met EDGAR Murphy.
He was a noted man-abOut

the deserted village that it is
today.
Edgar was a true disciple
of Epicurus.
He was a gourmet.
He loved good food.
He was "a connoisseur OF
good wine.
In fact, he was an agent for
some of the finest French
wines, and promoted the "im-
prisOned laughter of the peas
ant girls of France" in an eff
fective manner.
And those were the days
when there was laughter and
not heartbreak in France,
when life was gay and bright
i'm that beautiful land.
The wine business was good
then, and many a thousand
gallons of rich California wine
were brought to France and
blended and sold back Ia
America for the fine wine
that it really was and IL.

YALE DIRECTOR STATE CHAIRMAN
Theodore Zier to Super. wise Plans for Observ-
 anCe of Natl Art Week

Theodore siEer, director of the Yale University Art Gallery, has been appointed State Chairman of Connecticut for National Art Week, November 17 to %, by Thomas J. Watson, chairman of the National Council for Art Week. Deane Keller, associate professor at the School of Fine Arts, has been asked to serve as vice. e-chairnan.
 MT. Sizer, whose executive coun- cil is nearly completed, has request ed a number of interested persons to head local committees in various cities and towns throughout the state, and several exceptions have already been received. Tn outlining his plans for the state organization, MT. Sizer reported that all artists and craftsmen will be urged to pre- pare now for the sales exhibitions during the week of November 17 in order to be able to enter more work than last year.
 According to Mir. Sizer the educa- tional aspects of American Art for American Homes" will be stressed this year and larger number of activities planned to cover a wider area.
 The Art Project of the WPA is as- sisttng the State Executive Council in reaching ell the artists and craftsmen in the state with ir1- formation. Art organizations, wo- mems clubs, civic groups and educa- tors will be approached to cooperate in furthering public interest in the work.
 The Connecticut Crafts Society is sponsoring the crafts sales exhibit ions which will be conducted in two or three centers in the state.
 With total sales of $2,454. Con- necticut led all of the New Eng land states in the volume of Art Week sales last year when the movement was inaugurated. Ap~ proximately 60 craftsmen submitted 2i00 pieces of work while about 400 painters and sculptors showed over 1900 items in this state. This year the Executive Council hopes to in- crease entries in all classifications particularly ceramics and sculpture.
 The reports from local chairmen who served in 1940 showed that much of the work was priced higher than many prospective purchasers could afford. The suggestion is being made to both artists and craftsmen to enter more of their lower priced items without sacrificing a high standard of quality. A nationwide survey of Art Week reports indi- cated that over 00% of the work sold last November was priced at $25 or less.

Commissioner Danaher said Con- necticut had approximately $62,0o0,. 900 in unemployment compensation funds at Washington.
 "The proposed legislation" Dan- aher said, twill take all of that trust fund of approximately $62,- 100000 and distribute 1t under the naturalization plan to employees of other states where funds have been found to be insufficient.
 "The ultimate result of the pro- posed legislation will be to nation alize or socialize the administration of the unemployment compensation systems in the United States. Sev- eral states are already bankrupt and the national government has taken them over for that reason.
 "Connecticut, however, has safe- guarded the interests of its em- ployes in industry by the amount of our trust fund achieved through careful administration. Connecticut has further protected the interests of its employees in industry by pro- viding a stopgap so that in event our fund became dangerously de- creased the amount of benefits paid would be reduced.
 Connecticut Is the only state In the union having this feature. If permitted to continue, our funds would be safe"
 Danaher said the McNutt plan also would nationalize the state employment services. He said 1t was his belief the plan soon would be submitted to President Roosevelt, and probably sent to Congress with in a short time.

Using the same basis, the cost of living in September, 1899, was 155; in September, 194o, 187, and Septem- Der, l941, 199. During the last war, Britain's cost of living reached a peak of 277.
 These figures, however, have mighty little in common with the living costs of the well-to-do Britor and even less with American living in London hotels and eating rest aurant fare.
 A hotel room, which would cost about $3 in New York, is $6 here. Any reasonably good dinner at a restaurant costs a minimum of $2. Pressing suit costs $l.20, cigarets 30 cents package or more, and whiSkey, which retailS at $3 in New York, is nominally priced at about $3.50 here but costs $6 to SIP when 1t Is found.
 Americans find only two things at prices which seem reasonable taxicabs and clothing. TaXis actually are cheaper despite the blackout. You can ride three miles for about 50 cents. As for clothing, tailor made tweed suit that probably would cost $l00 in New York is ob- tainable here for less than $50.
 The cost of living, as result of price fixing and rationing, for the average man, who maintains him. self and his family at 8 point just above the subsistence level, is only A per cent higher than before the war. But above that point, things do so up pretty fast,' one govern ment official admitted.

