of Congress who gets
defeated for reelection can blame
only himself
Patrick, a self-styled "lame
duck frequently referred to as
the philosopher of the House,
ought to know whereof he
speaks.
He was defeated recently in
the Alabama primaries.
Philosophizing today on his
first setback in six years in Con-
gress, the 48-year-old lawyer
said he had little sympathy for
d eff &c ated Congressman who
blamed labor, the war, the ma
tional administration, or any
thing else except their own
selves.
In his particular case. he ex-
planned. his successful opponent
did not hit me with anything
except what l provided him
with
II simply beat myself, that's
all there is TO it, he unused. II
thought l was doing all right
here in Congress and / wasn't
very worried about the election.
But l found out the voters back
home thought otherwise.
What happened to him. he
said, can happen to any other
Congressman.
THE people think of Congress
collectively, and whatever con-
clusion they reach, they vote
upon their own representative
individually" he commented.
MANY do not like Leon Hender-
son. They cannot vote against
him, but they can vote against
the Congressman.
IF you 60 home and they see
you while Congress is in session,
they get sore at you because you
aren't back il Washington look
ing after their interests" he said.
But if you stay j" Washington
all the time, the voters get the
idea you have gone high-hat and
forgotten them and decide it's
time to make change"
One of Patrick's own jokes,
told during local radio pro-
gram On which he appeared reg
ularly. backfired on him in his
election campaign.
"One day I said over the
radio. right here in Washington,
something to the effect that you
know how it is with Congress
men, we vote bill out today
and the, buy a paper tomorrow
tn see what il was" he recalled,
"and thought it was . pretty
clever joke"
His constituents thought 9TH
erwise, he added, after his op-
ponent, John Newsome, played
recording of it all over the
district where the voters could
hear it.
1T didn't sound a bit clever
them" he laughed. But I have
no kick coming. It's little things
like that that turn out to be
pretty big in an election, and you
can blame only yourself for
them"

BRITISH, GERMAN
 ARTILLERY DUEL
Gen. MontgOmery's Army Masses to Push on
 Through Libya

Cairo, Dec. 2.-(UP)-British and German artillery dueled on the Fl Aghelia line in Libya today as the British Eighth Army massed for a renewal of its drive through Libya toward Tunisia, ATS miles to the west.
 Advanced forces of the British Eighth Army were thrusting into the German lines, anchored on the Gulf of Sirte, feeling out their strength and the disposition of the German Afrika Korps to make a determined stand.
 Opening of artillery fire meant the start of the second phase. and it was expected here that the bomb ardment would grow progressively heavier until Gen. Sir Bernard Montgomery ordered his men to ad- vance.
 The middle eastern communique announced raids by allied planes of Bizerte and Tunis, in Tunisia, and Trapani, Sicily. Big fires were started at Trapani. it said.
 In air combat over the battle area, limited by bad weather, Allied planes shot down three enemy fight CTS.
 Twin engined fighters sank fully laden Axis merchantmen, bound for Africa. off the Tunisia east coast, the communique said, and fighter bombers in raids on Sicilian air dromes scored hits on buildings.
 Three British planes were missing from all operations.

John Maloney, s2 Laurel street, and Anthony Muccino, 652 Baldwin street. were slated for appointment to the fire department at the meet ing of the board of fire commits sioners this afternoon, along with the six men named yesterday in an exclusive story in The Democrat.
 The men ramed yesterday in. clude: James Shea of Luke street, John Scadden of Harpcrs Ferry road, James J. Gladney of Baldwin street, Michael Caputo of Oak street, George Traver of Orange street, and Thomas Murphy of Piedmont street.
 It was expected that the board would appoint between 20 and 25 men, all members of the auxiliary force, 10 of whom will assume reg ular positions now, while the others will h.e used as substitutes.
 The understanding is that all members will accept the positions for the duration of the war, and that those regulars now in the upon their return. How:ver, the men armed forces will be reinstated now appointed will be given prefer ence in the event of resignations and deaths.
 The appointments come as an an- fswer to protests voiced recently by various board members against trucks going out to fires in an un- dermanned condition

