publican rallies. This year however they were missing.
 The Young Republican movement throughout the state, however, is growing, and today the Young Re- publicans of the state have either the chailmanShip or control of the town committees of 60 towns in Connecticut.
 McLevy Popular
 With this strength behind it, and with what additional strength it might gather between now and con- vention day, one can expect almost anything to happen. The Young Re- publican faction headed by Senator J. Kenneth Bradley of Westport and his close ally, Samuel Pryor, Jr. of Greenwich might, if they capture sufficient support at the convention, draft the name of Jasper McLevy, socialist mayor of Bridgeport to run for governor on 8 fusionist ticket.
 It is felt by many through Litch- field county that the strongest and most popular candidate the Repub- lican party can run for congress from the fifth district is MT. Wall. That his name will be presented to the convention and that his popu- larity will continue to increase is an assured fact.

Attending Physician Finds General Pershing's COn-
 ditiOn UnfavOrable

Tucson, Ariz., Feb. 24-(UP)-- General John J. 2ershing, i'll with heart trouble, is definitely weaker and somewhat apathetic," his phys ician, pr. Roland Dawson, said to- day.
 General Pershing is not as well this morning as he was yesterday, Dr. Dawson said. He had rest less night. While he is free from pain, he is definitely weaker and somewhat apathetic.
 "This may be only temporary or it may presage more serious conse- quences. While there is no heart failure, his physicians are not fully satisfied with the heart condition, Dr. Davison said.
 The physicians appeared worried about the 77-year old generals con- dition.
 Pershing's only son, Francis War ren Pershing, flew here from Flor ida and arrived today.
 "They talked only briefly" Dr OdFAoOAA oo1us AAC oOAA AAsJ VI eSA lowed to see and talk to his father later in the day.
 George A. c. Christancy, long time friend of Pershing, said the general wanted to get up and dress this morning for the arrival of his son Physicians would not permit this.
 To be near the general, hristancy is sharing a cottage with Pershing and four other persons at the des- ert Sanitarium.

FLORA ENCLEMAN
 SETTLES ACTION
$5,OOO Ac tion Against Steinman Style ShOppe
 Withdrawn Today

Settlement was reported today in the 5000 civil action of Flora Engleman against the Steinman Style Shoppe Inc, which had been pending trial in the court of com mon pleas, before a jury. The case was withdrawn today.
 The woman claimed damages for injuries suffered in a fall on the sidewalk in front of the defend ants store, "A South Main street, January IT. 1885. An icy formation on the sidewalk is said to have caused the fall.
 Also withdrawn from the court today was the foreclosure action of Virginia Belval against John J. Me Namara and others. The plaintiff claimed she had been granted a Judgment of $533 against the de- fendants in the court, June 24, 1897. She had placed liens against the defendants property, and in the new action sought foreclosure of these liens.

expected to turn thumbs down on the nomination of J. Warren Up- son, chairman of the Waterbury Re- publican town committee and the party'S unsuccessful candidate for congress during the last national election.
 Wall, who has been one of the party's strongest supporters in Litchfield county, has served at court prosecutor for the city of Tor rington and is particularly well known throughout the entire dis trict, especially in Thomaston.
 Bitterness Evident
 During the last convention with the names of Upson and Wall be- fore it the convention endorsed Up- son for the post. At that time there was considerable bitterness existing within the party. Claims were made at that time that some of the dele gates double crossed their constitu- ents and voted in for the nomina- ton of Upson.
 Upson's bad defeat was proof, so it is claimed, that the party erred in nominating him. Many were of the opinion then that had Wall been nominated he could have con- ducted a much more vigorous and effective campaign.
 One thing which stood out prom inently. more prominently than any thing else, at the Mckinley dinner was the lack of Old Guard mem bers' faces. Faces which for many years have been seen at various Re-

stores made early in the morning, if possible, thereby leSSening traffic and parking difficulties later in the day. N
 Conferences
 Supt. Roach and officers of the traffic squad have already ap- pro. .ched officials of several firms and been promised their cooperation. At least one express firm has agreed to rearrange it's delivery schedules in such a way that virtually all shipments in the downtown section will be delivered before 10 or 10:30 a. m. Deliveries to other parts of the city will be made later in the day.
 It is understood that no hard and fast rules will be set but that buSi- ness men will merely be asked to agree to cooperate as much as pos sible. It is the police hope that even- tually all delivery schedules can be so arranged that almost all ship ments will have been unloaded and delivered by late morning each day.
 Solves Difficulties
 Success of the plan will mean eli- imitation of much of the parking and traffic difficulties which now prevail in the downtown district Commercials vehicles are often, by necessity, parked double, or along bus stands and crosswalks. This not only makes parking difficult for others but creates a dangerous traffic hazard.

