INDUSTRIAL SCRAP
 DRIVE IS DOOMED
Nelson Calls on Press to Aid Factories; Knibbs
 Directs Local Effort

Stating that the nation was all ready indebted to the newspapers for their successful, scrap campaign, Donald M Nelson, chairman of the war production board, asked that the newspapers make every effort to increase the amount of industrial scrap being salvaged, in a telegram to The Democrat this morning. Nell son wired that more industrial scrap is essential to solve the nations winter supply problem.
 Carroll Knibbs of Middlebury, of the Amercan Brass Co, is chair man of the industrial salvage execu- tive committee of the industrial salvage section, conservation divi- sion of the War Production Board. MT. Knibbs stated yesterday that his committee had been working on the problem of salvaging industrial scrap since April, but now that the metal has become so vital to our war effort, they are redoubling eff forts to make scrap available.
 The rule which industry has been asked to follow in determining whether or not machinery is scrap is Eff 1t hasn't been used for six months, and you are certain it won't be for the next six, sell it or scrap it." The presidents and managers of firms are being asked to gc through the factories themselves to check on what may be scrap, ever though the company already has a scrap committee.
 The text of MT. Nelson's telegram to this paper follows:
 I feel that the nation owes the newspapers debt of thanks for tht inavaluable service they have ren- dered through the newspaper. united scrap metal drive. I am re- luctant to call on you further al this time. The results of the news. papers campaign, however, have beer so great and more industrial scraI is SO essential to solve the nation!

JAP SUB BASE
 IN KISKA RAIDED
U. s. Army Bombers Make Two Attacks; No Enemy
 Planes Seen

Washington, Oct. 27 - (U.P0 - Army bombers blasted at the Jap anese submarine base at KiSka in two raids on the enemy's sole posi- ton in the Aleutians, the Navy an- nounced today.
 These latest attacks occurred on October 23 and 24. They were op- posed by active anti aircraft fire but no enemy planes were seen.
 Although the Navy previously has mentioned the presence of Japanese undersea craft in Kiska harbor. this was the first time it had called it 8 submarine base'.
 Text of Navy communique No. 17O follows:
 North Pacific:
 q. On October g, Army 'liber- ator' bombers, accompanied by Lockheed Lightning fighters, drop ped IS tons of bombs on the camp area and submarine base at Kiska.
 "2. On October 24, Army flying fortresses' raided Kiska and drop ped bombs in the vicinity of the submarine base.
 "S. During the above raids Jap anese anti-aircraft shore batteries were active, but no enemy planes were seen. A number of hits in the target areas were observed, but the extent of damage could not be de- termined."
 This was the first announcement of action in the Aleutians since Oc- tober 20, when the Navy reported that on October IS Army hberators dropped 12 tons of bombs on the Kiska camp area and harbor.
 This was the first time in weeks that enemy anti-aircraft displayed much activity. Previous communi- uues mentioned only moderate or weak anti-aircraft gunfire.
 In both the recent raids four engined bombers were used. In the october g action, the Consolidated ls-24 craft carried the attack. The next dAy the Boeing BITS were called upon to do the 1oh.

SOCIALISTS TO SEEKPLACEON 1942 BALLOTS Aandamas Action for Res- tOratiOn of Names Filed
 Today JUDGE O'SULLIVAN TO
 DECIDE ON ACTION Claim Party Has Had Can= didates Continuously
 Since 1910

Hartford, Conn, October 27 = (UP) = A mandamus action was filed in superior court today, demanding that the Secretary of State re- store to the November ballot the names of 26 Socialist can didates for Congress and the General Assembly. Hearing on the writ was assigned for 2 p. m., today before Judge P. B. O'Sullivan.
 The action was brought by James Mccarthy and Edward Michonski, candidates for state representative from Norwich, and Stephen Nemeth, candidate for state representative from Fairfield.
 They claimed that the Socialist party had been represented on the ballos continuously since 1910 and that they had been duly nominated and the secretary duly notified of the nominations.
 Furthermore the writ contended that the party had candidates for all statR offices in 1940 and had polled more than one-half of one percent of the total vote a requisite for appDarance on the ballot in an en- suing election.
 The secretary, Mrs. Chase Going Woodhouse, threw out the candt- dates several weeks ago for alleged failure to comply with the election law requirements.
 If the names "are not placed on the ballots and ballot labels" the writ charged, "they will be deprived of the right to be placed thereon as the duly qualified and nominated candidates of the Socialist party and the electors of the State of Connec- ticut. will be deprived of the opportunity of casting their votes for them"
 The rejected candidates asked that due and speedy justice may be done, and that ''it is required and enjoined of you that you place the names of the realtors and other

