Tells Senate He Plans
Nationwide Call to

By the Associated Press.
Senator LANCER, Republican. OF
North Dakota has announced plans
for a national nonpartisan conven-
ton to select a presidential nominee
and thus thwart what he called the
intentions of millionaire "monop-
olists" and predatory interests" to
dominate the postwar world.
In a speech in the Senate yes
terday, he said that he and two other
persons whom he did not identify
would call on leaders in every
precinct in the United States to
summon the people of the precincts
to meet at the leaders homes. These
precinct meetings would be held
simultaneously, on day to be an
nounced later.
Will Choose Delegates.
There" Senator LANCER said
"delegates will be chosen who will
meet week later at the county or
parish courthouse. There, delegates
will be chosen to meet at a State
convention and there, delegates will
be chosen to meet at a national
convention"
At this convention, he said, the
peoples delegates might choose
President Roosevelt, Wendell Willkie.

has heretofore not even been men

himself to the public.

Enough Fuel
ForWinter

Enough heating fuel is available
to carry the nation through the
winter with little discomfort, al
though few temporary, scattered
shortages have developed, a survey
showed today.
Heavy early purchases of coal,
urged by the Department of the In
terror, resulted in delivery of al
most 66 per cent of the supply for
home users before Dec. l.
Although dealer stocks were low,
the amount of coal in the hands
of consumers was unusually high
and, barring unseasonal cold waves,
it was expected to serve as a buffer
against labor and transportation
shortages, and the lack Of delivery
facilities.
Extreme cold weather and exhaus-
ton of dealer supplies resulted in an
acute fuel shortage at New York.
A special supplementary allotment
was expected to remedy the scarcity
of coal, although reserves fell to
IS per cent of normal and demand
was increased by the threat Of
more cold weather,
An artificial coal shortage at St.
Louis was caused by a scarcity OF
''smokeless'' coal. A city ordinance
prohibits the hand firing Of fur
naces with soft coal and many
small homes we're not equipped with
stokerS.
Many of the cities In which tenn
porary shortages developed provided
relief for individual consumers by
setting up emergency distribution
stations, where preference was given
to homes with children, and aged
or sick persons,

Detectives said the woman, who

apparently had been beaten with q

inserted. There were two or three
deep gashes in her forehead.
The husband, Louis, 80, a wealthy

Baldwin Invites Heads To
Discuss Postwar Situation

Hartford, Conn.,, Dec. 80 - Gov
ernor Raymond E. Baldwin said to-
day that he is sending invitations to
the heads of all municipal and town
governments of the state to dis
cuss with him and the Connecticut
Unemployment Commission in the
immediate future plans for total
mobilization of community re-
sources in meeting the problem of
unemployment of veterans and dis
placed war workers.
Governor BaldWin's statement
came after submission to him of a
preliminary report of the Connect
cut Unemployment Commission by
it's chairman, Carl A. Gray. In this
report, Mr.. Gray outlined the pro-
.gress that had already been made
in the organization of local COM
mrnity unemployment groups and
pointed out the desirability of hav-
ing these follow a uniform pattern.
1T is our feeling that the best
unemployment structure should be
built from the bottom up-that
solid foundation be laid in each To-
cal community" Governor Baldwin
said. For this reason, we believe it
is of prime Importance that each
city and town have a functioning,
alert and intelligently informed
committee which will marshall the
resources of that community. Our
State plan will be built by the in
tegration of these community
groups and similarly, we hope, that
any nation wide plan will be pro-
jected on the basis of what this
State and others are willing and
prepared to do"
Governor Baldwin said it was not
his intention to have each local
community follow an identical pat
tern but that there were certain
problems common to every COM
munity and general pattern"
which it would be desirable to fol-
low.
In the report of the Re-employ-
ment Commission it was pointed
out that the city of Stamford had
been selected by it as typical
Connecticut town in which to de-
velop a working model. The local
committee was organized last Sep
TENDER and is now functioning. This
will be presented, the Governor
said, as desirable pattern for
other communities to follow.

ganized on this basis, we shall have

Cloud formations 10000
feet deep blanketed the path
of the giant raiders all the
way to the Nazi capital and
chained the Luftwaffe'S
fighters to the ground.
Most of the returning
bomber crews said they failed
to see a single enemy fighter
along the way or over Berlin
itself.
Handicapped by their lack of night
fighters and the lmpenetrable CLOUDS,
Berlin's ground defenders threw up
a "blind" barrage of anti-aircra1s
fire and searchlights in a futile att
tempt to turn back the raiders.
Upwards of 300 British four
engined bombers struck under the
cover of clouds Oh one of the darkest
nights of the year and reports reach {
ing Sweden said destruction was
spread throughout the sprawnng1
metropolis, third largest city in Eu-
rope.

was concentrated and that largei
fires were seen with smoke rising to,
more than 10000 feet" an air mill

The nights tonnage boosted the
total dropped in eight major attacks

estimated will be required to erase

Twenty bomberS were lost in the

as well as mine-1aying operations.
Hardly had the big night raiders
returned than large formations OF
