ALDERMEN WILL
 MEET TOMORROW
Special Session to AIIO- cate Extra Funds for
 Longer Voting Hours

Mayor Vincent A. Scully today summoned a special meeting of the board of aldermen for tomorrow night to take action on allocating funds for extra election expenses caused by tbe extension of voting hours from to 3 D. m. A transfer of as much as $l.500 may be needed.
 The aldermanic meeting is re- quired because of the fact that the election day appropriation provides only enough funds to pay workers for a i2-hour day, from 6 a. m. to 6 D. m. Instead of the fee of s8 paid each of the 300 workers for this period, 1t will be necessary this year to pay SIP. Furthermore. an even- ing meal. in addition to a noon meal, will have to be provided.
 Towns and cities all over the state are faced with the same problem as result of the vote by the General Assembly 10 allow the polls to be open for three hours longer than usual.
 The aldermen tomorrow night will be called on also to increase the pay for workers at the polls. How ever, leaders of both parties have apparently agreed on the si2 figure.

P-4O'S SCORE IN
 DESERT BATTLES
American Flyers Scoring ImpressiveIy Along Wes-
 tern Desert Front

With Advanced Allied Air Forces on the Western Desert. Oct. 26- (UP)-American P-40 fighter planes have scored clean-cut success on the western desert front, shooting down four Axis planes and damag- ing three others in two successive raids.
 The first big haul was made over the Daba Airdrome. where they re- stroyed three enemy fighters and damaged three others, at least one of which probably was destroyed.
 The fourth Axis fighter plane was shot down in flames over another airdrome.
 The victorious American pilots members of the Black Scorpion" squadron-told Of the successful at- tacks on their return to their base when interviewed in the prescense of Maj. Gen. Lewis H. Brereton. commander of U. s. Army Air Forces in the middle east, and Brig. Gen. Aubrey Strickland, head of the U. S. Army Fighter Command.
 The group included Maj. Clement J Wheeler, San Jose, Calf, who destroyed an Italian Macchl.
 Congratulations" Strickland told Wheeler.
 That's grand-I want the squad ron to have a beer on me tonight"
 Capt. Shade Gilby. Skidmore, Mo, sent a MeSserschmitt i09 into spin. then he went to engage q Macchi 202. The craft was last seen spirailing toward the ground.
 It was confirmed later that the Mezerschmltt had been destroyed.
 The fight over the Daba AirdFome began at l6.0O0 feet when i2 P-40's were eseorting a dozen Boston bombers at top cover.
 Down at a lower altitude Wheeler fired a burst at e Macclai and saw pieces fall from It's wing and smoke pour from it.
 That plane was listed as damaged. The one he shot down struck the ground and burst into flames. Capt. Richard x. Ryan. Wooster, Mas. safd.

DEFERRED MEN
 TO BE DRAFTED
Army Will Have to Take Young Men Now in Es-
 SentiaI Industries

Washington, Oct. 26-CUP)-Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey. selective service director, told the Senate military affairs committee today that the army eventually will have to draft young men who are now deferred for work in airplane fac tories, shipyards and other vital war plants.
 Older men, of the type which the army believes will not make as good soldiers, will have to take the places now held by the younger men, he said.
 Hershey. testifying in connection with pending manpower legislation, was told by Sen. Sheridan Downey. D., Calf, that draft boards in his state thought a mistake was being made in present policy under which young, able-bodied men were de- ferred for war jobs.
 Hershey said national selectiye service headquarters also believed this was a mistake and that the problem was how to get the young men out without tearing up the shipyards and plane factories-for out they must come"
 He added that plant managers must use "less restrictive measur. ing stick" in hiring than in the past. He said many manufacturers, for example. were seeking to avoid deal- ing with special problems connected with employment Of women until the last moment.
 The Works Projects AdminIstra- ton. meanwhile, was engaged in re- classification of its 375 900 employes to provide 5000 workers for war industries.

 Seeking a third term in the Nov 3 election, Gov. LeyeFett Saltenstall fR) is opposed by Mayer Roger l.. Putnam of Springfield. who won the Democratic nomination by de- feating Kelly, is6,00O to ii3.0O0. in the primaries.
 Some believe that the RaltnnstalI- Putnam contest might be almost as close as the le40 gubernatorlal bat- tle in which Galtonslall's margin Of victory over Paul A. DeveF iDl was only 6Aea ln total vote of a.06a. .a0a. Thus the injunction of a powerful vote-gesteF like Kelly, as 8 Etieker candidate. might split the vote dlsasir0nely for the Democrats.

COFFEE RATTONINC
 STARTS NOV. 28
One Pound a Person Each Five Weeks to Be
 Allotment
-NEA Teleplloto

Washington, Oct. 26 - (Up) -. Price Administrator Leon Hender- son ordered nationwide rationing of coffee today, effective at midnight on Nov. 28, on the basis of one pound each five weeks-about a cup a oay-for all persons who were Is years of age on or over when they registered for sugar supplies on May 4-5.
 All retail sales of coffee will be frozen at midnight, Nov. q, for the week before rationing begins, to per- init merchants to stock their shelves.
 Henderson said there was no rea- son why anyone should run to the grocer and put the squeeze on him and try to force him to help a hoarder."
 There is absolutely no excuse for hoarding coffee at this time" he emphasized.
 Coffee will be the ninth rationed product. Others are sugar, farm equipment, gasoline. automobiles, tires, bicycles, typewriters. workers rubber boots and rubber shoes.
 Some 93.O0O,O0O persons are elig- ible for coffee rations. Full details of the rationing remain to be work ed out but officials said it would include hotels, restaurants, boarding houses, and all large and small establishments in which coffee is served. They did not anticipate "coffee-less days" but said there was nothing to prevent dispensers of the beverage from adopting them.
 Authorities said privately that they probably would be helpless against hoarders who have accumu- lated coffee stocks or are able to do so before rationing becomes effec- tive. No estimate was available of the probable amount "in hiding"
 Henderson said the rationing date was announced early in order to prevent more confusion and hys- teria than even now exists on the subject of coffee" arising from forthcoming conferences between