American Allies Get Boasts,

Russia, China Suffer at Our InactiOn WilIkie
 Claims on Radio

By LYLE c. WILSON
 United Press Staff Correspondent

New York, Oct. 27.-(UP)-Presi- dent Roosevelt's conduct of the war was under fire today from Wendell L. Willkie, who charged that our superb fighting Allies" are getting boasts and promises instead of help.
 Willkie's complaints were largely in behalf of Soviet Russia and China. He said American diplomats should be appointed "who are big enough in their own right to dare to tell our President the truth"
 An enormous radio audience last night heard the 1940 Republican presidential nominee report to the people upon his 49-day flight around the world. Four national chains broadcast his speech over facilities rarely matched for other than pres idential utterances.
 Willkie reiterated his plea for 8 second front in Europe and for dis patch of forces to India for all-out attack on Burma to relieve, respec- lively, the embattled Russians and Chinese. Then he went consider ably further than that.
 He argued that we are fighting not merely our enemies but for a new world idea, & new freedom which will see the orderly abolition of the colonial system and for a new society, worldwide in scope. That new world he said, would be free alike of the economic injus- tices of the west and of the poli- tical malpractices of the east. He said the people he visited were looking to partnership with us in realizing those aspirations.
 "Our western world and our pre- stunned supremacy are now on trial" he said. "Our boasting and our big talk leave Asia cold"
 Willkie disassociated himself en- tirely from any official connections He said the tour was his own idea that MT. Roosevelt had asked him to undertake certain unspecified tasks which he had agreed to do, but that he was free agent. He travelled in a government airplane without charge, but he paid his own

ready to approve the $15O increase. Now, however, the board has re- turned to a percentage basis.
 Firemen had been particularly strenuous in their objection to the plan of flat raise of $50 year for all city workers. The smoke eaters, who had been seeking 8 raise of $1 a day, or $365 year, made it plain that they would not accept the sum mentioned yesterday. In fact, 8 special committee to enter a protest was formed.
 The outburst which followed the disclosure in The Democrat yester- day of the plan to give flat in crease of $50, whatever the present salary led administration leaders to change their plans at once. Pro- tests by telephone and in person were received last night and this morning by members of Finance Board and by other members of the administration. They were so en- phatic that a change in the raise plan was decided on as necessary.
 Under the plan now slated for ap- proval, all city employees would get at least a straight 10 per cent in- crease to meet the current higher living costs. Those in the lower brackets, whose benefits would not be SO great, would get larger pro- portionate increase.

 Good Job for State

Hartford, Conn.,, Oct. 27-(UP)- Gov. Hurley charged today the statement by Raymond E. Baldwin, Republican candidate for governor, that no new industries have been brought into Connecticut within the past two years was 'unfounded.'
 The governor said the Connecticut war industries commission, which was set up to gain war contracts for small business in the state, has done good job.
 eff MT. Baldwin had read the newspapers as recently as last week." Gov. Hurley said, "he would have seen the details of a report submitted to me by the commission showing not only to what extent we have succeeded in bringing new business into the state, eSpeci- ally for our smaller plants, but also how we succeeded in converting non-war plants to war production" {"
 Baldwin, speaking at East Hart ford, called for a better equaliza- tion of educational opportunity in the state and guaranteed teach CTS retirement fund.
 Mayor Jasper McLevy of Bridge port, Socialist gubernatorial can didate, spoke at a New Haven rally and attacked "a few men who cloaked in the garments of or ganized labor are the wretched stooges of the Democratic political machine"
 "These men," he said, falsely pretend to speak for labor, arro- gantly demand that the votes ot American labor and all others with independent views, shall be put in a political concentration camp ir order that this may be a one-way election"

 There were no reports indicating that Marshal Erwin Rommel had yet brought up his main main tank forces or that any effective counter attacks had been launched. How ever, the German forces were fight ing stubbornly from their prepared positions.
 Allied artillery was playing an im- portant part ill the desert offensive and infantry forces, particularly in night attacks, were hopping up one Axis position after another.
 Planes Take Part
 .Untied States Army headquarters reported that desert air task planes of the Army were engaging in large scale operations" in the battle area.
 "Our heavy bombers," said the communique, struck Axis shipping conveys in the Mediterranean. Fighters of one patrol engaged and shot down four Macchi 202's. Other missions included successful attacks by fighter bombers on enemy land- ing grounds and bomber escort mis- sions."
 The combined aerial offensive was proceeding night and day, blasting the Afrika KorpS' troops and sup ply concentrations and demonstrat- ing the clear superiority of the AL lied Air Forces: A communique is- sued jointly by the Royal Air Force and the British Middle East Com mand reported that 18 more Axis planes had been shot down over the desert and three more destroyed over Malta.
