 To Spirited Contest
 For Coveted Position
Representative Dan Mahaney of Waterbury Among Senior Members of HOuse-l037 Legislatures
 Meet in Reunion at Hartford Today

Support for Democratic leadership in the general assembly is being sought by several representatives to- day with the word of the candidacy of T. Emmet Clairie, of Killingly, received by Waterbury's two Demo- cratic representatives, Rep. Daniel J. Mahaney and Attorney Hugo GuastafeTFi.
 Representative Mahaney has been approached however, by some of the representatives who have asked that he consider seeking the leadership of the minority group in the house. While he has not made decision, it was deemed likely today that as senior member, now entering his fifth term in the general assembly, he would find strong support should he want the leadership.
 Other Candidates
 On the other hand, with Rep. Clafrie, there are two other lawyers, Rep. Philip R. Pastore, of New Ha- ven, and Benjamin Tonkonow, of Meriden, who are out for the post.
 Democratic leaders have been ap- praised of the candidates and sup porters of Clairie have urged that the Windham county representative be given support because of the showing made by the party in that county, one of three carried by the Democrats in the last election. The contention is that counties other than Hartford and New Haven should have recognition.
 On the Republican side, Rep. Har-

New Zenith Radios
 Amaze Listeners
GA TOnaI Combinations Made Possible in "Radiorgan'
 TranscOntinentaI Tuning One of Many Features

A highly ingenious affair eln- bodied as an outstanding feature on the new Zenith radios and making 1t possible for the listenes Ito receive the complete range ot tona1 combinations, whether they he teble. bass, alto. or any Of the other inultittidinDus variations of tone" ls being intToduced under the name of aRAniurgafl" It consists Of a series of six keyl board tabs which make possible a choice of GA tOnal combinations.
 ''tt is no longer necessary. says Zenith, "t0 sacrifice high notes in case the listener wants the low notes accentuated, or vice versa"
 Another interesting feature on the new line Is automatic tuning that the listener can set himself if he waats to. No longer Is an ex- pert service man with an 0scilio- graph needed, say the makers, be- cause all one has to do is to flip off the silApplate cover that carries the call-letters for each button and turn 8 small screw to the station wanted. Just as the notes of a slide trombone sound as the slide is moved up or down, so the desired stations will come in one by one, as the listener makes the screw move up or down.
 Transcontinental Tuning
 This system of tuning on the Zenith line is now termed ''TraIs- continental" automatic tuning, be- cause there is no longer the neces- sity of limiting settings to local stations: the automatic feature will work perfectly even when dis tant stations are included among the settings.
 :. Press-a-butt0n tuning, first inc trodhced on Zenith radios as early as 1928, was presented under thes logan "Press the, Button There's Your Station'a Today the slogan is: '"Touch the Button There's Your Station".
 The system featured on this years models was both laboratory tested and field-tested. It is eem- pensated for varying tempera- lures end mechanical tensions thus eliminating drift, delay, and noise.
 The Zenith line includes Q new and enhanced selection of small radios. highlighted by . low- priced six-tube superheterodyne model in an attractive cabinet.
 There are new versions of the arm chair models which were first featured strongly two years ago as 8 result of the foresight of Com mander E. F. MeDonald Jr., president of Zenith, and which have become increasingly popu- lar during the last year; and also the full-sized consoles, including an entirely new small apartment size instrument.
 Every Need Fulfilled
 Significant, too, is an unusual ly complete selection of 8 farm or battery receivers for the un- electrified homes of rural areas.
 Zenith is emphasizing that it hopes to make radios available to many more people and for many more purposes than ever before
