How Star Keeps
Hair Healthy

SCREEN STARS, as you prob
ably know, usually have their
hair washed every day while
they are working, so their hair
and wave will always look the
same, match the previous days
shooting.
This schedule certainly keeps
the hair clean, but sometimes
after weeks it leaves the hair
bit dry. If your hair, from what
ever cause. is dry. too, take this
tip from Irene Dunno. When
ever she has a day off she
brushes her hair thoroughly,

Then, late in the afternoon,

Her hair is brushed almost dry,
the ends dampened again just
enough to set them, then dried
with a hand drier.

Tn each instance, the gov- ernment claimed, the landlords sought rentals higher than those of March l. i94i. the date which is the yardstick under the rent con- trol act.
 The landlords are prohibited from demanding or receiving rent in ex- cess" of the ceiling limit and from causing eviction" because of rec fusal of the tenants to pay more,
 Eviction proceedings are pro. hlblted in the papke and Walker eases, but may be brought in the Petersen ease if desired, Judge Hlneks ruled. Jn no case, however, can such proceedings be based on tho rent claim.

Scully has consistently refused to be candidate, state leaders were heartened by the fact that Water burys 46 delegates are pledged to Gov. Hurley. Two years ago the Brass City group opposed Gov. Hur- ley at the New Haven convention, fighting unsuccessfully for the nom ination of ex-Gov. Wilbur L. Cross. A big Democratic majority in Water bury this fall is hoped for.
 Optimism over Democratic chances in the fifth congressional district, which takes in Waterbury, other New Haven county towns and all of I Litchf1eld county, was evident. There is a feeling that Republicans in Litchfield county, who backed Will liam J. Pape for the Republican nomination for lieutenant-governor are not too enthused about the c. O. P. ticket. Another factor is the belief that Congressman Talbot's popularity has declined greatly since he broke Democratic control of the district in the special election last January.
 AS a mater of fact, there is opti- mism about the whole state picture. Gov. Hurley is believed to have added greatly to his stature as a public figure during his almost two years in office, and there are pre- dictions that he will draw many Re- publican and independent votes.
 G. o. F. Cong. Slate
 Hartford, Conn, Sept. 15-(UP)- Connecticut's Republican congress sional slate was complete today with the renomination of Cong. Joseph E.. Talbot, Naugatuck, in the fifth dis trict.
 The slate:
 First district: William J. Miller, Wethersf1eld.
 Second district: First Selectman John D. McWilliams, Norwich. Third district: Maj. Ranulf Comp ton, Madison.
 Fourth district: Mrs. Glare Boothe Luce, Greenwich.
 Fifth district: Rep. Talbot.
 Congressman at large: Boleslaus J. Monkievicz, New Britain.
 The big show was in the fourth district, where Mrs. Luce was the nominee. Shortly after being named, Mrs. Luce named William J. Bren- nan, Stamford leader, as her cam paign manager.
 Miss Vivien Kellems, Westport who battled Mrs. Luce for the nomi- nation, sent her telegram of con- gratulations. Outside of a little gratuitous tabloid promotion" the telegram said, T have thoroughly enjoyed it and hope you have also.'
 Miss Kellems did not specify whether she would vote for Mrs Luce, saying only she would vote for Republican.
 It was the first time in history that a woman was nominated for congress in Connecticut, according to Raymond E. Baldwin, the Repub- 1ican gubernatorial candidate.

