 night McLevy Harpoons Rival Parties.

Hartford, Conn, Nov. 2-(UP)- WPA workers and state employees are being forced to contribute to the Democratic campaign fund in Connecticut, Wesleyan University President James L. McConaughy, Republican candidate for Lieuten- ant governor, charged today.
 McConaughy, in a campaign ad- dress, said 300 WPA workers in an unnamed community least of here" were obliged to collect their wages at Democratic headquarters in another town where they were asked to contribute to the Dem- ocratic fund.
 Deducted
 He said a woman state employe was asked by deputy state com- missioner to contribute, and that when she objected, the man took money from her pay envelope. No names were mentioned.
 T don't insinuate that Governor Cross knows anything about these goings-on," McConaughy said. that's the tragedy of these things, if they are true-there is no ques- tion of the honesty of the gover- nor-the question is the type oi people he has apparently been forced to have around him."
 Meantime, Democrats prepared to hold a major rally here tonight with national chairman James A. Farley as guest speaker. All mem- bers of the state ticket will speak briefly.

 The Forest Office reports fire is coming unpleasantly close to the Camp Bellton settlement which is directly in the path of the fast nov ing flames.
 Flames in other sectors are nov ing swiftly, especially toward the Comax Landing camp and three other lumber camps where from thirty to sixty million feet of bucked timber is stored.
 Elks Falls is also threatened.
 The resort at Firbes Landing ap- peared spared from destruction. This place was threatened yester- day but the wind veered just in time after one building had caught afire and burned.
 Canadian destroyers St. Lawrence and Trader are standing by in Dun- can Bay ready to proceed to any district to assist residents to escape from the flames. Even this town is considered a possible threat from flames of the forest.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July 20. Officials of the West Coast Mari time Employers Association said they are undecided whether to re- new the present contracts which are expiring on September 31.
 On Monday the Unions offered to renew the contracts with the em- ployers, just as they stand, for the purpose of eliminating uncertainty in future labor relations in the ship ping industry so as to offset fears of shippers.
 The statement issued by the en- ployers raps the unions over un- authorized "quickie strikes and work stoppages.
 Despite the expressed prohibi- ton of work stoppages in the pres ent contracts, we have had over 200 illegal stoppages of work since the contracts were signed" said AL mon E. Roth, President of the Wa terfront Employers Association.
 Roth suggested that new guaran- tees against stoppages of work be incorporated in the contracts for next year.

 Senator Reynolds is bound for Alaska to study Alaskan defenSes and the recent Japanese invasion of fishing grounds especially in the Bristol Bay area.
 Senator Reynolds said he believes the Pacific Coast is better protect ed than the Atlantic Coast on ac- count of the strategic position of Alaska and Hawaii.
 Senator Reynolds declared that the International Highway between the United States and Alaska is im- perative.
 Critics of Senator Reynolds plan immediately pointed out that Cana da is a separate Commonwealth and is not responsible for the war debts of Great Britain and therefore it is not likely that Canada will agree to cession of the corridor referred to-
