SMITH HAILED AS
 MILITARY EXPERT
Record Called Splendid Example of Intellectual
 IncOrruptibility

Qualifications of Congressman J. Joseph Smith for reelection were cited last night by Richard Joyce Smith of Westport, former profess Sor at the Yale Law school, in a radio address.
 l do not exaggerate," said MT. Smith, "when ! state that Major Smiths reputation as an expert on military legislation is already na- tionwide. It was his foresight more than two years ago that laid the legislative framework for important parts of the defense program now underway. And credit must be given to him above all others for focus ing the attention of the War De- partment upon the absolute neces- sity for improving the defense of New England"
 Added MT Smith:
 His counsel is sought by all, and his word is given careful heed, but it is known and recognized that un- less Cong. Smith is convinced in his own mind that a particular proposal is sound, not all the concentrated power of politics nor the threat of constituents nor the fear of repu- diation can secure his vote for the proposal. Many of you will recall examples of this unf1inching obedi- ence to mind and conscience which has characterized Cong. Smiths ca reer thus far. You know what he has stood for ard why-and even if at times you yourself may have disagreed with his stand, as have I, you also know that his refusal to be moved by the pleas of friends or the threats of foes is splendid example of intellectual incorrupti- bilitv."

JOHNSON, WRENN
 WOLCOTT GUESTS
G. o. P. Candidates Urge Willkie's Election Tues=
 day, November 5

A vote for Wendell L. Willkie is vote for sound foreign relations for this country and will insure the continuance of peace, Frank T.. Johnson, Republican candidate for congress in the fifth district, de- cared at a rally in Wolcott last night.
 Maurice Wrenn, candidate for judge of probate in the Waterbury district, urged the election of Will kie as President, Paul Cornell as U. S. senator and Frank T. John son as congressman. He said he favored changes in the present pro- bate system.
 MT. Johnson said in part:
 "As the time of election ap- breaches it becomes increasingly obvious that the mind of America is centering on one great issue. There is a growing convention that vote for the third term will mean early entry into the European war. In recent days, informed writers about the Wash ington scene have been limiting ever so strongly that our Presi- dent is waiting for reelection be- fore definite steps to commit Amer ica to active participation in the war will be taken. This is net propa- ganda nor is it an attempt on the part of the Republican party to capitalize on the peoples fright at the thought of war to gain votes.
 Tt is the studied opinion of those close to our situation in Washington that vote for Wen dell Willkie will be a vote for sane, foreign relatoins that will help assure us that the young men now being drafted for army service will not need to spill their bad blood in 8 new World War"

Mexican Baskets Popular
As Tourist Souvenirs

MEXICO CITY. Jan. 6.-Bril-
liant Indian baskets are among the
more popular souvenirs Of Mexico
Often purchased at the last moment
by the tourist who suddenly finds
himself in need of extra space to
stow his souvenirs, Mexican baskets
range from coarsely woven reed
hampers to small sewing containers
They are often decorated in vivid
Aztes designs of men, women and
animals, strongly suggestive Of old
Egyptian art.
Because the Indian basketmaker
is a lover Of variety, no two of his
products are identical in design or
color. The best basketry in Mexico
is said to come from the Friday
open-air market at Toluca, a town
about two hours by auto from Mex
leo City.
Gayly colored sombreros, woven
of delicate palm fibers, and fruit
platters and coffee mats made OF
coarser material are also popular
with the tourist.
Vivid "serapes," the Mexican term
for native blankets or rugs, are
much in demand as souvenirs
These serapes have a wool base and
come in sizes ranging from tiny
scatter rugs to standard-size floor
coverings. A frequent motif of de-
sign is the sun god, from which
radiate ancient Indian symbols OF
men, animals and plants. Mexican
serapes from Oaxaca are perhaps
the most famous.
Mexican silver, wrought in the
form Of bracelets, rings, pendants
and other ornaments, Is very popu-
lar with woman visitors to Mexico
Most of these ornaments are ham
mered out in the home by families
who have been engaged in the trade
for generations. The finest silver
work is said to come from Taxco, a
hilltop village within driving dis
tance of Mexico City.
Recently "huaraches,' or native
sandals made of cowhide, have be-
come one of the "musts" for the
American tourist. They are ex-
tremely cool and practical for house
or beach wear.
Beautiful hand-tooled leather
work in the form of handbags, pock-
etbooks, coin purses, belts and bill
folds are highly priced relics ol
Mexico.
Other Mexican souvenirs which
the visitor may pick up at bargain
prices include fancy carved canes
aromatic wooden boxes and Indian
pottery.
