II we're supposed to be ignoring

You're probably trying to haunt

this perplexing question. She smiled
at the two girls and nonchalantly
crossed the room to them. Had
they arrived any other morning but
this she knew she would have been
surprised at seeing them, but so
many other things had happened
that she took their presence for
granted, thinking that nothing else
would ever surprise her again.

John L. Lewis Prepares To
 Give Backing To Roosevelt

Washington, Sept. 14CUP)-It looks today as though John L. Lewis chief of the CIO, the United Mine Workers and of labor's non-parti- san league, may play on the New Deal team again this year although he recently thought President Roosevelt would be '..ignominiously defeated" for a third term.
 Unlike this weeks endorsement of MT Roosevelt by Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia, of New York, cam paign benediction by Lewis would represent real reversal of senti- ment. La Guardia previously had revealed his intentions by telling the 25th anniversary convention of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America in New York on May IS that he was for M. Roosevelt.
 It is political paradox that La- Guardia's substantially discounted endorsement this week IS likely to boost MT. Roosevelt's chances con- siderably more than the endorse ment which some persons believe shortly will be coming from Lewis. That is because the Congress of In- dustrial Organization is prepon- derately for MT. Roosevelt regardless of Lewis.
 Some persons, therefore. regard
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-09-14

Lewis as political liability and be- lieve his endorsement of the admin istration would do Wendell L. Will lkie, Republican Presidential Can didate, more good than harm. That is on the theory that most of Lewis followers will be for the New Deal, anyway, but that some potential Roosevelt votes might be lost to the President in protest against Lewis support.
 In any event. political relations between the two men still are un- certain and must remain so until one or the other reveals what is what. But reports that Lewis met secretly this week with MT. Roose- welt are too persuasively supported by collateral factors and some evi- dence to be wholly submarined by silence in the Presidential headquar- ters, respectively, of the United States and the CIO.
 Those reports led immediately to: repeated failures to reach Lewis telephonically or otherwise for com ment: failure to obtain comment at the White House: and finally, a friendly tip from one of Lewis close associates that the CFO chiei had seen the President and that a peace or armistice between them ! was within the bounds of reason.

Language Used In Chicago Very Undignified

Chicago, Sept. 14.-(UP)-Wen- dell L.

 WillkieS Chicago visit was head lined by sharp attacks on the Kelly Nash Democratic organization, and President Roosevelt's failure to pro- vide jobs or adequately arm the na- tion but the remark which drew the sharpeSt Democratic retort was his 'To hell with Chicago" before 5000 factory workers in suburban Cicero.
 His consignment of Chicago to eternal damnation is a revelation of the primary raShness of the Will kie character" said Sen. Scott Lucas of Illinois, head of the midwestern Democratic campaign. ''It shows his unsoundneSs, his lack of the balance and of the wisdom which the na- tion needs in this time of appalling emergency.

CONSPIRACY CASE
 APPEALS TO HALT
Hartford Attorneys Be- lieve They Will Not Be
 Heard at October Term

The appeal to the Supreme Court of Errors in Waterbury's $1 1,000, ,000 conspiracy case will not be heard at the October term of the states highest court. This IS the opinion of Hartford attorneys, familiar with Supreme Court procedure, inter viewed by reporter for The Demo- crat today.
 There is not a chance of the cases being heard at the coming term" said one Hartford attorney today, who perhaps knows as much about "goings on" in the Supreme Court as anyone.
 When reminded by the reporter that States Attorney Hugh M. AL corn, special prosecutor in the case had just two days ago issued a statement that he would strenuously oppose any extension of time for the filing of briefs in the case and the hearings the attorney said.
 What did you think MT. AL corn would do? You didn't think he was going to agree to an exten- sion did you? In law case of the magnitude of the Waterbury case and in fact practically all law cases, what one side wants the other side opposes. It's just natural legal gesture

SECRET AGENTS
 HUNT FOR CLUES
Nazi Sympathizers Sought Among Survivors of
 Blast in Powder Plant

Kenvil, N. J., Sept. 14.-(UP)- Federal Bureau Of Investigation agents hunted today for Nazi sym pathizers among the surviving em- ployes of the Hercules powder plant, scene of an explosion that killed at least A workmen.
 Sheriff Denton Quick of adjoining Sussex county turned over to FBI men a list of the licenses of auto mobiles seen going into the Ger man-American Bund'S Camp Nord- land, IS miles from here, in the past four months. Quick had cir culated the list among other sheriffs of the New Jersey arsenal belt early this week, asking that they inveS- tigate whether the owners of any of the cars were associated with un- American groups or were employed in any defense industries. He said a hurried check-up had revealed that about 40 men OH his list be- longed to un-American groups and that i've already have succeeded in eliminating them from jobs in de- fense industries {"
 w. c. Hunt, operations manager of the Hercues plant, said he coud not recall discharging any of his employees for belonging to the Bund recently, and that i've have no req son to suspect anything of that kind" Quick, however, said: T feel in my heart that the blast was set off by some Bundist."
 None of the federal, state or in- dustrial investigators at the scene had disclosed any evidence indicat- ing sabotage, but Reps. J. Parnell Thomas and Frank Osmers, the two congressman from Bergen county who visited the ruins, said the pos sibility of sabotage existed. Thomas is member of the Dies committee Investigating un-A American activities Osmers said he would demand a congressional investigation of the disaster. He said, T don't know if we'll ever be able to prove 1t, but my guess is sabotage"
 The toll of Wednesdays explosion now stood at 42 known dead, six six Of them still unidentified and "A seriously injured.