1 line of the German offensive now in its goth day.
 The afternoon war communique reported that the Russians had turned back German attacks with heavy losses in the Orel area and said that in six days of fighting there, the Germans had lost li3 tanks, 43 field guns and i3 fuel and ammunition trucks. Two small Russian units were credited with the destruction of 20 tanks, six field guns, two anti-aircraft batteries and four mine throwers.
 The communlque said fighting continued all along the front throughout the night and was espe- cially fierce in the Kalinin, Moz- haisk and MaloyaroSlavets direc- tons.
 First COmmunique
 Moscow's first war communicate today, broadcast by Moscow radio and heard here by the United Press listening post, said:
 "On Monday there was fighting along the whole front. Fighting wa! particularly heavy in the Mozhaisk Maloyaroslavet and Taganrog (Ses of Azov) directions.
 "On the central front, Germar troops supported py big tank units carried out several fierce attacks against our positions. Our troops re- pulsed them"
 The communique specified tha, the Russians were inflicting effec. tive blows on the Germans in the Orel-Bryansk direction south ane southwest of Moscow.
 A special war review said Rus. sian forces were fighting heroicail, against tank and infantry attacEi with which the Germans were con. tinuing their offensive in most sectors. It was added that there was no appreciable change in the front.
 After noting especially heavy fighting in the Kalinin. Mozhaisk and Maloyaroslavets sectors, north and west of Moscow, the review de- Scribed actions in which the Rus sians had not only held the Ger mans but regained some ground in counter attacks.
 Admit German Advance It was admitted that the Ger. n4 ans had advanced some few miieS" in the Mozhaisk direction 6s l1ileS from Moscow to the west, Gt the cost of enormous" losses in a tank battle. But here again, the war review said. the Russians counter attacked and left many tanks and hundreds of dead on the hattlefi.ld.
 There was fighting as violent 1T the Maloyaroslavets sector 66 miles west-southwest of Moscow, the re. view sai. The Germans attacked with concentrated forces of tanks and infantry, 1t was asserted, but all attempts to break through were ts -own back with heavy losses.
 The war review E"id Russian planes despite unfavorable weather continued to attack German troop concentrations and tank columns with success, and credited planes with destroying in one sector alone In five days, i0e German tanks. lee armored cars, two anti aircraft batteries, six ammunition dumps. a mokoreyelss end much other wHs material.

EVACUATION OF JEWS

Berlin, Oct. 2l.-(UP)-A large evacuation of Jews from the reich to the protectorate of Poland, which began last week, continued In full swing today. Reliable quarters said that nightly special transports car- rying 1000 Jews or more moved out of the reich.
 Cities chiefly affected in the pres ent drive were said to include Ber- line, Cologne, Dusseldorf and other Rhineland cities and Prague.
 Most of the Jews, it was said, were taken first to Litznannstadt (form- erly Lodz) and from there were be. ing distributed in ghettoeS in former Polish cities. It was believed that approximately 10000 Jews were in- volved in the latest movement. Most were described as elderly men, wo- men and children but there have been cases of younger Jews who, returning to their homes from work In arms factories, have found secret police waiting with orders for them to leave immediately.

 Six of Dover'S l2 schools reopened with about 1900 students. There were 4,300 before the war. There are II teachers where there had been 5S.
 Of the school buildings two have been damaged severely by bombs and four have been requisitioned for military purposes or for storage of furniture from bombed homes.
 Three Sessions Daily
 Three 90-minute sessions are be- ing held daily for children aged eight to IA. There are never more than 25 children in a group at any time nor more than two groups in building. They take classrooms on opposite sides of the school, as a precaution in case shells or bombs should come while school is in ses- sion.
 There are four men and seven women teachers, ard the boys and girls are taught separately.
 The students are children who were not evacuated under the gov- ernment plan that took most young sters into the interior. Since June 2, 1940, when the government order ed the schools closed, they have been living in this town which has had more "alerts" than any other in England.
 They sleep in cave shelters dug into the white chalk cliffs. Their parents have ignored repeated pleas by authorities that they be sent to safety.
 Sitting two-by-two in 6 classroom, they resemble American youngsters at school, except that gasmasks hang beside each desk, and outside the building is a concrete bomb shelter where they will take refuge If the first few shells don't hit the school house-the next time the long-range guns serd shells scream Ing over the channel.

