than a dozen well aimed monkey wrenches.
 Same Story Elsewhere
 It is almost the same story in Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. From coast to coast it is the Democratic party which has most to lose and least to gain today. Three unprecedented electoral triumphs have created a situation in which there scarcely are more political prizes from Dem ocrats to capture.
 Belief that Republican gains may discover a conservative" trend are confused by 8 croSsfire of old age pension and relief proposals and the fact that both Republican and Democratic candidates in various states have endorsed schemes crit icized for their departure from sound money" principles. Repub- licans have made deal with Town send plan pensioners in Massachu- settS.
 Gov. Frank F. Merriam, Republi- can, in California is allied with the Townsendites but repudiated the $30-every- Thursday pension plan which helped Sheridan Downey and Culbert Olson to win Democratic senatorial and gubernatorial nom- nations, respectively Nevada and Colorado are among states where Democrats complain of an alliance between pension planners and Re- publicans and the issue is big in other states.
 Polls indicate that the California plan, best advertised of the year, will be rejected.
 Gov. Murphy hias Battle
 New Deal prestige is in the bal ance in Michigan where Gov. Frank Murphy, 100 per center, seeks re- election against former Gov. Frank D. Fitzgerald, Republicans. Mur- phys handling of sitdown strikes in automobile plants is the specific is- sue.
 The tabulated vote there and across country will indicate wheth- CT New Deal labor policies have alienated some of the legions who rolled up the spectacular Denfocra= tic triumphs of 1932-34-36.
 Pennsylvania is choosing between it's experiment with Democratic of- flee holders or a return to the Re- publican tradition. That race is giving Democratic leaders more concern that they care publicly to admit. Gov. George H. Earle, Dem ocrat, seeks senatorial election against. Sen. James J. Davis, Re- publican member of the Hoover ca binet and since 1930 in the Senate. Charles Alvin Jones, Democrat, op- poses Judge Arthur H. James, Re- publican, for governor.

HOLLYWOOD VERY
 MUCH STARTLED

Hollywood, Nov. 7-(UP)-Para- mount Studios announced today that in January they will begin broadcasting to the homes of New Yorkers-and later to living rooms throughout the land-televised mov- ies of Hollywodo stars. Stanton Grifis, chairman of the studios executive committee, said that house-slippered movie fans would need only television receiving set.
 He said the New York transmit ter, now being erected at Montclair, N. J., would be ready for operation by the first of the year and that other sending stations, intended eventually to blanket the country, would be built as rapidly as possible thereafter.
 His announcement startled Holly wood, where television long has been regarded as possibly formidable competitor in the entertainment world, threatening to empty theaters of their customers and to revolu- tonize movie production and dis tribution.

MYSTERY AT SEA
 MAY BE TRAGEDY

Providence, R. |, Nov. 8-(UP)- An empty stateroom on a Long Island Sound steamer and an unoc- cupied Forest Hills, L. l., apartment rented by the same woman puzzled Providence and New York police to- day. While local police investigated a belated report that woman giv- ing her name as Mrs. Loretta Schaeffer of Forest Hills and pos- sibly her husband and baby had disappeared from the Colonial lines steamer Comet last Friday, New York police learned that she had written a letter to her prospective landlady sayng:
 My husband has been killed in an automobile accident and Twill be unable to take the apartment" An apartment at 6801 Clyde street, Fora est Hills, was rented by Mrs. Schaeffer last Friday. at which time she paid the landlady, Mrs. Luden, a $5 deposit. She told Mrs. Luden that her husband was ''Dr. William F. Schaeffer." According to tele- type message from New York police, their records showed no automobile fatality in winch "Dr. Schaeffer" was the victim, nor could they find any record of such name.

Hazards From Flood
 Efficiently Abated
No Outbreak of Epidemic Disease Follows Hurricane
 Despite Untold Hardships t

health created by the disaster wera quickly and efficiently abated with no outbreak of epidemic disease, Damages to public supplies and sew- age disposal systems, the flooding of many sections by polluted water, the contamination of wells, and the ex- posture of relief workers and others to possible outbreaks of intestinal disease created the most urgent need for concerted effort and prompt ac- tion on the part of state and local departments of health and other lo- cal agencies as well as the public.
 Breakdowns in public water sys- tems were checked. In all, ten wa ter supplies for municipalities and two state institutional supplies re- quired attention from the sanitary engineers of the state department of health. Several emergency chlorirla- ting machines were installed to dis infect water supplies affected by the disaster.
 Under the governors authoriza. tion chloride of lime, typhoid vac- cine and tetanus antitoxin were pro- vided to towns in the state. The chloride of lime was required by 54 towns and the vaccine by 39 towns. Those persons working in the flood area who had not been inoculated at the time of the 1886 flood or subse- quent to it received the routine triple injections.
 Red Cross nurses supplemented local nursing services where neces- sary. A total of 149 nurses worked during the disaster, 32 of whom were Red Cross nurses. Other agencies gave the services of 79 nurses while 38 nurses were independent volun- teerS.
 Reports indicate that 210 persona were hospitalized, 116 were treated in hospital emergency rooms, 84 in the shelters provided and 17 at First Aid Stations. A total of 427 disaster patients were located in the survey. With care to isolate all suspected cases of communicable disease and precaution to maintain and eStab- fish sanitary conditions no unusual illness occurred and the regular hos- pitals were able to care for all sick and accident cases.
 Experience acquired from the flood of 1886 stood communities in good stead and enabled them to attack vigorously and promptly the prob- lem of cleaning up and disinfecting all flooded buildings. Such prompt and efficient steps for the protection of the public health were possible only with the cooperation of all agencies concerned, both public and private.

