Republican State Chairman J. Kenneth Bradley today called on women members of the state cen- tral committee to meet in Hartford Tuesday to discuss selection of a vice-chairman of the state central committee, national committee woman and candidate for secre- tary of state.
 The posts oF vice-chairman and national committeewomen are va cant because of the recent death of Miss Katherine Byrne, veteran party worker.
 MT. Bradley has sent the follow ing letter to state central commit tee women.
 The death of our beloved vice. chairman, Miss Katherine Byrne, has deprived us of devoted friend and a great leader. No one can re- place her or give to the party the seasoned judgment and sound ad- vice by which we have for many years past been guided. Yet I am sure that it would be her dearest wish that we should carry on the splendid work that was hers.
 One of the first decisions that the party must make is the choice of a chairman, a member of the Re- publican National Committee, and a candidate for secretary of the state.
 These offices must be filled by women, the first two by the rules and the last by common consent. Upon all questions of this sort the party leaders have been accustomed to consult Miss Byrne. Now this information and advice must be ob- tained directly from you.
 have accordingly arranged a meeting of the women members of the Republican State Central Com mittee at the Hotel Bond in Hart ford, on Tuesday, September g, to consider these matters and advise the entire party on the filling of these offices and a general program. The meeting will be preceded by a luncheon. You are requested to be on hand at 12:30. Please be sure to be there. If you cannot attend, appoint a proxy from your district.
 I suggest that in those districts consisting of more than one town

 Don't worry about the order pro- hibiting copper or it's alloys from being used in fuses. This wont affect individual home-owners. OPA's Getting Tough Too!
 Expect more and more prosecu- ton on the part of the Office of Price Administration against store keepers who violate the law. OPA feels it has given retail merchants ample time to learn all regulations governing price control. Now it ex- poets to enforce price ceiling regu- lations to prevent recurrence of the last wars shenanigans. During World War I food prices. restricted by little except the conscience of those who set them, hopped about like nervous fieas on hot griddle. Some staple commodities were more than double their 1914 price at the wars end.
 OPA figures that about s62 bil- lion will be saved the government on war expenditures through price control during the next % months. This means saving approximately S460 per person which otherwise would have to be levied by increased taxes now or increased postwar debts. Not only does OPA expect merchants to cooperate. whether they sell in stores or from wagon, but OPA deems it unpatriotic for a housewife to deal in store which does not post ceiling prices.
 Moreover. OPA warns consumers that they've got an ace in the hole. They can sue for three times the amount oyercharged them by a merchant or e60-whichever is higher.
