 Roosevelt Defeated
 Defenders of the New Deal, ct the Townsend Clubs annual conven- ton today challenged Father Charles E. Coughlin for calling President Roosevelt a "liar," "be- trayer" and double crosser".
 Nathan s.. Roberts, southern re gional director and one of the lead- CTS of the movement opposing the Rev. Gerald L. K. Smiths rise to power in the Townsend organization, said the south "deplored" the at. tack on President Roosevelt.
 There was repeated cheering dur. ing Roberts speech. At the con- clusion he received an ovation, although there was @ suggestion ot booing at one time during his address.
 q can't subscribe to the speech of Father Coughlin," Roberts said.
 "He said his National Union for Social Justice was working within the old parties and was not forrn- ing Q third party. Do not let us be led astray by his eloquent words down the blind allies he himself fears to tread"
 Norman Thomas to Speak
 Norman Thomas, socialist candi- date for president, will speak here at 2 D. nn., In the concluding ses- sion of the four-day Townsend con- vention.

ApproXi- mately o0,000 persons are expected to gather for the midwest launch ing of his presidential candidacy under the auspices of 'Dr. Town send, the Rev. Smith and Father Coughlin.

Local Optional Clause Is Proving Beneficial to
 State Prohibition

d survey by the United States BreWorB association reveals that Connecticut Is one of the states where forces favoring prohibition have made advances during the past year. Progress of the dry forces in this state has been made possi- bIe through the local option clause in the state liquor law.
 Six towns in the state forbade the sale of liquor Q year ago. Now there are 10 towns which bar sale of alcoholic beverages. The Con- neCticut figure is not alarming to brewers, however, in view of the fact that the national average for the increase in number of towns forbidding liquor by local option is 104 per cent.
 The only dry towns in the Water bury vicinity are Bethany and Bridgewater.
 Since last october g towns have voted on the liquor question in the state, and not one of them went dEy, all favoring granting of per- ull1SlOH AUE peEHuDCeeS " bell AquoE'
 "Local option" declared 0. D. Williams, secretary of the associa- ton, in Q report published recently, lis the first step in Q scheme to have nationwide prohibition in lO46." A countrywide increase of io4 per cent in the number of towns that have barred the sale of liquor by local option is noted by the brewers.
 "The brewing industry is not un- duly alarmed ct the swing toward local option," MT. Williams was quoted as saying, but the results indicate to the American public what inroads have already been made in the campaign to curtail their personal liberty again."