General Apathy" May Defeat Connecticut Democrats Nov. 3
Christmas Sales Will. Set Record

Boston, Oct. 26--(UP)-Christ- mas sales will set all-time rec Ords for stores that have not been seriously hit by goods shortages. United Business Service predicted today.
 The service said that aggregate retail inventories are huge and consumers have more money to spend than in any previous period.
 However, the service predicted a gloomy post Christmas prospect for general merchandise concerns because of serious shortages, mar rowing profit margins and burden- some taxation.
 Although the draft. taxes and war savings will retard the rise in 1943 consumer purchasing power, civilian demand should exceed available supplies with the result that shortages will be the basic retailer problem, the service said.

COP. TREND IN
 ELECTION SEEN
Democrats Will Retain Senate; Martin Cautions
 in Predictions
BY LYLE c. WILSON

NCniteu rreSS StaH COrFcSpOnuentD
 New York, Oct. 26-(UP)-The 1922 general election campaign en- ters the final week today with vari- ous samplings of public opinion in- dicating substantial Republican gains in Congress and state offices.
 But the Democrats are certain to retain control of the Senate. Re- publican spokeSmen generally do not claim that the G. O. P. will win the 50-odd additional seats neces- sary to gain control of the House of Representative.
 There appears. however, to be somewhat of a Republican trend. Republican National Committee Chairman Joseph W. Martin. Jr., who also is minority leader of the House, cautiously, predicts sub stantial" gains. Specifically he claims that the Republicans will carry the political Blk Six-Massa- chusetts, New York. Pennsylvania, Ohio. Illinois and California.
 Of those state contests, the most spectacular and potentially impor- tant is being fought in New York where Democratic and Republican party organization has been jared by internal difficulties. Thomas E. Dewey, the gang buster, has the Republican gubernatorial nomina- ton again and looks like a winner. President Roosevelt and the New Deal wing of the party were licked in the August Democratic nomi- mating convention by the forces of James A. Farley. Farley continues

TANKS SMASH
 JAP ASSAULTS
Great Offensive Against GuadaIcanal Underway:
 Fresh Troops Landed
By .SANDOR $. KLEIN United Press Staff COFrespOndent)

Washington, Oct. 2e.-(UP)-The long-eXpected, all out Japanese land offensive to recapture Guadal. canal Island was underway today and the gallant American defend- CTS already had smashed five savage tank and artillery attacks.
 The enemy was landing fresh troops on the northwest tip Of the island.
 That was revealed in a naval communique last night which also disclosed that five enemy warships one possibly a battleship - had been damaged by aerial bombs. The ships were three cruisers, one heavy cruiser or battleship and one destroyer.
 The rushing of reserves to the Guadalcanal front--from an inva- sion fleet that has been concen- trated north of Guadalcanal for two weeks-indicated that the Jap- anese first land attempt to wipe out the Americans foothold had been costly. The Navy made no mention of casualties beyond the destruction of five enemy tanks.
 The latest attacks brought to sev- en the number of times within five days the Japanese have tried to penetrate the west flank of the Americans line. The first two at tacks-"feelers" came last Tuesday and Wednesday Solomon Islands time). Then there was a breathing spell Thursday.
 The "big push' started Friday night Using tanks and heavy ar- tillery barrage, the Japanese tried four times during the night to turn the west flank, each time American Marines and soldiers repulsed them.
 Early Saturday morning, the enemy tried again-in the same sec tor. American aircraft and artillery stopped them.
 Twenty four hours later Sunday morning = the Japanese started landing fresh troops from trans ports-the first enemy landing re- ported by the Navy since Oct. 15.

Strong Group in Admin. istratiOn FaVOrs Flat
 Raise
WOULD RAISE BUDGET
 FOR lO43 $3OO,OOO
0bjectives to Plans May Be Voiced, But General
 0. K. Is Seen

A flat pay increase of $150 per year for city employees, re- gardless of present position or salary, is favored by a strong group within the city administration, The Demo- crat learned today. The pro- posed increase would affect all city workers except those whose pay is fixed by charter. The board of finance, which has had the 1943 city budget under consideration for several weeks, resumes action on next yeaIB' figures at meetings this week. The board members, 1t is under stood, have withheld approval of a plan for a general percentage in- crease, feeling that such a plan would work to the disadvantage' of those in the lower-paid brackets.
 Not Definite Yet
 The plan is still subject to change, but city hall sources said today that 1t has received the most favorable consideration of all the pay-raise schemes yet advanced. Its propon- entS say that 1t would be the fair est possible method of granting in- creases, since its principal benefits would go to those who receive the least pay and who have been most handicapped by increases in the cost of living.
 There may be objection on the part of some city employees. but general approval is anticipated. Though the proposed increase is far below the amounts which police men and firemen are understood to favor. 1t Is nevertheless substantial enough to remove much of the op- position that might ordinarily be ex- pected.
 Raise Budget $300,0OO
 The $l50 year raise will mean an addition of approximately $3OO.- 100 to the city budget for next year, t was estimated at the city hall | 1oday. With a big surprise for this year indicated, however, a further l reduction in the city tax rate may | yet be possible.
