Says Radio Focuses Attention
On War Exclusively.

To the Editor of The Star:
America, today suffers a mass hypnosis
OF which we are almost entirely I'M
conscious. 1t leads us to identify the
plight of Britain with our own. This
applies even to the President and his
advisers.
All of us in this war are beset inces-
sanity by new instrument, the radio,
which, by constant repetition of news
from abroad, creates a fixed center of
interest, excluding more important con-
Germs
Were there no European war and the
radio were dinning into our minds the
sorry plight of the Chinese, We should
be asking powers beyond law to give out
right aid to the people of China. II,

instantly. Queer, how quickly the
lung brought him back. One second
he felt as though he were completely
over the brink; the next he felt at
ease. 1t was, Doc Meldon had said,
partly psychological, this instant re-
covery. The brain knew that breath
was stopped, and it signalled that
death was here "For a minute didn't

surprised, Connors," he murmured
He had twenty-three hours and forty
minutes to 60, but he could while the
hours away. He could think he was

Oh, she knew, very well, why he was

mockingly. "I'll bet" She tossed down
her drink and reached for her shabby
purse.

Why not take the delightful
breath-sweetening precaution that
so many use-Listerine Antiseptie!
Some cases of bad breath are due
to systemic conditions. But most,
declare some leading authorities,
are due to the fermentation of tiny
food particles that cling to tooth,
gum and mouth surfaces.
Listerine Antiseptic halts such
fermentation, then overcomes the
odors it causes. Your breath becomes
sweeter, purer, less likely to offend.
Remember, when you want to
put your best foot forward, rinse
the mouth with Listerine Antiseptic.
1t may pay you rich dividends in
friendship and popularity.

 Make Records Available
 MT. Alcorn has advised Water bury city officials that he will mako available "as soon as possible" the municipal records used by the state in prosecuting the conspiracy trial.
 His statement came in answer to requests by city officials for the i'm. pounded records, which are stored at the present time in Hartford. In order to institute civil action against former officials of Water bury, Corporation Counsel J. Greg ory Lynch has indicated that the city must look over the records be- fore filing a change, or charges, against those from whom the city will seek damages.
 Alcorn today refused, as he has all week, to comment o1, tomorrows motions. The short calendar ses- sion lists both Alcorr1s, senior ana junior, and Harold G. Mitchell as appearing for the state. Whether or not significance may be. at- tached to their appearance IS matter of speculation.
 In all probability, superior court will be damned with lawyers and jurors tomorrow morning, all Of whom will be interested in hearing the motions and all eager to see what the state will do.
 Scheduled for Hearing
 Scheduled for hearing at the court session is the divorce action, uncontested, of Lucille Guisto Bing- ham against Robert Schofleld Bingham, with Atty. Lawrence J. Matzkin appearing for the plain tiff. .,Y
 Other motions to be heard in cases not yet ready for trial are as follows: Max Ellendorff against Hertha Schultz Ellendorff, defend- ants request for alimony pending trial, and allowance to defend the divorce action; also in the case of George Dulina against Genia Kray- eski Dulina, defendants motion for alimony pending trial and allow ance to defend the action.

 RESCUES COLLIE
WOIcOtt Dog Warden Pulls Animal From Hitchcock
 Lake Waters

A large collie dog was rescued last night from icy waters of Lake Hitchcock by Joseph Asker, dog warden of Wolcott. He was attract ed to the shore of the lake by the plaintive h0wls of the dog in dis. tress. The animal had apparently walked on the ice and fell in.
 While Asker stood on the shore, he saw the dog struggling to retain his hold on the fec with his forc- paws while his body was submerged in the water. Again and again, the animal would lose its grasp on the ice and fall in.
 A neighbor and Askler then ob- tained Q row boat and with two poles managed to get to the dog by clearing the ice in front of the boat. The two managed to get the animal to shore.
 The collie was none the worst for his experience.