UNCLE PAYS LESS THAN HALF

Hartford, Conn, Feb. 24-OP)- The federal government was paying less than half the relief load in Connecticut cities and towns during December, 1887, a report from the state welfare department disclosed today.
 Tn that month, the report said, Washington paid 48.1 per cent of Connecticut's relief cost, the first time in several months the federal government contributed less than the combined contributions of the state, cities, towns and counties.
 The state, during December, paid 23.6 per cent of the relief load, towns and cities 262 per cent, and the counties the remaining 2.1 per cent.
 Decrease of the federal load was attributed to cutting down in WPA and CCC expenses.

.7 SQUADRONS IN
 BOMB ATTACKS
Chinese Air Headquarters Releases Facts on Fora
 f1Osa Raid
By JOHN R. MORRIS fIInited Press Staff CorresnOndentl

United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 Shanghai, Feb. 24.-(UP)-Chi- neSe air force headquarters said of- ficially today that seven squadrons of Chinese planes took part yeSter- day in raids on Formosa, Japanese island of the southeast China coast.
 It was asserted that the rading aviators saw 40 Japanese airplanes on the field at Taihoku and that scores of bombs were rained on them. It was impossible, headquar- ters said, to determine the extent of damage.
 Observers here speculated widely on the reason for the Formosa raid, completely new development in that it took the war fighting to Japanese soil.
 Some suggested that the govern ment wanted to take the minds of people abroad of Europe and bring interest back to China's plight; others thatt he government sought to appease authorities of the Can- ton area, where Japanese have been bombing severely for weeks. Most of the Cantonese airplanes have been sent north to reinforce the National government air force.
 No information was available here on the identity of pilots who took part in the raid. Russian sources suggested the possibility that Rus sian pilots might have participated, and made of the raid celebration of the anniversary of the founding of the Soviet Russian army. There was expectation that Japan would soon retaliate for the Formosa raid Weather was ideal for flying today.
 (The Exchange Telegraph of Lon- don. in a dispatch from Hong Kong. reported that two Japanese planes were shot down in Kwangtung prov ince, in the south, when II Chinese pursuit planes surprised 13 Japanese bombers on the way to Namyung.) Foreign military observers report ed that Chinese resistance in the sector west of the Peiping- -Hankow railroad in northern Honan prov- ince and above the Yellow river was unexpectedly strong. The Japanese spokesman at Peiping asserted, how ever, that Japanese troops occupied all of Honan north of the Yellow river"
 Japanese endorsements were pouring in toward the river to strengthen their lines of communi- cations and it was expected that they would attempt to cross to the south bank soon to gain control of the western portion of the east-west Lunghai railroad which interceptS the north and south Peiping- -Han- how line at Chengchow.

Roosevelt Plea
Asks an End TO
Class Warfare
Spirit of Christmas
Mankind's Hope,
He Declares

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.
(UP)-The nation had be-
fore it today the plea of
President Roosevelt t h a t
class problems be settled in
an atmosphere of good will.
The Presidents appeal was read
by Secretary of Commerce Harry
Hopkins last night in a radio for
um which aimed to combat forces
creating class warfare in the United
States.
The President said that the first
Christmas message, as announced
to the Shepherds of Bethlehem
was that the glad tydingS are for
all of the people
NO one was overlooked or for
gotten" he said, ''When the multi
tude sang-glory to God in the
highest and on earth peace, good
will to men. The JOY and happiness
of Christmas time extends to all
nations and to all the people. The
spirit of Christmas is the hope of
mankind"
Hopkins added that "it some
times appears that the whole world
is seeking to destroy itself in bit
terness and hate" but that such
was not the case because the AM
erican family is determined to find
a good way of living, by working
hard, by being inherently honest
and by a wholesome JOY of living.
