Chinese Ambassador to Visit TOrringtOn for Re-

Plans are near completion for the opening of old Toll Gate playhouse by MT. and Mrs. Fred TueSsenich of Toll Gate Hill. The playhouse IS relnodeled from one hundred years old barn and the original atmos- phere has been retained as far as possible, including the hand hewn beams and the hayloft which has been converted into a balcony.
 MT. and Mrs. Tuessenich plan to sponsor lectures and concerts at the playhouse and will open the season with 8 lecture on August 30 by Dr. IT Sun, Chinese ambassador to the United States who is on a lecture tour of the country for the benefit of China relief.
 It is equipped with 8 movable platform 50 that 1t will be equally suitable for concerts and lectures, and plans are being completed to bring other prominent figures to TorTington.
 The barn is located in back of old Toll Gate built in 1742, an old fash toned house, owned and operated by the FuesSnichs and completely fur- nished with antiques, including pieces Illustrated in Wallace Nut ting's books.
 A group of prominent Torrington and Litchfleld men and women will serve on the reception committee for the Chinese ambassador.

defeat for both the CIO and the AFL, which had endorsed MT. Stan- ton and which had strongly at- tackled MT. Blansfield for his "anti- labor" attitude. In the other district, the C1O had endorsed MT. Tobin but the AFL had not.
 Voting Orderly
 The voting was orderly all day long and police on duty at the polls reported everything quiet. There were a few minor arguments dur. ing the counting of the ballots but they were quickly settled.
 The outcome was another evi. dence of the fact that carefully planned campaigns are necessary in politics. MT. Stanton had entered the race only last Friday night, and his campaign organization was ob- viously weak. MT. Wallace had en- tered the race only Sunday night, and the organization was unable to build up its strength soon enough to help him to any great extent.
 Taken as an indication of the turnout in the Fall election, the primary showed general disinterest on the part of the voters. It will be for the party leaders to change this feeling by election day.

 A time limit IS to be set by which all tranSmitters must be surrendered.
 British stations last night broad cast a message to the French people conveying the tanks of the Imperial General Staff for their cooperation in the Dieppe attack.
 At 6:l6 Wednesday morning we asked the population of the Dieppe area to avoid all action which might endanger their own security" the message said. This request was pre-. ceded, you will remember, several weeks before by 8 more general warning addressed to inhabitants of the coastal area bidding them in their own interests to evacuate pro- hibited areas and advising them not to take part in event of a mil- itary operation.
 Today after the Dieppe affair we are eager to congratulate the French people living in the region on the scrupulous way in which our advice was followed.
 By the side of the heavy losses of fighting troops on both sides there have been unfortunately q number of casualties among the French people. We desire to pay homage to those Frenchmen who lost their lives as well as to our own men.

 GREAT SURPRISE

 The Maxim raid marked the third time Major Roosevelt has been un- der enemy fire.
 While serving as an observer in the Middle East he was exposed to bombing and stra1ing attacks by Axis planes.
 Then, in the battle of Midway early in July, he came under Japa- nese fire when enemy planes swooped down on the mid -Pacifi. stronghold at the height of the gi- gantic battle that resulted in the complete route of Nippon's 80-Shir invasion armada.
 Proud Of Major
 Hassett said the President and Mrs. Roosevelt wer eproud of the major and their other three sons all of them are in tha ermed forces.
 Elliott Roosevelt is 8 lieutenant colonel in the army air forces: Franklin, Jr., lieutenant c. O. in the Navy, and John, the young est, naval ensign.
 Major Roosevelt's military career is somewhat unique. He was Heu- tenant Colonel in the Marines be- fore he became Q major.
 He accompanied his father on the Presidents historic visit to Buenos Aires in 1886. To permit him to hold a rank be1ltting an aide to the president, Jimmy was appointed Lieutenant Colonel of the Marine Corps Reserves. He later resigned and was reappointed a captain in 194O and went on active duty. He later was promoted to major.
 At 3S, he has had varied career business man, movie producer, politician, and member of the high councils of government. He has been the subject of wide attention in teh press since the day he first came to Washington as an aide and conf1dante of his father.
 Born In New York
 Born in New York City in 1907 he was educated at Groton School and Harvard. He studied law at Boston University and began his business career as an insurance broker in Boston. Later he became president of the National Grain Yeast Corp, at Belleville. N. J.
 Although he had been active in government circles previously, hh first big assignment came in 1881 when he was appointed \ presiden- tial secretary, relieving his father o1 some of the burden of Interviewing callers and acting as 6 liaison mar between the White House and de- partment heads and Congress.
 In 1888, he resigned his White House post and went to Hollywood where he was associated with Pro- ducer Samuel 0oldwyn. lie later organized his own company, spec ializing in televiSion-recording sets
 Later, while hospitalized for au illness, he met his present wife, the former Romelle Schneider, who act ed as his nurse. He was divorced from his first wife, the former Betsy Cushing of Boston, in 1040 They have two children
