ing that all places on the Democratic ticket are not decided. There may be no contests for places, but there will be at least two new faces on the ticket, candidates for State Treasurer and At torney General.
 It goes without saying, though, that renomination of Gov Robert A. Hur- ley will occasion a greater ovation than any produced last week by Republicans. The Democratic governor who has guided the state so successfully through the early days of the war has become popu- lar not merely with his party but with all men in Connecticut. His stature has increased tremendously since that day in September of 1940 when he was elevated into first place in the Demo cratic Party.
 The Robert A. Hurley of 1922 may have to overcome many difficulties in being reelected, but he well merits the honor of being returned to office for second term. He has proved to be capable, sincere, earnest, hard-working public official. He has not made his office the political cats-paw that few COP SpokeSmen endeavored to claim he had. Any fair-minded person would admit that the war effort of the entire state has come first with him and cer- tainly a pretty good job of administra- tion has been done.
 The Democrats have no cause to feel alarmed over their prospects in Novem- ber With the governor heading the ticket and with capable support from fellow candidates they can continue the good work begun in January of 1942.

False Alarm

New Yorks rather mortifying experi- ence, arising from a short-lived air raid alarm, should cause other communities to re-examine their setups. Like many other cities, New York was proud of her organization Practice blackouts, in- cluding Surprise events, had gone off well. Then came what seemed to be the real thing, in the early morning hours and all was confusion.
 The main master siren never was blown; the alert ended before the re- sponsible fireman decided to break in a door that stuck and baked him. Many street lights never were put out. Laugh at New York if you will. But we won- der what would happen if we had an alarm without advance warning

A Thought for Today
A Bit of Glamour

The nomination of Clare Booth Luce as the Republican candidate for Congress in the Fourth District climaxeS cam paign that has been embelliShed in Sev- eral different ways. The keeneSt rival that Mrs. Luce had in the fight which ended in her nomination yesterday was Vivian KellemS, also successful in her own right as business woman. But the handwriting on the wall was un- mistakable and when the balloting was reached yesterday the field was left to Mrs. Luce.
 All of which is just another indica- tion of the strength that the Republi- can leaders are bringing to bear in drawing up their 1922 ticket. Fairfield County, which comprises the Fourth Congressional District, is the home ter ritory of State Chairman J. Kenneth Bradley. He was for Mrs. Luce from the very outset even when it appeared that she might not be willing to devote the time and effort to campaign. Her selection as keynoter for the state con- vention definitely assured her nomina- ation.
 There have been attempts frequently to capitalize on the metropolitan in- fluence in Fairfield County. Two years ago it was Ely Culbertson who made the effort He tried for the Democratic congressional nomination, but a more prosaic opponent in Leroy Downs, mere newspaper publisher as compared to MT. CulbertSon's fame as a bridge expert and writer, was the eventual nom- inee and successful candidate. And there have been others mentioned, too, for office in Fairfield County
 It remains to be seen whether Mrs. Luce can bridge the gap that seems to constitute handihap to election to high office from among the county'S coSmopoliteS.

Connecticut or for that matter any Eastern state which has enjoyed @ gasoline rationing will more than well come the announcement that the coupon system will probably spread all over the United States shortly. Whether you take the misery-loves company attitude or have always argued that gasoline rationing should be nationwide you can't get away from the fact that where one section of the nation was obliged to scrimp on gasoline there would be nothing gained unless the entire coun- try went on similar reduced gasoline budget. It's rather hard, to be sure, for the man who knows there are unlimited supplies of gasoline close by his home or place of business to agree to use limit ed supply of fuel. But unless the na- tion accepts every hardship and every re- striction on general scale there just isn't sense to any privation A war must be won and only can be won with united et- fort which also involves united accept ance of all the sorrows and little upsetS that go with it.

While the citys civilian defense set-up has managed to get through the summer months with a minimum of response from the general public there is no re- assurance that the fall and winter months will bring relief for those who are giving so unsparingly of their time and efforts This is the time when volunteers should make their appearance ard prepare for long siege of perhaps tiresome, but never. theless essential war work. The job o1 the person who stays at home never seems as interesting as that of the man or wo- man in the thick of the fighting or where there is intense activity. But the home front must be maintained even though it's miles from the war front.