 "The plane appeared to be small and of slow speed.
 Tt had no lights, no distinguish able color and no insignia was vis- ible.
 Tt is possible that plane of this type might have been carried on a submarine.
 About II a. m. Pacific War Time Sept. g, an army patrol plane re- ported sighting an unidentified sub marine about 30 miles of shore in the same general vicinity.
 "The submarine was bombed by the airplane with unobserved re- suits.
 About 1920 D. m. PVT, the same day, small fire was observed about three miles south of Mount Emily. Investigation by forestry patrols who eXtinguished the fire, disclosed a small crater about three feet in diameter and slightly more than a foot in depth.
 "The earth appeared to be Scorched. An examination of the crater and the area in the vicinity revealed about 40 pounds of metal fragments and a number of small pellets.
 Markings of Jap
 ''The fragments disclosed mark ings of Japanese ideograp aphs, which may have been part of a code in dicating the arsenal where the bomb was manufactured.
 "A search of the area has failed to reveal the presence of any other indications of bombs having been dropped"
 If the bomb was dropped by a Japanese plane, it was the first aerial attack on the continental United States although submarines twice have shelled the coast A Jap- anese submarine lobbed 15 shells into an oil field near Goleta, Cal, Feb. %S while President Roosevelt was delivering a fireside chat.

 ''Does that mean that we have turned the balance of military and naval striking power in the western Pacific?"
 "Yes, we have for the time being. Most certainly. I'm not bold enough to do any forecasting but for the present the answer is yes"
 Blandy said he agreed with Un- dersecretary of the Navy James ". Forrestal that i've have a very real second front" established in, the southwest Pacific.
 The Japanese, he said, is a fanav tic, determined enemy who sought no quarter and gave no quarter" l" He found that in spite of the tre- mendously difficult supply problem, the ordnance was reaching Ameri- can ships and planes in the south west Pacific and was performing well, with a few minor exceptions.
 Fine Cooperation
 He. said he encountered . fine spirit of cooperation among the va rious services. They share supplies with each other and despite the in- termixture of services in the com- mand chain, the whole situation ap- peared to be handled as though only a single service were involved, he said.
 Sen. Harry s. Truman, D., Mo, chairman of the Senate committee Investigating conduct of the war effort, charged on the Senate floor yesterday that despite assurances from Army and Navy officials, unity of command between the two serv- ices still was lacking, particularly in Alaska.
 Blandy expressed gratification with the manner in which the anti air. craft defenses aboard American ships were functioning. He de- scribed the Navy's flve-inch anti aircraft gun as the best weapon of its type in the world. To illustrate the effectiveness oi our naval anti aircraft defenses, ht told about a torpedo attack on oul transports and screening force dur 1 ing the occupation of Guadalcanal The Japanese attacked with 27 tor. pedo bombers and eight or 10 hori. zontal bombers. Over half of tht torpedo planes were shot down bJ the ships themselves, he related The Japs scored one hit on de. stroyer and failed to hit any trans. ports.

He added that he yields to no one in feeling that the American home should be defended" but said it may have to be defended at some dis tance."
 He told the committee that while he did not desire to keep the public agitated over draft questions, he be- lieved that it should be kept in- formed.
 If you asked me, I couldn't tell you what the size of the Army will be-" he said. But do know that the number of men we are taking each day is far greater than the public realizes"
 Hershey said in speech Sunday night that the Army eventually might require 10,000,000 to 1S.000, 900 men.
 He told the committee that local draft boards were trying their very best to work John Jones into the manpower pictures" and trying to decide whether he was more essen- tial to industry or to the armed forces.
 T don't know what the answer is when the clash comes over whether a man is needed most in the armed forces or in industry" he added. Although draft boards have been instructed not to take married men with children at this time, Hershey said there is Hack of uniformity in the way the system has worked.
 Boards vary in their opinions on whether married men should be called, he said, often deciding for themselves that they might as well go ahead and call the married men.

 Greatest Ever Fought
 But paramount interest was cen- tered on the battle of Stalingrad, one of the greatest and bloodiest ever fought.
 The Germans opened their frerl- zied thrusts on the southwest ap- procah on the central sector. Pre- liminary ground blows failed. The bombing opened, and section by section, blasted Russian positions. Russia fighter planes aided by in- tensive anti-aircraft fire, shot down many of the planes.
 An infantry division and 30 or 40 tanks advanced. They met wither- ing artillery and anti-aircraft nre, which kept them from advancing more than 300 or 400 yards, and cost them several batatlions of in- fantry (probably 2,000 mem and dozens of tanks.
 The Germans sent sthree columns against the Russians on another sector. One infantry division d5.OOO men) supported by 20 tanks deliv- cred the main blow, while two tank columns struck simultaneously at two other points. The enemy was unbale to advance, despite heavy air support.

