 RALLY TUESDAY
America First Committee Invites Rev. Leland Mar
 kle, M. Webb Wright

The public is invited to attend an open patriotic rally against Amer ica's involvement in another foreign war, which will be sponsored by the America First Committee, in the central Y. M. c. A. Tuesday evening at 8 p. m. Two prominent speakers will address the meeting. They are the Rev. Leland Markle of the Epis- copalian church of Bridgeport, and the Rev. M. Webb Wright of the South Federated church of this city.
 There will be another principal speaker who will be sent here by the New York Chapter of the Amer lea First Committee, but as yet this speakers name has not been made known to the local committee.
 Organized only a few months ago, the Waterbury chapter of the Amer ica First Committee, has grown into an exceptionally large organization with over 1900 local people affiliated with the group.
 All persons are urged to attend this rally since both of the speak CTS are well known throughout the state as very able public speakers.
 Rev, Mir. Markle is recognized as one of the outstanding churchmen in this state and openly opposes Am erica's entrance into another for eign war. He has been making numerous speaking appearances against our involvement and has won thousands of loyal supporters to his cause.
 Those people who attend tomor- row nights meeting are assured of most interesting meeting.
