MRS. ROOSEVELT
 TO VISIT LONDON
tcontinued from Page 1)

Princes Elizabeth and Margaret Rose probably will come to London from the country to meet Mrs. Roos- evelt and perhaps have lunch with her.
 The British press continued to play up Mrs. RooSevelt's visit, which she will make unofficially in return for the visit the royal family paid MT. and Mrs. Roosevelt in 1889.
 Old Picture Published
 The Daily Mail published pie ture of Mrs. Roosevelt made when she attended Mime. Marie Souves- tres finishing school at Wimbledon in 1902. It showed her wearing a boater hat. a shirt waist with a large bow tie and a dark skirt drawn in tightly at the waist in hour-glass style.
 Mrs. Roosevelt was known as "Totty" then, according to a school mate, Miss Helen Clifford, now a gray haired principal of a girls school in Gotham, Surrey.
 "She was a brilliant little girl" Miss Clifford said. T hope she will not be too busy to call here. We would love to see her."
 The desk used by Mrs. Roosevelt at the finishing school still bears an linked inscription across the top:
 "Totty Roosevelt, summer term, 1902!
 The headmistress at Madam Sou- vestre's recalled "Totty" as the most serious girl in the class, but said that even then she had place in her heart for Franklin Roosevelt. by keeping his picture on her dressing table.
 T remember the day she arrived at school" the head mistress said. "She was so very much more grown up than we were. At the first meal when we hardly dared open our mouths, she sat opposite Madam Souvestre chatting away in French. We admired her courage"

And, he added, we must fight suspicion of those who bear the responsibility for high decisions.
 Making a plea for American par ticipation in the world order after the war is over, Senator Barkley said:
 We cannot again delude our- selves the belief that we are inn mune from the storms that rage all around us. When this was is over, statesmanship will be bankrupt in deed, if it cannot fabricate out of the experiences through which we are now passing, practical and ef- fectual method by which to curb the brutal and rampant aggressors and by which to adjust peacefully such natural and obvious contro- versies as may arise"
 President Alfred c. Fuller, in an annual report, said "one of the miracles of the war is the manner in which Connecticut industry. without undue dislocations, has raised its army of industrial work CTS from less than 100000 to over half million in less than two years"
 Directors elected include w. R. Jennings, Chester; F. I. Newton, New Haven; H. B. Curtis, Bridge port; and Frank H. Lee, Danbury.

that "the effects of the proposed amendment will be destructive rather than constructive"
 T am convinced that any attempt to control the liquor problem through legislation applied exclusive ly to military personnel will only impede the progress now being made in our own effective methods of at- taining temperance" he said.
 He added that 1t would impose upon us the difficult problem of combating bootleg operations, and would seriously undermine morale"
 Stimson said temperance among soldiers lis obtained by the appli- cation of practical and tolerant measures, from education, super vision, and restriction, rather than from flat prohibition, and de- clared that the restricted sale of beer on military reservations "fa- cilitates self-control and discour- ages excesses."
 War Department regulations pro- hibit the sale of intoxicating liquors on any premises used for military purposes, Wine ana 3.2 peer IS not deemed intoxicating and the sale of 1t is allowed at post exchanges where staet law permits. Even those beverages are prohibited in army posts in dry states.
 Possession of liquor purchased outside the post and carried in, either by officers or enlisted men, Is governed by regulations estab- lished from time to time by local post committees.
 Lees amendment fololws closely a bill originally introduced in the Senate by the late Sen. Morris Shep- pard, D., Texas. father of the 18th amendment. It prohibits the sale or possession of liquor - includ- ing beer, ale and wine-on the premises of a military or naval in- stallations or within such reason- able distance as the Secretary of War Cor Navy) shall determine to be needful to the efficiency, health, and welfare of the Army and Navy"

any major campaigning on behalf of its candidates for the senate and the house at Hartford. The con- gressional campaign, though three sided fight, has been listless, and the state campaign has as yet touched Waterbury very little.
 The pessimistic figures on the total vote are based on several fac- tors. One reason advanced is the fact that several thousand men have left the city to enter the mill itary service. Another is the fact that transportation to the polls will be more difficult. A third is the claim that the people are too pre- occupied with their work and with the war to get excited over an elec- tion. And, of course, there is the basic argument that the local parties have been doing little to arouse popular interest.
 Republicans figure, and appar- ently on justifiable grounds, that a light vote will aid their cause. That has been the case in the past. at least. Democrats den this claim, but there is no question about their worry over the vote.

