Just exectly what this group wants Is not clear, not even to the Republican party leadership It. self. Because the group contains persons of such varying political phIlos0phies that 1t Is difficult to pin anything down with certainty. OMe thing does appear to be definite. They don't like Bradley's leadership.
 Rep. FaFnham. for instance, ls said t6 be in favor of . state in- come tax. Not by any stretch of the imagination could Rep. Howe or Rep. Marsh, two legislators who are personally well off, be seen In favor of such 3 measure. Yet they appear to be together now for some reason.
 Rep. Redick and Rep. Rylander. two of the three women in the group, are said to be candidates for the Republican nomination for Secretary of State, although one probably would bow to the other In event of a contest.
 Rep. Mead, who for years has been trying to climb the political ladder in the house only to be shunted aside for other men, is reported to be candidate again for House Speaker, post now held by Rep. Hugh M. Alcorn, Jr. Un- doubtedly If Alcoyn Is promoted to a place on the state ticket, Rep. William l.. Hadden, Orange, will be candidate for speaker also.
 Rep. Marsh and Rep. Howe both were candidates for high places in the House when the legislative session began early this year. Howe was denied reelection as House Speaker, and Rep. Marsh didn't get anywhere with his ambitions. They were together, more or less, during the entire legislative ses- sion.
 Sen. Baldwin Is seen as opposed to the leadership of Bradley. Baldwin was an official on the State Central Committee when State Chairman HarwoOd was in control, but now has been relegated to 0bscurity, so far as the State Committee is concerned.
 So far as can be determined, therefore, this group comprises legislative clements In the party who either are anti Bradley or have personal ambitions which they feel cannot be satisfied under the present party leadership.
 There are other influential party leaders, such as Attorney General Francis 4. Pallotti, former State Sen. Anthony Rich, Bristol, and former Sen. Charles J. Arrigoni, Durham, who do not see things as Bradley does, but have not yet been identified directly with the group which has been holding meetings.
 Perhaps State Labor Commis- sioner Cornelius J. Danaher, U. 6. Sen. John 4. Danaher and Mayor Francis Danaher of Meriden, also could be classified as not among the Bradley supporters.
 Whether these various "ani" groups ever will get together is another story. But 1t is interest ing that matters have gone so far that discussions are being held.

Accompanying this action, which
threw a political shadow over the

career of the best-known Soviet
statesman. the Communist leaders
also warned the heads of Russia s
chemical. munitions. sea transport,

will be thrown out of their posi-
lions unless their work improves
Immediately.
The veteran Litvinov who ne
gotiated American recognition of
the Soviet regime and achieved
other diplomatic triumphs before
losing his foreign affairs portfolio
to Molotov. was cast into the
political limbo for failing TO full
fill his obligations, along with
three others.

IN prised at your censure Of the
women voters.
To me, il was not so much a
question of working wonders" in
politics that 1 was an advocate OF
women suffrage. The issue was,
whether or not, we, as human
beings, intellectual equals, citizens
of free republic, and as tax pay
ers, had right to vote.
! think you expected too much
of Us.
They gave the cOlOred man his
vote after the Civil War.
II was a new experience for him.
Did he revolutiOniZe politics:
He did not.
We haven't either, and never in
tended to, as much as know.
After ages of subsection and
subserviency We could not come
out like jack-in-a-box and
change mans world into a
woman's idea of what a world
should be.
Besides, the men were still vot.
ing, and, l believe, had a greater
voting strength.
And, too, women do not all
think alike, any more than men.
There was a political set-up all
fixed by constitutional law that
We had TO abide by, also men In
every office ready to challenge any
wOman's capabilities, apd we were
perhaps a little timid in the begin
ming.

In her mind and heart-namely to
prevent war?
Women are not towards.
II IL were a just war of defense
of our own American soil, they
would find many women In the
lines of defense work.
But this is not the case, and
consequently women want to pre-
vent this war.
But what can be done:
Can we succeed when the ques-
ton was always in the hands Of
the few and not the many?
Now women are human beings
and being human have that I'M
happy faculty of depending upon
one, a leader, to show the way.
Once shown, they are fervent
and tireless followers.
We have such women, capable Of
such leadership.
Where are they:
We women need just to be shown
what ii is that we can do and
then try and stop us.
Very sincerely,

The article further asserted that
the chances of an invasion are
considered here to be so manifold
that it should be difficult for the
British to detect any feigned ac-
tons" Continuing, the article said:
cit will have I o be seen
whether England did not employ
her offensive power in the wrong
