In asserting that Water bury's taxes are actually less than those of New Haven, Hartford and Bridgeport he went directly into an issue that the fusionists ap- parentIy thought he would try to Sidestep.
 There seems little doubt but that Republicans and Independent Dem' ocrats were caught of guard by the mayors direct challenge to them te disprove his statements. The fusior leaders seemed to have the Idea thai the Hayes campaign would be ont directed against them personally and they were caught mapping wher he declared that the adminiStra' tion's record of the past eight years Is the sole issue of the campaign.
 As the campaign finally gets un- derway the Democrats have the ad- vantage of being "in" and the help of Q strong, efficient party organ lxatiOn. The fusionists, on the other hand, will find their only strength in complete unity of the two factions In their movement, but that unity apparently has not yet been achieved, with an united organization the fusionistS would offer much stronger threat to the reelection of the Democrats than they do ct the present time.

 Called Llbelous
 A Wednesday night extra of the newspaper made what state authori- ties termed "a libelous attack or several state officials, including the governor.
 One statement in the newspaper called Quinn "A liar" and resulted in O'Hara being arrested twice on criminl libel charges. He is free in $l0,000 total bail furnished by Mayor Thomas Mccoy of Pawtucket-site of the lucrative track.
 In the event the racing commis- sion decided to revoke or suspend the tracks license at the Tuesday hearing, O'IIara's attorneys had plans mapped out to meet the at- tack. They were to go immediately to the state supreme court and re- quest a writ of certiorari and an order restraining the commission from takin gaway the tracks H. cense until the high court has re- viewer proceedings.
 What O'EIara Says
 O'Hara, meanwhile, contended tat the hearing was planned by the commission merely to force him out of the Rhode Island racing pic- ture.
 The governors only comment fol- lowing the supreme court ruling yesterday was terse:
 T stand by my previous state ment. The fight to drive Walter E. o'Hara out of Rhode Island will continue"

today that Russia would send her own destroyers to protect her Medi. terranean shipping against pirate" submarine attacks.
 This independent convoy plan was believed to be back of hints in the officially inspired newspapers that the government would take di. rect action to protect its ships.
 It was believed also that the Rus sian convoy plan might explain tie speech at the Mediterranean cons ference yesterday in which maxim Litvinov, RusSia's foreign commits Sar and chief delegate, said:
 "The Soviet government cannoo allow anyone to destroy Its state property. It must and will take its own measures" 33
 Litvinov'S reference to state prop erty was to Russian merchantmen, all government owned. A submar- inc attack on a Russian merchant. man is not an attack on @ private vessel, but on @ unit of the goverTfr ment's own fleet.
