A ruling by Compensation Com missioner James M. Lynch of this city, that Michael Manning of New Britain who was injured while work ing for the F. E. R. A. in that city, June 18, 1884 is not entitled to com- pensation, was upheld in decision handed down this week by the su- preme court of errors of the State of Connecticut.
 Vert to High Court
 Commissioner Lynch rendered his decision when he heard the case at New Britain, as acting commission CT of the First District. The deci- sion also upholds the ruling of Superior Court Judge Edward J. Quinlan, for the case was later tried by that jurist.
 The ruling in opposition to Man. ning's claim is based on the fact that he accepted disability benefits for more than two years from a re- serve fund established by the State Emergency Relief Commission.

cratic Representatives are threatened
This charge is made particularly in
connection with the 18th district
where former Representative Clarence
J. Mcleod, Republican, is opposing
Representative George D. O'Brien
Mcleod is rated to have a first-class
chance of defeating O'Brien, even by
Democrats with whom I have talked.
Under the Michigan law it would be
possible for w. P. A. workers to move
in and register up to the 18th of this
month.
In addition to the 18th district, the
Republicans are said to have the edge
in the sixth, where former Representa-
tive William Blackney is expected to
take the measure of his Democratic
opponent, Representative Andrew J.
Transue. Flint is in this district, where
a lot of strike trouble has occurred.
Other districts in which the Repub-
licans are given q chance to win over
incumbent Democrats include the 11th
where Representative Luecke is op-
posed by Fred Bradley: the 18th, the
18th and the 14th. The last two are
in Detroit. The 14th is represented
by Representative Rabaut, Democrat,
who voted against the reorganization
bill. That, it is said, may pull him
through. The 18th is represented by
Dingel, who is sponsoring the new
pension bill for the New Dealers.
In the first district the Renlh1ica 6
have nominated Charles A. Rox-
borough, colored. former State Sena-
tor, against r. G. Tenerowicz, who de.
feated Representative Sadowski for the
nomination. Tenerowicz did time
once, but received a pardon.

sy the Associated Press.
SIOUX FALLS. S. OAK, Oct. H.
Republican Arthur Vandenberg con-
tended last night that Congress has
given the President something "close
to totalitarian power-as it is known
in Europe"
The Michigan Senator made this
charge in an address prepared for de-
livery to a Republican rally here and
by radio, to the Nation The address
was the first of four scheduled for de-
livery by Senator Vandenberg in the
1898 congressional campaign.
Calling for the election this year OF
a Senate and House which speak in
dependently for themselves and the
American people," Senator Vanden-
berg warned the voters against a drift
toward centralized power.
I'VE have no divine immunity to
the seeping, sweeping forces of au-
tocracy that elsewhere have freedom
by the throat" he said. "On the
contrary, we, too, have felt both the
promise and the pressure of the iron
heel.
First Step Taken
"Mr Secretary Wallace says we are
headed for what? For frontiers quite
different from any we have ever
known! The President himself as
serts that he has created instru-
mentalities of power which in wrong
hands would do what? 'Shackle the
liberties of the people! The Supreme
Court has said every journey to for
hidden land begins with the first
step!'
We have taken that first sinister
step. A supine, understanding
mimeographing Congress has taken
it by lodging more individual, personal
power in the President than was ever
before exercised in America by one
man"
what he said was the attempt to
pack the Supreme Court of the United
States with responsible pawns," to
enact the Government reorganization
bill and to "hog-tie the great quasi
judicial Federal commissions"
Farm Program Attacked.
ITO cap the climax" Senator Van
denberg asserted. Ibis dynastic, ditto
friends and satellites are already seek
ing to build for him third, consecu-
tive presidential term-which Wash
ington refused, which Jefferson repu-
dated, which none of their success
sors has ever dared pursue and which
easily could end all but the shadow
and fiction of democracy"
Criticizing administration policies,
Vandenberg asserted that I'VE are at
sea-with experimental folly for a
chart and one impetuous and per-
suasive personality for a compass"
The New Deals farm program has
failed" he said, that is. it has failed
the average American farmer on his
own farm 1t has not failed the
bureaucrats. the little dictators and
the farm policemen"
Senator Vandenberg said that you
can't build a solvent prosperity around
an insolvent Treasury that is run by
spendthrifts on the basis of ji'terburg
arithmetic"
