(Ccntinued from Page D from the candidacy of Edward M Ryan as an independent candidate on the American Progressive ticket. Others discounted his influence on the outcome, claiming that as the only candidate on an otherwise blank lever he would be able to at- tract far fewer votes than he did in January.
 There was a general disposition to regard the outcome of the Spe- cial election in January as a "fluke", though Republicans would naturally dispute this point. Such factors as MT. Talbot's personal popularity will, not figure so importantly in Novem-' Der, when full tickets are being chosen. as they did in JanuaCy, when the voters could choose only one of three candidates, it was claimed.
 A key city hall figure venttured the prediction that both MT. Patten and Gov. Hurley would take the city by 5000 votes. Another member of the administration calculated that the margin would be $500. A town committee bigwig said his estimate was a Democratic victory by 4,300, with Mayor Patten leading the ticket here because of the strong endorsements given him by labor organizations.

Fortresses at It Again

Gen. MacArthur's Headquarters, Australia, Oct. IA (UP-Flying fortresses have made their third shattering attack in four days on Rabaul, the biggest Japanese base in the southwest Pacific, Gen. Doug las Macarthur announced today.
 A powerful force of the four mo- tored planes attacked at night and plastered airdrome runways and plane dispersona, areas with 1000 pound bombs.
 The plane crews saw fires and ex- ploSions through the target area and many direct hits on parked air. planes.
 Another force of planes bombed the town of Rahalll. on the north east end of New Britain Island in the Bismarcks, east of New Guinea and northwest of the Solomons.
 Medium bolnbers in strong force made a night attack on the increas- ingly important enemy airdrome on Buka Island, northernmost of the Solomons, and caused fires and ex- plosions.
 Attack planes with a fighter es- cort made a big sweep over the Wairopi village area on the trail leading from the Owen Stanley mountains of New Guinea to Buna the Japanese north coast invasion base, and machine gunned and can nonaded enemy barges on Buna beach.
 Tn the northwestern area, medium bombers attacked Japanese occupied areas of Dill, in Portuguese Netherlands Timor Island.
 Gen. MacArthur reported that the Australians in the Owen Stanley mountains had successfully pene- trated the Japanese defensive posi- tions north of Myola village and close to the Kokoda gap, the pass age to the north slopes, by com- bined frontal and fianking attack and that they continued to advance

ments," they said. "New England could readily have stored this amount"
 Increase Greater Here
 R. L. Minckler, director of petrol cum supply in the OPC, replied that the rate of increase in oil stocks is higher in New England than in any other area. In reality, he said, much of the oil stocks now in the New York area are earmarked for the northeast.
 Following a policy of meeting needs of the most northern resi- dents first, Minckler promised that all ice-bound" storage in Maine would be filled by Nov. 1. He ex- plained that while it is impossible to fill all storage in the southern part of New England, scheduled barge movements will "assure a steady flow"
 The governors told Washington officials that there is now avail able barge equipment idle in New England sufficient to move 10000 barrels daily from New Jersey to southern New England. If orders were given, barges could start this work before midnight"
 Abandonment of kerosene ration ing also was asked by the governors but OPC officials did not say whether they would recommend such action to the office of price administration. final authority in the matter. The governors con- tended that because New England uses large amounts of kerosene for cooking, it represents unique" situation which makes rationing practically impossible"
 The governors agreed that despite all efforts of the OPC, the situation continues extremely critical" Be- cause of the uncertainty which weather, military diversions, wrecks, and disrepair place on transporta- ton facilities, they again appealed to their citizens to convert from o!l to coal.

eral of our ships received minor to moderate damage, and one U. s. de- stroyer was sunk During the en- gagement our forces sank one heavy cruiser (Nati or Atago class) !, four destroyers and an enemy trans port of about 5000 tons."
 That action occurred to the west ward of Savo Island, near the north west point of Guadalcanal and in the vicinity of the previous naval battle which cost the United States three cruisers.
 With the approach of daylight Monday, Navy and Marine corps torpedo and dive-bomber planes set out in pursuit of the battered enemy fleet. At about 10 a. m., two enemy cruisers were spotted south of New Georgia Islands, about 200 miles northwest of Guadalcanal, and the American flyers waded in.
 A torpedo hit was scored on one of the cruisers and it was further damaged by several nearby bc-.lb ex- plosionS.
 "The cruiser was left dead in the water and burning" the Navy said. adding that it had been put out C. action"
 The same afternoon, American flyers again returned to the area near New Georgia Island and at- tackled an enemy cruiser-believed to have been the one knocked out of action earlier in the day-and an accompanying destroyer. A direct bomb hit severely damaged the cruiser and when last seen the crew was abandoning it. A direct hit and several near misses set fire to the destroyer, which was left in a sink ing condition.
 The Japanese cruiser sent to the bottom in the weekend engagement was of about 10000 tons. Since the Nati or Atago class vessels are al- most identical, it was difficult to determine its category.
 The latest attacks on Kiska were made by four-engined Consolidated Liberator and Boeing Flying Fort ress bombers. escorted by Airacobra and Lightning Fighters. It was pre- stunned they operated from the new advanced bases in the Andreanof Islands. Although some of our planes suffered minor damage, probably from anti-aircraft gunfre, all of them returned to their bases.
 For the second time in recent days the Navy reported only mod crate anti-aircraft opposition, and this coupled with complete ab- sence of Japanese combat planes over Kiska indicated the enemy s defense of its only Aleutian base was weakening.

Hartford, Conn, Oct. 4-(UP)- Democratic and Republican 1egisla- tive leaders agreed today to submit a measure at next Mondays special session of the General Assembly providing for 8 uniform p. m. clos ing hour of the polls on election day, Nov. 3.
 The decision to make the closing hour uniform in all communities of the state was arrived at during a meeting of the Legislative council, which comprises House and Senate leaders of both parties.

 When the special session meets at Il a. m. Monday, it will be ad- dressed in joint convention by Gov. Hurley. Then it was believed rules will be suspended and the g D. m. voting hours bill passed with dis patch.
 The measure will not be sent to committee, but will be introduced directly on the floor of both cham bers.
 Meantime, there was growing concern in some communities as to where workers could be found to man the voting booths during the 15-hour period on election day.