CITY HOLDING EXPENSES AT
 LOWEST MARK Year Two-Thirds Over, Departments Keep We'll
 Within Budgets SURPLUS WILL NOT
 BE VERY SURPRISING Unexpended ApprOpria- lions for Year May Run
 to $75,OOO or More

With the year two-thirds over and with city depart ments remaining surprisingly well within their budgets, city officials are beginning to look ahead to the surplus that will be on hand when the 1940 books are closed De- cember 31. Estimates at the city hall, all unofficial, range from $30O,000 to $5O0,OOO. A surplus of even the smaller figure mentioned would give the city perhaps the best financial year in its history and leave a large available balance ready for 1941.
 Figures for the Jan. 1-Sept. period, submitted to Mayor Vincent A. Scully by Controller Thomas A. Conlon and Budget Director Thor vald E. Olsen, show that expendi- lures are being kept considerably below appropriations and indicate that at least several departments will end the year with available surpluses. This is particularly true of the welfare department where, of a total budget of $457, ,0400 for the year, Supt. Martin. Hayden has left available for the 1asg Tour months no less than $197,000.
 Unspent Appropriations
 Total unexpended appropriations for the year will probably run from $50,O0O to $75,000 or more.
 The greatest part of the surplus will come from excess of revenue over estimates. This is especially true of tax receipts, which may set an all-time record. If October col lections are normal, total tax pay ments for the year should amount to somewhat over 95 per cent of the total tax levy. During the May tn- stallment period, collections climbed

very fate may depend upon cooler judgment? ..
 "The net result of Willkie's medi4 cine show invasion of Chicago yes- terday will be, I predict, that the city will rebuke him next Novem- Der with a Roosevelt ma ajority of OO,0OO instead of the previously ex- pected 100000, and that downstate will join with its great metropolis in turning his profane insult back upon his head"
 From Willkie,s standpoint, the high point of his day-long tour through the city was the tremen- dous ovation given him in the Loop where crowds damned against his slowly moving automobile, and ticker tape, torn telephone books, and confetti poured down from the buildings. He said tears came to his eyes and that he supposed" he had seen 100000 persons during the day.

An air raid alarm was sounded in the London area at 9:26 a. m. A:26 A. M. EDT). No planes were seen, no bomb explosions were heard and there was no gun fire in central London. The "all clear" was sounded at ZAP a. m., after 16 minutes.
 Expecting a business raid, most persons still on the way to work took shelter during the raid and traffic noticeably slackened, but the "all clear" brought an immediate resumption of activity.
 For the first time in week no fires were to be seen.
 It was understood that a single German plane, reconnoitering over the London area, caused the morn ing'S first alarm.
 A second alarm was sounded at 1l:02 A. M. (6:02 A. M. EDT). The "all clear" was sounded at 11:16, after only IA minutes.
 British Make Attack
 It was learned that British bomb ing planes had attacked a 50-mile, reach of the French coast, all the way from south of Boulogne to north of Dunkirk, all night long, stopping only at dawn. The attack was made on the coaStline direct across from England from which any Nazi invasion would most likely be started.
 Shrapnel fragments rained down upon all parts of the city as aircraft guns roared through the eight hour and 30 minute dark to dawn raid which ended at 5:30 a. m. (12:3G A. M. EDT).
 To watchers on the United Press observation tower, it appeared that nearly every raiding plane had been driven back from the main part of London.
 Scarcely bomb explosion was heard all night in central parts q the city, though numerous high ex- plosive and incendiary bombs struck in the suburbs.
 The anti-aircraft fire was inces- Sant and ear-Shattering. United Press correspondents telephoning from various parts of the city re- ported that it was the greatest yet. In one street, raining shrapnel caused 8 shower of sparks to fly up: it struck the concrete like hail. Small rapid-fire guns, medium cali- bre guns and big guns joined in the fire.
 The gun fire was heaviest duKing the first six hours of the raid. After that, it appeared, the Germans he. came disheartened and only an e. casional single plane scurried aczaK the sky.

Paul Cornell Backers| Dead Sure Of Victory
G O. p. Chairman HarwOOd Unable to Stem Cornell Tide-Waterbury Delegates Probably Will
 Flop to Cornell Band Wagon

Backers of Paul Cornell, head master of the Rumford school at Washington and former New York advertising executive, claimed today that his nomination for U. s. Sena- tor by the Republican state conyen- tion next Wednesday is certain. They declared that the "Stop Cornell movement, led by State Chairman Benjamin Harwood, has failed com- pletely, and that Cornell would be victorious on the first ballot.
 A Cornell victory, in the. face of Harwood's determined opposition, would greatly weaken the state chairman's leadership and might well lead to his resignation, though political expediency would probably keep him in office until after the campaign. The next G. O. P. state chairman seems almost certain to be J. Kenneth Bradley, who has made a remarkable comeback in Re- publican state politics after being in virtual exile. Bradley, along with two other Fairfield county leaders, Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin and Ma tional Committeeman Samuel F. Pryor, Jr., has remained officially neutral but the fact that he is for

ITALIANS BUSY
 AROUND EGYPT

Rome, Sept. 14-(UP)-Italiap reconnoitering activity has in creased along the Egyptian-Libyan frontier, communique said today as Italians awaited news that ma jor offensive had been started against British forces in Egypt.
 The communique made no men ton of plans for an attack.
 It said that Italian planes bombed & British convoy, escorted by war ships, in the eastern Mediterranean and that an Italtian plane hit ship of fairly heavy tonnage" with an aerial torpedo and was believed to have sunk it.
 In East Africa, the communique said, Italian planes bombed British ercampments in the Ras Fl Sir zone north of Gallabat in the Sudan.
 In an attack on a second convoy, the communique asserted, Itatlian planes hit a freighter and probably hit an eScorting warShip.
