nerves. 1t was determined, for
example, that a stenographic ef'
ficiency was reduced 10 per cent
by noise.
In one large Cleveland office
mistakes were reduced AZ per
cent through modernization and
the application of accoustical ma
terialS, and in restaurant dur
ing an off month business picked
up 8 per cent as result OF Sucr
modernization.
Not only are modernization
loans being insured by the Fed.
eral Housing Administration for
protecting homes, offices, apart
mentS, stores and restaurants
against noise, but expenditures
for this kind of work are in
cluded in insured loans for the
construction of new homes.
