prime ministers have found his serv-

is a lone wolf, untitled by tempera-
ment to serve under any master, and
too much of an individualist to make
popular leader of men. He has,
by the way one of the most caustic
tongues in Britain, and likes to use
it on all and sundry. Naturally,
that does not lend to popularity.
However, Churchill is credited
even by his severest critics with
having one of the most brilliant
minds of English history. He is a
man of so many achievements that
one hesitates to catalogue them for
fear of being charged with exagger-
alton.
He is at once a great orator, one
of the notable writer's of generations,
statesman of wide experience, a
soldier who knows war first-hand.
an expert on naval affairs and an
expert on aviation
He has the inventive mind of
genius. And with all that he has
tremendous driving force.

Political sources said M. Dala-
dier's address, scheduled for 8 pm.

restatement of French-B British war
aims and general review of the in
ternational situation.
While reports from the front indi-
Gated the Germans were gradually
employing larger units in assaults
in the Saarbruecken sector, French
observers said it was impossible to
say whether the increased Nazi ac-
tivity was prelude to a major Of
fensive.
These observers pointed out that
If the Germans plan any large scale
operations they must be undertaken
swiftly, because little more than
three weeks of good weather can be
expected.
There was no indication the
French planned an attempt to push
their lines further into Germany be-
fore the weather breaks.
Delay Seen Aiding French.
The absence of any mass attacks
by the Germans on the western
front since the beginning of hostili-
ties has given the French valuable
time in which to collect war sup
plies, complete mobilization and in
troduce thousands of soldiers to ac-
tual fighting conditions, it was said
To Offset this, the Nazi lines rap
idly were being cemented by troops
which already have had month
OF hard campaigning in Poland, OBJ
servers pointed out.
From the general tone of the
press it appeared that the French
would be content to hold gains they
already have made and let winter
and the British naval blockade take
their courses.
Ihere apparently was wide belief
that the Germans must score some
sort OF victory before winter sets in
to bolster the morale of the troops
and create a favorable impression
at home.
Use of the loudspeaker for 'front.'
line propaganda purposes, demon
strated for the first time in Spain,
also was reported. The French said
the Germans had been directing
virtual loudspeaker barrages against
their positions.

  to several important committees. In the house, where the Republicans have a large margin of votes, Rep. Daniel Mahaney, one of the veter- an Democrats, may be given recog- milton. It is doubtful, however, if Rep. Hugo Guastafferri, newconi- CT to the assembly, will be named.
 Democrats tomorrow will seek to have separate committees set up for the Senate and the house, but Republicans will probably vote through their plan of having joint committees from the two houses. In the Senate the two Socialists, who hold the balance of power, will no doubt vote with the Republicans in favor of joint committees. The deal" whereby the Socialists voted with the Republicans to allow the latter to organize the house, calls for several important committee posts for the Socialists, with Sen- tor Audubon Secor slated to go on the judiciary committee
 same Olu measures
 Democrats feel that Gov. Ray mond Baldwin, in his inaugural message, advocated many of the measures which they have sought for some years. This viewpoint was expressed by Senator Joseph DowneS, of Norwich, Democratic floor leader, who said he was pleas- ed to see the Republicans backing the Democratic program.
 The chairmanShip of the judi ciary committee in the Senate will go to Senator Anthony Rich, of Bristol, while that in the house to Rep. Hugh M. Alcorn, Jr., son of the prosecutor. Senator Charles Arrigoni of Durham is the most likely choice for chairman of the appropriations committee.
 The four Waterbury legislators nave been busy preparing a number of bills which they will introduce in the House and Senate.

VENy 9M UNZYyHCS
FORUM


 A two months pack trip through the Big Horn country of Wyoming was described by Bob Hewitt, cow boy and lecturer, at the Second Congregational church forum last night. Howard F. Tracy, of Wa terbury, introduced MT. Hewitt and appeared frequently in the pictures of the expedition of which he was a member.
 The trip included a long journey through the canyon of the Big Horn river. MT. Hewitt explained that the river trip is rarely attempted as there are no trails to follow. The trip is sometimes attempted by boat and has been successfully complet- ed by a number of groups, he said. Others have lost their lives on the river, which is treacherous and full of rapids. Pictures were shown of a party which made the trip in a row-boat with an outboard motor.
 MT. Hewitt showed striking pie lures of sunset and sunrise from the bottom of the valley, with the suns light flecking the rim of the canyon top. He also showed many pictures of camping and the pack train on the march.

 Mooney's final public appearance in a crowded day was at dance where he was again cheered.
 The parade started at the foot of Market street where union men locked arms to keep back the crowds. It proceeded past the in tersection of Steuart and Market where the bomb exploded on July 9, 1916.
 Mooney strode past the corner without apparently noticing. The only difference in his stride was a skip when he missed beat of the band and got out of step. He waved to crowds gathered at the corner and at other intersections along the line of march.

 Defense counsel declined to dis cuss their motive for subpoenaing the newspaper officials but it is a matter of speculation that the CO., operation of the controllers office in the publicity campaign is impli- cated.
 Fifty-three members of the fifth panel of veniremen will report to court tomorrow for questioning as prospective alternate jurors. The alternate jurors plan has been ac- cepted as precaution against mis- trial which might result from the illness or death of regular panel member.
 Sixth Panel in View
 In the event the two alternates are not obtained tomorrow, 8 sixth panel of veniremen, which was drawn Friday afternoon, will re- port Wednesday morning. The sixth panel includes 102 members, and presumably should be sufficient for the qualification of two alternate jurors.
 As the trial resumes tomorrow, tn state will have 93 challenges avail able and the defense will have 8l These figures included an additional A which were granted each at the time the stipulation for acceptance of alternate jurors was reached.
