Hungarian gypsy music is
aOell liked all over the aDorld,
and their bands, not using
printed music at all, mag be
found in the large hotels and
restaurants of great cities
from, Budapest to San Fran
cisco.
The German Brahms learned
the tolk-tunes comprising his
Hungarian Dances from the
violinist Remenyi. The French
Berlios borrowed his "Rdk6csi
March" from among the treas
ures of Kuruc music, aohile
the Spanish composer Sara
safe bcsed his Gypsy Airs ON a
Magyar folk-song. Beethoven,
Mozart and especially Schu-
bert often used Hungarian
themes in their Works. Even
the PolonaiSes of different
composers may be traced back
to the first one Which marked
the entry into Cracow of Hun
gariara King Louis the Great
as Polish monarch.
Beethoven composed his
"Ruins of Athens" opera, in
aohich he foresees a revival Of
Athens culture in Hungary,
for the opening of the Theatre
of Buda, in 1872.
In lighter music the names
Of Francis ,Lehdr, Victor Ja-
cobi, Albert, Ssirnaai, and es-
pecially Imre Kdlnadn, are
kno1On as that of the most
popular composers. Even Ame-

per cent vote in Maine. They
actually got Sc per cent in the
congressional race, which if the full
Republican strength had been polled
on a day of fair weather would have
gone far beyond IS and closer to 70
per cent.
By whatever yardstick the result
in Maine is measured, it is clear
that the New Deal has lost con-
siderably since 1886. A sampling
of 100000 voters of all kinds, rich
and poor, farmer and city worker,
is a fairly accurate approximation
of what other voters in New
England will do on election day. 1t
looks as though the trend is toward
Republican nominees and away
from New Deal radicalism.

The Trust Busters.

In his new book, The Bottlenecks
of Business" Assistant Attorney
General Thurman w. Arnold pays
glowing tribute to the men in the
antitrust division, who have been
serving Uncle Sam at personal
financial loss. Arnold writes; Be
cause sufficient travel funds were not
appropriated, men have been asked
to pay their own expenses while
conducting investigations or cases
away from Washington. There was
no way of compelling them to make
this sacrifice, yet there wasn't a man
who refused to take an assignment
in the field at his own expense. In
addition. men in the division have
gone without vacations. They have
put in long hours. They have
treated cases on which they were
working as more important than any
personal interest. They have been

News from Vichy Is somewhat
vitiated, if not doped, but occasional
hit-and-run dispatches are possibly
enlightening. Worth watching is
Heinrich Abetz, German Ambas-
sador to France. He was a pale,
blond lad, who talked like Uriah
Heep and carried a knife in his
sleeve. He went to France to preach
pacifsm. He had plenty of money,
lived elegantly, penetrated b.
hemian circles and was a social
favorite. Much of the corruption
of French journalists was traced
to him when he was expelled by
Edouard Daladier in 1899.

New York. Republican leaders are
in quandary whom to nominate
for the United States Senate at
their State convention this month
Evidently there's no burning desire
among possible candidates to tempt
fate in November against strongly
intrenched D e ocratic Senator
James M. Mead. Representative
Bruce Barton could have the G. o. P
nomination, but is still undecided
whether to take it. Two one-time
aspirantS have withdrawn-May
Marvin of Syracuse and William F
Bleakley, Westminster County leader
Other Republicans who now may be
in the running are John Lord
O'Brian, Frank E. Gannett and Col.
William j. Donovan. Believe it or
not, there has even been mention
of Alfred E. Smith as the Republic
can senatorial nominee. Senator
Mead was once credited with ambi-
ton to succeed Jim Farley as Post
master General. His friends suggest
that Frank c. Walkers appointment
may have only interim character,
in which event Mead might aspire
to the portfolio in a Roosevelt third
term administration. The Senator is
champion vote-getter, being es-
pecially popular with labor and the
postal service, and his reelection
is generally conceded to be a fore
gone conclusion, unless Republican
landslide is around the corner.

STATE TOPROVIDE
 l5OFOR US. NAVY

Connecticut has again been as- signed a quota of 150 Navy recruits for the coming month, according to an announcement by It. Walter F. Hinckley, ofilcer in charge of Navy recruiting in this state. The Decem- Der quota is to be divided into five groups of 30 to be enlisted on each of the five Tuesdays during the month. It is anticipated that the 150 new vacancies will be rapidly filled as the number of applicants now applying daily exceeds any pre- viouS number this year.
 This is due principally to the re- cent opening of the age group be- tween IT and 18 who enlist for their minority, amounting to three years plus depending upon their age at t::''e of enlistment. The fact that older men who have been required to register fc~ selective service may enlist at any time prior to actual induction into the armed forces un- der the draft law. is also a factor Applications are now being accepted for the December quota at all rec cruiting stations in the state located at N" Haven.

 From the north of the city came the thud of heavy explosions. The airport had been bombed and Films knew then that there would be no peace.
 Men left their jobs to help their wives pack and saw them of to the country and then put on their uni forms. and reported for duty. Whole blocks of homes were evacuated.
 Back They Came
 At 3:10 p. m. powerful explosion shook the city. Then others fol- lowed in quick succession. The city seemed to tremble and the sirens shrieked again Back came the Rus sian planes, diving through the low clouds. They dumped their bombs in the center of the town. A school was hit. Scores were killed and wounded
 That night came the city's first blackout, but the sky still was red from the reflection of burning homes and buildings. The night also brought the city the first news of the war in other areas. Other towns had been bombed. Russian troops had crossed the border Russian warships had shelled the Finnish coast. The war on land, on sea and in the air had begun.
 The war started because Finland refused Russias demand for part of her territory. After some initial vic- tories. the Films were faced with the full force of the Russian military machine and capitulated at the end of l06 days, ceding to Russia the territory she had asked.
 A year has passed since the be- ginning and Finland is readjusting her population to a smaller country and trying to rebuild what was deS- troyed.
