British Hit Italians
Rome, Oct. 24.-(UP) = British
troops yesterday attacked Italian
forces 20 miles east of Sidi Bar
rani, main spearhead of the italian
advance into Egypt from Libya,
general headquarters Of Italian
armed forces said today.
The Italians said they had been
attacked b ythe British at Maktila,
where Marshal Rodolfo GRAHAM
established an outpost preparatory
for further operations in Egypt. The
italian communique claimed the
attack had been repulsed.
Sidi Barrani, rs miles inside
Egypt from Libya, is midway be-
tween the Libyan border and Mar
sa Hatruh, at the end of the rail-
road line running westward from
Alexandria.
The Italians said the British as
sault was supported by armored
motorized units and artillery and
the British left dead on the battle
field.
The communique referred again
to an engagement three days ago
in the southern Red Sea where
italian naval craft attacked a Brit
ish convoy. The communique ad-
mitted that after having been
heavily damaged by British war
ships protecting the convoy the
italian destroyer Francesca Nullo,
1880 tons, had been scuttled by her
crew.
Drove Ship Ashore
(The British admiralty had said
that fire from British destroyer
drove the italian destroyer ashore,
then destroyed 1t with a torpedo.
The admiralty also denied the
italian claims that six
transports of the British convoy
were sunk. The British destroyer
was damaged, but there were no
losses.)

In return for this and possible
ratification of transfer Of Aisace-

France may have been offered a

Hitler Leaves Frontier
Adolf Hitler apparently had left
the Spanish frontier where he con-
ferred with General Francisco
Franco. Whether he will meet again
today with French Vice-Premier
Pierre Laval was not known but an
other meeting of Laval and German
emissaries was plainly in the cards.
Actual reports from the various
interested capitals on the hubbub
of diplomatic activity were interest
ing largely for what they did not
asy. In each case censorship was
operating more strictly than at any
time since the outbreak of war and
the only reports passed were those
which propaganda ministries vitru-
ally dictated.
Madrid, for instance, predicted
developments Of paramount i'm
portance" and suggested Spain
shortly would be aligned more OPEN
ly with the Axis. But no word as to
when or how or where slipped
through.
Vichy was allowed to speculate on
the prospect of a continental line
up" against Britain and to report
that the Laval-Hitler conversations
were of much greater scope than
had been previously Believed"
Details Supposed
Again all vital details Of the spe-
cific nature of the discussions was
suppressed.
Rome reported guardedly that
SPANS Aspirations" in North
Africa soon might be satisfied. Ber-
lin clamped down on correspondents
threatening to hold them guilty Of
diplomatic espionage" if they did
more than follow the thin line Of
speculation offered by propaganda
spokesman.
Nazi officials made available to
the foreign press information saying
that Spain naturally" should be
aligned with the Axis and fighting
Britain. Reports that French naval
and plane bases had been demanded
were termed Interesting"

