Moose Waive Dues For Members
 Who Enlist Or Are COnscripted

Mooseheart, H., Oct. 25.-The Loyal Order of Moose, interna- tional fraternal organization with nearly 1,700 lodges and a half million members, has waived dues of all its members who enlist or are sconscripted for military serv- ice. Each Moose member called will remain in good standing with out paying dues throughout his period of active service.
 This action has been taken by the Moose supreme council to line up the entire organization 100 per cent in support of the National Defense program. Supreme Sec retary Malcolm R. Giles states that members in active military service will be eligible to enjoy all the social and fraternal bene- fits of the Moose.
 Children of Moose members, who might die while engaged in active military service, will be given a home, a high school education and training in a trade at Mooseheart, the 'child city" located near Au- rora, H., if they otherwise qualify and are left dependent.
 In addition to this new action, the Loyal Order of Moose is at

U. s. GUNBOAT IS
 STRUCK BY ROCK
Four Hour Japanese Air Raid on Chungking; Britt
 ish Vessels Hit

Chungking, Oct. 25.-(UP)-The United States gunboat Tutuila of the Yangtze patrol was damaged severely today when it was struck by a 4O0-pound rock dislodged dur ing 8 four-hour Japanese air raid.
 Two British steamships, the Wan liu and the Wanhsien, operated by the Butterfield, Swire CO, were struck and damaged by sl1rapnel.
 The Tutuila was the second United States gunboat to have suf- fered by Japanese air raids in the Yangtze valley. In December, 1897, 8 Japanese plane bombed and sank the U. s. s. Panay, also of the Yangtze patrol.
 Forty-two Japanese planes bomb ed Chungking for four hours, be- ginning about 10 a. m. They con- centrated their fire on the already devastated down town district of Generalissirno Chiang Kai-Shek's capital.
 One bomb dislodged rock from the south bank of the river, which at Chungking flows between high hills. This rock. crashed onto the Tutuila and damage was described as considerable.
 Some bombs fell in the river and struck number of native craft. A dozen bombs fell in the vicinity of the United States embasSay but 1t was not damaged.
 Called Safe Area
 The zone in which the embassy is located and of which the Tutuila was anchored had been designated as a "safe area" by the Japanese. There were 70 casualties in the vicinity of the U. s. embassy as a result of today,s bombardment.
 The Tutuila is a vessel of 370 tons with a normal complement of 58 officers and men. It was built in 1927 for service with the Yangtze patrol, branch of the United State Asiatic fleet, which also maintains South China patrol.
 One of the Japanese bombs to- day struck factory owned by J. H. Schwer of St. Louis. The walls of the factory caved in and caused damage estimated at $l0O00. In August Schwer's Chungking home was destroyed by a Japanese bomb.
 In today's raid windows of the Canadian mission were shattered when six bombs landed in the vi- cinity, killing at least 25 Chinese.
 It was estimated that Japanese raiders caused 200 casualties today and destroyed 200 homes.

present conducting a patriotic campaign in all lodges in the United states. It is the purpose of the campaign to place a new American flag in the home of each member and to present each child at Mooseheart with dag, a Con- stitution of the United States and a booklet telling how to display and care for the flag properly.
 Recent decisions of the Moose, however, are international as well as national in scope. The supreme council, headed by U. s. Senator James J. Davis, director general of the Moose, will provide a home at Mooseheart for 50 evacuated children of Moose members in Great Britain. Fifty children will be taken immediately and more will find 8 home at Mooseheart as facilities become available. Thic in no way affects the 200 other Moose children from Great Britain who are to be cared for in homes of Canadian members. Sufficient fundS have been voted to cover the cost of transporting these children from the port of arrival to homes in Canada and to Moose heart.

GERMAN SUPPER
 HUGE SUCCESSES
Four Hundred More Serv- ings Than Last Year
 Realized Yesterday

Believed to be the largest church supper ever served in this city, St. Cecilia's annual event was attended by approximately 1900 people from Waterbury and vicinity last evening in Temple hall. Everyone was pleas antly served within four hours by white-coated hostesses numbering 75.
 Mrs. John Hermann was general chairlady of the supper while Rev. Peter J. Cuny, pastor of the Scovill street church, was honorary chair man. Several hundred pounds of as- sorted and delicious foodstuffs were devoured during the course of the servings.
 St. Elizabeth's society sponsored the event. Mrs. Susan Faix is presi- dent of the group; Mrs. Elizabeth Formes, vice-president; Mrs. Ther- esq Peltzer, secretary; and Mfs. Her mann, treasurer. Proceeds will be turned over to Father Cuny to be used to defray operating expenses of the, German parish. Last year 1,40O were served.
 Thirty-five women of the parish peeled potatoes, about IT bushels, for four hours the day before. Three hundred pounds of frankfurters were consumed, 200 pounds of cabbage, ITO pounds of fresh ham, 150 pounds of boiled ham, SO quarts of cream, 30 quarts of milk, no loaves of bread, 30 coffee cakes and an unesti- mated amount of sauerkraut.

