 Rome, Nov. 2.-(UP)-Premier Benito Mussolinis European peace program was clear at last to Eu- rope's worried governments today.
 Laid down in Q speech at Milan yesterday, the program called TOT scrapping such illusory ideals aS disarmament, the League of Ma tons, collective security and indi- visible peace and for facing reali- ties, the chief one of which E that Italy seeks peace but is ready for war. Linked up with this program is a joint Italian German fight against communism and c demand for justice" to Hungary, . World war loser, as an essential to con tinued peace. Mussolini made his speech to 600,000 frenzied Italians. Three times the cheers that punc- tuated his shouted phrases were turned to boos and cat calls--for France, for the league and for the unhappy bugier who sounded three flat notes In giving the signal for silence.
 The misses for France came when Mussolini said that France had refused to recognize his conquest of Ethiopia. The misses for the league came when he said that the league must be completely reformed or must die. It appeared that Musso- lini meant what he said about tho alternative to death and that he was surprised when his hearers, drilled for months into the belief that the league already was mori. bund, demanded death. He seemed to sense the feeling of the crowd and quickly added his impression that reformation was impossible and that it would be better for the league to "die in peace". Mussolinl went out of his way to urge Great Britain to reach an agreement, on his terms, for Mediterranean peace, The Mediterranean he said earnest ly, was Italy's life line. Italy did not mean to cut 1t, he said, but t did demand that It's rights be re spected.
 Some statements from his speech: Tt is high time to put an end to communism Our policy is peace with everybody, but 1t will bc an armed peace So long as France maintains her reserved attitude TO. garding Ethiopia we will entertain the same reserve toward her .. want to fix the position of Italy in relation to other nations at this murky, shaky moment If we want to clarify the atmosphere 1t is necessary to destroy everything East Liberty street. charged with operating while under the infiu-

 brance of Veterans

Starting today and continuing until November II. Armistice day. the annual Forget-Me-Not drive will be sponsored by the Waterbury Disabled American Veterans post, commanded by John P. Barry. Sev- eral veteranS' organizations in the city have pledged their support to the Grive. among them being the Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary,
 Endorsement
 Mrs. Helen Brophy. president of this group, has issued the following statement in connection with the drive:
 "If my fellow citizens could have the opportunity, as I have had, to SC the many examples of humanitarian services which the D. A. V. render to their less for- tunate buddies, in and out of hospitals, providing them and their families with emergency re- lief, securing suitable employment opportunities for them, untang- ling government red tape to per- init necessary hospital treatment to secure much needed compen- sation and thus converting them from community liabilities into community assets, then I am sure there would be no hcsitancy in digging down deep to make siZe- able contributions to enable 1t to continue this wonderful service program.
 The gratefulness of those who have been thus assisted by the D. A. V. iS something to warm the heart and to make us remember, that 1t was because these men were willing to offer their all for their country during It's time of need, that they have sacrificed a portion of their bodily or mental health, and because of such han- dicap have been battered from pillar to post in their desperate, discouraging efforts to become self supporting citizens.
 I wish I had the power to awaken all of my fellow citizens to the truth that we have not yet fulfilled our war time promises, and If you realized the depths of desperation and destitution that many of these boys have had to go through, your hearts would rec spond, and you would then be prompted to open wide your pock- ct books in order to buy Forget- Me-Nots during the drive by Wa. terbury Chapter from November End to Armistice Day"

Landon Admits Frosh Padding
 Was Beneficial

Columbus, O.-(UP)--Gov. Ali M. Landon Is in favor of applying the paddle to cole lege freshmen - providing other things won't work.
 Coy. LandOn admitted his advocatlon of 'paddling" when he visited the Ohio State University chapter of his fraternity, Phi Gamma Delta, during his visit here.
 The Republican Presiden- tial nominee revealed that running the gauntlet" took some of the "kinks" out of him when he was . fresh- man at the University of Kansas.
 MT. Landon recalled how . "Shellacking" cured him of a particularly bit of high school slang which he brought with him tO college, greeting classmates with "hell0, Fox" or "hI, Fox"
 Pledged to Phi Gamma Delta only a few days, he let it slip in greeting the chap ter president who was not impressed by the phrase. He prescribed a heavy dose of padding to cure the youth fuI LandOn---and it did.
 However, his classmates "kiddcd" him 50 much that the knickname "Fox" stuck with him through his college days.

Church Services Held With
Large Attendance; Orph-

Thanksgiving was quiet holiday
for Henderson Thursday, and today
no serious accidents had been report

people went away to football games,

relaxation in advance OF the Christ
mas ruSh.
Mot churches of the city had
Thanksgiving day services either In
the forenoon or on Wednesday night
All of them were reported to have
been largely attended, and it was be-
lieved that the aggregate attendance
perhaps was almost a record. The
general view was that most people
had much to re thankful for at this
season, and they went to their
churches in a spirit of thanksgiving
and worship.
Offerings were for the various or
phanages supported by the denomina-
lions In the State, and creditable gifts
were understood to have been made
N most instances.

Five Stores Have Toy Open ngs Tonght Streets To Be
Decorated Early Next W eek; Almost Three Full
Weeks. Including Fo ur Saturdays, Remain

With Thanksgiving gone, the Christ
mas shopping season got under way
In Henderson today, and many stores
experienced a heavy demand for holi-
day merchandise.
Outstanding on the shopping pro-
gram for the merchants was toy
opening tonight as staged by two
hardware, two department and one
five and ten stores, which was get for
a great crowd of onlookers and buy
ers eager to have opportunity for
making selections from fresh stocks
Of merchandise While these openings
were at night, the regular night open
ings of the stores will not be launch
ed by merchants in general for sew
eral weeks yet.
There were indications, however.
that it would be one Of the biggest
Christmas seasons merchants have
had In years, il today's buying was
any indication. There we're many who
put in much of their time In "look-
ing" but they were making up their
minds on purchases, and at that there
were a great deal of euylng.
Merchants have laid in unusually
heavy stocks of goods In anticipation
Of larger buying, due to improved
economic conditions and the avail
ability Of more money than usual, at
least more perhaps than at any time
since the depression began seven
years ago. Crops have brought good
prices and most people who wanted
work have had it much OF the year.
Nhere Is much less unemployment
and many more jobs than probably
any year in the last half dozen.
