It's ON mornings like this, when

After turning the alarm on and

hot water, then get back into bed.
Not to cover up and fall asleep
again, but to do some exercises Tor
three or four minutes.
Stretch your feet toward the foot
board and your arms toward the
head Of the bed. Throw on the COW
ers, fold your arms across your
chest. Then, keeping ankles tcgeth-
er, lift legs upward until they are
perpendicular to your body. Lower
legs as slowly as possible.
Now sit up and lean forward,
touching toes with hands. Relax
and repeat three times.

When you get out Of bed, stand
with feet wide apart and breathe
deeply, lifting hands over heads as
you inhale, lowering them as you
exhale. Breathe deeply without
moving chest up and down. Rather,
let the chest cavity expand at the

After you have brushed your

by J. Gregory Lynch, who appar- ently is the real town chairman"
 Tn a primary fight" MT. Lawlor argued" "the party organization should not take any sides; 1t should remain strictly neutral, and let the members of the party decide by their votes the candidates they want. I'm not campaigning for MT. Culhane, but claim it's very unfair for one small group in the town committee to put us all on record for one candidate against another. If the town committee is supposed to be for @ candidate, how can it appoint moderators who'll be neu- tral?"
 Its the town committees job to run primaries fairly and without taking sides," MT. Lawlor went on. "The executive committe hasn't any right to decide on a candidate to support. Yet here we have the ex- ecutive committee trying to speak for all of us on the town commit tee, following Lynch, who's not even member of the town committee. think that endorsement of MT. Blansfield should be withdrawn and that the party organization should be strictly neutral"
 Just Another Worry
 The endorsement issue has risen to plague the local Democratic party within the past month. Mayor Vim cent A. Scully, titular head of the party, found himself facing dis sent within the ranks when last month he endorsed ex-Gov. Wilbur L. Cross in his campaign for the nomination against Commissioner Robert A. Hurley. Joseph F. Null vile, former town chairman, pro- tested against the endorsement, but at caucus at the New Haven con- vention, the local delegates fol- lowed the mayors wishes, voting 37 to to back Cross.
 Later the mayor announced his endorsement of MT. Blansfield against Senator Culhane, and again there were objections. The mayor has announced he will remain neu- tral in the 18th district, where the fight for the nomination is three- sided.
 The executive committee which was set up by the new party rule adopted in the spring, voted Aug. l9 to back MT. Blansfield against Senator Culhane. Eleven of the IS members were present at the meeting. But, like the mayor, the executive committee made no com mitment in the 18th district.
 The formal call for the party pri- maries, which will be held next Wednesday, was issued today by Town Chairman Maurice r. Tang ney. The list of polling places will be found elsewhere In tonight's Democrat.
 Democrats in the two senatorial districts are split into opposing camps as the primaries approach. Each Of the candidates is backed by his own organization. with MT BlanAfield having the advantage of backing by the partyA leaders.

The army program is expected to speed ahead immediately; the navy program may be months getting ln- derway because of lack of ship building facilities.
 Acting with almost war like speed, national defense officials reported the following developments within 24 hours after the last of the more than $10,000, ,000. 900 outlay became available:
 1.-The navy awarded an all-time peace or war-record of contracts for 200 warships and one auxiliary craft, which ultimately will cost $3,- 861 ,053,312. These ships will provide two-ocean navy of 688 fighting ships-more than the combined navies of Japan, Italy, Germany and Soviet Russia.
 2Virtual completion by the navy of contracts for 2,4O0 of the 4,028 planes provided for in the bill to give it an air strength of 10000 aircraft by 1922. Contracts for the 2,40O planes, costing about $108,O00,- 900 may be announced later this week.
 &Completion except for minor details of & $31 ,653, 500 navy con- tract program for expanding shore facilities for the two-ocean navy, This also probably will be ready for announcement this week.
 +Steps by the War Department, which received $4,045, ,0O0,0 900 in cash or contractual authorization in the $5,251 ,000, 900 appropriation, to award quickly about $524, ,000, 900 in contracts. Assistant Secretary of War Robert P. Patterson told Presi- dent Roosevelt that this would irl- clude $450 600 for guns, ann- munition, tanks, and other ordnance. about $56,O00,000 for quartermaster corps construction work, and $18,- 10000 for the army engineers.
 Army's Share
 The army's share of the appro- priation is to provide full equip ment for an army of 100000 men plus reserve stocks of thousands of tanks, anti-aircraft guns, artillery and other items for a potential force of 100000 men. The funds will provide also for 15,000 more army planes to give it an ultimate total of 25,000 by 1922.
 Another phase of the program ex- pected to begin immediately is the construction of 60 powder and mu- nitions factories. Contracts for i've have been signed.
 Naval experts indicated that many months would be needed to get the entire POI new ships underway. The program will require considerable expansion in both private and navy yards, 1t was said. The work 1 being spread over 14 private and eight navy yards.
 The program calls for seven bat. tleships, eight aircraft carriers, % cruisers, li5 destroyers, 43 Subma. rines, and one repair ship.
 The "two.ocean" navy, experts agreed, would require about five years to finIsh When completed, the United states will have eee fighting ships, with . total tonnage of 5IO4o.As0.

