MARKED INCREASE
 IN TELEPHONES
Statement On Business Gains Accompanies
 Dividend Checks

Despite marked increase in the number of telephones in service in the state as well as gain in toll revenues, the Southern New Eng land Telephone Company's net in- come per share for the first nine months of 1940, after reservation of income for expenses applicable to the period, was approximately $5.88 which compares with $5.90 for the corresponding period of 1889.
 In a statement accompanying diy- idend checks for the third quarter, H. c. Knight, president of the con1- pany, points out that the net gain in telephones for the third quarter of 1940 wag approximately 4,200 which compares with 1,776 for the same quarter of 1889. Toll traffic in- creased slightly more than 2 per cent under similar comparison.
 'TheSe gains" writes MT. Knight, "are abnormal in that they reflect chiefly the continuing industrial &C., tivity induced by the National De- fense Program. While this effect is nationwide in varying degree, it is partic llarly marked in the State of Connecticut which not only has a large part in producing implements fo war but is also devoted to the manufacture of a wide range of oth- CT essential products,
 Operating expenses were in nor- nal relation to the volume of busi- ness except for the favorable factor of an unusually small amount of storm trouble during the summer months. Taxes, of course, were substantially higher"
 A quarterly dividend of SITS per share, payable October IS, was de- clared by the board of directors at recent meeting.

viously not conductive to the pulp lie health, safety or interest and for whom replacements are not desirable. This would include pro- fessional gamblers, tipsters and touts, policy bankers and their runners, slot machine and other gambling device makers, salesmen, distributors and operators of such equipment, loan sharks, poolroon hangers-on, and others of that type.
 This does not mean that the army is going to be filled by men from these various classes to the exclusion of other elements of the community. How men are to be taken and when they will be taken depends entirely upon how their numbers are drawn, based upon the lottery at Washington.
 CONSCRIPT ARMY
 WILL BE CROSS-SECTION
 It might well be that the first man drawn in the community would be the owner of a big store who did not ask for deferment. The next man might be a clerk. The next might be a school teacher. The next might be unern- ployed.
 The whole point is that by the end of the lottery, the army of 100000 which will be drawn and drafted in mid November will be a general cross-section of the country. It will be composed of rich and poor, employed and un- employed, white and colored, skilled and unskilled, married and unmarried.
 If the army has its way and the local draft boards heed its wishes, the army will be about as demo- cratic as the ordinary classroom in 8 public school. All will be Americans doing their duty in the interests of their country.
 Army officials are hopeful that this goal will be reached by rea- son of the force of public opinion. It is not believed that the general public would permit any financial, social or political pull to interfere with the working of the law.
 The local board chosen in each community will be men of sub stance and integrity. They are not apt to run counter to the intent of the law as underlined in the regulations drawn up by army and navy officers.

 It said that Japan had already taken measures to meet the Ameri- can scrap iron embargo which be- came effective today, and it com- mented that Russia had good op- portunity to effect rapprochement with Japan because Japanese pub lie opinion strongly favored it.
 Newspapers increasingly pressed for a Japanese Russian non-ag- gression pact in order to make se- cure Japan's position after it's al- nance with Germany and Italy.
 Gen. Yoshitsugu Tatekawa, the new Japanese ambassador, was un- derstood to be confident that he would adjust relations on his arriy- al at Moscow.

LIBERALIZATION

Hurley Wants Old Age As- sistance Given More
 Guarantees

Hartford, Conn, Oct. 16.-CUP)- Robert A. Hurley, Democratic can- didate for governor, today said he would propose legislation to liber- alize the old age assistance act to remove "a hardship to aged and needy persons" if he is elected in November.
 He said he would recommend modification of certain restrictions that not only prevent the aged and needy from obtaining assistance, but actually fill the hearts of these old folk with fear and terror at the time of their lives when peace and security and comfort are their rightful lot"
 Hurley said he would ask that beneficiaries be allowed to keep $500 in insurance and up to $2500 equity in property as 'a matter of simple humanity" The law now provides that insurance and property be as- signed to the state. which makes suitable rebates to the estate in event of death.
