CAN COLLECTION RESPONSE POOR
Less Than Carload Gath- cred Saturday; Ship-
 ment Cancelled

Less than a carload shipment of tin cans were collected Saturday in the city's second tin salvage col lection, The shipment arranged for detinning plant was cancelled when the returns fell below eXpec- tations.
 No estimate has been made of the amount collected from the southern half of the city, but 1t Is believed the city's total for the month will be far below the quota of 50 tons. About 17 tons were do- mated by residents of the northern section two weeks ago.
 City workers who were in charge of the work Saturday reported that residents of many streets failed to put out donations. The rain inter- fered with the collection and 1t is believed many persons who had saved cans neglected to place them for collection because of weather conditions.
 The next collection will be held Dec. 5 in the northern section, while the southern half will be canvased again Dec. l9,

HOLIDAY TRAIN
 SCHEDULES SET
Maximum Service Over Thanksgiving to Aid Ser-
 vicemen Enjoy Reunions

The New Haven Railroad is ar. ranging to provide maximum train service over Thanksgiving, with every effort directed toward accom- modating thousands of men in the nations armed forces who are planning holiday reunions with families and friends. Service will depend on the availability of equip ment, and will conform to regula- tions of the Offlce of Defense Trans portation.
 Though commuter service will be somewhat curtailed, as it always is on a major holiday, trains serving war industry workers will operate on regular weekday schedules Thanksgiving Day.
 Pointing out that the forthcom- ing holidays-Thanksgiving, Christ mas and New Year's-"belong to the men in service" offering to many men the last opportunity to visit families and friends for the dura- tion, The New Haven Is seeking the cooperation of civilians to refrain from travelling during these holidays unless such travel is absolutely necessary; or, at least, to make only one holiday trip, instead of a trip over each holiday. In this way, civ- ilians will make it possible for our fighting forces to enjoy the holiday season.

COFFEE SALESMAN
 BRINGS FBI HERE
Bulk Quantities Confiscat. ed Found to Be Only 40
 Per Cent Genuine

Bulk coffee, confiscated last week by city and state health inspectors, was found today to be only about 40 per cent genuine coffee, the re- mainder being starch bean which laboratory tests have thus far failed tc identify. The coffee was taken from Nicolangelo Cimino, who was ordered to appear before the state food and dairy commission pre- viously on a charge of selling adulterated and misbranded oil.
 The coffee was tested following complaints received by health au- thorities from local housewives who had made their purchases from Cimino. Inspector George Sullivan said that according to Cimino's story, he had bought the coffee from a New York dealer, the same establishment from which he had purchased the oil. He pointed out that the FBI is now working on the case. Meanwhile Cimino will appear in Hartford Thursday to answer both charges.
 Inspector Sullivan stated that there are Q number of house-to- house agents now selling oil and coffee, and he warned housewives to be on their guard against such salesmen, pointing out that many of them are former bootleggers who have not forgotten their old stratagems, He spoke of one sales man who was selling gallon jugs supposed to contain pure olive oil, but which were actually partitioned of in such a way that only a small quantity of oil was present, the remainder of the jug being filled with water.
 A statewide survey of the coffee situation will be- launched today, MT. Sullivan said.

DISPELLING THE FOG
CHARLES NICHOLSON
PUBLICITY DIRECTOR DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE

When the President indicated a
preference for a particular candi-
date for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton in his own State, he was re-
proved and censured for squander-
ing time on politics. If we listened
to the anti-administration minority
party leaders we might have gath
cred the impression that our Chief
Executive was side-tracking the
conduct of the war to engage in a
factional local controversy. Actual
ly, he spent about two minutes in
authorizing one candidate to an
nounce that the President had said
that If he were a delegate to the
nominating convention at Brooklyn
he would cast his ballot for Senator
Mead.
Then along came real political
issue. Many Congressman because
of fear Of what the Farm bloc
might do to them in the coming
election, baked at making parity
prices the ceiling for agricultural
products, sticking to the formula Of
40 per cent of parity. Parity
roughly means that the farmers
income should be adjusted in ac-
cordance with the prices he has
to pay, and the amount of wages
received by those in industry. One
hundred and ten per cent of parity
meant a demand for another jump
in wages, if the ratio was to be kept
up, and so the spiral of threatened
initiation would be accelerated

WHY THEY WON

why is it that virtually all of
the Republican isOlationist Con-
gressmen seeking reelection have
been renominated" asks a Mis-
sourian. The answer is simple.
The Republican isolationists were
renOminated because a large ma
jority of the members Of their
political faith are isolationists and
see eye to eye with their Congress
men.
In spite of all Of their patriotic
and widely heralded pronounce
ments to the contrary, the Repub-
lican Party as a unit is still more
or less of an isolationist party. 1t

that an effort might be made to

sional elections. That was brand
ed as absurd but if this doctrine
prevails, the election might as we'll
be postponed" Gravely the Sena-
tor propounded that if the Presi-
dent could set aside an act of Con-
gress by Executive order, he
could draft men in violation of the
Selective Service Act and impose
taxes by executive order.
He did not mention that, if he
was so minded, the President could
establish jitterbug night club in
the State dining room at the
White House, commission Mae
West a Lieutenant General, and
order the Navy to the North Pole.
These suggestions of what the
President could do accord in prob
ability with the warning that "if
this doctrine is sustained in war
time it can easily be stretched to
cover the postwar period and a
whole string of possible later emer-
gencies until we would have a
complete one-man dictatorship
Then government by the people
will have vanished from Amer
ica."

by running on both tickets.
Ellison showed remarkable
strength and in the Democratic
primaries took the vote on which
Meyer had counted. An examina-

staunchly supported by Governor
O'Conor. And he was only scant
thousand votes behind Wyatt in

Ellison has favorable press; he
has the support of labor and what
is equally important he seems vir-
tually to have preemptied the vote
in the big, important 18th ward.
1t was the desertion Of this ward
which was John Meyers undoing.

"a sufficient number nomina-

"Comprehensively and convinc-
ingly the Jeffersonian theory Of
the greatest good to the greatest
number has been consistently car
ried out by the Administrator
Senators during the ten years of
the Roosevelt Administration and
the continued endorsement by the
people may be expected this year.
The people have convincingly ap-
proved the Roosevelt war policies
and in my opinion they will do 80

than in past years.
There will be no great political
campaign by the candidates of the
