 The 1l90-ton Reuben James was one of the old flush deck type, four stacker destroyers built during the World war period and of the same design as the 50 traded to Great Britain for naval bases.
 Although no details have been rec leased, 1t was suggested that the tor. pedo might have struck the forward part of the ship. It was pointed out that none of the seven officers has been reported, some of whom must have been on the bridge at the time.
 Third Destroyer Attacked
 The Reuben James was the third American destroyer attacked of 1ce- land by submarines. Tn addition to the Kearny, the Greer was the tar get of two torpedoes fired while t was trailing a submarine September 4. They missed.
 Whether the navy has actually sunk any submarines since receiv. ing shoot on sight orders is mol known. Both President Roosevelt and Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox have indicated plainly that they won't announce such Bi1kings This Is the policy of the British or the theory that uncertainty over the fate of U-boat crews will destroy the morale of other crews.
 The Kearny, which was rushing to aid of q merchantmen in 6 con. voy being attacked by q German submarine, dropped depth charges before bein gstruck on the starboarc side by one of three torpedoes fired at her.

 Because of the sharp differences between the governor and Long over the meals tax issue, there was spec ulation today among Beacon Hill observers as to what would happen to the commissioner when his term expires next month.

 Some of the features installed 1n the new dial system, and set up in a single panel of the new switchboard where they can be continually supervised by the tele- phone operators, include a watch man reporting system, fire alarm, code call, water flow indicators, conference circuits, and crash alarm system where, with the spin of dial, all gate houses can be contacted at one time.

 After the change, scovill's oper- ators will move to new switch- board, located in an aeoustically- treated room. Here they will handle all incoming calls, as well as cer- tain intercommunicating calls rec quiring their assistance. Most irl- ternal calls will be dialed directly by telephone users in the plant and many users will be able to dial calls to city telephones.

The strangeSt part of 1t is that every political worker sincerely be- iieyes that his district is fin the bag" after '.e gives a few hellos or buys a drink for the boys. But an organization" can't win on such efforts as that, unless 1t Is lucky enough to have the majority of vot- CTS with 1t. This was shown in 1888, when the Democratic and Repubn- can ~machines" transported thou- sands of voters to the polls only to have a large proportion of those voters cast their ballots for Jasper McLevy. the Socialist candidate for governor.

Of course, 1t is heresy for a poli- tical reporter to say such a thing but the facts are very plain if we can manage to put aside the old as sumptions that winning party wins only because of the perfection of its organization work.
 The Democratic party, for tn- stance, won the city election two wears ago in spite of some very bad blunders by campaign managers and without the aid of an organization" Just prior to election, the town com mittee had been drastically shaken up and political novices were placed in charge of some election districts. The fact that the Democrats won that election was no tribute to a party machine but could be credited to two factors: CD A large majority of Waterbury voters has the habit of voting Democratic, (2) An over- Rhelming number of Democrats wanted the party to have a chance 30 vindicate itself.