HURLEY REVIEWS

Their abuse by Mr.. Hurley, and ask
that he corroborate tn statements
he made. Our shop is completely
unionized, and the employees are all
members Of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor. BY his unfounded ac-
cusations, Mr.. Hurley is not only at
lacking new industry in Connecticut,
but is also making unfounded char
ges against aclosed shop"
Drummer admitted the firm some
time ago was guilty unintentionally
and technically Of breaking certain
labor laws Of the state of Connecti-
cut, but we also admit that we were
completely unamare that we were
committing any breach, and certain
ly our actions were not wilfull.
Hurley charged further that Gov.
Baldwin was in error when he
claimed that his intervention with
Federal authorities prevented de-
tense industries from being moved
to other states.
Hurley said he had been informed
by the U. S. Army and Navy depart
ments that the governor had not ex-
erted any pressure on those divisions
to keep vital industries here.
One More Clash
Hartford, Conn.,, Oct. 24-(UP)-
Governor Baldwin and his Demo-
cratic opponent, Robert A. Hurley,
clashed again today over Republican
claims that prosperity was restored
to Connecticut during the past two
years and that the administration
obtained defense orders from Wash
ington through pressure"
Governor Baldwin declared II
stand on my statement that we have
brought new business and new con-
Germs into the state that have added
conservatively 5000 new jobs for
Connecticut wage earners. This adj
ministration will continue its efforts
to bring new industry and new bus
mess into Connecticut. I believe the
people of Connecticut will stand on
the statement of the development
commission employees rather than
those of political investigator"
The governor charged Hurley with
utter recklessness" in challenging
the business claims. He said he asked
the development commission to re-
check preliminary figures which
showed SO new concerns came to
Connecticut and found they con-
tanned only three errors.
ut reported" he added, shat the
labor department shows that from
January 1, 1899, to September 26,
1910, there were 1874 new concerns
registered in the state"
Hurley accused the governor of
playing politics with defense be-
cause his party has no program to
offer the people of this state" Con-
corning the governors statement
that administration assure"
brought defense contracts to Con-
necticut, Hurley quoted from a tel
egram received from Robert A. Pat
terson, assistant secretary of war. It
said "All contracts entered into by
the war department was executed
solely in the interests of the U. s.
government and not as the result of
pressure from any source, political
or otherwise"

The best guess regarding Spain
appeared to be that the Axis de-
sired Spanish naval and air bases
for use against Britain in the Med
iterranean and in striking at British
trade around Africa and with South
America. In addition transit facil-
tiles for Axis troops to attack Glib

France Less Clear
What is wanted from France was
less clear. Presumably, however, the
Axis seeks Mediterranean Sea bases
from which to attack Britain, pos
sibly including the great French
naval base of Toulyon. A request
may have also been made for the
cooperation OF the French feet al

During the World War many men
had their first introduction to the
benefits of personal sanitation and
its value in the reduction of disease,

contributed geratly to the public

ties when they returned home.
Noting that the present program
calls for the induction and training
OF 100000 men annually for five
years and that public health plans
are more elaborate now than in

Edward j. Ryan of Thomastop

against the reelection of President
Roosevelt and the New Deal at a
meeting last evening of the Anti
Third Term league in the Elton
which was presided over by Gerald
Daley president of the organization
which now has over 500 members in

an open mass meeting in the Y. M.

washington Hill Community House
on next Tuesday evening. Tomor-
rows meeting will get underway
promptly at p. m. Mr.. Daley stat

Mr.. Ryan said in part II repeat

America. I repeat the New Deal is
driving us toward war and I defy

According to every poll which is
DGlIlS LdhCl1 al 1k@C- OAACC0 Ooo0So
Wendell L. Willkie is in the lead.
Why even the polls being conducted
by the New York Daily News, which
incidently is anti-Willkie, shows a
fifty-fifty vote in New York City.
The News last Saturday in deS-
perate effort to have the poll show
an increase for Roosevelt took a
special poll of the Jewish people as
announced in last Saturdays edi-
ton. The Jewish vote was over
whelmingly for Roosevelt as the
editors of the News expected, but
even at that Willkie remained in
the lead on a statewide basis OF
New York state.
"Can our people so soon forget
Roosevelt's appointment of a mem
Der Of the Ku Klux Khan to our
highest judicial court-the Supreme
Court of the United States? Can we
so soon forget the reason why Frank
Murphy was pushed up to the Su-
preme bench after he had served as
Attorney General? More about that
later. But let us look at the record
of the communisticly-inclined New
Deal. No one can deny that the New
Deal has courted, favored and sue
cored the communists who are the
real enemies of this great republic.
Is there any wonder then that the
Communists will throw their sup
port to their American benefactor?
One of the first things that Roose-
welt and his brain trusters did when
they took over in 1888 was to rec
ognize Goddess, bloody communistic
Russia, which subsequently butch
cred such great little nations as ES-
tonia, Finland, Latvia, and Lithu-
ania. This humanitarian New Deal
paid Goddess Russia IS dollars for
every ounce of gold she produced
which cost her only eight cents an

made Russia the mighty nation she