tiOns. These rules also require that men may be inducted only after the corps area commander is ready to provide them with adequate fa- cilitieS such as shelter.
 While procedure for the draft af- ter the national lottery next Tues day was being formulated, eight girls started work in a locked room at conscription headquarters on fill- ing the capsules with numbers for the draw. The order in which those numbers are drawn will de- termine the order in which the 17,O00,00O regiStrantS for military service will be called before their local draft boards.
 President Roosevelt instructed Selective service officials to make certain that volunteers are called before any non-volunteers in their community are ordered into service.
 Another presidential regulation specified that draft officials must post notice of the corps area re- quiremnts for men at least 21 days before the men are inducted.
 Another regulation provides that no man shall be sent to camp while he has an appeal pending from his local boards classification.
 Instead of dealing directly with national selective service headquart- CTS, army requirements will be transmitted to the governors of the states in each corps area by the corps area commander. When and if the Navy and Marine Corps begin taking men, however, the require ments will be arranged between the governors and representative of the Navy or Marine Corps.

cern for one or the other group that the question 'Is it good for Amer ica?" seems never to have sug- gested itself to them at all.
 We submit that if this proves any thing it is that statesmen among our senators are few - and politicians many. And we submit further that not since the first United States Senate assembled has there been a time when the presence in the Sem ate of more statesmen and. fewer politicians was so desperately neces- sary as now.
 That is why we are so tremen- dously concerned with the candidacy of Paul Cornell. We believe that in the few words of his individual plat form he has compassed the essence of American craftsmanship - to achieve that and only that which in the circumstances of the hour gives, to men of vision and unqualified patriotism, promise of being 'good for America"
 We have had this question put to us by 8. complaining Republican, ''Why doesn't Cornell tell us more definitely what he stands for?"
 "Our answer to that Is: ''He has told us that he stands for what is good for America. Can you think of anyone, in our government or out of it. who stands for anything better or of higher importance than the good of America? If you can, please name him; because all America will want to ask him what 1t is that is better or more important than this country of ours?
 This Is an enormously critical time. Conditions all over the world are shifting with kaIeidosc0pic speed. Every shift brings this country into new relationships, creates new prob lems that were not in existence week or 8 day before. There are many weeks, far more days, before the next Congress, convenes. A poli- tician, running for the Senate, may tell you just what he thinks ought to be done about this, that or the other minor thing next year. A statesman will tell you, we do not know at all in detail what should be done about many things under conditions not yet even imaginable. But if, when those conditions become realiz- able, we do what we believe to be best for America, wholly without regard to any personal, group or political advantage, we shall have done all that Is humanIy possible and what Is best for all of us"
 4 statesman has said this. His name is Paul Lincoln Cornell

Their authority over the group will be designated by a warrant and the leaders will have charge of transportation, food and lodging.
 Selected men who are far from their local board may report to the nearest board and ask to be sent to an induction station. If his request for induction at the local board where he presents himself is granted, he is to be inducted, even though 1t be necessary to substitute him for a volunteer in that board area. If this request is rejected, he must report to his local board.
 Local boards are required to pro- vide replacements for men who are rejected by the armed forces at the induction center. The rejected men must then be reclassif1ed by their local boards, either as class 1-B- Available for limited military service or class IV-F-MentallV, morally and physically unfit for military service.
 The director of selective service is required to furnish each state governor from time to time" the quotas, credits and debitS of his state.

 All New England will go to Will kie, the poll takers claim, as well as the seven farm states, four lake states, three eastern seaboard states, two mountain states, and enc vest coast state. This makes g states, with 300 electoral votes for Willkie.
 The poll gives Roosevelt the 10 southern states, the six border states, six of the eight mountain states, two of the west coast states and one eastern seaboard state. This makes 25 states, with 231 electoral votes, for Roosevelt.
 But, it is pointed out, should Pennsylvanias 36 electoral votes go to Roosevelt rather than Willkie, the president would be reelected, 267 electoral votes to 264.

Why We Believe in Cornell

There is being raised in Connec- ticut, amid the jangle and conflict of the political campaign, one voice of especial wisdom. It is the voice of Paul L. Cornell, Republican can- didate for the United States Senate: the man who is running, in the last analysis, on the platform: ''Is it good for America? Whats good for Amer lea is good for you and me and all of us."
 After ali, we are greatly inclined to the belief that this personal plat form of MT. Cornell's is a better platform than the platform adopted by either the Democratic or the Re- publican national convention. Be- cause it carries with 1t the inescap- able implication that, whatever ques- tion or situation arises, it's solution must meet the test, "Is it good for America?"
 Even such quickly self-suggesting questions as 'Ts it good for mel" or sTs it good for business?" or 'Ts it good for labor?" or, particularly, ''Is it good for the party?"-all these fade into insignificance before that aIl-paramount one, 'Ts it good for America?"
 Anyone who has followed the pro- ceedings of the United States Senate during its present session must be deeply impressed by the fewness of the members of that body whose speeches and votes provide c0nyinc- ing evidence that they have tested all legislative proposals with the acid of the Cornell question-or have even so tested any considerable part of such proposals. We have seen Democratic senators advocating and voting for measures that flew square ly in the face of their own oft pro- claimed convictions, not because they believed those measures to be good fer America but for the sake of party solidarity. We have seen Republican senators opposing measures that were directly in line with principles they themselves had repeatdIy professed, net Because they no longer believed in those principles but because they conceived obstruction to be their duty as members of the opposition party.
 We have watched bitter Senate fights for and against proposals made fn fhe interest ef special inc terests-she farms labor, the indus tries, business, Che financiers-with senators 90 bemused by their con-