(Continued from Page D escaped from a concentration camp where he had been sentenced to death. Posing as his daughter, she went with him to Marseilles. The journey took four weeks over back roads.
 At MarSeilles, the officer pretend ed he wanted to go to Africa to join the Vichy forces there. When they reached Africa, they went into hiding for four months.
 Then, with @ French corporal and private, they obtained @ 12-foot motor boat with enough gasoline to go 60 miles. With eight pints of wa- ter, eight pounds of bread and a homemade compass, they left Africa.
 At the very start they lost their rudder and their engine flooded. They made repairs but ran out of gasoline. For five days they rowed and sailed-using an improviSed sail before 8 British patrol boat picked them up and took them to 8 port where they boarded @ convoy bound for England.
 The girl arrived here looking like an American coed. She wore ankle socks, low-heeled shoes and a shirt waist and skirt. She breezed into the Free French headquarters and asked for 6 secretary's job.
 T took typing in school" she said.
 Naxis Fear For oil
 1stanbul, Oct. 21 - (UP) - An American traveller arriving from the Balkans reported today that Ger man authorities are working night and day or the defenses of the Ru- manian oil fields In anticipation of an all-out attempt by the Royal Air Force to wreck this vital source of supply for the NaM military mach inc.
 He reported that Nad military au- thorities fear the British attack will be launched at any time. He said large crews of German specialists and Rumanian workmen are work ing on building concrete retaining walls around oil reservoirs, and sand bagging machinery.
 Some military sources believed that without Rumanian oil the Ger man military machine would not be able to continue its big offensive in Russia.
 The American traveller said Ru- mania is now shipping Germany nearly 5,000,000 tons of petroleum products e year, 100000 tons more than the Reich is obtaining from synthetic plants at home.
 More Bomber Raids
 London, Oct. 21 - (UP) - The Royal Air Force, sent more than 200 planes on raids against Bremen, Wilhelmshaven, Emden and other parts of northwest Germany during the night and renewed its daylight offensive against northern France today.
 Authoritative sources said seven times more British planes raided Germany than German bombers raided Britain during the night. They said the weather was "better" implying that flying conditions still were too poor to risk maximum force, which is considered moYe than 300 planes. Bad weather had kept the RAF inactive since last week.

 was principal on four bonds, each for $25,000. The first bond cov- cred the years of 1s30 and 1881; the second, 1932 and 1888: the third, 1884 and 1885; and the fourth 1886 and 1897. In addition, there was 6 bond of Martin Dunn which was specifically limited to his ac. tivitieS as paymaster covering the years of 1936 and 1897, in the amount of S20,000. The Maryland Casualty Company was surety on each of the above bonds.
 From the beginning, 1t ap. peared to your committee that there was no evidence showing that Martin Dunn was involved in any way as paymaster since his actual duties appear to have been more in the nature of assistant controller and purchasing agent. Recovery on his bond as paymas- ter, therefore, seemed impossible.
 "A suit was brought against Daniel J. Leary and the Maryland Casualty Company based on the four bonds of Daniel J. Leary, and nee gotiations with his surety com- pany with view to @ settlement have been in progress for more than Q year.
 "A full trial of this suit would recessitate months of preparation in court work and entail Q very heavy expense for accounting and legal services. Your committee has felt that the interest of the city would be best served by sec curing the largest net return pos- sible.
 Assuming that the trial should be successfully prosecuted and Q judgment should be received for the full amount of the bonds, the net return to the city would prob- ably be between $75O00 and $s0 1000 at the most.
 "Of course, the bonding company has strongly contended that they had certain defenses as surety which would make 1t impossible for us to recover at all on the early bonds and make 1t very difficult for us to recover on the later bonds. Recovery on the first bond which covered the years of 1930 and 1881 would be exceptionally difficult.
 After numerous conferences, the Maryland Casualty Company has given final offer of settlement in the amount of $70,O00. Since the maximum net recovery would, in no event exceed that offer by more than a few thousand dollars, we feel that 1t would be poor busi- ness to risk the loss of $7O,O00 plus the expenses of trial in the hope of recovering so little more than the offer.
 ''The progress of the negotia- tions has been discussed informal ly with members of the board of finance and to all, this offer seems to be one which may be accepted. Upon the receipt of the $70,O00, the city would cancel the bonds of the Maryland Casualty Company, for Daniel J. Leary and Martin Dunn. It is specifically understood by the bonding company that the city is retaining any rights 1t may have against others involved. The suit against Daniel J. Leary, and the bonding company would. of course, have to be withdrawn from court, but the action, against Daniel J. Leary. brought by the members of the Citizens Good Government As- sociation, to which the city is now party plaintiff, would remain bee fore the court