ATTY MURRAY
 FILES REQUEST
(Continued from Page D

(Continued from Page D forth in the request to rectify con- corning the demonstrations on the day that the IA men involved were put to plea.
 All Will File
 While Attorney Murray's request was filed here it was expected that other requests would be filed with the clerk of the superior court at New Haven later today. Lawyers in- volved in the case said that all the defendants in the case would file similar appeals.
 Clerk Freeman forwarded Attor- ney Murray's request to the superior court at New Haven, which is the proper place for filing. All the re- quests to rectify are practically the same as the original request filed last Saturday by Attorney Frederick Warehouse of Hartford, counsel for former Controller Daniel J. Leary.
 Reasons Given
 A "On the day when this de- fendant and others of the accused were put to pleas the two streets immediately bounding the Water bury courthouse, in which the trial was held, were SO densely crowded with people as to require the regu- lation and control of police officers. As each of the said defendants ap- preached and entered the court house he was loudly jeered, hooted at and subjected to approbrious epi- thets by this assembled mass of people. The courtroom itself was also crowded to its capacity with spectators"
 (B) "These doings of the crowd were fully reported in the news papers widely circulated in sub stantially every part of the state"
 co On the night of August q, 1889, when the appellant Geary) and others were sentenced by the court crowd of several thousand people packed the area about the courthouse on its two street fronts where they remained for several hours wildly cheering and &C., claiming the special states at- torney (Hugh M. Alcorn) and the trial judge, Ernest A. Inglis.
 CD "So hostile was the demon stration of this crowd toward the defendants on the said night of August q, 1889, that various of the defendants, after being admitted to bail on appeal, together with their attorneys left the courthouse through a rear service entrance to avoid said crowd"
 (E) The above recited events of August 21, 1899, were fully reported and widely circulated in newspapers reaching substantially every part of the State."

 Italian BOmberS Busy
 Italian airplanes yesterday bomb- ed the port of Jaffa in Palestine, damaging port works and causing large fires, the communique of Gen. eral headquarters of the armed forces said today.
 The communique said Italian air. planes again bombed the railway between Alexandria and Marsa Ma truth, Egypt, and that railroad buildings and one train were blown up.
 In East Africa the air force at tackled the British air base at Port Sudan, Anglo Egyptian Sudan, hit ting several planes on the ground and causing fires.
 The Italians admitted that the Royal Air Force had attacked Mas sawa and Asmara in Eritrea and Dessie in Ethiopia. Dessie was field headquarters of Emperor Halle Se- lassie during the 1talo- Ethiopian war. These raids resulted in two dead and three wounded.
 The British were said to have raided Italian positions in Syrenaic, causing one dead and four wounded.
 Describing operations in North Africa the communique said, "our aviation carried out reconnaissance flights and bombed and machine gunned enemy encampments and truck columns. The enemy suffered considerable losses, especially at Sir Sceferzen."
 It was claimed that Gin Kenya fuel depots and enemy encamp- ments were bombed by our planes at Bura on the River Tana with evident results and without any Italian losses"

Continued from Page D Town Clerk Mary c. Kilmartin. The signatures were secured during a whilrwind door to door campaign, in which two comedy young women played important parts.
 Many of those signing were of foreign extraction, and a number of these are now complaining that they did not realize they were signing petitions asking that Communist candidates be given places on the voting machines. There are two lo- cal candidates listed, Michael Rus SO, of 96 Wolcott street, candidate for congress, and Charles Crasnit- ski, 48 West Porter street, candi- date for presidential elector.
 Some of the signers claim that the Communist canvassers told them signing the papers would help keep the country out of war. Others say they were told the petitions were aimed at more employment and higher wages.
 The signatures remain on the pe- titions unless they are renounced by those whose names are listed. Mrs. Kilmartin and the registrars are now engaged in checking the names of the signers with the city voting lists.
