Governor Robert A. Hurley, soon will make public announcement of his decision, possibly at the June 27 meeting of the party's State Gen. tral Committee. at which Wendell Willkie will talk.
 Baldwin's decision brought to the fore series of reports spreading through party circles that:
 William J. Pape, Waterbury pulp fisher, was interested in the non- ination for Acknowledgements, and was being encouraged by high ranking party members.
 TaIDot For Treasurer Representative Joseph E. Talbot Naugatuck, who reportedly has been informed officially of Baldwin's de- cision, will not seek reelection as congressman from the Fifth Dis trict this fall. Talbot may be on the state ticket again. possibly as a candidate for treasurer.
 State Chairman J. Kenneth Brad- ley and possibly Baldwin were in favor of refusing renomination to Attorney General Francis A. Pal lotti. Despite denials. 1t was in- sisted Bradley was sounding cut possible candidates for Pallottis post.
 With Baldwin a candidate, the chances of Miss Katherine Byrne, Putnam, vice chairman of the State Central Committee, for the nom- nation as secretary of state ap- peared brighter. Hitherto, Alice Russ, Shelton, was mentioned almost exclusively for the nomination, but @ struggle still might develop.
 Old Feud Renewed
 Baldwin's decision to run again, it was pointed out, meant a re- newal of the private feud he has been having for some time with Governor Hurley. Outwardly the two are friendly, but many still believe that the antagonisrn which devel- oped when Baldwin was completing his gubernatorial term and Hurley was Public Works Commissioner, has not yet evaporated.
 Again, the decision was inter- preted as an effort on BaldWins part to remain at least as titular leader of the party in preparation for the 1944 campaign.
 Talbot's supporters were reported disappointed that he would not seek the governorship, but promised full support of the ticket picked at the state convention later in the summer. Talbot, it was said, decided against seeking congress sional reelection because of the high cost of living at Washington, and separation from his family.

 SUFFERED HEAVILY
American Long Range LiberatOrs' Are Proving
 Their Worth in Battle
BY SIDNEY J. WILLIAMS United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
 London, June IT. = (UP) American and British planes have reduced Benito Mugsolini's vaunted navy to two battleships and one heavy cruiser capable of fighting bJ their ferocious pounding of two Italian naval formations in a four day fight in the Mediter- ranean naval expert s reported today.
 The four -motored Consolidated Liberator B-24 bonlbers of the United States Army Air Corps went Into action just in time to take part in probably the biggest sea and air clash to date in the Medi- terranean phase of the war.
 Announcement that they had taken part in the battle makes 1t possible to reveal that the British Air Council has long been working to divert American built air mon- sters to the middle east, and that in pursuit of this policy the prac- tise of flying heavy bombers direct from the United States via Africa has proved complete success.
 It was indicated clearly here that American Army planes will be heard of more and more from now on In the middle eastern theater, not only in the Mediterranean proper but In other areas such as those from which four American planes which landed in Turkey took off to bomb Axis Black Sea targets.
 Naval experts believed the four day action in which United States Army planes first joined the Royal Air Force, had so reduced Benito Mussolinis vaunted navy that 1t now has only two battleships and on heavy cruiser capable of fight ing.
 Italy Paid Dearly
 Official quarters, discussing the smashing blows at the Italian fleet, including two battleships damaged and set a-fire and a 10000 ton cruiser sunk, said:
 50 far as we know the Italian battleship force which came out Of it's base, presumably at Taranton, did not get into contact with our surface forces.

 Moscow, June 17. - (UP) - A supreme German at. tempt to knock out Sevas. topol has been crushed in a ferocious 22-hour battle at the southern approaches to the fortress where all avail able Nazi strength was thrown into seven Storming attacks, official Soviet ad- vices said today.
 German pressure on the Kharkov front, $50 miles north of the be- leaguered Crimean stronghold, was eased meanwhile by a Russian counter attack that caught the Nazis off guard, knocked them out of an important village and de- stroyed a motorized column.
 The fiercest fighting of Sevasto- pols IA days of Nazi siege with its "colossal" casualties for the enemy was said by the official army organ Red Star to have oc- cured during the past 24 hours, with the Germans making des- perate attempt to overwhelm the defenders.
 At 4 a. m. yesterday the enemy threw all of its available reserves, including sappers and attachments brought up from deep in the rear, into the storming attacks along a highway south of the city.
 From then until midnight the Nazis unleashed seven strong at- tacks, supported by swarrns of tanks and heavy artillery, and final ly succeeded in fighting with bay onets and grenades in seizing the first row of Russian trenches.
 Soviet BayOnet Charge
 The Red Star said the Germans were then halted by Russian bay onet charge, which drove the Nazp fro mthe line of trenches.
 'Thousands of dead and dozeni of tanks bore testimony of the So viet determination to cling to tht fortress to the last man." he Rec 9JdT s ITUIMSlLAC pSCOu4lO o0aI'
 (The German high command, in communique today, said that de spite stiff enemy resistance" the German siege army had, stormet and taken Siberia fortress and sev' eral other fortified positions around Sevastopol. The Germans earlier had claimed the taking of Stain Fort in the city's ring of defenses.)
 On the Kharkov front the battle ragged on, with the Germans at- tempting to launch attacks in va rious sectors, the Red Star sad.
 Marshal Semyon Timoshenkot troops not only held all their posi- tions but counter-attacked at sev. eral vital points and flung back the Nazis on the seventh day of the German Kharkov drive, it was said.
 The Red Star said that, with Ger man pressure waning, the Russians were slowly taking the initiative on the Kharkov-Donet battlefront.
 The official government news paper Izvestia asserted that the Germans, fearing revolt, had re- moved the entire Russian civilian population from Kharkov.
 People Faced Inferno
 The population of Sevastopol hud- dled in caves, cellars and dugouts at night under almost constant aerial and artillery bombardment and during the day, seemingly ob- livious to the inferno around them. labored to supply the defenders cf the fortress.

