hope that any political promise to any group would be fulfilled" the platform stated, because the future will be determined by the exigencies of war"
 The platform, briefest In the party's history, decried racial and class discrimination, condemned the exploitations of the war for power, wealth or political gain. and assert ed that mo section of the country should be required to make war sac rifices not borne by all"
 It asked preservation of the two- party system.
 Connecticut under the Republi- cans in 1939 and 1940, the platform declared, was better prepared for war than any other. When peace comes, Connecticut will need sound leadership to prevent industrial de- pression and economic collapse. The record of the Republican admins tration of 1899 and 1940 in prepar- ing this state for the present crisis is the best guarantee of its ability to provide the wise and brave lead ership necessary to prepare for and meet postwar problems"
 Furthermore, 1t declared that former Governor Raymond E. Bald win "is known to the whole nation for his leadership of the Americans who wish the United States to take it's rightful place in world affairs"
 The platform avoided mention of state issues but dealt in generalities on the International situation.
 'The extraordinary powers now vested in the national executive" it said, "are Q war time necessity When peace comes, these powers must be returned to the people by wise and determined Republican ln- slstenee on the rights of the individ- ual."

 Campaign managers for William ?. Pape of Woodbury and Water bury, candidate for the nomination If Acknowledgements, worked few Drishly all last night and into the morning hours today seeking to line 6p delegate strength. State Chair man ,. Kenneth Bradley said that he and other leaders were maintain hng Q strictly hands off" policy, but, nevertheless, the impression pre- walled that Representative William G. Hadden of Orange was their phoace.
 Hadden Determined
 NRr. Hadden himself told The Democrat: Tin in this to stay s of now" He declined to amplify Che qualifying phrase.
 The makeup of the rest of the Ticket hinged on the outcome ot Nha Rape- -Hadden fight. If Pape wins, the nomination for state treasurer will undoubtedly go to Michael D. McGovern of New Haven who, like Hadden, Is of Irish Resecnt. If Hadden wins, the place HiiI probably go to either one of hwo Litchfield countyites, Senator Frank Peet of Kent or Sherman ives of Morris.
 Litchfield County is almost solidly behind MT. Pape, whose voting res kence is in Woodbury. Recalling h93a, when MT. Pape lost the nom- nation for governor to MT. Baldwin, Eh0 was later elected, the Pape pompaign managers were button koling every possible delegate. Re- ports still persisted that the Pape kroup would support Mrs. Frances Redick of Newington for secretary of state, in return for which a large bloc of Hartford County dele gates would back Pape for the Vecoud spot on the ticket.
 County Commissioner Asahel w.. Mitchell of Woodbury was slated to make the nominating speech for MT. Pape.
 Pape headquarters made an offi- wial claim of at least 250 of the 630 VoteS in the convention, and said the. total was growing hourly.

 Hartford, Conn, Sept. 11-(UP)- The Republican state convention to- day renominates former Gov. Ray mond E. Baldwin of Stratford to op- pose his 1940 foe, Democratic Gov. A. Hurley, in the November state election.
 Baldwin, governor from 1888 to 1940, was assured of the party'S gub- ernatorial nomination for the third time in row, and. may be named by exclamation.
 The solitary opponent of the for mer governor was Clifford B. Wilson, former lieutenant governor, whose posters dotted the hotel Hobbies. Wilson, assured only of the 10 Bridgeport delegates, was not given whisper of chance for the nom- ination, and his name may not even be presented to the convention.
 Although there was harmony on the top spot on the ticket, there was less unanimity about the lesser places, notably Acknowledgements secretary of state and S.easurer. All night delegates, candidates and leaders argued over these three posts and when the tumult and the shout ing was over, there still was no de- cision.
 Hadden Leads
 For Acknowledgements, 1t still appeared that Rep. William L. Had den, West Haven, had the lead over Publisher William J. Pape, Water bury, who said he was in the race to stay. At a late hour, the dele gates were still waiting word from Baldwin as to which candidate he favored.
 For secretary of state, the fight was on between Mrs. Alice Russ Shelton, who was said to be making progress against Mrs. Frances Red- ick, Newington representative.
 For treasurer, the name of Mi chael McGovern, New Haven, still was being mentioned, although Judge Sheldon Smith, Norwalk, hac 8 lot of posters and banners around and was making determined bid This post may stay open until thu Acknowledgements fight was de cided.
 Attorney General Francis A. Pal lotti was expected to be renomin- ated without opposition, and former State Comptroller Fred R. Teller wa in the field by himself.
 First in History
 The convention met for the first time last night to hear the key. note address of Mrs. Clare Bootht Luce, Greenwich writer and play wright, and to organize. Herbert N Booma, East Hartford, was named chairman of the permanent organi- zation committee, and Michae Franco, New Haven, was elected chairman of the credentials com. mittee.
 Mrs. Luce, dressed in black chif. ion dress and wearing black suede shoes, was the first woman to give the keynote speech at a Republican state convention in history. She called for unified military economic and political command tc insure total victory for the United States and the United Nations.

