LADIES (BLESS 'EM)
Use Familiar Weapons
GO IN FOR POLITICS
BY SIGRID ARNE
AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-Even
teacups and baby buggies seem
destined to serve as political
weapons this year.
The ladies-many more than
ever before-are entering the
campaign battle Naturally. they
propose to use weapons with
which they are familiar.
The strategy varies with the
community.
The teacup offer comes from a
western city where a convinced
lady Democrat who owns a res
taurant has offered to serve hot
tea to any woman who comes
from the voting booth wearing a
Roosevelt button.
The baby buggy brigade is pro-
posed by some young Republicans
in a city where there are many
hard-driven housewives with big
families. The girls have volun-
teered to take over the family
cares while Mother votes.
Back of such Individual offers
are probably the two biggest
women'S political machines the
world has ever known
The Republicans claim a mil
lion women workers.
Have 1000 Clubs
The Democrats don't count
theirs nationally, because each
state runs its own affairs. They
point out, however, there are
1000 Democratic women's clubs
Both groups are using press,
radio, the platform and the good
old doOr-bell technique
But there IS a difference.
The Democratic ladies have
adopted schoolroom methods. For
several years they have held po-
litical clinics for key women, 60
ing into such subjects as soil erO-
sion, the cost of a battleship, the
cost of electricity on the farm.
There are 10000 such trained
women, called Fact Dealing Re
pOrters (notice the F.D.R)
The Republican ladies, who
have really showed into high gear
for the first time this election.
are united through the National
Federation of Republican WOm-
ems Clubs.
Study Criticisms
They meet locally for monthly
study programs that elaborate on
Republican criticisms of the New
Deal and include digests of ma
jOr Republican speeches.
Both groups have committees
that phone friends the day before
an important radio speech.
The Republican ladies print
news of their doingS in a section
of the Republican magazine. The
Democratic women have a
monthly magazine of their own.
Then there's the unpleasant job
of collecting money. The Repub-
lican women distribute elephant
banks. the Democrats donkey
banks. Tea and bridge parties
bring in more contributions.
A New Technique
The Democrats have just
sprung a new technique It's call
ed the campaign precinct
schools. One day sessions are
held in doubtful states for women
who will be doing actual cam
paigning.
Both groups are organizing auto
armies to see that the vote gets
out.

Naugatuck, Sept. 26.-That the Naugatuck high school football team will be no pushover for the Wood row wilson high team when they clash in Middletown tomorrow Is indicated by the fact that the To- cal team decisively outscOred a team from Commercial high of New Haven here Tuesday afternoon in practice session.
 1t is reported the Commercial squad which came here was Q large one but the local teat1m showed scor- ing ability and surprised many of its followers by its good brand Of play.
 Although a number of the mem- bers of the local squad haven't had much experience before on the high school team, the whole squad is re- ported to be willing and quick to learn and they may surprise some 1 fans who dismally predicted a very poor season for the Garnet this year.

 Training School

Hartford, Conn, Sept. 26.-(Up) The United States. navy will sign a lease today with the states quar- termaster general, acquiring Fitch's Home for Soldiers, at Noroton Heights, for one of its six training schools in radio communications.

NEW DEALER IS
 HOUSE LEADER
Rep. Mccormack of BOs- ton Elected Majority
 Leader in House

Washington, Sept. 26-(UPl-The power of President Roosevelt's re- nomination to swing balky Demo-. crats back into the New Deal process sion is being demonstrated today in the House of Representatives where 48-year-old John w. Mccormack be- gins his term as majority leader,
 Mccormack was elected yesterday to the leadership vacated by eleva-. ton of Rep. Sam Rayburn, D., Tex, to the Speakership. The caucus of Democrats who were bolting all over the place prior to MT. Roosevelt's third nomination last July dealt conservatives two blows in success sion.
 The Democrats refused to postpone the election of a majority leader until January when the 77th Con- gress convenes. They then chose Mccormack, a New Dealer, over Rep Clifton A. Woodrurn, D., Va, who has bucked the administration on labor and spending policies. McCor- mack is Boston lawyer who entered the House in 1929.
 Democrats in this Congress cannot bind Democrats in the next on lead- erShip. The consensus is that sharp New Deal reverse at the polls in Mo- vember might persuade House Demo- crats to return Mccormack to the ranks next January. But if MT. Roosevelt comes through in a big way, the House and Senate leader ship in the 77th Congress will re- main in the hands of men who helped promote the third term and whose records assure close coopera- ton with the White House.
 Senator Alben w. Barkley, D., Ky, was handpicked by MT. Roosevelt for the Senate leadership in 1897, and elected over strong conservative op- position.
 Congressional skirmishing with the administration continued well into the present session. But with MT Roosevelt's renomination the Dem- ocratic ranks are reforming again in an impressive show of campaign year harmony. It will last anyway until November despite the surface indica- tionS of dispute.

 Boston, Sept. 26-(UP)-Frank T. Hines, administrator of veterans af- fairs, said today nearly a million I U. S. veterans and dependents of all wars were receiving pensions or compensation.
 Speaking at the closing session of the 22d annual four-day American Legion convention, Hines said that at the close of fiscal 1940, the num- Der of all veterans of all classes on compensation an dpenSion rolls stood at 610,000, an increase of nearly 1O,- 900 over 1899. He said the number of all dependents on the rolls stood at 323, ,000, a 5000 increase over last year.
 Death payments to beneficiaries of veterans who served in the World war increased nearly $9,000,000 over 1899, he said.
 There were no material changes in the general laws governing pay ments of benefits" he said, C. :. but a more liberal administration of existing laws brought en- larged benefits to both World war veterans and widows in the service connected categories."
 During the year the number of veterans receiving benefits from dis ability suffered while in service in the World war increased by 1000, he said. The number of widows re- ceiving compensation for service connected World war deaths also increased, he said, and their average monthly compensation rate advanced to about $40, an increase of nearly $7 8 month.