FUEL ALLOWANCE
 AWAITS TRUCKERS
Operators to Be AccOmmo- dated Pending Receipt of
 ODT Certificates

Truckers who have filed gasoline rationing certificates but have not yet received ODT certificates of necessity may obtain temporary ra- tions at the ration hearquarters, ac- cording to an announcement made by James E. Mcknight, local gaso- line rationing administrator, It is estimated that only 25 per cent of the city's truckers have received certifatecs from the ODT.
 Several hundred commercial car owners applied for gasoline allot- ment yesterday, the administrator stated. Hours at the headquarters at 1l9 West Main street are from 9:30 a. m. to 4:30 p. m.
 Temporary allotments made to truckers will be deducted from the gallonage allowed when the ODT certificates are obtained. The special allotments are compiled to allow the truckers sufficient gasoline for tht period through Dec. 3l.
 Car owners who have not yet sur. rendered sixth" tires have unti December 12 to do so, according tC an extension granted by the state OPA office. A rush was experienced at the Railway Express agency on Monday night, originally scheduled as the last time for turning in idle passenger car tires.

Postal Receipts Register Gain In Past Month

Postal receipts for November were S5,O52.64 greater than they were for the same month in 1941, according to a monthly report made by Postmaster Charles A. Babin. A large increase in the sale of stamps is credited for the gain.
 Statistics reveal that cancella- tions last month totaled 1,O15,SS6 as compared to 9SO,560 a year ago, or an increase of 35,336.
 A decrease in the parcel post tlispatchments by IS was noted while the figure for parcel post shipments received is 2,195 less than in the preceding year.
 It Is believed that the decrease in parcel post business is due to curtailment of shipments by vari- Ous industrial plants.
 Permit matter shows a decrease by 19,32S, the report shows.

Beveridge Plan Has
 Favorable Reception
Provinces Like Idea for Social Security Reform After
 War-CalIed "New Magma Carta'

system of insurance against un- employment, illness, accidents, want in old age, and the financial straits of newly-weds and new parents. There would be a universal old age persion of $8 per week.
 The Beveridge Plan virtually would abolish the privately owned indus trial insurance system in England, Sir Joseph Burn, President of the Prudential Assurance Concern which is expected to oppose the proposals, said that "a great many practical things must be considered before any comment can be made"
 Official comment generally was reserved, because much time would be required to read the report, which contained 100000 words-the equiv alent of three full length novels. Edgar Granville, member of Com mons, said however that the report was "a great scheme amounting to socia Revolution" and that there must be no side stepping or solving of the great reform by 'reactionary ministers or vested interests"
 The London News-C Chronicle said the plan was something for which the British people had been waiting and that it offered immense pro. gress in a simple, easily operated omviously just form"
 The Daily Worker, Communist or gan, endorsed the report but added that it leaves quite untouched pri- vate ownership and production and the power of big capitalist monop- olies-the basic cause of economic crises, unemployment and poverty '
 The Financial Times expressed concern over the cost of the pro- posals, observing that prudence dic- tates that such extensive commit ments should not be made until the future is clearer
 Typical comment from the news papers in the industrial cities in the provinces was that of the Yorkshire Observer:
 "The broad outlines of the scheme are based on principles which most people who have thought at all on the subject would accept as sound
 We hope said the East Anglian Daily Times, That the main pro- posals will give every citizen that freedom from want, fear and in- security which alone can enable him to play part !n winning peace and plenty"
 Beveridge. in presenting the plan yesterday, conceded that his sugges- tions were revolutionary but it iS a British revolution" and would make it possible for the nation "tc abolish want after the war without going Bolshevist"
 The proposals were drafted al government request, with commit tee of expert civil employes assisting Bever:dge, a leading economist who has drawn up numerous reform plans since 1909, when labor eX- changes were set up after he made a survey of unemployment for Prime Minister Winston Churchill. whc was then president of the board oi trade.
 Many recommendation of the Beveridge report were similar to the provisions of Social Security laws enacted in America under the pres ent administration.