 10000 on Strike
 About 10000 railroad men were on strike at the height of this pro- test last weekend, 1t was reported.
 The workers were said to have ignored a law promulgated by Pe- tain last year outlawing all strikes with penalties of severe punishment,
 The Vichy government, 1t was said, despite the growing opposi- ton was still unwilling to use force to draft labor although it was un- derstood that if Vichy's effort failed the Germans would apply forcible seizure of workers to get manpower for their war factories.
 Thus far, 1t was estimated, not more than 25,000 of the quota of 150o00 workers has been rounded up.
 The principal centers of railroad unrest were said to have been Peri queuz, Limoges, Toulouse, Marseil- les, Grenoble, Chambery, and Cler- mont -Feyrand.
 Strikes also broke out in the Ber- liet truck factories near Benissieux. These plants are turning out 1000 trucks a month for Germany.
 Other plants affected were the Reocher Schneider truck factory, the Berliet branch at Monplaisir, the Acieries Du Rhone Steel Works, the Longy Steel Works, the Boyle factories at Lyon. and the Sigma and Somua Works at Lyon.

 Senator Lister Hill, D., Ala, ob- served that Marshall, Admiral Err nest J. King, Chief of Naval Oper- ations, and Secretary of War Henry l.. Stimson emphatically supported the pending bill as absolutely es- sential to insure the downfall of the Axis.
 Lee sought to introduce his amendment formally while Gurney was speaking but the South Dako- tan refused to permit Lee to do so,
 Navy opposition to the amend- ment was revealed by Chairman Da- vid I. Walsh, D., Mass, of the Sem ate Naval Affairs Committee, after a telephone conversation with Sec retary of Navy Frank Knox.
 T talked to the secretary of the navy this morning and asked his po- sition," Walsh said. He stated that the Navy was in full accord with the views of the secretary of war"
 Walsh said he expected to receive a letter from Knox during the day.
 Although there were reports of an impending effort to postpone the prohibition fight by agreeing to fu- ture consideration of a separate bill Senate Democratic Leader Alben w. Barkley of Kentucky said he knew nothing of such move.
 T expect nature will take its course" he said.
 Barkley's comment indicated he expected Lee to press for adoption of his amendment despite the an- nounced opposition of both Knox and Secretary of War Henry L., StimSon.
 Interfere With Army
 The latter charged the ban would interfere with the arny's effective methods of attaining temperance" and would impose upon the army the job of enforcing prohibition in Metropolitan areas, such as New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco" and all other areas ad- jacent to army camps,
 Lee said, he would answer Stim- sons statement from the floor.
 Senators reported heavy vol tune of mail and telegrams from both sides of the wet-dry question. Several reported that their corre- spondents seemed about equally di- vided on Lees amendment.
 Administration leaders concede that the amendment will pass If Lee forces a roll call vote.

Newark, NJ. J., Oct. 22.-(UP) The dinner was supposed to be a testimonial to a retiring police lieu tenant. He was heckled when he got up to make a speech, Why don't you get the hell out?" An other policeman suffered heart attack and still another set off a string of firecrackers. The way the testimonial turned out was blamed on resentment against John B. Keenan, director of public safety. Keenan said he wouldn't discipline the guests. "A cops got rights too"

 The extent of the new Allied air operations in Africa was indicated by a Rome claim that 67 Allied planes have been shot down in the past two days.
 The Russians reported that they were striking back strongly against the Germans, aided by continuation of bad weather on the Stalingrad front. Snow was reported in the Stalingrad area and icy winds which were said to have brought the NaZig to an acute stage of exhaustion.
 Russia Hits Hard
 Marshal Semyon Timoshenko's forces, driving through the first bliz- gard of winter on the desolate steppes northwest of Stalingrad, captured an important hill today and penetrated the second German defense line, battlefront dispatches said.
 The Soviet noon communique, not mentioning great advance, said that Timoshenko's men had stormed into enemy trenches and killed 200 Germans in hand to hand battle.
 Snow now was drifting on the SteppeS northwest of Stalingrad, frontline dispatches said. Normally the blizzards that roar over the Steppes, which are among the cold est areas in Russia, do not begin until late November.
 The road inside Stalingrad had been turned into bogs by days of continual rain. A bitter wind, whip ping across the Volga. numbed the Germans whose attacks against an industrial sector in northwestern Stalingrad were becoming weaker and weaker.
 Red Star, the Soviet army organ, said the Germans were nearing ex- haustion at Stalingrad, and had only enough strength left to attack on narrow sectors, one at a time.
 Anther reSounding Russian suc- cess was reported from the western Caucasus. There, after 10 days of hard fighting. the Russians had stopped 45.000 Germans trying to break through on a mountain road, and killed at least 4.000 of them.

