ballots without one Of them gain
ing a majority.
The convention will be held at the
Hotel Elton, and IS scheduled to
start at II q. m. A caucus of the
Waterbury delegation of eight,
scheduled for tonight, has been
postponed, and the local group will
not decide on a choice until just be-
fore the convention opens. The local
caucus was originally scheduled for
last night, but its postponement was
announced yesterday.
The controlling votes in the con-
vention may be held by the candi-
dates who have less support than
the three leaders. States Attorney
Blodgett may for instance, prove to
be deciding factor, since reports
today credited him with Is or more
votes which he could throw to one
Of the leading candidates. These
might be enough to make NOM
nation possible.
Friends of Mr.. Palomba and
Senator Badger held to the belief
today that the strength Of the
other candidates would wai1e and
that these two would win additional
support with each ballot.
Col. Rice was nominee two years
ago, losing by small margin to
Congressman ]. Joseph Smith
Democrat. He Is said to have sup
port in Litchf1eld county and in
some down-the-valley towns in New
Haven county.
Mr.. Adams has powerful support
in the valley being backed by State
Central Committeeman NeilS Poul-
sen of Ansonia, and Lewis A. Dib-
BILE Of Naugatuck. He is also backed
by Attorney william ]. Larkin, Jr.,
of Waterbury.
Mr.. JohnSon's greatest strength is
in Litchfield county, and some
sources believe that he will have the
largest total Of votes on the first
ballot.
Though there have been reports
that the Republican candidate for
q. s. Senator, Paul Cornell Of WASH
ington, was working for johnson,
high sources said today that Cornell
was remaining neutral.
An effort to give the nomination
to a New Haven county resident has
been underway for the past week,
the argument being that Litchf1eld
county was given enough recogni-
ton in having the candidate for

treaties to which the United States
was a signatory.
These sources believed that there
was little more in the way of sup
port that the signers Of the pact
could give each other for the pres
emit. They noted that Japan has its
hands full In the Far East and that
Italy and Germany are shut on from
the rest Of the world by the British
blockade.
First reaction was that just the
signing Of the alliance would not
result in any immediate further
move by the United States, but
that this country probably would
wait to see what developed as q re-
suit of it.
| Most authorities agreed that the
United States would follow up Mts
embargo on steel and iron scrap II
1t believed further measures were
necessary to stop" Japan.
The embargo proclaimed yesterday
by President Roosevelt prohibits
shipments after October 16 to all
countries outside the western hem.
iSphere, except Great Britain.
It was believed that Japan has
large supplies but that its continued
campaign in China proper and an
extensive campaign in Indo-C China
would use them up quickly.
Until the pinch Is felt. observers
here looked for little change in jap
aneSe policies. Japan may attempt,
on the other hand to speed up its
occupation Of Indo-C China and con.
solidate its occupation Of an Of
eastern China.
Japari's purchases Of scrap metal
have dropped sharply. During the
first eight months Of this year ex.
ports to Japan were 662,418 tons
compared with 1,2S6,031 tons for the
same period o year ago.
The United States position was
summarized by Federal Security ADJ
ministrator Paul v. McNutb former
high commissioner of the Philippine
/ AoAaAA&ASs 4A 9RGEbAA USA0tS t44C
American Legion convention In Bos-
ton "Wednesday night. Although
made the night before the embargo
was imposed, It was learned that
McNutt's remarks represent en- ali-
ttoritative statement Of the admin
istration point Of view.
"There Is much concrete evidence
Of our failure 10 appraise our posi-
ton between potential enemies" ne
said. During the last six years
Americans have sold TO Japan eight
and 3 half million tons Of scrap
iron. Japan has built IN recent year,
almost 100000 tons Of warships."

