 Buckingham declared that the survey was not statewide. and con- cerned only the New Haven market.
 Gov. Baldwin, in Hartford ad- dress, told a group of beverage manufacturers that painless taxes increased revenue through encour- agement of business production-was the formula of his administration to avoid heavier tax burden.
 "The process is simplicity itself" said the governor. "To business and private industry you give 8 proper amount of cooperation and 8 good salting of encouragement. You do not need to add any new taxes"

NO SARONG, BUT
 LOCK OF HER HAIR

Easton, Conn, Oct. 16.-(UP)- Dorothy Lamour couldn't spare a sarong-but would lock of hair do just as well?
 That's what she replied to Red Cross Chairman E. George Poindex- ter when he asked her for one of her South Sea wrap-arounds to be auctioned of here Saturday for a Red Cross benefit.
 Poindexter said today he accepted and that the tress would be tied into trout flies and "sold for sweet charity sake"
 Carol Lombard also contributed lock of hair, he said, with the suggestion the flies be sold to her sportsman-husband, Clark Gable.

Special Agent J. J. Mcclure of the federal bureau of Investigation, at New Haven, said a careful check would be IT. ,de of the lists to detect registration dodgers and that they would be dealt with severely. Fail- ure 5o register carries a penalty of five years imprisonment, $10,000 fine or both.
 The law, he said, also provides punishment for those failing to an- swer all of the questions in the reg iStration form.
 Conscientious objectors, said Me- Guire, were compelled to register and their cases would be considered by the draft boards which will begin to function within the next two weeks.
 Thus far the only outspoken op- ponent of military training was the Rev. Emerson s. Schwenk, 35-year- old pastor of the First Universal ist Church at Bridgeport, who con- sented to registering but declared under no circumstances will I par- ticipate in military activity in any form nor will I participate in war in any form"
 The Rev. Schwenk, wno came to Bridgeport from Saugus, Mass, in August, said he would refuse to "al-. low the state to dictate in matter where conscience is involved"

GERMAN FLYERS
 BATTER AT CITIES

Continued from Page D with the blast of bombs and anti aircraft fire was so heavy that it was almost impossible to walk through the streets.
 It was emphasized, however, that the Germans were indulging purely in terror bombing directed mainly at the civilian population and that damage to military objectives was actually relatively slight.
 Heavy damage to civilian property was inevitable, it was said, but it was estimated that aside from the bombed school, and two bombed schools in the provinces, civilian casualties were probably lighter than they were during early terror raids because people had now learn ed to go to shelters.
 More and heavier bombs were dropped on London during the night than ever before, experts said but they insisted that from the mill itary viewpoint-damage to Britain's $ war effort-they were not particu- ly effective.
 German claims that 1000 planes had dropped more than 2,200,0OO pounds of bombs on London were ridiculed. It was said that possibly 250 German planes had taken part in all attacks on London and the British Isles.
 It was estimated that 200 tons of bombs were dropped during the night on all targets.
 At the same time, the Germans came over London in larger forma- tions than ever before and they showed hundreds of bombs of all sorts, including oil containers, bomb baskets and incendiary bomb containers, at random.
 The gun fire surpassed any tiiat Londoners ever had heard. There was continuous roar of fire, so great that 1t was sometimes mistak- en for bomb blast.
 Scotland the midlands, eastern and southwestern England suffered some of their heaviest raids. It was feared that many persons were trapped in the ruins of a midlands town church.
 One bomb wrecked an apartment hou-e, set fire to it and to a gas main, blasted windows from a church and rocked one of London's largest hotels, blowing out its windows on two sides.

zION'S HERALD
 SEEKS REPEAL

Boston, October IS. (UP) - Zions Herald, 117-year-old Metho- dist weekly, called today for imme- diate reenactment of prohibition on grounds that potentially we are at war" and must protect conscripts from tragic disintegration".
 An editorial attributed the Fall of France partly to excessive drink ing" by French troops who became "dulled in mind and physically be- low par".
 There is . lesson for America, !" the editorial said. We are in the war now (though) some of the for malities observed when a nation went into actual conflict have not been completed. In reality, what we have is wartime conscription. !"

were manned by teachers who had volunteered their services. Public schools were used for registration in all but three of the 32 voting dis tricts, St. Margaret's parochial school being used for two districts and the city hall being used for an- other. The third shift. from 5 to p. m., was in charge of volunteers from veterans groups, civic and women's clubs and others. Delays in registration were kept at . mini mum, thanks to the detailed instruc- tions which the teachers and other volunteers had received.
 Serious Viewpoint
 The ominous shadow of Hitler's Europe and Japan's Asia seemed far away as the conscription eligibles went to register, but 1t was seen by every one who gave the required data. Each registrant realized the seriousness and the importance of the first peace-time conscription in