 He cited foreign estimates that the German command has 200 divi- slons. including those of its satel- lite states, on the Russian front and in occupied regions of Russia, while 1t has only 26 divisions in Belgium, Holland and France and 10 to IS divisions in the Balkans and on the Egyptian front. He in- ferred that @ second front might be opened with comparative ease on either sector.
 He said the vassal states had giv- en Germany 90 divisions, totaling 100000 men, of which l9 are Hun garian divisions, 28 Rumaniafl, 21' Italian and 22 Finnish.
 If the German army is smashed on the Soviet German front" he said, "the war is won."
 Krushkov cited the statement of Premier Josef Stalin concerning the primary importance of a second front, and added:
 Do Not Understand
 However, not everyone in the freedom loving countries under stands. Certain circles in England and the United States do not un- derstand and do not want to under stand the necessity of a quick deci- sion for unified action against Ger many.
 "There exists in England a group of followers of the Munich policy who, under various pretexts, are try ing to prove the inadvisability of opening a European war against Germany.
 "The Munichites are trying to prove that the peoples demand for a second front is a demand by a poorly informed people, It is true that such opinions have been criti- cized by British and Americans.
 However, such opinions are not exceptional and reflect the view point of a people who haven't sur- rendered up to the present to the old and harmful policy of capitu- lation.'"
 Referring to British opponents of the second front, Krushkov said:
 Besides such people as Lady As- tor and Capt. Bernard Acworth, who try to diminish in speeches and articles the importance of the fight which the Soviet Union is waging there are other opponents in Eng land of unified decisive action who conceal their negative attitude with all sorts of motives such as the inpossibility of opening a sec- ond front because of the lack of shipping, an insufficient number of land and shock troops, the unpre- paredEess of commanders, and a lack of air superiority"

shortage in Connecticut, saying:
 "The time to tell us that we have reached our peak in war produc- tion is after we mobilize every available woman worker for war in- dustry, after we have brought office workers and store workers into war plants, after we have combed the large loyal foreign-born population. of which there are thousands of members whose loyalty will stand any test and whose skills and ener- gies can be used in war production" :"
 The governor spoke at the annual meeting of the Connecticut Manu- lecturers Association.
 "Our answer to my friend Paul McNutt, who by the way is doing splendid job in a difficult post, is this: Keep the orders coming in. Connecticut will fill them"
 The war manpower urged concerns placing war orders to avoid Connec- tictit because of the labor shortage.

 72 Hours, No Gain
 More than 72 hours have passed without the Germans making gain. This was the 18th day of the siege of Stalingrad, which the Germans believed they would take six weeks ago. and which Adolf Hitler had promised his people would be taken.
 Tn the Stalingrad area, Soviet unit repulsed an infantry and tank attack and wiped out a company (200 men)," the Soviet noon com munique said. "On another sector, guards mortar-men annihilated about 100 and burned five tanks. A platoon of the enemy'S scouts were killed in mineheldG."
 South of Stalingrad, Soviet scouts killed 70 Germans, the noon com munique reported. Earlier, front line dispatches said the Russians had driven back the Germans two miles in this area.

ALLIED FORCES GATHER

London, Oct. 22.-(UP)-The Lon- don Daily Mail today quoted Madrid reports from Vichy asserting that very large Allied forces have been concentrated north of Lake Chad, presumably for a northward drive across the African desert into Libya. The reports described the Lake Chad concentrations as possibly larger than the British Eighth Army in the western desert.
 The force was said to comprise, for the most part, Americans and fighting French troops. They were said to be equipped with a powerful air force, tanks, guns and tractors capable of crossing the 700 miles oI desert lying between them and Axis objectives in Libya.
 vichy military sources were said to have reported that reconnais- sance columns had been sent into the desert to locate routes for a northward move. The recent attack on Benghazik was said to have been carried out by one of these roviE= columns.