Developing Real Liking
For All Foods Important

National defense has awakened
the American people in many ways.
They are beginning to realize that
they are not as healthy race as
they had imagined.
A state nutrition committee has
been organized in Oklahoma with
the hope of concentrating the work
of various organizations to raise the
nutritional status of the people in
the state.
There are too many of us who
are not i'll but are not putting into
or getting out of life all that we
could, thus not getting kick" out
of life.
I'VE would like to be healthy if
we could become so by merely wav-
ing magic wand, but nature
doesn't operate in that fashion. In
stead, she requires daily practice
of few simple rules.
Nature asks that every person
include in his daily diet: one pint
of milk, two fruits, two vegetables,
meat, eggs, butter, whole grain
cereal. 1t is wise also to eat fish
at least once week.
The milk in the diet may be con-
sumed as a beverage or used in
cooking. Evaporated milk or milk
solids may be used if fresh milk is
not available.
The fruits may be canned, dried
or fresh, but one of them should be
from the citrus group, such as or
anges, lemons, or grapefruit. To-
matoes or tomato juice may be
substituted for citrus fruit.
In the vegetable group, one of
them should be of the green leafy
variety such as mustard greens, let
tuce or cabbage.
The meat in the diet may be pork,
beef, veal, poultry, or lamb. The
inexpensive cuts and the liver or
heart may be used. Eggs may be
eaten as such or used in cooking.

MILDRED SLAUGHTER


and our first Senior this week is
none other than.
MILDRED SLAUGHTER
It's not her fault, but she was
born in Leipsic, and if you know
her, you'll agree, that despite this,
she certainly has become one of
the Seniors leading students. Again
you'll have to agree that it was
good old Hartly that gave her such
a marvellous foundation.
In 1882, Mildred moved from
Leipsic to Hartly, and finished her
eight years grammar school there.
She was always the strongest and
tallest girl in her class, and always
had the cutest boys around her.
Maybe it was because the rest of
us were too weak to fight for them
against her.
She always had the knack of
memorizing poetry, which probably
accounts for the ease with which
she learns today. She was a very
conscientious pupil, even with the
answer books sitting within her
reach. Life on the Hartly campus
consisted of one sport-soft ball,
and Mildred was Hartly's pride and
pleasure. AS their pitcher, boy,
could she sling EN-!
The day before entering Smyrna
was day of great expectation for
Mildred. But, the inevitable al
ways happens in such a case as
this, and she rammed a rusty nail
into her ankle. And to school she
came with crutches, her poor heart
broken, at not being able to walk
right.
Today we know her for her
splendid cooperation, workmanship
and dependability. She was presi-
dent of her division of the Junior
class, and today's vice-president of
our Senior class.
Her ambition, aside from keep
ing Joe out of the army is to be-
come first class secretary. Here's
hoping you succeed in both, al
though it is more fun keeping
house in Hartly
Among our short girls of ]. B. M.
we find Elva Waters, one of the
shortest. She was born in Town
send, December 9, 1923 and attend
ed Townsend school in the first,
second and third grades. Then she
came to Smyrna where she is now
one of the members of the class of
AZ.

containing meat cubes and crisp
bits of celery, as included in this
recipe, you have main dish that
will provide energy for any defense
worker, and that's one Of the things
that is uppermost in all of our
minds right now. Juicy cubes of
pineapple may be added to the
Chop Suey sauce, too, giving
touch that makes hit with every
one.
Both the Chop Suey sauce and the
rice may be prepared at the same
time in the deep well cooker of an
electric range, using only one cooker
unit turned to low heat. This heav-
lily insulated cooker, which is now
standard equipment on many cleo
trio ranges, makes it possible to
double up in cooking many other
food combinations, too. And every
time that one electric unit can be
used in place of two, just that much
more electricity is saved for the
manufacture of defense equipment.
Here then is a favorite recipe
for pineapple Chop Suey, as it can
be prepared, both economically and
conveniently, in the deep well
cooker of the electric range:
