IG. D. P. PROPOSES |HENNICE'S NAME
Leader of Jewish War Vet erans Mentioned for Sem
 atOriaI Nomination

The name of Rudolph M. Hem nick of IS Avalon Circle was ad- vanced today as a prospective Re- publican nominee for state senator in the 18th district. A quiet move 1nent to secure the nomination for him was reported underway, and high party circles admitted that he had been discussed as a candidate.
 Up to now the leading contender for the nomination has been Harold B. Post, former president of the Young Mems Republican club. Otil- CTS in the field are John. w. Me- Gurk, a candidate for state repre- sentative two years ago, and Louis Ciraldi, first vice-president of the Young Mems Republican club.
 Mir. Hennick has been prominent in veterans circles, particularly as a member and officer of David Fannick post, Jewish War Veter- ans, and in the state department or- ganization of the Jewish War Vet erans.
 The Republican nominee in the 18th district will find himself op- posing Attorney Michael V. Blans- field, who won the Democratic pri- mary in the district last Wednes- day and who will be formally nomi-. mated by the Democrats at a sena- torial convention tonight.
 MT. Hennick apparently has strong support for the nomination presumably having the backing of William J. Pape.

HENRY TO TEACH COURSE ON RADIO
Natural Speaking Lessons to Start Thursday at Wa=
 terbury Girls Club

Jack Henry will teach new type of course under the auspices of the Waterbury Girls Club, starting next Thursday, September 26, at 8 D. m. The series of Is weekly classes is titled, Natural Speaking for Ra- dio," and will embody newly taught fundamentals of speech necessary for radio speaking as opposed to platform delivery
 In speaking of plans for the course, Henry pointed out that a knowledge of the principles of elo- cution for platform speaking are more of hindrance than a help in preparing for radio delivery. The problems of radio do not concern the voilce projection and over-enun- citation necessary to keep the gall leries listening to platform ad- dress. AS the radio microphone functions in manner similar to the human ear, the problem of ra- dio speaking is more nearly a prob- lem of correct natural speaking. Henry points out. however, that natural speaking is not exemplif1ed by the normal speaking tehcnique of most people.
 He contends that most people make far less use of their nature given speaking faculties than they do with any of the other human faculties It is his belief that almost everyone has the ability to make an exceptionally good speaker or
