OHIO: Senator Robert J. Bulkley, zoo per cent New Dealer" renomin- ated. Governor Martin L. Davey, anti-New Deal governor, defeated.
 w. VIRGINIA: Six incumbent New Deal representatives win re- nomination.
 VIRGINIA: William E. Dodd, Jr., political novice given some New Deal backing, badly beaten by Rep resentative Howard w. Smith, vet eran anti-New Dealer.
 FLORIDA: Senator Claude Pep per, New Dealer, won renomination.
 TEXAS: Maury Maverick, good friend" and progressive New Dealer, nosed out by Paul Kilday.
 MUCH
 AT STAKE
 In Nevada, Colorado and Con- necticut, the issue is not clearcut, for while it seems likely that the ad- ministration would like to see Sen- ators McCarran, Adams, and Lon- ergan of those states defeated, no active fight has been made against their renomination.
 In Pennsylvania, while New Deal Governor Earle won the Democra- tic senatorial nomination, Lieuten- ant-Governor Tom Kennedy, with strong labor and New Deal support, was beaten in the governorship race thus producing mixed result that rather defies analysis.
 For the future, however, the lines are in many states more closely drawn. In Georgia the cards are on the table. President Roosevelt wants Lawrence Camp nominated, and Senator Walter George defeated, be- cause he says it is clear to him that George, though estimable personal ly, does not sympathize with his legislative program and long-range economic objectives. Similar efforts to defeat Senator Cotton Ed" Smith in South Carolina, and prob ably Senator, Willard Tydings in Maryland are now expected. Can- didacy of James H. Fay in New York to oppose John O'Connell, a bitter New Deal foe in the House is ex- pected to draw similar administra- tion support.
 Control of the coming Congress, enactment of the Presidents legis- tive program, and control of the Democratic party in 1940 are the prizes at stake as the race draws near its dramatic end.

CITY PLUNGED
 INTO DARKNESS
Short Circuit Blacks Out Entire City at 9:3O
 Last Night

Stygian blackness enveloped the city last night when a main trans former at the Freight Street power house of the Connecticut Light and Power Company burned out, shut ting off all electric current. There was no electric service for five min- utes, and the city was in almost total darkness from 9:37 to 9:43.
 House lights, street lights and traffic signals all went off suddenly when the transformer failed. Householders groped through the darkness for flashlights and candles. Automobile headlights were the only illumination on the city's streets. At St. Mary's hospital a major operation was in progress when the current failed. Emergency lights were quickly turned on and the op- eration proceeded. The hospital re- ported that the operation proceeded successfully.
 Performances at moving picture theaters were interrupted and pa irons sat in the darkness until elec- tric service was restored.
 Service men at the power house reported that a short circuit caused high tension lines to transformer to go dead. A reserve transformer was placed into service.

Letter of Introduction" starring Charlie Mccarthy, Edgar Bergen, Adolph Menjou, Andrea Leeds and George Murphy continues to draw large crowds at Waterbury's only air conditioned motion picture house, the Warner Brothers State, where it is now in the first day of its three day hold over engage ment.
 Depicting emotional scenes, force- full direction, superlative acting, a powerful and dramatic story as well as plenty of comedy, this film is one that you can't afford to miss, in fact it is one of the grandest pie lures you'll see for years to come.
 Heading the cast are Adolph Menjou, Andrea Leeds, Edgar Ber- gen with the favorite Charlie Mo- Carthy and George Murphy. As the story embraces incidents in Ber- gems rise to fame with Mccarthy, excellent comedy opportunities are offered in its development.
 Because of the unique style of comedy employed by Bergen and Charlie, most of the incidents deal- ing with the pair, and practically all of the dialogue between the two were written by Bergen.
 So the story goes of Bergen, struggling ventriloquist who through meeting Menjou is started on the road to success and fame. The Bergen-McCarthy sequences will in- clude his appearances in swanky New York night clubs, his gradual rise to fame, and his ultimate suc- cess in radio. Several other com- edy sequences, between Menjou, Murphy, Andra Leeds, Rita Johnson and Eve Arden, are spotted through the production.
 Included on the same bill is Dan ger on the Air" with Donald Woods, Nan Grey, heading the capable cast

Diamonds Are Again
Very Fashionable.

Fashions in jewelry are changing.
Diamonds, quite out OF date a few
years ago. are now the most popular
stones They are cleverly used to en-
phasize design. Baguette diamonds
are often set so as to give flash or
ray effect, and are surrounded by
round or square cut stones.
Clips that can be used in several
different ways to form brooches Of
varying design are popular. A tiara,
for instance, is mounted on a wire
frame that can be removed A slender
diamond chain is added and the tiara
becomes q sparkling necklace, or the
center can be detached to be used as
a clip
Now that we show our ears again,
earrings have returned to favor. They
can be very long and graceful, or else
of the cluster type, sometimes in the
shape of scroll or a shell.
The newest dress ring is based on the
eternity" design. Two bands are
gem-studded all around and held in
place by q band or double roll Of
baguette cut diamonds.