 U. s. Rep. Frank Fellows (R) won a second term without opposi- tion in the third district.
 Gasoline rationing, war work, the harvesting of bumper crops. and an apathetic public all contributed to make the balloting the lightest in a Maine election in 12 years.

 Sweeping the rural regions as had been expected, the Republicans showed surprising strength in a number of industrial cities which normally are Democratic. Fort Kent was carried by the c. O. P. for the first time in history.

Talbot Renolninated
 At Convention Here
"Business as Usual Politics as Usual" Out the Win-
 dow Says Congressman in Acceptance Speech

Smith CD who resigned to accept appointment as a federal judge.
 MT. Talbot's name was offered by Attorney J. Howard Roberts of Thomaston, who reviewed his career in public life. MT. Roberts laid par- ticular stress on MT. Talbot's mem- bership on the special congressional petroleum-rubber committee, and said that the problems of war short- ages had been given careful study by him.
 The 41-year- congressman, MT. Roberts related, was 8 graduate of Naugatuck schools, Dartmouth col- lege and Vale Law School, as well as former factory worker in the borough. He served in public life first as prosecuting attorney and later as judge of the Naugatuck town court, He was elected state treasurer in 1888, and served for the next two years, then was appointed compensation commissioner by .ex. Governor Raymond E. Baldwin. He resigned as compensation commits sioner last January to serve in Congress, defeating the Democratic candidate, John s. Monagan of this city, in a special election called by Gov. Robert A. Hurley.
 In his acceptance speech, MT. Talbot declared that the war ef- fort must take precedence over everything else.
 Business as usual and politics as usual," he said, "are out the win dow until America, united as never before, buckles down to the real job of grinding the Axis into com plete and utter defeat"
 Success in the election in the fifth district this fall will, he said, de- pend in great part on the support given him by Republican workers since he is returning to Washington to carry on his duties there.
 Russell Patterson of Torringtor was chairman of the convention, J Warren Upson of this city clerk and Claremont Tolles of Naugatuck parliamentarian.
 The nomination of MT. Talbot was seconded by Rep. William Bradley of Beacon Falls in a speech ir which he attacked President Roose. welt.
 The nominee was congratulated by Col. Roy E. Rice, recently re. turned from Australia, who was al unsuccessful candidate for the dis. trict nomination last January.
 Congressman Talbot played hos to the delegates and a number ot friends at a dinner held in con- junction with the convention.

 The American planes then roared down and machine-gunned the To- bruk north shore.
 Many bombs were reported to have fallen among Axis tent en- campments and in the Wadis (dry ravines) where transport and sup plies were stored.
 Long-range allied fighters pro- vided continuous protection to cover the naval units as they returned from the Tobruk operation, fighting of large formations of dive bomb CTS and level bombers and inflicting considerable casualties.
 A number of enemy planes were forced to drop their bombs at ran dom and flee.
 Enemy Encampment Hit
 An enemy encampment nine miles west of Tobruk was attacked at the same time while long range bomb- CTS blasted at Benghazi and the enemy airdrome at .Sidi Haneish, starting four fires.
 The United States communique said that the American planes con- centrated on dock facilities, ship ping, airdromes and other Axis in- Etallations.
 Numerous explosions were caused and fires started" the communique reported
 "At Tobruk," it said, "one partic- ularly violent explosion was caused and fires were started which could be observed for many miles,"
 Both heavy and medium bombers participated in the operation.
 Medium bombers attacking en- emy aircraft on the ground" the communique said, succeeded in starting several fires and number of direct hits on aircraft were ob- served No Axis night fighters were encountered but during the period of the attacks there was consider able anti-aircraft activity"
 The communique did not report any U. 6. plane losses.
