COLORADO SEES 42 BAROMETER
 IN DEC. g VOTE
National Issues Stressed in Congressional
 Campaign
BY WILLARD HASELBUSH United Press Staff Correspondent

united Press Staft correspondent
 Denver, Nov. l1--(UP)-Twenty four counties of Western Colorado vote Dec. g. = a special congress sional election which gives signs of becoming a testing ground II months ahead of the nationwide off-year elections of 1942.
 The candidates have been named and the campaign is under way amid increasing signs that the for eign and domestic policies of Presi- dent Roosevelt will be the major issue.
 After hearing Gov. Ralph L. Carr criticize the President and call for 6 crusade" against spending poll publicans of the 4th congressional district named Robert F. Rockwell of Poanla, state senator and former lieutenant governor, as their candi- date. Rockwell announced that my policies vii be Republican"
 Democrats nominated Frank Delaney of Glenwood Springs, an attorney, as their candidate after adopting a resolution indorsing the foreign and domestic policies of the administration. Delaney's first act was to indorse the resolution.
 For TaylOr's Seat
 Winner in the special election will fill the one year remaining of the unexptred term of the late Rep Edward T. Taylor, Democrat and Americas oldest congressman. Rep Taylor died recently in Denver in his 32d year as Colorado represen- tative.
 Gov. Carr, outspoken foe of the administration and the man who served as floor manager for Wendell l.. Willkie at the G. o. P. national convention, said in his keynote ad- dress that "the eyes of the nation are on Western Colorado"
 The governor declared that if 8 Republican won on Dec. 9 you will be setting an example for patriotic Americans in every state to follow; you will announce that the United States is going to be restored to its place as the seat of constitutional government"
 Excessive Spending Charged
 Carr said centralization of au- thority in Washington lis weaken ing the character of the citizen" He said large sums must "of course" be spent for defense, but asserted much money is being wasted in Washington on non-defense work. "
 Small industransts, the small Shopkeeper and other individuals are being wiped out in the name of national defense" he said.
 National Committeeman James Marsh of Denver answered for the Democrats with the following state- ment.
 In this great national crisis we should all be Americans before we are partisans. There are Q number of local issues in the 4th congress sinai district that may, with pro- priety, be debated during this cam paign. But if the Republican gov- ernor wants to fight 1t out on the question of whether or not the people are in favor of adequate na- tional defense, we are quite sure the Democratic party will be willing to meet him on that issue"

 ARE GOING UP
 This sort of thing, of source means that all prices are ris- ing. Food prices are going up, rents are going up because of space shortage, and wages are be- ginning to climb. There are no labor unions in Brazil, but labor is protected by every sort of social legislation, and the pressure for increased pay to meet increasing prices is beginning to be felt everywhere.

 radio stations as part of iss selling program for the gas which fl hopes to continue to receive, but which has already been slightly Tckesed, since sales must cease from Saturday night until Mon- day morning.
 Americans are everywhere, and the boom has spread 90 far and wide that even the old town of Manaos, a thousand miles up the Amazon, is said to be stirring and threatening to shake off It's acc cuSnulated dust and legends Of the gay nineties and become alive and real again.
 Manaos was the center of ths rubber country of the good old days. It was famulously rich. II required weeks of travel to reach Manaos, but one of the most beau. tifui and costly opera houses in the world was built there. It M said to have cost nine million dole lars.
 The interior was dazzling, it's stage overwhelming and the dressing rooms were outfatted with rare Brazilian antiques. Ttal- ian opera companies were brought across the Atlantic and up the Amazon to the Manaos opera house.
 Then Manaos passed out as a rubber center. The population of the city dwindled to 100000, But the proud citizens took care of the opera house. It was kept clean and in repair. Even the dressing room where the now long dead and departed artists donned their robes for operatic roles were kept in order as they left them. FABULOUS MANAOS IS ASTTR. AGAIN
 The citizens may yet be re- warded. For twice weekly now little Pan American puddle hop per makes the trip up to Manaos from the lower Amazon and Be. lem in nine hours. The ship is a single motor "sea plane" and 1t flies up the river.
 Rubber Is stirring in the Man. aos country again. There are also Brazil nuts and rosewood oil tc be extracted for perfumes. Amer. jeans ride the river plans and re. turn to Belern exhausted from the dust and heat of the interior, tc say nothing of showing the effects of its uncertain water and food supply. But the latest arrival al Beienl reported that with the hope of the populace renewed the opera house has been re. opened. They are playing Vic. trola in 1t.

 Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, Nov. H. Brazil is in the midst of tremen- douS boom.
 ? In Rio, in Sac Pallo and other cities new apartments are going up, new office buildings are rising in every direction in expanding buSi- ness sections. Airlines to the inter- for as well as up and down the coast, are loaded to capacity and the sound of the carpenters ham, mer and the scrape of the troWel re- sound throughout the land.
 The demand is for steel and more steel, and so great is the demand for cement that there is danger of shortage. Around the harbor water front, and elsewhere, the skeletons of new apartments rise in every block in the bright sunlight with workmen swarming over them.
 Office space is not to be had in Rio, hotels are crowded, bank de- posits are up 25 to 40 percent. European refugees have brought millions in new money to the country. OOInS Ol CLllS IS pe11lE III" vested in Brazilian enterprises, small, new industries and bus ineSses, and some in real estate. Stories to be heard-and on good authority are reminiscent of Florida boom days.
 One American answered a call to his door recently to be con- fronted by stranger who said hss had been adlniring the residents waterfront home from the out side, and wanted to know if 1t was for sale. The American, in business here, hadn't thought of 1t before, but agreed that for prop CT price he might sell. He was asked to name the price, and pro- ceeded to hit on a nice round fig ure which he thought was pro- hibitive on the basis of values in Rio as he knew them. It was $25,00O.
 That's a lot of milreis, even at twenty to the dollar. The unex. pected caller asked if he might see the inside of the house, He was
