CORNELL LOOMS
 AS CANDIDATE
LitchfieId County Support CTS Confident of Suc-
 cess; HarwOOd Hostile

Litchfield County packers of Paul Cornell for the Republican nomina- tion for U. s. Senator claimed today that he was so far in the lead that his selection by the G. O. P. state convention at New Haven the 18th is assured. A showdown on opposi- tion to Cornell by State Chairman Benjamin Harwood will be sought at a meeting of the state central committee in Hartford Monday aft- ernoon.
 A challenge to Harwood's leader ship may be threatened by Litch- field County members of the state central committee if the state chalr- man maintains his stand that Cor nell should not be nominated. Har- wood has been unsuccessful to date in an attempt to come forward with 8 strong, acceptable candidate against the Washington schoolmas- ter and former New York advertis- ing executive.
 The Cornell adherents claim that support for his candidacy is now so widespread that efforts to block it are doomed to failure. They claim that Harwood's influence will not oe enough to prevent Cornell from be- ing nominated.
 The balance of power in the state convention will be held by Fairfield County delegates, led by Gov. Ray mond E. Baldwin, National Commit teeman Samuel F. Pryor, Jr., and J. Kenneth Bradley. They have re- mained non-committal to the pres ent.
 The meeting Monday has been called by Chairman Harwood to de- termine whether an agreement can be reached on the senatorial nomin- ation. The Litchfield County group, however, will discuss no "settlement" that involves the dropping of Cor nell.
 Harwood is understood to feel that a stronger candidate than Cornell should be chosen, or Democratic Senator Francis T. Maloney will be reelected. It is argued that mary old-line Republicans would refuse 10 vote for Cornell because he has lived in Connecticut for only six years.

DIVER SEEKING
 PARENTAL AID
60 School Children In= iured During Past Sea-
 son; Good Example

Patrolman William c. Dwyer, the police departments safety instruc- tor in the Waterbury school system today urged parental assistance for the protection of the school child pedestrian.
 Officer Dwyer said that teachers and police of Waterbury are doing all that is possible to make the children safety conscious as this is as important as instruction in the three "R's". The request for par ents to assist in safety instruction was made because of the sixty-nine school children involved in aeci- dents during the past school sea- son. Two of this total received fa- tai injuries, the first school chil- dren deaths in three years.
 Tt is imperative declared officer Dwyer that the parents of school children assist in safety instruc- tion for the well-being of the chill dren themselves. Today with the heavy flow of all types of vehicles on our streets and highways the problem of school child safety be- comes a great one"
 'The teachers of Waterbury are noted throughout the nation for thoir outstanding accomplishments in safety instruction and the po- lice are doing all within their pow CT to make tile route of travel from home to school and return as safe as possible but cooperation from parents is very essential. We sug- gest that you check on the route your children use in going and coming from school and if you be- lieve that it isn't the safest one teach them one that is. Also urge the children not to play in the roadway and to make use of cross walks and obey the officers whc are assigned to school traffic pa trol."
 Another important suggestion i. one of setting a good example. Par. ents, themselves, should observe al traffic regulations. Children can- not be expected to become safety. minded despite instructions in tht school system if the parents them selves are slip-shod in their per sonal reaction to traffic regula- tions. For this reason we state that parents can help materially by making use of cross-walks, ob- serving the lights while using the streets as a pedestrian; while driv- ing to observe all signs and signal: and by these safety activities chil' dren will naturally follow the ex' ample of the parents"

Also Given Two Other Contracts TOtaIing $IIS,S33; ScOviI Company Receives TwO-Plants Speeding
 Up Production With Augmented Forces

ployment increase noted during June and July continued through August. Ohcial figures for last month are not available, but the total of per- sons employed, which was 35,977 August 1, is reported unoficially to have gained by at least several hun- dred. Five more defense contracts for local firms were announced today.
 Virtually every plant in the city today was working at full capacity, despite the fact that it was Saturday. Factories were endeavoring to com- plete orders and to make up for pro- duction lost because of the Labor Day holiday last Monday. Most fac- tories had full working hours sched- uled for today, with some places having two shifts on duty.
 Large defense orders locally have thus far been limited to the "big three," Chase, Scovill and American Brass, but better business conditions generally have reflected in the in- creased production at other factories here.
 Factory whistles, an unfamiliar sound on Saturdays in recent years called thousands to work this morning
 The placing of five more govern ment orders with Waterbury firms was announced at Washington to- day. The total amount involved is approximately $500,000.
 The latest orders are as follows
 American Brass O., brass, bronze and copper for navy department $31O,398.
 American Brass Co., copper tub- ing for navy department, $272l6.
 American Brass Co, bullet packet cups for war department, $91,617.
