 INJURED IN ALEUTIANS
 There were five of the Graffs sailing on Merle. His father, Fred D. Graf, thought they should make . memorable holiday of visiting Merle-something they would al- ways remember as big and thank eul day.
 MT. Graf laid of his work aS a die.maker and he and Mrs. Graft closed up their house, and here they were-all the five Graffs sit ting around Merle.
 MT. Graf said you had to appre- ciate America even more when you looked at Merle and saw what had been done for him. There had been an explosion in the Army camp up in the AleutianS and that's how Merle was so badly burned. He had been in six Army hospitals since

WILKES Opening Guns
Get G. O.P. Appreciation

Washington, Oct. 16 - (U.P) -
Wendell L. Wilkes charge that
prolonged presidential tenure jeop-
ardizes free government was re-
garded today as the Republican
party's keynote speech on the
fourth term issue.
Though they may differ with
Willkie on other issues, organization
Republicans are likely to accept the
argument that "long continuance Of
power Is hazardous to the perpetu-
alton Of free government. Willkie
made that statement last night In
his st. Louis address which. as a
whole. promises to win applause
among Republicans.
WilllZle spoke as an acknowledged
candidate for next years Republic
can presidential nomination and
dedicated himself TO ousting Pres
ident Roosevelt from the White
House. Republicans are for that.
Willkie commended that indivldu-
ais enjoying prolonged power ''in-
evitably come sincerely to believe
that they alone possess the reQui-
site knowledge 70 govern tbs peo-

didate and a great many Of them
think he will be reelected.
Whatever his intentions may be.
Mr.. Roosevelt has sought on no &C.
casion during his current term to
intimate that he did not expect to
remain in the White House. In his
second term. however, he more
than limited that he did not expect
q third.
It was on the evening Of March
4, 1897 at a Democratic victory din

In which the Republican party all

Sales ak
Seems Licked

washington, Oct. 16.-UP)-Rep.
John D. Dingell, D., Mich, a men,
her of the House ways and means
committee, predicted today that the
sales tax would be defeated because
1.-THE members jut aren't going to
vote the way they're talking"
His statement came after Presi-
dent Philip Murray of the Congress
Of Industrial Organizations told the
committee yesterday that general
sales tax would equal major mill
tary defeat and would force labor
to seek higher wages.
1.-THE sales tax always takes a
good ride at first, but in the final
showdown it lacks the votes" Din
CELL told reporters. He said senti-
ment for the sales tax as a replace
ment for the administrations $10,-
100000 program for increased
income, excise and estate taxes was
grossly overrated
Dingell favored an alternate ad-
ministration proposal for an increase
of at least s., 1900. 100000 in Social
Security taxes.

OF the 63rd annual American Fed
Grafton Of Labor convention that
ended Thursday continued to be
heard today with threat of strike
by the Brotherhood of Railway
Clerks and the nomination of a

President George M. Harrison of
the railway group said last night
at a meeting Of unis n railroad men
in Faneuil Hall that a strike ballot
might be taken by the IS railroad
brotherhoods "for other purposes
than actually stopping the rail-
roads"
Harrison told the meeting that
at q conference with President
Roosevelt IN Washington last Tues
day a wage scale agreement had
been reached. However, he said. the
matter still was disputed.

washington. oct. i6.-(UP)-The
war Labor Board was subjected 70
mounting pressure today TO md Q
speedy settlement Of the united
Mine Workers seven-month-oid wage
dispute.
The strike OF Alabama's $4,000
miners coupled with appeals from
hieh government officials to the VILE

Me Alabama case at q special ses-
lion today while awaiting q response
from UNIV President John L. Lewis
and other union officials to It's tele-
gram urging them to ask the miners
TO reopen the Alabama pits.
The telegram said the walkout
was seriously interrupting vital pro-
duction and was In violation OF ma
tional policy.
It was sent shortly after disclos-
ure that solid fuels administrator
Harold L. Ickes, Undersecretary OF
war Robert p. Patterson and Un-
dersecretary Of Navy James v. For
restal had written the board to ask
peedy action in the case TO prevent
"a catastrophe Of the first order"
Lewis and UNIV secretary-Treas-
urer Thomas ]. Kennedy conferred
with board members late yesterday
WLB Chairman William H. Davis
said, however, they had been called
to discuss the proposed Illinois wage

Allies May Strike Early
BI0lU To Retake Singapore

London, Oct. 16-(UP)-The ap-

Pownall as chief Of staff to Vice
Admiral Lord Louis Mountbatten
In southeast Asia was expected to-
day to set In motion an Allied Of
fensive that may bypass Burma

Observers believed that Allied
preparations IN southea stAsla have
reached the action stage and that
major blows against the Japanese
In that theater may be expected
soon, probably IN coordination with
q new drive by Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur's southwest Pacific forces.

Will Get New
Homes

Additional housing relief is prom
ised for Naugatuck in the an
nouncement that the War PRODUCE
ton Board has granted full prior
tiles to the Naugatuck Development
Company Inc. for the building Of
200 one family houses in the north
west section in that town.
George w. Cassidy, president of
the Company. stated that the hous-
es will be two story structures con-
sisting Of five finished rooms and
one unfinished room. adding 1--WE
hope to finish the entire 200 within
200 working days.
II Is pointed out that the Fed
eral Housing Administration has
been eager to bring about some
measure Of relief to offset the crit
zeal housing condition that has ex-
listed in Naugatuck and surround
ing parts, and It is believed that It
Is through this agency's efforts that
this new construction has been
made possible. Although the pro-
ject Is to be privately financed 1t
Is understood that the FILA will in
sure the mortgages. The estimated
cost Of the entire Job Is put at ST.
100000.
1t Is believed that In face Of the
critical situation that has confront
ed the Rubber industry in Nauga-
tuck in which the adverse housing
situation has created the possibility
of the industry being unable to hire
more workers because Of lack OF
facilities as to where they might
live, that this construction work has
been granted top priorities so that
this vital industry would no be cur

Charged with
MonsIoughter

Trial Of Clarence Northrop, for
Tner attendant at the Southbury
Training school, who Is charged
with manslaughter in connection
with the death OF Bonaventure Ris-
poll, 10-year old inmate, Is scheduled
to start before Superior Court Judge
John A. Cornell Wednesday at 10
a. m. A charge Of "endangering life
of child" had been made originally
against the accused but the man.
slaughter information was added
after Corner Miles F.. McNiff found
Northrop was crimirslly negligent.
The young boy died from internal
injuries sustained when a l9-year
old inmate applied spray nozzle
hose to his body while bathing him.
The coroner's finding stated that
Northrop had ordered the 19-year
old youth, who has a mentality Of
q siX-year old child, to battle the
boy and that he reasonably should
have known the boy would be in
bodily danger. 1t was pointed out
that Northrop was not employed at
other duties at the time Of the
incident.
No negligence charge was made
against the 19-year- old boy be-
cause 1t was found his mental In
capacity prevented him from form
ing a criminal intent. The Rispoli
boy died August 10, the day after
the incident.
With the disposition Of the South
bury case only one other, that OF
Andrew Kovac, who has pleaded not
guilty to a charge Of breaking and
entering, will remain on the fall
criminal docket. A hearing in the
Kovac case Is expected to follow I'M
mediately after the Northrop trial.
