The train creaked slowly up the

little short of there the old fellow
buttonholed the brakeman in the
aisle and wanted to know if every
thing was running according to
Hoyle-and particularly whether
this train would make the trip on
scheduled time to Gassaway. The
brakeman said Yes-everything was
right as rain; and there was no
reason, barring accident or a cam

Wendell willkie, why we should
not arrive on the minute at CASA

seemed to speak words of assurance.
But the venerable traveller still
wore a troubled look when he clam
bered aboard as we started on; and
just out of Suttonville he hunted
down the conductor, to interrupt
his checking of passenger tickets,
and desired to know how long it
would really be-to the minute, he
hoped-before we steamed into Gas

through his glasses, surrendered
some kind of information, and went
on counting fares.
A few minutes after, the ancient
lnquisitor got in conference with the
news-butcher. Seemingly he was
not satisfied with the data he'd re-
ceived from the trainmen about the
momentary parking of trains at

United Press Staff Corresponds

Ottawa, Aug. 26. UP)-Creation
of an Allied Southeast Asia COM
mand with Lord Louis Mountbatten,
dashing leader of the British COM
mandos, as communicative chief,
was accepted today as only the first
of several important developments
likely to result from the Roosevelt
Churchill Quebec conferences dur
ing the next few weeks.
Unofficial British sources here be-
neved Mountbattens appointment
"for the conduct of operations based
on India and Ceylon against Japan"
forecast the appointment of an
American to command an Allied
invasion Of Western Europe. That
was a relatively minor implication
of the announcement. The major
one was the indication that there
would be an offensive this fall, as
soon as the Monsoon season ends in
October, to drive the Japanese out
of Burma and open China, the
short land route to the heart Of the
japanese Empire, to Allied armies.
Mountbatten is the first British
officer to be appointed commander
in-chief of Allied armies in which
American troops form part. Gen.
Douglas Macarthur cvommands in

and American troops. Gen. Dwight

With Reds
BY HARRISON SALISBURY
United Press staff Correspondent

London, Aug. 26-(UP)-The re-
turn of Ivan Maisky, former Soviet
Ambassador and now vice-commiS-
sar of Foreign Affairs to London
was believed today to afford an OPP
portunity FOR the Allied leaders to
arrange details of a three-poWer
conference expected to be held in
Moscow.
While it is impossible to assess the
effects of the Quebec conference on
Anglo American relations with Rus
STA without knowledge of what the
conferees decided, it can be stated
without qualification that the sur
face impression of the meeting
leaves Russia with the feeling that
immediate establishment in western
Europe of a second front still is a
considerable distance short of ach-
ievement.
Nevertheless it is known that Rus
STA is just as anxious for a three
power meeting as the Anglo Amer-
leans and it is taken as almost GER
tain that such a conference is going
to be held.
The. personnel of the conference
is difficult to predict but is believed
likely that it will include Foreign
Commissar v. NJ Molotov and Mas
ky and possibly former Soviet Am
bassador to the United States, Lit
vinov, on the Russian side.
Foreign Minister Anthony Eden
and possibly Prime Minister Chur-
chill might represent the British.

townsville, Pa, August &c. - Four
thousand workers at the local plant
of the Brewster Aeronautical Cor
poration were expected to end their
four day old strike hating the pro-
duction of naval planes at a mass
meeting today.
But, their leaders indicated. they
will Immediately approve giving no
tice of intention to resume the strike
30 days hence which will make it
legal under the recently enacted
anti-strike bill.
Workers of Brewster plants in
the New York City environs APP
proved the filing of the 30 day strike
notice at mass meeting last night
in sympathy for the local workers.
Thomas De Lorenzo, president OF
Local 1865, of the United Automobile
Workers Aviation division, told
them that it was possible they
would not be required to strike at
the end of 30 days as the issue might
be adjudicated meanwhile.
The issue involved 20 guards en-
ployed at the local plant whom the
Navy held under arrest on charge
of refusing to obey the orders OF
their military superiors. The men
had been indicted to enlist in the
Coast Guard Reserve.
-Four were arrested Monday and
the general strike of production
workers followed. Yesterday l6 more,
were arrested for failure to report
for duty.

Official announcement of his can
didacy for the election of mayor of
the City of Waterbury was made
today by William j. Cavanaugh of 10
Alma street, well-known east-end
resident and secretary of the Wa
terbury Lodge of Elks. His admis-
sion of candidacy removes all doubt
of a primary contest within the
Democratic party ranks, as Mayor
John S. Monaghan is generally con-
coded to be candidate for nominal
ton to succeed himself in the gen.
eral city election in November.
Under the rules of the Democra-
tic party, where a primary contest is
evident, each candidate must file
notice of his candidacy and list
of delegates to the various conven-
tons within q period of four days
before the date named by the eX-
ecutive committee of the Democra-
tic Town Committee. He must also
post a total of $500 with the town
committee, representing $25 for
each of the 80 voting districts, as a
guarantee that the candidates share
