fTbis is the last of the series of articles on Holland being written by Cornelius Wander breggcn, Jr., writer and lecturer, for the Daily Alaska Empire.)

It was an afternoon late in Aug ust, 1938 I was being entertained at tea by a vivacious and kindly lady 73 years of age. Frequently our. conversation touched the onl- inous international situation and as often as we drove it determined ly in another direction it skidded right back to it's original path.

No Endorsements Given In 18th Senatorial District Race
48O APPLICATIONS
 FOR CITIZENSHIP

Judge John F. McDonough and Judge Miles F. McNiff will preside at the next session of naturalization court in the chambers of Common Pleas Court, September 16, 17 and IS, at which time 480 men and wo- men of many countries will apply for their final papers.
 There has been a very marked in- crease in the number of aliens seek- ing papers here in the past two years and the rise is attributed to the fact that citizenship papers are necessary for factory jobs and ape plications for old age assistance. The court meets three times a year in this city, January, May and Sep. tember.
 Two hundred seeking final papers was a large number here two years ago or more, but last year at one session over 600 applied. Every ses- sion in the past two years has shown over 200 applicants on hand.

Comment Declined On City Hall' Choice
 Of Rival Candidates
Mayor Gives Endorsement to Blansfield in 18th Dis tfict- Culhane Supporters Shout DsCrimina-
 tiOn- Campaigns Underway

Supporters of the several candi- dates in the senatorial primary con- tests in the 18th and 18th districts laid down battle fines for heavy campaigning today, following the action of the executive committee of the Democratic town committee in setting down the primaries for Wednesday, the 18th. The drive for votes for each of the candidates was being intensified, with each camp claiming gains.
 The principal question mark is whether or not Mayor Vincent A. Scully will endorse one of the can- didates in the 18th district, as he did in the 18th. The mayors reply
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-09-04

to a question to this effect today was, Nothing to say"
 BIansfield Endorsed
 In the 18th district, Mayor Scully has endorsed Attorney Michael V, BlanSfield, who is opposing Senator George T. Culhane, three-term veteran. \ third possible candidate is William J. Dunphy, though un- questionably reliable reports state that negotiations are in progress to have Dunphy keep out of the sen- ate race and accept the nomination for state representative.
 In the 18th, the mayor has made nc choice between Senator Edward P. Egan and ex-Senator Joseph H. Lawlor. Most observers believe that there will be no commitment, since, though Senator Egan and the mayor have been close personally and pol itically, Senator Lawlor has wide support, and will have the backing of many regular" Democrats, in- cluding number of city employees and town committee members. There is a third candidate in the field, William "Tipper" Conley, but it does not appear that he figures iil any decision by the mayor to endorse or not to endorse.
 Discrimination"
 Should the mayor take no stand in the 18th district contest, the supporters of Senator Culhane will do much of their campaigning on a basis of discrimination" against their man. They will argue that Senator Culhane is being singled out for reprisal by the city hall because he has opposed the pres ent party leadership.
 Culhane has called meeting of his district leaders and officers of the 18th Senatorial District Assoc iation, in their Center street head quarters tonight.

 The superintendent then recom- mended that MT. Lord be relieved of his regular duties so that he might give his full time to the supervision of the defense program.
 The appointment was made after Comsr. John J. Kearney declared that the factories were not CO., operating in providing men to teach in the program. He said it was not right that MT. Lord should be taken away from the regular pupils and given over to the defense program.
 The board also voted to use four regular Leavenworth teachers in the program provided no other teachers can be found.
