Primary Fight Appears Likely
In 10th Senatorial District
Senator Egan to Face
Former Senator LawIOr,
William COnIey

AT least one primary fight looms
for the Democratic party In Water
bury this fall. II has become defin-
itely established In the last few
days that there will be q contest for
the 10th senatorial district nomina-
ton.
Senator Edward p. Egan is the
present incumbent, but has not yet
indicated II he plans TO be candi-
date TO succeed himself. II he
should express himself, II Is con-
ceded that he would be an odds
on favorite TO secure the lomina-
ton.
But with the name Of former SEN
ator Joseph H. Lawlor injected into
the political picture the outlook may
change and likewise party affilia-
tons. II Is now believed that the
former veteran legislator will make
q strong effort TO regain the nom
nation In his district. Whether
or not this would involve him In
primary contest with Senator Egan
Is not known. The latter In The
past has not slde-stepped a prim-
airy fight, but at times showed q
willingness to step aside In favor
Of his predecessor In the senate,
Senator Lawlor.
But II Senator Egan does not plan
TO enter into a primary fight In the

DEBACLE:
Italian Version

Unquestioned was the fact that
Italy had been kicked wholeheart-
edly out of the war by Britain,
Greece and the Free French, to-
gether with other sundry allies such
as Polish, Czech and other hands
that had joined into the Battle Of
Greece and the Battle OF Egypt.
The invader, who stepped briskly
into the war just at the moment of
Frances collapse, shot forces along
the Mediterranean coast from the
border of Libya to Sidi Barrani, and
who sailed across mountains for
Athens from an Albanian take-off,
had become the invaded on both
fronts. '@-
AS the British and Greeks
summed up huge supplies Of war
materials captured, and enormous
inventories of prisoners in hand and

SIX DAYS:
Shalt Thou Labor

Pointing toward the six-day, per-
haps seven-day week in defense in
dustry, Defense Council Chairman
Knudsen belabored American indus
try for tagging, and declared the
United States was mot getting the
spirit of defense work.
Knudsen told the manufacturers
many things, but one Of these was
outstanding, and had to do with
airplane manufacture.
U. S. goal, declared Knudsen, had
been 1000 warplanes a month by
January l. He said at the rate things
were going, we'll be lucky if we
are getting $50 month by that
time.
The reason for the lag is lack Of
comprehension by manufacturer, by
laborer, of the meaning of the ma
tional defense program. U. S. is
supposed to be getting ready to pro-
tect the nation in case of aggression
and to help England hold things in
status quo until that time.
Knudsen pulled no punches and
told the manufacturers that they
were spending too much time fig
uring what to do with their profits
and earnings, and not enough get
ting out the material. This was a
double-barreled blow at the employ
ers for temporizing with employees

UNREST:
French Version

Britain was getting little comfort,
according to her own sources, from
Frances governmental upheaval
which sent Pierre Laval, pro-Fascist
foreign minister, flying out of the
sPetain cabinet presumably into con-
finement, and put Flandin, pro-Nazi,
into his place.
In fact, British circles frankly
doubted the authenticity of any in
ternal disturbance to amount to any,
thing, and laid the whole change to
orders direct from Hitler.
However, it was notable occur
renee, and accompanied by a sour
rying about the streets of Vichy, and
presumably Paris of body of GP-
men-France's new Gestapo or
GPU. In Italy they were calling
them faction Squads" but they are
all the same sort of strong-arm gov
ernmental police.
France called them "Groupe de
protection" hence the GP on the
arm-band. It was GP band that

Runor fioated double barreled

No. had it that Old Man Petain,
realizing that revolt was stirring be-
meath him, charged Laval with plot
ting to get France into the war
against England, and had surnmar-
lily ousted him.
Runor No. was to the effect
that Laval had plotted to overthrow
Petain and create a new govern
ment with himself as dictator.
Whichever might be true, watchers
agreed that the aged general acted
with much the same speed as the
younger Hitler in slapping down a
purge" which shot Laval's feet
from under him with dispatch.
The upheaval met the same view
in most circles, that it was another
evidence of the general European
unrest that was moving through all
the conquered territories, an unrest
that might find no directional force
for long, long time.

Despite all efforts of censorship
to keep the true situation from be-

longer, and Mussolini's aides had to
take to the radio and to the italian

disaster to home fronts.
Dismissal of leaders, disaffection

LOTHIAN:.
Predicts. Then Dies

The notable, blunt-spoken British
bachelor Marques of Lothian, am
bassador from Britain to the United
States, lay dying in his Washington
home from uremic poisoning at the
very moment when his written
words, spoken by proxy at nearby
Baltimore, were predicting what the
war in Europe will be.
Lothian's "deathbed' prediction
was that Britain, with the help al
ready promised and under way from
America, will win the war decisive
ly'' in 1912. r.
Whatever the facts may be, the
shocking news of his death gave his
final utterance unusual prominence
in the news, editors tearing their
hair over the problem of whether
to put the largest headlines on what
had happened to Lothian, or on what
Lothian had said.
His passing was the occasion for
the press here and abroad to ex-
press genuine sorrow and shock at
his untimely death, and his loss was
believed to have left a gaping hole
in Britain's diplomatic body.
Lothian was worker, his speech
was brusque, and these two quail
ties alone had given him great
weight in Washington.
AS to his prediction of the end of
the war in 1912, and with Britain
victor, it was met with keen interest
and perhaps added power because
it was to all practical purposes, his
dying utterance.

CITY:

Strangest public health story in
years "broke" in Rochester, N. Y,
with a whole city of 100000 souls
rushing to be inoculated against
typhoid. 0 oas
First in sharp sequence of dra-
matte events was the ''firing'' of two
city officials when a public health
officer, ION his toes" discovered the
city's water supply had been con-
taminated with water from the Gen
esee river, infested with sewage.
Rochester's population, most of
them modernly health conscious,
rushed to have themselves inocu-
lated against typhoid, a job which
takes three injections with an in
terval between.
First day, the health officers dis
tributed 5000 "shots" of the serum,
which were promptly gobbled up by
private physicians and shot into
5000 anxious arms,