LAPS SEEKING
 REINFORCEMENT
Allied Forces Trying to Break Buna=GOne Line
 Before They Arrive
By BYRDON TAVES

Gen. MacArthur's Headquarters, Australia, Dec. D. (UP) = Allied forces in the Buna- Coma sector of New Guinea sought today to crack strong but not deep Japanese de- lenses before the enemy could land aadditijonal supplies and reinforce ments throughm an American bomber screen.
 Japanese destroyers, bombed sev- eral times yesterday south of Arawe, New Britain, still were headed for Buna when last re- ported.
 General MacArthur's spokesman summarized the situation thus:
 The Japanese had been driven back to the sea along front roughly ten miles long-a beach, head squeezed to an average depth of three-quarters of mile. How ever, the terrain presented dificul- ties, particularly swamps which. not detectable from the air, forced the Australian and American ground troops to attack along nar- row causeways.
 The Japanese concealed their main defense positions cleverly, astride the causeways. Thus in- stead of an uninterrupted front there were four distinct points of resistance isolated baechheads- with Allied columns prodding them each unable to support the other.
 Some attacking units suffered se- we're casualties.
 Australian troops had driven to the beach southeast of Gona. Else where Allied columns were attack ing through Cape Endaiaadere. south of Buna, and at the air strip with in 1900 yards of Buna. A joint Australian American or c e was within a short distance of Sanan- nda, on the bech between Buna and the Australian group moving to- ward Sanananda from the Gona area.
 The Japanese were relying mostly on automatic weapons and mortar fire. Shipping. prevalnet earlier in the drive, apparently had dimin- ished.
 The Allies, lacking command of the seas between New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, still were forced to bring up fresh troops and supplies by air.
 MacArthur's air forces operated in direct support of ground units. One enemy dive bomber and two fighters were shot down yesterday. Hudson bombers. just after mid night, attacked the Buna Mission area, followed by planes of other types at intervals of a few hours.
 The Japanese. in risking the four destroyers sighted below Akume, were making their sixth attempt since November to rein- force their beleaguered Buna gar- rison.
 There were reports also that Japanese submarines were moving toward Buna, and 1t was indicated that the enemy might make the first attempt of the war to trans port endorsements and supplies by U-boat. Flying Fortresses re- ported that on Saturday a number of submarines, sighted between New Guinea and New Britain, crash-diyed speedily.

Numerous complaints Concerning Violations
 Received In Hartford
Pedestrians on Highways Urged to Place White Bands on Sleeves at Night Time-Casualty List
 Being Prepared

lated from coastal areas where such regulations have been in effect for some months, safety officials of the state were able to report Tuesday that dimout driving increases dan- ger and calls for much more cau- tion by both motorist and pedes- trian.
 Consideration is being given to a suggestion that all who have occa- sion to walk along roads or cross streets at night be asked to tie a handkerchief or white armband on their arm to help protect them from injury or death. Headlights will not throw their beams so far ahead with half the lens blacked out and a bit of white worn by a pedestrian will help to disclose his presence ahead of a car. Meantime every motorist is being urged to cut speed and avoid having a death on his driving record.
 William M. Greene, director of the safety division of the Motor Vehicles Department, said Tuesday Light that the full picture of the motor vehicle accident. situation shows improvement on the basis of latest figures being studied. These are the statistics for November. The urgence of slower driving and the advisability of it out of tire and gas consideration appear to have brought a reduction in pedestrian fatalities and particularly in deaths of occupants of cars involved in crashes, Mir. Greene said.
 Fresh in the minds of newspaper readers. he said, is the series of pedestrian fatalities during Thanks giving week when at least seven such deaths were reported. Such a series comes now and then as a furry, he said, even at time when special efforts are being made to promote safety. Flurries do not tell a true picture, he added, and it is only the period by period record which can be compared with pre- ceding and with previous year per- iod records that shows whether im- provement is being made.
 This state, MT. Greene said, is now gathering and studying acci- dent reports from the dimout area along the coast and an announce ment of findings will be made later. From New York unofflcial reports have been made tending to show that dimout brings more accidents, he said.
