political parties. There nave also been reports that leaders of both major parties have been seeking his endorsement.
 However, it became known today that the American Progressive party will run its own candidates for the senate and the legislature in every city. town and district in the fifth district.
 Eddie" as he Is familiarly known in political circles advocated the passage of several measures which have since been adopted by Con- gress and are now laws of our land.
 Eddie advocated, so his statement reads, that men in the armed serv- ice be given the right to send mail free of charge. This is now the law.
 He was the first in Connecticut to advocate an increase in pay for men in the armed service. His op- ponents at that time refused to agree with this plan and many people were heard to say it would be suicide" Yet the fact is that the increase was granted by Con- greSs.
 Tn the party platform announced some time ago by MT Ryan 1t called for the elimination of auto testing lanes. The governor has repealed the auto testing law.
 Today 1t became apparent that the major blanks that MT. Ryan will seek his election on are:
 An old-age pension law which will give to every American citizen, with less than $500 annual in- come, and upon reaching their 65th birthday $60 every month for the rest of their lives.
 He will also ask for a complete investigation into the rubber and gasoline shortages, and any person who knows MT. Ryan knows that this is not idle talk but that he will be heard very frequently in Congress on these subjects if he is elected.
 Always 8 staunch supporter of labor he will appeal more directly to organized labor support, and will claim that his knowledge of labor problems is far superior to that of any politically minded politician in the entire fifth Congressional dis trict.

With hatred that was al- most an obsession, he hated the slow, sturdy, dependable, lightly armed observation plane to which his orders condemned him. Day after day he climbed into his plane and flew his uneventful beat out over the empty sea and back, end- lessly from ship to horizon and be- beyond the horizon and back to the ship.
 Ace Dreamed of Battle
 But Ace planned attacks He dreamed of bombing an enemy ship and he believed sincerely that he could get away with 1t. He even thought, given altitude, skill and the advantage of few seconds sur- prise, that he could attack Jap Zero fighter and win.
 And so today he flew his patrol. Willie the radioman was with him in the rear seat. They flew out to the end of their sector and started back. On the way in they met a plane searching another sector.
 Ace signaled the second plane to join up. Something went wrong then, nobody knows what. As the other pilot drew toward him, Aces plane swerved into turn, swung sharply around 180 degrees and dove into the sea.
 The other pilot landed in the open sea, taxied near the capsized wreckage and, leaving the plane in the hands 10 his radioman, clam bered into the water and tried to reach Ace and Willie under the heaving surface.
 He found nothing but a floating glove.
 Somebody will have to go to the girl Ace married two months ago and explain to her why his sick ness will never be cured and why perhaps, 1t doesn't matter now.

TRIAL OF PASTOR
 HAS BEEN OPENED
(Continued from Page 1.)

One of the jurors selected yester- day, John w. Purtill, Glastonbury, did not report because of illness, and another juror was named in his place-Fern Savage, Preston.
 Rev. Molzahn, AT, graying, stocky man, sat quietly as the pros pective jurors were questioned by Federal Judge J. Joseph Smith, but sought to catch every word.
 It was most difficult to hear any, thing in the courtroom. The fed- eral building here is situated along side the railroad tracks and freight yards ,and every movement of an engine or baggage car was audible in the courtroom, and heavily, too.
 Counsel for the government and the defense had to pull up chairs to the witness stand to listen to the questioning of prospective jur- ors.
 Spectators in the huge courtroom were fortunate if they caught an occasional humble of word.
 After the jurors and alternates were sworn in, Judge Smith de- clared a recess until 3:15 p. m. to permit defense counsel to examine certain records.
 When court reconvenes, govern ment attorneys will make an open ing statement of the charges against Rev. Molzahn, followed by defense counsel.
