Communities
BY United Press)

Voters in IA Of Connecticut's 1859
towns and cities go to the polls to-
day to elect their selectmen and
mayors.
Except in few rare instances,
the elections campaigns have been
conducted quietly. Party leaders
have issued the usual predictions
of victory, but interest remained
lackadaisical.
City elections were scheduled for
Bristol, Torrington and .NorWalk.
Other large communities holding
elections were East Hartford, West
Hartford, West Haven, Danbury,
Putnam, Vernon and Norwich.
The Socialist party, which start
led the state last November by pol
ling 10000 votes, has entered tick
cts in but five communities Mil
ford, New Towtown, Norwalk,
Trumbull and Wallingford.
Democrats are in control at Tor
rington and Norwalk and have high
hopes of retaining power there. In
addition, predictions were heard
Democrats might capture Bristol
from the Republican administration.
Republicans in the smaller COM
munities, where great g. o. r.,
strength is concentrated.
The Democratic power, which is
concentrated in the larger cities of
the state, will not be evident, in
the minds of political observers, I'M

STATE PAROLE
SYSTEM WEAK
Author Says Connecticut
Supervision Danger
Ously Inadequate

Hartford, Conn, Oct. 2-UP)-
Connecticut's parole system was de-
scribed today as "weak" an in GER
tain cases dangerously inadequate
in q book written by Wilbur Laroe,
Jr., member Of the District Of Co
lumbia board of parole.
The book is entitled Parole With
Honor" and was published by the
Princeton University press today.
1.-THE weakness of parole as ad-
ministered in Connecticut, Laroe
said, "is, that there is too close an
identity between the paroling au-
thority and the management OF
penal institutions"
The Connecticut parole board con-
sists Of directors Of the state prison
and the warden.
Parole supervision here was de-
scribed as dangerously inadequate. -
"At the state prison." the book
said, "a single parole officer and his
assistant are placed in charge OF
parole investigation and supervi-
sion"
Laroe recommended personal SUI
pervision by large staff especially
trained for the work.

PITTMAN CLAIMS
LAW A HANDICAP

Washington, Oct. 2 - U.P) -
Senator Key Pittman, D., New.
chairman of ten senate foreign re-
lations committee, declared today
that the present neutrality law
handicaps America in her determin-
alton to stay out of war.
Opening a momentous senate de-
bate on neutrality law revision, the
lean, drawing westerner centered
his attack on provisions of the pres
ent act which permit American
ships to carry any goods except arms
to ten warning nations. He urged
repeal Of the arms embargo, which
he said was not true symbol OF
American neutrality.
"The danger to this nation lies
not so much in the type of goods
that it exports, but in the fact that
American vessels are used for ship
ping" Pittman said.

Rhode Island to take part in an
other race. After completing this
race he drove for many hours to re-
turn to Waterbury, where he was
involved in an accident at South
mayd road and East Main street,
when he sideswiped an automobile
owned by Anthony Palladino, Of
Dikeman street.
In suspending sentence, after d.
Iorio said he had paid for the dam
age to the other car, Judge Gaffney
said the cast was a bit out Of the
ordinary and that the accused had
shown the good grace to plead
guilty to both charges.
The case Of Harry Rivet, 81, Of
Southington, who was tentatively
fined 500 and costs, SIS being re-
mitted, on Sept. IL on charges of
drunken driving, was continued for

nNcE again at the automobile
~ shows and at it's dealer show
rooms in every community through
out the land, the motor car industry is
in the process of displaying its new
models before the sight and judgment
of America.
How well and how widely these cars
win favor, is important not only to
those who make them, but also to the
national economy. For the automobile
today is not merely the product of the
factory that builds tit is equally the
product of scores of producers and
suppliers of raw materials involving
the productivity of millions of workers
distributed in thousands of places
almost everywhere.
So it is not enough that the new cars
represent improvement over yester-
days models. In the general interest
they must also represent values SO
compelling as to stimulate wide
spread buying.
We believe you will find the General
Motors cars for 1910 fully meet these
requirements.
There is built into them the accumu-
lated experience of an engineering
group which, from the very beginning
ofthe industry, has had the ability and
courage to. pioneer. Originating with
the electric self-starter in the early
days, down through the years there
has come continuous series of engi-
neering achievements. But that is not
all! General Motors technicians have
demonstrated their versatility by de-
veloping such engineering products as
the Diesel locomotive destined to
revolutionize transportation by rail,
the Allison aviation engine recog-
nized as most important contribu-