NEW YORK STATE.
 VERY DOUBTFUL.
Weather May Decide Is- sues at Stake; Lehman, .
 Dewey in Close Race

New York, Nov. 8.-(UP). New York state voters crowded to the polls today under weather condi- tions which-in the early hourse, at least favored the Republicans in their strongest off-year challenge to the New Deal. Generally fair weather prevailed Upstate, where the Republicans are strongest in the farming sections. So close was the gubernatorial race between Gov. Herbert H. Lehman, the Democratic incumbent, and Thomas E. Dewey, .his Republican opponent, that ob- servers believed the weather factor might have an important effect on the outcome.
 Showers in N. Y City
 Showers fell in New York city, but it was generally agreed that the Democratic city machine would have more success getting out the vote under bad weather conditions than Republican party workers would if it rained upstate.
 The fail weather reports from up- state encouraged Dewey supporters, who hoped to pile up a large enough plurality there to offset Lehman's better chances in the metropolis Where the weather was threatening Republican leaders worked hard to get out the vot.
 Indications were that approxi- mately 5,000,0O0 of the states S. 557,845 registered voters fould cast their ballots.
 Fate of Gov. Lehman
 They decided the fate of Lehman who had given them six years of social reform patterned after New Deal laws; of Senator Robert F. Wagner, author of the national la- bro relations act, the national hous- ing amendment and other New Deal projects, and of Dewey. the rackets prosecutor who was on threshold of a meteoric political career.
 Republicans, nominally in control of the state outside New York city placed their hopes in Dewey, who campaigned as a crusader against corrupt politics, and charged that after six years of Democratic ad- ministration, the corrupt machines are still doing business at the same old stand"
 City Conceded to Democrats
 There were 5,557, ,486 voters regis tered; 2,434,137 in New York city The city was conceded to the Demo- crats. The outcome depended on whether Republicans upstate could poll enough votes to offset their city losses.
 Labor unions generally were SUD- porting the Democratic candidates but defections had been reported from the labor party winch also had nominated Lehman, Wagner and most of the Democratic slate.

STATE OVERCOMES
 TASTES IN WATER
Situation During Autumn Months Indicates No
 Change in Purity

While in some instances, water from the public supply system may become somewhat altered in taste and color for a short time during the fall months this situation, the result of natural process, has been largely overcome in Connecti- cut, and in any case such changes do not indicate any change in the purity of the water system officials state.
 Objectionable changes in color, smell and taste which may de- velop in the water at other seasons have likewise been to great ex- tent conquered in the march of science, so that they are today mo- ticeable only in rare instances.
 Temperatures
 The change in color and taste which takes place in untreated wa ter during the fall is due to the movement from warm to cooler tenn peratures, which sets up vertical currents in the water and causes the lake to "boil'. In this process, the deeper water comes to the surface, carrying with it some of the putre- factive mass of decomposing leaves and other vegetation at the bottom of the lake. This imparts an ob- jectionable taste and alters the color of the water. A similar boiling" occurs in the spring.
 At other times, alterations in taste may develop from decomposi- tion of vegetation or from the pres- ence of small microscopic growths generally known as algae.
 Some of these troubles can be overcome by treating the water with copper sulphate to reduce the tiny growths, or by other methods. More frequently, however, filtration with possibly aeration and chemical treatment proves to be the most ef- fective method of securing low colored and paltable water, an ob- jective which all public supply syS- tems seek. Filtration and chlorina- tion have found widespread use in Connecticut, not only for this req son but because sthey eliminate from the supply all disease-carying bac- teria.
 Water is sometimes aerated by spraying it into the airt through nozzles CT pipes, or by allowing it to flow in thin sheets over baffled plates. This is done principally to release dissolved gases from decom- position of organic matter as well as the tastes and odors caused by the presence of algae. If the water lacks oxygen, aeration supplies it and combats corrosive tendencies. Although introduced only a decade ago, the value of activated carbon in removing objectionable tastes and odors from water is also widely recognized.
 Most Of the water systems in Connecticut employ one or more of the methods outlined for protecting the palatability of their supply and in this way are able to furnish not only water which is free from bac- teria but one which is also appeal ing to the taste.