are occurring In the world today and

6O0uS OF Cne 1CanAn ana Jap2-
nese embassies, high foreign ONCE
officials and Hitler,s adjutants stood
about the room. The German and
foreign press was ushered in, Japa-
nese and italian correspondents be-
ing given seats Of rAeference.
Hitler Enters
A pause followed. Then a chan.
cellory attendant banked his staff
resoundingly on the floor three
times and Hitler entered, taxing q
seat between Ciano and Ribbentrop
Floodlghts clicked on and movie
cameras ground as the signatures
were affixed. In two minutes the
pact was signed.
Ribbentrop in a sonorous, low.
pitched voice read a declaration ir
behalf of Germany, declaring the
pact q military alliance Of the
three most powerful states or
EARTH" He emphasized that any
threat to the new hegemonies ir
Europe and Asia would be met with
the combined strength of nations
mastering 250,000, 900 people.
Ciano Speaks
Ciano spoke next, in staccato, pre-.
else italian. He, too, emphasized that
the alliance linked 250,0QO,000 cit
liens Of the military powers in de-
tense of their common detectives.
Kurusu, in nasal, high-pitchec
Japanese, spoke last. 1t was noted
that like his German and Italiar
colleagues he gave most emphasi:
to the $50, 1000, 600 persons united By
the alliance.
Language Of the three diplomat,
was almost identical.
The German press, echoing thu
statements of German spokesman
quickly took the line that the pact
enormously strengthened all three
nations in their fight for a new
world order.
Monroe Doctrine Of East
The Hamburger Fremdenblatt, one
of the most authoritative German
commentators, characterized the al.
lance as "a Monroe Doctrine fol-
Europe and east Asia"
In connection with future adher.
ence Of other nations to the pact
there was widespread speculation or
the position Of Spain. The Rome
and Berlin newspapers had insisted
that Spain was ready to join the
Axis drive against Great Britain
and 1t had been expected that the
Spanish government would be q
party to the pact.
Delay In adherence Of Spair
seemed on the surface to follow the
pattern Of Italy's maneuvers early

eminent gave indirect aid to Ger

approved it, they said, and the privy
council was ready to ratify it. This
would mean that so far as Japan
was concerned, signature was for
mality and that the treaty could
be put into effect at any time.
As previously reported by the
United Press, the alliance agree
ment is understood to provide for
Japanese German-Italian coopera-
ton in event the United States and
Great Britain cooperate too closely
for japanese comfort in the Far
East Though its provisions are
secret, 1t Is understood that the
intention would be to keep the
United Sttaes preoccupied with Far
Eastern affairs to such an extent
that its real cooperation with Bril-
tain would be unlikely.
Priyy council ratification, accord
ing to the Tokyo adyices, is likely
to be fastened because radical Ma
tionaliSts- now regarded as In con-
troll in Tokyo-are clamoring for q
public announcement Of the treaty
soon.
It was understood here that Hem
rich Won StahmerS, special German
envoy who negotiated. the agree
ment, had assured the japanese
government that GermanyS Rus
sian agreement was working
smoothly and urged Japan to seek
closer relations with Russia.
The Tokyo advices said that the
Mei-Rin-Kai organization, compos-
ed of retired army officers, had petit
toned the government to ask the
United States. to clarity its position
as regards the British Singapore
naval base, and to seize Singapore
and Hong Kong if the United States
reply was unsatisfactory"
Foreign diplomatic Representatives
in Tokyo, the advices said, are con-
vinced that Japan's entrance into
o-China is only the beginning Of
new japanese expansionism.
Refuse collectors employed by the
municipal council Of the Interna-
tional Settlement joined the strike
Of street car and bus workers to-
day. This presented the immediate
threat Of spread Of disease.
An ircendiary bomb exploded this
morning In Q French concession
street Car which had O police escort
Several passengers were wounded.
Utilities companies leaders insist
that Japanese directed agitatorg are
threatening that unless workers Of
the power, gas and water plants
strike this week end their families
will be harmed.
The entire movement was regard
ed as aimed ct giving Japan an
excuse TO demand control Of the
international AREA on the ground
that II alone could preserve order"

The air ministry said that 10 Ger
man planes were shot down by Brit
ish fighter planes over southeast
England during the morning.
Bombs dropped in southwest Lon
don and at least one central London
area. Sixty planes attacked soSth-
west England town, to be broken hp
by British fighter plane formations.
London had its heaviest morning
raids Of the war, but the Germans
paid dearly. Royal Air Force planes
had blasted objectives across the
channel mercilessly during the
night, Havre, Ostend, Calais, and
Boulogne weer bombed heavily.
The toll Of the German raiders
mounted rapidly as reports flashed
in. Air ministry said that only two
British planes were lost, the pilot Of
one of which landed safe.

reports that at least one German
bombing plane had been seen crash

as they saw German planes diving
to earth, some in flames.
At least 10 German planes. five
in the southeast London area alone,

minutes after the bombing fleets

With fighter planes like specks

opportunity to gather in the many
promises. AT "a meeting of the

success, we will have it; if we think
failure we will not reach our goal.
Plans are now beang made for a
closing mass meeting, the principal
speaker being Walter White, pro-
vided that the fight for the Anti

Washington too long. In the event
that Mr.. White can not be here for
the closing meeting he will come as
soon as conditions in Washington
permit. Prizes, which are being do
mated By various merchants, are to
be awarded to the leading workers
