The last thing the third term advocates want is for Roosevelt to talk now. They know no better than the next man whether he is, or is not, seriously thinking of running again, but they are firmly convinced thath the longer he Withholds making a decision the better the chances that he can be drafted.
 For some months their chief private worry has been that under the heavy pressure he would break down and declare himself. One of the keystones of their strategy has been to forestall any such state ment.
 Following Jim Farley's Boston bombshill - a big shock to the White House, which had believed that Jim could be "handled"-the inner circlers became particularly concerned. Their fears were in- famed by an inside tip that Far ley was secretly planning to de- mand a "yes or no" answer after his current speaking tour, also by a report that the President had intimated to a congressional lead- CT that a statement might be ex- pected soon.

Sunday will bring one of those rare spectacles solar eclipse. This phenome- non will not be as spectacular as some we have enjoyed in Waterbury. This is due to the fact that the moon will be so far away from the earth when it passes in front of the sun that the rim of the suns surface can be seen at the moment of totality. This is called an annular eclipse. Look for the occurrence about 3 D. m. if weather conditions are good.

SVCA1 mittee. It had some leads of its own. But the only time it raised the Red issue, it picked as it's target the boards chief economist, David Sa- posS, who is as devout an anti Communist as exists anywhere.
 This led the House to cut off the money for Saposs's division, but it also made lot of people wonder if the committee was both blind and dumb
 TIPS ON REDS
 ARE STILL GOOD
 It wasn't. Canny Congressman Howard Smith and his counsel, Edmund Toland, knew exactly what they were doing.
 In the first place, they succeeded in hitting the Labor Board a crip- bling blow by killing its research staff (unless, of course, the Senate reverses the House). In the second place, all of those tips and leads are still good. They can still be used-but it isn't necessarily the Smith committee that has to use them.
 Congressman Smith feels an inquiry into Communism, if any, on the Labor Board would take him a little off his beat and get him into matters he doesn't feel qualified to handle. He is also a good friend of Martin Dies and doesn't want to seem to poach on Dies preserves. But he does think this subject ought to be looked into by somebody.
 Remember, now, that one of Congressman Dies chief aims is to expose the presence of Communists on the government payroll and to reveal their activities; that he and Smith have discussed this matter of late, and that Smith is ready to turn over to him all the material he has-and you can see that this particular red issue probably won't be dropped, after all.

o. How large are the asteroids that occupy the space between the orbits of the planets Mars and Jupiter?
 A. Their size is very difficult to determine, since they are usually seen in telescopes only at points of light. Only four of the brightest, and apparently the largest, have been measured. They are: Ceres, 48O miles in diameter; Pallas, BOA miles in diameter; Vesta, 24O miles in diam eter; and Juno, 120 miles in diam eter. Judging from the amount of light reflected by the other known asteroids, very few are as much as 100 miles in diameter, and most of them may not exceed 10 or 12 miles.
 @. What is the meaning of the German word "lebensraum?"
 A. "Living-space." .S
 o. What working mediums are used by cartoonists Galbraith, Tal- burt, Wortman and Johnstone?
 A. Galbraith employs charcoal and ink; Talburt and Wortman use crayon; Johnstone uses pen and ink.
 @. Must a story be copyrighted in order to be protected?
 A. No. Have two witnesses whom you can trust read your story. If it is used by another unfairly, you then have grounds for suit at com mon law. Copyright gives an added protection after publication.
