newspapers of the state have
changed their predictions con-
corning impairment of the Demo-
cratic vote by a McLevy trend.
Now, their political writer's claim,
the Republicans will feel the de-
lection of votes to McLevy.
Mr.. Bronson holds with this
view, If McLevy polls an extreme
ly large vote next Tuesday. But
with this consideration to one
side, Mr.. Bronson is not of the
mind to wager large amounts of
money" that Governor Wilbur L.
Cross can be beaten, in any event.
Age Issue
He diSliked that portion of the
Republican campaign when can
didateS criticized Governor Cross
"for his age" A contemporary
in years, Mr.. Bronson remarked
of Governor Cross that the Con-
necticut four-term executive sis
erect, alert" and, further, Mr..
Bronson was emphatic in denounc-
ing attempted implication of Gov
ernor Cross in any of the matters
related to the two grand jury in

Jury Unfamiliar With Golf
Must Decide If Shot Is

New York. Nov. 5. UP)--A
supreme court jury that knows ''lit-
tie. II anything" about golf will de-
termine today the penalty--if any
for a golfing misue which bounced
on players head instead Of hit
ting the green.
1t can decide that the "slice" was
grievous to Ernest M, Corey, whom
it hit, to the extent Of $4,000, or
it can side with expert" defense
witnesses who commended that when
George Whatmougll dubbed the shot
he was committing a sin no greater
than the best professional players
commit occasionally.
In his charge to the jury, Justice
Charles Dodd said the main thing
to be decided was whether What
mough used ordinary intelligence
and caution. The hayward shot was
executed by Whatmough while play
ing in a fivesome with Corey three
years ago. Corey said it was a pretty
poor shot, that it Travelled 70 feet
off line, hit his head and caused
chronic dizzy spells. He asked $10,-
600 damages.
Coreys attorney, Arthur K. Wing,

Crowds, perhaps curious, perhaps
intending to vote for him, throng
his rallies. He has a fine record as
mayor; he is able, honest.
"But this election is not for the
choice of one man. It is a ticket,
running on platform.
McLevy, meantime, continued his
radio attack on both major parties,
charging collision and inefficiency.
He asked Governor Wilbur l.. Cross
to explain the states mounting
deficits, and why the Republicans
in the general assembly didn't do
something to prevent heavy expen-
ditureS.

gan, Democrat, seeking a second

pledge my every effort to tax
policy, and to a policy of regulation
which will not be oppressive, but
which will help restore and main

That incentive is profit"

Yowler crept around to the oppo-
site side of the tree and set his sharp
claws in the bark. Carefully, so as
to make no noise, he climbed until
he was opposite the branch on which
the four Gobblers were asleep. One
of them stirred. Yowler held his
breath and kept behind the trunk OF
the tree. When all was once more
quiet he crawled around and began
to creep out on that branch. He

his fierce, cleaning, yellow eyes,
fixed on those dark masses in that
tree showing so plainly against the
light of Mistress Moon. His big
padded feet were put down so care
fully that not a sound did they make.
Yowler wasn't sure that those dark
masses in the tree were anything in
which he might be interested, but he
intended to find out. Long ago he

Have you ever seen common, or
dinary, everyday cat trying to creep
unseen to the foot of a tree on a
lower branch of which a young bird
was sitting? If so, you know just
about how Yowler the Bobcat looked
as he stole toward the queer looking
tree he had discovered in the Green
Forest. Keeping where the Black
Shadows were blacklist, he crept for
ward with his stomach almost
touching the ground. 1t didn't quite
touch lest it rustic the dry leaves
on the ground, but it was just as
near to touching without quite doing
It as possible. Hiszhead was thrown

this was no place for Jump. 1t
would mean a fall for which he had
no liking. He must creep out and
seize his victim.
Inch by inch he crept out. The
branch bent under his added weight.
Without warning there was sharp
crack and the branch sagged sharp
ly. In a flash the Gobblers were
wide awake and in the air. while

bit to avoid being crowded.
A glad light, the light of UNDER

yellow eyes. He had stumbled on
the roosting place of the Gobbler
family! Each one of those big, black
masses was a Gobbler!

But it must be done very, very care
fully. 1t must, be done in a way
which will avoid the possibility Of
danger. So this is why he was creep
ing so cautiously toward that tree.
He was quite under the tree and
still he had not found out what those
black masses over his head were. He
crouched fiat and glared up, trying
to make out what they were. Then

Don't Sit Back
Businessmen today reflect this
attitude. They say that the Presi-
dent thinks he knows all about
business, so let him run it. They
have not shown any interest in
the $5,000,000,000 spend lend pro-
gram. Yet, this money is going into
homes that need just about every
thing. 1t will be spent in retail
stores almost as soon as it is hand
ed out. Inventories are low. Any
substantial increase in orders could
produce a stampede for goods. So
businessmen, instead of selfishly
holding back, should Immediately
cooperate with this spending pro-
gram.
I believe that If businessmen, in
total, would match this govern
ment expenditure - match it in
spite of any fears they might have
of future legislation and match it
in spite of their distrust of the
Administration would quickly
be on the way up. How should busi-
ness spend its share? III advertis-
ing, in putting workers back into
employment, in purchasing wisely
for future needs, in lowering prices
enough to appeal to those who al
ready have money to spend.
