Chairman
 John w. Shenton, Bridgeport city treasurer, declared that Mayor McLevy and his party have made an enviable record in the manage ment of Bridgeports affairs. The Socialist party, he said. brought honesty and common sense to po- litical government" in the Park City.
 When Mayor McLevy took office, he said, Bridgeport finances were in perilous condition, but his ef- forts have since brought surplus in the city treasury. City money, he declared. has been made to stretch much further than it did when Republicans and Democrats were in control of the city govern ment.
 MT. Shenton attacked conditions in Waterbury, and asserted that to improve the local situation strong Socialist vote should be gathered.
 Health Commissioner George Murgatroy of Bridgeport predicted that cooperation of the working people will place MT. McLevy in the governors chair at Hartford.
 John w. Ring, local Socialist lealer, acted as chairman of the rally.

 London, July Tone of the hor-- nets from the nest which Neville Chamberlain, Tory Prime Minister of Great Britain is apparently pull ing down about his ears with his do-nothing stand in the face of the bombardment of over 50 British ships by Spanish rebel airplanes, is the amazing, dark-haired, keen- minded little Duchess of Atholl.
 Long member of the Conser- vative party, which rules Britain, she recently rebelled against its lead- CT, Chamberlain, and is now one of the leaders in a complicated par liamentary attack on him and his realistic" government. She gave de- tails of many allegedly German made, high-powered, long-range cannon installed in Algeciras, after its capture from Loyalist Spain by Rebel General Franco. Her point was that these guns are threat to the Rock of Gibraltar, just across the narrow Strait of Gibraltar.
 Well" said the Duchess, what are you going to do about it?" Such questions can be embarrass- ing, at times. But those who know the Duchess were not surprised

that she stood up and asked it.
 The Duchess has sat for a Scotch constituency ever since 1923 and was Undersecreary of State for the Ministry of Educa- ton under Baldwin from 1924 to 1929. Her passions are education and music. To this should be added-Freedom. So great is her love of freedom that some of the die-hard, red-faced, double-bar- reled-named Tories puff and pant that she is Red Duchess" {" The cause of their wrath is that she has repeatedly taken the part of the Loyalist government of