 Hotel Bond, Hartford, September II. = Headquarters for William J. Pape were set up in a suite on the seventh floor of this hotel. From early afternoon on, the rooms were a mecca for scores of convention delegates and visitors.
 Campaign workers for MT. Pape scurried in and out of the suite with information, tips and gossip which they had gathered here and there.
 Irving c. '~Tiny" Jacoclks, of Rranf6rd, an aspirant for the con- gressionaI nomination in the third district, was a prominent figure last night. He visited headquarters of many of the delegations to say hello.
 Many of the delegates did not attend the opening session of the convention last night. preferring instead to stay at their hotels. The keynote address by Mrs. Luce was heard on the radio by scores who were supposed to have been at the Bushnell Memorial.
 The Young Mems Republican Club of Waterbury was welI-represented last night. There was large dele gati0n on hand, headed by Harold s. Rogers, club president.
 
 Delegates were warned before the opening of the morning session to- day that there would be no recess until action on selection of the full ticket had been completed. In the event of prolonged contests, this meant long delayed lucheon hour.
 Cots were set up fin some hotel rooms for delegates who had been unable to secure reservations. Most of the Waterbury group went home late last night or early this morning, returning in time for tOday's ses- sion at 10 a. m.
 The prolonged wailing of sirens about 7:45 o'clock last night started rumors that a blackout was under way. Party leaders had visions of the whole convention being disrupt ed. and almost quaked in their boots until they found 1t was fire alarm.
 The usual flood of rumOrs swept over Hartford last night and this morning. They had lt that this and that candidate was withdrawing, that SC and 60 was backing such and such. etc. No convention would De official without them, and the wilder the better.
 The "personal reasons" behind the withdrawal of ex.LieutenaFlt-d dcv- ernor James L. McConaughy from the contest for second place on the ticket were explained yesterday with the announcement that i,e had been appointed to head the United China Relief. He has been given Q years leave Of absence from his duties as president Of WesIeyan university 70 order to take over the relief post.

Alderman.

There is scarcity of candidates in the 18th district, which is peren- nially strongly Democratic. Two years ago the Republicans joined with the Socialists in coalition ef- fort to wrest the district from the Democrats, but Senator Edward P. Egan, though he had been engaged in a bitter three-sided primary fight, won easily. Senator Egan was not candidate for renomination this year and Attorney Tobin won the designation in primary battle with Patrick J. Wallace.

Report
Mr.. Panagoulis also reported
that arm bands for the police and
firemen have already been received
and that arm bands for the med
ical corps, messengers, and others,
will be purchased within two
weeks. Thomas Kicker, chief of
the Motor Unit, reports that the
county chief has notified him that
they are ready to equip four am
balances for Greenbeft defense but,
the question arises once again
where are We going to get four
ambulances or vehicles to serve as
such? 1t seems, however, that one
actual and one improvised ambu-
lance will prove sufficient for our
needs at present.
Flash
A pamphlet prepared by local
afraid wardens containing all the
necessary information relative to
blackouts, air raids, medical treat
ment for possible injuries, etc,
may soon be available to every
resident in town. The Corps has
notified the finance committee to
investigate the possible cost of
printing this pamphlet. DR.. James
McCarl, chief of communications,
advises that his Boy Scouts and
messengers will be in the July 4th
parade as we'll as on duty during
all blackouts and afraid alarms.
New Corps Personnel
In all probability DR.. William
Eisner will replace DR.. Joseph
Silaov as Medical Service chief.
Mrs. Virginia Harris, 1872 Ridge
Road, has replaced Mrs. Margaret
Miller as conservation chief. Philip
Wexler has replaced Francis Fos-
night as chief of information.