War Calls for Sacrifice

The substance of President Roose- velt'S anti-inflation recommendations to Congress will be approved by all except a few professional Headers of farm and labor groups. The American people have made it abundantly clear that they are willing to pay the necessary price to win this war, and the peace that will fol- low. Wage control and price control make bitter medicine, but our people can and will take it.
 Imitation cannot be halted, short of disaster, unless the ceilings now placed upon everything else shall be extended to wages and to the price of farm products. Labor and farmers are both patriotic enough and intelligent enough to bow to the inevitable Throughout his message to Congress and his radio talk to the public, MT. Roosevelt reiter- ated the interdependency of farm prices and labor's wages. To restrain one, and permit the other to burgeon unchecked, would be rankest diScrim- ination.
 But-and this would seem to be major weakness in MT. Roosevelt's be- lated attack of toughnesS about in- flation-the President did not ask Con- gresS to do anything about wages. You fellows fix ceiling for the farmers, Sald he, in effect, land trust me to see that corresponding roof is put over wages"
 Having in mind great many things that have happened in Washington of late years, many congressmen-inclu
 ing at least some New Deal Democrats --do not care for this dicision of the task. It is their duty to face the electorate in November. There is, of course, nothing to prevent Congress from going Deyonu MT. RooSevelt'S explicit demaEa and legislating on both wages and farm prices at the same time. That would be smart politics as well as sound econ- onicS. The important thing is that Congress should act.
 Members first reaction, naturally enough, was indignation at the sudden harshness of the message; at the "gun held to Congress head"; at MT. Roose- velt's sudden impatience five months and il days after his original presenta- tion of model seven-point program. But this is too vital an emergency for con- Rressional action to be dictated by re- sentiment. Although we can sympathize with those who have been angered, we could not condone their failure if, be- cause of pique, our congressman fail now 70 take the action necessary to save tho country from disastrous inflatlon.

Views Of The Press

praying will come their way. There was some talk of banning the over sentimental, the frankly gushy num- bers, but when it came to differen- tiating between real sentiment and 'sickly rot even hte song critics were up stump. Apparently there was no criterion. Curiously, too, some of the supposedly hardened critics had secret passion for the raw, the over worked and often unmelodious "sob song". Strains that were taunt- ing to some drove others mad. Tunes were lively and gay, religious, sad or were carried along on the moth CT or "baby mine" theme. There wasn't a real hit among them. There wasn't a refrain that could stand alone for longer than few weeks.
 It is reasonable to expect to hear the song of songs one of these days. Irving Berlin may or may not be it's composer. More likely the song will fall from the lips of lonely Com- mando or from a war worker stand- ing over a machine. Whoever pulls 1t out will be doing all of us a seF- vice,

faced in Holland, France and Belgium.
 Greek-Americans were too polite to mention it, but many of them were not very happy about the Donovan Committees idea of bringing King George of Greece to this country.
 They charge that King George represents the Fascist party in Greece, that he has jailed the relatives of many Greek-Ameri- cans, that he represents 3 re- gime not in sympathy with the Atlantic Charter, and that the German Italian military have freed mere Greek political pris- oners than King George ever did.
 The visit of the King brought out the factional fight which exists among Greek-Americans. Younger Greeks, especially those born in the United States, have been 100 per cent pro-democracy, end 100 per cent behind the At lantic Charter. Some of the older Greeks, especially those still in touch with the Greek Government have leaned toward the Fascist regime.
 At one time this latter group, led by the Greek legation in Wash ington, tried to organize unit inside the United States loyal to Greece, not to this government, but was soundly squelched by the yonger Greeks.
 The issue comes to 8 head this week at Atlanta, Ga., where the Ahepa, leading US-Greek organi- zation of which President Roose- welt is a member, meets in Ila- tional convention. Administration ties in Washington are watching the situation carefully, hope the younger Greek-Americans will win out.

Selected Poem

ITO HEAR-AGAIN" (By Carol Marjorie Jee in the Boston Post) Iris though the quietus of night, Has suddenly burst into light; And I can hear the joyous sounds That hitherto have bound
 My liie What wonders of the world compare With new friends find everywhere; My staid clock upon the wall, Its music I've never heard at all
 Beforel I've seen the birds go winging by, Flashing their brilliant colors, but Til now could neer describe Their golden trtlls that soar and glide
 My symphonyl Oh. could write for days and days, And fall 10 adequately express the way The world has flung wide ite silent door And ushered in the beauteous rhythm of sound,
 To me. who could not heari