any kind were reported by police.
 Rich and poor, able and ailing married and single-they all lined up at their registration centers to- day. Some were buoyant, hoping they would be called for a year, service; some were apparently op- posed to conscription; but most quietly determined, ready to go il necessary.
 The general feeling was perhaps best expressed by one of the eligi- bles from District 3-8, lined up al the city hall.
 "Glad to Go."
 Hell, I'm not an army man," he said, but I want to have a decent world for my kids to grow up in If I'm called for service, I'll be glad to go if it means making a better world than we have now"
 He wasn't trying to be dramatic he made it clear that he has no am. bition to be hero, but he also made it clear that if he has to fight to de- fend democracy he will fight. He seemed to reflect the feeling of most registrants.
 The state selective service board expects that a total of 14,862 men will have registered in Waterbury by g o'clock tonight. Local authorities said, off the record, that they be- lieved the state estimate to be toe high. They predicted that about H. 900 or 12,000 would register.
 Early Figures Heavy The early registration figures were heavier than had been counted on The registration headquarters at the city hall, where eligibles living on District 3-8 must sign up, reported that more than 275 cards had been issued up to 1:30 p. m. Figures in other districts were also ahead of es- inmates.
 Each of the registrants received a button given by the State of Con- necticut saying: Registered foE National Defense. 1940". The but tons were proudly displayed on many a lapel and necktie during the day. Each registrant also re- ceived 8 card, which he was warned to carry with him at all times.
 Draft Boards Meet
 Organization meetings of the four local draft boards, which will select the Waterburians who are to receive a years training, were held last night. Chairmen of all western Con- necticut boards will have dinner tonight with Lieut.-Col. George R. Sturges at The Elton, and the boards will begin functioning of- ficially tomorrow.
 Temporary plans call for all four draft boards to have headquarters in the welfare department offices at the city hall. The welfare staff will move Into its new quarters ct Welton school within the next week. Little Politics
 Reporters visiting the registration centers found little talk of politics among those waiting to sign up. There was some Roosevelt.Willkie discuslon, but not to any great exc tent. The prevailing feeling was: Let's register and set this over with. America doesn't want to fight, but if she has to we'll al pitch iti."

German Spellbinders or from the hysterical shriekings of the Nazi oracle -in-chief himself but now it is all made plain. The official nouthpiece of the Nazi Labor Front, Doctor Ley, recently proclaimed that Hitler has made Germany happy and it now becomes his irrevocable mission to bring Europe and the world to reason and to make them happy, too. We shall see in a mo- ment just how that is to be accom- plished.
 We are told that the democracies are weak, inefficient, Senile and cor rupt and that they must make way for the young, vital, incorruptible peoples. This war is being waged for our good; together the Germans and the Italians will make us and all the world as happy as they have made the Philippians, the CzechS, the P lleS and others.
 It may help us to appreciate what the American idea stands for to outline the totalitarian scheme. Now that it finally takes shape, let's ex- anime Herr Hitler'S blueprint and see how happy it will make us. Here is what he sees:
 A German people in undisputed mastery not alone of Europe but also of the entire world; race rec ognized by all others as superior and ordained by right of birth to rule with an iron hand and to rape, rob and despoil by brute force as is LOW being done in every conquered coun- try
 A German Volk with an aristoc- racy of its own, 8 Herren class of Hitlsrs, Goerings and Goebbels, chosen to govern lesser Germans and the rest of us who are even lower dowr in the human scale; a world held in bondage by German might; world of sweat-shop na- tions toiling for their keep.

Rex Beach Finds Greater Appreciation Of Our Way After a Look At Hitler'S

A German people exerclSlng the sole and exclusive right to tear arms and build engines of war; the rest of mankind eternally disarmed, disfranchised and doomed to eco homie slavery.
 A German world in which only the ruling class will enjoy free ac- cess 6o culture, literacy and educa- tion, 8 class which will bestow upon all other peopleS-ourS among the number-the blessings of illiteracy and the priceless privilege of serf- dom.
 There's more to it but this is the general shape of the apochryphal vision that came to Adolf Hitler as he sat in solitude reading the stars and gnaWing carrot.
 The effrontery, the conceit, the incredible gall of it is astounding That such plan could be adopted and made holy by his 80 million fol- lowers indicates the inflated ego- tism, the preposterous vanity, the ruthlessness and vainglory of the German people.
 It is easie. for us to understand the drab doctrine of Communism than to grasp the full measure of this fantastic Teuton dream. Stalin would like to crush capitalism and kill every owner of a bank book but thus far he has expressed no desire to swell his own vanity by actually enslaving the world. Neither has he proposed to reduce the rest of humanity to level of want lower than that enjoyed by his own peo- pie. He merely wishes to have us share with them in the general equality of destitution.
 As to Fascisn, it now appears to be merely an Italian translation of the Nazi creed but it is no less bloody and mtolerant. Listen to a quotation from Popolo d'Italia, of- ficial founding board for Hitler's hired hatchet-man, the pompouS MuSSoiini.
 England must be destroyed! All the material and spiritual forces of Europe :-hould unite around Ger many and Italy for this vital work of liberation, after which Europe will tranquilly resume her historic administration of civilization. |. If, later, humanity desires rationally to solve the British problem, it should sterilize at least two million EngliShmen."
 Now that it becomes plain how civilization is to be administered by the dictators and we realize how far they propose to go in making us really happy, it's almost a waste of time to ask what the democratic idea stands for.
 Ours isn't 8 perfect political and social system, nevertheless it is the best one yet devised. It has flaws and weaknesses, to be sure, but they are nothing as compared with the appalling injustices, the monstrous cruelties of that tyranny proposed by the madman of Berlin and his anthropoid ally. If you like that sort of thing, by all means oppose the draft, belittle the emergency and write your congressman to delay our defense program. If you don't like it, rise up in wrath and demand that we meet with full force, both physical and moral, this menace to everything America stands for. Do it now, for there is no time to lose.
